By the ti he returned to his dormitory at Block 7, the biting cold breeze had finally cald him down. He was no longer that excited, agitated nor intoxicated.

When his mind was finally clear, he suddenly started to worry. Would Yan Zheke find that they were advancing too fast? Would she be unable to accept such rapid advancent and psychologically reject this relationship? Or would she feel that he’s too impatient and misunderstood him as a guy who only focused on carnal desire, but not true passion?

He had thought of these questions before. His plan for the first kiss was to test the waters, yet when he achieved it, he started to worry about his gains and losses. He was afraid that he would destroy his own image in the girl’s heart.

But he really could not control himself at that ti...Furthermore, the girl in front of him was not just any other girl, but soone he loved a lot. When she looked at him shyly and revealed a seductive look, he just could not control his desires...

Lou Cheng sat at a corner of a flower bed and allowed the chilly breeze to blow against him. He took out his phone, and started wondering if he should apologize to Yan Zheke.

Nah, apologizing after a kiss would be too irresponsible as a man. This would make the girl think that the guy only wanted to take advantage of her...

Yup, I need to show her that I’m a responsible man with a pleasant attitude, and that I want to treat her better...

Even though there were many discussions on topics like “Won shouldn’t get married”, “n shouldn’t trust won” and “One night stand is the new norm” all over the internet, Lou Cheng figured that he was a conservative man. Since he had not gone through too many sufferings in the society, and since he had held her hands and kissed her lips, he felt that he should be responsible for her for life.

While his thoughts were running deep, his phone beeped and showed a notification from QQ. Yan Zheke was “pissed” and replied to his previous smiley emoji: “I’m not going to talk to a pervert!”

Seeing such reply, rather than being surprised, Lou Cheng was pleased. He noticed that his girl was shy and not mad at him.

He heaved a sigh of relief and “looked pitiful” as he replied: “I just couldn’t control at that mont.”

“At that mont?” Yan Zheke questioned and followed up with a “rolled eyes” emoji. “Humph, now that I think back, I feel that all these were part of a plan! Be honest, did you already have those bad thoughts when you asked out for a stroll by the lake?”

“You can even see through this? Lou Cheng blushed and felt guilty. Fortunately, the girl was not beside him now.

He considered for a mont and decided to be honest with her. He confessed his thoughts to the girl, without hiding anything from her.

“Yes... Not only did I thought of kissing you when we were by the lake, I felt like kissing you when we were in the cinema as well. However you were too focused on the movie so I didn’t bear to interrupt, and I didn’t manage to get a chance after that... I guess guys tend to be more impulsive and anxious about such things. I keep thinking of getting closer to you. Moreover, you did ntion you need more ti to get used to having one more person in your life before accepting my confession. You also said you had not reached the stage of being crazy about , didn’t you?”

“I’m not trying to pressurize you, but I’m afraid that you’d leave soday, and tell that we should just be friends. Thus I want to get more assurance and more confirmation from you...”

After typing the reply from the bottom of his heart, he corrected so words to ensure that they accurately described how he truly felt.

He would always rember what Ming told him: In relationships, honesty is better than hiding secrets, and communication is better than cold wars.

After sending out the reply, Yan Zheke kept silent for a while before she replied.

“Fool...”

“Fool?” Lou Cheng was initially confused, then he realized what the girl actually ant.

Fool! If I’m not used or not prepared, do you think I’d let you kiss without pushing you away?

Fool! Do you need to say it out that I like you before you can understand?

Fool! Stop filling your head with nonsense!

Lou Cheng was surprised and happy as he felt that he could understand what his girl was thinking. He hurriedly replied, “Yes, I’m a fool, a big fool! It’s obvious that our relationship is getting better, yet I still worried about losing you and couldn’t trust myself...”

“Humph, glad you understand.” Yan Zheke used a “face palm” emoji and she added, “I’ll forgive you this ti round, Big Pervert. You’d better not anyhow kiss next ti!”

“Eh, does that an I can kiss her as long as I don’t anyhow kiss?” Lou Cheng chuckled. He was feeling was much more assured now. He imdiately replied, “Sure sure sure, definitely will not anyhow!”

After they chatted for a while as well as confird the ti and venue for tomorrow’s treat with her dorm mates, Yan Zheke hurriedly rushed Lou Cheng to wash up as it was almost 10.30 p.m. She did not want him to sleep late and affect his morning training the next day.

While Lou Cheng whistled a tune on his way back to the dormitory, he was mocked by Cai Zongming as “Lecher riding on the crest of success” when he revealed his ground floor face.

After he was done with the wash-up, he went to his bed and was ready to send Yan Zheke a goodnight ssage when he noticed that she had sent him three voice ssages a few minutes ago.

“Eh?” Lou Cheng felt doubtful as he opened the voice ssages and placed his phone near his ear, switching it to listening mode.

“Hais, Cheng, be my rubbish bin for a while. Just listen and don’t reply.”

Yan Zheke’s soft clear voice was heard from the phone.

Her surrounding sounded pretty quiet and spacious, with so sound of the blowing wind.

“She’s on the balcony...” Lou Cheng was certain about his judgnt, as he continued to listen to the ssages.

“I’m terrified. When I gave up on resisting and chose to accept it, I felt really uneasy about my future...”

“Cheng, can we last? Are we able to hold on to each other’s hand to withstand all the struggles and tests till we get old and sick, and still rely on each other?”

“I’m afraid. I’m afraid that if I give it my all and put my true feelings to this relationship, I’ll end up being defeated by reality and I’ve to watch you leaving painfully. If that’s the case, my heart will ache badly, so badly that I could just die...”

“They always say that first love never lasts. I’m very worried. I’m worried that one day the person I marry isn’t you. That’ll be such a nightmare...”

“Alright, I’m done pouring out these negative thoughts... I never had such nonsense thoughts or worries. It’s all because of you!”

Lou Cheng listened to her words quietly. Whatever random conversations going on in his room could no longer be heard. His heart and mind were clear as he started to tear.

He took a breath and without heeding to Yan Zheke’s instruction, he replied,

“I’m afraid as well, and I’m also fearful of how the future will be like. However, if we don’t even dare to take the risk, then wouldn’t we miss each other? Risk it and work hard on it, then there’ll definitely be hope!”

“I work hard on practicing martial arts and strengthening myself, so that I could get hold of my own destiny to seize that opportunity and hope in life.”

“Even though I’m too young to say all these, but I’m going to say this. I’m confident with myself, and I’m confident with what I like. You’re my destiny.”

After a while, Yan Zheke sent him a scolding emoji and replied,

“Thought I told you not to reply!”

“Go sleep, Pervert!”

Lou Cheng grinned and imdiately replied, “Goodnight!”

“Goodnight, see you tomorrow~!” Yan Zheke seed to have forgotten the awkward confessions and replies exchanged monts ago.

“See you everyday!” After sending this ssage, Lou Cheng patiently waited. He had a feeling that the girl would reply him sothing special.

He waited for 10 minutes before he finally saw a new ssage from Yan Zheke.

“Yes, I’ll work hard as well...”

He seriously stared at this ssage for a few minutes, before he revealed a smile and went to sleep.

...

The next day, he woke up early as usual for his morning training. He then went for the special training, bathed and changed before running to the entrance of the female changing room to wait for Yan Zheke.

The weather was unexpectedly cold today, and Yan Zheke wore a thick outer jacket that made her look like a cute teddy bear. The mont she saw Lou Cheng, she pretended to be annoyed and turned her head to another direction as she retorted. “Pervert! Big pervert!”

Lou Cheng kept quiet and laughed. He then used his left hand to hold her lean hand. “Yes yes yes, I’m your pervert, exclusive to you only!”

“What kind of description is that?” Yan Zheke had never thought that Lou Cheng could be that thick-skinned and was speechless for a mont. She imdiately changed a topic and said, “Let give you a heads-up about my two dorm mates. One is nad Le Liantong, who we often called her Dirty Tong...”

While they were happily chatting and joking, both of them left the martial arts arena and walked towards the crowd at the school building. They decided to pass by the building, crossed the long bridge, walked along to pedestrian walkway at the dormitory area and finally et Zong Yanru and the others at the Academy Cafeteria.

On their way, Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke noticed a big group of people gathered in front of them, and all of them seed to be looking at the roof of a building. Out of curiosity, they joined the group and were shocked to realize an unknown man was standing outside of the seventh-floor window, staring towards the groundfloor.

“Soone’s going to jump!” Yan Zheke said with a trembling voice and held on to Lou Cheng tightly.

This was her first ti seeing such incident.

Before Songcheng University opened its new school campus area, about one to two students were jumping off the building every year. After moving to the new area, there were no more of such incidents for almost half a year. In fact, soone said that the principal had sighed with relief and said that the Feng Shui was much better here. Never did he expect that soone was going to make the first jump today...

Lou Cheng’s mood had changed instantly. He took a breath and said to Yan Zheke, “You stay away. I’ll go over to take a closer look.”

“Alright, be careful.” Yan Zheke understood what Lou Cheng was thinking, so she urged him.

Just as Lou Cheng was getting closer, the man’s face turned pale as he smiled and decided to plunge down.

“Damn it...” Lou Cheng cursed softly as he channeled his energy to his feet before leaping forward. He leaped to the right position based on his judgnt and without caring much about his injury on his right arm, he extended his arms in the midst of all the screaming.

Bam! Lou Cheng managed to catch the suicidal man. The mont he grabbed the man, his feet suddenly sank, causing cracks to appear on the cent ground where he stood. Yan Zheke looked upon them worriedly.

There was a strong rebound. He forcefully straightened his back, sank both his arms, and withdrew an inch before he jerked both of them outwards.

This caused the man who had plunged down from the building to be tossed out and onto the ground not far away. The man was filled with fear and bewildernt as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.

Lou Cheng exhaled. He felt that his sports shoes were about to split, and the injury on his right arm seem to have aggravated.

But no matter what, all these were not as important as a human’s life.

As he noticed that the teachers and security guards were joining the crowd, as well as the over-lookers were shockingly staring at the man and himself, Lou Cheng shouted,

“What is there to be afraid of, since you’re not even afraid of death?”

He then turned around, walked off and joined Yan Zheke outside the second school building. This incident had secretly given him fa and honor.
