"Do you want to sleep with me?" Wen Yixin glanced over.

Qin Ruan was excited: "Of course!!!"

Her eyes sparkled, looking at Wen Yixin as if she were a rare treasure.

Wen Yixin immediately knew what Qin Ruan was thinking, and couldn't help but laugh softly, speaking slowly: "No."

"Why not?" Qin Ruan's excitement quickly turned to disappointment, and her joyful expression drooped.

Wen Yixin curved her lips and asked, "Then why do you want to sleep with me?"

"Because we're dating now." Qin Ruan lowered her head, biting her lip, looking somewhat aggrieved. "Many couples sleep together."

Wen Yixin propped her chin up with one hand, her smile undiminished: "Although you're not wrong, we just started dating today."

"Wouldn't sleeping together feel too fast? Other couples usually wait a long time before they sleep together."

"It wouldn't." Qin Ruan answered quickly and argued her point: "Maybe they waited because they didn't know each other well, so they needed time. Some couples even sleep together right after meeting, faster than us."

"Besides, I've been living with Sister for quite a while now."

Wen Yixin chuckled.

Such a serious little one.

Indeed, a child is still a child.

Seeing Wen Yixin smiling without responding, Qin Ruan couldn't help but tug on her hand: "Sister…"

"Can we?" Her eyelashes fluttered, and she gazed at Wen Yixin with hopeful almond eyes.

Wen Yixin met her gaze, and after a brief moment, she couldn't resist nodding: "Alright."

After all, it wasn't the first time they had shared a bed, though it wasn't for sleeping back then. But now… they were a couple.

"Great!" Qin Ruan's face lit up with joy as she grabbed Wen Yixin's hand: "I knew Sister was the best."

Wen Yixin nodded softly and pointed to the food in Qin Ruan's bowl: "Are you going to finish your food? It'll get cold if you don't."

"I'll eat it right away." Qin Ruan reluctantly released Wen Yixin's hand and turned to pick up her bowl.

…

After dinner, Qin Ruan took a bath first. As soon as she finished, she eagerly ran to Wen Yixin's room.

"Sister." She rushed to Wen Yixin, hugging the person standing in front of the wardrobe.

"I'm done with my bath."

Wen Yixin patted the hands wrapped around her waist, turned around, and said, "Then you can play in the room for a bit while I go take a bath."

"Got it." Qin Ruan let go of her hand, raised her head, and planted a quick kiss on Wen Yixin's lips, smiling shyly: "I'll wait for Sister."

"Mm, good girl." Wen Yixin smiled as she touched Qin Ruan's head, then picked up her pajamas and headed to the bathroom.

Qin Ruan sat on the bed, placed a pillow behind her back, and started playing on her phone, searching for date ideas.

After looking down for a while, her neck inevitably became sore. After saving several good guides, she looked up to stretch her neck.

During that time, her eyes landed on a bottle of skincare oil on the nearby dressing table, and her eyes lit up.

It was the oil that Sister would use after her bath, and Qin Ruan had even helped her apply it on her back before.

Looking at the bottle, Qin Ruan smiled, then quickly got out of bed and walked over to take the oil back with her.

She intended to place it on the bedside table so that when Sister returned, she could help her apply it.

As Qin Ruan thought about all sorts of things, her face grew hotter. When she lay back down, she couldn't help but pull the covers over her head.

However, in no time, the blanket was quickly pulled down from within.

Qin Ruan's face flushed as she stared at the blanket in her hands, then couldn't resist bringing it to her nose for a sniff.

The blanket's scent… was exactly like Sister's fragrance.

It was fragrant and pleasant.

Qin Ruan almost lost herself in the scent but snapped back to reality when she noticed Wen Yixin walking in from the door.

"Sister." She lowered the blanket and called softly.

Wen Yixin sat down next to her and didn't notice anything unusual about Qin Ruan.

"Did you wait long?"

"No." Qin Ruan shook her head.

Wen Yixin smiled, then looked at the very conspicuous bottle of oil placed in the middle of the bedside table and asked, "Why is this here?"

"I brought it over," Qin Ruan said.

"I remember Sister uses this after her bath."

Wen Yixin smiled: "Indeed, I do."

She sat on the edge of the bed near Qin Ruan, reached out, and easily grabbed the bottle of oil.

Wen Yixin squeezed some oil into her palm and slowly rubbed it onto her arms. As she applied it, she suddenly remembered something and asked Qin Ruan.

"Qin Ruan, have you been using the oil I gave you?"

"Yes." Qin Ruan nodded obediently. As she watched Wen Yixin finish applying the oil to her hands and start on her legs, her gaze flickered.

Today, Sister wasn't wearing a nightgown but rather a short-sleeved top with buttons and shorts that reached mid-thigh.

Although it looked good, it didn't seem as convenient as a gown.

Wen Yixin was focused on applying the oil to her legs, but halfway through, she noticed a gaze fixed on her legs, hot enough to burn.

She looked over: "Qin Ruan, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Qin Ruan bit her lip: "I'm just waiting to help Sister with her back."

"Ah," Wen Yixin smiled and then turned around, giving her back to Qin Ruan. "You can start now."

She reached up to undo a few buttons on her pajama top, her slender fingers rubbing her shoulders lightly. "Help me apply the oil."

"Alright." Qin Ruan's voice was a bit dry as she gazed at the exposed white shoulder and collarbone.

She squeezed some oil, lifted Wen Yixin's top, and slowly slid her hand inside.

The skin beneath her hand was as smooth as jade, every inch captivating to the touch.

Qin Ruan's fingers lingered, sometimes circling one spot. The already loose top, unbuttoned at the top and bottom, grew even more slack, exposing a large area of skin.

From Qin Ruan's angle, she could even see the rise and fall below the collarbone.

Qin Ruan's breathing quickened, and her hand unconsciously moved forward until it was stopped just before reaching its destination.

"Sister…" Qin Ruan looked up, puzzled, at Wen Yixin, as if she didn't understand why she was stopped again.

Wen Yixin met her clear, questioning gaze and couldn't help but laugh.

She found that Qin Ruan seemed to always head straight for the goal, with no buffer or hesitation.

Wen Yixin held Qin Ruan's hand, and with a slight pull, brought her to her side.

"Why are you always so impatient?"

Qin Ruan felt a bit embarrassed by Wen Yixin's words: "I'm not."

"Then what were you trying to do just now?" Wen Yixin asked with a smile.

"I…" Qin Ruan couldn't find the words.

After a moment, she bit her lip: "I just wanted to be close to Sister."

How was that being impatient?

Wen Yixin looked at her aggrieved expression and couldn't help but smile: "I misspoke."

Qin Ruan's eyelashes fluttered.

Wen Yixin held her hand, leaned in, and gently kissed her on the forehead.

Qin Ruan looked up, right into a pair of smiling eyes.

After a moment of staring, her eyes slowly curved: "Sister."

"Mm." Wen Yixin lightly squeezed the small hand in hers, her fingers brushing over Qin Ruan's fingertips.

Qin Ruan turned her hand to hold Wen Yixin's and called out again: "Sister."

Wen Yixin smiled and patiently opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything, something soft covered her lips.

She was stunned for a couple of seconds but quickly regained her composure.

Feeling the touch pressed tightly against her lips, and seeing Qin Ruan's trembling eyelashes, Wen Yixin couldn't help but find it amusing. With this behavior… how could she not call her impatient?

This little one… really wasn't easy to deal with.

Wen Yixin twisted the hand Qin Ruan had pinned, regaining control.

She wrapped her arm around Qin Ruan's waist, placing Qin Ruan's hand on her own waist.

Tilting her head slightly, Wen Yixin took Qin Ruan's lips, gently nibbling and sucking, quickly taking the lead and prying open Qin Ruan's lips.

Her fingers only lingered on Qin Ruan's waist for a moment before they began to climb upward.

Qin Ruan's body trembled, a soft moan escaping her lips, as she tentatively moved her hand upwards.

This time, there was no resistance.

The buttons on the pajamas were slowly undone without anyone noticing. Qin Ruan held her, finally kissing her way down to the swan-like neck, leaving behind small red marks.

Wen Yixin tilted her head back, unconsciously tightening the hand that was interlocked with Qin Ruan's, pulling her down onto the bed.

She cupped Qin Ruan's face and kissed her on the lips, her voice slightly shaky: "That's enough."

"Let's sleep."

Qin Ruan pursed her lips, her eyes misty, with a deep desire still lingering in their depths.

Wen Yixin knew exactly what Qin Ruan wanted to do, but... it was too fast.

"Just wait a little longer." She murmured, her lips brushing against Qin Ruan's earlobe in a soft kiss, coaxing her gently: "Alright?"

Their progress had already been quite rapid, and if things moved any faster, Wen Yixin couldn't shake the feeling of unease, like something was off.

Hearing Wen Yixin's words, Qin Ruan seemed to sense her emotions and couldn't help but respond: "Alright."

Wen Yixin smiled softly, planting a gentle kiss on her cheek: "Good girl."

She then rolled off Qin Ruan and lay down beside her, effortlessly pulling her into her embrace.

"I'll hold you while we sleep." Perhaps this would soothe Qin Ruan's unfulfilled desires.

Of course, Qin Ruan wouldn't refuse.

She loved sleeping while being held by Sister; as for the rest, there was plenty of time for that in the future.

Qin Ruan wrapped her arms around Wen Yixin's waist, lifted her head to give her a quick kiss, and smiled: "Sister, good night."

Wen Yixin smiled as well: "Good night."

The next morning.

When Qin Ruan woke up, she found herself still nestled in Wen Yixin's arms, and she couldn't help but smile.

She folded her hands under her chin, staring at Wen Yixin's face without blinking.

Who knows how much time passed before Wen Yixin slowly woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Qin Ruan resting her chin on her hands, her brows arched in a smile, watching her intently.

Wen Yixin chuckled and asked, "When did you wake up?"

Qin Ruan propped her chin, thinking seriously for a moment: "Not too long ago, less than half an hour."

Wen Yixin: ... So it's been almost half an hour.

"Why didn't you get up if you've been awake for so long?"

Qin Ruan smiled: "I wanted to wait for Sister to get up together today."

As she spoke, she leaned down and gave Wen Yixin a kiss: "Sister, good morning."

Now, the good night kiss and the good morning kiss were complete.

Wen Yixin touched her lips where she had been kissed and couldn't resist leaning forward to lightly peck Qin Ruan's lips in return: "Good morning..."

She originally wanted to call Qin Ruan by her name, but as the name was about to leave her lips, she looked at the person in front of her, with a bright smile and focused eyes, and couldn't help but say two words:

"Ruan Ruan."
