When she returned to school on Monday, Uncle Qin had already helped her choose a few houses nearby. He handed her the map and location of the houses and let her choose.

  That afternoon, she had already made her choice. She sent a message to Uncle Qin and told him the house she had chosen. Uncle Qin said that they would immediately arrange for someone to tidy up the existing renovations in the house. This was because this house had been newly renovated and sold not long ago. There was no need to renovate it. Uncle Qin said that he wanted to check the formaldehyde properly and disinfect it. In another four to five days, she would be able to move in on the weekend.

  All day long, Shi Niange had been looking at the room designs and rarely paid much attention to Qin Siting. After settling the matter in the afternoon, she turned to look at her deskmate and noticed that he didn’t seem to be in a good mood today. He would lie on the table to catch up on sleep when he was free. Usually, he was cold enough, but today, he seemed to be in a bad mood. The word ‘anger’ was clearly written on his handsome and cold face.

  Furthermore, because he didn’t sleep well last night, his eyes seemed to be slightly hazy. Occasionally, when he lowered his eyes to look at his book, one could see how bad his sleep last night was.

  There were three hours of self-study at night. Shi Niange went to buy a cup of warm milk before her self-study session. The moment she came back, she saw that Qin Siting had already taken the opportunity to take a good rest. She rushed forward to place the milk on the desk in front of him.

  Even the gentle movements between the brows of the handsome man could be seen. Qin Siting expressionlessly glanced at the milk on the table and then at her.

  “It’ll be three hours of self-study. You’re so good at your studies. It doesn’t matter if you take an hour or two to sleep first. Drink some milk before sleeping,” Shi Niange said as she touched the glass bottle containing the milk. “The temperature is just right for you to drink.”


  “Take it away. I won’t drink it.”


  His clear and cold voice was still distant. He did not seem like a classmate who had been sitting at the same table for a week. As expected, the teacher was right. When she sat with him, she could not feel any love for him.

  However, looking at his sleepy eyes, Shi Niange felt that he looked especially harmless at this time. She said, “Then I’ll leave it here first. The teacher asked me to go to the office to catch up on the important classes for the second year. I might not be around for the next three hours. If you feel uncomfortable lying on the table, you can pull my chair over and lie down.”


  After speaking, Shi Niange smiled at him. Without waiting for him to speak, she picked up her books and papers and left.

  When she came back from the teacher’s office to retrieve another set of papers more than an hour later, she saw that the bottle of milk was still placed in the corner in front of his desk. It was untouched. The milk must have turned cold.

  He really did not drink a single sip.

  However, he left it there and did not throw it away. He did not trample on her good intentions and simply did not accept it.

  Shi Niange walked over to pick up the papers. As she did so, she looked at him and saw that he seemed to have fallen asleep on the desk. When he was sleeping, his face was facing down. With his elbow blocking her view, she could not see his face clearly. She could only see the young man’s clean ears and smooth and beautiful neckline.

  She picked up the bottle of milk and went to the supermarket downstairs. She asked the auntie in the supermarket to heat it up and quickly took it back. When she returned to the classroom, the second hour of self-study had just ended. Perhaps because Hao Xiuse was too fat, he bumped into Qin Siting’s desk as he walked past the classroom and woke him up. Right now, he was apologizing with a red face.

  Qin Siting’s face was clearly filled with dissatisfaction from being woken up from his sleep, but it showed mostly his drowsiness. Hao Xiuse apologized by the side for a long time, but he did not speak. He did not even look at the other party, but his handsome brows were slightly furrowed, clearly unhappy from being disturbed.

  Seeing that Hao Xiushe was so frightened, Shi Niange quickly walked over and blocked the little fatty behind her. She waved her hand behind her, indicating for him to stop talking and to leave quickly. However, Hao Xiushe looked as though he was responsible and refused to leave. He even tugged at her. “I’m fine. I’ll apologize to Almighty Qin properly. You don’t have to care……”


  “Can’t you see that your Almighty Qin is so sleepy that he doesn’t have the energy to care about you?”


  Hao Xiushe looked at Qin Siting again and felt that it was true. Earlier, he had subconsciously apologized, but Qin Siting had really not said a single word or glared at him. He had only frightened himself.

  The little fatty scratched his head in embarrassment. “Then I’ll go to the toilet first. There’s still self-study later.”


  “Go, go.”


  After they left, Shi Niange placed the milk she had just warmed onto Qin Siting’s table. As she had come back in a hurry, the milk bottle was still slightly hot. After standing there and speaking for a long time, her palm was slightly hot. She secretly pinched her palm and said, “You think the yogurt is unhealthy. It’s fine if you don’t like it. You have to drink hot milk. Drink some now. It’ll help you sleep when you go home at night. I specially went to ask the supermarket’s auntie to heat it up again. Please accept my kindness, good deskmate.”


  Perhaps because the words ‘good deskmare’ carried a hint of praise or derision, Qin Siting glanced at her coldly. He was about to let her take it away, but at the same time, he saw that her hand was slightly red. It was obvious that she had just been scalded. She even secretly held it in an attempt to conceal it.

  He retracted his gaze and glanced at the milk on the table. He reached for it, opened it, and drank it.

  “Hey, be careful. It’s a little hot……” The moment Shi Niange spoke, she saw that he had already finished the drink.

  After all, boys and girls were different. When women drank milk, they would sip it slowly. When men drank it, they would drink it in one gulp. Although Qin Siting looked handsome and refined, he was a cold, straight man. He would either not drink it or drink it.

  Although it was a little hot, she had taken it from the supermarket for a long time. No matter how hot it was, it wouldn’t hurt his mouth. He expressionlessly threw the empty milk bottle into the trash can two meters away behind his seat and looked at her again. “All right?”


  When she met his gaze, Shi Niange’s heart began to beat uncontrollably again. She then looked at his face, which had become much redder after drinking the warm milk. She suddenly chuckled and nodded with a silly smile. “Then go to sleep. I’ll continue with the tutoring……”


  Qin Siting did not speak. He retracted his gaze and picked up the papers. He clearly did not plan on sleeping anymore……

  So good…… look.

  Cough, how nice.

  He was even willing to drink the milk she gave him.

  Even though he remained cold and cheerless from beginning to end, this was at least a step closer.
