Song Zhou tugged at his towel and regretted not putting on a bathrobe. The tips of his ears were burning.

“Miss Ruan, go back to the guest room and rest. I don’t need your help here.”

“Come on, let’s talk before we go to bed. What are you afraid of? You’re not well yet, so I won’t do anything to you.”

Song Zhou went to get his bathrobe. He put on his bathrobe, tied the belt around his waist before he removed the towel. He folded the towel, put it aside before he sat on the bed and looked at her.

The girl’s eyes were bright and smiling, the corners of her mouth were curled up in a slightly mean but cute smile.

“What do you want to talk about?”

Ruan Qi jumped onto the bed and lay belly down next to him with a smile. She swung her legs in a relaxed manner but what said surprised Song Zhou.

“Mr. Song, let’s move in together.”

“Cohabitation before marriage?”

Ruan Qi replied seriously, “Cohabitation before marriage allows us to understand each other’s living habits so we can adapt.”

“You are not joking?”

Song Zhou’s heart was vibrating like the strings of an ancient zither after they had been plucked.

Of course, he would love to move in with Ruan Qi, but he had his reservations.

“You risked your life for me, and 1 give myself to you in return. Your dream has come true. Is that good?”

She was referring to the dance he had performed before in which he played the dreamer. If the two of them got married, it would really be a dream come true.

“Miss Ruan, you have to think about marriage carefully. It’s not that simple.” He was trying to explain to her that keeping a reasonable distance from her would prevent him from losing control.

“How complicated can it be?”

“At the very least, we should get your parents’ blessings. Also, I haven’t proposed.”

“It’s okay. I don’t care about these things.” Ruan Qi let out a casual and hearty laugh.

“How can we not do these things? These are the girl’s privileges and the respect the man has for his woman. We must do these things, Miss Ruan.”

Ruan Qi frowned and sat up cross-legged. She looked at him unhappily and asked, “Do you think that I’m being cheap and frivolous for giving myself to you?”

“No, hiss…” Song Zhou wanted to explain that he didn’t mean that at all. He was more than happy that she wanted to marry him.

It was just that he had moved too abruptly just now and pulled the wound on his lower back. He sucked in a breath of cold air and froze.

Ruan Qi anxiously helped him lie down. “Fine. If you’re unwilling, then I won’t talk about it anymore.”

Song Zhou grabbed her nervously. “No, I’m not unwilling. Miss Ruan, I like it very much.”

“What do you like?”

Ruan Qi’s smile was bright, and it carried a sense of freedom.

“Why are you suddenly so reserved? You’ve told me words along the lines of you love me.”

Song Zhou paused for a few seconds, then raised his hands to gently combed her messy hair.

His breath was very gentle, like a breeze blowing over a calm lake.

“Yes, I love you.”

Although the breeze was light, it still stirred up ripples.

Delicate ripples unfurled and radiated outward.

Ruan Qi excitedly burrowed under the blanket. She covered her face with it for a while before she popped her head out.

She had to confirm what she had heard and reminded Song Zhou with a serious expression, “So, we agreed to move in together…”

It was a dark winter night with wind whistling outside the windows, but Song Zhou’s room was as warm as spring.

The ceiling lights were like seeds planted in spring. They took root and grew into vibrant saplings, bursting with life and vitality. The plants stood tall and proud, enveloping the two of them and their leaves swayed with their every breath.

“I don’t mind moving in together, but I’m afraid you’ll regret it.”

His voice was very soft, like he was afraid that he would startle the blossoming flower bud on a branch.

She was the flower that bloomed in his heart.

“What do 1 have to regret? Although I, Ruan Qi, am limited in my abilities, 1 will definitely treat you well.”

She sounded like someone who knew how to take care of others and could shoulder the responsibilities of having a family.

Song Zhou was amused. The corners of his mouth curled up into a warm smile and he looked at her with an even gentler gaze.

Then, he heard the girl say with a smile, “Song Zhou, when did you start liking me?”

“I don’t know.”

“Huh? You don’t even know when you start liking me?”

“Then, when did you start liking me?”

Ruan Qi laughed and teased, “I found you quite interesting when you pretended to be a gentleman.”

“When have I ever pretended?”

He never thought of himself as a gentleman.

It was his normal behavior to keep this distance from others.

“Is that so? What were you doing when you pretended to keep a distance from me, but secretly have feelings for me? If I didn’t pursue you, you definitely wouldn’t take the initiative.”

Song Zhou pursed his lips. He was indeed a little slow when it came to matters of the heart and not the proactive sort of person.

If she hadn’t taken the initiative, he really wouldn’t have opened his mouth.

He moved closer to her and looked into her eyes. Seeing that she did not avoid him, his heart surged, and he lowered his head to kiss her.

His warm breath was very shallow, but it was like a warm breeze blowing on her face.

Ruan Qi’s words were very flirtatious, but she was still quite shy when it came to actions.

However, she did not back down. She obediently put her hands on his shoulders and chuckled.

“What’s so funny?” Song Zhou stopped and asked curiously.

“A certain someone clearly can’t wait to move in with me, but he’s too embarrassed to ask me and waited for me to ask him. Are you happy kissing me?”

Song Zhou sighed softly. This girl looked reckless, but her thoughts were meticulous.

“Happy!”

“Holding you makes me feel like I own the world.”

Ruan Qi smiled widely. “You have my world now, Mr. Song. Please get better soon.”

Song Zhou’s face turned red from the flirting and moved away from her. “Miss Ruan, it’s very dangerous for you to flirt with a man like this.”

“Are you in danger, or am I?”

The next morning, Song Zhou woke up and was that the woman had rolled into his arms with one leg over his body. No wonder he felt uncomfortable.

He tried to move away but the woman was unhappy. She grabbed his arm and snuggled into his arms.

Song Zhou lowered his head and looked at her. She looked quite demure when she was asleep.

He endured it for a while, but the heat was unbearable. He pushed her away, and the woman rolled to her side. He quickly got out of bed.

By the time Ruan Qi woke up, it was already ten o’clock. She yawned as she walked out of the room. Tang Beibei was sitting in the living room, looking at her. She waved her hand in greeting.

“Morning, Beibei.”

Tang Beibei was surprised. “Qiqi, you, why did you come out of Song Zhou’s room?”

“I slept in his room last night.”

Of course, she knew who she was in Song Zhou’s room. What she wanted to know was whether they were living together already…

Jiang Jingchen looked at his slow-witted wife. Sigh. Luckily, they were already married.

If he were to date her according to the usual procedures, he wouldn’t be able to touch her for a few years.

“Now that we’re all living together, it’s normal for us to sleep together.”

“But you are not engaged yet. Besides, Song Zhou’s engagement hasn’t been canceled yet, right?”

H ii

Ruan Qi instantly sobered up and turned to look at Song Zhou nervously.

Song Zhou quickly said, “The engagement will be canceled after the new year. Young Master can be my witness.”

Jiang Jingchen glanced at him casually, his eyes as cold as a blade. “If he dares to disappoint Ruan Qi, I’ll break his legs and leave him for dead!”

“No, it’s not that serious. It’s definitely best if you can cancel it.” Ruan Qi said.

Song Zhou wheeled himself up to Ruan Qi. “Ruan Qi, don’t think too much. I will definitely call off the engagement. I, Song Zhou, will never let you down in this lifetime.”

Ruan Qi believed in Song Zhou’s character. He had said that he would protect her and risk his life for her if she was in danger.

She was already very happy to have such a man love her.

As for the future… n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I don’t want to wait until after graduation. After you break off your engagement, we’ll pick a date to hold our wedding. We don’t need to invite too many guests, just a few close friends.”

“As you wish.”

Song Zhou held her hand tightly..
