After that day, Xi Chenzhou never rolled a roll again at night.

Make the most of every minute during the day, maximizing efficiency.

I turn off my computer promptly at 9 p.m.

Lin Xuechun was lying on the bed scrolling through her phone after taking a shower when she heard him close his laptop. She looked up at him and said, "I didn't say you couldn't study. Just don't always sneak around studying in the middle of the night, or I'll get nervous watching you."

"I'm not studying anymore, honey. I need to spend more time with you." Xi Chenzhou had already showered, turned off the computer, and lay down on the bed. He took the phone from Lin Xuechun's hand and placed it on the bedside table. "Go to sleep."

"I'm not sleepy yet." Lin Xuechun felt like she'd tricked herself; he wouldn't study anymore, and he wouldn't let her play either. She was both amused and exasperated.

"I want to play a little longer, I can't sleep..." she mumbled, pouting her red lips, reaching for her phone on the bedside table. Xi Chenzhou pulled her hand back and pressed it into the blanket, their fingers intertwined. "If you can't sleep, play with me."

"don't want."

"Sweetie. I promise it'll be more fun than your phone."

Xi Chenzhou reached out with his other hand, touched the switch of the bedside lamp, and turned it off with a snap.

The room instantly went dark, with only a sliver of light leaking through the gap in the curtains.

"Bad guy."

In the dim light, Lin Xuechun muttered something indignantly and turned her back to him.

Just as she adjusted her posture, an arm wrapped around her waist, its palm pressed against the indentation, its fingertips tightening, pulling her backward.

"Take your claws off." Lin Xuechun snorted and lightly kicked back with her foot, but she fell right into someone's trap. Her slender leg was instantly suppressed by the long leg and she couldn't move at all.

His hot body pressed against her from behind, as if trying to melt her. His hands roamed restlessly, and his deep breath brushed against the back of her neck. "Wife."

In the darkness, his thin lips precisely found her lips, and the refreshing scent of mint wafted over, gradually invading all her senses.

Their breaths mingled as he kissed her lips, making Lin Xuechun dizzy and dazed. Unconsciously, her arms rose and encircled his neck.

……

After an unknown amount of time, a low, slightly panting voice echoed in the darkness: "Wife, am I more fun than the phone? Hmm?"

The only response he received was a soft, gurgling sound, like a kitten being tickled on the belly by its owner, mixed with disordered panting, clinging stickily to his ear.

The next morning, Lin Xuechun was awakened by the sunlight filtering through the gap in the curtains.

As soon as she moved, she felt the arms wrapped around her waist tighten, her legs were also pinned down, and she was trapped inside a hard, warm wall.

Even breathing could be heard in front of him. Xi Chenzhou was still asleep, his face buried in the pillow, his eyelashes drooping quietly, his nose high and straight, his thin lips slightly pursed. He looked like a docile sleeping puppy, completely harmless, a far cry from the big bad wolf from last night.

She stared at him for a few seconds, then reached out and nudged his shoulder. "Loosen up a bit, I can't move."

"Baby..." Xi Chenzhou hummed indistinctly, his eyes still closed. His arms instinctively tightened around her, pulling her into his embrace. He nuzzled her head and whispered again, "Wife..."

"Hold me for a while."

How much more can I hold her? She's practically inseparable from him.

Unable to move, Lin Xuechun opened her mouth and bit his collarbone, her teeth gently grinding against it, causing a slight tickle. He groaned, his large hand rubbing her lower back, a low chuckle escaping his throat.

"You're still laughing." Lin Xuechun said sullenly, nestled against his chest. "You can keep studying late at night from now on. I'm not going to care about you anymore."

"Huh?" Xi Chenzhou didn't hear clearly, so he lowered his head and touched the top of her head with his lips. "What did you say, wife?"

Lin Xuechun pressed her face against his chest, her voice muffled: "When you were studying late at night, I could only sleep peacefully because you were holding me up. But now that you're not holding me up, I can't sleep at all!"

"So you should just keep studying, as late as you want. I'm not going to do it anymore."

The last sentence had a hint of giving up entirely.

Xi Chenzhou paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, his chest heaving: "I'm not rolling anymore, never again. Studying is nothing compared to the pleasure of having a wife. From now on, I'll go to bed early with my wife every day."

"You bastard, are you saying you're sleeping with me? It's clearly more like..."

"What is it?"

"...They're clearly not letting me sleep!"

"Let go, I need to get up! I have class this morning..." Lin Xuechun couldn't move, so she reached for his waist with her small hand and tried to twist it hard, but she couldn't twist anything; it was rock hard.

"Hmph! You big bad guy!"

Xi Chenzhou smiled and leaned down to kiss her forehead before reluctantly letting her get out of bed.

After Lin Xuechun got up, Xi Chenzhou also got up.

After washing up, the two sat down at the table to eat breakfast.

The morning light shone through the window, casting a warm glow on the table.

Xi Chenzhou pushed the warmed milk in front of her and handed her a croissant sandwich with eggs, bacon and cheese inside.

Lin Xuechun's phone vibrated a few times. Holding a croissant in one hand, she reached for her phone with the other and swiped to open it. It was a WeChat message from Zhou Xinran, asking her to save a spot for her.

She replied with an "ok" emoji.

Zhou Xinran: [Baby, you changed your profile picture?]

Ok?

Lin Xuechun blinked, clicked on her profile picture, and then realized that her profile picture had changed to a kitten with white earphone wires in its ears.

Isn't this the couple profile picture she used to like?

But she didn't change it. Could it be that she changed it while sleepwalking last night?

Zhou Xinran: [Hey baby, I just checked Xi Chenzhou's profile picture, he changed it too. You two are finally using matching profile pictures.]

Ok?

Lin Xuechun switched to Xi Chenzhou's WeChat profile picture and clicked on it. His profile picture had changed to a dog wearing white earphone wires.

She stared at the dog for several seconds, her eyes slowly brightening, like ripples spreading across the surface of water after a pebble has been thrown in.

She looked up at Xi Chenzhou, who was also looking at her with a lazy smile on his lips, as if waiting for her to ask a question.

"Did you change your profile picture?" Lin Xuechun held her phone screen up to him, a faint blush rising on her cheeks.

"Do you like it, wife?" He raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze falling on her blushing face.

Lin Xuechun nodded. "When did you change?"

"When you're snoring in your sleep," Xi Chenzhou teased her deliberately.

Her previously delighted expression instantly turned into that of a puffed-up kitten; her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she huffed, "You're the one who snores!"

Xi Chenzhou chuckled, "Teasing your wife. You don't snore, and you're incredibly well-behaved when you're asleep, like a little fairy."

"Hmph." Lin Xuechun raised her chin arrogantly, thinking he knew how to talk.

Xi Chenzhou found her incredibly cute, so he sat down next to her and pulled her into his arms. Lin Xuechun nestled into his embrace, took a bite of her croissant, swallowed it slowly, and asked somewhat awkwardly and shyly, "Then, why did you decide to change your profile picture to this set of couple photos...?"
