After Becoming A Popular Girl, I Choose My Husband On Planet X - Chapter 6

She was holding a cream-colored plush blanket, wearing soft slippers as she walked to the bedroom door. She smiled and waved at the two men:

“Then… good night.”

After saying that, she stretched out her hand, ready to close the door with a bang.

But before she could touch the handle, two deep voices came from behind at the same time:

“Wait.”

“Where are you going to sleep?”

Bai Zixin turned back, blinking in confusion: “Of course… in the room?”

Gao Muting’s tone was matter-of-fact: “We’re going in too.”

Ye Yibai smiled gently: “Yes, tonight is the first night after marriage, shouldn’t we sleep together?”

Bai Zixin: “!!” Damn, she forgot that today was the wedding. She just thought of it as a date. Wait—she had no experience, what should she do?

Her whole face turned red at a speed visible to the eye, like a freshly cooked shrimp.

“W-wait… although we did register, but… but I’m not used to this kind of life…” She nervously scratched her head, her fingers tugging at the corner of her nightdress, her small face wrinkled tight.

“Can you stay in the guest room first? Please…”

Gao Muting stepped closer, his voice cold but leaving no room to resist: “No.”

Ye Yibai added with a soft smile, his voice low yet firm: “Really no.”

Bai Zixin: “You… you are that insistent?!”

Both men nodded at the same time. For once they formed a rare alliance, one on her left and one on her right, closing in on her. The pressure of their perfect faces drawing near made her heartbeat skip.

Her lips twitched slightly, her mind spinning fast.

—If she refused like this, would they think she disliked them?

—But if they slept together… she would be too nervous to sleep at all!

She let out a sigh, steeled herself, and stepped back to open the door.

“…Fine. Come in.” She spoke helplessly, “Luckily the bed is big enough, or else someone would really have to sleep on the floor tonight.”

Gao Muting quickly walked into the room, taking off his military jacket and hanging it neatly on the rack. His cold, strong body and sharp shoulders showed clearly. Even in only a black undershirt, he still carried the aura of a battlefield, lowering the temperature of the whole room.

Ye Yibai, with a soft smile, removed his robe. Inside was a white shirt, slightly loose, sleeves folded casually. His warm presence was like a cup of hot milk, even the way he walked made people feel at ease.

Bai Zixin quietly climbed onto the bed, curling up in the small space at the center. She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, like a hamster curled into a ball, only her two wet eyes peeking out.

“Are you really going to sleep beside me…?” Her voice was as tiny as a mosquito.

The two answered almost at the same time: “Yes.”

They lay down, one on each side.

The light turned off, and the room fell into silence.

A few seconds later, Bai Zixin suddenly mumbled: “…Actually, I don’t completely dislike it…”

Ye Yibai: “Hm?”

She buried herself under the blanket and whispered: “You two are so warm, it feels a little like hot water bottles.”

Gao Muting: “…” That reason was really subtle.

Ye Yibai couldn’t help but laugh softly. His voice leaned close to her ear, whispering: “Don’t worry, we won’t do anything to you, unless—you take the first step.”

Bai Zixin: “No way!” At least… probably not. After all, these two men were really tempting. On this planet, any one of them placed on Earth could debut as a star right away.

She immediately pulled the blanket over her entire head, even her ears turning red, as if burned by fire.

Then she turned over, wanting to face Ye Yibai on her side, but without noticing, her whole body naturally hugged him—her cheek brushed against his chest, the blanket pressed her hand down, and it became even harder for her to pull away.

“Uhh… sorry… I didn’t mean to…”

Ye Yibai laughed lowly, gently wrapping his arm around her. His tone was so tender it could melt a heart: “I know. Then just hold me and sleep, Xinxin.”

On the other side, Gao Muting’s entire face instantly turned icy cold. His eyes darkened as he stared at that sweet, sticky picture of the two holding each other so tightly.

His voice came out sharp: “So you’ve decided to choose him tonight?”

Bai Zixin: “Huh?”

Gao Muting’s voice dropped, almost gritting his teeth: “Then why don’t you turn over and hug me?”

Bai Zixin froze completely: “I… I didn’t mean it… I just rolled over and then…”

Ye Yibai still kept his gentle smile, but his tone sounded innocent: “She threw herself at me just now. I didn’t force her, right?”

Gao Muting sneered: “Hypocrite.”

Ye Yibai: “Violent maniac.”

The air quickly heated up.

Bai Zixin curled into a small ball under the blanket. Seeing the tension between them grow stronger, she quickly made her move.

“Wait, wait, wait—don’t fight!” She sat up, using both hands to cover each of their mouths, and said with frustration: “I’m under so much pressure right now… I told you, today I just want to sleep… ugh…”

Her eyes turned red with grievance. She pulled the blanket up to cover her nose, looking like a pitiful little hamster woken up too early.

Seeing the redness at the corner of her eyes, Gao Muting’s breath caught. His voice sank as he sighed: “…Fine, I won’t fight.”

Ye Yibai also showed an apologetic smile and spoke softly: “Alright, we won’t argue anymore. Go to sleep.”

Only then did Bai Zixin shrink back under the covers with satisfaction: “Good night~ my hot water bottles.”

The lights went out again.

That night, the three of them lay side by side, no one speaking.

But Bai Zixin secretly reached out to hold the hand on her left, then touched the sleeve on her right. Before sleep, she giggled and murmured:

“Mm… actually, you two are pretty cute like this.”

In that moment, the two incredibly outstanding men—

Both had their hearts race for the same girl.

The night grew deep, and inside the bedroom, only the faint hum of the thermostat could be heard.
