In her daze, she felt warm, as if she were wrapped in a warm cocoon. Suddenly, she opened her sleepy eyes. “Big Brother…?”

Rong Si started and immediately looked at her.

Why is she awake?

Seeing Rong Si’s eyes open without a trace of sleepiness, Su Jiu could not help but feel puzzled. She called out sleepily again, “Big Brother?”

Her voice was soft. Rong Si suddenly felt even more uncomfortable. He let go of her and sat up in bed.

Su Jiu still did not understand what was going on. She quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Where are you going?”

Rong Si didn’t turn to look at her. He didn’t want her to see his hot face. Embarrassed, he said, “I realized I couldn’t sleep with you.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Idiot,” Rong Si couldn’t help but say. He turned to look at her puzzled expression. “I can’t sleep with you.”

The stunned Su Jiu couldn’t help but laugh. “Can’t sleep? What are you thinking about, Big Brother? Tell me. Are your thoughts causing you trouble sleeping? What are you thinking about?”

Rong Si was speechless.

What am I thinking about? Could I tell her?

Would she think he was a despicable man if he did?

He could only answer. “Not telling you.”

Hearing his awkward tone, Su Jiu suddenly felt that such a little villain was adorable. She smiled even more happily. Moving behind him, she wrapped her arms around his neck. “Big Brother, let me guess. Are you… thinking about something you shouldn’t be thinking about?”

Her warm breath brushed against his ear. Rong Si tensed, and his heart beat faster.

Rong Si tried to compose himself. He was no longer the child he had once been. He could be called a man now. He could no longer be shy in front of her.

So, once he had composed himself, he turned to look at her, his deep eyes on her face. “What do you mean by something you shouldn’t think about, huh?”

Su Jiu choked.

He had asked suddenly, and for a moment, she did not know how to answer him.

Rong Si deliberately added, “If you know, tell me.”

Meeting his dark and beautiful eyes and hearing his meaningful words, Su Jiu suddenly felt even more embarrassed. “Rong Si, you’re playing dumb!”

“I really don’t know what you mean,” Rong Si said primly.

“Y-y-you… You have to know. You’re just pretending to be stupid! Rong Si, keep pretending! You probably also forgot why you couldn’t sleep, didn’t you?”

“I really forgot.”

Su Jiu glared at him. What is going on? I wanted to tease him, but in the end, I’m the one getting teased by him. In the end, I became the clown!

“Since you’ve forgotten, think about it! We’ll talk when you remember. I’m going to sleep first.” Su Jiu pretended to be sleepy and closed her eyes again.

Rong Si leaned down close to her and pinched her cheek. “Are you really not going to tell me?”

“I told you to think about it yourself!” Su Jiu opened her eyes and glared at him.

Rong Si pinched her chin. “I also said I couldn’t think of anything.”

“Okay, enough! You win. Let’s not discuss this topic, okay?” Su Jiu reached out to stop him.

Rong Si suddenly laughed and got out of bed. Su Jiu quickly asked, “Where are you going?”

Rong Si looked back at her. After a pause, he said hoarsely, “I have to take a shower.”

Su Jiu was stunned. A shower?

At this hour?

Wait a minute! He’s not… going to put out the fire by taking a cold shower like in the novels, is he?
