The already frigid winter was made worse by the torrential rain, making it unbearably cold to go outside.
Hai Xiaotang, being the cold-hater she is, preferred to stay at home, not leaving for anything.
When Dongfang Yu suggested they take a vacation to a warmer country, she turned him down, not wanting to leave her grandfather.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She also didnât want to move in with Dongfang Yu, so their only choice was to leave the house every day for their dates.
Early in the morning, Hai Xiaotang wrapped herself up tightly in warm clothes, armed with her fluffy white scarf, and set off with Dongfang Yu.
Once in the car, she shivered slightly as she felt the warmth from the heater.
But she smiled sweetly.
Each time Dongfang Yu came to pick her up, he would have the car heater running so that she could immediately feel the warmth after boarding.
âThis is for you,â Dongfang Yu suddenly took out a bouquet of roses and offered them to her.
Every day, he would give her a bouquet.
Hai Xiaotang was always happy to receive them and never found it tiresome. Accepting the roses, she leaned over to give him a customary kiss on the cheek.
Dongfang Yu, unsatisfied, cupped her face to plant a deep kiss on her lips before finally releasing her.
And each time they kissed, Hai Xiaotangâs heart would race and her cheeks would flush.
Seeing her shy manner, Dongfang Yuâs gaze darkened and he swept down for another kiss!
Today, for some reason, he felt like he couldnât get enough of her, kissing her again and againâ¦
Hai Xiaotang, panting slightly, pushed him away and jokingly said, âArenât we going? If you keep dawdling, we might as well turn back and have lunch.â
Dongfang Yu smiled slightly, âI donât want to go anymore. I just want to kiss you forever.â
Hai Xiaotangâs dark eyes appeared even more bashful, âEnough, letâs get going. Youâre so cheesy all the timeâ¦â
She felt a bit overwhelmed.
Dongfang Yu held her hand tightly, suddenly asking solemnly, âHai Xiaotang, do you know how much I love you?â
Hai Xiaotang was slightly taken aback, why was he suddenly saying this?
Looking at his focused gaze, she had no choice but to nod in agreement, âAlright, I know. In fact, Iâve become quite narcissistic recently.â âNarcissistic?â Dongfang Yu was confused.
Hai Xiaotang laughed, âWith your love for me, itâs impossible not to be narcissistic.â
Dongfang Yu started laughing too. It was only after they got together that he realized that she was a very witty girl.
She always had a playful yet gentle touch in everything she did and said.
But he really liked it, he liked it a lot!
Dongfang Yu looked at her deeply, yet again unable to resist the urge to kiss herâ¦
Hai Xiaotang, fed up, laughed heartily, âAlright, you really do intend to hang around until lunch before leaving, huh?â
âJust once!â Dongfang Yu requested.
âNo way, hurry up and drive, or I am heading back. Quickly, weâve been stalling for too long. People will laugh at us!â Hai Xiaotang shoved him away and urged him to get going.
Dongfang Yu laughed helplessly and started the car reluctantly.
The car quickly pulled off, Hai Xiaotang asked casually, âWhat are we doing today? Arenât you busy?â
âLetâs go get a marriage license!â Dongfang Yu suddenly suggested.
Hai Xiaotang was stunned. âAre you joking?â
âNo, weâre leaving right now!â Dongfang Yu was very serious, his handsome features tense and resolute.
Hai Xiaotang shook her head in refusal, âNo. Didnât I say, I wonât marry until after I graduate.â
âI canât wait any longer, letâs go today, okay?â Dongfang Yu continued to coax her, yet Hai Xiaotang wouldnât budge.
She was adamant. She wouldnât marry before she finished university.
To be precise, she wouldnât hastily step into marriage again before she learned to be completely independent.
