My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 353: Collecting Rainwater

Soon, He Yushui returned to her room and looked at Zhang Lei, who was still sleeping, and couldn't help but lean close to look at him.

Seeing Zhang Lei sleeping soundly, I couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek.

He Yushui was relieved to see that Zhang Lei did not react.

At this moment, Zhang Lei was pretending to be asleep. When he felt He Yushui kissing him, he immediately thought: How can this girl be so bold?

Zhang Lei continued to feign drunkenness, saying, "Water...water..."

He Yushui quickly brought the water to Zhang Lei's lips and fed it to him.

At this moment, Zhang Lei wanted to continue sleeping, but He Yushui saw that Zhang Lei was wearing so many clothes and said, "Brother Zhang Lei, let me take off your clothes. You're not comfortable sleeping like this."

Zhang Lei also let He Yushui take off his clothes.

But then, He Yushui suddenly glanced at Zhang Lei's pants.

Zhang Lei was startled and thought: Could He Yushui be that bold?

However, considering that she was wearing shorts, she let He Yushui take off her pants.

After taking off her pants, He Yushui covered Zhang Lei with the blanket, looked at him, and then called out, "Brother Zhang Lei, Brother Zhang Lei."

Seeing that Zhang Lei didn't react, He Yushui finally felt relieved.

He Yushui gradually calmed down, only to find herself covered in sweat, feeling sticky and uncomfortable.

Thinking about it, she went out to fetch a basin of hot water, closed the door, took off her clothes, and began to gently wipe her body.

Zhang Lei slept for a while, and when he felt that there was no movement beside him, he quietly opened his eyes to see what He Yushui was doing.

But what he saw stunned him completely.

He Yushui noticed someone was watching her and turned around abruptly, meeting Zhang Lei's piercing gaze.

Looking at her current appearance, she was so frightened that she was about to scream.

Zhang Lei reacted quickly, immediately stepping forward to cover her mouth and whispering, "Don't shout."

Seeing Zhang Lei's actions, He Yushui realized that she had panicked too much.

The scene before her made her so ashamed that she quickly grabbed her clothes to cover herself.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Lei quickly apologized, "Yushui, I didn't mean to."

He Yushui didn't say anything, but turned her head away, crawled into the quilt, and wrapped herself up tightly.

Zhang Lei quickly said, "Rain, let me explain."

He Yushui peeked her head out from under the covers, looked at Zhang Lei, and whispered, "Brother Zhang Lei, I'm not blaming you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei was momentarily speechless.

He Yushui glanced at the situation inside the room and involuntarily shrank further into the quilt.

At this moment, Zhang Lei gently hugged her from behind, and she felt a sweet warmth in her heart, extremely happy.

She whispered, "Brother Zhang Lei..."

Before she could finish speaking, He Yushui asked in a low voice, puzzled, "Brother Zhang Lei, is there something on you that's poking me?"

Zhang Lei involuntarily stepped back slightly, and said awkwardly in a low voice, "This...this is a treasure."

Suddenly, He Yushui's hand reached out and grabbed that spot, startling Zhang Lei.

The moment she grabbed him, He Yushui's hand froze, and she instantly curled up in Zhang Lei's arms, blushing with embarrassment, whispering, "Brother Zhang Lei, you lied to me..."

Looking at the shy He Yushui in his arms, and then at their intimate posture, Zhang Lei felt a surge of heat and couldn't help but ask, "Yushui, would you like to marry Brother Zhang Lei?"

He Yushui nodded vigorously, her voice soft and sweet: "Brother Zhang Lei, I'm willing."

Zhang Lei smiled and said softly, "Yushui, let's get our marriage certificate when you graduate."

He Yushui nodded obediently.

The two leaned close together, the ambiguous atmosphere growing stronger, and He Yushui slowly closed her eyes.

Looking at her with her eyes closed and her face full of shyness, Zhang Lei could no longer resist. He gently leaned down and kissed her. The red candle smoke warmed the light curtains, the jade mountains overlapped, casting hazy shadows. The low curtains revealed the hibiscus color, and the sound of spring tides and rain filled the night.

Zhang Lei woke up very early the next morning.

Looking at He Yushui lying quietly in his arms, he wanted to get up gently, but as soon as he moved, He Yushui woke up.

Her voice was still a little groggy: "Brother Zhang Lei, you're awake?"

Seeing how tired she looked, Zhang Lei said softly, "Yushui, why don't you sleep a little longer? I'll get up and go buy you some breakfast."

He Yushui nodded gently: "Okay."

After Zhang Lei left, He Yushui lay on the bed, recalling the tender moments they had shared the previous night. A blush rose on her face, and her heart was filled with secret joy and sweetness.

She never imagined that she would actually end up with the person she liked.

Just thinking about Zhang Lei's handsome appearance and his gentle manner towards her filled her with happiness.

She tried to get up, but felt weak all over, so she lay back down.

Not long after, Zhang Lei returned with breakfast.

The two sat together, eating and chatting.

Zhang Lei looked at her and said seriously, "Yushui, if anything happens in the future, just come to No. 90 courtyard to find me. I will explain things to them over there."

Upon hearing this, He Yushui nervously tugged at his sleeve: "Brother Zhang Lei, Sister Shuqin and the others... will they blame me?"

Zhang Lei smiled gently and reassured her, "Don't worry, they're all very understanding and won't blame you. With me here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

He Yushui nodded in relief.

After dinner, Zhang Lei stayed with her for a while, coaxing her to sleep before quietly leaving.

As soon as I returned to the courtyard house at No. 90, I saw Ye Shuqin already up.

Zhang Lei was a little surprised: "Shuqin, why are you up so early?"

Ye Shuqin glanced at him lightly, with a hint of reproach: "It's all because someone didn't come home last night. How could I, as his wife, sleep soundly?"

Zhang Lei quickly stepped forward, smiling and coaxing, "Wife, it's my fault. I drank too much last night and rested over there."

Ye Shuqin looked at him and asked directly, "What exactly happened over in Yushui?"

Knowing he couldn't hide it from her, Zhang Lei honestly told her everything about how he and He Yushui liked each other and decided to be together.

Ye Shuqin sighed softly: "The rain is still light, you should take better care of her."

Zhang Lei quickly assured him, "I know, I will treat her well and I will be mindful of my boundaries."

Despite saying that, he himself felt a little guilty.

Ye Shuqin rolled her eyes at him helplessly: "You..."

Zhang Lei quickly stepped forward, smiling apologetically and promising that he would take good care of his family and everyone in the future, which finally made Ye Shuqin let him go.

Ye Shuqin looked at him, and finally softened her tone: "Husband, I'm not stopping you, I just hope you can be more careful in your actions."

Zhang Lei nodded quickly: "I've got it."

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere returned to its usual warm and harmonious state.
