The sky was only faintly brightening when Chen Yao had already gotten up from the bed filled with milky fragrance.

God knows how he managed to fall asleep last night.

With a long sigh, he threw some tissues into the toilet and flushed them down the drain.

Chen Yao suspected that Lin Nan had deliberately spilled milk, making the whole room smell of milk. Usually when spending time with her, he felt the scent was quite light, but sleeping in Lin Nan's bed, that lingering fragrance tormented him, tossing and turning until late at night before he could barely fall asleep.

Glancing at the sanitary pads placed on the toilet, he muttered to himself in confusion: "When did Lin Nan start needing these things too?"

It was still early, but he no longer felt like continuing to sleep. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he took out his phone, and then his mind habitually began worrying about the things Lin Nan would have to face next.

Whether it was the habit of taking care of Lin Nan that started in middle school, or simply being greedy for Lin Nan's body, Chen Yao found that recently he had been putting too much of his attention on Lin Nan, causing him to not play basketball or exercise for a long time, making his whole body feel restless.

Really unable to sit still, Chen Yao pushed open the bedroom door again, his gaze immediately drawn to Lin Nan on the sofa.

That sofa was a bit cramped even for two people to sit on. He had slept on the sofa before, with most of his legs hanging outside, unable to turn over or move, and would fall off if he wasn't careful.

Lin Nan's petite frame was curled up on her side on the sofa, just barely fitting within its confines.

Although she was dressed quite modestly, Chen Yao's gaze still lingered on her delicate face.

Her skin was smooth and snow-white. The morning sunlight fell on her face, her skin translucent like jelly with a slight rosy glow. No fine hair was visible on her face, delicate and flawless, as if she had applied a layer of high-end beauty filter.

Her slightly puffed cheeks added some childish innocence to Lin Nan. Her oval face was very petite. Chen Yao even suspected it wasn't as big as his hand.

She had never worn makeup, yet her eyebrows lay neatly in place, her eyelashes long and curved outward. At first glance she was a pure girl-next-door type, but somehow she also carried an alluring charm that seemed to emanate from her very bones.

Not beautiful enough to topple kingdoms, but with the morning light spilling over her, she was unexpectedly beautiful and sacred. The still Lin Nan was like someone from a painting.

Chen Yao stared in a daze. After a moment, he snapped back to his senses and stepped forward to cover Lin Nan with the thin blanket that had fallen to the floor.

But her eyelashes suddenly trembled, then she opened those bright, confused big eyes.

Looking at those slightly upturned eyebrows, Chen Yao suddenly understood where Lin Nan's allure came from.

"What time is it?" Lin Nan turned over and with a slap, fell face-down directly onto the floor. But she didn't mind, turning over to sit on the ground and continuing to ask, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

Her just-awakened voice carried a hoarse, low quality, yet sounded particularly seductive.

Chen Yao reached out to pull Lin Nan up from the floor, answering: "Seven o'clock. If you’re not sleepy, join me buy breakfast. If you're tired, sleep a bit more."

"Then I'll keep sleeping."

Lin Nan listlessly sat back down on the sofa, lying on her side, curling up like a cat.

"Go sleep in the room."

Chen Yao smiled and stepped forward, grabbing Lin Nan's soft, boneless hand to try pulling her up, but Lin Nan was like a puddle of mud. After pulling for ages, he almost dragged her to the floor.

"So sleeping in the room isn't comfortable?"

"Can't get up..." Lin Nan made whimpering sounds, her voice soft and sweet as if acting spoiled: "I’ll stay, too lazy to move..."

Saying this, she struggled to turn over on the narrow sofa to find a comfortable position to continue sleeping. Chen Yao watched helplessly from the side, only able to pull over a stool to sit down, propping his face with one hand while playing on his phone, occasionally looking up to check on Lin Nan's condition, afraid this girl would roll off the floor again with another turn.

Counting it up, it had been seven or eight years since he met Lin Nan in seventh grade, right?

He had almost watched Lin Nan grow from that short kid who was always bullied into a... beautiful woman.

Lin Nan's changes were really too fast, giving a strong sense of unreality. But taking out photos on his phone of them traveling together and comparing facial details, he found she didn't seem to have changed much.

At least in terms of appearance, the changes weren't big enough to make her unrecognizable. It's just that the old Lin Nan's face always had various flaws, while now she was as fair and tender as a child.

Her face shape had become more gentle, her features seemed more delicate, but other than that the changes weren't very obvious.

It was just those eyes. When outside, they always carried wariness, seeming to regard everything with suspicion, making people uncomfortable to look at.

Fortunately, when alone with Chen Yao, the wariness in Lin Nan's eyes would melt away.

He let out a long sigh, but suddenly heard Lin Nan ask: "What are you sighing about?"

The sofa was really too uncomfortable to sleep on. Lin Nan had been lying there for a long time without falling asleep, and now regretted not listening to Chen Yao earlier.

"Nothing, go sleep in the room. I'll just sit on the sofa and play games."

Lin Nan turned over and got up, lazily yawning and stretching, arching her waist into a curve. Her eyes still carried drowsiness as she was too lazy to bother with Chen Yao's inexplicable sighing, walking straight toward the bedroom.

Without closing the door, as soon as she entered the room, her body fell sideways onto the bed. She pulled over the nearby blanket to cover herself, still calling out: "Chen Yao, remember to put out some cat food."

"Got it, go sleep."

Maybe he was being too good to Lin Nan, but Chen Yao found this girl was now confidently ordering him around.

Though he thought this in his heart, his mouth and body were quite honest: "I'll go buy you breakfast later, be awake around ten, okay?"

"I suspect after living with me for a month, you could spoil me into a young master." Lin Nan grumbled and turned over. "Whatever you want."

What young master? You would be a little princess.

But since Lin Nan still refused to wear women's clothing, if she wore a princess dress, hmm...

I still prefer sailor uniforms, nurse outfits, that sort of thing.

Chen Yao imagined that scene, and couldn't help but recall some uniform photoshoots he'd seen online, replacing the faces in those photos with Lin Nan's.

He quickly shook the images from his mind and got up to add cat food.

"Cola, time for breakfast." After filling a bowl with food and looking up, he saw the cat perched on the coffee table, looking at him with disdain, as if looking at a simp.

When did Cola's expressions become so human-like?

"Meow!" It suddenly jumped down from the coffee table, bouncing in front of Chen Yao and declaring righteously: "Man, I think highly of you! Wait for me to change bodies and come lick me! That Lin Nan woman isn't worth it! I, Lilith, am the best!"

Chen Yao watched it chattering away without knowing what it was saying, but suddenly remembered Lin Nan's actions toward it last night. Having a sudden realization, he grabbed Cola and shoved its head into the cat food.

Could this be how to make it eat?

The little dynamics between Lin Nan and Cola were really incomprehensible.
