[I thought Vu Shu would be very averse to Yan Jin knowing his pseudonym. Who knew what he was actually worried about was Yan Jin holding his pseudonym and bullying him even more?]

“When did I ever bully you?” Yan Jin felt wronged.

Vu Shu raised an eyebrow. “Every time you deliberately tease me and make me angry, doesn’t that count as bullying me?”

“I do that because I find you cute.” Yan Jin said earnestly: “You have no idea how good-looking you are when you get angry. Your eyes shine brightly, as if they have little stars in them.”

Vu Shu wanted to keep a straight face and not let himself smile.

But every time, Yan Jin’s compliments touched his heart.

Vu Shu held back, held back again, but still couldn’t help letting out a chuckle.

“Then in the future, you can’t use my pseudonym against me, and you definitely can’t use it to tease me and make me angry.” Vu Shu said seriously: “Although I do look very good when I’m angry, don’t you think I look even better when I’m happy?”

“Indeed.” Yan Jin’s legs were getting a bit numb from squatting. As she stood up, she nodded in agreement. “Our great author Yuanzi Jiu looks the best when he’s smiling.”

“Yan Jin!” Vu Shu slightly raised his voice. “You just promised not to tease me with my pseudonym!”

“Okay, okay, I’ll listen to Yuan Yuan, Vu Yuan Yuan.” Yan Jin saw Vu Shu getting up to pinch her cheeks and quickly took a step back, trying to dodge him.

But Vu Shu was faster than her. He swiftly covered Yan Jin’s mouth, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed. “Don’t call me by that name.”

Vu Shu had been “bullied” by Yan Jin so many times. This time, he was determined to properly “teach her a lesson.” Not only did he cover Yan Jin’s mouth, but as Yan Jin stepped back to avoid him, he used his left arm to prop against the door, trapping Yan Jin against it and encircling her in his embrace.

“You know my pen name, you know my nickname, you know everything about me. It’s not fair.” Vu Shu looked at Yan Jin, who was trapped in his arms, and a secret joy flashed through his heart. “To be fair, you have to tell me something that others don’t know about you.”

Perhaps out of habit, Vu Shu was used to being teased by Yan Jin, so he wasn’t actually very angry just now. What angered Vu Shu was that Yan Jin knew everything about him, but he knew nothing about her.

Yan Jin blinked, her eyelashes fluttering, making Vu Shu’s palm itch.

Vu Shu inappropriately recalled a scene from his previous story, where the female lead covered the male lead’s mouth, and the male lead deliberately licked her palm with his tongue.

Thinking of this, Vu Shu retracted his hand as if it had been scalded, his face turning red.

Although Yan Jin didn’t understand why Vu Shu’s face turned red again, it didn’t affect her from retorting: “Aren’t you afraid I’ll just make up something random?”

“No.” Vu Shu shook his head. “Because you won’t deceive me. I trust you.”

Originally, the two were already extremely close. In fact, if Yan Jin just raised her head, she could kiss Vu Shu’s lips.

With Vu Shu’s words, Yan Jin could feel his sincerity from such a close distance.

“My nickname is Xiao Xiao,” Yan Jin said, seeing Vu Shu’s disbelieving wide eyes. She suddenly felt this nickname of hers was quite cute too.

“When I was little, I didn’t have much expression and didn’t like to smile. In order to make me smile more, my parents gave me this nickname.”

Yan Jin spread her hands. “Unfortunately, it had the opposite effect. After being given this nickname, I liked smiling even less. So only my family knows this nickname. Now, besides my family, no one calls me Xiao Xiao.”

“My nickname is Yuan Yuan. Besides my family, no one calls me Yuan Yuan either. You can call me Yuan Yuan. As an exchange.” Vu Shu blinked and asked softly, “Can I call you Xiao Xiao?”

[Stay calm, stay calm. Ah!! I can’t stay calm! Vu Bao, do you know what you’re saying?!] [Can I boldly speculate about Vu Shu’s subtext? “I want to be your family”! Who can resist shipping this sugar?] [Can the CP fans not get carried away? They are indeed the only family to each other in this different world. What’s so hard to understand? What’s so shippable? Isn’t familial love more shippable than romantic love?]

“Of course you can.” The corners of Yan Jin’s lips curled up slightly. “After all, we are the only family to each other in this world, Vu Yuan Yuan.”

“You’re right.” Vu Shu also smiled. “Yan Xiao Xiao.”

Vu Shu said that after exposing his pseudonym in front of Yan Jin, every time he wrote, he would no longer sneak into his room to write, but would openly write with the door and windows open.

Faced with Yan Jin’s puzzlement, Vu Shu righteously said, “With the room’s windows closed, it’s so stuffy. If I hadn’t been afraid of exposing my pseudonym before, I would have opened them long ago.”
