Xiao Xiao nodded, "I know, that's exactly why they arranged for us to get married."
Only then did she realize that this guy had pulled her into his embrace, his hands possessively circling her waist, and their position resembled that of lovers.
Quickly, she placed both hands on his chest, attempting to push herself up. "Let me go, I’m going to bed."
Yin Shaojie put on a pitiful expression, gazing at her. "Xiao Xiao, do you remember when we were younger? We used to sleep together all the time."
"Of course I remember. So what?" She suspected there was something ulterior behind his sudden mention of the past.
Yin Shaojie gestured toward the sofa. "This sofa is comfortable enough to lie on, but it’s not the best for sleeping. Can you really bear to let me suffer from insomnia? If so, I won’t be able to attend class tomorrow."
Xiao Xiao shot him a skeptical glance. Was he trying to play the sentimental card?
Nevertheless, she glanced at the sofa. He had a point. If she were forced to sleep there every night, she would indeed find it uncomfortable, though it might be bearable occasionally when tired.
"Alright, alright! You can come to bed, happy now?" Xiao Xiao finally softened.
"You’re so kind, my dear wife!" Yin Shaojie triumphantly wrapped his arms around her waist, his handsome face leaning in to plant a kiss on her cheek.
Xiao Xiao wrinkled her nose in distaste and wiped her cheek with the back of her hand. Suddenly, she remembered something and pointed at him, speaking in a serious tone. "But you need to understand one thing first. The bedroom is my territory. In my domain, you have to listen to me. Got it?"
Yin Shaojie made an exaggerated OK gesture at her and finally released her from his lap, picking up a pillow and leading her toward the bedroom.
"My wife, let’s go sleep now!" he said, grinning.
Xiao Xiao elbowed his chest, feigning annoyance. "Who wants to sleep with you? We’re sleeping separately!"
If the bed in the bedroom wasn’t quite spacious, she definitely wouldn’t be sharing it. But since it was, there was enough room for both of them.
"Alright, alright, we’ll sleep separately. Just don’t surprise attack me in the middle of the night. I’m afraid you won’t be able to resist my beauty and might..."
"Ugh! If you say that again, get out!"
Yin Shaojie wisely stopped talking, smiling as he led her into the room and shut the door.
…
The following morning.
Clear sunlight streamed through the window.
Xiao Xiao had slept soundly, snuggling against the object in her arms, rubbing her face against it, leaving a bit of drool behind.
As she was drifting into a deep sleep, someone pushed her and called, "Wake up, Xiao Xiao! Wake up!"
"Ugh, so annoying, stop bothering me!" Xiao Xiao irritably swatted at the intruding hand, unwilling to let anyone disturb her rest.
"Hmph, if you don’t wake up now, I’m going to..." The voice came closer to her ear, whispering with a mischievous tone. The warm breath against her ear made her feel ticklish.
"Stop it, go away..."
Yin Shaojie, both amused and exasperated, glared at her. "That’s something I should be saying, right? Xiao Xiao, get up, you’re going to be late for class!"
Class...
Xiao Xiao, still in a daze, suddenly remembered—she had returned to the country and transferred to Shangde High School... Then, a handsome face flashed through her mind: Lu Yichen's striking features.
She instantly snapped awake, her eyes opening wide. "Oh right, I have to go to school today!" To see Lu Yichen!
The thought of the handsome boy made her sleepiness vanish in an instant. Stretching with half-closed eyes, she turned to look at the person beside her.
