Chapter 46: 46: Really Enjoys Sleeping, There's a Joy Similar to Being at Peace with the Earth

Both of them tossed and turned throughout the night, neither sleeping well.

Xu Qingyan had originally thought that as long as they slept in different quilts, there wouldn't be any inappropriate thoughts. At first, indeed, the atmosphere wasn't bad, chatting on and off after the lights were out.

In the middle of the night, somehow, his saliva became increasingly abundant.

As they chatted, Pei Muchan's voice got softer and eventually went silent altogether. Throughout the room, from time to time, the sound of Xu Qingyan swallowing saliva echoed.

He was dying of embarrassment, trying to control it, but the more nervous he got, the more saliva he had.

Exhausted, let it all be destroyed!

Groggily enduring till dawn, Xu Qingyan didn't know whether Pei Muchan had slept well or not. But he indeed woke up three times and wanted to explain, but then shut his mouth each time he was about to speak.

Some things become darker the more you describe them, it's better to just admit it.

Yes, I'm lecherous, but not last night.

In the room, with the curtains tightly closed, Pei Muchan rustled as she got up from the adjacent bed to wash, her footsteps light. In the darkness, only a vague silhouette was visible, elegant in posture.

Then came the sound of the shower splashing from the bathroom, and about twenty minutes later she walked out wearing a fresh set of clothes.

Although she left quietly without a word, Xu Qingyan always felt her silence was deafening.

Done for, the image built up yesterday... Luckily, I went mad all day yesterday without actually establishing any good image, a truly thrilling false alarm.

Only after Pei Muchan left did Xu Qingyan crawl out from the quilt. He resolved to turn over a new leaf, be kind to others, and strive to cultivate a positive image.

After making this decision, he went to pee and then climbed back into the quilt to catch up on sleep.

He liked sleeping very much, as if it brought the joy of resting in peace.

Waking up from his sleep, he felt he was an idiot.

Be kind to others?

He was blinded by wine and lust; in his twenty-three years, he had never been kind to anybody. How could someone whose birthday wish was to "sleep quietly and wake everyone up in the middle of the night" be kind?

Groggy and wearing his slippers, he went to the bathroom to wash up. After busying himself for a while, yawning to the high heavens, he pocketed his phone and left his room, heading downstairs.

He wasn't the last one to wake up; as he descended the stairs and turned a corner, he encountered Shen Jinyue, also yawning, which made him feel somewhat justified in sleeping in.

"How come you overslept too?" Shen Jinyue blocked his path, her thinking a bit abstract.

Xu Qingyan originally didn't want to bother with this silly woman, but seeing she was wealthy and generous, he grudgingly stood there a while.

Shen Jinyue was standing with her hands on her hips, completely unaware of how much her shaking pose affected a man who had just gotten out of bed, full of youthful vigor.

She was wearing a sexy spaghetti strap dress, which was actually quite conservative. It wouldn't show too much whether in front of the camera or from an eye-level view.

However, the problem was Xu Qingyan was tall, and unfortunately, they were standing too close. He was blocked at the corner, Shen Jinyue stood there, and neither wanted to step aside first.

Anyway, as he looked down, he could see that enticing deep abyss, large and white, wonderfully satisfying.

"I'm talking to you, what are you daydreaming for!" Shen Jinyue frowned slightly, feeling ignored, and her cheeks puffed up in an instant.

"I'm waiting for you to get angry."

"What do you mean! You want to deliberately make me angry!"

"Not entirely, mainly I'm just curious what it looks like when you get so mad you jump up and hit me on the knee," Xu Qingyan said nonchalantly.

"You! Xu Qingyan, you're so annoying!"

"Same to you," Xu Qingyan said with an unruffled face, thinking to himself that he's not a sycophant—why would he need to be so careful and dutifully attend to a princess first thing in the morning?

Selling out his dignity wasn't up for discussion, unless there was extra pay involved.

Their bickering reached downstairs, where the filming crew turned their cameras, and the live stream audience could hear but not see them. The barrage of comments streamed by like a swarm of locusts.

"Early in the morning and we have to listen to Brother Xu going mad. He woke up so late, could it be that he stayed up all night checking the trending searches without sleep?"

"Such a low-tier man, not even responding when Moon asks him a question. And mocking a girl's height, to be honest, such a guy really lacks any decency."

Downstairs, You Zijun was performing a cleaning of the living room and looked up when he heard the noise from above.

After listening for a while, he believed that his dinner with Shen Jinyue under the candlelight last night was somewhat harmonious, so perhaps there was a spark between those two upstairs.

"Cough cough!" You Zijun coughed, standing there, "Brother Xu, after all, Moon is a girl. Why are you, a big man, being so petty with a girl?"

"Isn't that be too narrow-minded? We men should be more open-minded!"

Hearing this, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but take a deep breath, thinking how unlucky he was. What's wrong with this show? Oh great, so it's about bringing on a bunch of sycophants, huh?

Talk of being broad-minded and open, it was indeed a lot of pressure.

Watching Shen Jinyue nodding in agreement like a pecking chicken in front of him, he understood why there were so many sycophants in this world—the effect of gaining favorability was immediate.

A smile appeared on Xu Qingyan's face, as he stepped out from the corner of the corridor and called down to You Zijun in the living room.

"Young Brother You, it's you who has the big picture, my brother here was confused. Carry on, it's all about puppy-boyfriends these days, just be careful to carry an umbrella when you go out, so your love-struck brain doesn't get burnt out."

"You!" You Zijun's face turned ugly in an instant. He hadn't expected Xu Qingyan to be so humiliating in front of Shen Jinyue.

It was almost like he threw You Zijun's face on the ground and stamped on it repeatedly until it was bouncingly tender.

Of course, Xu Qingyan wasn't going to pander to him; being on this show meant earning his paycheck.

As a new youth of the 21st century, he had principles, he had decency. He'd seen enough of sycophants acting pretentious in his half lifetime.

"Xu Qingyan, you've gone too far," Shen Jinyue chided.

"So have you, take an umbrella," Xu Qingyan turned his head, with an expression that nearly forgot your existence, almost making Shen Jinyue choke.

"Hmph, I won't stoop to your level." Her mind was simple; getting angry was like a fire going up a chimney—quick to rise, quick to dissipate.

You Zijun, who had lost face, couldn't just not care, but he couldn't throw a tantrum in front of the cameras either, as that would make him look petty.

So he took a deep breath and turned his attention to Shen Jinyue.

He remembered that she got along fairly well with Xu Qingyan yesterday, and now was the perfect opportunity to let Xu Qingyan see his own charm.

"Moon," You Zijun looked up with a bright, sunny smile, "Are you hungry? I can make you a Western-style breakfast."

Before the dazed Shen could respond, Xu Qingyan beat her to it.

"Is Ele.me doing so well now that even Young Brother You is moonlighting there?"

You Zijun: "....."

"Oi! Your legs seem to be working fine, fancy going out for breakfast on the street?" Xu Qingyan turned his head to look at Shen Jinyue, who had just finished arguing.

The dazed goose pondered for a moment before looking up and asking.

"Are you treating?"
