Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Mom and Dad, What Game Are You Playing?

The bedside lamp was turned off.

The room plunged into darkness.

Panting.

Clothes were slipping off.

Just as Su Luo and Xia Yi, under the impulse of drunkenness, forgot themselves in the heat of the moment, their passion intensifying, Su Luo finally reached the last step, about to "mount his horse and seize the fortress," on the verge of breaching the gates.

The voice of Nian Nian suddenly rang out:

"Daddy, Mommy, what game are you playing?"

That sentence, like a bucket of cold water, instantly sobered the two, who were lost in their lustful confusion.

"Get, get down,"

Xia Yi’s face turned pale as she came to her senses, quickly patting Su Luo as she spoke in a panic.

For Su Luo at that moment, it was an extreme test of his will.

He was just one step away from merging with Xia Yi.

But he managed to hold back with great difficulty, hurriedly rolling off and, together with Xia Yi, pulling over the blanket to cover their bodies.

"Nian Nian, did you wake up?" Xia Yi asked, somewhat at a loss.

"Mommy, I still want to sleep," Nian Nian mumbled, groggily crawling up from the end of the bed, her eyes heavy with sleep, barely open, blindly cuddling into Xia Yi’s embrace.

Xia Yi, through the blanket, hugged Nian Nian and gently pat her back. "Nian Nian is good, if you want to sleep, continue to sleep, okay?"

"But I also want to play games with Daddy and Mommy," Nian Nian murmured, too sleepy to keep her eyes open, but still whispering.

"Daddy and Mommy..." Xia Yi paused, her face burning hot, extremely embarrassed, "we weren’t playing games! Be good, Nian Nian, go back to sleep, and tomorrow Daddy and Mommy will play games with you, okay?"

There was no response.

"She’s fallen asleep already!" Su Luo, who had night vision, could also sense Nian Nian’s state.

Xia Yi finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, Nian Nian didn’t see anything." She felt so embarrassed she wanted to find a crack in the floor to disappear into.

Afterwards, Xia Yi placed Nian Nian on the bed, properly covering her with the blanket.

She herself wrapped her body tightly with the blanket to avoid exposure.

Silence.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"Sister Yi, I’m... I’m sorry, I was the one who got carried away," Su Luo broke the silence after a while, also secretly regretting, feeling he had been too impulsive.

"It’s not your fault, I... I’m also responsible," Xia Yi whispered, biting her lip, her cheeks flushed as if she could bleed.

She could have refused Su Luo, she believed that if she had firmly refused, Su Luo definitely would not have forced her.

But she hadn’t managed to refuse firmly, instead getting carried away, so it wasn’t entirely Su Luo’s fault.

"I..." Su Luo wanted to say more, but Xia Yi interrupted him, "Su Luo, let’s just pretend what just happened didn’t happen, okay?"

Pretend it never happened?

Su Luo gave a bitter smile.

How could he ever pretend it didn’t happen?

Nevertheless, at that moment, Su Luo was filled with regret, realizing he had been too impulsive before, even forgetting about Nian Nian’s presence.

If he and Xia Yi had gone all the way, breaking that final barrier, it would have been okay, but it was precisely interrupted at the last minute, which made the situation between him and Xia Yi incredibly awkward.

"Sister Yi, I..."

A moment later, Su Luo tried to speak again, hoping to communicate with Xia Yi.

However, Xia Yi quickly interrupted him again: "Su Luo, I said, we’ll just act as if nothing happened, don’t mention it again, okay?"

Su Luo looked at Xia Yi.

Silent for a moment.

"Alright," Su Luo nodded. Since Xia Yi didn’t want to talk about it, he naturally wouldn’t insist against her wishes, otherwise, it would only backfire.

"Well then... let’s go to sleep," Su Luo said.

Xia Yi hesitated, struggling to speak. After a moment, she finally mustered the courage to say, "Could you please... hand me, hand me my clothes..."

That was when Su Luo realized, both he and Xia Yi were completely naked.

Xia Yi’s sleepwear, including her underwear, had been stripped off by him and tossed beside the bed.

Su Luo quickly picked up Xia Yi’s underwear and sleepwear and handed them to her.

"Can you turn around first, please?" Xia Yi took the clothes but even in the darkness, she felt too embarrassed to dress in front of Su Luo, especially her underwear.

"Sure," Su Luo immediately turned around and also picked up his own clothes, getting dressed in the dark.

"Where are you going?" Xia Yi blurted out as she saw Su Luo putting on his clothes and then getting out of bed.

Su Luo said, "I’ll go sleep on the sofa, that way, you can sleep more peacefully."

Otherwise, continuing to lie in the same bed would be torture for him, and perhaps for Xia Yi as well—it might stir her emotions and prevent her from falling asleep.

Xia Yi’s lips trembled. She had wanted to ask him to stay, to let Su Luo sleep comfortably in the bed, but in the end, the words just wouldn’t come out.

Perhaps, maintaining some distance between them was for the best, and indeed, it was what they should do!

...

The next morning, when Xia Yi woke up, she found that she was the only one left in the room.

Su Luo and Nian Nian had already gone without a trace.

"We are in the restaurant."

Right then, Xia Yi’s phone rang, bringing her a message from Su Luo.

Xia Yi was a little stunned.

How did Su Luo know precisely when she had woken up?

Suddenly, she remembered... last night when they went out for barbecue, Su Luo said he could sense Nian Nian’s situation. So, even now while Su Luo was in the restaurant, could he still be aware of her state in real time?

A warm current flowed through her heart.

Once upon a time, only her mother cared for her in this world. After her mother passed away, she had her daughter, and Nian Nian cared about her. Now... it seemed there was one more person who cared for her.

Thinking of Su Luo.

She couldn’t help but recall what happened last night, how close she and Su Luo had come to actually doing it.

This made Xia Yi’s expression somewhat complicated.

In the restaurant.

Su Luo, Nian Nian, and Zhou Ye were having breakfast.

Nian Nian nibbled on her custard bun and asked, "Daddy, why hasn’t Mommy gotten out of bed yet?"

"Mommy went to bed late last night and is a bit tired, but she’s up now and will be here soon," Su Luo explained with a smile.

Beside them, Zhou Ye looked at Su Luo with a gaze full of admiration, almost ready to give Su Luo a thumbs up.

Su Luo immediately knew Zhou Ye had misunderstood.

But he didn’t say anything because, in a way, Zhou Ye wasn’t entirely wrong; he and Xia Yi really had come very close to doing it, and if it weren’t for Nian Nian, last night surely would have been a wild one.

Before long.

Xia Yi appeared in the restaurant.

Nian Nian immediately waved at Xia Yi, and Su Luo stood up to greet her and invite her to sit down.

Before coming over, Xia Yi had prepared herself mentally, thinking she could interact with Su Luo normally as if nothing had happened.

But upon actually facing Su Luo, she found she couldn’t.

She involuntarily dodged Su Luo’s gaze, unable to look him in the eye.

Scenes from last night kept involuntarily surfacing in her mind.

After breakfast.

Xia Yi pulled Su Luo aside: "Su Luo, I want to discuss something with you. I’m thinking... I think I’ll take Nian Nian back to Jiangbei. We’ve already come out for a trip with you. From now on, you take care of your business, and Nian Nian and I will head back to Jiangbei, okay?"
