I'll give my daughter one more second.

"I knew it." Wu Shen sighed softly.

"You weren't fooled this time." Not seeing the amusing expression she expected, Shiyu seemed a little disappointed.

"Be careful not to play too much, or it'll turn into the story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'," Wu Shen said casually, and began to straighten his clothes.

Because his entire body was submerged in water, Wu Shen's clothes were completely soaked. He was sticky all over, with lots of residual foam, and felt awful.

Of course, this wasn't the worst thing. Wu Shen subconsciously reached into his pocket, as if he touched something, and then suddenly realized something, his expression changed instantly.

"Ah... my wallet and phone..." Wu Shen took the things out of his pocket and immediately felt a pang of pain.

His wallet was alright, since it was nearing the end of the month and he didn't have much cash left, plus he hadn't withdrawn any money from the bank yet. But his phone wasn't waterproof, so it was completely ruined.

Seeing this, Shi Yu's expression turned slightly apologetic. In any case, the reason things had developed to this point was largely due to her inviting Wu Shen.

"It's alright, don't worry about it. If I had invited you to my house, none of this would have happened. It's just a phone, I can just get a new one. Wu Yi needs a new phone too, so we can buy them together." Wu Shen noticed Shi Yu's self-blame and waved his hand dismissively.

"Anyway, let me go with you on the day you buy the phone. Consider it compensation." Seeing that Wu Shen was determined not to accept compensation, Shi Yu had to change her approach. "Didn't the movie theater say before that they would charge hundreds of millions per hour for me to accompany them? This way, you'll actually be making a profit."

"You actually still remember this setting," Wu Shen retorted.

Since Shiyu had taken the initiative to accompany him, Wu Shen certainly wouldn't pass up the opportunity to increase their intimacy. So he readily agreed to Shiyu's request and arranged to go shopping for a cell phone with Wuyi on the weekend.

Because wearing wet clothes could easily lead to a cold, Wu Shen had no choice but to take them all off and use a spare towel from the bathroom to temporarily cover himself. After making these preparations, the two of them secretly slipped back to their room.

As for Wu Shen's wet clothes, most of the moisture was squeezed out when he took them off in the bathroom, and Shi Yu hung them up on a hanger. Then, she used the opportunity of drying her hair with a hairdryer to cover up the situation and also dried Wu Shen's clothes.

Although it's impossible to completely dry the clothes in such a short time, it can speed up the drying process. Hanging the clothes on Shiyu's small balcony overnight should make them completely dry by morning.

"What a pity, I was hoping to see you dressed as a woman, Wu Shen." After changing into a new set of casual clothes from the closet, Shi Yu looked at Wu Shen with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"Let's not even talk about whether I would agree. Even if I were forced to wear women's clothes, your size wouldn't be big enough."

"That's true. It seems we'll need to keep some cosplay costumes in a similar size to yours, Wu Shenjun." Shi Yu nodded, seemingly having learned her lesson.

"Hey! Could it be that the various cosplay costumes that Wu Yi mentioned keeping at home in the future are for dealing with this situation?" Wu Shen suddenly had a bad feeling.

As time went by, it was now well into the night. To avoid attracting her parents' attention, Shiyu turned off the main light in her room and only turned on a dim bedside lamp.

Shi Yu yawned, sat down on the edge of the bed, patted the pillow, and asked Wu Shen, "Wu Shen-jun, are you going to sleep?"

"How am I supposed to sleep in this situation?" Wu Shen replied helplessly, slumped over his desk.

Sleeping in a bed was out of the question, so he could only make a bed on the floor. But with the possibility of being exposed outside at any moment, coupled with the double tension of being alone in a room with a man, it would be a miracle if Wu Shen could sleep.

"Screw sleeping, get up and party!" This is probably the most accurate description of Wu Shen's inner thoughts at this moment.

Chapter 89 The Little Dancer's Big Discovery

"Is it because you can't sleep on the floor?" Shiyu asked thoughtfully. "But that makes sense. It's not very hospitable to invite someone over and then make them sleep on the floor. If Wu Shenjun wants, I can make an exception and let you sleep in my bed, okay?"

"No. You must have come up with some new trick again."

Given their current level of affection, sharing a bed was definitely out of the question. Wu Shen figured Shi Yu was going to tease him again, just like before, so he refused in advance.

"What a pity, I was truly sincere this time." Shi Yu shook her head, feigning regret.

"Then I'll come up." Wu Shen didn't play any tricks and went straight to the bedside. He was already quite experienced in dealing with Shi Yu's manipulations.

Strangely, even after Wu Shen had sat down on the bedside, Shi Yu didn't stop him. Just as he was wondering what was going on, Shi Yu stood up and got out of bed.

"What do you mean by this?" Wu Shen scratched his head, completely baffled by Shi Yu's actions.

"You sleep on the bed, so of course I'll sleep on the floor. Does Wu Shenjun expect to share a bed with me?" Shi Yu looked at Wu Shen with a smile, seemingly quite looking forward to his reaction.

"I don't have such expectations. But no matter what, I can't just watch a girl sleep on the floor and then sleep in the bed myself without feeling guilty, can I?" Wu Shen sighed and stood up from the bedside.

Wu Shen couldn't possibly be so heartless as to sleep in the bed while Shi Yu sleeps on the floor.

"Forget it, I'm not going to sleep." Wu Shen shook his head to clear his mind.

At worst, I can cultivate immortality. If I can stay up until five o'clock, I'll consider myself to have achieved the Great Nascent Soul stage!

“Then I can’t sleep either. Otherwise, if Wu Shenjun can’t control his lust and does something while I’m asleep, it will be terrible.” Shi Yu brushed her stray hair behind her shoulder, revealing a regretful expression.

“I’m not that kind of person! Believe me!” Wu Shenyi retorted righteously.

How could he, a model youth of the new era, possibly do such a despicable thing?!

"Just in case. Besides, it would be very embarrassing for Wu Shenjun to see my sleeping face."

"So we're going to have to stay up all night until dawn?" Wu Shen struggled to stay awake.

Since both of them intend to cultivate immortality, wouldn't it be wonderful to cultivate together? Of course, Wu Shen was just joking in his mind. Shi Yu wouldn't understand even if he said it aloud, and if she did, the problem would be even bigger.

"This is the only option." Shi Yu yawned. Wu Shen could tell that Shi Yu was actually more tired, and after working so hard to finish the first volume of the novel, she needed to rest properly. Staying up all night would only harm her health.

"You finally finished writing your novel and got a few days of rest. Isn't it bad to stay up all night?" Wu Shen couldn't help but yawn after he finished speaking, perhaps because Shi Yu's yawn was contagious.

Sleepiness suddenly overwhelmed Wu Shen and Shi Yu.

"I'm so sleepy... What if your parents come into the room if we can't stay awake and fall asleep?" Wu Shen sat on the edge of the bed, his head drooping down and then immediately lifting up again like a chick pecking at rice, repeating this many times.

"It's okay... I've already locked the door from the inside. I even secretly went outside and got a spare key."

"That's good. There's one more thing... Shiyu?" Wu Shen noticed that Shiyu had stopped moving. He looked up at her and found that she had already fallen asleep on the bed, breathing evenly.

"So you've been too tired these past few days? You said you didn't want me to see your sleeping face, but I still managed to get my way." Wu Shen pulled the blanket up for Shi Yu, then sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the sleeping Shi Yu.

With no one to talk to and his phone damaged by water, Wu Shen couldn't find any other way to pass the time except by observing Shi Yu.

Time ticked by, and as is often the case with idleness, drowsiness easily creeps in. It was already late at night, and with nothing to do, Wu Shen gradually succumbed to sleep. His consciousness slowly faded into darkness, and he simply sat up on the edge of the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

On the other hand, because Yukino was worried that something might happen to Mai if she was home alone, she invited Mai to spend the night at her house.

Because she was sleeping in the same small bed as Yuyin, and because Wuyi mistakenly believed that her father would achieve great things and complete the strategy tonight, allowing her to return to the happy family life, she was in a state of excitement. Although she slept lightly for a short while, she was easily woken up by the slightest noise.

"Mother, please don't try again."

"What a joke. This has happened two nights in a row, and Wu Shen has coincidentally stayed out all night. I don't believe there are such coincidences in the world. There must be something wrong with what Wu Shen is doing right now!"

Yukino rarely showed signs of anxiety, picking up her phone and dialing numbers repeatedly, but all she got in response was a busy signal.

"He won't answer the phone or reply to texts. This guy is neglecting his sister in the middle of the night. Where has he been gallivanting off to?"

Seeing Yuyin's figure appearing and disappearing, Yukino, who was usually calm and composed and as cold as an iceberg, became impatient for the first time.

"Huh? What's that sound?" Yukino's unrestrained volume woke Mai from her light sleep.

"An unfamiliar ceiling... Oh right, Daddy and Mommy have consummated their relationship, and I'm staying at Yukino-neechan's house now." Rubbing her sleepy eyes with her little hands, Mai got up and threw off the covers.

"Strange, where did Yuyin go?" Mai looked at the empty space beside her, tilting her head in confusion. She remembered sleeping in the same bed with Yuyin, but now that she woke up, Yuyin wasn't there.

Just as Mai had woken up, she felt a little thirsty, so she decided to go and get some water while searching for the missing Yuyin.

Strolling leisurely down the corridor, Mai noticed that the door to Yukino's room was ajar, with a sliver of light shining through the crack into the dimly lit corridor.

"Is Yukino-neechan still awake at this hour?"

Mai curiously poked her little head in and peered through the crack in the door.

"It seems it's just for a while, like yesterday, it's not very serious." Yuzune sat in Yukino's lap in the room and smiled, seemingly to comfort Yukino.

“No, I’m the one who made the mistake. Because I’ve been hesitant and afraid to face this, this happened. This is my punishment.” Yukino shook her head, as if she had made up her mind. “Amine, if you have any plans for Wu Shen in the future, just tell me directly. I will try my best.”

"Finally figured it out?" Her gloomy mood vanished, and Yuon excitedly jumped out of Yukino's arms and turned to look at her.

"Back then, there must have been a reason why I chose Wu Shen. Now, I don't want to run away anymore and want to try to find the answer to that reason. And after getting to know him these past few days, I'm surprisingly not that averse to him..." Yukino said, gently stroking Ayane's hair.

Why are Yukino and Amane talking about their father in the middle of the night? Could it be that they both have a crush on him?! Mai instantly had the wrong idea, quickly covered her mouth, her eyes wide, and hurriedly and quietly retreated to her room, not even having time to drink water, afraid of being discovered by Yukino and the others.

"Dad, I think I've discovered something incredible!" Lying in bed, Wu Yi felt a surge of shock and disbelief.

(*￣ω￣) I was born with a talent that I will surely put to use; even if I tear up a thousand votes, they will come back again!

Chapter 90 Your friend Tsukine is online.

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone into the room through the gap in the curtains.

Stimulated by the light, Wu Shen's eyelids twitched slightly, and he opened his eyes. His consciousness was initially hazy, and his head throbbed slightly. Just as Wu Shen was thinking of getting up, he suddenly felt something heavy yet soft pressing down on his body.

"Wuyi... don't lie on me, get up... um? No..." Wu Shen subconsciously wanted to call Wuyi to get up, but suddenly realized that the quality of this "Wuyi" was a bit off.

Rubbing his temples to clear his mind, Wu Shen finally recalled a series of events from the previous night that were enough to be recorded in his darkest history. He looked down and realized what was pressing down on him.

"Before I knew it, I couldn't stay awake any longer and ended up falling asleep."

Wu Shen had no idea what they had unconsciously done while they were asleep that led to them waking up in such an embarrassing position.

Wu Shen remembered that he was sitting on the edge of the bed before he fell asleep, but now he was lying sideways on the bed. Shi Yu should have been lying in the middle of the bed, but now she was lying diagonally on Wu Shen's stomach with her legs curled up together.

"I've heard that being too tired makes you a bad sleeper, and today I've truly witnessed it firsthand." Wu Shen propped himself up and stretched out his hands, trying to quietly move Shi Yu away so that neither of them would feel awkward when they woke up.

However, things didn't go as planned. Just as Wu Shen grasped Shi Yu's outstretched hand and prepared to move, Shi Yu's body began to sway.

"Hmm...hmm?" With a soft, pleasant moan, Shi Yu opened her sleepy eyes and met Wu Shen's gaze. Wu Shen was propping himself up with one hand and gripping Shi Yu's wrist with the other, their eyes very close.

"Huh? Huh?" Shi Yu had obviously just woken up and her mind wasn't quite clear yet. Her face was full of astonishment, clearly wondering why she would find Wu Shen in her room after waking up, and why he was making such intimate gestures.

More importantly, Wu Shen wasn't wearing clothes, but rather a bath towel. Because of sleeping all night and the pressure from Shi Yu's sleeping position, it had become loose and baggy. Except for a tight knot around his waist that prevented it from being exposed, he was practically naked.

"Shh! Keep your voice down, or all your parents' hard work last night will be for nothing!" Wu Shen quickly and skillfully covered Shi Yu's lips, while putting his other hand over his own mouth to make a silencing gesture.

Shi Yu struggled a couple of times with a "woofing" sound, but quickly regained her senses. Recalling what had happened, she stopped struggling and patted Wu Shen's hand to signal him to let go.

"Wu Shenjun, are you hiding something?" Shi Yu got up and glared at Wu Shen with resentment. As she bent over to stand up, she seemed to catch a glimpse of something ample beneath his loose collar.
