He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

"elder sister……"

He knew she wasn't asleep.

"Are you angry? Then I promise I won't say it again..."

Xu Zuo waited for a while, but seeing that Qu Yi didn't react at all, he began to wonder if she was really asleep.

He tentatively turned his wrist, and the next second, he clasped her fingers together.

The first time their fingers intertwined, he was happy, but he also had to carefully observe her reaction.

I thought she was really asleep, but then I suddenly felt the force of her fingers gripping me tightly.

Looking up, I met her eyes. Her gaze was gentle and soft, perhaps because she had been drinking and was sleepy. Instead of her usual coldness, she looked more tender.

Did she just respond?!

That's right!

His eyes sparkled as he stared at her. Just as Qu Yi was about to look away, he leaned in closer.

He gave her a quick kiss on the forehead.

After a long silence, Qu Yi said, "Go back to sleep."

Xu Zuo started acting like a spoiled child: "No, I want to stay here."

The implied meaning is: "Don't push your luck."

Xu Zuo: "I'll just sit here, really."

After a while, Qu Yi withdrew her hand and turned around: "Whatever."

While she was still half asleep, Qu Yi felt someone grab her hand again, holding it tightly. She tried to move but couldn't break free, so she simply let it go.

The next morning, Qu Yi didn't wake up naturally; she was awakened by a woman's scream.

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Mrs. Qu standing at the bedroom door.

Qu's mother stared in disbelief at herself and Xu Zuo, who was lying on the side.

Qu Yi nudged the sleeping god: "Xu Zuo, get up."

Xu Zuo grumbled in dissatisfaction and turned to lie down in a different position: "Ugh... I'll sleep a little longer, okay? Be good, don't bother me."

Qu Yi: "..."

Qu's mother: Heh.

Half an hour later.

Qu Yi sat on the sofa yawning, and Xu Zuo quickly asked in a low voice, "After this is over, why don't you take a nap..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Qu Ma's cough made Xu Zuo sit up straight instantly.

"Tell me, what happened?" Qu's mother looked at her daughter.

"As you see it."

Qu's mother glanced at Xu Zuo, only to see Xu Zuo smiling broadly and nodding frantically.

Qu's mother: "..."

Could this child have been lured away by her own daughter? She seems so naive.

Xu Zuo was sent to the kitchen to cook noodles by Qu Yi, while she stayed behind to talk to her mother.

"How did you end up with...Xiao Zuo..."

"He's fine."

"Is this a good question? You're several years younger than me."

Is this a problem?

"........."

Qu's mother took a deep breath: "He's still in college, what if he meets someone better later? You child, sigh..."

Qu Yi rested her chin on her hand and glanced at Xu Zuo's busy figure in the kitchen: "He won't."

Qu's mother wanted to say a lot, but seeing her daughter's nonchalant expression, she swallowed it all back, finally settling on one sentence:

"You decide what to do, but I will still tell your Aunt Fang about this."

"Ah."

When Xu Zuo brought out the noodles, Aunt Qu had already left. He looked around in confusion and asked, "Where's Auntie?"

Qu Yi: "He's gone."

Xu Zuo asked somewhat anxiously, "Did she say something?"

Qu Yi leaned against the sofa armrest, tilted her head, and said, "Mmm..."

This sight made Xu Zuo's heart leap into his throat.

She said we weren't a good match and asked me to consider breaking up.

Under Xu Zuo's tense gaze, Qu Yi continued, "I agree."

Xu Zuo nearly dropped the bowl in his hand; his throat was extremely dry: "You... you agreed?"

"You didn't even ask me, how can you break up with me? I don't agree!"

He slammed the bowl down on the table with a loud thud, then turned and stared intently at her.

Qu Yi looked at him for a while, and then her red lips curved into a happy smile.

"I'm teasing you."

Xu Zuo was a little stunned for a moment: "Not break up?"

Qu Yi shook his head.

Xu Zuo's mood fluctuated wildly. After calming down, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, appearing somewhat long and narrow.

"You lied to me?"

Before Qu Yi could even react, she was tackled onto the soft sofa.

A sharp pain shot through her collarbone. She tried to push his head away, but failed.

The stinging sensation lasted only a dozen seconds, after which I felt something wet licking me.

"Will you lie to me again?" Xu Zuo looked at his "masterpiece" with satisfaction, propping himself up to look down at her.

"It hurts a little..." Qu Yi answered irrelevantly, touching the spot where she had been bitten with her fingers, her brows furrowing slightly. For some reason, Xu Zuo always felt a sense of pity when he looked at her.

"Whoosh!"

Qu Yi was the only one left in the living room.

She glanced at the closed bathroom door, puzzled.

What's going on here?

"Woof woof woof!" Maybe I was just imagining things!

[What are you imagining?]

"Woof woof!" Hehe~
