After being kicked out of the wealthy family along with her yandere childhood friend

Pei Jin was silent for a moment, neither saying yes nor no.

Chi Shibao read through the PowerPoint presentation on the other side of the screen while trying to comfort himself.

It's okay, it's okay. Not refusing means agreeing!

Besides, he has his own legs, so he can go wherever he wants!

Waaaaaah...

Finally, at 23:30 PM, Pei Jin, for the first time, didn't give Chi Shibao a summary, but instead stared intently into Chi Shibao's eyes on the screen.

"Okay, that's it. Just go over it with me again tomorrow morning, and then you can perform normally during the defense."

Chi Shibao was taken aback, as if he hadn't expected the evening to end so decisively.

"Really? Bro! Wow! I'm that good!"

Pei Jin nodded, and the next second after hanging up the video call, the screen went dark, and Bai Tao's face suddenly appeared from behind the computer.

"Can he really be that good?"

She remembered Pei Jin saying that Chi Shibao hadn't learned anything, but now Pei Jin actually trusts him!

Pei Jin is amazing! He can teach so well even though he hasn't learned anything himself!

Pei Jin turned his head, pinched her cheek with his thumb and forefinger, and gently shook her head.

"How could that be? He barely passed. The students at our school are all very hardworking. I just didn't want to discourage him the day before his defense."

Bai Tao nodded and freed herself from his fingers.

"Okay, it's too late, let's go to sleep."

Pei Jin raised his eyes, a glimmer of light just beginning to shine within them.

Bai Tao sensed a hint of danger and quickly took a small step back.

"It's just a normal night's sleep with the blanket on!"

Pei Jin closed the laptop. "But I haven't kissed you today."

"You're talking nonsense, we already kissed today."

"That counts too? I was talking about French kissing."

No!

Someone tell her how this person can say such things so frankly.

Bai Tao rolled her eyes, ignored him, and turned to walk towards the restroom.

Before she could take a second step, Pei Jin scooped her up, supporting her waist with both hands and pinning her against the wall.

The wall was slightly cool against her back, while his body heat was against her front.

Bai Tao swallowed hard, and the next second, Pei Jin chased after her and kissed her.

His lips pressed against hers, and Bai Tao felt her back against the cold wall, while in front of her was Pei Jin's burning body temperature.

They kissed for who knows how long, until Bai Tao finally relaxed, clinging to him and panting heavily.

"Pei Jin..."

"Um?"

Pei Jin's eyes were filled with desire as he stared at Bai Tao's lips, nose, and eyes.

Bai Tao sensed something, and her voice held a hint of hesitation.

"You...you're pressing against me..."

"Um."

The sound came from Pei Jin's throat. Pei Jin's eyes were unfathomable. Bai Tao wanted to run away, but could only cling to Pei Jin's arms.

"Am I the only one who wants this?"

Bai Tao remained silent.

Pei Jin patiently asked again, his voice lower than before, carrying a hint of coaxing.

"Am I the only one who wants this? Baby?"

Bai Tao buried her head deeply in Pei Jin's shoulder, her forehead resting against his collarbone.

"There's none at home..."

Pei Jin didn't let go of her, he just smiled, turned her around, and walked towards the restroom.

"It's okay, I'll help you."

Realizing what was happening, Bai Tao jolted and began to push him away forcefully, pressing her entire weight into his arms.

"...I don't want to help you..."

Pei Jin smiled, neither letting go nor putting her down, but simply patting her bottom gently.

"You don't need to do it, baby. I'll do it."

Bai Tao was the first person to come out of the toilet.

Her steps were a little unsteady, and she had to lightly brace her fingertips against the wall to regain her balance.

She lowered her head, walked to the cupboard, poured herself a glass of water, and then stood there waiting.

When Pei Jin came out, his hair was still wet and his face was covered in water droplets; he had just washed his face.

Seeing Bai Tao standing there waiting for him with a water glass in her hand, he was stunned for a moment, then walked over, took the water, walked past her, and put the glass back on the cabinet.

As he turned around, he lowered his head and placed a very light kiss on her forehead.

"Why are you making me drink water, baby?"

"I'm already full."

Bai Tao's cheeks visibly turned red.

Pei Jin picked up his phone and glanced at it; it was 1:18.

Bai Tao remained standing in the same spot, while Pei Jin stood beneath the light switch, raising an eyebrow.

"Aren't you going to sleep, baby?"

"sleep!"

Bai Tao quickly ran to the bed and tucked herself into the blankets.

Pei Jin smiled happily, turned off the light, and slowly walked towards the bed in the darkness.

Everything was wonderful tonight.

Except for the blanket that was in the way of the eyes between the two of them.

Pei Jin waited in the darkness for a while, making sure Bai Tao was asleep, before gently reaching out to pull his blanket a crack towards her.

His fingers groped along the edge of the blanket for a moment, then stopped.

Bai Tao actually pressed the blanket closest to him down tightly, so tightly that not even a finger could be inserted.

Pei Jin propped his head up in disbelief, touched the piece of fabric that was being pressed down beneath her, and after confirming that he hadn't made a mistake, he laughed in exasperation.

I just helped her tonight, and this is how she treats me?

What an ungrateful, heartless wretch!

He lay back on the pillow, stared at the ceiling for a while, then turned over and hugged Bai Tao from behind.

Bai Tao has learned to be smart.

When Pei Jin called her to get up this morning, she refused to get up no matter what, shrinking into the quilt and wrapping herself up tightly.

Pei Jin patted her back through the blanket and called her "baby" twice, but Bai Tao didn't react. So he lowered his head and kissed her through the blanket.

At ten o'clock, Bai Tao slowly got up and walked to the toilet in her slippers.

She was still a little sleepy, with one eye open and the other closed, and her steps were slow.

As I approached the restroom and looked up at the sink, I suddenly stopped in my tracks.

She stood there, her gaze fixed on the white ceramic tabletop...

Last night, Pei Jin laid a towel on this and had her sit on it.

Then Pei Jin slowly squatted down in front of the sink.

She straddled his back with one foot, her toes touching the ground, while he held her other foot in his hand.

Bai Tao stood at the toilet door, her head resting against the door frame.

She went into the bathroom, turned on the tap, scooped up a handful of cold water and splashed it on her face. She held her hands on her face for a moment, then looked up at herself in the mirror.

She had to move immediately; she could no longer face that mirror.

She picked up her phone and sent a message to Wang Jianguo.

"Is it ready, Brother Wang? I'm in a bit of a hurry."

Shortly after the message was sent, Wang Jianguo replied.

Okay, okay, sis, when are you free? I'll take you to see it.

Bai Tao thought for a moment, then, with a toothbrush in her mouth, typed a line of text.

How about this afternoon, 4 PM?

It's too late, sis. I still have to take the subway. Around 2 AM.

Bai Tao stared at the screen for a moment, then typed "OK!".

She cupped a handful of water in her hands, put it in her mouth, and looked at herself in the mirror.

Her phone vibrated twice more. She picked it up, read the words on the screen, and almost swallowed the mouthwash in her mouth.

Can I buy it?

What level of understanding is it to comprehend something in a second?

Bai Tao spat out the water in her mouth and forcefully typed a few words on the screen.

**Do not indulge in debauchery during the day!**
