“No, not at all!” Chen Xing quickly realized that he had been lost in thought earlier and may have appeared a bit distant. He immediately walked over, embracing her.

“I’m not angry, don’t worry. I won’t be mad at you, never.”

Zero was still afraid that Chen Xing might misunderstand her, so she hesitated in her words. “That… It’s not that I… don’t want to be with you. I just…”

“I know…” Chen Xing gently touched her head and leaned down, kissing her cherry-like lips.

“Mm…”

The two of them lost track of time, until Zero couldn’t take it any longer.

“Ha…” Her face was flushed, and she took several deep breaths to calm down.

“Um, then… we’ll … together… (sleep together) in the future.” Zero blushed and stammered, her voice becoming quieter with each word until the last one didn’t come out.

Chen Xing chuckled lightly, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”

“Thank you…”

Chen Xing was puzzled, “Thank me for what? Silly, next time you want to say thank you, say ‘I love you’!”

Zero immediately smiled brightly, pouncing on Chen Xing. “I love you!”

Chen Xing laughed and lifted her up, heading towards the bed, intending to put her down and let her sleep since it was getting very late. Children should go to bed early!

Before leaving, Chen Xing felt a bit reluctant and gave her another kiss on the lips. Then he returned to the living room.

After a quick wash-up, he changed into a new outfit he had recently bought and lay down on the sofa. Suddenly, he remembered that there was still an unopened gift package today.

“Open the home subsidies gift package”

【 Ding~ Home Subsidy Gift Package: Crystal Coins: 50% crystal coins refund!

【 Ding~ Congratulations, host, 10% luck triggered a hidden reward! Obtained exclusive furniture theme skin: Zero! Please check your inventory for details! 】

“What the heck? Furniture has skins too…”

Chen Xing chose a room right next to Zero’s. He intended to take a look at the new furniture. With a thought, he collected all the previous furniture in the room.

“Help me arrange the furniture!”

【 Ding~ Scanning the room, planning in progress. 】

“Swish~” With the help of the system, all the furniture instantly fell into place without a sound!

Inside the entire room…

It was filled with Zero!

“What the heck is this!?” Chen Xing was stunned when he saw Zero’s face all over the room.

What does it mean by exclusive theme skin: Zero? It meant that Zero’s photos were imprinted on all the furniture. He was too familiar with these photos!

They were all from Zero’s photo album. The bedsheet, duvet cover, pillows… all had Zero’s image on them…

Chen Xing couldn’t help but complain: “This is so damn embarrassing!”

【 Shall I change it back for you? 】

“No! Just…. lock the door for me, thanks!”

“I’ll change it tomorrow when I wake up. I can’t let Zero see this!”

【 Tsk… 】

Chen Xing happily lay on the bed filled with Zero’s images, leaving the light on as he enjoyed the view. As he continued watching, he fell asleep without even turning off the light.

…

Meanwhile, Zero had just finished taking a shower in the room. She had a habit of not being able to sleep if she didn’t take a shower.

And after the shower, Zero was a panda version of herself…

Yes, the panda pajamas were bought for her by Chen Xing. The black and white fur, when worn by Zero, was truly a perfect match. Chen Xing had immediately taken a liking to it and bought it for Zero.

Since he bought it, of course, Zero would wear the clothes Chen Xing bought and happily went to sleep…

“Has Chen Xing fallen asleep?” It didn’t take long before Zero started missing him…

She wanted to take one last look at him before sleeping. And if he wasn’t asleep…

It would be even better to have a goodnight hug!

With these thoughts in mind, she gently opened the door.

At this moment, all four room doors were closed. However, Zero could tell from the gap under the door that one room had its lights on.

“He’s still not asleep?… He even told me to sleep early… Hmph…”

So, a little panda quietly walked over, intending to suddenly open the door and startle him!

But the door wouldn’t open because it was locked by the system.

Zero muttered in her heart: “Not sleeping… and still locking the door!… What is he doing in there? Is he up to something naughty?…”

Although Chen Xing locked the door, there was still a key hanging on it…

The keys for the new house were inserted into the keyholes, and Chen Xing hadn’t taken them out. Zero gently twisted it.

“Click…”

The moment the door opened, Zero pushed it forcefully! She was about to shout and startle him, but she was stunned by the sight in front of her…

“…”

Her pretty face instantly turned red.

“What is this… how can this be?!” It was filled with her own photo shoot pictures. Those photo shoot pictures were mostly swimsuit photos, revealing a lot of skin!

All she could see was skin…

And when she looked at the pillows Chen Xing slept on, the blanket he covered himself with, and the bedsheets he slept on, they were all her!

The most unique one was the curtains. Her close-up face was printed on them. When she pulled the curtains open, it split apart. It was truly a bizarre design…

One couldn’t help but say that this thing was really damn shameful.

It’s a good thing that Chen Xing can sleep peacefully, otherwise the author would be feeling embarrassed (staring at it) all night unable to sleep.

To Zero, it was an extreme level of embarrassment!

However, deep down, she felt a little bit happy. Zero took two deep breaths to calm her emotions.

“All of these… were they customized by him?”

“He… enjoys looking at them so much…”

“Should I… wear these clothes for him to see?”

“Ah! No! I can’t… it’s too… that…” Zero looked at Chen Xing who was sound asleep with a bit of shyness.

She quietly walked to his side and silently gazed at his sleeping face. Chen Xing was in a deep sleep, his chest rising and falling slowly.

The more Zero looked, the less she wanted to leave. She wished she could keep looking like this until the end of time.

Suddenly… a bold idea emerged in her mind…

She wanted to experience what it felt like to lie next to Chen Xing!

“While he’s sleeping, I’ll just lie here for a moment… and then I’ll go back! Yeah, that’s it.” Zero murmured in her mind while she climbed onto the bed and lay down next to him, watching his profile.

“So close…” Zero lay next to him, only about 10 centimeters apart.

Even though Chen Xing was asleep, Zero still felt her whole body burning. Her heart was beating rapidly! She felt shy and afraid that he would wake up, that feeling…

She actually felt a bit… excited?!

“Uh… no, this is not right!” Zero couldn’t bear it. Her nervous body trembled, and she decided to make a swift exit.

But!

Just as she was about to get up from the bed…

Chen Xing suddenly turned over, and his arm pressed her back onto the bed. It happened to land on her stomach.

“!!!”

Zero was so scared that she almost screamed. She stared at Chen Xing in horror with wide eyes.

Luckily, he didn’t wake up!

Oh my god! Help…

Zero regretted it so much now. She had to escape!

She had just said she wouldn’t sleep with him. And now she ended up here, what was she thinking!? If Chen Xing woke up now, it would be so embarrassing!

So she carefully grabbed his arms with her small hands, trying to lift them slightly to free herself and escape. Her heart was pounding, so nervous that it felt like it was about to burst out of her throat.

However, who was Chen Xing? An assassin, a top-notch killer!

Though in this world, Zero had made him somewhat complacent. Otherwise, the sound of the door lock when she opened it would have awakened him.

The moment Zero’s small hands grabbed his arms and exerted force, he woke up. His eyes suddenly opened wide. Instinctively, a fierce glint appeared in his gaze!

But he froze in the instant he saw Zero.

???

At this moment, Zero was lying next to him, raising her head and looking at Chen Xing’s hand. Her face was flushed, whether from not daring to breathe or from shyness, no one could tell. She was carefully moving Chen Xing’s arm, inch by inch.

She was also a little afraid that Chen Xing might wake up, so she turned her head to look at him…

“!!!”

In the instant she turned her head, Chen Xing’s eyes were open right in front of her.

“Huh?!?” She was so frightened that she let out a scream and instinctively let go of Chen Xing’s hand.

Both of her small hands went up above her head, fingers spread out. It was like she was saying, “It wasn’t me!”

Look! My hands are above my head! I didn’t do anything! That gesture was reminiscent of a little panda surrendering with its paws up!

The air seemed to freeze in that moment…

Both of them were frozen in place as if time had stopped They perfectly embodied the phrase “staring at each other in shock”!
