199
Feeling the slight movement of the little head in his arms, Lu Zheng nearly had a heart attack from sheer panic.
No, wait.
What the hell was going on?
He didn’t do anything unapproved last night, right?
At most, he had taken advantage of Yi Ning’s deep sleep to poke her cheek a little—that couldn’t be a death sentence, could it?!
Lu Zheng hurriedly looked down to check both his and Yi Ning’s clothes.
Thankfully—Both of their clothes were intact and in proper condition. Nothing was messy or revealing anything sensitive.
Lu Zheng let out a small sigh of relief.
At the very least, that meant nothing inappropriate had happened while they were unconscious. He still had a chance to explain things once Yi Ning woke up.
But in the very next second, Lu Zheng made another terrifying discovery:
His Lower House had already held an emergency session and was now fully standing at attention.
As everyone knows, when a male wakes up in the morning, he sometimes experiences a physiological phenomenon where the first character is pronounced “chén” and the last is “bó”.
It’s an involuntary occurrence—not influenced by action or thought, purely a natural phenomenon.
But in this situation, its appearance was basically a direct descent into the abyss for Lu Zheng.
He could already feel the soft sensation at the tip of his primary sexual trait.
Even with multiple layers of clothing in between, he could clearly sense that… it seemed to be pressing into a soft, sunken place.
No way…
A horrifying guess appeared in Lu Zheng’s mind.
Was he about to die far from home, in an alien land?
Desperate thoughts began to echo in his mind.
He glanced around, wondering if he could quietly release Yi Ning and shift to the side, pretending like nothing had happened.
Unfortunately—Lu Zheng had already been sleeping on the outer edge of the bed. Behind him was the floor—he had nowhere to retreat.
And the wider side of the bed was behind Yi Ning. There was no way to move to the other side without disturbing her.
Checkmate.
Game over.
This was a total dead end.
Lu Zheng didn’t dare imagine what kind of punishment he’d face once Yi Ning woke up.
To ease the psychological burden, Lu Zheng even started fantasizing that, as a TS girl, Yi Ning might kindly understand this involuntary physiological occurrence and generously forgive him. And then they could celebrate with joy and Coca-Cola.
As if.
Lu Zheng let out a hopeless sigh and gave up resisting.
He pulled Yi Ning, who was still nestled in his arms, into a tighter embrace and began furiously rubbing her head with both hands.
If he was going to be executed on the spot anyway, he might as well get something out of it!
“Mm…”
“Which bastard son of a turtle is disturbing your daddy’s beauty sleep?!”
Still half-asleep and planning to doze off again, Yi Ning was abruptly awakened by the harassment to her head.
Annoyed, she opened her eyes, fully intending to make the offender experience the wrath of someone imprisoned for ten thousand years.
She swatted away the hands rubbing her head with the one she’d had tucked against Lu Zheng’s chest, sat up irritably, and looked around.
Yi Ning: “……”
She yawned, stretched, and sat up in bed as if nothing had happened.
“Morning.”
Yi Ning rubbed her eyes and casually greeted Lu Zheng, then lifted the blanket and stood up on the bed.
Wait, was she about to use a reverse kick for lift, do a triple somersault in mid-air, and then land a stomp to his abdomen with 1000% base damage?
Lu Zheng tensed up, focusing all his strength on his abdominal muscles, preparing to absorb the full force of the incoming aerial strike.
But the expected attack never came.
Lu Zheng cautiously opened his eyes.
Yi Ning simply raised her leg, calmly stepped over his body, planted a foot at the edge of the bed, slipped on a shoe, and got off.
Lu Zheng: “？”
What was this scene that looked like a married couple getting up like it was just another morning?
Was Yi Ning planning to carry out his execution only after getting out of bed?
Yi Ning stood at the side of the bed, bent over to pick up her clothes, and looked at Lu Zheng—who was still lying there—with an expression full of impatience.
“What are you still lying there for?”
She kicked the bed frame and pointed her thumb toward the door behind her.
Lu Zheng: “？”
What was with this totally nothing-happened vibe?
He’d clearly taken advantage of Yi Ning being asleep to poke her face, hug her tight in his arms, rub her head repeatedly, and even… pressed his flagpole against her sunken spot...
No matter how you looked at it, he should’ve been pinned to the ground and beaten within an inch of his life, right?
Why was Yi Ning acting so weird?
Could it be…
Had their relationship progressed to the point where such physical contact wasn’t even strange anymore?
Nonexistent memories added!
Lu Zheng lifted his head to look at Yi Ning, wanting to ask what day it was and confirm whether he had amnesia.
But before he could speak, Yi Ning, impatient again, gave the bed frame another kick.
“You planning to sit there and watch me change?”
She pointed again at the door behind her—the meaning couldn’t be more obvious.
Lu Zheng blinked, thought for a second, then nimbly flipped off the bed and zipped out the door in three quick steps, not forgetting to thoughtfully close the door behind him.
Looks like their relationship hadn’t gotten that far after all.
Nonexistent memories deleted.
But Yi Ning’s behavior… What was up with that?
Inside the room, Yi Ning looked at the closed door, sighed helplessly, turned around, and sat on the edge of the bed like her strength had left her. The clothes she had been holding draped limply over the bed.
“Tch…”
Yi Ning pouted, and her usually cool expression gained a faint flush.
After being woken up by Lu Zheng, she’d originally planned to go ballistic—give him a few solid kicks to let out her early morning grumpiness.
But once she fully woke up and looked around the room, she awkwardly realized… this whole thing might’ve been her fault.
Lu Zheng had done nothing wrong in waking her up.
Before falling asleep, she and Lu Zheng had each stayed on their own side of the bed—one person occupying half.
But in the morning, both of them had ended up on Lu Zheng’s side.
If you used the centerline of the double bed as a border, then she had clearly invaded Lu Zheng’s territory.
And not just partially invaded—she had completely smuggled her entire body over to Lu Zheng’s side.
That alone made Yi Ning feel super awkward.
Sure, she could have chosen to be unreasonable, throw a tantrum, and make a big fuss about it.
But what if—after the commotion—Lu Zheng discovered she had been the one who crossed over?
Yi Ning didn’t even want to imagine how brutally he’d tease her.
He’d definitely cling to that one slip and bring it up to mess with her every couple of days.
Several minutes passed before she finally calmed down.
Yi Ning sat up and began changing her clothes.
What she had on now was sleepwear borrowed from Lester’s sister.
According to her, it was brand-new and hadn’t been worn before, so she lent it to Yi Ning.
After getting dressed, Yi Ning sighed again and felt slightly regretful for brushing the matter off so easily.
She’d been too dazed upon waking and had overlooked some very important details.
When she woke up, she’d been tightly held in Lu Zheng’s arms!
Sure, she was a girl now and understood what it meant for a girl to be held by a guy like that… but she had been male before, and didn’t really care much about that sort of thing.
But more importantly!
After she finished changing, she suddenly remembered—when she’d been dozing off for a second round of sleep, there had been a thick, cylindrical object pressing right against her navel!
Yi Ning’s face turned red again.
Maybe it was because her little buddy had been gone for quite some time now, but when she recalled that moment, she actually had the thought: “That was… really impressive.”
What the hell!
How could this happen?!
She had once boasted a full 20 centimeters!
20 cm!!
It was just Lu Zheng—how could she have that kind of thought?!
