Chapter 150: I Beg You, Please Don't Be So Creative With Your Perversions!

When the two of them lazily carried the groceries back home, Liu Ruoxi and Nan Zhiyi were almost starving to death. Liu Ruoxi had the impulse to raid Lin'er's room for her snacks several times!

Lumped on the sofa, the two of them cast resentful glances at Qin Xuan and Lin'er, who was riding piggyback on him.

Noticing their hostile gazes, Lin'er sensibly hopped down from Qin Xuan's back. "Are you guys starved?"

She obediently handed over the roasted chicken drumsticks she had bought for them.

Liu Ruoxi took the drumsticks, shared one with Nan Zhiyi, and muttered under her breath, "That's more like it!"

Qin Xuan couldn't whether to laugh or cry at the sight. A single chicken drumstick was all it took to appease them?

Carrying the groceries into the kitchen, Qin Xuan casually whipped up two dishes and a tomato egg soup.

Once he served the food on the table and watched them eating with relish, a faint sense of satisfaction washed over Qin Xuan's face.

"Big bro, I'll be waiting for you~" Lin'er wiped her mouth after finishing her meal, gave Qin Xuan a playful wink, and then scampered back to her room with pattering footsteps.

Qin Xuan exchanged a glance with Liu Ruoxi, who simply curled her lips in a nonchalant shrug.

After wrapping up his chores, Qin Xuan returned to his room to play a game of chess.

Past ten o'clock, Liu Ruoxi started shooing him away, not even giving Qin Xuan the chance to enjoy his "dessert"...

When Qin Xuan walked up to Lin'er's door, he realized she hadn't even closed it.

Pushing the door open, he saw Lin'er swaying back and forth in front of the mirror.

"What are you up to?" Qin Xuan walked over and took a curious look, his eyes instantly lighting up.

"Hehe, how do I look?" Noticing the pleasant surprise on Qin Xuan's face, Lin'er felt a wave of delight. She twirled around in her pajamas and asked, "Do you like it?"

"Of course!" Qin Xuan scooped Lin'er up into his arms and planted a kiss right on her lips.

Lin'er had initially intended to push Qin Xuan away because she still had plenty of other outfits she wanted to show him! But the moment Qin Xuan kissed her, all thoughts of pushing him away vanished...

Shortly after, while Liu Ruoxi was still finishing the chess game Qin Xuan had left unfinished, she heard the commotion coming from the next room. She couldn't help spitting out a silent "Ugh," wondering what was the big rush!

Resignedly finishing the match, Liu Ruoxi shut down her computer and decided to seek refuge in Zhiyi's room...

Nan Zhiyi was still browsing the news when she saw Liu Ruoxi stealthily push the door open and slip inside.

"What's wrong?" Nan Zhiyi put her phone down, looked at her curiously, and seemed to figure something out. "Did they disturb you?"

"Duh!" Liu Ruoxi flopped onto Nan Zhiyi's bed in frustration. "Lin'er is making such a loud noise. You have no idea how badly I want to punch her right now!"

"Pfft!" Nan Zhiyi couldn't help bursting into laughter.

"You're just as bad, you have no right to talk about Lin'er."

Liu Ruoxi paused. Really? She was being very restrained, thank you very much!

Yet, hearing Nan Zhiyi say that, she remained unconvinced. "Next time, I'm going to record your audio!"

A blush crept onto Nan Zhiyi's face, knowing full well that she... sometimes couldn't help herself either.

"Sister Xi, there's no need for that," Nan Zhiyi quickly surrendered, ingratiatingly reaching out to massage Liu Ruoxi's shoulders.

The two chatted idly for a little longer before gradually drifting off to sleep.

In the middle of the night.

Nan Zhiyi was startled awake, only to find that Liu Ruoxi had hogged all the thin blankets covering them.

Getting out of bed, Liu Ruoxi sleepily slipped on her slippers and headed out to use the restroom, only to bump into a drowsy Lin'er rubbing her eyes as she emerged from her room.

"Lin'er? What are you doing?"

Nan Zhiyi hadn't turned on the lights, and her sudden voice startled Lin'er. Once Lin'er regained her senses, she noticed Zhiyi dressed in her pajamas.

"Going to the bathroom. What about you?"

Nan Zhiyi stepped forward and hooked her arm around Lin'er's shoulder, while her eyes stealthily peeked back toward the room.

"Let's go together!"

"Get lost!" Nan Zhiyi rolled her eyes at Lin'er and gave her a shove. Watching the disgruntled girl shut the bathroom door, Nan Zhiyi scampered leisurely into Lin'er's room instead.

Seeing Qin Xuan sleeping like a log on the bed, Nan Zhiyi reached out and pinched his cheek before kicking off her slippers, climbing onto the bed, and curling up against his arm.

When Lin'er finished washing her hands and came out, she found Zhiyi gone, assuming she had simply gone back to her own room.

However, the moment she returned to her room, closed the door, and prepared to slide back into her spot, she realized something was amiss.

"Sister Zhiyi..." Lin'er clenched her fists, itching to give her a punch. How dare you steal my spot!

Lin'er shoved Nan Zhiyi's hip, only to find her completely unresponsive, pretending to be fast asleep right there.

With no other choice, Lin'er had no option but to crawl over the two of them to the other side of Qin Xuan, grabbing his arm and lying down.

Before closing her eyes, she vented her frustration by giving Nan Zhiyi a sharp slap. Stealing my spot...

In the dark, Nan Zhiyi's face turned beet red. *I'll deal with you tomorrow!*

The next morning, the moment Qin Xuan woke up, he felt as though both his arms were entirely numb...

Befuddled, he looked at the two people on either side of him.

What on earth was going on? Wasn't he in Lin'er's room? How did Zhiyi end up here?!

With great effort, he managed to pull his arms free and massaged them while trying to recall the previous night. Surely Zhiyi hadn't been there?

Reaching out, he pinched the tip of Nan Zhiyi's nose, instantly guessing she was the mastermind behind this trick.

He changed into fresh clothes, got up to wash up, and prepared to whip up breakfast to feed the three of them.

When Liu Ruoxi woke up, she found the situation rather peculiar. Nan Zhiyi was nowhere to be found. Initially assuming Zhiyi had already gotten up, she changed her clothes and stepped out, only to watch with a bizarre expression as Nan Zhiyi sleepily ambled out of Lin'er's room... *What on earth were you guys doing behind my back?*

Noticing Liu Ruoxi's interrogation-like stare, Nan Zhiyi suddenly felt a pang of guilt. Why was she nervous?

"Sister Xi~ I was just waking Lin'er up, and I was about to come wake you next," Nan Zhiyi said with an innocent smile, stepping forward to link arms with Liu Ruoxi.

That remark left Liu Ruoxi momentarily stunned. *Is that so?*

Over by the stove where he was simmering porridge, Qin Xuan overheard Nan Zhiyi's excuse and let out a chuckle. Nan Zhiyi shot him a menacing glare, forcing him to immediately reign in his laughter.

"Then why hasn't Lin'er gotten up yet?" Liu Ruoxi asked, glancing at the empty hallway behind her, which looked nothing like someone who had just been woken up.

"She... said she wanted to sleep a little longer and would be right up." With that, Nan Zhiyi scurried back, shook Lin'er awake, and whispered something in her ear. Lin'er, who had initially been upset about being disturbed, suddenly snapped to alertness at those words.

Liu Ruoxi watched the two of them walking out arm-in-arm, acting as thick as thieves, and felt utterly bewildered.

At the breakfast table, the group happily sipped their porridge and crunched on pickled side dishes, though Qin Xuan kept having the distinct feeling that Lin'er and Zhiyi kept glancing at him sideways. It felt as though... they were plotting something against him!

After the meal, Qin Xuan grabbed Nan Zhiyi just as she was about to head back to change her clothes.

"Why were you sleeping in Lin'er's room this morning?" he asked with genuine curiosity.

Nan Zhiyi smirked. "What? Did you wake up to find two pretty girls on either side of you and your brain couldn't process it?"

Qin Xuan gave her an awkward look. *Please, I beg you not to pull such wild stunts!*

"Alright, alright. I'll let you enjoy it more often in the future," Nan Zhiyi said, patting Qin Xuan on the shoulder with the air of an instructor before slipping back into her room in her slippers.

Standing there on the spot, Qin Xuan couldn't help imagining that exact scenario... *What if I can't handle it? It looks like I really need to step up my physical workouts!*
