After Xu Tingchuan sighed softly, he released Ni Sitian's hand, sat up from her, his head slightly drooping and his back a little bent.

Ni Sitian sat up and was a little stunned to see him suddenly so depressed and downcast.

Everything was fine just now, but it all changed because she didn't affirm him?

Ni Sitian frowned slightly, recalling what she had read in that comic book before: men are easily discouraged by such confidence.

But what could she do? Should she tell him that she was happy doing it with him?

Just thinking about it made her face burn, so she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Ni Sitian lowered her eyes, clutching the blanket, thinking about how best to say it.

The room fell silent, a silence that felt somewhat awkward.

"Um..." Ni Sitian couldn't stand the atmosphere any longer and couldn't help but speak up, but she didn't know what to say. She racked her brains and thought quickly, and finally blurted out, "Didn't you say you wanted me on top tonight? Don't you want me to?"

Xu Tingchuan remained silent, and Ni Sitian felt extremely awkward, having taken the initiative to invite him but receiving no response.

Her face flushed red, a mixture of embarrassment and anger on her face. She lay down on the bed, her back to him, thinking to herself: If you don't want it, then don't. Don't regret it!

Ni Sitian lay there for a while, thinking that Xu Tingchuan would still be unable to resist pouncing on her, but to her surprise, there was no movement behind her after a long time.

She frowned slightly and quietly turned her head to take a look. She saw that he was still in the same position, looking very lonely.

Is this really such a big blow?

She didn't say she didn't like doing it with him, but sometimes she felt he went too far and needed to be more restrained.

She turned her head back, rested her head on her arm, and thought about seeing who could outlast whom. She didn't believe he could sit like that all night.

With that thought in mind, Ni Sitian calmed herself down, intending to test her patience with him.

But after about ten minutes, she remembered all the good things he had done for her, and that she had originally intended to be good to him as well. Now, it seemed a bit unreasonable for her to be having this little tiff with him.

Ni Sitian pursed her lips, slowly sat up, turned to look at his back, her face flushed, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Xu Tingchuan, do you really want me to say it? Don't you know whether I'm happy or not?"

This statement is tantamount to indirectly admitting that she is very happy with him.

After she finished speaking, she blushed so much that even her neck turned red. She couldn't bring herself to say anything more explicit than that.

She waited quietly for his reaction, and when she saw his back suddenly tremble slightly, she was startled. Could it be that he was hurt because she hadn't admitted it earlier, and now he was crying?

Although Ni Sitian didn't believe that Xu Tingchuan would be such a fragile person, she was so worried that she didn't think things through. She quickly climbed to his side, put her arms around his shoulders, and stammered, "I, I like, I like being with you... I'm very happy."

She stammered and mumbled the word, but finally managed to say it.

No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard a soft "pfft" as Xu Tingchuan's laughter reverberated from behind her.

He was actually holding back laughter just now!!!

Ni Sitian let go of him, this time she was really angry and embarrassed, he actually lied to her!

She shoved him hard, knocking him off the bed, and threw a pillow at him. "Get out! Go sleep in the living room!"

Xu Tingchuan was pushed to the ground and hit in the face with pillows, but he still couldn't stop laughing. It was a very happy laugh, and his chest was shaking.
