Auntie Ning pushed open the door and walked in, saying, “I came home to get something. I have to attend a wedding later. When 1 came back, I heard some noise coming from your room. It’s almost dawn, and you’re still staying up late. Be careful not to harm your health.”

Ning Xiaoyu hurriedly replied, “1 didn’t stay up late. I just woke up to use the bathroom, and I’m going to sleep again.”

Auntie Ning didn’t immediately leave. She sat down by the bed and said, “Oh, has Xiaofei come back tonight?”

“No! He hasn’t come back!” Ning Xiaoyu nervously held onto Ye Xiaofei’s head, her arms tightly wrapped around it, and her legs clasping his body, as if she could hide Ye Xiaofei inside her own body.

Ye Xiaofei’s face was pressed against Ning Xiaoyu’s body, his nose and mouth blocked, unable to breathe.

Auntie Ning sighed and said, “Ah, this child, is always so busy and never comes home. But with his talent, he will naturally have many things to do.”

“Yes, he must be very busy. Mom, I don’t want to talk anymore. I want to sleep.”

Auntie Ning complained, “You little girl, how can you be so impatient? 1 just wanted to chat with you for a while.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to; I’m really sleepy. Let’s talk when it’s daylight, okay?”

“Fine! Fine! I’m leaving. Go to sleep quickly.” Auntie Ning got up and walked towards the door.

Finally, Ye Xiaofei and Ning Xiaoyu’s bodies relaxed a little. Ye Xiaofei’s face was able to move slightly backward, and he quickly took a breath.

Auntie Ning stopped at the entrance of the bathroom and said, “I’m going to use the restroom.”

Then she turned on the light and went in.

After a while, she came out and said in confusion, “Xiaoyu, you said Xiaofei didn’t come back, so why are his clothes here, washed?”

“All! Well…” Ning Xiaoyu suddenly panicked, unable to answer coherently.

Auntie Ning frowned and returned, sitting back on the bed. She worriedly said, “What’s wrong? Did you have a conflict with Xiaofei?”

“No! No!” Ning Xiaoyu answered anxiously, once again hugging Ye Xiaofei tightly with her arms.

“Xiaoyu, as your mother, I have to remind you about this. Xiaofei is an important person, completely different from us ordinary people. And he has given us everything, which is a great favor. So no matter how he treats you, even if he hits you or scolds you, you must not get upset with him.”

“Xiaofei would never hit or scold me. He is good to me,” Ning Xiaoyu calmed down a bit and quickly said, “He took me shopping earlier today, and I just washed his clothes.”

Auntie Ning still had some concerns and asked, “Are you truly not having any conflicts?”

“Absolutely not, you can ask him when he comes back.”

“Okay! Fine.” Auntie Ning nodded and stood up. This time, her gaze shifted to the end of the bed, and her mouth twitched slightly. She said, “I’m leaving. Sleep well.”

Auntie Ning walked briskly out, closing the bedroom door behind her.

After she returned to the room, she couldn’t help but shake her head with a bitter smile.

She had just seen a glimpse of a man’s leg sticking out from under the blanket. It was undoubtedly a man.

There was a man hidden in Ning Xiaoyu’s blanket, and that man… was undoubtedly Ye Xiaofei.

Auntie Ning knew her daughter well; she had never been so close to any other boy before. And her daughter’s heart was all focused on Ye Xiaofei.

If it weren’t for Ye Xiaofei, how could Ning Xiaoyu possibly let someone into her bed?

However, Ning Xiaoyu was still young. She was only eighteen years old this year, about to go to college soon. With the situation with Ye Xiaofei happening now, she really didn’t know if it was good or bad.

Auntie Ning didn’t want to intervene either because she believed in Ye Xiaofei’s character. Even if they were truly together, he wouldn’t harm Ning Xiaoyu.

In addition, she would need to remind her daughter later to take safety precautions. It wouldn’t do for her to come back home and have a child before even finishing college.

Ning Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaofei were unaware that her mother had already seen through them.

So, the two of them remained in that position, afraid to move.

After about ten minutes, they finally heard the sound of the front door closing.

“Phew…” Ning Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Finally, he’s gone.”

Ye Xiaofei quickly peeked out, panting heavily, and said, “I almost suffocated.”

“Oh, I’m really sorry. 1 was so nervous just now. Are you okay?” Ning Xiaoyu anxiously looked at Ye Xiaofei.

“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Ye Xiaofei shook his head and grinned, “Auntie didn’t notice me, did she?”

Ning Xiaoyu nervously replied, “I don’t think so. If she had, she would have called me out directly.”

Neither of them had experience dealing with their parents, so they had no idea that parents sometimes pretended not to know to protect their children’s self-esteem.

“Oh dear, why is my chest all wet?” Ning Xiaoyu tugged at her pajamas.

Ye Xiaofei suddenly looked embarrassed. It was obvious that the wetness was caused by his saliva when he was struggling to breathe..
