President, finish this cup of green teaCh19 - Honeymoon (5)

Zhong Chai spent the rest of the days at home with Xiao Cha after a week-long honeymoon and enough water sports.

The two turned on the projector every day to watch movies. ybzs9O

It’s a shame that even Stephen Chow’s most iconic old movie had Zhong Chai fall asleep while watching it.

Like most people’s houses, the primary function of television was to listen to the excitement.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Later, when Xiao Cha realized Zhong Chai couldn’t watch anything, he cut a channel at random to play background music for Zhong Chai’s work.

The station began broadcasting “The Legend of Zhen Huan” on this day. s 9BCD

Zhong Chai, who was working, suddenly raised his head and stared intently at the screen.

Xiao Cha, who was reading a script next to him: …

Xiao Cha: “Xiao Chai, do you like watching this?”

Zhong Chai: “Yes!”

Xiao Cha: Unlock Xiao Chai’s new hobby√

Zhong Chai only dreamed of palace intrigue throughout those nights.

In the dream, he was the Emperor, reclining on the bed, with the anxious Xiao Cha serving him.

“Your Majesty, it’s dragon-phoenix twins.” Xiao Cha wept with joy, “You gave this concubine an auspicious pair!” QWd1nv

Zhong Chai returned his handhold, constantly suspecting something was wrong but unable to tell in his dream. He simply stated weakly: “We thank you for giving birth to two children at the same time for us. We’ll bestow the guifei title onto you!”

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Cha hugged Zhong Chai tightly, sensing the guy in his arms’ unease. 6kRMy2

“I had a nightmare.” Zhong Chai gasped out. In his head, the vision of Father Zhong’s head growing on top of the children’s heads lingered.

“What did you dream about?” Xiao Cha softly comforted.

“I dreamed of becoming Emperor, having dragon and phoenix twins, and making you Guifei.” Zhong Chai’s tone was quite calm as he mentioned this.

Xiao Cha’s heart, however, skipped a beat. 9nTL I

Is it possible that Zhong Chai dislikes children? So he considers this a nightmare?

It’s not that Xiao Cha hadn’t considered the possibility of Zhong Chai having a “DINK” mentality previously. For all, growing up in that kind of atmosphere and always focused on his job made Zhong Chai’s disinterest in children rather natural.

Nonetheless, a child was obviously a very vital connection in their business marriage, and it was also the most secure means for Xiao Cha to gain a firm foothold.

Xiao Cha, who was considering how to probe, was interrupted by Zhong Chai’s words, “I was frightened to death! Those two kids looked exactly like my father! They even called me a little bastard…” Kd8vTl

Xiao Cha imagined that scene.

It was indeed a nightmare.

He sighed with relief and tenderly brushed Zhong Chai’s hair: “It’s fine; dreams are all made up. You must be dreaming of such things as a result of your binging on palace drama during the day.”

Zhong Chai relaxed as well, and quickly fell asleep in Xiao Cha’s warm embrace. 1zW4Gu

Xiao Cha held Zhong Chai and laughed at Father Zhong turning into infants and scolding Zhong Chai.

As a result, someone who used to coax his man to sleep became the one who couldn’t sleep.

Xiao Cha didn’t fall asleep until dawn, tired.

Xiao Cha also dreamed of the palace drama that night, possibly because he fell asleep thinking about Zhong Chai’s nightmare. ucfZKW

He was lying on the bed in the dream, Zhong Chai was sitting beside him, and Qian Nanyou was kneeling on the ground, bitterly complaining about Xiao Cha’s offenses.

Xiao Cha’s head was buzzing, and the tension in the dream drove him to adopt the weakest and most anguished expression, “From Empress Qian’s accusations, even this concubine’s death would be nothing… But this concubine’s child didn’t even get to open its eyes and look at the world…”

He sobbed bitterly, “This concubine’s child is so blameless!”

“Boohoo, I didn’t see anything!” From the corner, a child sobbed. Yet, it seemed more like an adult pinching his voice than a child, and the more he listened, the more familiar it sounded. fR6wt3

Xiao Cha took a closer look, and found that the little girl actually had the secretary’s face!

He almost passed out. At this point, the little “secretary” wailed, “Empress Mother pushed Noble Consort Cha! She pushed her!”

Xiao Cha almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

What the hell is going on! 4u0QXF

In the all-too-familiar lines of the famous scene, he finally realized he was dreaming and awoke.

Zhong Chai snored softly in the crook of his arms.

Xiao Cha had never been more glad for his country’s monogamy law.

If he’d entered the harem…he feared he would’ve been annoyed to death by Qian Nanyou’s ugly mug! b3p2I6

Xiao Cha silently changed the TV to the children’s channel.

Zhong Chai kept mum as well.

After all, neither of them wanted palace intrigue in their dreams anymore!
