I'm going to make a scene

Xia Yanchun was still in a lingering state of afterglow, and it took her two seconds to understand Shen Nian's meaning.

Evolve? Con... confess?

We've already expressed our feelings for each other several times, and you're just now thinking about confessing?

Xia Yanchun let out a breath and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Does confessing have any other meaning?" Shen Nian rubbed his chin, falling deep into thought.

Confession, as the name implies, is just declaring your love, isn't it? Declaring your love, as the name implies, is just a confession, right?

"I, I mean..." Xia Yanchun twiddled her fingers. "Why are you suddenly talking about confessing..."

"Then I won't do it."

"??"

Crazy guy.

Xia Yanchun felt a bit displeased; that stinky Shen Nian was making fun of her again.

She secretly sulked, leaving Shen Nian to guess what was wrong.

Seeing her depressed and silent, Shen Nian started talking to himself again.

"I just feel like we're missing something, don't you think? Damn, we're not even boyfriend and girlfriend, yet we're always doing this and that together. Plus, you want me to call you sister, making it seem like some kind of incest—"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Xia Yanchun quickly interrupted him, covering his mouth with her two small hands so he couldn't say anything more shocking.

This guy was exactly like this: whenever it was just the two of them, he dared to say anything. In middle school, he talked about forcing himself on her, and now he was blabbering about taboo things. Did he have no shame at all?!

"It's so sudden. Then, then what's your plan? Are you just going to confess to me directly?"

Shen Nian nodded, not looking like he was acting.

Xia Yanchun was a bit at a loss. They had just clearly expressed their feelings for each other, but now she was starting to feel shy and awkward.

Confessing or whatever...

We're already hugging each other right now, is there still a need for this?

A confession is just two people telling each other they like each other. Did what she and Shen Nian just do count as a kind of confession?

Xia Yanchun sat up straight and cleared her throat. "Then go ahead, I'm listening."

Shen Nian also sat up straight. For some unknown reason, the atmosphere became formal.

"Xia Yanchun, I like you." Shen Nian took a deep breath. "Be my girlfriend."

"No."

"Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have confessed."

"Hahahahaha!"

Xia Yanchun suddenly pounced onto Shen Nian. "Your confession was way too casual, do it again!"

"I won't. If you don't be my girlfriend, I'm going to throw a tantrum."

Xia Yanchun rested both hands on Shen Nian's shoulders, straddling him, pinning down his legs, and pressing her forehead against his.

Tracing the pads of her fingers across Shen Nian's face, Xia Yanchun didn't let him throw a tantrum. She stopped his movements and also blocked his mouth.

Shen Nian, who was just about to descend upon the world like a demon orb, instantly turned into a docile spirit pearl.

"..."

Shen Nian was stunned. He raised his hand and wiped the lingering warmth from his lips. Countless universes flashed through his mind, and in that split second, his intelligence surpassed Einstein's.

After his brainstorm, he spat out four words.

"I'm throwing a tantrum."

"..."

Xia Yanchun straightened her waist again, looking down at him from above.

"Phew..." She caught her breath, still in a state of excitement. Her heart rate remained high, the thumping sound taking over her senses.

"No tantrums allowed, do you hear me?"

"Didn't hear you," Shen Nian bared his teeth. "I'm going to throw a tantrum."

"Throw a tantrum my foot."

Xia Yanchun pouted. Did Haji Nian think that throwing a tantrum would get him kisses? If that were really the case, Shen Nian would definitely throw tantrums all day long until his lips peeled.

If he threw another tantrum, it wouldn't be kisses but two slaps.

Shen Nian gave an awkward, silly laugh. The plan failed.

He suddenly became serious. "Chunbao, am I not a perfect gentleman?"

"No."

"Damn! I'm throwing a tantrum!"

Xia Yanchun, angry and shy, climbed off Shen Nian. She raised her foot and kicked Shen Nian's chest. "If you throw another tantrum, I'll stuff my size thirty-six foot right into your mouth."

"Okay, I'll eat it."

"Then open your mouth."

"..."

Seeing Xia Yanchun actually raise her foot and bring it toward his mouth, Shen Nian was terrified. He scooted back twice, deeply afraid of smelling even a hint of odor or inhaling any bacteria.

Shen Nian looked at Xia Yanchun and raised a finger. He needed to educate her on some science.

"Fun fact: feet are not a delicacy."

"Then why did you say you'd eat it?"

Shen Nian felt depressed. I was just joking around! When you hide your feet and don't let me see them, they're the most beautiful jade feet in the world. But if you actually shove them in my face, I'm going to be sweating bullets.

For a moment, it was hard to tell who the pervert was.

Xia Yanchun's eyebrows curved in amusement. Her favorite thing was seeing Shen Nian at a loss. Handling Shen Nian was a piece of cake for her.

"Then no more tantrums, you hear me?"

"Don't understand," Shen Nian muttered. "My confession failed, and I'm very sad right now. I need a girl-next-door sister to comfort me. Haji Chun, do you know who my girl-next-door sister is?"

"Alright, alright, comforting you, comforting you."

Xia Yanchun quickly rubbed Shen Nian's hair, messing it all up.

Being patted on the head didn't bring any sense of comfort, nor did it make him happy. When Shen Nian's head was rubbed by Xia Yanchun, he just lost a few flakes of dandruff.

It was hard to imagine why anime characters would lower their heads and blush from being patted on the head; it wasn't like this was the Naruto mobile game.

At the thought of Haji Chun rejecting his confession yet still wanting him to continue confessing, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Did Haji Chun actually treat confessions as some sort of archenemy roleplay?

Rejecting me but still wanting to hear a confession... crying from being scared by a bad woman, this hateful scumbag of a woman actually dared to play me!

I really need to control Haji Chun now. Blue Silver Grass, bind!

Before Shen Nian could reveal his martial soul, Xia Yanchun made a move first.

She pushed Shen Nian's shoulder, and finding that he didn't budge, she shoved him hard again.

Shen Nian didn't know what was going on, so he had to lean back. He then saw Xia Yanchun prop herself up on a small pillow and lie down in front of him.

"Want to watch a music variety show?" Even if Xia Yanchun looked up, she couldn't see Shen Nian's face, so she just waved her phone.

Shen Nian tugged at the girl's reddish earlobes. "Up to you. Can we change positions?"

"No, listen to me."

"Then I'm going to throw a tantrum."

"I'll hit you, I'll hit you."

"Sister Chun, can we change positions?"

Xia Yanchun's almond eyes widened. This unexpected Sister Chun really hit her right in the heart.

Although she didn't say anything, she obediently crawled out of Shen Nian's arms, ran to his side to lean against him, and placed the phone between the two of them.

Since he already called her sister, she really had no way to deal with Shen Nian.

Shen Nian had no interest in variety shows. For the whole afternoon, he basically just accompanied Xia Yanchun in watching it.

Xia Yanchun's mind was on the variety show, while his mind was on Xia Yanchun. His hand had been caressing Xia Yanchun's leg for a long time before Xia Yanchun finally flicked his hand away with her fingers.

In the afternoon, near dusk, the sound of rolling car wheels approached from afar. The sound of doors opening and closing could be felt even with the windows shut.

Shen Nian hadn't cooked dinner yet. He had stayed over here for so long that he had even lost track of time.

"My parents are back," Xia Yanchun quietly reminded him, thinking Shen Nian hadn't heard.

"Got it. When are you going to be my girlfriend? If you don't, I'm going to throw a tantrum every day."

"No tantrums today. You can throw one tomorrow."

"You're really something, Xia Yanchun. If I were a bit dumber, I would have been strung along by you like an idiot. Good thing I'm one step ahead."

"Even without me stringing you along, you still are one."

"Damn it, don't sleep too deeply tonight."

Shen Nian pointed his Great Desolate Imprisoning Heavenly Finger, planning to launch a night raid on Haji Chun tonight.
