Seeing that Catherine was walking out, Simon quickly stopped her. “Fourth Sister, don’t go!”

If she left, the night would have been wasted!

Seeing Simon was stopping her from leaving, Catherine turned around in confusion and asked, “Is there anything else?”

Simon blinked his eyes and put on a pitiful look. “Well, Fourth Sister, I just had a nightmare.”

“Can you stay here with me for a while?”

When Catherine heard this, she remembered the journal she had read before. It said that the surrounding environment would affect people’s dreams.

She thought that she had intruded into the room without permission and disturbed Simon, causing him to have nightmares.

Her heart was filled with guilt. She sat by the bed and said, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll stay here with you.”

“You won’t be afraid if we talk about something happy.”

“Thank you, Fourth Sister. You’re so good to me.”

“Silly child.” Catherine looked at Simon gently. “We’re family. Of course, I have to be good to you.”

Simon felt a warmth in his heart. He had just transmigrated when the original host’s parents passed away.

During university, he only cared about his studies and was not close to his roommates.

Now, he suddenly had an aunt and sisters. Although the aunt and sisters always wanted to arrange his marriage, he still felt at home.

“But what should we talk about? Why don’t you let me tell you a joke?” Catherine suggested.

“Okay.”

Simon had a faint sense of anticipation. A joke told by a genius student should be very meaningful.

Seeing that he was very happy, Catherine cleared her throat and said with a smile.

“Then I’ll tell you my best joke. Listen well.”

“One hot summer day, two bananas were walking on the road, and the banana in front suddenly felt very hot.”

“He said, ‘it’s so hot, I want to take off my clothes.'”

“Then he peeled the skin off and the banana at the back fell. Hahahaha! Isn’t that funny!”

After Catherine told the joke, she covered her stomach and laughed hysterically.

In the summer, Simon shivered and said with a dry smile, “That’s funny…”

What a corny joke…

But Catherine felt that it was funny, and the laughter grew louder and louder, and it didn’t stop for a long time.

Simon was worried that it would disturb the people downstairs and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

He covered Catherine’s mouth and asked her to keep quiet.

“Fourth Sister, your laughter is too loud. It will disturb others.”

“Oh, oh.” Catherine nodded and said embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, it’s not funny, right?”

“No, it’s quite funny. I’m in a much better mood.”

Simon said it was funny, but there was no smile on his face.

Catherine felt a little embarrassed. She usually read boring theses and periodicals and rarely saw jokes.

If she didn’t make Simon laugh on that night, it would be a waste of her high education!

“Let me tell you another joke!”

“Alright…”

Seeing that Catherine was full of confidence, Simon could only cooperate.

However, she really didn’t have the talent to tell jokes.

After telling him several jokes, she was the first to laugh. She laughed until she was out of breath, and Simon was dumbfounded when he heard it.

After listening to a few of them with great difficulty, Simon was so bored that he was about to fall asleep.

[Ding! Catherine has completed the late-night signing mission and obtained a treasure box!]

At this moment, the system notification sounded. Simon suddenly came back to his senses from his half-asleep state. It turned out that they had spent enough time.

Looking at Catherine again, she was also stunned. Simon knew that she had also received a reward.

[Ding! Congratulations to Target for completing the late-night signing-in mission. Reward: Fade black eye circles +5]

Eh?

Only completed now?

Catherine secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, Simon stopped her, or the mission would have failed!

But in the darkness, Catherine could not see how her skin had become better.

On the contrary, her heart was filled with frustration.

She tried hard to tell a joke to Simon, but he was actually about to fall asleep. He didn’t give her any face at all!

Thinking of this, Catherine took the opportunity to lie down on the bed, her graceful figure lying in front of Simon.

What was going on?

Why was she lying down after receiving the reward?

“Fourth Sister, are you alright?”

“Hmph!” Catherine said with a smile and dissatisfaction, “Are my jokes that boring? You’re already asleep!”

So it was because of this.

The top student’s desire to win was really strange.

Simon didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “No, it’s time to sleep now.”

“I don’t care!” Catherine said shamelessly, “I can’t sleep now, you have to take responsibility!”

Taking responsibility for what?

She shouldn’t say such misleading words in the middle of the night.

Simon shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, “Then Fourth Sister, lie down.”

Huh?

Now, it was Catherine’s turn to be speechless.

Her face was red and her eyes were wide open. She said shyly, “I have lie down properly… What are you going to do?”

Realizing that she had misunderstood, Simon waved his hand and said, “Didn’t you say that you couldn’t sleep? I know a set of massage techniques that can help you sleep.”

“After I help you massage, you can sleep.”

“Massage? You even know this?” Catherine asked suspiciously.

“I’ve learned one or two moves,” Simon said modestly.

He had never used the expert-level massage technique that the system had rewarded him last time.

He took this opportunity to test it.

Unintentionally, Simon had actually spoken to Catherine’s heart.

Previously, in order to research the subject, she couldn’t sleep at night and couldn’t wake up during the day. Her biological clock was completely messed up.

When it came to night, she was full of energy and did not feel sleepy at all.

When she heard that Simon knew how to massage, Catherine was a little tempted. When she thought that there would be physical contact, her face turned red again.

“Alright then.” She obediently leaned against the place where Simon had just slept.

He did not expect Catherine to agree so readily. Simon was a little excited and stared at the shiny back.

She did not seem to be wearing anything under her vest.

After looking at it for a few seconds, Simon coughed lightly and turned his head away in embarrassment.

He knelt beside Catherine and held her slender waist with both hands, pressing his thumb on the acupuncture points.

“Yes!” Catherine could not help but snort softly and laughed, “It’s so itchy!”

“Endure it for a while, Fourth Sister. If I use force, it won’t itch anymore.”

“Okay.” Catherine buried her face into the pillow and bit her lips, trying hard not to laugh out loud because of the itch.

Simon’s fingers exerted force and slid up and down Catherine’s waistline.

It had to be said that the Bennet family’s genes were very good.

Even if Catherine spent all day reading research materials and basically did not participate in any exercise, her curvaceous figure was still able to kill a large group of girls in an instant.

She was a true beauty scholar.

“Fourth Sister, do you feel better?” Simon pressed on Catherine’s spine and gently pressed down.

“It’s numb and swollen, but it’s so comfortable,” Catherine said shyly as she bit the pillow.

Simon’s hands seemed to have magic power. It was so comfortable that she almost cried out.

Moreover, her eyelids were very heavy. She really wanted to sleep.

No, it was still too early to sleep in Simon’s room!

Thinking of this, Catherine got up with a red face and shyly pushed Simon away.

She ran away.

Simon stared at the open door in confusion.

She was about to fall asleep, why was she suddenly awake?
