Chapter 48 -48: Testing the Waters
As for confessing again, Xinan still didn’t have the courage to take that step, or maybe she could try what Jiang Yurou suggested, to probe a little first.
But how to probe? This really was a difficult problem.
At night, Xinan lay in her soft bed, closing her eyes and tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Her mind was filled with what Jiang Yurou had said that afternoon.
Xinan took out her phone, opened the Tieba she hadn’t used for a long time, and then posted the first post of her life: How to probe if a guy likes you?
There seemed to be many people online on Tieba at night, and as soon as this question was posted, people began to reply immediately.
1st floor: You go like his Moments in a row, and see if he’ll come and chat with you.
Xinan logged into WeChat, opened the chat with Cheng Yi, and went to his Moments, only to find it completely empty – he had never posted anything.
It seemed right; he wasn’t the type who liked to share his life on Moments.
2nd floor: You tell him a cold joke, and see how he reacts. If he compliments you for being cute, there might be a chance.
A cold joke? But she couldn’t even tell a joke at all.
Helplessly, Xinan had to open Baidu again and do some searching.
Just then, Cheng Yi had just finished showering and came out from the bathroom. Xinan cleared her throat twice, then sat up in bed and called out his name, “Cheng Yi?”
Since that last time, Cheng Yi’s demeanor had become exceptionally calm. Although the two still slept on the same bed every night, they only chatted under the covers, and Cheng Yi hadn’t touched her again.
Hearing Xinan’s voice, Cheng Yi only replied with a muffled “Hmm.”
Xinan’s tone was gentle as she began, “Shall I tell you a joke?”
Cheng Yi was drying his hair with a towel at that moment. He paused when he heard her, then let out another “Hmm.”
Xinan read the joke she had just found online, word for word, “Once, there was a group of patients in a mental hospital. One day, it suddenly began to rain, and they all rushed out to shower in the rain, except for one person who did not join them. Just then, the director passed by and thought he had recovered, so he asked: ‘Why didn’t you join them for the shower?'”
Xinan paused, then asked Cheng Yi, “Do you know what he said?”
Cheng Yi put the towel aside, “What did he say?”
“He said: ‘Those idiots, I told them to shower first. I’ll wait until the water is warm before I shower, hahaha.'” Xinan finished telling the joke, then started laughing first, holding her stomach with a hearty “hahaha.”
Cheng Yi was stunned for a moment, but the corners of his mouth maintained a straight line, never curving.
Seeing Cheng Yi’s expression unchanged, Xinan’s own smile quickly faded. Well, it seems this method doesn’t work too well on Cheng Yi…
Xinan laughed awkwardly a few times and then said, “Um, I’m going to sleep.”
At that moment, she really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Cheng Yi tugged at the corner of his mouth, saying nothing.
Xinan burrowed into the covers, pulled out her phone again, and replied to the second-floor poster, “Your method doesn’t seem to work on him; I told him the joke, and he had no reaction.”
The person on the second floor replied promptly, “Is there a possibility that he simply does not like you?”
That comment hit Xinan hard.
Just as she was about to log off in disappointment, a netizen named Kudou Shizuka commented: What’s his personality like?
Xinan; His personality is very aloof, a bit scheming, and rather caustic.
Kudou Shizuka: Then the methods the two above mentioned might not work. This kind of person tends to be quite secretive; they keep everything to themselves. You wouldn’t be able to tell.
This person seemed to understand, and Xinan grasped at this advice like a lifeline, replying immediately, “Then what should I do?”
Kudou Shizuka: From what you’ve said, it seems you and this guy live quite close. You can start by observing your daily interactions, see if he treats you differently from others, or try to get him to do something he dislikes and see his reaction.
Xinan, half-understanding, logged off Tieba.
Suddenly, the bed beside her dipped as Cheng Yi lay down.

Usually, Cheng Yi wouldn’t go straight to sleep after getting in bed; he would typically spend a while reading documents or financial news.
Get him to do something he dislikes?
Xinan, with eyes closed, pretended to sleep for a while, then slowly stretched out a foot and gently rested it on Cheng Yi’s leg.
The movement was so natural that even Xinan couldn’t help but praise herself inwardly.
Cheng Yi shouldn’t suspect she did it on purpose, right?
Just when Xinan thought Cheng Yi would move her leg away, after one minute, two minutes, three minutes, he remained still.
As if this was completely normal.
In order not to let Cheng Yi know she wasn’t asleep, Xinan kept her leg there.
Until she heard the sound of Cheng Yi closing a magazine, the bedroom light was turned off, and then Cheng Yi’s body began to slide down, slowly lying on his side.
At that moment, Xinan also turned on her side, naturally wrapping her leg around Cheng Yi’s waist.
The temperature in the air seemed to rise due to the intimate atmosphere.
Their breaths intertwined, and they could each hear the other’s heartbeat.
Cheng Yi was momentarily stunned, but he did not move, allowing Xinan to embrace him like this.
In fact, from the moment Xinan placed her leg on his, he was already overwhelmed. Despite his efforts to control himself, changes in a certain part of his body made him feel as if he was on fire.
But at the same time, a tinge of loss welled up inside him because Xinan only did such things to him after she had fallen asleep.
So, even though that flame was raging through every cell in his body, he couldn’t bear to push her away.
He gritted his teeth, and his breathing became heavier.
But the next second, Xinan’s head gently approached his neck, and her warm breath blew on the back of his neck.
Cheng Yi’s entire body stiffened, and he slowly turned around, his voice low and slightly trembling, “Xinan?”
No response.
Cheng Yi tried to call out again, but this time he said, “Nannan?”
Hearing this, Xinan was shocked, her long lashes trembling slightly in the darkness. Cheng Yi had just called her Nannan? It had been a long time since she heard him call her by that name.
Just when she thought that was enough to surprise her, suddenly, she felt a warm and soft touch on her forehead.
Cheng Yi had kissed her!!!
Then the warmth spread from her forehead to her eyes, to the tip of her nose, and slowly to her lips…
