Ni Sitian quickly turned around and went back into the bedroom.
Xu Tingchuan noticed that she seemed to be fleeing in panic, and she was even more easily embarrassed than before.
It felt like they had gone back to the time before they fell in love, that state of cautiously wanting to approach each other, yet being afraid to.
The feeling of first love.
Xu Tingchuan's eyes crinkled with an even deeper smile, and he became even more efficient as he focused on his work.
After finishing what he was doing, he got up and went back to his bedroom.
Ni Sitian was leaning against the headboard, flipping through a book. When she sensed him coming in, her heart started racing. She turned another page to hide her excitement, without looking up at him.
When Xu Tingchuan saw the blanket rolled up like a caterpillar, dividing the bed in two, he couldn't help but laugh. His little wife was really naive, thinking that a blanket like this could stop a man from doing anything to her.
He took his clothes to the bathroom, washed up, and returned to his bedroom.
They both smelled of the same shower gel, instantly filling the room with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Ni Sitian also noticed that this same fragrance gave people a special feeling of intimacy, as if they were blending together, and her heart suddenly beat faster.
Xu Tingchuan closed the bedroom door, instantly sealing off the space and making it even more ambiguous, even alluring.
Ni Sitian gripped the book tightly, her lips clenching with nervousness.
She was just covering herself with a quilt and sleeping, so why did she feel nervous like it was her wedding night?
Xu Tingchuan took a book from the drawer and sat down on the bed.
Ni Sitian felt the bed sink slightly as he sat on her. There was actually a meter between them, but for some reason, she felt his breath around her ear, and her ears turned red.
Neither of them spoke; the room was very quiet, and the howling of the wind outside against the windows was particularly clear.
Ni Sitian's mind wasn't on the pregnancy diary; her eyes couldn't help but steal glances at Xu Tingchuan.
She was quite good at sneaking glances; Xu Tingchuan didn't seem to notice.
A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips. When he lowered his eyes to read, he was very serious and focused. Although he didn't show any expression, she could actually see the gentleness behind his quiet demeanor.
His eyebrows, his eyes, his nose, his lips—every part of him was handsome; they were all perfectly proportioned to her liking.
He really is handsome, even more so than the male lead in that period drama she recently watched.
His handsomeness exudes a strong aura of elite, unlike the male protagonist who appears bookish and incompetent, all show and no substance.
As Ni Sitian looked at him, she felt that he looked very familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
For a moment, he forgot he was peeking and started looking at it carefully.
"Ni Sitian, if you keep staring at me like that, I'll start to get distracted," Xu Tingchuan said calmly without looking up.
Ni Sitian hurriedly averted her gaze; she had been staring blankly for a moment and had been caught red-handed.
However, he looked very familiar.
“Xu Tingchuan, haven’t we met somewhere before?” Ni Sitian blurted out the full name.
Xu Tingchuan raised his head, turned his face to look at her, and raised an eyebrow playfully: "We've not only met, we've also slept together."
“That’s not what I meant.” Ni Sitian frowned seriously.
Which one do you want to talk about?
“I think I’ve seen you when I was a child.” Ni Sitian had forgotten five years of her memories, but since she woke up, she remembered things from her childhood very clearly, probably because she was seventeen and close to childhood.
