After drying her hair, Chi Jiao asked him, “Is this kitty yours? What’s its name?”
“Milk,” Quan Jue answered indifferently.
“It should be called Chocolate Milk.” Chi Jiao felt that such a contrasting name on the black kitten sounded cute.
“You should sleep. You still have to go to school tomorrow,” Quan Jue said in a tone that left no room for negotiation.
Chi Jiao looked at the time again. It was already midnight.
Her body clock generally made her too tired to open her eyes by 10 PM. Everyone close to her knew that no matter how important the matter was, it couldn’t delay her bedtime at 10 PM.
But now, she was miraculously not sleepy at all.
Although she wasn’t tired, it was indeed time for her to rest.
“Then, should I sleep here?” Chi Jiao patted the soft sofa.
“Go to my room,” Quan Jue said.
“To your room?” Chi Jiao widened her eyes in surprise, and her ears instantly turned red.
“I’ll sleep in the small room.” Quan Jue pointed at the room opposite his bedroom.
This house had two bedrooms and a living room, with a bed in the secondary bedroom.
Chi Jiao was ashamed of her thoughts. She had to remember that she was still underage at all times. It was best if she didn’t have those nasty thoughts.
“Brother Quan, goodnight.” Chi Jiao could feel that her ears were still a little hot. She covered them and quickly got up before slipping into the bedroom.
Just before Chi Jiao closed the bedroom door, Quan Jue saw her sneaking out her petite hand and making a small heart pose with it. His thin lips curled up unconsciously at that.
She was still young now, and he had plenty of time to grow up with her.
Since he had already made up his mind, there was no way he would let go again.
Quan Jue looked deeply in the bedroom door’s direction before turning around and walking towards the small room.
The boy’s bedroom was decorated very simply. Chi Jiao lay on the warm bed. The covers and bedsheets had probably just been changed not long ago, and there was a faint smell of detergent.
Not sleepy at all previously, Chi Jiao immediately felt attacked by a strong sense of sleepiness the moment she touched the bed. Without realizing it, she closed her eyes.

The lights in the living room were switched off, and this small world fell completely silent.
Chi Jiao had a dream. She dreamed of her previous life again.
The despair in Quan Jue’s face was so clear that she almost suffocated.
Chi Jiao was woken up by the suffocating feeling. She sat up abruptly and looked at her unfamiliar surroundings before recalling where she was.
Chi Jiao took out her phone from under her pillow and looked at the time. She had only slept for two hours. It was 2 AM now.
After she had calmed her breathing, Chi Jiao quietly got off the bed.
In the secondary room.
Quan Jue had always been a light sleeper. The slightest movement would wake him up.
Although Chi Jiao had already opened the door very carefully, the slight movement still woke the young man lying on the bed.
Quan Jue lay on the bed without moving as his dark eyes looked at the girl who had crept in through the door crack.
She was still wearing the loose black pajamas. Her soft and long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she looked extremely obedient.
“Why aren’t you sleeping?” Quan Jue asked suddenly just as Chi Jiao was about to walk to the bed.
Chi Jiao hadn’t expected him to speak. She was so frightened by the sudden noise that her body visibly trembled.
“I had a nightmare. I’m a little afraid, and now I can’t fall asleep.” Her tone was pitiful.
Quan Jue wondered if he owed her something in his previous life that made him unable to resist her wheedling now.
“Then, what do you want to do? Trying to sleep with me?” Quan Jue asked.
