Xu Yan pouted, "Tch! You're always saying I'm too young. How is twenty too young?"
Ye Jin played with her fingers, holding her hand. "You still don't understand anything."
Xu Yan was quite curious: "How do you know I don't understand if you don't tell me? Besides, you could teach me if I don't know!"
Ye Jin tried to dodge the question: "Hmm... it's not the right time yet. We'll talk about it later."
Xu Yan felt he was brushing her off. She climbed onto the bed in a huff: "Hmph! If you won't tell me, then don't!"
She complained in a small, pitiful voice: "I love Tizi so much, but Tizi doesn't love me back."
Ye Jin couldn't take it anymore. He decisively grabbed the blanket and wrapped Xu Yan up entirely: "I love you, I love you."
Xu Yan struggled, unable to break free, with only her head poking out of the blanket: "L-let me go!"
Ye Jin pretended not to hear, lying down next to her: "Time to sleep, time to sleep. No more talking, Yan Yan."
Xu Yan rolled back and forth on the bed: "No, no! I want to keep talking!"
Ye Jin sighed, hugging Xu Yan through the blanket: "If you keep rolling around, I'm going to get naughty."
Xu Yan suddenly stopped, blinking her eyes: "Then let me go, and we'll see who gets naughty first."
Ye Jin: "..."
What was up with this kid?
He simply closed his eyes and ignored Xu Yan.
Xu Yan, held in Ye Jin's arms, unable to move, muttered to herself for a while. Finally, she couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell into a hazy sleep.
Feeling the young girl's breathing become steady in his arms, Ye Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief and carefully released Xu Yan.
He propped his head up with one hand, lying on his side, and gently tapped Xu Yan's nose: "You little rascal, you're getting naughtier and naughtier."
Xu Yan, in her sleepy haze, unconsciously nuzzled against Ye Jin's chest: "Tizi... Ye Jin..."
Ye Jin softly stroked her hair: "I'm here, Yan Yan."
Xu Yan slept until the afternoon before waking up. Still groggy and not fully awake, she called out: "Ye Jin..."
But after waiting for a while, there was no response from Ye Jin.
Xu Yan rubbed her eyes, finally becoming a bit more alert.
The digital clock by the bed showed it was just past noon.
As she was about to get up to look for Ye Jin, the door to the room opened from the outside.
She looked at the doorway in confusion, only to see a majestic white wolf entering with steady steps.
Xu Yan was dumbfounded for a good while before finally realizing what was happening. She pounced forward, exclaiming joyfully: "Tizi!"
Ye Jin, seeing the young girl crouching in front of him, gently placed his paw on her hand.
Xu Yan immediately grabbed Ye Jin's paw and hugged him tightly: "Tizi! I love you so much like this!"
She grinned as she stroked the fur on Ye Jin's back: "Ye Jin."
Ye Jin blinked at Xu Yan, signaling her to close her eyes.
Xu Yan was a bit confused but obediently closed her eyes: "Ye Jin, what are you doing?"
"Yan Yan, you can open your eyes now." His voice was especially deep. When Xu Yan opened her eyes, she was caught off guard by the sight of Ye Jin, who had just transformed back into human form, shirtless.
Xu Yan instinctively covered her eyes: "Y-y-you! Ye Jin, put some clothes on!"
There was a hint of amusement in Ye Jin's voice: "Yan Yan, why are you panicking?"
Xu Yan sneakily parted her fingers to peek at Ye Jin. But she ended up making direct eye contact with him.
She hurriedly covered her eyes again: "I-I-I... I didn't see anything!"
She didn't see his muscles! Didn't see his abs! She didn't see anything!
Ye Jin unhurriedly put on a t-shirt, then gently pulled Xu Yan's hands away from her eyes: "It's okay if Yan Yan saw."
Xu Yan's face was bright red: "Why did you change back again?"
Ye Jin smoothed out her messy hair: "I prefer this form."
Xu Yan looked at him with moist eyes: "Why? The white wolf form is super cool too."
Ye Jin caressed her face, naturally leaning down to kiss her: "Because only in this form can I be with Yan Yan openly."
Xu Yan was touched, while also marveling at how Ye Jin was getting more and more natural at being flirty. She grabbed Ye Jin's hand and gently bit it: "Ye Jin, later... after I graduate, will we get married?"
Ye Jin cupped her face, pressing his forehead against hers: "Yes. Actually, if I wasn't worried about Uncle Xu and Aunt Bai thinking I'm unreliable, I'd want you to marry me right now."
Xu Yan gently gnawed on Ye Jin's hand: "Mm, my parents don't know we've known each other for so long!"
She suddenly turned coy: "Besides, I don't want to get married so early!"
Ye Jin looked at her in amusement: "Why not?"
Xu Yan pouted: "Other girls are dating, I want to date first too."
Ye Jin blinked: "But Yan Yan, aren't we dating right now?"
Xu Yan froze for a moment: "Oh, I guess we are."
She realized: "I mean I want to date for longer! At least five... five months!"
Ye Jin's heart skipped a beat, but he relaxed when he heard the end: "Alright, let's go then."
Xu Yan was a bit confused: "Go where?"
Ye Jin took out a t-shirt similar to the one he was wearing from the closet: "Aren't we going on a date? I'll take you out. Put this on first, Yan Yan."
Xu Yan's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
She changed into the shirt in the bathroom before coming out, then stood in front of the mirror to look at herself and Ye Jin: "Wow! Could this be... couple outfits?"
It wasn't the first time Ye Jin realized how adorably clueless his little girlfriend was. He went along with it: "Yes, do you like it, Yan Yan?"
Xu Yan furrowed her brow: "I think... hmm... I would choose something prettier!"
Ye Jin's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He narrowed his eyes: "Yan Yan, what do you think of your aesthetic sense from before... I mean, from a long time ago?"
Xu Yan knew he was asking about her previous life. She answered without hesitation: "It was absolutely amazing!"
Ye Jin: "..."
Whether it was amazing or not, it was certainly quite clueless.
So the little one's terrible taste wasn't inherited from her family genes after all?!
Ye Jin's expression was extremely conflicted. Xu Yan said weakly, "My taste really isn't that bad..."
Her voice grew softer as she spoke. Ye Jin hugged her, holding back his laughter: "Yan Yan, do you even believe that yourself?"
Xu Yan, whose aesthetic sense had been criticized by Bai Hua and Xu Mo for twenty years: "..."
She grew embarrassed and angry: "Hmph!"
Ye Jin couldn't help but laugh continuously: "Alright, alright. How about next time we let Yan Yan choose the clothes?"
