"I can't sleep," she said, trying to start a conversation with him.
"Should I coax him to sleep?" he asked in a low voice.
Ning Qiluo took the hand that was poking his fingertips away and gently poked his chest instead: "No need to coax me, I just want to chat with you."
"It's so late, Mrs. Jiang," he reminded her helplessly.
Ning Qiluo didn't care how late it was. Compared to her previous life of staying up all night surfing the internet, this was just the beginning of her nightlife. Plus, she had just finished a battle online, so she was full of energy.
She insisted on talking to him: "I want to tell you what's on my mind, don't be so insensitive."
"What are you trying to say... Do you want to know how much savings I have, how many exes I've had, or...?"
Upon hearing these words, Ning Qiluo immediately turned over.
Jiang Yingchi chuckled softly: "Why aren't you asking anymore?"
Ning Qiluo, with her back to him, raised her hand and waved: "Ugh, so annoying, I'm going to sleep, I'm so sleepy."
"You're going to sleep already? Didn't you say you wanted to talk to me about your feelings?"
Jiang Yingchi was deliberately being so persistent, leaving Ning Qilu speechless and unable to respond.
Jiang Yingchi moved closer to her and put his arm around her, but Ning Qiluo pushed him away, saying, "I'm so hot. You're so close to me, it makes me even hotter."
"Little brat, you're still holding a grudge?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, I'm going to sleep." She kept saying she was going to sleep, but ignored him.
Jiang Yingchi stopped disturbing her and let her sleep, while he turned to his side.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Jiang Yingchi noticed a claw on his body. Then, the claw began to grope him restlessly. He knew it was intentional, but he didn't say anything and let it fuss over him.
After exploring for a while, it seemed unsatisfied and climbed all over him, though it wasn't as arrogant.
Jiang Yingchi: "..."
He carefully supported her stomach with one hand and held her waist with the other, then asked her, "Didn't you just say you were asleep? Are you sleepwalking?"
She'll get caught sooner or later, but thankfully Ning Qiluo isn't embarrassed at all right now.
After realizing he was supporting her, she became even more unrestrained, muttering to herself, "I actually wanted to ask you, but I felt it would be pointless. Anyway, I already know what you've done. Compared to your dedication and hard work, I find that many things make sense. I even feel that I'm not good enough for you, really, Jiang Yingchi."
Her tone was somewhat serious.
Jiang Yingchi didn't insist on what she said; she just happened to overhear her words and told her:
"There's a saying that's true: the one who falls in love first has already lost. I was just deluding myself first."
She lay on his chest, and his palm slowly moved upward, stroking her hair.
Like a cat being stroked, Ning Qiluo rubbed against his palm as it covered hers, saying firmly, "But the best love is mutual. Look, ours is one-sided. Aren't you at a disadvantage?"
“A little,” he said.
He paused for a moment, then added, "So, considering how hard I've tried to reach you, you should also try to reach me from now on. Wouldn't that make it a two-way street?"
Ning Qiluo leaned in and kissed his chin: "Why wait until later to run towards you? I've been running towards you for a long time, but there's not much I can do. But I will love you with all my heart."
"You have to keep your word." His voice clearly became more cheerful.
Ning Qiluo said firmly, "Of course! If it doesn't count, to put it childishly, I'll turn into a little turtle; to put it more seriously, I'll... well..."
His mouth was gagged.
Jiang Yingchi pecked her on the corner of her lips.
It was very light, yet it was very domineering, making Ning Qiluo's heart flutter.
So she kissed him back, her lips close to his ear, and said, "I'm prone to making mistakes in everything I do, but loving you is never a mistake. If you don't believe me, invest in this relationship; you definitely won't lose out."
Jiang Yingchi chuckled softly and said, "Then I'll invest, and never withdraw my shares."
