My head hurts.

As soon as Xie Yan's hazy consciousness returned, her first thought was a headache.

She was so engrossed in drinking yesterday that she completely forgot about the consequences of a hangover the next day.

The curtains were drawn tightly shut, making the room dark and completely devoid of light.

I don't even know what time it is, or if it's even dawn yet.

Xie Yan frowned, feeling a throbbing pain in her temples.

My throat is also a bit dry and sore, and it feels burning.

want to drink water.

After clearing her head for a while, Xie Yan finally got up to get some water.

But as soon as she raised her arm, she felt something was wrong.

Her arms and legs were draped over something, held tightly.

Xie Yan was unbearably hot last night, and even after kicking off all the blankets, she was still hot.

She dreamed that she found a large block of ice in the desert, and holding it felt incredibly cool and comfortable.

A bad premonition arises spontaneously.

Xie Yan's mind was a mess; the environment was too dark to see clearly, so she tried to reach out to confirm.

The warm little hands touched it up and down a couple of times, like touching thin muscle texture. The texture was delicate and slightly cool, like jade, and it felt very comfortable.

"Um......"

A sticky, nasal voice sounded beside my pillow, like the whimpering of some small animal.

Shen Yan didn't wake up, but Xie Yan was fully awake!

Holy crap, what happened?! What happened last night?!

As her eyes gradually adjusted to the dim environment, Xie Yan finally managed to take a closer look at herself.

The blanket was kicked to her feet, and she clung to Shen Yan tightly like an octopus, drawing comforting coolness from him.

Shen Yan was sleeping soundly and didn't wake up even when Xie Yan touched him twice.

His hand was also on Xie Yan's waist. The boy hummed twice and then buried his head in Xie Yan's neck, his breathing steady and long.

Xie Yan felt a tingling sensation on her neck and dared not move, afraid of waking Shen Yan.

She frantically screamed at the system in her mind, "[Ahhhhhhh!! Help!! What did I do last night!! Why did I sleep with Shen Yan in my arms!!?]"

The system's voice sounded detached, as if it had seen through the illusions of the world: "I don't know. I was forcibly logged off because of a private situation. Don't you know what you did?"

Xie Yan froze. [What private setting? What is a private setting?! I don't remember!!!]

[Don't get agitated. Our program is designed to automatically log you off if it detects a man and woman in bed together. It might not actually have happened. Try to recall what happened.]

Upon hearing this, Xie Yan forcibly suppressed her chaotic thoughts and began to recall, but her memory was fragmented, and she couldn't remember anything that happened after drinking at the dinner table.

I only remember dreaming last night about looking for ice cubes, hugging ice cubes, and eating a lot of ice cream, which was very thirst-quenching.

......

Wait a moment.

Eating ice cream.

No way.

Holy crap, Xie Yan, Xie Yan, are you really crazy and craving men?!

He's still a child!

Xie Yan couldn't lie still any longer; she jumped up and was about to rush out of bed.

As a result, he tumbled and fell to the ground.

My legs are numb.

Tie Q.

"......elder sister?"

The boy behind him had a hoarse voice. He rubbed his eyes and looked over, then was startled. He immediately jumped off the bed and squatted down next to Xie Yan.

"How did you fall? Does it hurt?"

His strong arms easily lifted Xie Yan back onto the bed from the floor.

"Stop, stop, stop! It's numb, it ...! Don't move, don't move!!"

Xie Yan's entire left leg looked like a jumbled mess of static on an old TV with no signal, and touching it was incredibly painful.

She sat on the edge of the bed, revealing a mask of pain. The next second, the curtains were suddenly pulled open, and the bright light made her squint.

Shen Yan drew back the curtains and quickly walked back, then knelt down to check Xie Yan's knees.

It's a little red.

He had just woken up from his sleep, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes were deep, and his aura was very different from usual.

Most importantly, the boy was only wearing a white vest on his upper body, and his body, which he never showed to outsiders, was now completely exposed.

Aside from the scars on his shoulders and arms, one can see that his thin muscle lines are very smooth and beautiful, with well-proportioned bones and flesh, making one's blood boil.

Xie Yan's ears involuntarily burned when she thought about how she had just touched Shen Yan's abs twice.

“…Shen Yan, we yesterday…”

As if it were something extremely difficult to say, Xie Yan gritted her teeth and said in one breath, "Nothing happened between us last night, right?"

Upon hearing this, the boy squatting on the ground raised his head. A strange emotion flashed across his clear, black-and-white eyes. He pursed his lips, his voice hoarse and low.

"If my sister says it's nothing, then it's nothing."

These words almost made Xie Yan think she was some heartless scumbag who would pull up his pants and leave without a second thought.

Shen Yan got up, intending to get Xie Yan some ointment to apply to her knees.

The tiny boy, who had crouched down, stood up incredibly tall, like a spring rising from the ground.

From the angle from which Xie Yan was sitting on the edge of the bed, she could just see the bite marks on Shen Yan's neck.

"wait!"

Xie Yan was shocked and grabbed Shen Yan's arm tightly. "What happened to your neck?!"

Shen Yan turned around, his eyes hesitant and filled with resentment.

It was only then that Xie Yan noticed that he also had a wound on his lip, which was clearly from being bitten.

Shen Yan remained silent, only pursing his lips as he looked at Xie Yan.

Xie Yan's scalp was practically about to explode.

No wonder.

No wonder she couldn't bite into that ice cream in her dream last night. She tried for ages but couldn't get a bite out and could only lick it.

……God.

Kill her.

Some people may appear to be alive, but they have actually been gone for a while.

Finally, the boy spoke, lowering his eyes and letting out a soft sigh.

"You were drunk last night, so I put you on the bed. Later you said you were hot, so you clung to me and wouldn't let me leave, and then—"

"Stop, no need to say anything more."

Xie Yan lowered her head, covered her face, and just wanted to find a place to smash her head against and die.

I had only ever heard that you should never go to the toilet in your dream, or you'll wet the bed.

I never imagined that she would be dreaming of eating a popsicle, but instead of a person, she was eating a person.

He's still an eighteen-year-old boy.

Xie Yan wanted to call the police after hearing this; it was blatant indecent assault!

Shen Yan wanted to say something more, but suddenly his expression changed, "Sister, you're having a nosebleed—!!"

------

More than half an hour later, Xie Yan finally calmed down.

She took a shower, changed her clothes, and felt much clearer-headed.

She just checked with the system again.

The system was forced offline after Shen Yan lay down on the bed.

And how did Shen Yan end up in bed?

According to the system, it was indeed Xie Yan who was attracted by Shen Yan's cool body temperature and clung to him tightly. She was as strong as an ox and dragged him up by force.

Xie Yan was heartbroken.

Her hair was still damp when she came out of the bathroom, while Shen Yan was busy in the kitchen.

Xie Yan was comfortable after not being covered by a blanket all night, but Shen Yan caught a cold.

His nose was red, and he brought out a bowl of soup.

"Sister, have some more hangover soup. I made it with the leftover ingredients from yesterday."

The soup was clear and bright, steaming hot, showing that it was made with great care.

Xie Yan absentmindedly rummaged through the bowl with her spoon. "The rest? Did I drink it yesterday too? I was so drunk, how could I possibly drink anything?"

Shen Yan nodded with his head down and hummed in agreement.

There was indeed an accident last night. He didn't expect that Xie Yan would unconsciously hug him when he was about to get up and leave.

He was burning with desire from Xie Yan's kisses, and not knowing what to do, he lay stiffly like a corpse all night, finally calming down and falling asleep at dawn.

Xie Yan was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't notice his expression; her tone was somewhat slow.

"Was last night your...first kiss?"

"No."

Before Xie Yan could even breathe a sigh of relief, she heard him say again, "Didn't you kiss me awake at the hotel last time?"

Xie Yan's mind went blank for a moment, then she retorted loudly, "That was CPR last time! It was to save you! It wasn't a kiss!"

"...Oh, okay."

The boy's face was full of resignation, as if he would agree to whatever anyone said.

Xie Yan felt extremely powerless.

Judging from this situation, Shen Yan is probably still clueless, has never had a girlfriend, and doesn't understand love at all.

He used all his intelligence on his grades and never thought about things between men and women; he couldn't even tell if someone had a first kiss.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt like she wasn't even human.

How could you act drunk and take advantage of Shen Yan!

Even though Xie Yan knew that Shen Yan wasn't as innocent and harmless as he seemed on the surface, she still thought he was quite well-behaved so far, especially since she really felt sorry for him now.

Xie Yan really has a headache.

"It's okay, sister. You were drunk yesterday. Just don't kick me out. I didn't mean to sleep in your bed. I'm fine."

The boy couldn't help but sneeze as soon as he finished speaking, clearly having caught a cold from being chilled the night before.

After a long silence, Xie Yan sighed and said with a serious expression, "Shen Yan, I'm asking you, do you know what a kiss means?"

The boy blinked his teary eyes and nodded somewhat blankly. "I know. If I really like someone, I'll want to kiss them."

"I kissed you yesterday, and I even bit... I bit you and hurt you. Aren't you angry?"

The two didn't get up until noon. As soon as Shen Yan woke up, he went to cook soup for her. He didn't seem angry at all about being taken advantage of. Besides, his neck and lips were bitten raw, so his reaction was really too mild.

"Don't be angry."

Shen Yan sniffed, his eyes and the tip of his nose flushed pink, and he raised his eyebrows to look at Xie Yan.

"Because I like my older sister."

The boy openly and frankly uttered words that sounded like a confession.

On an ordinary afternoon, the boy bluntly expressed his feelings without any preamble or warning, like a rose with thorns, piercing straight to the heart.

dong dong.

dong dong.

Xie Yan felt her heart race again, abnormally fast, especially when she met Shen Yan's eyes, which seemed to be filled with honey, and she couldn't look away.

She has been experiencing this uncontrollable heartbeat frequently lately, which feels very unfamiliar to her.

After a long while, she finally heard her own voice, sounding somewhat unsteady, "...Do you know what you're saying?"

"I know."

The boy looked serious, and his eyes reflected only Xie Yan.

"Sister, I like you."

The strange feeling in the boy's chest hadn't stopped for a moment since last night.

Especially after being held tightly by Xie Yan last night, licked and nibbled, Shen Yan actually felt a sense of security he had never felt before.

He used to only know how to give light, fleeting kisses, but last night he suddenly opened the door to a whole new world.

Xie Yan's mind went blank for several seconds before she finally regained her composure.

Her first thought was that she was ten years older than Shen Yan in terms of mental age, so the two of them weren't really suitable to be together.

But my second thought was that Shen Yan was a character in the story, with his own destiny, and he shouldn't like her.

The third thought was, "This is outrageous! She was actually seriously considering this!"

She is crazy!

Was she really seduced and bewitched by Shen Yan's good looks?

Or perhaps the current atmosphere is too gentle and beautiful, which led her to have such outrageous thoughts?

I've never had a boyfriend in my previous 28 years of life, it seems I really should find one, otherwise I'm prone to making mistakes.

Seeing Xie Yan remain silent, the light in Shen Yan's eyes dimmed, but he still smiled and said, "Sister, I was just joking, don't take it to heart."

But both of them knew perfectly well that he was not joking.

Shen Yan got up and went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes, leaving Xie Yan alone in the living room, looking dazed.

Drinking leads to trouble; I should have known better than to drink yesterday.

After a while, Shen Yan came over, looking as usual, as if nothing had happened, and resumed her usual spoiled manner.

"I think I have a cold, and I feel a bit unwell."

Xie Yan was taken aback. "You have a cold? Should I drink some Banlangen (a traditional Chinese medicine)? Or some cold medicine?"

Shen Yan pursed his lips. "I've been having a bit of a headache lately, and I'd like to go to the hospital for a full physical exam."

Headache?

Xie Yan immediately thought of Shen Yan's physical condition. She had thought he was in good spirits lately, but headaches are a sensitive issue, so she definitely needed to get him checked out.

"Okay, then let's schedule a time for you to get checked out. Do you need me to come with you?"

"need."

The boy nodded and waved his phone. "I've made an appointment for you too. We'll go for the check-up together tomorrow."

Xie Yan was stunned. "Why are you scheduling a medical check-up for me? I'm perfectly fine and not sick. I don't want to do it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan gripped his phone tightly, his lips turning pale. "It's just a routine check-up, to put your mind at ease. Consider it compensation, is that not okay?"

With things already said to this extent, what else could Xie Yan do?

Then go ahead.

"Okay, then I'll get a checkup too."

Shen Yan was finally satisfied.

They get up late, so they eat late too.

Xie Yan had a hangover and didn't have much of an appetite, so Shen Yan made some light noodles, and the two of them ate a little.

Although Shen Yan acted as innocent and cute as before, Xie Yan still lowered her head and dared not look him in the eye.

There was an indescribable awkwardness in the atmosphere.

She still made a mistake, and Xie Yan felt extremely guilty.

After finishing her meal, Xie Yan fled into the study and closed the door, finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

The phone showed several unread messages. Xie Yan opened it and found that one of them was from Xie Qingyu.

"Call me back when you wake up."

The message was sent around 10 a.m., when Xie Yan was indeed still asleep.

Xie Yan looked at the door panel, which wasn't very soundproof, but still didn't make a phone call. Instead, she thought of Xie Qingyu in her mind.

I woke up, didn't check my phone, and just saw your message. What's up?

After a long silence, Xie Qingyu's voice finally rang out softly, "You were alright last night, weren't you? He didn't bully you, did he?"

Yesterday, he saw Xie Yan nestled so intimately in Shen Yan's arms, letting him hold her, and that she was actually living with Shen Yan. He was somewhat shocked and couldn't accept it. But because of the system's guarantee, he turned around and left in a daze.

But when he got home, he regretted it a little. Although Shen Yan wouldn't hurt Xie Yan, there was no guarantee he wouldn't do something else.

He should have kicked Shen Yan out.

It was only then that Xie Yan learned that Xie Qingyu had actually come over yesterday.

She had a complete blackout and had no recollection of Xie Qingyu coming yesterday.

As for his question about whether Shen Yan had bullied him...

It seems like I was the one bullying Shen Yan, biting him like that.

Sigh, I guess I'm getting old and starting to feel thirsty.

Xie Yan sighed.

"Qingyu, are there any mature women in your company who could introduce me to someone? I want to be in a relationship."
