When the first ray of morning light shone into the room, the two were still asleep.
About half an hour later, one of them woke up, opening her eyes.
Seeing her beloved so close, she couldn’t resist reaching out to gently touch Fang Zhou’s face.
This face was truly perfect, not only with a young man’s sharpness but also with a young adult’s calmness and steadiness.
No wonder they say to find a handso boyfriend; waking up to this face every day would certainly put you in a good mood.
Chu Xinran, with her not yet fully awake brain, thought if she could wake up like this every day, she would surely be the happiest person in the world.
Fang Zhou was still drowsy, imrsed in his dream.
He dreamt that a mischievous cat had entered his ho, jumping around and causing chaos. Now, the cat had even climbed on top of him.
Instinctively, Fang Zhou reached out to shoo it away, but ended up hitting a hand, causing so pain to himself as well.
Opening his eyes, he saw Chu Xinran looking at him with a grievance, her big eyes misty, as if soone had bullied her.
“Why are you awake? Did you have a nightmare?”
Fang Zhou was puzzled, thinking she had a nightmare.
After all, she had ntioned having nightmares recently, so maybe she woke up scared.
Chu Xinran pouted, lifting her hand to show him, and said pitifully, “It hurts.”
Fang Zhou looked closely and saw a red mark on her fair wrist, as if soone had slapped it.
He was stunned for a mont—did he hit her?
He missed the mischievous cat and hit Chu Xinran instead?
A pang of guilt and embarrassnt flashed in his eyes, and he quickly apologized.
“Sorry, I was dreaming and accidentally hit you.”
Then he offered a redy.
“Let rub it for you.”
Chu Xinran humd a few tis, extending her hand, feeling the gentle pressure on her soft flesh, then said, “This ti you hit my hand. Next ti, are you going to hit my face?”
It was just a joke.
Chu Xinran knew Fang Zhou wouldn’t hit people; she was just teasing him.
Fang Zhou was shocked, quickly shaking his head.
“No, no, I would never hit you.”
Besides, there’s no real chance we’ll beco a family.
Chu Xinran humd again, moving closer and hugging Fang Zhou tightly.
She rested her head on his shoulder, kissing his cheek like a bird pecking at grains.
This light touch made Fang Zhou feel a bit ticklish, and he couldn’t help but get a mischievous idea.
“I haven’t washed my face yet.”
“Neither have I.”
Chu Xinran didn’t mind, snuggling closer.
They’re boyfriend and girlfriend, so why care about such things?
Moreover, loving soone ans loving all of them.
Fang Zhou’s face, even just waking up, looked like a perfect sculpture.
Fang Zhou raised an eyebrow, speaking in a low voice, “Really?”
“How about this then?”
With that, he leaned in, rubbing his stubble against Chu Xinran’s face.
Sure enough, she shrieked and tried to escape.
“Ah! No, it tickles!”
One chasing, one dodging, they played like children, the joy filling every corner of the room.
About ten minutes later, they finally tired out, collapsing onto the bed.
Chu Xinran nestled in Fang Zhou’s arms, whispering, “I feel so happy, Brother Fang Zhou .”
The girl’s whisper was like a breeze blowing into Fang Zhou’s heart, light yet powerful, softening even the hardest parts of his heart.
Happiness can be mutually felt.
Actually, wasn’t Fang Zhou feeling the sa?
These past two days felt like he was truly dating Chu Xinran, playing the role of boyfriend, re-experiencing the sweetness of love.
No wonder people find love so addictive; even soone like him, who’s had several girlfriends, found it hard to resist.
Fang Zhou silently reinforced his ntal defenses.
Don’t get soft-hearted; this is temporary.
After today, their relationship will return to normal.
Although Fang Zhou couldn’t bring himself to say ‘let’s not see each other again,’ he still needed to help Chu Xinran with her psychological treatnt.
After all, saving a life is a noble act.
“Let’s sleep a bit more; we’ll go out later.”
Fang Zhou patted Chu Xinran’s shoulder, telling her to rest.
“Where are we going?”
Chu Xinran’s eyes lit up, filled with anticipation.
Being with Fang Zhou, anything was fun, but knowing in advance made it even more exciting!
“Where do you want to go? You decide today.”
Fang Zhou smiled.
It’s the last day; let her choose.
“Can we go to school?”
Chu Xinran sat up excitedly, her eyes sparkling, looking like a small animal, making his heart soften.
“Yesterday, you ntioned wanting to eat school’s rice rolls. Let’s go now!”
Fang Zhou was a bit taken aback, not expecting her to want to go back to school.
School... might bring trouble if seen.
Seeing his hesitation, Chu Xinran started shaking his arm.
“Co on, let’s go! Didn’t you say I could decide?”
Fang Zhou sighed inwardly, finally agreeing.
They didn’t go back to sleep, getting up early and driving an hour to Chu Xinran’s school.
It was also Fang Zhou’s alma mater.
Back at a familiar place, Fang Zhou felt a bit dazed.
Chu Xinran pulled him into their favorite rice roll shop, and the owner recognized him.
“Hey, young man! Long ti no see! Bringing your girlfriend for a visit?”
The owner warmly took the nu, chatting with Fang Zhou.
Fang Zhou didn’t expect the owner to rember him, feeling warm inside.
The timing was perfect, not many people were there for breakfast, so the owner had ti to talk.
“Yes, we’ll have one shrimp and egg roll and one at and egg roll.”
Fang Zhou smiled, handing back the nu.
His answer pleased Chu Xinran, who smiled as they sat down, her heart full of sweetness.
So nearby students turned to see what was going on.
Seeing Chu Xinran, their eyes lit up—wasn’t she their school’s beauty?
Then they saw her holding a man’s hand, looking very close, and their hearts broke.
When did the goddess get a boyfriend?
And wasn’t she on that dating show?
Who was this guy? He looked quite handso.
Sure enough, dating shows are scripted! Not trustworthy!
This student didn’t watch the dating show, so he didn’t recognize Fang Zhou.
But it didn’t stop him from taking out his phone and posting on the school forum.
‘Heartbroken, guys. The school beauty is dating!’
