A familiar warmth lay beside her, and Xia Yanchun slept very comfortably.
With her hands and feet all toasty, she dozed for a while, and her breathing gradually became even and steady.
Curled up in Shen Nian's arms was comfortable at first, but maintaining that position for a long time became uncomfortable. Before Shen Nian had even fallen asleep, Xia Yanchun began to squirm in his embrace, shifting from lying on her side to lying stiffly straight.
Her pajamas draped over her, outlining the most youthful curves of the girl. Shen Nian chose to pay his respects for a moment before gently pulling the quilt over her, quietly covering her whole body.
Hah, Chunchun really is adorable even when asleep.
Shen Nian also turned over, staring blankly at the ceiling. The room was exceptionally quiet, with only moonlight seeping in from outside the curtains.
He had slept with Xia Yanchun in his own room.
Hmm... it really was somewhat hard to imagine. After all, before this, it was always him being shameless, going to Xia Yanchun's house, pestering and annoying her, just to be able to stay overnight in her room.
Another big step forward towards being the number one best in the world.
...
The next day, Xia Yanchun woke up groggily. She instinctively stretched out her hand and accidentally touched Shen Nian's body, startling her into immediately pulling it back.
The sky wasn't fully light yet. A glance at her phone showed it was just past 5 a.m.
Xia Yanchun had slept wonderfully, and her eyelids didn't feel heavy at all... She felt that even if she didn't go back to sleep, she could stay energetically awake until a noon nap without any problem.
What's going on? Is sleeping with Shen Nian always this comfortable? It was like this at her home, and now in Shen Nian's room too...
Xia Yanchun hummed softly, carefully picking up Shen Nian's large hand that was wrapped around her abdomen. She handled it gently, lifting and placing it down lightly, trying not to wake him.
This guy's hand had even slipped inside her pajamas! Doesn't he know a girl's stomach is very sensitive? Stupid Shen Nian can't even sleep properly. I'll definitely scold him harshly later.
But actually... it felt kind of warm and comfortable...
"Hoo..."
Shen Nian's breathing suddenly became a bit louder. Xia Yanchun immediately pretended to be asleep, thinking he was about to wake up. But Shen Nian just shifted his body a little, showing no signs of waking at all.
Oh right, he said he wasn't exercising today, that's why he didn't get up so early.
Xia Yanchun was sleeping on the outer side of the bed. Shen Nian's phone was on the bedside table. She pressed it lightly to wake the screen but didn't see any alarm he had set.
Would he really wake up naturally?
Xia Yanchun's inner troublemaker personality stirred, wanting to tease Shen Nian, but she was also afraid of waking him up. This feeling of restraint made her conflicted. After hesitating repeatedly, she decided to go back to sleep for a while.
But as her eyes swept around, she immediately froze for a moment. She quietly turned her back to Shen Nian, blinked, and her little face flushed red.
Even though she knew since middle school that boys have normal morning physiological reactions, it's still really weird, okay? Especially with such a thick quilt covering it.
Certain images inappropriately invaded her mind again. Xia Yanchun shyly buried her face in the quilt. She never thought that going back to sleep would one day become such a difficult task for her.
Even though she tried hard not to recall, the things she couldn't forget just wouldn't go away. Her mind kept uncontrollably getting poetic, giving Shen Nian a mental scolding.
She tried her best not to make a sound, lying quietly with her back to Shen Nian, counting her own little thoughts.
She hadn't been turned away for more than a few minutes when the mattress made a faint creak. Movement came from behind her, and Xia Yanchun knew Shen Nian was awake.
He really woke up naturally, impressive!
If she weren't sleeping with Shen Nian, Xia Yanchun absolutely, positively would not wake up naturally at 5 a.m. Waking up at this hour usually meant something was uncomfortable. Even if she did wake up, she would go back for a comfortable extra sleep.
Anyone who can wake up naturally at this hour and not go back to sleep will succeed at anything they do.
"Awake?" Shen Nian's soft voice came from behind. Xia Yanchun instantly held her breath, her heartbeat gradually speeding up.
H-How did he find out?!
Scared to death.
"Not awake? That's great, hehehe..."
How many Soul Palace elders do you have for breakfast?!
Xia Yanchun was too weak to retort mentally because Shen Nian had already brazenly leaned over, cautiously pressing against her back. One large hand also snaked around to her abdomen, lightly lifting the hem of her clothes.
!
What the hell are you doing?!
"Chunbao..."
His breath was warm by her ear. Shen Nian blew warm air into her ear while his hand kneaded and squeezed her stomach. Xia Yanchun was terrified. The tips of her ears visibly turned red, and her heartbeat became uncontrollably lively.
Having her stomach rubbed was something Xia Yanchun could actually pretend didn't happen, but Shen Nian was getting more and more outrageous. He actually licked her ear... Anyone who could keep pretending to sleep after that would be a superhuman.
Daring to get fresh with your Sister Chun, huh?
Furious and embarrassed, Xia Yanchun pulled his hand out from under her clothes, curled her legs, and sat up. She turned and slapped his head, glaring at him fiercely. "Waking me up first thing in the morning, what exactly do you want?"
Shen Nian acted dumb. "I thought you were dead asleep."
"And what did you want to do if I was 'dead asleep'? Peeping in the daytime isn't enough for you? Go die, you creep!"
Xia Yanchun's scolding barrage even made Shen Nian blush.
He just wanted to tease Chunbao and get close. Hah, Chunchun had already thought that far ahead. For a moment, it was hard to tell who was the real pervert.
"Shh, shh, shh! My sister might hear!"
"Hmph!" Xia Yanchun snorted lightly, tucking the hair by her ear behind it, and lowered her voice to scold, "Didn't I say last night you'd be dead if you woke me up?"
Shen Nian scratched his head. "It wasn't on purpose..."
"Your hand was almost going up further, and you say it wasn't on purpose!" Xia Yanchun adjusted her clothes again.
Shen Nian stayed silent, just playing dumb.
The moment he woke up and saw Hah Chunchun sleeping with her back to him, he knew she was already awake.
The terrifying observational skills from +3 Agility, the power of external aids, my friend.
Hah Chunchun was just clowning around pretending. She should find a red ball and stick it on her own nose.
But then again, she woke up so early, she probably didn't see anything, right? It was under the quilt... should be fine.
Still, it was quite a surprise that Xia Yanchun was up this early. The sky outside had just begun to brighten. He tilted his head again. "How come you're up so early today?"
"You woke me up!" Xia Yanchun stated boldly, despite her shaky reasoning.
"Ahem, my fault, my fault. Shh, sleep a little more. I'll wake you at ten past six to go change. I'll get up first and make you a bowl of sweet soup."
As Shen Nian spoke, he started to lift the quilt.
This terrified Xia Yanchun. She immediately squinted her eyes, flusteredly turned her face away, her eyes darting everywhere except towards Shen Nian.
Shen Nian was stunned, slowly forming a question mark in his mind.
Is you turning your face away a serious action?
Even if Shen Nian were the densest, he understood everything now. The whole world seemed to instantly lose its color.
The sky has fallen. So this world is this boring? Life feels meaningless. Hah, might as well jump.
Later, going downstairs for school, I won't take the elevator or the stairs.

I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously?
