His attitude was so good that even if Xu Moran still had a little anger in her heart, it had mostly subsided. "It's getting late, you should wash up and go to bed early too."

After eating something sweet, Xu Moran got out of bed to brush her teeth again, with Xu Ye following behind her.

She had just stepped into the bathroom when Xu Ye squeezed in as well.

Xu Moran turned around and asked Xu Ye in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Xu Ye gave Xu Moran a sly smile, "Ranran, of course I came to the bathroom to take a shower, but before I do, I need to squeeze toothpaste for you first."

As he spoke, he actually took the toothbrush that Xu Moran had already picked up and squeezed toothpaste onto it.

Seeing that he had already squeezed out the ointment and was about to put the toothbrush to Xu Moran's mouth, he was even planning to brush Xu Moran's teeth.

Xu Moran shuddered and snatched the toothbrush with lightning speed, saying, "I can do it myself."

Xu Moran brushed her teeth very quickly this time, finishing in no time, and then ran out of the bathroom as if escaping.

Just as she sat down on the bed, she heard Xu Ye calling her, "Ranran, I forgot to bring me a towel, could you please bring it to me?"

Could Xu Moran say no?

Of course not, because knowing Xu Ye's shamelessness, she knew very well that if she didn't give him a towel, Xu Ye would dare to come out naked... to get a towel.

Well, while pictures of handsome men emerging from the bath are certainly appealing, unfortunately, Xu Moran is too shy and has no interest in that area, so he can't appreciate them.

She quickly went to get Xu Ye's towel and delivered it to him.

He hung the towel on the bathroom doorknob and knocked on the bathroom door. "Xu Ye, I've hung the towel on the doorknob for you."

As soon as he turned around, Xu Mo's hand was grabbed by another hand. That hand was broad and warm; it was none other than Xu Ye.

But Xu Ye, having gotten the better deal, still acted innocent, saying, "Ranran, did you take the wrong one? Why is my towel so soft?"

Xu Moran, "..."

Those are her hands, okay? She just doesn't believe that a person's hands and a towel feel the same.

He forcefully pulled his hand away, and without looking back, rushed towards the room.

On the short walk from the bathroom back to the room, Xu Momo didn't know what happened, but he bumped into the corner of the dining table and overturned a chair.

When she sat back on the bed, the temperature on her face soared to a point where she could feel it burning hot.

She hadn't been sitting on the bed for long when she heard Xu Ye calling her again, "Ranran, I forgot to bring my pajamas, could you please get them for me?"

Xu Moran, "..."

If Xu Ye's earlier statement that he didn't bring a towel meant he simply didn't dry himself and came out of the bathroom in his pajamas, then his current claim that he didn't bring pajamas means he'll definitely come out of the bathroom completely naked.

Pictures of handsome men emerging from the bath? She didn't have the time or inclination to appreciate them all. Forget it, she'd better just hurry up and take his pajamas to him.

.

I looked at the sofa bed where Xu slept. The blankets were folded neatly, and the sheets had almost no large wrinkles visible to the naked eye. There were no pajamas on it at all.

Instead of yelling at Xu Ye, Xu Moran started looking for him himself.

Pajamas are usually on the bed, and since she didn't see them on the bed, she went to look under the pillow.

Upon searching, Xu Ye didn't find his pajamas, but he found something else: a book.

Out of curiosity, Xu Moran picked it up and took a look. Upon seeing the title, her surprise was no less than if she had seen neurosurgeon Dr. Li Shaojun reading a book titled "How to Care for Sows After Farrowing?"

Under Xu Ye's pillow was a book titled "72 Tips on How to Successfully Date."

Xu Moran took a deep breath, put the book back under Xu Ye's pillow, and went to the wardrobe to find pajamas.

Fortunately, after delivering the pajamas to Xu Ye, he didn't clamor for any other things. Xu Moran was wide awake and simply picked up a book to read.

Xu Ye quickly returned to the bedroom, unfolded the blankets and made the bed, also tidying up the pillows. As he did so, he suddenly froze, noticing the book under the pillow...

Because he had his back to Xu Moran, Xu Moran couldn't see his expression.

If you see it, the only word to describe it is "wonderful".

Indeed, Xu Ye's expression was quite interesting.

It's obvious who put this book there, just like when he was painting for people in People's Park. His subordinates couldn't stand it anymore and were trying their best to help their boss.

However, he... could actually use this book on picking up girls a little bit.

With his back to Xu Moran, he casually flipped to a page, where four words appeared: feigning indifference to desire.

Good heavens, the person who wrote this book must be very familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War, because Xu Ye casually flipped through another page and saw the scene of clearing the fields from the cliff.

Xu Ye has lived for over twenty years and has been pursued countless times. This is the first time he has seriously considered pursuing someone. Lacking practical experience, it is essential for him to learn from other people's experiences in books.

Xu Moran appeared to be engrossed in reading her book, but in reality, she was secretly glancing at Xu Ye from time to time.

She really wanted to ask about the book under his pillow, but she didn't dare.

Where exactly does the contradiction lie?

If you insist on her saying something, she can't quite put her finger on it; anyway, the conflict is just a feeling in her heart.

"Ranran." After making the bed, Xu Ye turned to Xu Moran and said, "It's getting late, let's get some rest."

Anyone who hasn't been in their room would misunderstand what they're saying. Doesn't "we should rest early" mean "we should rest early on the same bed in the same room"?

Actually, no, they share a bedroom but sleep in separate beds.
