Are you struggling with this?

  They were discussing the troubles and worries in life, but she made a dramatic face as if to say "the scenery is so beautiful". It was infuriating, especially since it came from a cute little loli. Leng Xiaoyu felt both angry and amused at the same time, finally losing her patience with a cold expression, rolling her eyes and saying: "You're still acting cute at a time like this..."

  Driven by a helpless and disappointed mood, she sat down on the bed with a chill, using her small white feet to pull out the slippers under the bed, preparing to get out of bed.

  "Listen to me!"

  Ye Cai's sudden pounce, hugging her chest and pulling her onto the bed, said with a sulky face: "What's wrong with you, I haven't even said anything yet."

  The soft and gentle tone of the melancholic girl is terrifying, it's like a slow and relentless attack that leaves one breathless, but after all, as a man, he can't lose face, so he can't let his girlfriend take control.

  She casually pushed Ye Cai away, pretending to be careless with a slight pout, propped her elbow on the bed and supported her cheek, adjusting herself into a comfortable position, saying: "Go ahead, I'm listening."

  Feeling the obvious coldness and indifference from the one she loved, Ye Cai's eyes dimmed slightly, revealing a hint of melancholy. She listlessly crawled to Leng Xiao's side, lowered her head and muttered: "You... do you want to hear me say something?"

  "Hmm..."

  Her eyebrows arched high, Leng Xiao Ya sneered with a mocking smile, saying: "You're kidding me, right?"

  Seeing Ye's awkward smile, she seemed to have really forgotten, and suddenly her anger rose from her heart. She angrily said: "Damn it, I'm asking you, am I your boyfriend!?"

  "Yes, yes, yes..." Ye Cai nodded hastily, with a humble and apologetic smile, of course to soothe Leng Xiao's resentful mood.

  "It's nothing."

  She cast a cold and disdainful glance, then got out of bed with a sudden movement.

  "Hey, hey, listen to me!" Ye Cai rushed over and quickly pulled her back. After all, she was his girlfriend, and with a raised eyebrow and an angry glare, she could only vent her anger on herself due to the macho mentality. Seeing that the atmosphere had eased slightly, Ye Cai spoke in a gentle tone, "Calm down, calm down... let it out..."

  "Holding back her indignation and anger, Leng Xiao Ya quietly composed herself, her cold eyes slanting over as she said, 'Alright, speak.'"

  Ye Cai lowered her eyelids and fell into silence, her small face buried under the shadows of her medium-length hair.

  Sometimes formality can be so oppressive and gloomy, seeing Ye Cai's solemn expression, Xiao Xiaoyu awkwardly pouted her mouth, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward and repressed.

  "Strictly speaking, you're not my boyfriend..."

  In a low and slightly hoarse tone, there is more bitterness and helplessness, less innocence and cuteness, it no longer sounds soft and moving, but instead makes people feel melancholy and heartbroken.

  The rarely serious confession of the little silly girlfriend made Ling Xiao have a bad temper, but instead, she felt guilty and pitied herself for her own incompetence. She was so shy and hesitant, but Ye Cai, who sensed that the atmosphere had turned sour, took the lead.

  "You're my boyfriend! In some sense, you are my boyfriend!"

  Her chubby and rosy little face, when serious and solemn, appears willful and cute. With her big round eyes staring intensely, Leng Xiaoyu is taken aback, and can't help but take her seriously, to the point where her eyes become hot and moist with a hint of emotion, and she feels comforted in her subconscious. She murmurs: "Xiao Cai..."

  In the dimly lit dormitory that sheltered two naked girls, this sentimental and affectionate call suddenly rang out. The infatuated tone gradually dissipated with the quiet passage of time, but at the same time, it overflowed with a cheesy flavor like a soap opera.

  Her eyes were dazed like a pool of spring water, gazing deeply with emotion, her knees involuntarily moved closer, subtly wanting to pounce over and hug that silly and cute loli.

  Ye Cai's scalp suddenly went numb, and she pursed her lips, shrinking her neck, with a face full of embarrassment and awkwardness, and instantly raised her palm.

  "Halt!"

  A hint of confusion flickered in her eyes like ripples under the moon, and she reminded him, "Remember your position, you are my man."

  "Oh..." Leng Xiao Yi suddenly came back to her senses, she had been thinking for a long time but still couldn't understand. Due to the pressure of time, she muttered: "I'm a man, yeah, I'm a man... men can't be infatuated..."

  She seemed to sense that Ye Cai's eyes were strange, and with a bit of a broken jar mentality, she nervously laughed and said: "I'm a man, I'm a man, you're a woman..."

  Ye Cai's face was filled with a look of horror and disdain, without any mercy, she raised her hand to point at him and defined, "You're crazy."

  Nature reserves a few rational cold words, feeling a bit embarrassed, but such a morbid posture has been put out, so it can't be abandoned halfway, otherwise it looks like a fool. The cold little girl couldn't help but laugh and say: "I'm not crazy, I really understand..."

  In the humble and disdainful gaze of Ye Cai, she said with one hand pointing and the other palm up, "You see, you're a woman, I'm a man. In bed, I press down on you, outside, I protect you. Isn't that right?"

  "Alright, alright, don't drag out unnecessary things..."

  Yeast really couldn't bear it anymore, waving her hand in annoyance and frustration, which made the outwardly confident and proud Leng Xiaoyu instantly lose her energy, her straight waist bending down like a weeping willow, becoming disheartened and resentful.

  After the twisted and distorted fighting spirit was defeated, only a mess of grievances and dissatisfaction remained. She raised her pair of eyes that seemed to see right through the autumn water and said in a choked tone: "You say what I'm saying is useless nonsense, yes, I'm uncultured, you're cultured, then why don't you speak up? Why do you treat me like your man?"

  Leaving a disappointed glance, Ye Cai's mouth fell silent, and Leng Xiao also shot back a defiant glare. Neither of them looked at each other, but instead used icy, stifling breaths to maintain their lingering thoughts in their minds. The cold war came so suddenly.

  But the cold war between lovers is often due to mutual misunderstanding. Ye Cai thought for a moment, then secretly reviewed from start to finish, Leng Xiaoyao's abnormal and self-abandoning words and deeds, and also had some clues. At this time, she turned her eyes and quietly glanced at the position that was hanging in her heart, but saw Leng Xiaoyao lowering his face and slightly pouting, without anger or hostility, only with a sense of resentment, desolation and confusion.

  Ye Cai's eyebrows suddenly raised, it seemed that more than half of it was due to her own reasons.

  Coughing to attract attention, pretending to be nonchalant with a slight pout, she gazed at Leng Xiaoyu stealthily and said slowly: "You... lack confidence?"

  It was as if she had been caught, Leng Xiaoyao suddenly shrunk her neck, and a blush of shyness flashed across her face, then she became angry with shame, her apricot eyes widened in inquiry: "Who, who is not confident?"

  Ye Cai touched her nose and looked slightly embarrassed: "A man's chivalry and all that, are you worried about this?"

  The words were too straightforward, directly hitting the sore spot, causing the cold and arrogant Xiao Ya to be stunned again. A red glow quietly floated onto her cheeks, she was both panicked and shy, her eyes darting back and forth, her lips murmuring but unable to say anything, in the end she could only nod slightly and lower her head.

  And seeing this, Ye Cai was even more convinced of his own guess, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "A man's heroic spirit, heroic spirit... Hmph, I'm laughing to death."

  Leng Xiao listened to the sweet laughter and couldn't help but peek, only to see Ye Cai really laughing, with a hint of Yao Ming's smile.

  【PS】

  A cute and silly little loli came to a dimly lit small rental house, extremely naturally climbed into the arms of a decadent woman sitting in front of the computer, rubbed against her, played with a strand of hair, and cooed: "Sae-chan, do you know what a man's masculine charm is?"

  The otaku girl's gentle and soothing movements suddenly stiffened, her eyes wandered in thought, and she actually started to smile foolishly, with a hint of drool at the corner of her mouth, which she swallowed back while muttering: "I also want to experience it once..."
