Just as Ni Sitian was about to succumb to the pressure of feeling guilty, Xu Tingchuan withdrew his gaze, looked at her, and said calmly, "Do you have time tomorrow night? I have a few friends who want to see you."
Ni Sitian was taken aback when she heard this. They had always seemed to maintain a subtle distance, with neither of them intending to infiltrate the other's other circles.
Even Xiang Zhilan had only met Xu Tingchuan once by chance, and she thought that their marriage was just a relationship maintained under the same roof.
"You don't want to?" Xu Tingchuan frowned slightly when she didn't answer.
Ni Sitian quickly shook her head, not so much because she was unwilling, but because she felt it was too sudden.
"Don't be too nervous, they're just a few good friends."
"Oh." Ni Sitian nodded and asked, "What time tonight?"
"I'll come pick you up after get off work," Xu Tingchuan said, and then his phone rang again.
So he answered the phone and went back to the study.
Ni Sitian patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief. Then she hurriedly took out the box from under the coffee table, looked around the living room, and realized there was nowhere else to hide it.
She carried the box to the bedroom, and saw that only the bottom drawer of her bedside table had a lock, but the box was too tall to fit inside.
Ni Sitian frowned, squatted down, opened the drawer, and cleaned out the contents.
Then she opened the box and put the comics in one by one. When she took out the last two, she suddenly noticed something was wrong with the bottom; they didn't seem to be comics anymore.
She moved the comic aside and saw that the bottom was completely filled with condoms!
Various brands, various models, various flavors, filled half the box!
There was also a note attached, written in Xiang Zhilan's handwriting, which read, "Enjoy to your heart's content."
Is this what she calls an idea?
Ni Sitian was completely exasperated, staring at the half-box of condoms, unsure of what to do.
Just then, she heard Xu Tingchuan's footsteps. Startled, she quickly poured the condoms into the drawer and hurriedly locked it.
Xu Tingchuan walked into the bedroom and saw Ni Sitian squatting by the bed. He raised an eyebrow with a half-smile and said, "Don't tell me you're exercising again?"
"Hehe, packing some things." She pretended to put the things she had taken out of the drawer into the cardboard box.
Xu Tingchuan glanced at her cardboard box but didn't expose her; it was acceptable for her to have some little secrets.
He turned and left, considerately giving her the space and time to hide her little secret.
Ni Sitian breathed a sigh of relief. If she were scared like that a few more times, she would have a heart attack!
He took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Xiang Zhilan: What are you doing? Why did you send all this stuff?!
After a while, Xiang Zhilan replied: Didn't you say you wanted to hint at it? He'll understand when he sees this.
Ni Sitian sighed, thinking, "This is the best kind of frenemies."
If Xu Tingchuan saw so many condoms and these kinds of comics, he would misunderstand and think she was extremely lustful.
A few seconds later, Xiang Zhilan sent another message: That comic book is perfect for newlyweds like you. Study it carefully and I wish you success! If it still doesn't work, I have a few more volumes here. For your happiness, I can reluctantly part with them.
Ni Sitian was speechless. To avoid her sending her random things again, she quickly typed a message and sent it: "Thank you for your help." Successfully sent.
Then Xiang Zhilan sent a voice message.
Ni Sitian opened the dessert, only to hear Xiang Zhilan's slightly excited voice: "You guys made it?! How did it feel?! Was his technique good?!"
What technology?
Xu Tingchuan's voice suddenly rang out, startling Ni Sitian so much that her hand trembled and she dropped her phone to the ground.
She was going crazy; she was really scared to death!
"N-nothing..." Ni Sitian's lips twitched twice, her face disheveled in the wind.
