When their lovely childhood friend returned, they were all in a panic!

Mu Anqi touched the spot on her head where she had just been hit, feeling wronged.

I'm a patient, how dare you bully me?

Waaaaaah!

"Why should I give it back?"

Bai Yu pursed her lips.

"Having just one younger sister is already a lot, but I'd like to have another one."

"I just want to stay by your side forever."

Mu Anqi sighed and silently slurped her noodles.

......

After finishing her bowl of noodles, Bai Yu tidied up the remaining dishes and chopsticks, preparing to clean up.

Mu Anqi stood up repeatedly to help him.

Just as he took the chopsticks, Bai Yu stopped him.

"Why isn't the patient resting properly?"

"Can't I help you?"

Mu Anqi pouted and forcefully snatched it from Bai Yu's hand.

Although she was still a little weak and lacked strength, Bai Yu didn't try to stop her.

"How can you recover quickly if you don't rest properly?"

"Then I'll be in trouble."

Mu Anqi said softly as she took the chopsticks and went into the kitchen to wash them.

"I'll stay sick like this every day, so you can stay with me every day."

"What kind of thinking is that?"

Bai Yu twitched her lips and walked over to Mu Anqi to wash the dishes.

"It's the thought of wanting to be with you."

"Aren't you feeling unwell?"

"This is so much better than you ignoring me."

Mu Anqi pouted, speaking softly.

But he used much more force in his hands.

Even washing chopsticks causes water to splash everywhere.

Bai Yu remained silent in response to her words.

Honestly, these relationships between opposite sexes are too difficult to manage.

Both Luo Qingyan and Mu Anqi have made it clear that they like me.

but......

He narrowed his eyes, his mind drifting back to the past.

The faces of Luo Qingyan and Mu Anqi appeared alternately, accompanied by those beautiful memories.

Mu Anqi's reactions these past few days have also revealed that she is injured.

If I really understood what liking something truly meant...

If one of them has to be chosen, then hurting the other is an inevitable outcome.

But......

I don't want anyone to get hurt.

This is what Bai Yu is most conflicted about right now.

He has been avoiding this question.

I cannot betray their sincerity.

They had no choice but to continue moving forward in this pumpkin carriage form.

But after midnight, the pumpkin carriage in the fairy tale will disappear.

After washing most of the dishes, Mu Anqi walked out of the kitchen and intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to Bai Yu.

She also deliberately held onto his hand, not wanting him to leave.

"I know you had a hard time while I was away."

"I can give you a lot of money, there's no need for you to keep making money for that contractual relationship."

Mu Anqi spoke in a low voice, her tone somewhat dejected.

At first, when I heard they were in a contract relationship, I didn't think much of it.

Later on, the more I watched, the more it seemed like they were actually acting.

Especially Luo Qingyan, she didn't even bother acting, she just blurted it out to herself.

I just don't know what Bai Yu is thinking.

"Forget it, I have my own ways of earning a living now."

Bai Yu shook her head and refused Mu Anqi.

"And I don't want to make money off my friends."

"What about Luo Qingyan? Can Luo Qingyan be considered your friend?"

Mu Anqi pressed for an answer.

"I guess so."

Bai Yu hesitated for a moment before answering.

To be honest, I was really happy when I was with Luo Qingyan.

Her family atmosphere is also very nice and doesn't put any pressure on people.

Her personality is great, there's really nothing to criticize.

"Then why were you willing to take her money but not mine?"

Mu Anqi persisted in asking.

This actually stumped Bai Yu.

From the very beginning, they treated being in a contractual relationship purely as their job.

As the story unfolded, feelings naturally developed.

Therefore, one cannot take the money from a so-called contractual relationship with a clear conscience.

Sigh, I guess I'll just have to work on that novel myself and make some money.

A person who relies solely on the charity of others will become useless.

"Let's talk about it later, it's about time..."

Bai Yu glanced down at the time again, clearly indicating that she was about to leave.

I had only taken two steps forward when I felt a pulling sensation from that hand.

From the moment she stepped out of the kitchen, Mu Anqi kept holding on.

She lowered her eyes, and that pitiful look reappeared.

"Could you stay with me a little longer...?"

"Can you spend some time with me? Even just chatting is fine..."

Upon seeing this, Bai Yu hesitated for a moment.

People are always prone to being soft-hearted.

Especially seeing his pitiful appearance.

"All right."

......

The two sat together on the sofa, leaning against each other.

They mostly talked about things from the past.

That makes sense, after all, they were childhood sweethearts who had been separated for so long before finally reuniting.

All that's left is to reminisce about the past.

Mu Anqi was most deeply involved during that period.

Her laughter was the most joyful, showing no sign of being a feverish patient.

"Hahaha, I was really happy back then."

"yes."

Bai Yu nodded in agreement and checked the time again.

It's already 11 p.m., really late.

Even I felt a little sleepy.

"Aha..."

Bai Yu yawned and spoke lazily.

"I really have to go back now, I'm so sleepy..."

"Sleep here with me."

Mu Anqi said softly.

"What?"

Bai Yu's yawning mouth suddenly froze.

"Sleep here with me."

"Are you kidding me?"

"I have so many rooms here, you can find any one to sleep in."

Mu Anqi blinked and said seriously.

"As you know, I'm afraid of the dark, so I've never dared to turn off the living room light."

"If you were here, I wouldn't be so scared."

After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment.

Her delicate, doll-like face flushed crimson.

"It would be even better if you could sleep with me."

"Sleep together?!"

Bai Yu suddenly stood up from the sofa.

"Oh dear, we've known each other for so long, we're childhood sweethearts, and we're not..."

Mu Anqi wanted to use the flashback move, but she hesitated for a moment.

"It seems we've never actually slept together."

"Are you kidding me? Inviting a guy to stay overnight at your place, aren't you afraid he might have ulterior motives?"

Bai Yu pursed her lips and said.

"If it's you... please don't have any improper thoughts about me."

Mu Anqi chuckled, that carefree feeling returning to him, giving him a long-lost feeling.

"well......"

Bai Yu shook his head.

"I don't have time to argue with you anymore. I'm going home. You should take good care of yourself and rest."

"No, please stay with me a little longer~"

Mu Anqi hurriedly stood up and followed Bai Yu.

She also hugged Bai Yu's arm with both hands and acted coquettishly.

"no."

Please!

"I really have to go home."

"I feel so bad right now... I feel even worse now that you're gone."

"..."

Bai Yu had just placed her hand on the doorknob, ready to turn it.

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock!"
