Chen Xing’s mouth opened slightly. For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond.
He couldn’t believe those words actually came out of Little Zero’s mouth!
Unable to resist, he placed a hand on her forehead and after sensing for a while, muttered:
“You’re not running a fever…”
“Mm…”
Little Zero gently moved his hand away and pouted unhappily:
“I’m not sick! You better tell me—do you have some unspeakable secret?”
Chen Xing was both amused and exasperated:
“What secret could I possibly have?”
“Hmm… then why is it that other wives can see their husband’s third… thing…”
“But you won’t let me see yours, and I had to hear about it from someone else…”
Little Zero looked completely wronged.
She had even let him “nibble the bunny”…
And yet he was still hiding things from her!
 

Chen Xing laughed and rubbed his forehead, asking helplessly:
“Who told you that? Susu?”
“Hmph~”
Little Zero didn’t deny it, which meant—she admitted it.
Chen Xing instantly understood.
Susu must’ve been spouting nonsense again, and this silly girl actually believed her.
Still, Chen Xing could only think: Well done, iron buddy!
“Ahem… So you want to see it?”
Chen Xing grinned mischievously at Little Zero, preparing to go into full-on teasing mode.
“Mm… I do…”

Little Zero blinked her big eyes and pursed her lips, waiting for Chen Xing to reveal his secret.
Chen Xing laughed and lifted her chin gently, speaking softly:
“This is my final secret… what are you going to trade for it?”
His breath fell lightly on Little Zero’s face.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and her cheeks slowly flushed.
“Mm… I… I…”
Little Zero looked a bit troubled…
Seeing her shy and cute expression, Chen Xing gulped.
He really wanted to devour her!

 (Not that kind of eat… if you know, you know…)
“Ahem… You could trade me one of your secrets… hehe.”
“You see mine, I see yours!”
“Mm…”
Little Zero’s face turned red all at once!
Chen Xing looked down at her with a smirk.
It was early in the morning, and little Chen Xing had already woken up too.
One looked down, the other looked up—and both were looking at Little Zero.
Since they were hugging tightly, Little Zero could clearly feel little Chen Xing’s presence.
But she was already used to it. She shifted a bit to give him some space.
Chen Xing noticed and smiled: “So? Sounds fair, right?”
“Mm… No way… I… I only have one last secret left!”
Little Zero shrank back into his arms, afraid.
Chen Xing pursed his lips, trying hard not to laugh, and raised an eyebrow:
“What secret?”
“Mm… I’m not telling you…”

 Little Zero curled up like a little hedgehog, protecting herself tightly.
She had already let him nibble the bunny, this last secret must be saved for the wedding night!
Of course Chen Xing knew what she was thinking. But seeing her shy and cute look,
he just couldn’t help but tease her a little.
“Sigh, so you are still hiding something from me.”
Chen Xing put on a disappointed look, and his acting was so good, it almost looked real!
Little Zero saw how disappointed he looked and said, feeling wronged:
“Mm… I didn’t mean to…”

“Susu said that kind of secret can only be shown after marriage…”
Chen Xing was actually very curious how Susu managed to teach her.
After all that talk, Little Zero still seemed to only half understand.
And she even asked that kind of question…
A third leg?
Absolutely ridiculous.
Still, Susu really tried.
Susu was mature for her age and always knew a lot.
She could make any boy in the courtyard blush with just her words—no one could out-yellow her.
But she was Susu, and Little Zero was Little Zero.
Susu had always tried her best to protect Little Zero’s innocence.
However… when talking to Little Zero, you had to be super exaggerated—
Exaggerated enough to scare her.
Otherwise, this silly girl would never remember.
If she didn’t get hurt in a fall, she’d fall the same way again next time!
Just look at how Susu trained her to brush her teeth every morning and night.
Little Zero used to be lazy~
 

 Back at the orphanage, she’d hide whenever it was time to brush teeth.
The staff had to chase her all over the place.
So Susu told her that if she didn’t brush, cockroaches would crawl out of her mouth.
Little Zero immediately became obedient.
Since then, she has never missed a brush.
Susu always used wild analogies—
She knew best what Little Zero feared most.
And she could always manage to scare her just right.
That’s why Little Zero believed her completely, and took everything she said to heart.
As for that topic, only Susu and Little Zero knew how the lessons went.
But Little Zero would never break the rules.
Because the price Susu described was just too terrifying…
Chen Xing gently patted Little Zero’s little head and smiled:
“Then… What should we do? This is my very last secret.”
“Mm…”

Little Zero was at a loss for words. She really wanted to see it, but both sides had secrets.
One secret for another—it was only fair…
But she couldn’t give hers up, which left her in a dilemma.
After thinking for a bit, she compromised:
“Alright then… I won’t look… Let’s both wait until we’re married to share our secrets, okay?”
But Chen Xing wasn’t ready to back down: “Ahem… Mine doesn’t have to wait until marriage.”
With that, he looked at Little Zero, trying hard not to burst into laughter.
“Then hurry up and show me.”
Little Zero looked at him expectantly.
?^[1]????
She was so curious—where exactly was he hiding it?!
Chen Xing saw her curious-baby look and couldn’t hold it in anymore—he broke!
“Ha ha ha…”
“Mm… Why are you laughing?”
Little Zero lightly punched him.
Chen Xing always laughed for no reason and never told her why.
So annoying~
Why couldn’t he just share the joke?
“Hmph! No laughing allowed!”
Little Zero punched him again.
“Hurry up and show me—where are you hiding it!”
“Ehehehehe…”
Chen Xing was laughing so hard he let out actual goose honks.
“Mm…”
Little Zero pouted unhappily, waiting for him to finish laughing.

Her face read: Laugh one more time and I’ll ignore you forever!
“Ahem…”
Chen Xing cleared his throat and pretended to be serious:
“I’ll show you, but… I’m hungry.”
“Hungry?”
Little Zero instinctively checked her artifact system.
Then she sheepishly said:
“Umm… I already ate all the snacks in the system… I don’t have anything left…”
Chen Xing licked his lips and glanced at her little bear chest:
“I want to eat this.”
“Mm?”
Little Zero followed his gaze and immediately understood what he meant.
He wanted to eat the bunny again!
She quickly turned red and covered her chest with her hands:
“No!”
Chen Xing wasn’t the least bit flustered. He chuckled softly:
“Then I’m not showing you~”
“Mm…”

 Little Zero finally realized—Chen Xing had been teasing her from the very beginning!
“Mm…” (Anger rising…)
Chen Xing: “Hehehe…”
He still had the nerve to laugh!?
“Mm…” (Anger level: 80%)
She puffed up her cheeks in anger, looking like an adorable, angry little pufferfish.
“So? Let me eat it or not?”
Chen Xing poked her cheek as he spoke, full of mischief!
“Mm!” (Anger level: 99%)
“You’re doing this on purpose! You never planned to show me, huh!?”
Little Zero frowned angrily at Chen Xing.
Chen Xing shamelessly shook his head:
“Nope—unless you let me eat the bunny.”
That smug expression finally pushed Little Zero over the edge.
“I want to see it!”
Little Zero suddenly shouted.
【Ding~ Skill activated: 100% Adorable Begging Technique!】
Chen Xing: ???
That skill was way too overpowered—it completely ignored emotional status.
Even if Little Zero was mad, it still counted as begging adorably.
And Chen Xing? Totally defenseless.
His body just stopped listening to him.
He stared at Little Zero, stunned.
Meanwhile, his hands released her from his embrace.
Little Zero saw the skill succeeded, and her anger vanished instantly.
“Hehe~ That’s what you get for teasing me~ Hmph~”
She stared at Chen Xing in anticipation, eyes locked onto his hand as it moved downward.
She didn’t dare blink.
So curious—where was he hiding it?!
She thought maybe he was going to do a magic trick.
Stare~
“Mm?”
She saw his hand go to his waistband and thought:
So it’s hidden there?
Weird… I sit on that spot all the time…
Why have I never noticed it before?
Before she could figure it out—Chen Xing suddenly yanked his pants down!
Little Zero: ???
