You're Crushing My Hair.

Su Xiyan sat up and casually grabbed a hair tie to put her hair up: "Chen Shuo, what did you just say?"

Chen Shuo: "I said, remember to blow dry your hair after washing it in the future, otherwise you'll easily get a headache."

Su Xiyan chuckled lightly: "I didn't expect you to be so considerate."

Chen Shuo: "Don't get the wrong idea, Su Xiyan. I'm not being considerate towards you! If you catch a cold at my house, my mom would definitely scold me badly."

"So I'm only looking out for myself by being nice to you."

A faint smile appeared on Su Xiyan's face as she listened to Chen Shuo's denial despite his actions.

"Chen Shuo, I'm your girlfriend now. What's wrong with you being a little nicer to me?"

Doubt filled Chen Shuo's gaze: "You think our current relationship resembles one between lovers?"

Su Xiyan pouted: "Why wouldn't it?"

Chen Shuo: "Of course it doesn't! Not unless you prove it to me!"

Su Xiyan: "How do I prove it?"

Chen Shuo: "Since you claim we're boyfriend and girlfriend, shouldn't we do what couples typically do?"

"For example... hehe..."

Chen Shuo dove under the covers: "Sleep first!"

Su Xiyan protested: "Chen Shuo! I'm not sleepy yet!"

Chen Shuo lifted up a corner of the blanket and patted the bed: "I've made space for you already. Whether to sleep or not is up to you!"

Su Xiyan stood up, grabbed the blanket, and yanked hard. Chen Shuo's entire body was flung out from within.

With a fluttering sound, the blanket wrapped around Su Xiyan like the wings of a butterfly taking flight.

She enjoyed the warmth of the blanket burrito and snuggled into a comfortable sleeping position: "Goodnight, Chen Shuo!"

Chen Shuo: "..."

Staring at the uncovered side of the bed, a wave of sorrow washed over Chen Shuo. Why did he have to play with Su Xiyan? He clearly couldn't beat her!

Su Xiyan was not one to be trifled with!

Exhausted from the long day, Chen Shuo leaned against the headboard playing on his phone, stealing occasional glances at Su Xiyan.

She didn't seem to have any intention of showing mercy!

After a while, the rhythmic breathing of a deep slumber reached Chen Shuo's ears.

...She fell asleep?!

Chen Shuo turned his head to look at the silent sleeping Su Xiyan. A strange metaphor popped into his mind - Su Xiyan curled up in the blanket resembled a chicken wrap from KFC.

He wondered if this chicken wrap would taste good.

Ahem! Get your head out of the gutter, Chen Shuo!

Su Xiyan was not to be messed with!

Truly fatigued from the long day, Chen Shuo dozed off unknowingly while playing on his phone.

In the middle of the night, Su Xiyan awoke to the sound of Chen Shuo's breathing next to her ear.

This guy!! He actually slept on her pillow?!

Unacceptable!

Su Xiyan's brows furrowed as she prepared to give Chen Shuo a punch.

However, as she turned her head, her clenched fist gradually relaxed.

Chen Shuo was lying next to her without any blankets, his whole body curled up into a ball. Despite the cold weather without any bedding, he had still fallen asleep, clearly exhausted.

Recalling how Chen Shuo had carefully blow-dried her hair earlier, and the fleeting gentleness in his eyes, Su Xiyan's heart softened.

Outside the window, the north wind howled violently.

The first wave of bitter cold had hit Suzhou with a vengeance.

Su Xiyan gently touched Chen Shuo's cheek – icy cold.

After hesitating for a good while, Su Xiyan finally loosened her grip on the blanket and shared her warm nest with Chen Shuo.

The soft blanket, carrying Su Xiyan's unique fragrant scent, gently covered Chen Shuo.

As if sensing the warmth, Chen Shuo's curled up body gradually relaxed in his sleep. Even the expression on his face became tranquil.

People instinctively gravitate towards comfort.

The freezing Chen Shuo followed his instincts and snuggled towards Su Xiyan's warmth.

Su Xiyan: ...

Her delicate but powerful hands pushed Chen Shuo to the other side of the bed.

After shoving Chen Shuo aside, Su Xiyan worried that he might catch a chill and tugged the blanket over him further.

However, there was only so much blanket to go around.

Anyway, Chen Shuo was sleeping so he probably wouldn't know what happened, right?

If he found out how nice she had been to him, wouldn't he become unbearably arrogant?

That cannot happen!

Su Xiyan told herself inwardly that she wasn't caring for Chen Shuo, she was just being soft-hearted!

Perhaps she really was too tired, or it was the comfort of having her sweetheart by her side, but Su Xiyan fell back asleep swiftly.

The two lay snugly in shared bedding, sleeping soundly.

Save for the howling northwest wind outside, the room was quiet all night.

Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan enjoyed an overdue, blissful rest.

When they awoke, it was already nine in the morning the next day.

Strangely, they had slept remarkably well last night, as if wrapped in absolute safety, allowing them to set aside all their worries and drop their guard for tranquil rest.

As if on cue, Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan opened their eyes almost simultaneously.

At some point while sleeping, they had shifted from back-to-back to lying face-to-face.

When their eyes met upon awakening, there was none of the awkward screaming commonly seen on TV.

Other than silence, there was only tenderness in their gaze.

After some time, they spoke in unison again:

"You're awake?"

"You're awake?"

Chen Shuo felt somewhat surprised by the calmness. He had even mentally prepared himself to meet Su Xiyan's fury!

But as they recalled having shared the same bed so intimately like an old married couple, there didn't seem to be anything worth astonishing over.

Su Xiyan took out her phone to check the time: "Oh no, we overslept. Gotta get up quickly."

In her haste, she didn't notice her silk nightgown trapped under Chen Shuo.

The slippery silk slid up easily, fully revealing Su Xiyan's fragrant shoulders, her perfect clavicles, and half of Mount Everest to Chen Shuo's eyes.

Chen Shuo told himself not to look!

But the eyes have a will of their own when chasing beautiful scenery.

Chen Shuo figured it'd be wisest to get out of bed! But in his flustered state, he felt the elbow-like silkiness again.

Su Xiyan: "...Chen Shuo, seen enough?"

"Could you move please? You're sitting on my hair."

So it turned out Chen Shuo's elbow had pinned down Su Xiyan's hair.

He promptly rolled out of bed, and when he turned back, Su Xiyan had already pulled on the fuzzy pajamas to cover herself.

...She dresses quickly!

When the two stepped out of the room, a flush that aroused much imagination tinted both their cheeks.
