Ni Sitian suddenly lay down, pulling the blanket over her head, trying to block out his laughter, but his laughter seemed to reach her heart, making her heart tremble as well.

Xu Tingchuan laughed for a while, then got up from the floor, hugged his pillow, climbed onto the bed, and crawled to Ni Sitian's pillow. Through the blanket, he whispered in Ni Sitian's ear, "Since that thing makes you happy, how could you bear to let me sleep in the living room, hmm?"

Even though there was a blanket between them, Ni Sitian felt as if his breath was right next to her ear.

"Are you really angry?" Xu Tingchuan tugged at the blanket, but she held on tightly and he couldn't pull it away. He softened his voice, "Don't be angry, okay?"

Ni Sitian shifted her position, ignoring him. If she forgave him so easily, he would surely lie to her to death in the future.

"Sitian." Xu Tingchuan pulled her into his arms through the blanket and whispered, "Sitian, don't be angry."

Ni Sitian felt that every time he changed his name, she felt that her name was composed of the two most beautiful-sounding characters in the world.

"Sweetie?" Xu Tingchuan held her hand through the blanket and tried to call her by her nickname in a low voice.

Thinking back to when Qin Mubei called her Sisi before, she didn't want to repeat that name. Besides, she felt that Tiantian suited her better, just like her personality—soft and sweet.

When Ni Sitian heard him call her "Sweetie," her heart skipped a beat. How could he call her that so sweetly?

"Don't be angry, okay?" Xu Tingchuan said in his unique tone, which sounded a bit like he was being coquettish.

Ni Sitian's heart softened easily, and she was just about to forgive him when he unexpectedly said, "Don't be angry. Let's do something that will make us happy, okay?"

Get lost! Who wants to be happy with you!

Ni Sitian roared inwardly, ignoring him, and broke free from his embrace to move away.

After a while, she sensed that Xu Tingchuan didn't seem to intend to get closer to her anymore.

Is this all the sincerity you have in trying to appease people?

Ni Sitian pouted, looking a little displeased.

A little while later, she heard what sounded like turning pages of a book outside the blanket.

She frowned. This jerk wasn't going to comfort her anymore; he was going to read a book!

She felt suffocated, as if she couldn't breathe properly after being under the covers for so long, but she was unwilling to leave like this, otherwise he would think she had forgiven him.

"This book is really good." Xu Tingchuan leaned against the headboard, flipping through the pages, glanced at Ni Sitian, and praised her.

Ni Sitian didn't take it seriously. He could see that it was all so obscure and difficult to understand, so how would she know if it was good or not?

"Wow, I didn't know you could play around with a balcony like this," Xu Tingchuan exclaimed.

Ni Sitian wondered, "Does the book also describe how to play on the balcony?"

"Won't it feel awkward at the dinner table?" Xu Tingchuan was somewhat disapproving of the location, thinking that the woman would definitely be uncomfortable.

Ni Sitian frowned. What book was he reading? She couldn't understand a word of it.

"The bathroom is nice, but I've already tried it," Xu Tingchuan continued flipping through the pages.

What nonsense is this? Ni Sitian was completely confused.

"You were locked in the room just now, you must have been looking for this page, right?" Xu Tingchuan opened the book and held it up to Ni Sitian's pillow.

Ni Sitian finally understood what he was looking at, and she immediately exploded, throwing off the covers.

The first thing you see is the page where the female protagonist is sitting on the male protagonist, leaning back with her head slightly tilted back, her kimono half-undone, and her expression seemingly very intoxicated.
