Shen Peichuan’s expression was unfathomable. He gazed at the girl standing in front of him from time to time. She had a pale face with big bright eyes filled with steely resolve. She looked a little mature for her age. How could I bear to force her?
Slowly, his arms relaxed. Sang Yu wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a deep kiss.
Shen Peichuan looked down at her in shock. The kiss caught him by surprise and he froze on the spot.
Sang Yu wasn’t disappointed by his lack of reaction. Instead, she deepened the kiss. He is so cute and silly, even a little naive.
Shen Peichuan was aroused by the ferocity that Sang Yu was kissing him with. He suddenly wrapped his arms around her petite body and kissed her back fervently.
After a while, Sang Yu released him from her hold. Her lips had turned slightly pink. She blinked and cleared her throat and asked, “I would never regret my decision. I love you. You are so foolish to believe everything I say. Didn’t you know I was just lying to you? Let me tell you this: I will never ever regret being with you.”
Shen Peichuan gazed at her sincere expression. His heart immediately fluttered involuntarily and was beating at an irregular rhythm.
He wanted to express his love for her but didn’t want to be too mushy. Hence, he remained silent as he swept his gaze over her.
He closed his eyes and muttered, “I will never betray your trust in me. Thank you for believing in me, Sang Yu.”
I can’t believe he didn’t tell me that he loves me! Instead, he thanked me for trusting him? How is that possible?
She sniffled and said, “I was about to cry but now you make me want to break out in laughter.”
Shen Peichuan kept his face straight and queried, “Don’t you agree with what I said?”
Did I upset her by saying something wrong?
She shook her head and replied, “What you said was fine. I’m so touched by it.”
He furrowed his brows in confusion and asked, “You just said you wanted to burst out laughing. I don’t believe you when you say you are touched. Do you take me for a fool?”
“Of course not. I just think that you aren’t very smart,” she responded. With that, she ran into the room, plopped herself on the bed, and wrapped the blanket around her.
When he saw her bundled up in bed, his lips curved into a smile and he slowly walked in. As he sat beside the bed and removed the blanket, she gazed at him.
He caressed her face. She looked as beautiful and mesmerizing as a flower in full bloom.
His heart beat rapidly and he placed a light kiss on her forehead. His eyes were closed and he could smell the faint fragrance of her shampoo. I don’t want to leave.
“Sang Yu,” he called.
“Yes?” she replied softly.
He stood up and said, “Go to sleep.”
“I want you to sleep with me,” she said as she moved to the side of the bed.
Shen Peichuan agreed and lay down next to her.
A ray of light glared through the windows and lit up the room. “Are you hot?” she asked.
He nodded, “Yes, it’s warm in here.”
The type of heat he felt wasn’t from the sun but from the passion between the two of them.
She got up and turned on the fan situated on the bedside table before returning to bed. “Are you still feeling warm?” she asked.
“Not anymore,” he replied and shook his head.
She held his hand and faced him. “Stay with me for a few more days, please,” she pleaded.
“Alright,” he answered without much thought.
“You replied so quickly. Aren’t you going to think about it?” she asked as she gazed at him.
“There’s no need to consider,” he stated.
She laughed and pulled his arm around herself. As she cuddled his arm, she said, “I want you to hug me to sleep.”
He froze and lay still on the bed. Although he took a while to warm up to her, he couldn’t control his physical needs when he was so close to her.
She knew what he was thinking about and felt that he was extremely attractive. She bit her lips and asked, “Are you afraid I’m going to become very clingy?”
He didn’t reply. She is still a young girl. ”What did you say?” he asked after a while.
“Nothing. Let’s go to sleep,” she sighed and hugged his elbow, leaving a small gap between them. She wasn’t chastising him for not wanting to engage in pre-marital sex. In fact, she didn’t feel ready for it, either.
It was a calm night. Both of them closed their eyes and slowly drifted to sleep.
In the morning, Sang Yu was the first to wake up. Shen Peichuan had promised to spend more time with her so she needed to inform the chancellor that she would be missing class. Afterward, she would accompany him on a shopping trip for clean clothes.
She brought out the watermelon that they had wanted to eat yesterday and scooped out some porridge.
She had not finished the eggs that Wang Haonan gave her. In fact, most of the food at home had been gifted to her by her students.
The eggs were organic and produced locally.
She decided to cook two eggs for Shen Peichuan, since he was injured. She also thought of buying some tonic for him later.
As she had lived alone for a long period of time, she had learned how to do most of the housework and cook a decent meal.
As she was pouring water, someone appeared in front of her.
In that moment, she froze on the spot.
