After dinner, Song Shuang took a shower and went to the bedroom.

The bedroom lighting was adjusted to a warm and vague style.

It was not the warm yellow color as it had used to be.

Now it was rosy.

It also contained a bit of confusing charm.

"What are you doing?"

Song Shuang frowned and glared at Gu Baisheng who had just drawn the curtain.

"Why are you so aggressive?"

Gu Baisheng turned around and walked towards the bed. She lifted the quilt and looked at him, "You don't look happy today, so I want to have an open conversation with you."

Song Shuang squinted.

Gu Baisheng saw that he stood still.

She frowned and bit her lip.

She suddenly recalled what Qu Xiaobo said to her in the afternoon.

"You can achieve anything as long as you're bold."

She was upset and scared.

"But I haven't done this before."

Qu Xiaobo started to brainwash her, "Practice makes perfect! And it's no need to feel shy. You're married for so long."

She still struggled, "But this idea is so..."

"Trust me! You got this! Song Shuang is passionate inside."

"I don't think it's his style."

"You haven't tried it yet. How do you know that he doesn't like it?"

Qu Xiaobo tried to cheer her up.

She finally made up her mind.

But now she was unsure again.

And the way Song Shuang looked at her was so harsh.

She was a bit scared.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Nothing..."

Gu Baisheng dared not to continue.

Song Shuang frowned, "I'll sleep at the side bedroom tonight."

He turned away and left her a cold back.

Gu Baisheng reached her hand powerlessly and tried to stop him, but she couldn't utter a word.

She had no choice but to call Qu Xiaobo.

Qu Xiaobo and Zhang Kai just went to bed.

When Qu Xiaobo heard Gu Baisheng's call, she reached for her phone and answered it immediately.

Gu Baisheng said hesitantly on the other end, "I failed before I started."

"What happened?"

Qu Xiaobo tried to analyze.

Gu Baisheng moved her lips helplessly and told her everything, "When I just adjusted the lighting according to your instruction, he thought that I was odd and went to the side bedroom."

"Follow him to the side bedroom then."

"No." Gu Baisheng was tired.

Qu Xiaobo shook her head and despised her, "If you don't follow him and have an open conversation with him, how do you know why he lied and took off his wedding ring today?"

Gu Baisheng became silent.

Qu Xiaobo continued, "You're a couple, and you have to fix the problems. Communication is the key."

"He doesn't want to communicate with me."

Gu Baisheng felt sad.

"Try! Didn't I tell you today? That pink..."

"OK, enough!" Gu Baisheng interrupted Qu Xiaobo before she said something inappropriate, "I know. I get it. Please stop."

Qu Xiaobo nodded and encouraged her, "You got this, honey!"

Gu Baisheng hung up the call. Then she stood up and walked to the side bedroom.

As soon as the call was over, Qu Xiaobo was about to change her cheerleader gesture, Zhang Kai asked, "What happened to Gu Baisheng?"

"She offended Song Shuang last night when she was drunk, so she wants to please him."

"Does Gu Baisheng know how to do so?"

Zhang Kai felt it was as odd as the sun rose from the wrong direction.

As everyone knew, Gu Baisheng married Song Shuang when she was pregnant.

Song Shuang was willing to be the child's dad.

All their classmates and teachers thought that Song Shuang did her a favor and offered to be the dad of her child because he felt sorry for her.

Only a few knew the real reason why Song Shuang did so.

After they got married, they didn't behave like an affectionate couple. Although they respected each other, they were not so in love.

Before Shen's death, Gu Baisheng and Song Shuang never argued with each other.

After Shen's death, they almost fell out.

Although Song Shuang had no intention to divorce her, their relationship was almost over.

She wouldn't stare at him when she caught sight of him.

Pleasing him after a quarrel was impossible.

But now Gu Baisheng offered to do so?

Wasn't it a daydream?

Qu Xiaobo could see how shocked Zhang Kai was.

She sighed, "Everything is different now."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Kai asked.

Qu Xiaobo smiled, "Count the times that Song Shuang saved her life this year."

Zhang Kai counted them carefully.

When she was dragged into the car and almost got raped, this was one. When she was revenged because she reported Bai Dahai's gambling, this was another one. When she was under arrest because her ex-boyfriend stirred up trouble, Song Shuang saved her again. It was true that Song Shuang saved her from trouble every single time.

"Song Shuang really cares about her."

Zhang Kai couldn't help exclaiming.

Qu Xiaobo smiled, "Yeah, women's hearts are not made of stones. She was so traumatized by Shen's accident, but Song Shuang's gentleness is very touching too. It's just a matter of time that her heart is softened."

Qu Xiaobo exclaimed.

Zhang Kai nodded and thought it made sense. He looked at Qu Xiaobo, "Someday, I can impress you and make you marry me, right?"

Qu Xiaobo didn't answer and turned over.

...

Gu Baisheng was inspired by Qu Xiaobo's encouragement.

She bit her lip and thought about it for a while.

Then she opened the door and walked to the side bedroom.

She knocked on the door gently.

But nobody answered.

When she tried to open the door, she realized the door wasn't locked.

Song Shuang couldn't help squinting his eyes when he saw her open the door.

He didn't expect it.

He didn't expect Gu Baisheng who had never compromised with him would try to please him.

He put his notebook aside.

Gu Baisheng turned off the light because she felt it was too bright.

The light of the computer screen made Gu Baisheng feel more comfortable.

"Well..."

She struck up a conversation.

Song Shuang didn't rush to know what she would like to talk about.

He just looked at her.

Gu Baisheng took a deep breath, but she couldn't say what Qu Xiaobo taught her to say.

So, she walked toward Song Shuang, lifted the quilt and sat in front of him, "I finished my embroidery that Auntie Hu taught me last time."

Song Shuang was speechless.

He had no idea of what she was talking about.

Gu Baisheng bit her lip and reached out her hand to hold his hand. She pulled his hand over, "Do you want to feel the embroidery?"

Song Shuang squinted at her as if she had been mental.

Gu Baisheng was so embarrassed.

She felt that Qu Xiaobo was messing up with her.

She had already said the most awkward thing.

So, she didn't care about anything now.

She lifted her hands to untie her silk robe.

The robe slipped from her shoulders smoothly as soon as she untied it.

Song Shuang's gaze moved down from her eyes.

His facial expression suddenly became complicated when he saw her clothes.

Gu Baisheng felt unsettled when she saw his face.

Song Shuang stared at her for a few seconds and asked, "Who taught you this?"

Gu Baisheng was so embarrassed when she noticed that he was holding back his laughter. She grabbed her robe and covered her chest.

Her face was extremely red.

"Qu…Qu Xiaobo"

Song Shuang couldn't help laughing.

The dark room was filled with his laughter.

Now it became more casual.

Gu Baisheng gradually looked up when she heard his laughter. And she felt that it was less tense.

"Why do you cover it if you want me to see it?"

Song Shuang tugged at her robe jokingly.

His gentle touch and ridicule made Gu Baisheng feel more embarrassed.

"I won't let you look it!"

She got out of bed and wanted to rush out of the room.

But the robe was really long. When she got out of the bed, she accidentally stepped on her robe and slipped.

Luckily, Song Shuang acted quickly and held her up.

When Gu Baisheng got back on the bed, she was too shy to show her face, so she covered half of her face with her robe.

When she pulled up her robe, the embroidery on her top showed up.

Under the screen light of the computer, her top covered her chest cleverly, which made Song Shuang feel funny and cute.

He couldn't help smiling.

"Did Qu Xiaobo suggest you doing so?"

Song Shuang's fingers gently caressed her cheek and tried to remove her robe.

Gu Baisheng nodded but still covered her face with her robe.

"Did you try this for the first time?"

Gu Baisheng was too shy to think straight, so she nodded silently.

She dared not look at Song Shuang.

But she had to because they were facing each other.

Song Shuang put his hand on her top and touched the embroidery.

Gu Baisheng felt his touch, and she shivered.

She moved her body to avoid it.

"Didn't you ask me to have a look?"

Gu Baisheng moved her lips, tensed up her body and stopped moving.

Song Shuang's touch was very gentle.

But when he touched her top, she couldn't help biting her lip.

Song Shuang suddenly felt that his sadness was cleared up when he saw that she looked at him in such a shy and sneaky way with her face red.

"It's great. Much better this time."

Song Shuang commented on the embroidery.

He remembered that she used to learn embroidery from Hu Hui, but she couldn't even embroider a butterfly.

The peony she embroidered now was shy and charming,

Just like her right now.

After he finished looking, Gu Baisheng quickly withdrew her hands and covered her body with the quilt. She asked him in a low voice, "Did it work?"

Song Shuang smiled at her, "Qu Xiaobo asked you to please me like this?"

Gu Baisheng nodded and blinked her eyes.

"Then did she tell you what to do next?"

Gu Baisheng bit her lip and curled up her body shyly, "Can you tell me why you sent me back to Auntie Hu's house?"

Song Shuang lied next to her with his hand supporting his head, "Can't you understand it?"

"What?"

"To return the product."

Gu Baisheng was speechless.
