MFIMM Chapter 12
by VolareSleeping on the Same Bed
“Are you really going to let a delicate omega like me sleep on the floor?” Lin Xi attempted to awaken Pei Jiashu’s conscience, but Pei Jiashu instead stepped closer, using his height to look down on him, and chuckled:
“I don’t see any signs of your supposed fragility.”
Lin Xi was frustrated and pushed Pei Jiashu away. Just then, the housekeeper knocked and entered the room. Lin Xi immediately pretended to be adjusting Pei Jiashu’s collar.
The housekeeper looked at them both with a smile. “Young Mistress, I’ve prepared a new set of toiletries for you. I couldn’t find pajamas in your size, so would you mind wearing Young Master’s?”
“Wear his?” Lin Xi’s face showed a smile that was more like a grimace. Pei Jiashu narrowed his eyes, enjoying Lin Xi’s expression, and almost bit into Lin Xi’s ear as he asked, “Wearing mine is not okay?”
The warm breath tickled his ear, sending shivers down his spine.
Lin Xi turned his head to avoid Pei Jiashu, but he was afraid of being too obvious, so he could only hold back. He forcefully tugged on Pei Jiashu’s tie, causing Pei Jiashu to lower his head, but his face still held a doting smile.
Lin Xi cursed inwardly: a beast in clothing.
Then he raised a smiling face and said in a sickeningly sweet voice, “Do I wear your underwear too?”
The housekeeper was still there. Pei Jiashu didn’t expect Lin Xi to say such a thing and didn’t react for a moment, but then he saw Lin Xi shyly lower his head, his entire body visibly blushing.
The astonishment in his eyes gradually turned into a mischievous smile. “Of course, you can wear whatever you want.”
Lin Xi subtly shuddered. He would never tease Pei Jiashu again. With this person’s thick skin, he would only harm himself more than the enemy.
He let go of Pei Jiashu’s hand and pushed him away with some anger, but he didn’t dare use real force, and the push was soft, like a spoiled brat.
Pei Jiashu finally stopped teasing him and had the housekeeper put the things in the bathroom.
Pei Jiashu opened his closet. Most of the clothes here were from his high school days. He had moved out after college, but the housekeepers would regularly replenish the clothes in the closet.
He casually grabbed a white T-shirt from inside and took out a pair of casual pants, comparing them to Lin Xi’s body. “No, they’re a bit long.”
Lin Xi looked up at Pei Jiashu. Although his height was not short among omegas, it was naturally incomparable to a gifted alpha like Pei Jiashu.
He casually grabbed the pants and said angrily, “Isn’t it just a pair of pajama pants? Just wear them!”
He soon paid the price for his actions. Pei Jiashu’s clothes were a loose style, the T-shirt reaching his thighs, but the pants were far too long, rolled up to reveal slender ankles.
Pei Jiashu’s eyes were fixed on Lin Xi. Lin Xi, who had just come out of the bathroom, was covered in misty moisture, his hair still wet, dripping down his face and sliding into his collarbones.
The T-shirt was also too big for Lin Xi. His frame was small, and the straight-shouldered T-shirt revealed a large expanse of collarbone. The pants hung loosely on his waist, held up by Lin Xi’s hands.
“Hey, are you too fat or something? Do you have any pants with a belt?” Lin Xi looked at Pei Jiashu and said.
Pei Jiashu’s eyes darkened slightly, his gaze sweeping over Lin Xi’s waist. He suddenly remembered that day in the bar, the young man’s lean waist under the dim lights.
“It’s your waist that’s too thin.”
His voice was a little hoarse. He went to the closet again and found a pair of beach shorts for Lin Xi.
“You sleep on the bed.” Pei Jiashu handed the clothes to Lin Xi and said. Lin Xi looked at him in surprise. “You’re going to sleep on the floor?”
“I’m sleeping on the bed too.”
“What! You’re going to sleep on the same bed as me?” Lin Xi grabbed the pants with one hand and hugged his chest with the other, taking a step back.
Pei Jiashu was speechless, looking at Lin Xi with a helpless expression. “You should sleep on the floor.”
“Wait, on second thought, sleeping on the same bed is fine too.”
“Too late.” After saying that, Pei Jiashu walked into the bathroom, leaving Lin Xi outside.
Lin Xi shouted loudly at Pei Jiashu, “I don’t care, since you said it, I’m sleeping on your bed.”
He grabbed the pants and pounced on the bed, rolling around on the soft mattress, then changed into the shorts. They were a bit ugly, but at least they wouldn’t fall down.
He grabbed a pillow from the bed and put a dividing line in the middle of the bed, lying on the other side.
But he couldn’t sleep. He crept up and looked at the room. The room was very, very big, but there were hardly any extra things in it. The decoration style was also black, white, and gray.
There was a table by the window with many things on it: Pei Jiashu’s childhood photos, the honors he had received, covering an entire wall, and a wall of books. He glanced at them hastily. There were all kinds of books on the bookshelf.
He looked at the photos on the bookshelf. There were only three photos.
One was from when Pei Jiashu was very young, being held in his parents’ arms. Lin Xi had never seen the person holding him. He should be a male omega, very beautiful. If you looked closely, you would find that Pei Jiashu’s mouth and nose looked like his.
Another photo was from when Pei Jiashu was three or four years old, being held in his father’s arms, wearing the same four-piece suit as his father, like a little prince. Both people were smiling in the photo, Pei Yuebin smiling very restrainedly, as if looking at the person taking the photo.
The third photo was taken when he entered elementary school. Pei Jiashu in the photo was expressionless, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.
“Click—” The bathroom door was opened. Lin Xi hurriedly put down the photo in his hand. Pei Jiashu keenly noticed his movements, and a trace of anger flashed in his dark eyes.
He walked over and stuffed all the photos into the drawer of the table.
Lin Xi stood there, looking at Pei Jiashu helplessly. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have touched your things without your permission.”
Pei Jiashu pursed his lips, his upturned peach blossom eyes drooping at this time. He looked at Lin Xi, trying to restrain his temper, and said, “Go dry your hair, be careful not to catch a cold.”
“Oh, okay.”
Used to Pei Jiashu arguing with him, this sudden concern made Lin Xi even more unsure of how to react, so he could only go dry his hair first.
In the bathroom, he had a flash of inspiration and took out his phone to search for Pei Yuebin.
His first wife had passed away eighteen years ago, which meant that Pei Jiashu’s mother was gone when he was seven years old.
No wonder Pei Jiashu looked so young yet so depressed in that photo.
Thinking of that photo, Lin Xi couldn’t help but feel a pang of pain in his heart.
After drying his hair, Pei Jiashu was already lying in bed. He lay on one side of the bed, and Lin Xi tiptoed to the other side.
“Pei Jiashu, I…”
“Don’t talk, I want to sleep.” Pei Jiashu interrupted him.
Lin Xi could only shut up obediently, lying flat on the bed. The lights in the bedroom were turned off, leaving only a dim, warm yellow bedside lamp.
He turned his head, the light casting a shadow on Pei Jiashu’s face.
Lin Xi couldn’t help but think, was it because his mother passed away too early that Pei Jiashu developed such a bad personality? He looked so much cuter when he was a child.
The thoughts in his brain were like a tangled mess. He couldn’t sort out what those mixed emotions were. In the silent space, he could only hear his own throbbing heartbeat, gradually falling asleep in the sound of steady heartbeats.
The person sleeping on the other side suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Lin Xi in the dim light, as if trying to see through his skin.
Lin Xi suddenly moved, turning over, his leg resting on the pillow between them, closing the distance with Pei Jiashu in an instant. The sweet honey scent rushed into his nose, and his quilt was suddenly pressed down by a pair of feet.
Pei Jiashu looked down and saw that one of Lin Xi’s feet had crossed the dividing line he had drawn, and was now resting on his quilt.
Without thinking, Pei Jiashu kicked Lin Xi’s foot away. The sleeping Lin Xi groaned, and his whole body clung to the pillow like an octopus, the pillow already being squeezed towards him by Lin Xi.
“Lin Xi…” Pei Jiashu pressed his throbbing forehead. He shouldn’t have been soft-hearted and let Lin Xi sleep on the bed.
The sleeping Lin Xi had very good sleep quality, no matter how Pei Jiashu tried to wake him up.
Pei Jiashu could only push the person and the pillow to the other side.
Disturbed by this little episode, Pei Jiashu’s pre-sleep emotions had long disappeared. He suddenly laughed and closed his eyes to rest.
The next day, he was awakened by pressure again. Pei Jiashu opened his eyes and saw Lin Xi hugging the pillow almost close to him, his slender legs resting on his waist through the pillow.
Pei Jiashu’s mouth twitched slightly. He pushed Lin Xi’s legs away, and Lin Xi immediately hugged the pillow and rolled to the other side.
He didn’t have a quilt on his body, and his sleeping posture was really ugly. The wide T-shirt was rubbed up to his waist because of his movements, and he could vaguely see the skin on his waist, which seemed to glow white in the morning sun.
And those slender legs, without any excess fat, the calves were slender and white.
Pei Jiashu’s throat felt dry. He swallowed to cover it up, and kicked Lin Xi’s butt. “Lin Xi, get up and go home.”
The kicked Lin Xi opened his eyes in a daze, hugging the pillow. His brain hadn’t reacted yet, but his mouth took the lead in cursing: “What idiot kicked my butt.”
His eyes met with Pei Jiashu’s.
“Why did you kick my butt?” Lin Xi sat up from the bed and looked at Pei Jiashu.
Pei Jiashu replied lightly: “Because you slept over the dividing line, and just now your legs were resting on my waist.”
Lin Xi looked at the pillow in his hand, not knowing how many places it had moved with him.
But his morning temper came up, and he could scold even a dog. He said to Pei Jiashu: “What’s wrong with letting me rest them there for a while! Stingy alpha.”
Pei Jiashu was so angry that he wanted to laugh. He suddenly approached Lin Xi, and put his large hand on Lin Xi’s thigh. Lin Xi’s hair stood on end in an instant. The hand followed his thigh, all the way to his calf, and was about to touch his foot. Lin Xi quickly kicked Pei Jiashu’s hand away.
“You…you pervert.” Lin Xi was being touched like this for the first time, turning into a shrimp on the spot.
Pei Jiashu’s mood improved a lot. He raised his eyebrows and said to Lin Xi, “What’s wrong with letting me touch it for a while?”
Lin Xi choked on his own words, speechless, and could only smash the pillow angrily.
