She was so tired that she could barely keep her eyelids open.
But Chi Xingyu seemed to have endless energy, coaxing her by her side, “You can sleep, I’ll handle it.”
She wasn’t a wooden post; how could she really fall asleep under such circumstances?
However, after Chi Xingyu’s persistent antics wore her down, Tong Sui eventually couldn’t withstand it anymore. He shut his eyes and immediately fell into a deep sleep.
When Tong Sui woke up again, the sky had darkened, and the room was so dim that he couldn’t see anything.
He propped himself up on the bed, feeling like his body was falling apart.
If he had the chance to choose again, he would have slipped away without looking back last night.
Because he never expected that 18-year-old Chi Xingyu would be so vibrant, staying up all night with reckless abandon. Initially, he would advise her a few times, but later Tong Sui found himself cursing freely.
He wanted her to tone it down a bit, at least let him sleep for a while.
Chi Xingyu kept coaxing and lying, saying it would be quick, but in reality, she was even more energetic, treating Tong Sui’s few scolding words as encouragement.
Tong Sui still felt angry when he thought back on it; he turned to look at the other half of the bed.
It was empty.
Chi Xingyu actually wasn’t there.
This left him feeling irritated but unable to express it, and he immediately felt the places of his body that had been worn out through the night pained even more, his throat parched.
He groggily got up to wash up, only to be shocked by his reflection in the mirror. His eyes were red, his lips chapped from being kissed, and kiss marks were visible from his cheeks down to his neck.
Not to mention the parts covered by his clothes.
In this condition, he couldn’t even consider streaming, let alone normal speech.
At that moment, hearing him get up, Chi Xingyu walked in from outside, reaching out to hug Tong Sui from behind and affectionately rubbing his neck, like a harmless puppy.
“You’ve slept for a long time, it’s already dark.”
“Isn’t it because you wouldn’t let me sleep?” Tong Sui glared at her angrily. He originally wanted to unleash his frustrations, but then he noticed the conspicuous scratches on Chi Xingyu’s otherwise handsome face.
Tong Sui froze.
Upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn’t just her cheeks; there were scratches on her neck and even on her arms. Some scenes from last night surged to his mind.
Did he clutch her that hard…?
Tong Sui instantly felt guilty, “Did you feel uncomfortable over there?”
“No,” Chi Xingyu replied, “Are you hungry? I cooked all afternoon; do you want to try?”
Tong Sui’s eyes widened, “You cooked?”
Chi Xingyu led Tong Sui to look, and there on the dining table were perfectly arranged six dishes. They weren’t particularly intricate, but each one clearly took a lot of effort.
This must have taken quite a bit of time and energy.
Tong Sui couldn’t help but redefine his perception of Chi Xingyu; how was she so capable? Didn’t she need to sleep and rest?
Tong Sui said, “Maybe you shouldn’t cook for yourself next time.”
“Don’t you like it?” Chi Xingyu asked. “I might not have done well this time, but I’m still learning. I’ll do better next time.”
“No, I really like it,” Tong Sui replied, “But it’s too much trouble for you. You could use that time to rest; after all, you did a lot of exercise yesterday…”
His voice got softer and softer, and his ears turned pink.
Chi Xingyu, however, was in an exceptionally good mood, unable to resist kissing his flushed ears, “So, baby actually cares about me.”
“Who cares about you…”
Chi Xingyu smiled, “When I can’t sleep, all I think about is doing something nice for you, so I just got up to cook; it wasn’t that hard.”
As long as Tong Sui liked it, every effort she made was worth it.
The dining table had a self-heating feature.
Tong Sui sat down looking at the dishes, and almost all of them were his favorites.
However, Chi Xingyu didn’t eat much; most of it went into drinking light porridge, but even so, she was enjoying it.
After finishing the meal, Tong Sui would usually start streaming, but the current circumstances didn’t suit streaming at all, so he could only watch TV in the room.
Meanwhile, Chi Xingyu was catching up on her online classes.
Chi Xingyu was not only studying online courses but also preparing for her driver’s license, while Tong Sui acted like a lazy fish, occasionally helping with questions but most of the time watching TV or sleeping.
As long as it remained this way, the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.
However, Tong Sui didn’t expect that just a few days later, Chi Xingyu would cling to him again and pull him towards the bed.
Having learned from past experiences, Tong Sui obviously refused, hugging the blanket, “No way, you figure it out on your own.”
Chi Xingyu looked hurt as she sat at the corner of the bed with her eyelids down, “The pressure from studying is so high. I thought you would be willing to help me relax…”
“No one relaxes in this way!”
Chi Xingyu replied sincerely, “But this is the most effective method for me.”
“…”
In the end, Tong Sui still didn’t harden his heart but made an advance request: “You can’t go on for so long this time; I’ll say stop when it’s enough.”
Chi Xingyu’s eyes instantly lit up as she leaned over to kiss him, kissing the marks that hadn’t faded, “Got it, this time it definitely won’t be like that.”
When the night fell,
Tong Sui realized how naïve he was, blushing and scolding her, “You liar, big liar! I will never believe your words again!”
In the following days, Tong Sui was almost stuck at home by Chi Xingyu.
Chi Xingyu was a very good girlfriend.
She was attentive, silently remembering all of Tong Sui’s little habits, playing games with him, cooking for him, and buying lots of his favorite snacks and drinks.
But there was one thing—Chi Xingyu’s energy was just too abundant.
After doing so many things, studying at a high frequency during the day, and still having the energy to drag him to bed at night, they would go on for the whole night.
At first, Tong Sui would struggle a bit, but later he just got used to compromising, waking up every time in the afternoon, having a meal, and then playing a bit of games again.
