Chapter 22 – Goodnight
Chapter 22 – Goodnight
Mu Yi'er's face was flushed red.
She timidly lowered her head, not daring to meet Bai Wu's gaze.
"Yi'er, let me tell you a joke!" Bai Wu's eyes twinkled as he suddenly spoke.
"Huh? Oh, okay... go ahead..."
Mu Yi'er nodded cautiously, then looked up to emphasize, "If it's another one of those cold jokes, then don't bother. They're too lame..."
After saying this, Mu Yi'er exaggeratedly shivered.
Bai Wu: "..."
"The ant joke and the ones after, were they really that bad?"
Just as the thought crossed his mind, a large percentage number appeared before Bai Wu's eyes: 100%.
"Ahem!"
Bai Wu coughed twice and smiled, "Don't worry, this time I promise it won't be a cold joke!"
"Then go ahead..." Mu Yi'er glanced at Bai Wu skeptically.
"Listen carefully!"

Bai Wu straightened his back and began, "Once upon a time, there was a man of unyielding spirit named Wang Jingze..."
"Wait, hold on, Wang Jingze, that name sounds familiar..." Mu Yi'er said, puzzled.
"Let me finish first!"
Bai Wu gave her a peculiar smile and continued, "When he was participating in a show, he made a bold declaration: 'I, Wang Jingze, would rather starve to death, die outside, or jump off from here than eat a single bite of your food!' But ten minutes later, this man of unyielding spirit, Wang Jingze, was devouring a bowl of fried rice with great relish, even exclaiming: 'So delicious!'"
After finishing, Bai Wu laughed extravagantly and exaggeratedly.
Mu Yi'er was stunned, her face full of confusion.
"Yi'er, why aren't you laughing? Isn't it funny?" Bai Wu asked in a strange tone.
"What's so funny about that?" Mu Yi'er rolled her eyes at Bai Wu, "Where's the punchline?"
"Not hungry means not hungry! Not eating means not eating! I won't drink a single sip of this soup!" Bai Wu said with a weird smile, repeating a firm statement Mu Yi'er had made earlier.
Mu Yi'er: "..."
The next moment.
Her face, which had just returned to normal, turned crimson again.
The room suddenly fell silent.
After a while.
"Ahhh!!!!!"
Mu Yi'er suddenly exclaimed, quickly changing the subject, "It's almost midnight, and I have to get up early for work tomorrow. We should go to sleep!"
Bai Wu groggily returned to Mu Yi'er's bedroom.
He closed the door and casually locked it.
"Why did you lock the door!!" Mu Yi'er suddenly emerged from under the covers.
"Uncle and Auntie..." Bai Wu shrugged, "If I don't lock it, I'm afraid tomorrow morning..."
Mu Yi'er: "..."
She burrowed back under the covers once more.
The room fell silent again.
Bai Wu slowly walked to the bed and lay down.
"Thump thump thump!!!"
In the quiet room, the sound of Mu Yi'er's rapidly beating heart echoed.
Undoubtedly, she was very nervous at this moment!
Her two small hands, exposed outside, tightly gripped the quilt.
"Yi'er, I'm turning off the light now, goodnight!"
Bai Wu said gently.
Mu Yi'er didn't respond.
Bai Wu smiled slightly, about to turn off the light.
Suddenly.
Mu Yi'er's head popped out from under the covers.
"Wa-wait a minute!"
"Hmm, what's up, Yi'er?"
"Are we now?"
"Yes!"
Bai Wu paused for a moment, then smiled gently at Mu Yi'er.
Five seconds.
Ten seconds.
Fifteen seconds.
Gradually, she began to relax.
Thirty seconds later.
"Goodnight!"
"Mm, hu~hu~ goodnight!".
