He gently brushed the stray hairs from Shuying's ear with one hand, lightly pinching her ear as if it were nothing. His magnetic voice made the little girl in his arms feel a little dizzy.

So much so that even the initial anger had vanished.

Shu Ying still didn't understand. She reluctantly pouted and said, "I'm not such a vicious person as to force you to do any strenuous exercise. Besides, it's already so late, and I can't possibly make you train anymore. You're making it sound like I'm mistreating you. That reason doesn't hold water at all."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Zhiyan casually tossed aside the blanket and pillow, picked Shu Ying up horizontally with one hand, and carefully protected her back with the other.

Suddenly, her feet left the ground, and Shu Ying gasped softly. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around Xie Zhiyan's neck, and their foreheads pressed tightly together.

Xie Zhiyan sat on the edge of the bed, and Shu Ying naturally nestled in his arms, even sitting directly on his lap facing him.

This posture was too intimate, and Shu Yingli felt neither justified nor assertive.

Her eyes drifted to the headboard, and she tried to get up, but Xie Zhiyan held her tightly in his arms.

He tilted his head slightly, his handsome features reflected in Shu Ying's pupils, and the orange-yellow light from the roof illuminated them.

Xie Zhiyan smiled, his voice indescribably pleasant. He leaned close to Shu Ying's ear and whispered, "Now you know? Sometimes intense exercise isn't just training."

Shu Ying's expression was incredibly varied, starting with disbelief in her eyes, followed by a gradual blush on her face.

Then she felt extremely uncomfortable, and if Xie Zhiyan hadn't been holding her tightly, she probably would have jumped up long ago.

What on earth is going on in this person's head?

How could it be so terrifying!

She murmured, realizing she had been too slow to understand: "Then, what are you waiting for? It's so late, why don't you go back to sleep?"

Shu Ying placed her hands on Xie Zhiyan's chest, with some distance between them.

Xie Zhiyan put one arm around her waist, making her sit closer to him, and their bodies pressed tightly together. Shu Ying felt hot all over.

She frantically tried to run away, but when she saw the smile on Xie Zhiyan's face, she felt even more embarrassed and wanted to disappear into the ground.

How could anyone be so stupid?

She dug a hole for herself and happily jumped in!

Xie Zhiyan seemed very happy, his face showing a hint of pleasure. It was clear that Shu Ying was shy, and even had a bit of panic on her face. He didn't intend to make things difficult for her anymore.

He released his grip, and the person in his arms seemed to have been propelled by a rocket, instantly teleporting out of his arms.

Shu Ying glanced at him every now and then, then hopped over like a rabbit and sat down next to him.

Her skirt was as disheveled as she was, the white fabric revealing glimpses of her figure.

Especially under the light, the white nightgown was like a canvas, revealing the even more graceful curves of her body.
