The package has assigned me way too many objects.

"Hmm?" Chu Yinan was taken aback. It seemed... there was a small problem.

This time, there was a very light knock on the door, and Chu Yinan and Marissa immediately panicked.

Perhaps worried about being discovered by the patrolling maid, Chun opened the door and came in without waiting for Chu Yinan's response.

In a moment of panic, Chu Yinan didn't even have time to disconnect. He quickly shrunk his body and awkwardly lay sideways with Marissa, embracing her like wooden dolls.

Marisa let out a soft moan, her voice somewhat endearing. With her voice being her natural gift, this small, mournful cry seemed to possess a magical power, causing Chu Yinan's blood to boil uncontrollably.

Why is it getting more and more...bullying? Marissa clenched her fists, trying her best to keep quiet.

Chun crawled into bed, still shaken, and said, "That scared me to death! I almost got caught."

Seeing that Chu Yinan and Marisa were both lying on their sides, she lay down behind Chu Yinan and leaned over to lie on her side and hug Chu Yinan.

But when she hugged him like that, she pushed Chu Yinan forward a little, and Chu Yinan followed suit and pushed forward a little as well.

Marissa's pupils suddenly contracted: ?!

Chapter 18 is a bit hot

Chun thought they were already asleep, but then she heard Marissa hum softly.

Are you asleep? Or were you just woken up?

Chu Yinan figured that if he didn't respond, it would be a bit suspicious. She had probably heard Marissa's voice just now, and when he shrank, the blankets moved a bit. He wondered if she had seen it.

He decisively abandoned the option of pretending to be asleep. His voice trembled slightly from the warmth and the tight pressure. He steadied his breathing and said:

"I was probably about to fall asleep. I was daydreaming for a moment, and I think I only came back to my senses after you came into the room."

The maid, dressed in a cotton nightgown, seemed a little strange as she hugged Chu Yinan.

Does the young master have a habit of sleeping naked? And the way he and Marisa are hugging is also strange. In terms of size, Marisa is bigger than Xiao Chu Nan, so she should be hugging Xiao Chu Nan. But now it's Xiao Chu Nan hugging her from behind, which is a bit awkward.

As for the "dreaming state" mentioned by Chu Yinan, Chun himself has also experienced it. It's probably a kind of... spacing out? It's definitely a sign that he's about to fall asleep.

"Looks like I'm a bit early. If I had come any later, you guys would probably be asleep. Is Marissa asleep?" Chun asked softly, noticing that Marissa was acting strangely by not saying a word.

Marissa hadn't moved, yet she felt Chu Yinan growing stronger and more powerful (referring to the arm holding her). The girl quietly adjusted her breathing and responded:

"Hmm...not yet. I'm just worried that if we keep chatting, I might get more and more awake...ah...don't worry about me, I can fall asleep listening to you guys chat, as long as I don't participate..."

Chun thought to herself, "It seems that Marissa is indeed a bit sleepy. She's even stuttering when she speaks. I'd better not chat with her."

"Little Chunan, why are you and Marissa sleeping in such strange positions?"

"Because Marissa always held me before, this time she said she wanted to experience what it feels like to be held while sleeping, so I just held her like this..."

Chu Yinan tried hard to find a reasonable explanation. He was now in a dilemma in all aspects, and it would be best for him to continue to maintain the current state without being suspected.

"At first I wanted to hug her from the front, but that would make my head feel a bit stuffy, so I could only hug her like this."

Yes, Chun nodded. She often saw Yan Liu holding Chu Yinan in her arms while watching movies. If she had just finished showering and was wearing a bathrobe, and hadn't pulled up the collar yet, she could sometimes see Chu Yinan's head being held between her arms. If you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't even be able to see where he was.

"What's going on with Chun? Why is she here so early?" Chu Yinan estimated that she should have arrived between 11 and 12 o'clock.

"I heard that Head Maid Darlena wouldn't be patrolling tonight and would be going to bed early, so I came early. It's currently the time when the maids change shifts, so there's a lot of movement around, but it won't seem suspicious for me to be walking around in the corridor."

So that's how it is. Chu Yinan was really badly hurt. This infiltration mission to blend into the crowd really startled him, and now he doesn't know what to do.

After a while, they said goodnight to each other. Chun stopped talking and stopped hugging Chu Yinan. Instead, she lay down on her side because she felt that Chu Yinan and Marissa were two heat sources. Their bodies were very hot, making their bed warm and cozy.

If I keep holding him, I'll probably sweat even in an air-conditioned room.

Chu Yinan and Marisa remained locked in a tense standoff, neither daring to move. Chu Yinan could feel Marisa shrinking back tightly (referring to her body cautiously curling up together).

After about five minutes, Chun's breathing became steady, indicating that she had fallen asleep.

But Chu Yinan remained cautious and waited for almost a quarter of an hour before mustering the courage to quickly finish reading and fall into a deep sleep.

----------

The next morning.

It was indeed getting light later than usual, and the servants in the house were already busy, but the night had not yet faded.

After washing up, Chu Yinan went to the dining room with Marissa for breakfast, but he was feeling a bit unwell and kept yawning and feeling sleepy.

Standing to the side, Darlene asked considerately, "Young Master doesn't seem to be in good spirits. Is he having trouble sleeping?"

Chu Yinan shook his head and said "no," but he yawned as soon as he finished speaking, which completely undermined his credibility.

"I don't think I had insomnia. I was probably not used to the bed and didn't sleep well. Plus, I got up earlier than usual, so I was a little sleepy. I woke up after a while."

The beautiful black-haired maid said in a measured tone:

"That's good. If you're really not feeling well, I can ask for leave on your behalf. You can rest here, young master. Studying without being in the right state of mind will only deplete your enthusiasm for learning."

Chu Yinan took a couple of bites, then realized Chun wasn't there. Perhaps he was worried about Darlena being there. He said:

"Dalena, let Chun eat with us. You sit down and eat too, otherwise I'm not used to it and I don't have an appetite."

Darlena originally wanted to say that there were rules between maids and masters and that they could not eat together casually, but when she heard Chu Yinan say that she was not used to it and had no appetite, she compromised.

"Okay." Darlena instructed the maid who was waiting to call Chun over.

After breakfast, Chun took Chu Yinan and Marisa on their way back.

As soon as Chu Yinan got into the car, he asked indirectly, "Marisa, how did you sleep? Is it difficult to get leave from school? If it's not difficult, go back to the monastery to rest first. It would be terrible if you have to run around in PE class or something."

But if you're going to take leave to rest at the monastery, why not just come to my house?

Marissa shook her head to indicate that she was fine: "I'm just a little sleepy. There's no PE class today, so I can just sit in the classroom."

"What will happen after school?" Chu Yinan was still worried.

Although he was a little sleepy, his normal activities were not affected, but he still needed to pay attention to the girl.

"I can just walk home slowly after school~ and I can even wait for the horse-drawn carriage to take me back to the monastery."

Listening to their conversation, I felt completely lost.

She went to bed a little later than usual last night, but she still slept well. Why are these two so listless? You'd believe they stayed up all night.

It's mostly a matter of sleeping posture. Hugging each other is so hot, it will definitely affect falling asleep. Even if you manage to fall asleep, it's a big problem whether you can get a good quality of sleep!

So why bother!

The silver-haired maid suddenly felt happy about her clever decision last night; thankfully, she hadn't joined them in the hugging.

After sending Marissa to Saint Hua Palace Academy, Chu Yinan instructed her that AI Sister would pick her up after school and that she shouldn't walk in such a hurry alone.

After explaining everything, he felt relieved and set off back to Twin Islands.

How to start Chapter 19?

When I got up, it was still dark, but by the time I arrived at the school gate, it was already rush hour for students to go to school.

Traffic was increasing on the nearby roads, and Chu Yinan blended into the flow of cars. Although there was a maid in the car, it didn't stop him from being an ordinary high school student on his way to school.

If a student getting out of the car at a temporary parking spot on their way to school notices a beautifully dressed maid in the car, they'll probably think more about their girlfriend cosplaying or something similar.

However, it's unlikely that you'd discover that the car is inside, with privacy tinting on the windows, even if the interior is fully equipped, but the exterior is that of a regular car.

Chu Yinan stopped near the school gate and took out his phone to check the time:

"At this time, Yutang shouldn't be at school yet. I'll wait for her."

It's not exactly early now, but it's still four minutes earlier than usual when he and his sister arrive at school. With her handsome, dashing, and exceptionally intelligent younger brother no longer acting as her alarm clock, the chubby sister in black stockings might be a little late.

Taking advantage of the two or three minutes of waiting, Chu Yinan called Aunt Liu to tell her that he had arrived at school and that he had slept well last night, just to let her know that he was safe and sound.

Aunt Liu then started nagging about whether he had slept well, if he hadn't, to ask if he should take leave, and whether he had eaten breakfast, among other everyday things. After confirming that the little one was alright and couldn't take leave to visit her company, she hung up the phone with regret.

Chu Yinan: "..."

Aunt Liu, why are you so eager for me to feel unwell and take a sick day?!

After waiting for a while, Chu Yinan still hadn't seen Yu Tang, but he did see Jiang Xuanya first.

This senior student wore a neat ponytail and a school uniform that wasn't much different from others, but her ample breasts gave her short-sleeved shirt a youthful sexiness that was hard for others to pull off.

She walked with a light and quick gait, partly because of her long legs and partly because she was naturally an athletic girl. Her light steps caused her shirt to flutter slightly, and from Chu Yinan's perspective, he could vaguely see her flat stomach and abs.

Upon seeing Chu Yinan standing at the school gate, the senior student flashed a bright smile, a typical early morning smile.

"Xiao Chunan, why are you waiting here all by yourself? What are you doing?" She looked around, seemingly wondering why Bei Yutang wasn't there.

Chu Yinan said, "I'm waiting for Yutang. I stayed at a relative's house last night, so I didn't go back to school with her this morning. I think she should be at school by now, so I'll wait for her here at the gate."

Jiang Xuanya ruffled his hair, took a cup of yogurt from her bag and handed it to him, urging him on:

"She might already be back in the classroom. Even if she hasn't come yet, a few more minutes won't make a difference. How about we go into the teaching building first?"

If I go in with Sister Jiang first, she'll definitely use this to provoke me when she runs into my own Sister Bei, and I'll be the one who suffers when I get home.

This is inappropriate!

Chu Yinan took the yogurt, took a sip without saying a word, and then refused:

"No, I'll wait a bit longer. Yu Tang has a bad temper, and I don't want to have to coax her later, which is exhausting." He sighed maturely.

I've borne too much maturity and composure that someone my age shouldn't have to.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade the little guy, Jiang Xuanya gave up. After all, it was just an attempt. She waited with Chu Yinan at the school gate.

Jiang Xuanya is very popular at school. Her cheerful and approachable personality, as well as her excellent appearance and figure, make her one of the most eye-catching people in the school.

She stood next to Chu Yinan, and Chu Yinan instantly felt the pressure of her gaze.

At first, only girls would look at him out of curiosity, but now even boys are staring at him with looks like, "Who is this bastard?" or "Why is it this bastard again?"

"Sister Xuanya, why don't you go back to the classroom and rest first?" Chu Yinan was feeling very uncomfortable.

"It's okay, it'll only take a little while."

You're okay, but I'm in trouble!

He was waiting peacefully, but now he's feeling restless, with people he knows and doesn't know glancing at him.

Jiang Xuanya was used to other people's gazes, but looking at Chu Yinan's serious little face, she suddenly understood what was going on and smiled:

"You're a grown man, you shouldn't be afraid of being looked at by others, right?"
