In the third year of high school, Xiaofan met Shen Zuimo. He thought she was a big trouble. But because he couldn't just stand by and do nothing, he brought her home.

After spending some time together, Xiaofan discovered that even if Shen Zuimo was a trouble, she was a beautiful trouble.

When he came home and saw a table full of delicious food, when he returned late at night to find a bowl of steaming hot noodles waiting for him. When his feet were sore from training, and she massaged them for him. Xiaofan knew that if bringing her home was a wrong choice, then he would rather be wrong again and again.

So, at that time, the awkward high school student secretly vowed that one day, if he had the ability, he would accompany her to buy the prettiest and her favorite clothes, then take her to eat her favorite seafood, and finally pour a basin of hot water and personally soak her tired little feet from shopping. Lastly, hold her and let her sleep lazily in his arms like a cute little pig until she naturally wakes up.

Of course, this wish is still far from being fulfilled now, because Xiaofan wants it to last a lifetime, not just for one day.

And today, the reason Xiaofan did this was just to let her slowly adapt to his presence after forgetting about him, and after such a long time, it was only right to calculate some interest for her.

"I said, just this once, if you want me to wash them for you next time, I'll charge by the minute."

The small, delicate jade-like feet were in his palm, and Xiaofan applied just the right amount of pressure.

Sitting on the sofa, Shen Zuimo had never had such intimate contact with a man before. Though unaccustomed, she didn't dislike it. At least his massage was quite comfortable.

"Do you usually chase girls like this?" Even if it was a question, that icy tone couldn't be changed.

"It depends on whether the other person is as pretty as you."

"You have many girlfriends, don't you?"

"Yes, you even helped me with ideas for chasing one before, but it eventually ended badly." Xiaofan was talking about Liu Siyan, although the feeling wasn't very obvious at the time, Shen Zuimo was indeed jealous because of Liu Siyan.

"Why did things turn out badly?" Shen Zuimo's curiosity was piqued.

"In our line of work, who knows when I'll die. I can't give anyone happiness, so why drag someone down with me for a lifetime?" Xiaofan said bitterly.

"Then why are you bothering with me now?"

"You're different, aren't you? You're being tightly watched by the Red Butterfly now. Besides, if one of us accidentally dies, wouldn't that be such a pity? So, I should cherish the time we both are alive."

Although this reasoning was a bit twisted, it wasn't entirely without sense. Indeed, one never really knows when they'll die. Life truly is about seizing the moment.

"Ye Xiaofan..."

"Hmm?"

For some reason, after hearing Xiaofan's words, Shen Zuimo wanted to call him, but after calling him, she didn't know what to say.

The two of them stared at each other for a short while, one sitting on the sofa and the other squatting below, gently massaging her feet.

"The water's cold. I'm done."

"Alright."

"Let me do it." She couldn't let him even wipe her feet. If this kept going, she feared she would really fall into that dreadful tangle.

The TV was on, the air conditioning set to twenty-six degrees. It was a bit chilly outside, but the room was extremely warm.

It was that awkward moment again; there was only one bed in the entire room. After shopping all day, and now it was time to rest, but... two people, how would they sleep?

"Zuimo, are you sleepy?"

"Why?"

"To sleep."

"How do we sleep on one bed?"

"It's big enough, two people can sleep together, of course."

"Why should I squeeze in with you?"

"Because you said sleeping in my arms wouldn't give you nightmares. You should try it; you always used to run into my room and snuggle into my arms when you were scared."

How shameless, how could this guy say such baseless things? Even if she had nightmares, she wouldn't feel scared once she woke up; after all, she wasn't afraid of the people in her dreams when they were alive, let alone now that they're dead.

"Dream on, you can sleep by yourself, I'm watching TV."

"Really not joining?"

"Nonsense. Just because I went out with you today doesn't mean I've agreed to anything. I'm not that kind of easy woman..."

"Oh dear, why lie on the sofa when there's such a comfortable bed. Seriously..." Saying this, Xiaofan didn't insist anymore and jumped onto the bed, falling right asleep.

He just slept like that? Didn't push a bit more? Didn't use more excuses to 'trick' her over? What kind of person is this?

Yes, this tangled mindset was just like that; Shen Zuimo couldn't think with a normal mindset anymore. Her mind started to wander. For example, seeing Xiaofan fall asleep instantly, she surprisingly felt a little disappointed inside.

Watching TV, sleepiness slowly overcame her too. She was indeed a bit tired, this shopping felt like completing a mission, shopping all day and then eating so much, she really wanted to have a good night's sleep.

But is it really okay to stay in the same room with this guy? What if he does something beastly while she's asleep?

As she was lost in thought, Shen Zuimo's eyelids grew heavier, and she eventually couldn't keep them open, falling asleep.

Ten minutes after Shen Zuimo fell asleep, Xiaofan climbed out of bed. He walked quietly toward the sofa. Looking at that delicate face, the tender expression appeared on Xiaofan's face.

"Fool, how could I let you sleep on the sofa."

Xiaofan's steps were light, intentionally controlled. He came in front of Shen Zuimo and gently lifted her up horizontally.

But who is Shen Zuimo? As an assassin, she would wake up from even the slightest movement, let alone being picked up entirely by someone.

So, the moment she was lifted, Shen Zuimo's hand immediately reached Xiaofan's throat. Her eyes, icy cold, stared at him.

"You've really disappointed me."

"You've lost a lot of weight, you haven't been eating properly lately." Xiaofan, carrying Shen Zuimo in his arms, walked to the bed and gently laid her down, covering her with a blanket.

Shen Zuimo looked at Xiaofan in confusion, was it possible she misunderstood again?

"If only you could remember our past. Do you remember you said that once my ability reached the point where I could beat you, you would let me do whatever I wanted?"

"Nonsense..."

"Just pretend I'm talking nonsense, you go ahead and sleep. Even if I really want to do something, I'll wait until you remember me before I say anything. I might be indecent, but I'm not vile..."
