He was already like this, so Wen Qianyi had no choice but to turn off the lights and let him get into bed. She comforted herself, thinking, it’s okay, it’s okay, last time in Beihai Country, everyone was only in their underwear, and nothing happened... At least now she was wearing pajamas.

"Good night." Li Yan quickly slipped under the covers, and indeed, stayed very properly and honestly on his half of the bed.

"Night."

"Do you know if ’good night’ has any special meaning?" Li Yan remembered what Xiaodi taught him, that "wan an" in pinyin not only spells out "good night" but also abbreviates "I love you love you," with "an" meaning "peace" or "love you." So, between couples, it can have this special meaning.

"What special meaning?" Wen Qianyi was puzzled.

"Hehe, you can ask Baidu yourself tomorrow."

"Hmph!"

...

Last night, Li Yan had a few rounds of intense passion with Hai Fu. It wasn’t a time of fiery desire, even lying next to Wen Qianyi, just a foot or two apart, they didn’t do anything impetuous.

On the contrary, compared to the moment on the couch, being able to sleep next to Wen Qianyi was already an incredibly rare and satisfying thing for him. He was just fully experiencing the feeling of sleeping on the same bed with her, able to hear her breathing, feel her warmth, and even sense her heartbeat. It was an amazing experience.

The last time in Beihai Country, although he lasciviously stared at Qianyi with YY thoughts before sleeping with Future, once he fell asleep, including why they ended up in a hug the next day, he didn’t remember much. That time he drank too much, so everything was blurry. But this night, for him, was a beautiful, unforgettable evening.

Compared to him, Wen Qianyi was a bit more nervous. She also didn’t know why she didn’t lock the door, or why she boldly let him in to sleep. Was it because of previous similar experiences where nothing happened? Or was it because of the night’s events and the confessions?

She couldn’t understand it. More importantly, she believed Li Yan wouldn’t act out of line. But she couldn’t guarantee that once they slept, they’d maintain the distance. If there was any contact, could he remain calm? Last time they were drunk, but not this time.

Plagued by such thoughts, her eyelids couldn’t stand it anymore, and she finally fell asleep.

It felt like she had just fallen asleep when it was already morning. Without the alarm clock or phone going off, they almost woke up simultaneously. Upon opening their eyes, they immediately saw each other’s faces, lying on their respective pillows a foot or two apart. Although their postures were different from their initial sleeping positions, they still maintained a distance, unlike last time when they woke up entangled.

After realizing this, Wen Qianyi felt relieved, but for some reason, there was a faint sense of loss.

She was too rational, rational enough not to act recklessly, but when drunk or asleep, "rationality" would clock out, letting instinct take over. Just like when she woke up last time, although she was nervous and panicked, she couldn’t deny the accelerated heartbeat sensation that was still vivid in her memory.

Perhaps she feared that after falling asleep, she would get tangled with Li Yan, but subconsciously hoped for some chance of intimate contact.

"Good morning." Li Yan smiled.

Wen Qianyi stretched lazily in the warm covers, asking with a languid expression, "Does this have any special meaning too?"

"Probably not, I don’t know." Li Yan was a bit embarrassed, there really wasn’t any special meaning...

"Did you touch me last night?" Wen Qianyi asked with wide eyes.

At her bold question, Li Yan chuckled, "No."

"Did I touch you?" Wen Qianyi continued to ask.

"Uh... probably not either."

"Good, then no one got the short end of the stick."

"..."

"But how are you so sure? Were you awake while I was asleep?" Wen Qianyi pressed on.

"Well... there would be a feeling, right? If I touched you, you’d definitely wake up. If you touched me, I should wake up too. Since you didn’t wake up, and I didn’t wake up, we probably didn’t touch each other."

"That makes some sense..." Wen Qianyi nodded, but suspiciously looked at him: "Were you mentally YY-ing me?" She glanced at the bed covers and let out a humph.

Li Yan, noting her gaze, had to explain, "I admit I’ve YY-ed you before, but not last night. I was already very happy and touched that you trusted me enough to sleep with you. How could I have any indecent thoughts?"

"Hmph! You admitted it!" On such a sunny winter morning, discussing YY topics in bed with a man with whom she had an ambiguous relationship made even the experienced Wen Qianyi a bit shy, but also excited.

Li Yan took a deep breath, then moved his head a little closer, whispering, "Did you not sleep well last night? Worried about me doing something to you? You really don’t need to worry. If I did anything, it wouldn’t be in a sneaky way."

"You actually want to do it openly?" Wen Qianyi recalled the kiss in the bar last night.

"Right answer, just like now..."

"Now?"

Li Yan didn’t respond with words because he had already leaned in for a kiss!

Their distance was already small, and with his intent, he quickly moved in, and his mouth kissed Wen Qianyi’s lips, while his hand held her body close.

"Mmm...what are you doing...not hygienic..." Wen Qianyi struggled to avoid his lips.

Li Yan felt a little dizzy; was this girl a clean freak, always thinking about hygiene at intimate times.

However, since she resisted, he didn’t persist and instead, placed his kiss on her neck. They were lying on their sides, facing each other. Now, he propped himself up with his elbow, lifting his head enough to kiss her snow-white neck on the side.

This action made her body shiver, with a tingling sensation like an electric shock and an intense ticklish feeling. Qianyi couldn’t help but shrink her neck.

"Stop it... tickles..."

Ticklish, is simply a feeling, it’s normal, most girls are ticklish. So tickling them is always fun, making them uncontrollably laugh. But in bed, during intimate moments, when a girl says ticklish, to a man’s ears, it often represents a different kind of itch, one that requires deep exploration to satisfy.

To Li Yan’s understanding, she was genuinely ticklish and not implying anything else, so he paused.

Wen Qianyi’s breathing accelerated quite a bit at this moment. His sudden move just now had caused them to go from maintaining distance to being tightly pressed against each other, and to prevent her from moving randomly, he had placed one leg over her leg.

"No...we can’t."

"Is it you don’t want to, or we can’t?" Li Yan chuckled softly. Can’t is a matter of principle, don’t want to is an emotional issue. Of course, this question was also a kind of trap phrasing.

"We shouldn’t do this."
