Xia Yanchun was sulking.
Come to think of it, this guy hadn't called her "sister" in a long time, truly.
Even though she had called him Nianbao several times already.
Unhappy, Xia Yanchun sat in the backseat and pinched Shen Nian's ears hard, squeezing them until they turned into hot, red pig livers. Only when they looked a full size larger was she finally satisfied.
Shen Nian couldn't even be bothered to complain.
But to be honest, having hot ears was quite uncomfortable. Fortunately, the weather was cool, so the heat from his ears dissipated quickly.
After buying some pre-cut sugarcane chunks downstairs, Shen Nian went straight upstairs. Since he could drop by her place whenever he wanted, he no longer needed to linger with Xia Yanchun in the hallway for kisses and hugs. After showering and brushing his teeth, he would head over to her side on his own.
Of course, it was also possible that Xia Yanchun would come over on her own initiative.
The shoes on the shoe rack were placed haphazardly, and socks had fallen to the floor. However, the lights in Shen Yue's room were off; she had gone to bed exceptionally early today.
After finishing the sugarcane, Shen Nian called home to tell his parents about the 100-day pledge rally, telling them to watch more TV.
Their son being on a TV station—just thinking about it made them feel he was very promising.
After hanging up, showering, and brushing his teeth, he spawned early at Xia Yanchun's house.
Xia Yanchun looked like she had just finished showering. Wearing her pajamas, she was brushing her teeth at the sink. Seeing how well-behaved she looked, Shen Nian walked over with a grin, hugged her from behind, and stroked her slender waist, feeling in a great mood.
Watching her rinse her mouth with water and simply wash her face, Shen Nian exerted force with his arms and lifted Xia Yanchun, who was still looking in the mirror, right off the ground.
The sudden sensation of being suspended in mid-air made Xia Yanchun's heart flutter with panic, but only for a moment.
"Turn off the light, turn off the light!"
"Got it."
Xia Yanchun was thus carried back to the bedroom by Shen Nian. She didn't know where he got so much strength; carrying her while walking was one thing, but he even managed to casually turn off the main light and close the door along the way.
Thrown onto the bed, Xia Yanchun immediately counterattacked, giving Shen Nian a kick in the thigh.
"You scared me to death, hurry up and coax me."
"Time for an early bed, Haji-Chun, stop messing around."
"Coax me, or I'll get mad."
Asking to be coaxed before even getting mad? That was quite the everyday life.
Shen Nian couldn't do anything about her, so he took the opportunity to lie down next to her, gently patting the girl's stomach with his hand.
For some reason, it gave off the vibe of an old father coaxing his little daughter.
Xia Yanchun felt quite comfortable being patted and stopped bothering him. She pulled the quilt to cover herself tightly, leaving Shen Nian with just enough blanket to cover his body, and squinted at him.
"What's with that look?"
"The look of looking at an idiot."
As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Shen Nian to reply, Xia Yanchun pulled Shen Nian's arm again. "Hey, have you finished writing your speech for the 100-day pledge rally?"
"The teacher wrote it for me."
"Ew, you actually let the teacher write it for you for this kind of thing? If it were me, I would definitely write it myself and then act like a total badass."
"It's exactly because of that kind of thinking that you aren't the student representative," Shen Nian spouted nonsense mercilessly. "Only a Three Good Youth full of positive energy like me can show his face in front of the broad masses."
"Three Good Youth, my foot... We are so close, yet I can't name a single merit of yours. I can grab a whole handful of your flaws, though, especially this thick skin of yours. It's super invincible!" Xia Yanchun pinched Shen Nian's cheek angrily.
Hmm... His skin was quite nice, so that counted as a merit, right!
Shen Nian held the girl's small hand in his palm, tucked it under the blanket, and laughed, "If you don't have thick skin, you can't eat the grass near your own burrow."
"I'm not the grass near your burrow, you're talking nonsense."
"Uh, I wasn't the one who said it. In the beginning, you were the one who told me that a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow. Aren't you basically calling yourself the grass near my burrow?"
Shen Nian couldn't help but laugh, continuing to blabber, "I will take this matter, along with the fact that you ate cow dung, to my grave."
"Forget it right now!"
Xia Yanchun glared at him, a faint anger gathering in her eyes. When she spoke, her tone was a bit muffled.
Wanting to sulk and make Shen Nian guess what was wrong, Xia Yanchun decided to wake up early tomorrow and laugh out loud at his stupid look of shrinking his body and not daring to get out of bed.
"Alright, alright, forgotten, forgotten. Let's not be angry, I'll coax you, okay?"
"Too late, I can't be coaxed anymore."
"Then I won't coax you. Time to sleep."
Shen Nian moved her hand away, found a comfortable position, treated the little person next to him like a bolster, and threw one leg directly over her.
This hugging posture was the most comfortable, not to mention that the person in his arms was his fragrant and soft archenemy.
Archenemies were meant to lie in the same bed. If they didn't sleep together, wouldn't being archenemies be for nothing?
Xia Yanchun wriggled in Shen Nian's arms and pushed his super heavy leg off. Seeing that he had no reaction, Xia Yanchun didn't know how to make a fuss for a moment.
Today was Shen Nian's total victory.
Feeling the breathing coming from above her head, Xia Yanchun's body grew softer and softer, entering a state of ultimate relaxation.
Smelling the scent on Shen Nian's body, Xia Yanchun felt an itch in her heart. She nuzzled into Shen Nian's neck, covered her front teeth with her lips, and started nibbling on Shen Nian's collarbone bit by bit.
Although she really wanted to restrain herself, some things were truly hard to resist.
Zero risk, zero cost. Xia Yanchun really liked doing this; it was just that Shen Nian had to make a slight sacrifice.
"Don't mess around, or I'll make sure you can't sleep tonight. By the way, I mean I'll wake you up from your sleep."
There was clearly no need to specifically add that explanation at the end. It was a dead giveaway!
Xia Yanchun muttered in her heart. She quietly looked up at Shen Nian and met his somewhat fiery gaze. She buried her head again, pretending she didn't know anything.
"It's all your fault," Shen Nian said resentfully, forced to pull some distance away from her.
"Can't I even kiss you?" Xia Yanchun looked innocent.
This left Shen Nian a bit speechless. He usually always wanted to be affectionate with Xia Yanchun, but when she was affectionate with him, he couldn't quite control himself.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't control this...
Even knowing full well that Xia Yanchun was doing it on purpose, he couldn't do anything about her. Whether intentional or not, this was just their daily affection.
Shen Nian scratched his cheek, took two deep breaths, and felt extremely frustrated.
"Hehe." Xia Yanchun poked Shen Nian's chest. The more flustered Shen Nian was, the happier she became. Liking to see Shen Nian's flustered expressions was almost becoming her little fetish.
"Still laughing? Are you going to sleep or not?"
"I want to sleep too, but someone is going to lose sleep." Xia Yanchun touched Shen Nian's face with her small hand and smiled lightly. "Are you blushing?"
"You little..." Shen Nian bared his teeth. If she wouldn't let him sleep, then neither of them would sleep.
Under the warm blanket, his hands also became a bit restless. Sliding along Xia Yanchun's waist, before she could even react, Shen Nian's hand had already succeeded.
"Waaah!"
Xia Yanchun instantly blushed with embarrassment. Covering her chest and panting with anger, she clenched her small fist and punched the big bad guy in front of her.
Messing around without permission! Shen Nian, you're really asking for death!
Her little canine teeth, which hadn't bitten Shen Nian in a long time, made a comeback today, biting fiercely onto Shen Nian's wrist.
Being bitten by canine teeth hurt quite a bit. Shen Nian couldn't help but suck in a breath of air. The smell of saliva dispersed in the air, a little stinky.

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.

"This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
