The dark room was silent for half a minute.

Jian Zhizhen suddenly lifted her head from his embrace, her hot breath gently brushing against his neck, her tone calm and natural: "Bai Bai, when we get back you have to teach me how to be crazy **."

"..." The device on Qin Yubai's wrist lit up with an extremely dangerous red light.

Even after turning off the smart assistant, which wasn't as sensitive, it still sensed how fast Qin Yubai's heart was beating, exceeding what a healthy person could tolerate.

He took a deep breath, his voice trembling: "Could you please not say these things to me in the dead of night, in the dark, when we're alone in bed... with this innocent face full of curiosity?"

Jian Zhizhen pressed her chest tightly against his and asked, "When can we tell you?"

Qin Yubai gently hugged her, resting his head on top of hers, not daring to look into her clear eyes in the moonlight.

"You don't need to say it, it will happen naturally when the time is right."

The person in his arms was probably startled by his extremely rapid heartbeat and remained quiet for a while.

Once his heartbeat slowed down, she started again: "Bai Bai. Are you like those domineering CEOs in novels, able to stay up all night?"

Then, his heart started pounding again.

He felt like he was walking on the edge of death.

He coldly uttered two words: "Shut up."

This was the first time in his life that he had spoken harshly to her.

Jian Zhizhen was somewhat dissatisfied and didn't want to face him anymore. She struggled in his arms, trying to turn over.

Qin Yubai gritted his teeth: "Can you please stop moving around?"

This was only the second time in his life that he had spoken harshly to her.

Jian Zhizhen realized something and, out of courtesy, stopped moving.

But he simply gave a cold "humph".

I don't know if it's anger, resentment, or contempt.

"..." Qin Yubai now truly understood.

It turns out his AI assistant's analysis was correct.

She was just pretending to be weak to take advantage of others; she did it on purpose.

His childhood sweetheart has grown up, and her methods of bullying him have evolved. She now uses her advantages to feign innocence, leaving him flustered and helpless.

His hand rested on her waist, gently pulling her into his embrace.

If it weren't for the camera overhead...
