Whether in the past or present, China has a clear understanding of herself.

Having finally gained China's trust, Su Shi feared that China would criticize her again with such words, and then gradually distance herself from her, returning to the past.

Therefore, she could only suppress her resentment and look to the future.

In order to spend more time with China, she agreed, using a lighthearted tone to mask her inner regret.

"Since China has given such an order, I guess I'll just have to go to school tomorrow."

"Mmm." Chinai shrunk back into the covers with satisfaction.

Sigh, how much of one's studies can be delayed by missing a day of class?

It must be very difficult to reconcile such a contradiction: being so dependent on others for their care while also being afraid of burdening them.

"sleep early."

Su Shi straightened the blankets next to China, turned off the ceiling light, and dimmed the bedside lamp, so that her reflection could still be seen through her hair.

China rested her arms on the pillow, her legs slightly curled up, and settled into a side-lying position. She closed her eyes, but her mind was not yet completely clear.

She had one more thing to tell her.

"Xiao Su Shi, you'd better sleep in the guest room tonight, otherwise you won't be able to concentrate in class tomorrow. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle my fussing tonight."

She wanted to emphasize that after drinking, she might become even more unruly at night due to the combined effects of alcohol and drugs, but she didn't mention it again to prevent Su Shi from feeling guilty.

With Chinai closing her eyes, Su Shi's smile faded, replaced by a hint of worry.

I didn't originally intend to go to class; I wanted to accompany you to the hospital.

But this time, he said "it's best to sleep in the guest room tonight," instead of politely refusing to sleep in the same bed. Does that count as making some progress?

In order to cherish this rare opportunity, Su Shi also took a step back.

"Okay, I'll go back to my guest room to sleep after China falls asleep."

Chika kept her eyes closed comfortably and confessed without any doubt.

"Actually, the reason I wanted you to sleep in the guest room wasn't just because I was afraid of hurting you at night. There were also some selfish reasons of mine... I was worried that if I hurt you, you would leave me, just like when I had my symptoms and you poured ice water on me. Hurting others is hurting yourself, right?"

Su Shi was stunned for a moment, then smiled quietly.

So, the reason she kept her distance from me wasn't because she didn't trust me enough, or because she still harbored resentment towards me; it was because she was afraid of me leaving.

Indeed, splashing ice water on yourself only cools your skin and can also relieve your guilt.

But splashing it on Qiannai... is like the pain of an ice pick piercing her heart.

Maybe I really should back down a bit more.

Otherwise, if he can't even guarantee his own mental well-being, how can he take care of Chika?

However, before leaving, let's do our best to be considerate.

"Little Chinatsu, would you like to hear some bedtime stories?"

China quietly shook her head.

"How about this?" Su Shi gently patted China's body through the blanket, as if soothing a child to sleep.

China smiled contentedly.

Before long, it fell into a deep sleep with the help of patting.

Su Shi, supporting her upper body with her hands, looked at Qian Nai with a doting gaze and gradually stopped moving.

Suddenly, China's eyes moved.

"Shoot a little longer..." she mumbled.

"Sure," Su Shi continued to pat gently.

She really does look like a little baby.

China fell asleep quickly again, and this time she seemed to be sleeping soundly.

She also didn't say, as China herself described last time, that she had bad sleeping posture and would kick off the blankets.

It seems nothing will happen tonight, right?

Su Shi gradually felt sleepy.

She glanced at the door, then at the soundly sleeping China, and began to hesitate.

At this moment, part of the right side of China's face was buried in the pillow, and the beauty mark under her eye was also covered.

In the dim light of the bedside lamp, her face looked exactly like someone else's.

"..."

After a short while, Su Shi turned off the bedside lamp, put her hand under the covers, and then crawled her whole body under them.

Let's sleep together.

Su Shi Chao Qian Nai shifted slightly, facing Qian Nai, and slowly closed her eyes.

"Pat...pat!" China suddenly woke up again, her eyes tightly closed, and vaguely pleaded.

This woke up Su Shi, who was just about to fall asleep. She weakly reached out and patted her again.

While patting her, he fell asleep himself, his hand still on China's back, and was immediately woken up again.

"Ugh……"

Being repeatedly woken up gave Su Shi a headache. She rubbed her sore and numb hands, thinking that this was going to go on forever.

I should have known better than to film it.

"Little China, be a good baby, okay?" Su Shi said wearily.

But China refused to whine. She twisted her body, grabbed Su Shi's hand, and put her fingers in her mouth like a pacifier.

"What..." Su Shi now understood what strange things would happen if she drank alcohol while taking the medicine.

Taking care of a baby is really not easy.

Just as I was getting annoyed by this torment, a sudden pain shot through my finger.

China bit her finger.

"what!"

Su Shi was in so much pain that she sat up in bed with a start.

After wiping the sweat from her face, she reached for the bedside but couldn't find China.

"Is it a dream?"

It seems that while I was patting China to sleep, I also fell asleep and then seamlessly switched into a dream.

Never mind that for now. Su Shi turned on the light, got out of bed, and anxiously searched for Qian Nai, only to find that the bathroom light was also on.

……

In the bathroom, China silently gazed at herself in the mirror.

In her line of sight, China in the mirror was turned to the side, head held high, thumb resting on her chin, like an appraiser.

I didn't interfere with pouring the ice water; it was your impulsive desire to completely control Su Shi that led you to try and amplify her guilt.

Just imagine how adorable it was when Su Shi helped you change out of your cold clothes, and the two of you kept apologizing to each other.

Oh, I forgot, you're in that same excited state right now, just like you were not long ago.

What do you want to do right now?

China's lips curled into a wide smile.

"A chaotic, irrational, and arbitrary thing."

squeak??

Su Shi nervously pushed open the door and saw Qian Nai smiling and talking to herself in front of the mirror in the middle of the night. She was so frightened that she almost lost her soul.

Upon seeing Su Shi, China's smile faded somewhat.

Then, pretending to be normal, he said with some surprise:

"Xiao Su Shi also woke up in the middle of the night. It's true that it's easy to get up at night after drinking alcohol."

"Indeed." Su Shiqiang smiled back, trying to appear calm.

A strong intuition, or rather, experience, made Su Shi realize that this was definitely not the normal China.

But when she woke up in the middle of the night, her mind was not clear, she felt uneasy, but she couldn't think of any way to deal with it.

Perhaps it really is as China advised me before; I shouldn't sleep in the same room with her at night.

Soon, China's subsequent actions confirmed Su Shi's intuition.

“Come on,” China pulled down her collar, revealing her neck, “I command you to bite me again.”

Su Shi slowly stepped back, clenching her fists, and forced herself to speak through her fear: "I said in my promise... that I would not do anything to hurt Qian Nai again."

China shook her head helplessly, her right cheek resting on her hand, revealing only her left amber eye as she arrogantly stared at Su Shi.

"I've tormented your soul like this, don't you really hate me at all?"

Su Shi shook his hand and shouted, "How could I!"

After a moment, she lowered her head, gritting her teeth:

“I did hate you before, but…”

Su Shi's tone gradually calmed down.

"But ever since you started accepting my care, there hasn't been any more..."

"All of this is because I didn't listen to you, because I only thought about myself..."

"I mean, you really don't hate me?" China interrupted with a repetition.

Su Shi sensed something was wrong. She looked up and saw that China was still holding her right forehead, covering her eye with the beauty mark.

Looking at that familiar figure, Su Shi suddenly understood.

"Yes...why did you leave back then..."

"Not even an explanation..."

"I have always, I have always..."

I hate you!

Su Shi pounced and bit China's neck tightly until blood seeped out...

……

When I woke up again in bed, the sunlight was already streaming in through the blinds.

Su Shi touched her blurry right eye, glanced at her phone, and saw that there were still fifteen minutes until the alarm went off.

Another new day.

"A dream within a dream..."

She glanced at the bedside; China was still fast asleep.

Fortunately, it was just a dream.

Su Shi breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and whispered to Qian Nai, "Go to sleep, I'll go to school properly."

Just as her gaze was about to leave China's face, she realized something was wrong.

The blanket covering China was undulating slightly.

"This is……"

Su Shi pulled the blanket down slightly.

A safety rope is being tied around China's body.

This is also why Su Shi was able to get a relatively peaceful night's sleep.
