Chapter 113: Chapter 113: This Time Consider It a Reward for Me

There was a crystal lamp on the dining table, casting brilliant and hazy light in the dim lighting.

The light shone on Cheng Yi’s handsome and sculpted features, making it hard to resist the acceleration of one’s heartbeat.

Looking at the neatly arranged utensils and the exquisite, delicious food, Xinan couldn’t help but ask, "Is all this prepared especially for me today?"

Cheng Yi elegantly picked up the knife and fork beside him and sat down across from her, smiling as he said, "Of course."

Xinan suddenly felt fortunate that she had dressed up well before going out today; otherwise, she really would have failed to live up to all Cheng Yi had prepared for her.

Xinan also picked up her knife and fork, cut a small piece of perfectly grilled steak, gently chewed it in her mouth, and then swallowed.

The meat was tender, and the flavor was very fresh.

"Try this, I think you’ll like it," Cheng Yi pointed to a small dish in front of her.

Xinan glanced at it, and it seemed to be blueberries.

She scooped some with a spoon and put it in her mouth; the natural sour-sweet taste of the fruit was not as overly sweet as the blueberries she usually ate, because of the addition of bay leaves and pine, it had a subtle woody flavor aftertaste.

She was very pleased with the taste, "It’s really quite delicious."

"As long as you like it," he said with a smile, his gaze falling on her face, his eyes as bright as the shiniest stars in the sky.

After dinner, Cheng Yi took Xinan to the rooftop on the second floor; it was the best spot to view the night scene.

The stars in the sky were dazzling, and the nearby mountains undulated gently in the breeze. Cheng Yi led Xinan to sit on a chair by the railing, "Nannan, are you happy today?"

Xinan returned from admiring the beautiful scene and looked at Cheng Yi with a contented expression: "Happy."

She hadn’t been as happy and relaxed as she was now for a long time.

So she was genuinely touched by everything Cheng Yi had done for her today.

Cheng Yi bowed his head and kissed her forehead, chuckling, "I’m also happy, but not because of the scenery, but because of the person viewing it. Staying by your side is worth any effort."

Xinan frowned slightly; although Cheng Yi had said today he wanted to pursue her, she hadn’t agreed yet, so why was he kissing her again?

She said, "I haven’t agreed to anything yet, why did you kiss me again?"

Cheng Yi coughed slightly, holding back a laugh, "Sorry, I forgot. I’ll make sure to be careful next time. Can we consider this time a reward for me?"

"Who gets a reward before they’ve succeeded?" Xinan muttered.

Cheng Yi responded, "Then I’ll start that precedent."

This time Xinan couldn’t hold back and cursed softly, looking at Cheng Yi’s smug and despicable face: "Shameless."

Cheng Yi wasn’t offended and continued to laugh, "Nannan, you can’t blame me. It’s just because you’re too beautiful."

"So being beautiful is my fault now?"

"That’s not what I meant. It’s just that Nannan’s appearance is so perfect it makes me involuntarily want to be close to you."

Cheng Yi’s explanation was so logical that Xinan thought he was wasting his talent by not being a debater.

Xinan rolled her eyes and said, "If someone else thinks you’re handsome and kisses you, would you let them?"

Cheng Yi chuckled and replied, "Others definitely wouldn’t, but if it’s you... I’d be more than willing and very cooperative."

Xinan said irritably, "Dream on! I would not!"

She definitely wouldn’t be the one to initiate!

Cheng Yi reached out and gently pinched Xinan’s cheek, murmuring, "Baby, I’m only interested in you. I would only do this kind of thing with you, and likewise, only let you do so with me."

This was the second time Cheng Yi had called her baby today, and this time it was even more tender than the last.

Xinan’s expression froze, and she averted her eyes: "I’m tired; I’m going to sleep now."

"Alright, good night, Nannan."

Xinan blurted out a quick "good night."

She then ran out of the rooftop like she was fleeing, nearly bumping into a nearby glass table, leaving Cheng Yi both worried and amused.

Cheng Yi stood still until her figure disappeared from sight, then slowly turned and left.

Back in her room, Xinan realized something was off; Cheng Yi was the one who transgressed, so why did she flee?

But she couldn’t exactly go back and argue with Cheng Yi—too embarrassing.

Somewhat annoyed, Xinan sighed, "Never mind, I’m just going to wash up and sleep."

Thinking this, Xinan went to bathe and change. After soaking in the bathtub, she realized she had forgotten to bring her pajamas in with her.

And she had also wet her clothes, rendering them unwearable.

Xinan felt her memory was getting worse.

Since she was alone in the room, going out like this shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Thinking so, Xinan cracked the door open slightly, stuck her head out to ensure no one was there, then slowly stepped out, planning to quickly dash towards the bed.

But just as she moved, the tightly shut door suddenly opened with a "click."

Xinan froze entirely, taking a full two seconds before screaming, "Ahh!"

She flailed her hands helplessly, unsure whether to cover her face or other parts.

Cheng Yi was also stunned by the scene before him; he hadn’t expected Xinan to come out of the bathroom naked.

Though they had seen each other’s bodies before, out of respect for her, as soon as he realized what had happened, he nearly immediately turned around.

Seeing Cheng Yi had turned his head, Xinan ran to the bed and wrapped herself up tightly before accusing, "Why didn’t you knock before coming in?"

Hearing Xinan’s voice, Cheng Yi turned back, slowly approaching the bed.

Only then did Xinan notice he was holding a glass of milk.

Cheng Yi set the milk on the bedside cabinet, sounding innocent, "I knocked several times and you didn’t respond; I was worried something had happened to you, so I came in. I didn’t expect to see what just happened."

Xinan’s face flushed immediately, "Forget what just happened."

Seeing Xinan’s blushing face, Cheng Yi couldn’t resist teasing her a bit more, "Nannan, are you embarrassed?"

He paused, then looked her over, "Or are you... not confident about your body?"

"Joke! How could I possibly be unconfident about my body? Do you know what my fans call me? They call me ’Little Marilyn Monroe,’ Marilyn Monroe, you know!" To refute Cheng Yi’s doubt about her confidence, Xinan repeated the last two sentences emphatically.

"Oh... I see, so you admit you’re embarrassed?" Cheng Yi feigned sudden realization.
