Her brain short-circuited. She blushed and stammered, “I… I’ve always been obedient!”

Rong Si’s lips curved. “Sure.”

His smile was so beautiful that Su Jiu forced herself to return to her senses and ask, “Big Brother, how long are you planning to stay here?”

“I’ll leave when you go back.”

Carefully, Su Jiu said, “Have you forgotten that I’m on summer vacation? I’ll be here for ten days to half a month without leaving. Are you staying here with me?”

“It’s not impossible.”

“Your professor might get angry.”

Rong Si intently looked at her. “That’s not important.”

She was the most important person in his heart other than his mother. It was rare for her to come over to visit him, so of course, he had to focus all his attention on her. Everything else was secondary.

Su Jiu suddenly smiled. “That’s good. Big Brother, are you staying in this hotel too?”

Rong Si nodded. Naturally.

If he could live next door to her, that would be so much better.

However, when they reached the front desk, the receptionist said that the hotel rooms were all booked and there was no way to check-in.

“Fully booked?” Su Jiu was instantly disappointed. After some thought, she turned to Rong Si and said, “Big Brother, there’s another hotel nearby. It’s not far from here. Why don’t you stay there?”

Rong Si said nothing. He seemed reluctant.

The receptionist sized the two of them up and said to Su Jiu, “Are you dating this boy? You booked a double room. If you’re a couple, you can stay with him.”

Su Jiu was stunned.

Stay together?

However, it could work. This was a good time to develop a relationship with the little villain!

“She’s right, Big Brother. I do have a double room in that room. Do you want to stay with me?”

The little girl blinked her big, clear, innocent eyes. It was impossible to imagine that she had any evil intentions. Instead, he was worried that she would suffer.

Rong Si stared at her in shock. “Stay together? Seriously?”

“I’m serious! Big Brother, we’ve known each other for so many years anyway. We’re more than friends at this point. We’ve long been inseparable, right?” Su Jiu said with a smile.

Rong Si was speechless.

Is this girl innocent or stupid? Doesn’t she know that there is a difference between men and women?

We aren’t children anymore. Doesn’t she think it would be dangerous for us to share a room alone at our age?

Rong Si was suddenly glad that he was the one standing in front of her. If it had been any other man, she might have been in danger. He had to remind her.

At that thought, Rong Si’s expression turned serious. “You’re not a kid anymore. How can you share a room with someone of the opposite gender?”

His expression was exactly the same as when Su Shengjing was trying to reason with her. Su Jiu wanted to laugh and said righteously, “I don’t casually stay with a man. It’s precisely because that person is you that I’m willing!”

Rong Si winced. “Why?”

“Because—” Su Jiu leaned closer and stood on tiptoe to speak in his ear. “I trust my big brother.”

The girl’s warm breath brushed against his ear, bringing with it an indescribable itch. It also made his heart suddenly throb fiercely, and even his eyes darkened.

Rong Si’s throat worked as he stared at her with his dark eyes. “Aren’t you afraid that I’m not as good as you think?”

“If you’re not good, then there’s no good person in this world!” Su Jiu said confidently, her eyes filled with trust in him without any doubt.
