Chapter 272: The Sect Leader Wakes Up Grumpy Every Day (20)

So the two of them sat on the doorstep of the kitchen, looking at the few stars in the sky and feeling the night breeze.

Jun Jiuling propped his cheek up and seemed to suddenly think of something. He turned his face and said, “Miss, I still don’t know your name?”

Shen Mubai looked at the handsome face so close to her, hesitated for a moment, and said, “My name is Mubai.”

God knows she’s had enough of being called Cuihua. Although the person in front of her is also Jun Jiuling, the key is that the daytime him has no memory of the night, and the nighttime him has no memory of the day. It’s just too fitting.

Jun Jiuling blinked, his eyes curving into a smile, and said, “Then can I call you Bai Bai?”

Shen Mubai, “…”

Jun Jiuling seemed to fall in love with this name. He propped his cheek up and looked at her with shining eyes, calling out continuously, “Bai Bai, Bai Bai, Bai Bai.”

Shen Mubai almost bumped her head against the door panel. Finally, she took a deep breath and said, “Do you want to reconsider?”

Jun Jiuling pouted, looking quite aggrieved. “But I just like calling you Bai Bai.”

Shen Mubai, “…okay.” Anything is better than being called Cuihua.

After hearing her answer, Jun Jiuling blinked, smiled happily, and suddenly hugged Shen Mubai tightly. “Bai Bai.”

Shen Mubai almost got crushed by him and struggled to say, “Can you get up first…”

Jun Jiuling sniffed her scent vigorously, blinked, and said, “Bai Bai, you smell so good.”

Shen Mubai was still breathing heavily, “…if you don’t get up soon, there won’t be anyone to cook for you in the future.”

Jun Jiuling quickly got up, patted her back hard, and whispered, “I’m sorry, Bai Bai, I didn’t mean to.”

Shen Mubai had nothing else to say; of course, she chose to forgive him.

After a while of chatting and fooling around, Jun Jiuling showed no signs of wanting to sleep. But Shen Mubai, with faint dark circles under her eyes, kept yawning.

Jun Jiuling looked at her for a while and whispered, “Bai Bai, are you tired?”

There seemed to be a glimmer of hope in his eyes, making people reluctant to let him down.

Shen Mubai secretly pinched herself and then said, “I’m not tired yet.”

Jun Jiuling’s eyes lit up, and he continued talking.

Shen Mubai felt frustrated, wondering if there was something wrong with her.

The two chatted aimlessly, mostly playful banter. Finally, after what felt like a long time, Shen Mubai couldn’t hold on any longer.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she yawned, “I can’t do it anymore, I need to sleep.”

Although Jun Jiuling was disappointed, he saw the obvious signs of sleep deprivation in the girl and kept quiet. He watched her stretch and yawn, his cheeks slightly red as if he thought of something, but he was too embarrassed to say it. He just said, “You should go to bed.”

Shen Mubai nodded.

Jun Jiuling looked at her with sparkling eyes, showing a big smile, and narrowed his eyes. “Bai Bai, I’ll come to see you tomorrow.”

Shen Mubai had already expected this, so she responded perfunctorily and stood up, saying, “I’m going to bed now. You should go back to sleep, too. Goodnight.”

Jun Jiuling propped his cheek up, his eyes blinking as he watched her. “Goodnight.”

Shen Mubai took a few steps, suddenly remembered something, and said to the system, “With him like this, it shouldn’t be a problem if he encounters an assassin, right?”

The system replied, “Do you think he’s you?”

Shen Mubai felt like she was going to cough up blood.
