Mu Yi'er's face was flushed red.
She timidly lowered her head, not daring to et Bai Wu's gaze.
"Yi'er, let tell you a joke!" Bai Wu's eyes twinkled as he suddenly spoke.
"Huh? Oh, okay... go ahead..."
Mu Yi'er nodded cautiously, then looked up to emphasize, "If it's another one of those cold jokes, then don't bother. They're too la..."
After saying this, Mu Yi'er exaggeratedly shivered.
Bai Wu: "..."
"The ant joke and the ones after, were they really that bad?"
Just as the thought crossed his mind, a large percentage number appeared before Bai Wu's eyes: 100%.
"Ahem!"
Bai Wu coughed twice and smiled, "Don't worry, this ti I promise it won't be a cold joke!"
"Then go ahead..." Mu Yi'er glanced at Bai Wu skeptically.
"Listen carefully!"

Bai Wu straightened his back and began, "Once upon a ti, there was a man of unyielding spirit nad Wang Jingze..."
"Wait, hold on, Wang Jingze, that na sounds familiar..." Mu Yi'er said, puzzled.
"Let finish first!"
Bai Wu gave her a peculiar smile and continued, "When he was participating in a show, he made a bold declaration: 'I, Wang Jingze, would rather starve to death, die outside, or jump off from here than eat a single bite of your food!' But ten minutes later, this man of unyielding spirit, Wang Jingze, was devouring a bowl of fried rice with great relish, even exclaiming: 'So delicious!'"
After finishing, Bai Wu laughed extravagantly and exaggeratedly.
Mu Yi'er was stunned, her face full of confusion.
"Yi'er, why aren't you laughing? Isn't it funny?" Bai Wu asked in a strange tone.
"What's so funny about that?" Mu Yi'er rolled her eyes at Bai Wu, "Where's the punchline?"
"Not hungry ans not hungry! Not eating ans not eating! I won't drink a single sip of this soup!" Bai Wu said with a weird smile, repeating a firm statent Mu Yi'er had made earlier.
Mu Yi'er: "..."
The next mont.
Her face, which had just returned to normal, turned crimson again.
The room suddenly fell silent.
After a while.
"Ahhh!!!!!"
Mu Yi'er suddenly exclaid, quickly changing the subject, "It's almost midnight, and I have to get up early for work tomorrow. We should go to sleep!"
Then, she darted under the covers.
Bai Wu smiled slightly.
"By the way!"
Mu Yi'er's head popped out from under the covers, pointing to the large stuffed toy in the middle of the bed as a divider, emphasizing, "No crossing this line tonight!"
"Don't worry..."
Bai Wu raised his hand, "Yi'er, until you're ready to fully accept it, I won't overstep any boundaries!"
"Th-thank you..."
Mu Yi'er thanked him and burrowed back under the covers.
Too much is as bad as too little!
Pushing too hard could backfire!
Bai Wu couldn't afford to rush things and risk making Mu Yi'er resent or even dislike him.
After tidying up the porcelain pot and dishes, Bai Wu left the bedroom, intending to put them in the kitchen sink.
However.
As soon as he stepped out.
He was t with the piercing gazes of Yang Liyin and Mu Jianguo, the elderly couple.
"Xiao Wu, what's up? Why aren't you asleep at this hour?" Yang Liyin asked.
"I just finished showering and was about to sleep, but I thought I'd tidy up these dishes first..."
Before Bai Wu could finish, Yang Liyin hurriedly approached.
She took the porcelain pot and dishes from Bai Wu's hands.
Then, with a smile, she said, "Ah, leave these to . You young ones should get to bed early!"
"But..."
Bai Wu was about to say a few polite words, but Yang Liyin and Mu Jianguo pushed him back.
"Xiao Wu, go to bed early!" Yang Liyin smiled broadly.
"Is Mu Yi'er really their biological daughter?" Bai Wu couldn't help but wonder.
100%!
"Xiao Wu..."
Mu Jianguo winked at Bai Wu and whispered, "Don't tire yourself out tonight, my Yi'er has never been with a boy before..."
"Ahem..." Bai Wu couldn't help but cough.
Bai Wu: "..."
"Alright, alright, go to bed early, we old folks need our rest too!"
...
Bai Wu groggily returned to Mu Yi'er's bedroom.
He closed the door and casually locked it.
"Why did you lock the door!!" Mu Yi'er suddenly erged from under the covers.
"Uncle and Auntie..." Bai Wu shrugged, "If I don't lock it, I'm afraid tomorrow morning..."
Mu Yi'er: "..."
She burrowed back under the covers once more.
The room fell silent again.
Bai Wu slowly walked to the bed and lay down.
"Thump thump thump!!!"
In the quiet room, the sound of Mu Yi'er's rapidly beating heart echoed.
Undoubtedly, she was very nervous at this mont!
Her two small hands, exposed outside, tightly gripped the quilt.
"Yi'er, I'm turning off the light now, goodnight!"
Bai Wu said gently.
Mu Yi'er didn't respond.
Bai Wu smiled slightly, about to turn off the light.
Suddenly.
Mu Yi'er's head popped out from under the covers.
"Wa-wait a minute!"
"Hmm, what's up, Yi'er?"
"Are we now?"
"Yes!"
Bai Wu paused for a mont, then smiled gently at Mu Yi'er.
Five seconds.
Ten seconds.
Fifteen seconds.
Gradually, she began to relax.
Thirty seconds later.
"Goodnight!"
"Mm, hu~hu~ goodnight!".
