"What about you?"

Xia Xiyao asked back.

"I can't help it!"

Rong Xiyi pouted, feeling aggrieved, "Who told me to like this jerk?"

Then, Rong Xiyi added, "Actually, aside from two-timing, Xu Lin is pretty great, and he's really nice to me."

"I think so too..."

Xia Xiyao murmured.

"Yaoyao, do you have a guy you like?"

"Not yet..."

Xia Xiyao thought of Xu Lin and quickly shook her head, knowing she had to hold back some feelings.

Xia Xiyao said, "I don't think there's any rush to find a boyfriend."

Rong Xiyi: "I don't think there's a rush either. When you do find a boyfriend, make sure he's a great one! Like, tall, handsome, treats you well, and is really loyal!"

"We'll see about that later; I'm not in a hurry."

Xia Xiyao said, "Besides, I'm only eighteen; I just had my birthday in August!"

"Yaoyao, I'm a few months older than you; mine's in April."

Xia Xiyao had just had her birthday in mid-August, only turned eighteen four months ago.

"Yaoyao, call me sister quickly!"

"No way, you go call your brother!"

"Nope, Xu Lin's a big jerk!"

The two girls started to playfully bicker.

After about ten minutes, Xia Xiyao yawned, "Xiyan, let's sleep, I'm tired."

"Mm-hmm, let's sleep."

Xia Xiyao nodded as well, and before long, she was asleep.

But Rong Xiyi didn't fall asleep immediately; she called Xia Xiyao's name softly twice, finding she had fallen asleep so quickly.

Rong Xiyi wanted to sleep too, but after several minutes, she still couldn't.

Rong Xiyi simply got up quietly and left the room, going back to the master bedroom.

Xu Lin had been asleep for quite a while by then.

Actually, Xu Lin hadn't touched Rong Xiyi for several days.

So after Rong Xiyi returned, she lifted the quilt, sat on Xu Lin's body, bent down, and kissed him on the lips.

The movement, not too big nor too small, woke Xu Lin up.

"What time is it, and you're still not asleep?"

Xu Lin rubbed his eyes and glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table.

Half-past midnight.

"Don't sleep, you haven't touched me all week!"

"You little girl, just now you were sulking, asking me to coax you, and now you're waking me up in the middle of the night, can you be a bit more reasonable?"

"I asked you to coax so you did? You could be more assertive, I wouldn't mind."

Rong Xiyi blushed slightly and muttered.

"Saying one thing but meaning another, huh?"

"Hmph!"

Rong Xiyi said nothing.

"Next time you try this trick on me, you're done for!"

Xu Lin declared, "You don't cry tonight, it's my loss!"

Rong Xiyi: "If I cry, I'm a puppy!"

Xu Lin laughed, "Forget the puppy, let's make another bet. If you cry, when we're in bed, you call me daddy."

"No way, who does that?"

"If you don't, I'm going back to sleep."

"Xu Lin!"

"Bet or not?"

"Bet, but if I don't cry, you have to call me sister!"

"That's easy? I'll call you!"

Xu Lin thought he couldn't lose?

"Hmph!"

Xu Lin scoffed lightly, not taking it seriously, "You'll definitely call me daddy!"

By around two in the morning, Rong Xiyi was directly made to cry by him.

If it were Ning Yuhuan crying, Xu Lin would comfort her because he feels heartbroken seeing the senior cry, it's pitiful.

But Rong Xiyi was quite stubborn, this girl even defiantly provoked him, Xu Lin couldn't hold back.

So he went all out.

At four o'clock, they finally stopped the "battle."

"Xu Lin, you bullied me!" Rong Xiyi's eyes were red, clearly having been bullied quite a bit by Xu Lin tonight.

"Can't blame me, who told you to provoke me?"

Xu Lin pulled the quilt over them; he couldn't be bothered to shower.

Quite a wild time they had this time, he thought.

"Xu Lin, you're such a big bully, just bullying me!"

"If you didn't provoke me, would I bully you?"

"Anyway, you're just a bully!"

"Call me daddy!"

"Daddy!"

Rong Xiyi reflexively obliged.

"Good girl!"

"Big bully!"

"Eh, let's sleep."

"Mm-hmm."

Rong Xiyi snuggled into Xu Lin's arms, exhausted, falling asleep in no time.

Xu Lin, however, couldn't fall asleep right away; he felt a bit thirsty, thought to get up for water, and also use the bathroom.

"Forget it, may as well shower too!"

Xu Lin went out without even putting clothes on.

Besides, at four a.m., who else would be moving around in the house?

The master bedroom had a bathroom, but with Rong Xiyi sleeping, Xu Lin didn't want to disturb her here.

But just as Xu Lin opened the door, Xia Xiyao, who had been eavesdropping outside, was startled, falling back.

In a yelp, Xia Xiyao instinctively reached out her right hand.

Xu Lin grabbed her hand, preventing her from falling to the ground.

Turns out, tonight Xu Lin and Xiyi's sounds were too loud; even with the door closed for soundproofing, it wasn't enough.

Xia Xiyao heard noises from inside, like Rong Xiyi's crying, and then Xu Lin's laughing.

She seemed to imagine such a scene: a wicked devil imposing his will on a weak human girl.

But Xia Xiyao ended up inserting herself into that image, as if she were that girl.

Right?

Unable to sleep, she quietly came to the master bedroom door to listen as she went to the bathroom.

She was just curious, intending to listen a bit before going back.

At that moment, there happened to be silence, then Xu Lin opened the door.

At that moment.

Xu Lin grabbed her hand, pulling Xia Xiyao up.

What was Xia Xiyao doing here?

Clearly, it wasn't just passing by; this girl was here to eavesdrop, and the bathroom wasn't even on this side; she didn't need to pass by here to use it.
