Little Sizi came to my house and became the family's darling, and Li Shimin got anxious.

"Come on, Chengyang, don't be shy, eat more."

Although Princess Chengyang was about five years old, in Li Yinxun's eyes, five years old was still a baby.

After more than ten minutes of feeding in turns, the two little ones finally stuffed their bellies full.

The little princess slumped onto the sofa, nestled softly inside, and rhythmically patted her bulging belly with her little hands.

"Oh, right, Second Sister! Is that right?"

"Mmm, as expected of a fairy sister, it's so delicious."

Princess Chengyang followed the little princess's example, leaning back into the sofa and nodding earnestly.

Li Yinxun felt secretly pleased when she heard this.

"Sister, I still want to watch Boonie Bears!" The little princess was still thinking about the Boonie Bears series she hadn't finished watching yet.

Li Yinxun glanced at the time. "Okay, I'll show it to you. But you can only watch one episode. You're still kids, so you need to make sure you get enough sleep and take a nap."

"Okay~" the little princess replied perfunctorily.

"Yes, yes, I'll put Sizi to sleep, don't worry, sister." Chengyang nodded and volunteered.

"Hmph~ I'm all grown up now, I don't need to be coaxed, I'll break myself!"

The two little princesses started bickering back and forth, and Li Yinxun watched from the side, unable to suppress her laughter.

After settling the two little girls in, Li Yinxun went into the kitchen to wash the dishes and tidy up.

When she dried her hands and came out, an episode of "Boonie Bears" had just finished airing.

"My two little princesses, time for bed!"

The little princess's lips immediately twitched, and she looked unwilling; she wasn't sleepy at all.

Princess Chengyang quietly tugged at the little princess's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Sizi, we must listen to our older sister, so that she will let us see Xiong Da and Xiong Er next time."

Li Yinxun almost burst out laughing. This girl was even better at manipulating people than she was.

"Yes, Chengyang is right. If you want to see Xiong Da and Xiong Er, you have to take a good nap. When you wake up, your sister will take you out to play."

Hearing that she could go out to play, the little princess hesitated for two seconds, but finally pouted and gave in: "Okay..."

The house has a one-bedroom, one-living room layout, with no extra rooms, so the two little princesses have to squeeze onto one bed.

As soon as Princess Chengyang climbed onto the bed, she was amazed by the soft texture. "Wow, so soft and comfortable..."

For Chengyang, everything here is a novelty.

Although it was early summer, the afternoon was still a bit muggy.

Considering that the two little princesses were from ancient times, and that sleeping with the air conditioner on would affect their health, Li Yinxun did not turn on the air conditioner, but instead turned on the floor fan in the corner.

The fan was probably left behind by the previous tenant; it was still in pretty good condition. I set it to the softest setting, and a gentle breeze came over, neither too hot nor too cold—just right.

The two little princesses lay down side by side, and the little girl stared curiously at the slowly rotating fan blades, blinking her eyes.

"Second sister, is that spinning thing a demon?"

Li Yinxun was both amused and exasperated, and had to admire the little girl's imagination.

"That's called a fan. Doesn't it feel cool when it blows on you?"

The air conditioner in the living room has been on all the time, set at 24 degrees Celsius, which is just right – neither too hot nor too cold.

The little princess was seeing this thing for the first time, and her big, bright eyes were full of surprise. She pointed at the rotating blades with her little finger, and her mouth opened and closed.

"Sister, there's a boom! There's a boom!"

"Yes, there's a breeze, Sizi, it's very refreshing."

The two sisters whispered amongst themselves, the little princess saying the fan was a wind demon, and Chengyang saying the fan looked like a big, spinning flower.

Li Yinxun smiled and rubbed their two little heads, then tucked the blankets around them.

"Go to sleep, this will keep you cool."

"Mmm~ Thank you, sister."

Seeing the two little ones obediently close their eyes, Li Yinxun quietly closed the door, returned to the living room, and lay down on the sofa.

She needs to take a nap too.

Last night, thinking about the fifty taels of gold at home, I tossed and turned and didn't dare to sleep too soundly. Only now is sleepiness finally creeping in.

I took out my phone and saw a message from Guo Qian.

Why are you suddenly transferring money to me? You can spend the money yourself; you don't need to give it to me.

I'm a man, it's my duty to spend money on my girlfriend. If you give me money, what am I then?

Li Yinxun looked at the screen and sighed softly.

Guo Qian is a bit chauvinistic, but it's not a big problem; it's still within her acceptable range.

I write novels part-time, and suddenly one of them became a hit. I wanted to share my joy with you after receiving the royalties.

When Li Yinxun was in college, she did write a few novels, but her writing skills were limited, and even the most popular one only brought in five thousand yuan a month.

Fortunately, the advantage of this revenue-sharing model is that it provides a steady stream of income. Even though she hasn't written anything for six months, she still receives more than 800 yuan in royalties every month.

Guo Qian knew about her writing novels, so this reason was flawless, and he didn't suspect a thing.

Okay, I'll accept it this time. But don't transfer any more to me in the future.

If you have extra money, buy yourself some better skincare and makeup products.

Guo Qian has always been very clear about money matters.

He can spend money on Li Yinxun, but he will never let Li Yinxun spend money on him.

The reason is simple: he is several years older than Li Yinxun, so it is only right that he takes care of her.

I'm usually busy with work and can't spend much time with him, so I can only make up for it with money.

I know, have you eaten? This month must be really busy, right?

After sending the message, Li Yinxun stared at the screen for a long time.

Actually, she didn't like this way of getting along; this kind of relationship made her feel like a mistress being kept in another city.

She didn't want to think about it anymore.

But reality is reality.

Her family was poor, and her younger brother needed to go to university, so Guo Qian even paid her tuition.

If you owe someone, you can't stand up straight.

So even if she felt uncomfortable, she never confessed these thoughts to Guo Qian.

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, but drowsiness grew stronger and their eyelids began to droop.

The phone slipped from my fingers, fell to the ground, and the screen lit up briefly before going dark again.

Li Yinxun was completely unaware; she had already fallen asleep.

……

"Lazybones~ I'm a lazybones, wake up!"

Two little heads peeked out from the edge of the sofa, one on the left and one on the right, sneaking closer.

The little princess pinched a strand of her hair and poked it into Li Yinxun's nostril, while Princess Chengyang followed suit, pinching a strand of hair and tucking it into her ear.

While asleep, Li Yinxun felt a piercing tingling sensation rush from her nasal cavity to the top of her head, and her body involuntarily trembled twice.

"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!"

I sneezed several times in a row, and felt like I was bounced up by a spring, instantly waking me up.

"Hehehe! Big sister is such a lazybones! Everyone else should be up by now, but big sister is still sleeping in!" The little princess said smugly.

"Fine, little rascal, you're a bad guy, I'm going to punish you!"

Li Yinxun pretended to be angry, picked up the little princess, turned her over, and gave her a couple of fake pats on her bottom.
