Deep into the night, Lu Weixi had already fallen asleep. She thought she sensed something rustling nearby. Her sleep was light, and she struggled to sit fully awake, sure enough, there was a man beside her—Qin Zhiyou.

He had been away from home for several days. Apparently, he’d just taken a shower; beads of water still lingered in his hair. When he noticed her wake, he merely knitted his brows without speaking a word, continuing to dress in his pajamas and dry his hair.

Lu Weixi turned to glance at the wall clock: two in the morning. Her voice, still groggy, croaked, “You’re back?”

“Mm.” Upon her speaking, he lazily responded. He threw his towel into the dirty laundry basket, turned his head to look at her, with a hint of a smile on his lips and said, “Why, did you miss me coming back to do ‘multiple-choice questions’ with you?”

Lu Weixi was sleepily disoriented. It took her a long while and some mental gymnastics to figure out the connotation of his euphemism—’multiple-choice questions’, momentarily stupefied as she realized it. This man… Bamboozled by his remark, she thought, does he feel discomfort if he doesn’t allude to such things every few sentences?

Before she could respond, Qin Zhiyou swiftly moved over to her.

Still in a daze, Lu Weixi abruptly woke up from his advance and sat upright immediately, “Qin Zhiyou, you…”

But her protest was cut short as Qin Zhiyou, with fast reflexes, grabbed hold of her arms.

Lu Weixi initially resisted but, ultimately, it was to no avail.

“Qin Zhiyou, don’t…”

The color in Qin Zhiyou’s eyes shifted, his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, with the glint in his pupils flickering a few times.

When Lu Weixi opened her eyes, Qin Zhiyou in front of her was slightly frowning. His lips were tightly sealed; when he noticed her gaze directly staring at him, he slightly turned his head, as if he didn’t want to look at her. Although his face bore an unhappy expression, his body language was markedly honest.

She did not dare to move either. She was scheduled to meet with a client early the next morning. She had to be at their place for arrangements by nine o’clock. It was already past two, and she didn’t have many hours left to sleep. She didn’t want to upset her day’s work due to this.

After a while, Qinzhiyou’s breathing gradually steadied, then, he turned back, his eyes still cool, but his face looked even worse.

Finally, he released her, “Lu Weixi, you really….”
