After dinner, they quickly tidied up the mess and sat side by side on the edge of the bed.

Cheng Che sat on the edge of the bed, while Tian Xiwei sat cross-legged on the bed, leaning half of her body against Cheng Che.

She held up her phone and scrolled through Weibo with Cheng Che. When they encountered something uninteresting, they would simply swipe away, and when they encountered something funny, they would laugh so hard they would fall onto Cheng Che.

I got tired of scrolling and simply stayed put, resting my head on his shoulder, closing my eyes, and like a sloth, I pressed my whole weight against him, feeling as soft as if I had no bones.

"You're so gentle," Cheng Che whispered.

"Of course," Tian Xiwei said proudly.

Talk about it, talk about it, make trouble.

You people shouldn't be so swayed by the fact that she eats a lot every day... although she does eat quite a lot.

However, because she exercises regularly, she has always maintained a good weight.

Cheng Che didn't say anything more, just let her lean on him, and took out his phone to browse the book review section for a while.

Readers have gradually finished reading today's updated chapter.

Although no one died, most readers who weren't Patrick Star sensed a hint of danger.

Some readers who are more interested in the plot have come forward with reasonable doubts, pointing out that Uesugi Erii clearly grew up in a closed environment, has a simple personality, and is extremely naive about the world.

The fact that they've specifically arranged for her to meet Lu Mingfei speaks volumes...

No one refuted this point, because any reader, even a zero, could see it.

Unfortunately, they couldn't change anything.

When faced with characters in novels, readers are far more incompetent than their husbands.

The only hope is that the metaphysical school will pray to heaven and receive a response from the gods.

As night deepened, Cheng Che glanced at the time and decided it was about time for him to leave.

"It's time, I have to go back." He patted Tian Xiwei's head.

Tian Xiwei remained silent.

"hello?"

Tian Xiwei remained silent.

"Your Majesty, have you disconnected?"

Tian Xiwei finally reacted.

She didn't say anything, but just nuzzled Cheng Che's neck with her head.

It made Cheng Che feel a little itchy from rubbing against it.

"What?" Cheng Che looked down at her.

Tian Xiwei opened her eyes with a whimper, blinking repeatedly: "How about you stay tonight and just hold me while we sleep?"

"...Trying to hook me again?" Cheng Che's vigilance immediately went up to the maximum.

As the saying goes, "Once or twice, but not a third time." He wouldn't fall for the same trick a third time.

The naive Cheng Che of the past is gone forever!

"I'm not kidding you this time."

As Tian Xiwei spoke, she sat up, looked up at Cheng Che, and pouted.

"...I don't believe it." Cheng Che's heart was as firm as a rock.

"Think about it, am I very tired from filming every day?" Tian Xiwei did not give up.

"Yes." Cheng Che admitted this.

It takes one or two hours just to do my makeup and change clothes every day, so I'm definitely tired.

"So, I need you to stay," Tian Xiwei said. "Scientific research shows that being with someone you like can effectively improve sleep quality."

"This time it's for real, I'm not lying to you." Her fingers gently hooked around Cheng Che's clothes and tugged at them.

"...Really? Really?" Cheng Che wavered.

"Really, really." Tian Xiwei nodded earnestly.

"...Then I'll go back and take a shower first, and then come back?" Cheng Che knew that when Tian Xiwei showed this kind of expression, she was indeed serious.

"Mmm!" Tian Xiwei's eyes lit up, she let go of his hand and nodded obediently.

After Cheng Che left, she pulled the blanket over her head to cover her face, rolled around under the blanket for a while, and then sat up again, letting out a long sigh.

Now that things have come to this, she's going to take a shower.

……

Meanwhile, in the next room.

Sister Zhang, Xiao Tang, and Tian Xiwei's assistant, whose name has yet to be revealed, were playing cards around a glass round table.

The foreheads of the three people were covered with notes.

Those in the know will understand they're playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), but those who don't might think three female ghosts have come to the human world for a team-building activity.

"Do you think Cheng Che will go back to his room tonight?" Sister Zhang asked, leaving one person to face the other three.

"I think Che-ge will leave on his own initiative." Xiao-tang said, leaving behind a team of five. "But Sister Xiao-tian said she might make him stay. I think Che-ge is like a henpecked husband, unable to resist Sister Xiao-tian's sweet talk."

The assistant nodded in deep agreement.

Sister Zhang sighed.

She wanted to speak up for Bai Cai, but found that she couldn't refute it at all!

This wave is characterized by aggressive cabbage and passive pigs.

I hope the pig is alright.

……

About twenty minutes later, Tian Xiwei changed into her pajamas, dried her hair, and walked out of the bathroom.

She picked up her phone and sent a message to Cheng Che.

Oda: I've finished showering, come on over.

Cheng Che: I'm here.

Tian Xiwei stood guard behind the door and saw Cheng Che sneaking over through the peephole.

She chuckled and opened the door to let him into the room.

"You know what, it was actually pretty exciting." Cheng Che wiped away some sweat.

"You're making it sound like we're having an affair," Tian Xiwei commented.

"Although the words aren't exactly flattering, they sound more exciting," Cheng Che said, scratching his head. "And in a way, they don't seem wrong."

Maintaining a relationship secretly without telling the public—how can that not be considered "cheating"?

"Dry your hair." Tian Xiwei handed the hairdryer to Cheng Che.

Cheng Che took it naturally. Since it wasn't the first time, his technique had become increasingly skillful.

After drying my hair, the next step is to go to bed.

Cheng Che felt that although this didn't quite fit his persona, it was indeed a bit awkward.

However, Tian Xiwei noticed his unease and immediately opened her arms wide:

"hug."

Cheng Che dared not disobey the imperial decree, so he bent down, wrapped his arms around her knees, and lifted her up in a princess carry. Tian Xiwei took the opportunity to wrap her arms around his neck, her bare feet dangling in the air.

Sitting down at the head of the bed, Tian Xiwei naturally sat on his lap and leaned against his chest.

"Brother, brother." Tian Xiwei looked up, as if she had made some major discovery, "Your heart looks like it's about to explode."

"..."

So who is the culprit behind all this?

Cheng Che looked down at her.

Her freshly dried hair cascaded loosely over her shoulders, carrying the scent of shampoo. The neckline of her pajamas slipped slightly down as she moved, revealing a small section of her smooth collarbone.

"Do you like it?" Tian Xiwei noticed his gaze, and a mischievous thought popped into her head again. "Should I pull your collar down a bit more?"

"No need," Cheng Che refused decisively. "For the sake of our personal safety and well-being, let's go to sleep."

"oh."

Tian Xiwei seemed to realize something belatedly. Her face flushed slightly, she obediently got off Cheng Che, pulled the blanket over herself, and lay down on the bed.

Cheng Che breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had stopped "doing evil," and lifted the blanket to lie down next to her.

Tian Xiwei moved closer to him, snuggled into his arms, and closed her eyes.

Goodnight, Xiaotian.

Goodnight, baby~~

"??!!"
