He tricked the female lead into becoming his boyfriend, but then went on to criticize the male lead.

She transmigrated into the book, destined to leave him. The female lead was destined to be his, while she was destined not to accompany him to the end.

After some time, the thunder outside gradually subsided, and the rain began to patter against the window.

Wen Zhaoci nuzzled against her neck in a muffled voice, her tone lazy and husky from just falling asleep: "Baby, with you here, I'm not afraid."

Sang Jiuning's heart tightened, and she said softly, "Go to sleep."

"Um."

He obediently responded, but instead of closing his eyes obediently, he quietly raised his head, his dark and deep eyes staring unblinkingly at her profile so close to his.

Moonlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, outlining her soft silhouette, making his heart flutter.

He cherished this warmth, and he cherished the person beside him.

From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever coaxed him so gently, and no one had ever been willing to quietly stay with him during a thundering night.

Only Sang Jiuning.

Even though he knew that she would sometimes drift off, hesitate, or even have a vague thought of leaving, he still couldn't bear to let her go.

Gradually, drowsiness swept over her, and Wen Zhaoci completely relaxed, her breathing becoming even and long, until she fell into a deep sleep.

Sang Jiuning remained in that position, gently patting his back, looking at him as he slept soundly with a complex and heart-wrenching expression.

She murmured softly, "Wen Zhaoci, please don't be so kind... okay?"

The better the relationship, the less she wants to break up.

No sleep for one night.

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room.

Wen Zhaoci woke up first, and the moment she opened her eyes, she was met with Sang Jiuning's gentle gaze.

A smile instantly bloomed in his eyes, and he subconsciously tightened his arms, holding the person tightly in his embrace.

Good morning, baby.

Sang Jiuning snapped back to reality and pushed him away, saying, "It's dawn, you should go back."

He refused to move, looking aggrieved: "You coaxed me all night last night, and now you don't want me anymore?"

"Who's been keeping you company all night? Get up now."

Wen Zhaoci slowly got up, straightened the blankets, and looked at her intently: "Baby, good morning kiss."

After saying that, he leaned down and gently placed a kiss on her forehead.

Just as he was about to leave, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, along with Lin Luoluo's cheerful voice: "Jiu Ning! Wake up, let's go have breakfast together~"

Lin Luoluo's knocking continued outside the door. Sang Jiuning glared reproachfully at Wen Zhaoci, who was beaming with triumph beside her, her eyes filled with a mixture of anger and annoyance. She cleared her throat and called out, "Coming right away, just two minutes!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she almost frantically grabbed the casual outfit she had prepared in advance, grabbed the clothes, and hurriedly went into the bathroom, even closing the door in a somewhat rushed manner.

The sound of running water stopped only a moment later, and Sang Jiuning finished washing up and changing her clothes. When she pushed open the door, her cheeks still had a faint blush.

She walked quickly to Wen Zhaoci, tiptoed close to his ear, and whispered in a very low voice, with a cautious, admonishing tone, "Wait until I leave before you go out. Don't let anyone see you, understand?"

A warm breath brushed against her ear, and Wen Zhaoci's heart softened. His usually indifferent brows relaxed completely, filled with an irrepressible tenderness and smile. He reached out and gently ruffled her hair, his tone submissive and doting: "Okay, whatever you say, baby. I'll wait for you to leave before I go out."

His wife is adorably naive. Last night, Sister Chan told him everything, including his past, and that's when he finally decided to come back. Before he was fifteen, he really couldn't sleep during thunderstorms, but later he came to terms with it and hardened his heart, so he stopped caring about thunderstorms.

Sang Jiuning straightened her clothes, opened the door, and went out.

Sure enough, only Lin Luoluo was outside the door, leaning against the wall scrolling through her phone. When she saw her come out, her eyes lit up and she reached out to grab her wrist.

Sang Jiuning looked around the corridor but didn't see the other two. She couldn't help but ask, "Luo Luo, where are Sister Chan and Ruoxi? Why are you here all alone?"

"Don't even mention those two, they're typical morning people who have trouble getting up. I called them for ages and they still wouldn't get up, saying they wanted to go back to sleep."

Lin Luoluo pouted, then pulled her towards the restaurant with light steps. "Let's not wait for them. Let's go have breakfast first. Ayu just told me that the restaurant specially prepared Australian lobsters this morning. There are only a few, so they'll be gone if we go too late. Let's grab them first and not leave them any!"

Sang Jiuning was pulled along by her, and when she heard that there was Australian lobster for breakfast, she was secretly amazed.

This hot spring resort is so extravagant! Arranging such expensive ingredients so early in the morning is definitely a way for the wealthy to relax.

As soon as the two entered the exquisitely decorated restaurant, they smelled the fresh aroma of seafood. Several plump and brightly colored Australian lobsters were placed on the table, which were particularly eye-catching.

Without saying a word, Lin Luoluo picked up the plate, put two pieces of food into her super large plate, and then put two more pieces into Sang Jiuning's plate as well, her movements were swift and efficient.

"Lolo, this is too big. I can't finish just one. Taking two is such a waste." Sang Jiuning quickly pulled her back, looking at the two heavy lobsters on the super-large plate, feeling a little lost.

"Silly girl, why don't you save some for your boyfriend if you can't finish it?" Lin Luoluo poked her forehead, shook the two lobsters on her plate, and smiled mischievously. "Look at me, this other one is specially saved for Ayu. Isn't that how couples should be, always thinking of each other?"

Sang Jiuning looked at the table and, sure enough, there was only one lobster left. Feeling a little guilty, she tugged at Lin Luoluo's arm and whispered, "Is it really okay for us to just take it all and not leave any for the others? After all, Sister Chan and the others haven't come down yet."

"What's wrong with that? It's first come, first served anyway. It's their fault for getting up late." Lin Luoluo waved her hand dismissively, leading her to a table by the window. "Sit down, don't worry about them. Let's eat."

Sang Jiuning was speechless and could only obediently sit down. With delicious food in front of her, she couldn't think of anything else.

The two had only been eating for a short while when footsteps sounded at the restaurant entrance. Wen Zhaoci, Chi Nanli, Jiang Shangyu, Gu Shiyan, and their group walked in together.

Aside from Jiang Shangyu, who was dressed casually in a T-shirt and trousers, the girls all wore off-the-shoulder dresses, exuding youthful energy and instantly making the restaurant much more lively.

Chi Nanli immediately spotted the last Australian lobster on the table, quickly walked over and picked it up. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Zhao Muze's voice coming from behind him.

"Since this is the last one, I'll give this one to my wife." Zhao Muze said naturally, reaching out to place the plate and lobster directly in front of his girlfriend. His movements were fluid and efficient, giving Chi Nanli no chance to react.
