"Giving in, it's impossible to give in, Ariel."
"Beast."
"Yes, I'm a beast." Xu Ke stretched lazily like a well-fed beast.
When he held Ariel, there was a gentle tenderness and infinite tolerance in his eyes. One hand supported Ariel's buttocks, the other gently patting her back, soothingly, as if calming a child.
"You bastard." Ariel moved her finger, pressing it against Xu Ke's back, muttering from her mouth.
"Yes, yes, I'm a bastard." Xu Ke said compliantly, carrying her towards the bedroom.
"Next time you have to be lenient with me." Ariel took the opportunity to make her request.
"That depends on your own ability." Xu Ke raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"No, you have to be lenient with me, or I won't be with you anymore." Ariel pouted discontently.
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. Now, sleep." Xu Ke gently placed her on the bed, coaxing softly.
"Then you lie beside me and keep me company." Ariel patted the space beside her, speaking sweetly.
