"Then that’s the only way."

Although An Ning said this, she still felt uneasy inside.

Clearly, this was her home, clearly, she could do as she pleased.

But now, for someone else, she found herself acting timidly, like a thief.

The feeling was so unsettling, to say the least.

Night, starlight twinkled.

A slight noise came from the window, and the next moment, Sikong Wuyou flipped in through it.

An Ning turned her head and just caught sight of his figure.

Immediately, she smiled gently and rushed towards him.

Wrapping her arms around his lean waist, An Ning pinched him lightly, then pouted, "Have you not been eating well lately? You seem to have lost some weight."

Previously, her arms weren’t long enough to encircle his waist, but now, hugging him again, they fit perfectly around him.

Sikong Wuyou chuckled softly, his magnetic voice slightly hoarse, "Silly girl, it’s you who has grown!"

An Ning then laughed happily, "Really, have I grown up?"

As she said this, An Ning released him and looked down at her own body.

But despite the time that had passed, she hadn’t noticed any signs of growth.

Of course, the slightly burgeoning small buns on her chest didn’t catch her attention at all. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Of course you’ve grown, you’re thirteen now..." Only two more years, it would be better if time could pass a bit quicker.

Sikong Wuyou had never imagined that he would ever be so impatient.

But whenever he thought of that day arriving, he couldn’t help but feel a subtle excitement in his heart.

"Ningning, grow up quickly, I’m really afraid I won’t be able to wait..." And then, end up hurting you.

The latter words, Sikong Wuyou never dared to say out loud because even he felt that it was wrong to have such impure thoughts about someone as petite as An Ning.

An Ning snuggled in his embrace.

Didn’t she also wish she could grow up faster!

Unfortunately, time would pass day by day, and she couldn’t suddenly transform into a woman ready to marry and have children!

"By the way, why did you come over at this time?" An Ning asked.

Sikong Wuyou’s voice carried a strong sense of grievance, "Ningning, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other..."

"If you didn’t want to see me, what could a weak girl like me do?" An Ning replied mischievously.

Sikong Wuyou suddenly tightened his arms, holding her close, then lightly tapped her nose with his finger, "Little rascal, are you doing this on purpose?"

He knew she was aware of his desire to stick to her every day, but now An Ning’s home had been joined by Yan Shi and An Yu.

He couldn’t come and go as freely as he’d want, being with An Ning anytime and anywhere.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt nostalgic for past times.

Back then, An Ning was the only one in the house, and he could come and go freely, without worrying about being seen and talked about.

Unlike now, going several days without a visit, and even then, being cautious not to be discovered.

With a budding first love, An Ning and Sikong Wuyou found themselves unable to stick together constantly, and this was precisely the situation they were in now.
