In the room:
Ye Wanwan was speechless when she heard Si Ye Han say "I"ll head over once I"ve settled some things".
Why does it sound like I"m a wife waiting for her husband to finish his work?
I"m obviously just a high school girl who can"t afford to pay tuition fees!
After reviewing math for an entire night, she had exhausted all of her energy. Once her head touched the pillow, she immediately started dozing off.
While she was still drowsy, she heard a pair of familiar footsteps approaching and a chilly breath permeating through her body.
Ye Wanwan furrowed her brows and began to prattle on about something drowsily.
Si Ye Han stared at her lips. His calloused fingers brushed over them lightly, but just as he got closer to her, he could hear her repeating, "x minus x in two series, the formula of a general term, sum to n terms... two of them has a limit, four arithmetic operations change sequentially..."
After mumbling on for what felt like half a day, she suddenly reached towards the heat source, into his embrace and called out, "Daddy..."
Si Ye Han: "..."
She then went silent like she was sound asleep. A long while later, her shoulders started trembling slightly as she mumbled in anxiety and panic, "Wanwan has been good... Wanwan has been studying... don"t be angry at me... don"t forsake me... alright..."
Si Ye Han stared at her little face with a mixed expression. After some time, he reached out and wiped away the tears forming in her eyes.
The alarm clock rang right at 6 a.m. the next morning.
Ye Wanwan instinctively buried her head into the duvet to hide from the sound of the alarm. After a long time, she came out from the covers reluctantly, turned the alarm off and made her way up like a wandering spirit.
Just as she"d risen up halfway, a large force on her waist suddenly pulled her back down.
She found herself lying in bed once again as she came face-to-face with Si Ye Han"s blindingly das.h.i.+ng face.
The curtains in the house were drawn with only a shred of faint light s.h.i.+ning in. On the soft, comfortable and warm bed, there laid a devilishly handsome man next to her. Any normal human being would probably want to sleep for an eternity.
Ye Wanwan couldn"t imagine that after worrying for so long, she"d be too exhausted and sleep all the way until dawn. She didn"t even realise when Si Ye Han came over.
Ye Wanwan"s waist was embraced by a large arm; her body was akin to a pillow being hugged. This intimate position made her heart pound, "Hey, uh... I need to get up to study..."
The man"s eyes didn"t open. He didn"t seem to have the intention of letting her get up as he said in a low voice, "There"s still two more hours."
"Uh..." Ye Wanwan was speechless.
Last night, she slept at 12 and it"s now 6 in the morning. There were still two hours to a full eight hours of sleep.
He actually counted the hours! Must he be so calculative?
Ye Wanwan was accustomed to waking up early. Although she was still really tired, to ask her to lay in bed and sleep peacefully for a full eight hours felt like a sin to her. Thus, she had to negotiate with him, "Um, Teacher Si, let"s negotiate--can I have a discount? Would six hours be alright? Even though I"m a senior in high school now, my math is still so horrendous so I really need to use all the time I have to catch up. What if I don"t do well...?"
His eyes opened slowly, dark as a piece of gla.s.s immersed in a cold lake, "You"re doubting my abilities?"
"..." Ye Wanwan was speechless.
Then what if I don"t do well? Can I get a full refund?
