As Bai Yan stared down at the girl with a dissatisfied look on her face before him, the blazing lust that had consumed him was instantly doused away as if a bucket of cold water had been poured all over him.

He had lost all interest.

He pulled the bedsheet over Ji Xiaonian in one swift motion and got off the bed.

Noticing that Bai Yan had stood up, Ji Xiaonian hurriedly sat up and shouted, “Brother Yan…”

Bai Yan was in the nude as he faced his back towards her. Perhaps due to his previous nude exposure to Ji Xiaonian, Bai Yan was unfazed despite being stark naked before her.

With his back still facing her, he muttered in a low voice, “Go to sleep. I’m going to hit the showers.”

“Huh?” A disappointed expression appeared on Ji Xiaonian’s face. “What’s with the sudden shower? We were already…”

‘I can’t take this anymore.’

Ji Xiaonian was interrupted abruptly before she had finished speaking. “Ji Xiaonian, stop assuming that you know everything! In truth, you know nothing! So, could you drop the act?”

Once his voice subsided, Bai Yan immediately entered the showers and cruelly slammed the door shut.

Ji Xiaonian was left confused as she lay down on the bed.

‘What was that?!’

‘We were practically burning with passion earlier, and it was clear that he wanted to do it too. So, why did he suddenly stop?’

‘Did I make him lose interest when I mentioned that I wanted to be on the top instead?’

‘But didn’t I already agree to let him take the top?’

Ji Xiaonian was unwilling to let the opportunity slip away. While covering her womanly parts with random clothing, she then ran to the shower and knocked on the door, “Brother Yan…”

“What?” The man’s indifferent tone was mixed with patters of the flowing water.

“C-Can I… Shower with you?”

Although it was a shameless request, Bai Yan had already seen her naked, so she felt that she no longer needed to act reserved.

After all, if she were to shy away now, other women might steal him from her.

“You can shower once I’m done.”

‘I’ll probably die from restraining myself if she enters right now.’

‘Wait, restrain? Would I have pounced on her otherwise?’

‘Well, I’d like to do it, but…’

Nobody knew that, after 28 years of abstinence, Bai Yan was clueless as to how he should lay his hands on a woman.

He was worried that he might give Ji Xiaonian an awful experience, and as a result, he dared not mess around with her.

All for the sake of preserving her wonderful illusion of fornicating.

Realizing that Bai Yan was never going to open the door, Ji Xiaonian dejectedly made her way back to bed.

Ji Xiaonian sat on the bed and stared at the bathroom as her mind wandered elsewhere.

She regretted her decision. Had she had known that it would spoil his mood, she would have kept quiet. However, what is done is done, and what she worried about was whether Bai Yan would do it with her again.

‘Yeah, he probably doesn’t want to do it anymore. Otherwise, why would he lock himself in the bathroom?’

Ji Xiaonian had no idea how long she had waited for Bai Yan to finish showering, but somehow, she had fallen asleep while she waited.

By the time Bai Yan had finished showering, he had already been in the shower for over an hour.

With a towel wrapped around his waist, Bai Yan made his way out. Upon noticing the girl who was sleeping like a log and had both her arms and legs spread wide open, Bai Yan shook his head helplessly while he made his way over and tucked her into the bedsheets. He did not make a fuss, and once he was finished, he got onto the bed and slept beside her.

Naturally, he was unable to sleep, and thus, he observed the sleeping Ji Xiaonian instead.

He remembered a scene from nineteen years ago, back when Ji Xiaonian was carried out of the maternity ward by the doctors. She was only a wee little thing back then, but even so, her wails had caused massive headaches.

‘How did she grow so much in just a blink of an eye?’

‘Sure, she might look much prettier now, but how can she be less and less reserved as she grows up? Why on earth is she stuffing her mind with all sorts of nonsense?’

Worse still, at times, Bai Yan had even preferred her unreserved behaviors.

He enjoyed having her stir up his carnal desires, and he enjoyed her throwing herself at him for no apparent reason.

Bai Yan shook his head vigorously. ‘Crap, I’m done for. I’ve been contaminated by her.’

Despite that, there was also a part of Bai Yan that wished for Ji Xiaonian to poison him even further.

He grabbed his phone from the desk beside the bed and aimed it directly at her sleeping face. After taking a good-looking picture of her, he then lightly lied back down in bed. With that, he began to torturously past the night as he held down the burning lust that consumed him.

…

Morning, the next day.

The moment Ji Xiaonian woke up, she was immediately greeted with the sight of a man lying on the sofa beside the bed.

The man was dressed sharply, and there was a certain vigor to him as he leisurely slouched on the sofa. Moreover, the man was staring straight at her without averting his gaze at all.

Ji Xiaonian exchanged gazes with him, and with a wink, she cutely cried out, “Brother Yan~”

“Rise and shine, I’ll be fetching you to school.”

Bai Yan stood up, and while dodging her gaze, he made his way to the window.

Ji Xiaonian sluggishly got up while she tried to remember the events of the previous night.

‘I don’t think anything happened, right?’

‘I remembered him taking a long shower, and I think I fell asleep before he was done.’

‘When I woke up, he was already dressed smartly and sitting on the sofa beside the bed.’

Ji Xiaonian mentally chided herself, ‘How can I be so stupid? It was the perfect scenario last night, how could I have gone to sleep that early?’

‘What if Bai Yan wanted to do it again when he exited the showers? Did he cancel his plans once he saw me asleep?’

Ji Xiaonian was seething with self-loathing. She viciously slapped herself, but due to the excessive force she used, she cried out in pain, “Ahh!”

Upon hearing her shout, Bai Yan immediately turned around to look at her.

Ji Xiaonian had a pitiful expression on her face as she whimpered, “I accidentally slapped myself. It hurts.”

“…”

Bai Yan stared at her in dumbfounded surprise. He had never met a girl as dumb as the one before him.

He lifted his hand to look at his watch and realized that it was almost time for his video conference.

As such, he was forced to grab Ji Xiaonian’s dress and haphazardly put it on her.

Since Ji Xiaonian was still naked, she subconsciously covered her chest when she saw Bai Yan making his way over. She shyly giggled at him. “I… I…”

“You’re embarrassed?” Bai Yan stared at her while asking the question.

Ji Xiaonian recalled how honest they had acted the night before, where they had hugged and fondled one another. Although they did not go all the way, she still counted it as Bai Yan bedding her. After all, they have already shared a bed!

She spread her arms wide with a giggle as Bai Yan helped her with her clothes. “I’m not. After all, you gave me showers every day back when I was younger. You’ve already seen everything I could show, plus, I’ve also seen your body as a whole now. It’s not a big deal.”

Bai Yan ignored her as he continued putting on her clothes.

Seeing how serious Bai Yan was acting, Ji Xiaonian could not resist herself from extending her hand and fondling his body.

Unexpectedly, however, Bai Yan had responded to her actions with a slap. “Be obedient. Mess around one more time and you’ll be putting on the clothes yourself.”

“Okay.”

Ji Xiaonian dejectedly retracted her hand. While staring at Bai Yan’s handsome features, she then giggled and stated, “Bai Yan… Are we considered as boyfriend and girlfriend now?”

“Nope.”

After putting on her clothes, he then bent over to help her put on her shoes.

The color drained from Ji Xiaonian’s face as she exclaimed, “Nope?! Why not? Then what do I need to do to make you consider us a couple?”

“It only counts once we’ve done ‘it’.”

“Huh? Then should we do it now?”

“…”

He rose to his feet after helping her with the shoes. He towered above her and pinched her cheeks hard. “Do you still have a sense of shame?”
