It was an hour later when they got home. Shen Jiazhou still escorted Wen Shuqiao upstairs, holding her fingers and saying, "We agreed to go on a date tomorrow night."

Wen Shuqiao nodded: "I know, I know, you've said it so many times already."

Shen Jiazhou looked down at their clasped hands, his fingertips tracing the base of her fingers a couple of times, when he suddenly remembered something: "What about that ring you bought before?"

Wen Shuqiao used rings to ward off many suitors before, but she doesn't wear them much at home.

Wen Shuqiao asked, "In the room, what's wrong?"

Shen Jiazhou said, "Give it to me."

Wen Shuqiao didn't quite understand, but she still went in and found the ring, placing it in Shen Jiazhou's palm: "What do you need this for?"

"Confiscate it." Shen Jiazhou said, "Alright, it's evening, go to sleep."

Wen Shuqiao nodded, intending to watch him go downstairs first, but Shen Jiazhou remained standing at the door.

She asked, puzzled, "What else is wrong?"

Shen Jiazhou just looked at her without saying a word.

Wen Shuqiao looked at him strangely, but seeing his somewhat awkward expression, she understood what he meant.

She took a step forward, closing the distance between them. Shen Jiazhou's eyes sparkled as he looked at her, like stars in the sky.

Wen Shuqiao raised her hand and cupped his face. Shen Jiazhou lowered his head and closed his eyes, his meaning was clear.

She mischievously curled her lips into a smile, kissed him on the cheek, and then released him: "Okay, goodnight."

Shen Jiazhou opened one eye: "You kissed the wrong place."

Wen Shuqiao tried to pull her hand back, but Shen Jiazhou grabbed it, pressing her palm firmly against his face.

Shen Jiazhou pouted and gestured to Wen Shuqiao: "Do you know where to kiss me now?"

Wen Shuqiao pretended not to see, so Shen Jiazhou leaned down slightly and kissed her before he was satisfied: "Bad woman, you just pretend to be deaf and dumb."

With that face right there, how could he resist kissing me? Is he a ninja?! A ninja?!

Wen Shuqiao was kissed, and she looked at Shen Jiazhou with a helpless expression: "You're a kissing monster, aren't you? How many kisses do you need in one night?"

Shen Jiazhou stared at her lips as they opened and closed, released her hand, cupped her face instead, lifted her chin slightly, and kissed her again.

Wen Shuqiao shrank back a little, but without realizing it, Shen Jiazhou held the back of her head, tilting her head back to receive the tender kiss.

Shen Jiazhou kissed Wen Shuqiao for a while before letting go and burying his head in her shoulder, nuzzling her: "I want a kiss, what's wrong with a kiss?"

Wen Shuqiao steadied her breathing, and upon hearing Shen Jiazhou's words, she couldn't help but raise her hand and pinch the back of his neck: "Go to sleep."

Shen Jiazhou hugged her tighter and didn't move: "We won't see each other again tomorrow, so I'll hold you a little longer, just five minutes, just five minutes."

Wen Shuqiao instead put her arms around his waist: "Five minutes, no cheating."

Shen Jiazhou has a long criminal record, so she has to tell him in advance.

Shen Jiazhou gave a long "hmm," and then couldn't resist opening his mouth to bite Wen Shuqiao's neck.

Wen Shuqiao said dejectedly, "Why do you like biting me so much?"

Can Can also used to bite things a while ago, and she bit Shen Jia Zhou the most. After being disciplined, she would say her teeth were itchy, but after intervention, she didn't bite as much. As a result, the biting habit was passed on to Shen Jia Zhou, and she became the one being bitten.

"I don't know," Shen Jiazhou said vaguely, "I just wanted to bite you..."

Just thinking about biting Wen Shuqiao made him feel incredibly satisfied.

Wen Shu-chiao is so cute.

He added, "Did I bite you too hard? I'm sorry, I'll just bite you gently then."

Wen Shuqiao didn't say anything, but patted his side: "Five minutes are up."

Shen Jiazhou exclaimed, "Not yet."

Five minutes is a very long time! How could it have passed so quickly!

“I told you not to renege on your promise, and you’re already doing this on your first day. How can I trust what you say after this?” Wen Shuqiao patted his waist again, urging him to get up.

Shen Jiazhou's attempt to renege failed, and he reluctantly straightened up: "How about I wait until you fall asleep before I go downstairs? I can sing you a song or tell you a story."

Wen Shuqiao looked at him and asked calmly, "Then why don't you just sleep in my bed?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiazhou's ears instantly turned red, and he said awkwardly, "Isn't it a bit too fast?"

Wen Shuqiao gestured for them to come downstairs: "Please come downstairs."

Shen Jiazhou started groaning again.

Wen Shuqiao said expressionlessly, "Get down."

Seeing that Wen Shuqiao was determined, Shen Jiazhou said, "Alright, I'll go down now. Remember to miss me."

She thought to herself, "I should have been less coquettish before. Wen Shuqiao is immune to it now!"

It's time to use my looks to my advantage!

Shen Jiazhou dawdled downstairs, turning back every few steps. Wen Shuqiao was still standing at the door watching him, seemingly wanting to see him downstairs before going inside.

Shen Jiazhou raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Good night."

Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Sweet dreams."

Shen Jiazhou then went downstairs. Wen Shuqiao stood at the door for a while, and only after confirming that he wouldn't come up again did she turn around and go back into the bedroom.

With someone to share some of the burdens on her mind, Wen Shuqiao was in a good mood. After a quick wash, she lay down on the bed.

She picked up her phone to see what novel topics were interesting to her recently. After finishing her last book, she had been busy with life. Now that she had resigned from her studio, she could write another one.

Although I'm not short of money, I'll still try to earn as much as I can.

There's a new notification on WeChat.

There's no need to guess who it is.

Wen Shuqiao opened WeChat, and Shen Jiazhou's chat window popped up.

[Shen Jiazhou: Goodnight, going to sleep. I have to go to jail tomorrow.]

What a composure he is, he's just putting on a brave face.

Wen Shuqiao chuckled and replied with a goodnight emoji.

I switched back to reading a novel for a while. I don't know what happened tonight, but Wen Shuqiao's usual bedtime is 11 pm, and she didn't fall asleep until 1 am.

The room was very quiet, and a transparent crystal in the drawer flashed by, revealing data codes.

[System connection in progress...]

[System connection successful! Perfect Life System 098 is at your service!]

[Host's happiness index is five stars. Due to low system energy, a short-term hibernation period is underway to recharge. We look forward to the day we officially meet!]

Wen Shuqiao opened her eyes groggily. She seemed to hear some sound.

But soon, drowsiness overwhelmed her thoughts, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
