Chapter 55

Perhaps they were really not used to it. The pair had difficulty falling asleep, and when Jian Ci wanted to turn over, he accidentally bumped into Zhou Bai, instantly brushing a hot and hard unidentified object.

Jian Ci stiffened.

Zhou Bai tensed, but he held up a false pretense.

After waiting a few beats, Jian Ci spoke with concern, “That…”

Taking in a deep breath, Zhou Bai released his arm around Jian Ci, and suppressed his voice as he spoke, “Sleep!”

Another twenty minutes passed, and Zhou Bai finally calmed down. Just as he felt a sense of drowsiness, he heard the shuffling sounds of Jian Ci looking for his slippers. “What’s going on?” He asked.

“I’m thirsty, and I left my cup in the living room,” Jian Ci replied.

Zhou Bai was sleeping on the outside, and his slippers were easier to locate. Verbally, he held Jian Ci back, “I’ll take it.”

As he walked out of the room, he spotted a black shadow sitting by the door.

Zhou Bai, “…”

Black shadow, “…”

Zhou Bai, “Dad, aren’t you overdoing this?”

Father Zhou, who was listening until he almost fell asleep, upheld his confidence and scolded softly, “Hmph! Don’t think that I won’t be able to see through this little trick of yours!

Zhou Bai was speechless.

Father Zhou continued, “Let me tell you, the two of you can’t do this, you’re just holding each other up! I wanted you to find a partner, not an anchor!”

Unable to hold it back anymore, Zhou Bai returned to the master bedroom, and stuffed something into Father Zhou’s hands.

“What’s this?” The old man paused, before turning on the lamp, and putting on a pair of short-sighted glasses. When his vision focused on the words on the item, the old man blushed, almost flinging the item onto the floor.

Despite that, the old man was appeased. Swallowing his long-winded words, he returned to his room to sleep.

Everything happened too quickly and Jian Ci, who was still in the blankets, did not know what was happening.

After drinking a mouthful of water which Zhou Bai had brought for him, he asked, “What did you let uncl… dad see?”

“An unsealed bottle of lubricant,” Zhou Bai said, expressionless.

Jian Ci, “…” Excuse me?!!
