“Hmm… Chen Xing…?” Zero turned around with a puzzled expression.

As soon as she turned, she saw Chen Xing, wrapped in a towel with a smile on his face. She was so startled that her body stood upright, and she instinctively took two steps back.

“Wow…!”

Unexpectedly, as she stepped back, she stumbled. And fell backward!

“Ugh~… Chen Xing…” As Zero fell backward, she subconsciously reached out her arm towards Chen Xing. Her beautiful eyes were filled with panic as she looked at him.

“Smack!” Chen Xing stepped forward and firmly grabbed her hand. In one smooth motion, he pulled her closer into his embrace.

“Thud~” Zero’s little face unexpectedly landed against Chen Xing’s chest. There were still some droplets of water on it, making it feel damp.

“Uh… Let go of me.” Zero was pressed against Chen Xing’s solid chest, and her face felt like it was on fire.

“Yikes!” She suddenly pushed away, trying to free herself from his embrace.

But wait, he wasn’t wearing any clothes… And his lower half was only covered by a towel!

Just the thought of it almost short-circuited Zero’s brain.

Chen Xing chuckled softly and let her go.

“Uh…” She quickly took two steps back and covered her eyes with her hands. “Uh… can’t look, can’t look…”

Chen Xing walked up to her with a smile: “What’s there not to look at? We’re an old married couple.”

“Uh… no… it’s not… we’re not an old… ” She said while covering her eyes, attempting to slip away from Chen Xing’s side.

Blinded by her covered eyes, she thought this place was as spacious as her own home. And she charged straight into the wall.

Chen Xing once again gently pulled her back into his embrace. Then he lifted her up effortlessly. The motion was seamless, like flowing clouds and water!

“Wuu…” Zero covered her eyes and even kicked her own foot. She was protesting fervently in his embrace!

Seeing her so unruly, Chen Xing smiled and whispered softly in her ear: “You sneaked a drink during the day, and I haven’t punished you yet.”

“Hmm? …No, you can’t!” Zero suddenly protested!

“Oh? Why not?” As he spoke, Chen Xing had already carried her and sat her on the bed.

“Because… if you want to punish me… you have to have my consent! Hmph… I don’t agree!” Righteous and defiant, Zero’s serious expression amused Chen Xing.

She even wanted to play hard to get!?

A crisp “smack!” sound! Clear and loud!

It lightly landed on her bouncing bottom. Zero froze for a moment, then struggled again in Chen Xing’s embrace! “Wow! Chen Xing! You hit me! Waa…”

No matter how she struggled, Chen Xing didn’t let go of her.

“Waa… don’t hit me… if you hit me again… I’ll cry!” Zero pouted, her face full of grievances!

Chen Xing kept his smile all along, a smug grin on his face. With a sly expression, he asked, “Did it hurt?”

“Hurt! Hmph…” Although she said that, deep down she was thinking: Hmph… it didn’t hurt… but I won’t give you the satisfaction of admitting it, no way!

Chen Xing put away his smile and pretended to be surprised: “Hurt!? Then let me massage it for you.” As he said this, that sinful hand reached out again!

“Hmm!?”

“You, you, you… um! Let go of me… wow!”

“Waa… I… I was wrong, Chen Xing…”

“Wrong about what?” Chen Xing punished her while asking with a smile.

For Zero, it was punishment, but not exactly punishment. For Chen Xing… well, let’s not say anything more, the feeling was really great! He could play like this for a whole year!

“I… um… let me go…” Right after Zero uttered those words with a pout, Chen Xing suddenly froze.

He felt like his body was suddenly out of his control and, as if possessed, he let her go!

In the split second of his distraction, Zero had already slipped out of Chen Xing’s embrace. “Hehe! You stinky husb-… bah… you stinky Chen Xing! Bullying me… hmph…”

Then, in a flash, she ran to the door and hid behind it, poking her little head out. Fearfully observing Chen Xing’s reaction…

If he made any move, she was planning to close the door and escape!

Chen Xing immediately realized that she used that Adorable skill: Irresistible Pouting again! However, he didn’t mind; the night was still young… She could only use that skill once a day anyway.

He smiled and said, “Come back. I won’t tease you anymore.”

“Hmm… I don’t believe you… hmpf!” Hiding behind the door, Zero made a mischievous face at him.

“Bang!”

Before she could finish making a face, Chen Xing was already right in front of her!

“Wow! Waa…” Terrified, she turned her head and tried to run.

But before she could take two steps, Chen Xing scooped her up like picking up a kitten, holding her by the armpits and lifting her off the ground. Her feet were dangling several tens of centimeters above the floor.

Zero’s little legs were still running in the air. Suddenly feeling suspended, she stopped her feet after a couple of seconds.

“Waa…” Facing forward, she couldn’t see Chen Xing behind her at all. However, being held up like this, she surprisingly found it… quite fun!

But it was also a little embarrassing, so she begged for mercy: “I was wrong… Chen Xing…”

Chen Xing smiled, bent his arms, and lowered her slightly in front of him. Even so, Zero’s feet were still off the ground. He gently asked, “What did you just call me? Stinky husband?”

His breath tickled her ear, making her feel unbearably itchy! Feeling tickled, she instinctively tightened her neck and pretended to sob, pleading, “Waa… I won’t dare anymore… I was wrong!”

Seeing her like this, Chen Xing couldn’t help but chuckle: “You’re not wrong. Say it again, I want to hear it!”

“Hmm… I won’t dare… I won’t say it… put me down…” Zero shrank her neck, bit her lip tightly, the tickling in her ear was unbearable!

Chen Xing laughed and sighed, then simply embraced her.

“Hmm?” Zero finally returned from the state of being held like a kitten, back to the familiar embrace. She took a long breath, her small hand still behind her ear, gently scratching.

Chen Xing suddenly kissed her and then smiled, saying, “Say it again?”

Zero was puzzled for a moment, thinking he still wanted to tease her, so she quickly begged for mercy, “Hmm… I really won’t dare anymore… I swear… I won’t curse again… please don’t do it again…”

But Chen Xing shook his head with a smile, “No no no… I just want to hear it. If you say it again, I won’t tease you anymore.”

???

Zero was full of question marks, not understanding what Chen Xing was thinking. However, she cautiously whispered, “Stinky Chen Xing…”

Chen Xing shook his head again with a smile, “The previous sentence!”

“Hmm?” Zero immediately understood what he wanted to hear. He wanted to hear her call him “husband”!

“I don’t want to… that… that was a slip of the tongue… I don’t really think that way!”

“Oh!?” Chen Xing lightly poked her soft flesh with his finger.

“Um…” Zero immediately caved in!

Suddenly she shouted loudly, “Stinky… husband! Bullying me! Hmph!”

After saying it, she felt like she had spoken too loudly, and she was a bit afraid that Chen Xing would get angry. So, she timidly looked at him.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xing was laughing so joyfully: “Say it again!”

“Hmm?”

“Stinky… husband…”

“Cough cough… one more time!”

“Um… you foolish husband!”

“Haha… one more time.”

Zero furrowed her cute little brows, looking at Chen Xing who was laughing like a silly person, a bit puzzled. For the first time, she felt that her ‘husband’ might have a problem somewhere…

Even San’er couldn’t help but comment: 【Aren’t you shameless!】

Chen Xing was in such a good mood that even being scolded by San’er didn’t bother him at all: “I have a wife, do you?”

【…】 The clown turns out to be me…

Seeing Chen Xing so happy, Zero wanted to take advantage of his good mood and ask him: “Hmm… husband… put me down!”

“Huh? No, Chen Xing… put me down!” She had shouted too many times just now, and she accidentally yelled smoothly.

Chen Xing chuckled lightly and sat down on the sofa, holding her in his arms. Of course, it was the sofa that San’er had cleaned. Otherwise, the bath would have been in vain.

“Hehe~” Zero slipped out of his embrace with a smile and sat down beside him.

Chen Xing leaned back on the sofa, looking at this little cutie in front of him with tender eyes. He whispered softly, “Say it again?”

“Hmm… husband… is a super big fool! Hehe!”

“Haha…” Chen Xing couldn’t stop laughing, even making Zero feel a bit silly.

She burst into laughter: “Why are you laughing so happily?”

Chen Xing shook his head, still grinning, without saying a word. He opened his arms, the gesture obvious: Come here and let me hug you!

“Hmm…” Zero looked at the towel wrapped around him, exuding a flirtatious aura, and quickly shook her head. “No, no… I’m going to take a bath! Um…”

After saying that, she ran towards her room, suddenly stopping her steps. She turned around and walked towards Chen Xing’s room door, then paused at the entrance. With a mischievous smile, she squinted her eyes at him: “Hehe… the bathroom in my room is broken…”

Chen Xing immediately understood that she wanted to play the game they had played on the first night. He withdrew his smile once again, instantly getting into character!

“Oh, then you can sleep in this room, and I’ll go to your room.”

“Oh, by the way, I just laid on that bed, do you mind? If you do, then forget it.”

Chen Xing’s acting skills were unparalleled, his immersion was too strong. Zero instantly felt like she had gone back in time. Blushing and shy, she stammered, “No need… you can sleep in your room, I’ll shower quickly!”

After saying that, she quickly slipped into her room.

Chen Xing smiled, just about to divert his gaze, when suddenly Zero poked her head out again.

“Hmm? What’s wrong?” He asked.

Seeing her blushing, her face showing two sweet dimples, she said shyly: “Well… I don’t mind… hehe…”

Then she slipped into the bathroom and closed the door.

【Ding~ Sweetness Points have reached one hundred thousand, you can redeem the Ultimate Achievement Gift Package!】

Chen Xing raised an eyebrow when he heard this: “Oh? You managed to eat so much while I wasn’t looking? Well, some people really are saying one thing and meaning another…”
