Progress Oh~

"Hahaha! So cute~"

Jiang Qiuyi, dressed as a deer, circled Chen Wen, who was dressed as a dinosaur, playfully swatting him with her tail like a child.

Chen Wen pulled at the head of his costume, lowering his head to try and hide his face.

The thought of himself wearing a silly cartoon onesie made him feel a little uncomfortable.

It was comfortable to wear... just a bit hot.

Tired from playing, Jiang Qiuyi stopped and plopped into Chen Wen's arms with a splat, nuzzling her face against his chest with a goofy expression.

"Hug me~" Jiang Qiuyi reached out to wrap her arms around Chen Wen's neck, tilting her head back and whispering with her eyes closed.

If it were anyone else, seeing the girl in his arms with such an endearing pose, they would probably have couldn't resist leaning down.

But Chen Wen simply obeyed, wrapping his arms around Jiang Qiuyi's soft waist. After a few seconds, he said, "It's a bit hot like this..."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiuyi's face instantly darkened. She opened her eyes and glared at him angrily, patting his cheeks with her small hands and kneading them forcefully before finally pushing him away.

"Idiot."

Chen Wen: "?"

"Let's go, let's go." Jiang Qiuyi picked up a pile of clothes from the sofa. "I'll put the new clothes in your closet."

Chen Wen picked up the remaining clothes and followed Jiang Qiuyi back to his room.

As they walked into the living room, they saw Lin Meng still playing games on the sofa. However, her posture had changed from sitting to lying down, and her "cow" appearance was becoming more pronounced.

"Hahaha! You actually wore it?" Lin Meng laughed heartily, slapping the sofa when she saw Chen Wen walking in with the dinosaur head.

"Hmph! Who do you think bought it?" Jiang Qiuyi said proudly, entering the bedroom first to help Chen Wen put away his clothes.

Opening the closet, Jiang Qiuyi skillfully separated the short-sleeved shirts, long-sleeved shirts, pants, and so on. Then, she took out spare hangers and put away his new clothes one by one.

Jiang Qiuyi was quiet while doing this, her gaze serious, as if a newlywed wife were organizing her husband's closet.

It was just that the deer outfit she was wearing was a bit out of place.

Chen Wen had gone out during this time. When he returned, Jiang Qiuyi had already finished organizing. He then took out the gift dagger from his pocket.

The dagger now had a red string threaded through its handle, something Chen Wen had made in the crafting room when he had free time.

"Here." Chen Wen handed the dagger over. "I threaded a string as you requested."

Jiang Qiuyi didn't reach out to take it. Instead, she took a few steps forward, came up to Chen Wen, stretched out her fair neck, revealing her delicate collarbones and a hint of depth within her neckline. She stood on tiptoe.

"Put it on for me~"

Chen Wen nodded, picked up the two ends of the red string on the dagger, looped it around Jiang Qiuyi's neck, gently tucked away her silky smooth hair, and tied a knot.

To maintain her balance, Jiang Qiuyi placed her small hands on Chen Wen's shoulders, her eyes fixed on his face, blinking not at all.

During this process, Chen Wen inevitably touched the delicate skin on Jiang Qiuyi's neck, causing a blush to quickly spread across her face.

The scene was quite alluring.

Unfortunately, Chen Wen's attention was entirely focused on tying the knot, and he didn't notice at all.

After helping Jiang Qiuyi put on the rather peculiar "necklace," Chen Wen was about to step back and create some distance when Jiang Qiuyi hugged him again.

"What is it now?" Chen Wen asked, confused.

"Nothing." Jiang Qiuyi buried her head against Chen Wen's chest, reluctant to let go. "I really like the gift."

"Mm." Chen Wen replied. After a moment of hesitation, he added, "Your gift... I like it quite a bit too."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiuyi immediately looked up, thinking she had misheard. "What did you just say?!"

"..." Chen Wen turned his head away, a little embarrassed. "I didn't say anything."

"Haha!" Jiang Qiuyi leaned her head back with a giggle, tightening her grip around Chen Wen's neck. "Progress! I'm so happy~"

"...Mm."

Chen Wen rested his chin on Jiang Qiuyi's head, wrapping his arms around her slender waist. Although the pajamas were a bit thick, he could still feel her curvy figure.

After a short while, Jiang Qiuyi pushed him away, her face flushed, and mumbled as she walked out, "Thinking naughty thoughts again."

Chen Wen tugged at his pajamas, feeling a bit awkward.

After leaving the bedroom, Chen Wen played some more games with the two girls.

During this time, Jiang Qiuyi ate another ice cream. It wasn't until past ten o'clock that she and Lin Meng went back to their room to sleep.

After they left, Chen Wen cleaned up the living room. As he was about to get into bed in his bedroom, he looked down at the dinosaur pajamas he was wearing.

After a moment of hesitation, Chen Wen ultimately decided not to change and lay down on the bed.

Sigh...

Sleeping alone.

Although Jiang Qiuyi had started sleeping in his room on Friday, and it had only been two nights so far.

But for some reason, the bed felt incredibly spacious and not crowded at all, which suddenly made Chen Wen feel a little unaccustomed to it.

He felt like something was missing.

Instead, when he was hugging Jiang Qiuyi earlier, he felt very secure.

Because of this, he found he couldn't sleep.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Jiang Qiuyi and Lin Meng squeezed onto one bed and chatted about pre-sleep gossip.

"Hey, have you two done it yet?" Lin Meng nudged Jiang Qiuyi with her elbow, her tone curious.

"Done what?"

"You know, that." Seeing Jiang Qiuyi play dumb, Lin Meng immediately reached out to where she was hinting.

"No, no, no!" Jiang Qiuyi yelped, blocking Lin Meng's mischievous hand and begging with a laugh, "What are you thinking? We've only been together for half a month, we haven't even kissed!"

"Haven't even kissed?" Lin Meng was surprised. "You seemed so forward, I thought you'd already won him over."

"?" Jiang Qiuyi protested, "He's very reserved, okay!"

Lin Meng rolled her eyes. "Do you even know how to spell 'reserved'?"

"I do, I do." Jiang Qiuyi reached out and tickled Lin Meng's stomach, her fingers dancing around. "Let me show you~"

"Stop! That tickles!" Lin Meng pulled her stomach in and grabbed Jiang Qiuyi's hand. "Come here, let big sis hug you. It's our first time sleeping together, you know."

"?" Lin Meng shoved Jiang Qiuyi, who was hugging her, away. "You're sharing a room with this young lady, and you're still thinking about other men?"

"Spare me, spare me!" Jiang Qiuyi leaned forward fawningly. "Mengmeng, I was wrong~"

After a bit more roughhousing, the two pulled up their covers and drifted off to sleep, slowly entering dreamland.

One in the morning.

Jiang Qiuyi quietly climbed out of bed and gently shook Lin Meng, who was sleeping beside her.

After confirming she was fast asleep, Jiang Qiuyi quietly got out of bed, picked up the key to Chen Wen's room, and snuck out.
