Pei Yuanchen took a deep breath and grabbed her wrist: "He Ziyi, just lie down and sleep peacefully!"
She brushed her burning cheek against his chest, her voice soft and muffled: "I haven't taken a bath yet. Mom says I must get a good wash before I can sleep."
"Then go take a bath!" Pei Yuanchen finally caught her hands and shook them off.
But He Ziyi persistently hugged him again: "Help me bathe, please!"
"No way." Pei Yuanchen said hoarsely, "Didn't your mom tell you not to undress in front of strangers?"
"But you're not a stranger." He Ziyi mumbled.
Pei Yuanchen thought she was about to say, "Because you're Uncle Xiaobao," but then she lifted her flushed face, smiling dreamily: "You're my boyfriend. I heard couples always sleep together and even bathe together."
Pei Yuanchen felt his heart skip two beats.
"Who said I'm your boyfriend? Did I agree?" Pei Yuanchen's voice was noticeably hoarse.
