The night was pitch black, and the sleepiness just wouldn't stop.
Bai Ye, whose eyelids were drooping, was about to put down his phone when a message from Luo Qingyan instantly woke him up.
She posted a selfie, a picture of a girl wearing a white Lolita dress.
Luo Qingyan: Senior! (?_?|||) I can't sleep.
White Night: Go count sheep.
Luo Qingyan: I just tried it, but the more I count, the less I can fall asleep.
They even tried replacing counting sheep with counting seniors, turning one senior into over a hundred, which made it even harder for them to sleep—they were just too excited! (●'?'●)
white night:……
Who told you to count like that?
Bai Ye: Go listen to some lullabies, you'll fall asleep after a few songs.
This trick is quite effective; Bai Ye has tried it and it almost always works.
Luo Qingyan: I've heard it, ╭(°A°`)╮ but I still can't sleep.
Bai Ye: What are you doing? You seem so excited tonight.
Luo Qingyan: I'm so excited just thinking about going on a date with my senior today! (??v??)
"We went on a date today?" Bai Ye's mind was buzzing. "It was just going to the cat cafe with you. Can you call that a date?"
Bai Ye: Wake up, that wasn't a date, it was just an older brother accompanying his younger sister out for fun.
Luo Qingyan: I won't listen! Senior is just going on a date with me today! o(o?`3?′o)?!!!
Bai Ye gave up struggling: Whatever makes you happy.
A few minutes later, Luo Qingyan sent another message.
Luo Qingyan: Senior, are you asleep?
Bai Ye: What do you think?
Luo Qingyan: Senior, may I call you?
Bai Ye: Calling so late?
Luo Qingyan: I want to hear your voice, senior. Please? Please, please! \\\\?( 'w' )? \/\///
Bai Ye rolled his eyes speechlessly. Did his voice have some kind of hypnotic magic?
But unable to resist the girl's stubbornness, Bai Ye had no choice but to initiate the call.
She hung up as soon as I dialed.
white night:???
What do you want to do?
Soon after, Luo Qingyan sent another video call request, which Bai Ye accepted.
Bai Ye asked in confusion, "Didn't you want to hear my voice? Is it necessary to start a video call?"
Luo Qingyan chuckled: "But wouldn't it be even better to hear your voice and see your handsome face at the same time?"
Bai Ye has been having seizures lately; this little girl really knows how to talk.
He is confident in his looks; while he wouldn't call himself handsome, he's certainly of average appearance.
No matter how much she praises him, he knows the truth in his heart.
He looked helplessly at the video in front of him, where Luo Qingyan was blinking and making funny faces.
"What are you trying to do, blinking your eyes like that?"
The little girl pouted unhappily: "Senior, you used to say my eyes were pretty! I blink so you can see them!"
Bai Ye asked in confusion, "Did I say that?"
How come he doesn't remember this?
Luo Qingyan feigned tears for the camera: "Senior, have you forgotten? I'm so sad. (o??????????o?????????)"
A black line appeared on Bai Ye's forehead: "Could your crying be any more fake?"
After hearing this, Luo Qingyan seriously considered the sad things in her life and tried to force out a small pearl.
In less than three seconds, her eyes welled up with tears, and she said pitifully, "Senior!"
Bai Ye's lips twitched. "You really can cry so easily?"
Women are indeed born actresses; they're made of water.
"I'm so heartbroken t_t, my senior actually forgot."
Bai Ye said helplessly, "Alright, alright, it's my fault. I shouldn't have forgotten what I said before."
Although he still couldn't remember when he had said it, comforting the little girl first was definitely the right thing to do.
Luo Qingyan pretended to wipe away her tears and asked in a sobbing voice, "Will you forget again, Senior?"
"I dare not forget, I dare not forget."
The little pearl in Luo Qingyan's eyes disappeared with lightning speed: "Hehe, senior, you said it yourself."
It's a real shame that this face-changing skill isn't used to perform Sichuan opera face-changing.
Bai Ye yawned sleepily: "Alright, I've heard the sound, can I go to sleep now?"
Luo Qingyan asked hopefully, "Senior, could you tell me a bedtime story?"
Bai Ye said speechlessly, "Are you a child? You still want to listen to bedtime stories?"
The little girl made a cute three-part pouting gesture towards the camera, and she even deliberately put a little extra pressure on her voice: "Please? Senior, please, please."
The sensation felt tingly and numb in Bai Ye's ears, causing him to blush involuntarily.
So cute.
He pretended to be serious, but the angle of his smile was harder to suppress than AK's: "Ahem, you have to go to sleep after you finish talking, understand?"
Who could resist a cute little girl's three-part flirting?
Anyway, Bai Ye couldn't refuse.
How can there be such a cute girl?
Bai Ye switched screens and started searching for bedtime stories online.
On the other side, Luo Qingyan rested her chin on her hands, lying on the bed with her legs bent and swaying in the air, looking very happy.
Hehe, the senior is so kind to them.
My senior's voice is so nice, what should I do? I feel even more unable to sleep.
It would be even better if I could sleep while cuddling with my senior, hehe!
Luo Qingyan couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
The thought of lying on top of her senior, her arms wrapped around his neck, and him gently embracing her back while whispering, "Baby," filled her with joy.
The scene was so beautiful that she could hardly believe it.
A few minutes later, Bai Ye found a decent bedtime story.
Bai Ye reminded him, "Lie down on the bed, I'm about to begin."
The little girl nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Mmm-hmm!"
Bai Ye began to tell the short stories she had found, and soon finished telling them.
Looking at the little girl's bright eyes, he sighed helplessly, "You're done telling the story, isn't it time to go to sleep?"
"Finished? So fast? I didn't even feel it!" the little girl said coquettishly. "Senior, can you tell me one more?"
Bai Ye can't stand being pouted; cute girls' pouting is too much for him.
Bai Ye said seriously, "Then I'll tell you one more. This is the last one. After I finish, it won't matter if you try to be cute anymore."
"Mmm-hmm!"
He quickly finished telling another short story.
He was so sleepy, his eyes were almost closing: "I'm going to turn off the video."
Luo Qingyan made a vow-like gesture: "Senior, please don't turn it off! I want to keep the call going, and I promise I won't make a sound to disturb your sleep."
Bai Ye hadn't expected such a request: "Huh?"
The little girl was very eager: "Okay? Okay? I just want to stay in touch with my senior."
Bai Ye frowned, but thinking it wouldn't affect him much, he let her have her way: "Alright, alright."
Goodnight, senior!
"Good night!"
Not long after, Bai Ye fell asleep.
The girl on the other side was extremely excited and couldn't sleep at all.
