The next morning.
When dawn was still hazy, Dong Xuebin slowly woke from his dreams. He rubbed his eyes and stretched, then opened his mouth in a loud yawn. But before the yawn reached its peak, smack—a pale little hand covered his mouth, while another made a shushing gesture. Dong Xuebin grunted, then remembered that he was at the Qu Family home, and Mother Qu was sleeping on the sofa in the Outer Room. He quickly listened carefully. One second, two seconds... Only when there was no movement outside did he relax.
"Xuan Xuan, you were already awake?"
"Call me Aunt. No manners at all. Mm, I've been awake for a while."
"We've already done that, so why call you Aunt?"
"..."
Aunt Xuan was currently hugging him around the waist. Her loose hair draped over his shoulder, and she was even using his arm as a pillow, looking utterly delicate and dependent. Dong Xuebin sensed the subtle change in Aunt Xuan's feelings and chuckled. A surge of accomplishment rose from deep within him, filling him with satisfaction. He reached out and hugged her smooth bare body. "You kept holding me like this after you woke up? Uh, you won't admit it, but deep down, do you actually like me a lot?"
"Look at you, getting all smug." Qu Yunxuan immediately blushed and pushed him away. "Who wants to hold you?"
"Little Xuanxuan..."
"Call me Aunt."
Dong Xuebin coughed softly. "Aunt Xuan, have you thought it over now? You can be my girlfriend, right?"
Aunt Xuan looked at him, smiling as she pinched the tip of his nose. "...Auntie still needs to think carefully."
"Seriously? You still need to think after all this?" Dong Xuebin gloomily gave her butt a squeeze.
"I'll hit you. Don't touch me randomly."
"Fine, fine.
