In front of her, Lu Jue was like an ignorant puppy who wanted to monopolize the thing he liked and had been waiting for a long time.

Lu Jue raised his and Ningzhi's hands, which were tied together, for Ningzhi to see.

Ningzhi was slightly stunned, then she smiled. Lu Jue didn't know what it meant to like her. He was just used to her existence and wanted to keep her by his side.

She smiled indulgently. "Yes, it's yours."

She used her other hand to tug at the colorful ribbon. It wasn't tied very firmly, but it couldn't be easily broken free.

Earlier at school, in order to help Lu Jue pick up his school bag, she had used up a small sun in exchange for a minute of physical contact.

That was why she could open the door and be tied up by Lu Jue.

Overlord had said that time could be stacked. A total of one minute was enough. In other words, in half a minute, the ribbon wouldn't be able to bind her anymore.

Ningzhi wanted to know how Lu Jue would react later.

Sure enough, not long after, the colorful ribbon tied to Ningzhi and Lu Jue's hands passed through Ningzhi's hand and hung loosely on Lu Jue's hand.

Lu Jue's dark eyes were blank. He untied the colorful ribbon and clumsily tied Ningzhi's hand again.

However, after a few attempts, the ribbon passed through Ningzhi's hand.

Lu Jue looked up at her as if asking why.

Ningzhi didn't know how to explain. She thought for a moment before saying, "Xiaojue, only you can touch me and see me. Didn't you say that I'm yours?

Other people can't see me, and other things can't touch me. "

After a while, Lu Jue lowered his head, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from his throat. "I want to tie you up."

Ningzhi could only say, "Even if you don't tie him up, he's still yours."

Lu Jue lifted his head and looked at Ningzhi quietly. Then, his thin lips curved slightly and a shallow dimple appeared on his face. "Mine."

It had to be said that Lu Jue was still young and easy to coax.

At night, Ningzhi went downstairs while Lu Jue was taking a shower.

Mother Lu hadn't returned to her room to rest yet. She was saying something to the housekeeper. Ningzhi walked over.

"The day after tomorrow is Xiaojue's birthday cake. Tell the kitchen to prepare it in advance. Also, make all the dishes that Xiaojue likes to eat. Around the living room, get people to install beautiful colored lights and hang up bright colored decorations." Mother Lu carefully instructed, for fear of missing anything.

Ningzhi stood to the side, a little surprised. The day after tomorrow was Lu Jue's birthday?

The housekeeper replied, "Yes, Madam. I'll make the preparations."

"Alright." Mother Lu believed in the housekeeper's abilities.

Given the Lu Family's wealth and power, Lu Jue was the young master of the Lu Family. His birthday should be a grand celebration. However, it was a pity that he didn't like crowded environments.

Ever since he was young, his birthdays had always been celebrated at the Lu Family and no outsiders were invited.

Therefore, Mother Lu could only put in more effort to decorate during the celebration.

Ningzhi returned to her room. She had already used up the one minute to touch the object and could only pass through the door.

As soon as she entered, she saw Lu Jue standing in the room. He was wearing red pajamas, and his hair was wet. Water droplets kept dripping down.

His dark eyes were moist and dazed. When he saw that Ningzhi had suddenly returned, he strode over to her and grabbed her slender wrist. "Where did you go?"

"I just came downstairs. What's wrong?" Ningzhi could feel his panic as he gripped her wrist tightly.

Lu Jue pursed his lips. Water droplets kept dripping down his short hair and his collar.

"I won't leave now." Ningzhi consoled him. "Don't be afraid. I'll tell you before I disappear. I won't leave without saying goodbye."

Lu Jue lowered his eyes and didn't reply.

"Hurry and dry your hair. Your clothes are wet."
