Chapter 136: I Wanna Sleep with You.

Chapter 136

When they got home, YU Luobai had to leave first to prepare for his work commitment the next day, so he left with PENG He.

HE Yi was the one who entered the house with her. After being away for a month, there was a moment of unfamiliarity when she stepped into the familiar place.

HE Yi changed into her indoor slippers and sat on the sofa, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

JI Nian knew what she wanted to say and asked, "Do you have something to say?"

HE Yi paused for a moment before slowly speaking, "Was that you in the video?"

"Yes, it was me," JI Nian admitted, as HE Yi knew JI Xiaonian too well before.

She didn't want to admit it earlier because she didn't want too many people to know, as she had lost her memory and couldn't answer many questions about her past.

HE Yi was shocked, even though she had already guessed it. Hearing the confirmation from JI Nian's own mouth still hurt her heart.

"Those people should be punished!" HE Yi said through gritted teeth.

"There's no way to hold them accountable," JI Nian shook her head. "They were only 15 or 16 years old back then. After all these years, there's no way to pursue responsibility for that."

It was the truth. How could they go after those students now? Even if she tried her best, she would only get an apology, which would be too late and meaningless since the people involved were no longer around.

"What about your family?" HE Yi asked, her eyes reddening.

JI Nian's hand holding the water glass paused. She had no family, neither in the past nor present. JI Xiaonian's family had never contacted her, and she had no way to reach them.

"You," JI Nian forced a carefree smile, "you are my family now."

HE Yi smiled through her tears and gave her a hug, saying, "Even after all this, you still have the heart to joke with me."

"I'm not joking," JI Nian patted her back, smiling.

"As long as you're in a good mood," HE Yi said, no longer dwelling on it. "Get some rest, I'll come by tomorrow."

JI Nian nodded, "Okay, bye."

Watching the house become quiet again, she felt a sense of emptiness. She stood up and went to the balcony to enjoy the view.

It was already quite cold in JINGDU in November. JI Nian, wearing a sweater with fleece lining, couldn't help but shiver as the cold wind blew.

YU Luobai's slightly hoarse voice said, "Nian Nian, I want to sleep with you."

JI Nian was taken aback, her face flushing red. She struggled out of his embrace and looked up at him, stammering, "Professor Yu, aren't we moving a bit too fast..."

Even though she was attracted to his physique, she wasn't quite mentally prepared for this.

YU Luobai, originally in a somber mood, was amused by her reaction. He tapped her head and said helplessly, "What are you thinking?"

JI Nian looked at him, puzzled.

"It's not the first time we've slept together," YU Luobai pinched her cheek.

JI Nian realized then that he just meant sleeping under the same blanket and talking, not anything more. Embarrassed, she said, "Then come in, Professor Yu."

YU Luobai was surprised, asking, "You're okay with me staying the night?"

JI Nian looked at him naturally, "It's not the first time we've slept together."

YU Luobai's lips curled into a smile as he ruffled her hair and went inside, closing the door behind him.

"Nian Nian," he said with a subtle undertone, "you're so obedient."

JI Nian noticed that he was wearing pajamas, which added a gentle touch to his usually aloof presence.

She curiously touched the fabric, "Professor Yu, your pajamas feel so soft."

"Do you like it?" YU Luobai pulled her into his embrace, smiling. "Then I'll get you a set."

JI Nian shook her head, "No need to waste money, I already have my own pajamas."

YU Luobai's smile deepened as he followed her to the bedroom, turning off the lights in the living room on the way.

JI Nian had gotten used to being around him, as they had been working together for over a month. She felt very comfortable and not at all uneasy.

The two of them lay on the bed, with JI Nian naturally leaning against YU Luobai's embrace. She took out her phone to read a novel.

YU Luobai hugged her from behind, watching along as she immersed herself in the story.

JI Nian felt very content. Being with YU Luobai made her feel a sense of security and that she would never be alone.

YU Luobai saw the random novels on her phone and couldn't help but shake his head in amusement, taking the phone and placing it on the bedside table.
