Shen Yuechuan’s attack was fierce and merciless, so Xiao Yunyun could only take clumsy breaths. Occasionally, she would find an opportunity to inexperiencedly respond to Shen Yuechuan.

  However, her response could only lead to Shen Yuechuan’s more fierce attack.

  Shen Yuechuan could feel that Xiao Yunyun was almost out of breath, but he didn’t want to let go of her hands as if he had been obsessed.

  After such a long time, he dared to say that he loved her and hold her in his arms. He didn’t want to let go of her so easily.

  “Uhh…… Shen Yuechuan……” Xiao Yunyun said in a sobbing tone and in a hoarse voice because of being suffocated.

  Shen Yuechuan noticed that she was uncomfortable, so he left her lips. The hot kiss fell on the corners of her lips and on her cheeks……

  Xiao Yunyun suddenly felt that—


  When Shen Yuechuan kissed her, something profound and intense came out of his body and melted all over the ground.

  Now it seemed to be love.

  Xiao Yunyun felt as if she had been accidentally fed a can of honey. The sweetness spread from the tip of her heart to the bottom of her heart, flowing along her blood vessels to her whole body.

  She stared at Shen Yuechuan for a while, then suddenly turned her head and kissed him on the lips. “I love you too.”


  After the offensive kissing, her lips became moister and plumper, like cherries that just got ripe on a branch. They silently lured people to taste them.

  Shen Yuechuan was tempted and lowered his head to pick the fresh cherries.

  Unlike before, Shen Yuechuan steadily and gently sucked her lips this time, as if he wanted to lead Xiao Yunyun into another warm world.

  Xiao Yunyun finally learned to breathe. She raised her head to accept Shen Yuechuan’s kiss, wantonly feeling his breath, temperature, and close contact.

  On the late autumn night, the air in City A was already pretty chilling, but the ward was so warm that it was almost able to melt chocolate.

  Xiao Yunyun felt that the kiss lasted for almost half a century. When Shen Yuechuan let go of her, she looked at him in a daze and leaned against his chest, unwilling to move.

  At this moment, Xiao Yunyun felt that nothing else was important.

  No matter how cold the weather was or how long the night was, it didn’t matter anymore. Anyway, as long as Shen Yuechuan was by her side, she was not afraid of the cold or the darkness.

  It didn’t matter that her right hand was seriously injured. Didn’t Shen Yuechuan say that her right hand could possibly be cured? As long as Shen Yuechuan was by her side, she believed that there was still hope for everything.

  It did not matter what would happen to them in the future. As long as she was with Shen Yuechuan, she could have nothing.

  Shen Yuechuan touched Xiao Yunyun’s head and said in an extremely soft and gentle voice, “It’s still early. Sleep for another while.”


  Xiao Yunyun shook her head and held Shen Yuechuan even tighter, as if she would not let go of him.

  Shen Yuechuan looked down at her while stroking her slender fingers. “What’s wrong?”


  “I don’t think I can fall asleep.” Xiao Yunyun blamed it on Shen Yuechuan. “It’s all your fault. You have to be responsible.”


  Shen Yuechuan smiled and kissed Xiao Yunyun’s forehead with his warm lips. “Okay, I’ll be responsible.”


  Not only would he be responsible for Xiao Yunyun tonight, but he would be also responsible for every moment in the rest of her life.

  Xiao Yunyun was somewhat surprised.

  In her memory, it had been a long time since Shen Yuechuan had promised her one thing so straightforward.

  She raised her head, and looked into Shen Yuechuan’s dark and deep eyes in confusion. She couldn’t help asking, “Why…… why did you always lie to me before? I had already thrown caution to the wind when I confessed my love to you. Why didn’t you dare to accept me?”


  “.……” After a long silence, Shen Yuechuan said slowly, “We’re not allowed by the ethics and laws to be together. Yunyun, I’m afraid that I’ll hurt you. Compared with the rumors, I’m even more afraid that I’ll hurt you.”


  After enduring for such a long time, Shen Yuechuan finally said it out.

  Xiao Yunyun blinked her eyes, and all the knots in her heart were unfastened.

  It turned out that Shen Yuechuan had done so for her own good.

  He was afraid that rumors would hurt her, and he was afraid that she would not be able to bear the public’s criticisms and accusations, so he overruled his heart with his head and refused to get close to her.

  He might think that as long as he refused her, she could forget him. As long as she was sent abroad, she could start a new life.

  He didn’t ask her what she wanted, but insisted on being good to her with his own logic.

  Xiao Yunyun shook her head and said seriously word by word, “Shen Yuechuan, in fact, I’m not afraid. I know what you’re worried about, but I don’t care about what others think of me.”


  “Who I like is my freedom. Even if I shouldn’t like you, what can I do since I fall in love with you? As for how those who have nothing to do with me judge my feelings, I don’t care at all. I never intend to live according to others’ wishes.”


  Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun without saying anything. His eyes became darker and thicker than the night outside the window.

  Xiao Yunyun tilted her head and asked, “What’s wrong?”


  Were her words so difficult to understand? Shen Yuechuan seemed not to understand.

  He lowered his head and kissed Xiao Yunyun. “Nothing. I just realized that I was worried too much.”


  Xiao Yunyun couldn’t help complaining, “It’s good that you know it!”


  Shen Yuechuan smiled and pressed his forehead against hers. “Have you ever thought about what we should do in the future?”


  “I’ve never thought about it.” Xiao Yunyun said frankly, “My father always says that the world is changing all the time, and that maybe one day when he opens his eyes, the world will be so different. We can make preparations for the future, but we don’t have to worry too much.”


  It was because she had been affected by Xiao Guoshan’s education that she dared to risk confessing her love to Shen Yuechuan.

  Shen Yuechuan suddenly felt that Xiao Yunyun’s words fairly made sense.

  He had been worried too much once, which led to Xiao Yunyun’s car accident. At the moment, he shouldn’t make the same mistake.

  “Okay.” Shen Yuechuan raised the corners of his mouth. “We won’t think too much about it.”


  “Yeah, but we have to keep a low profile.” Xiao Yunyun looked very excited and said, “Let’s try the secret romance!”


  “Okay,” he said and rubbed his forehead against hers, “it’s up to you.”


  “You answer me one more question—” Xiao Yunyun asked, “When did you fall in love with me?”


  “Ahem.” Shen Yuechuan looked away and let go of Xiao Yunyun, saying, “I have to go to work tomorrow……”


  “Don’t leave now!” Xiao Yunyun quickly grabbed Shen Yuechuan and rubbed herself against his chest. “Answer the questions carefully, or I won’t let you go. If you dare to leave, I’ll cry before you!”


  Xiao Yunyun was still as shameless as before, and Shen Yuechuan still had a headache as before.

  Shen Yuechuan pressed his temples hard and began to doubt if his confession just now was the right decision.

  “Tell me.” Xiao Yunyun half-threatened and half coaxed. “You have confessed that you loved me. What does it matter if you tell me when you fell in love with me? I won’t laugh at you!”


  Shen Yuechuan gritted his teeth and said, “I told you, don’t go too far.”


  Xiao Yunyun blinked her eyes and said, “Oh, I remember you said that before, but I like to push my luck!”


  Shen Yuechuan raised his eyebrows and said in a somewhat dangerous tone, “Didn’t you say you liked me?”


  Xiao Yunyun knew that Shen Yuechuan did it deliberately. He wanted to change the topic, and maybe he could find an excuse to be angry with her.

  Hehe, Shen Yuechuan was too naive. How could she be so foolish?

  Xiao Yunyun shook her head and said with a smile, “I like you ‘more’.”


  She deliberately emphasized the word “more”, which made it impossible for him to be angry with her.

  Shen Yuechuan sighed and answered her question honestly, “I don’t know.”


  Xiao Yunyun was very dissatisfied with the answer and kept asking him, “On the island? I think so!”


  She always remembered that Shen Yuechuan had kissed her on the island.

  If he didn’t like her, why would Shen Yuechuan kiss her? He couldn’t be so bored!

  Shen Yuechuan denied it and said, “It should be earlier than you think.”


  Xiao Yunyun was surprised. “So when?”


  “.…… Maybe when I first saw you.” Shen Yuechuan kissed Xiao Yunyun’s lips, blocking her questioning and pestering. “Are you satisfied with this answer, huh?”


  “Uhhh……”


  Xiao Yunyun’s lips were blocked, and she couldn’t say a complete sentence. She could only respond in an inexperienced way to show her satisfaction.

  He fell in love with her at first sight.

  The time was much earlier than she had imagined, and even better than she had imagined.

  What reason did she have to be dissatisfied with the answer?

  In the blink of an eye, it was already half past three in the morning. Shen Yuechuan reluctantly released Xiao Yunyun.

  Xiao Yunyun gasped and said, “You have to go to work tomorrow. Go to sleep.”


  “Okay.” Shen Yuechuan tousled Xiao Yunyun’s soft black hair. “Good night.”


  Xiao Yunyun grabbed his sleeve and looked at him with puppy eyes.

  Shen Yuechuan obviously didn’t understand her intention. He raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong?”


  “I let you sleep, but I didn’t let you leave and sleep.” Xiao Yunyun patted her bed. “I think this bed is more comfortable than that bed. Are you interested?”


  Shen Yuechuan’s face darkened, and he scolded, “Don’t mess around!”


  Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan innocently and said, “Hey, what are you thinking? I just want you to sleep with me. I didn’t say that you could do anything to me!”


  The blue veins on his forehead almost bulged out. “Xiao Yunyun, don’t go too far.”


  “If you sleep alone, I can’t fall asleep. I can only watch you sleep.” Xiao Yunyun said in a reasonable and aggrieved manner, “The person who goes too far is obviously you!”


  “.……” In the face of her logic, Shen Yuechuan was speechless.

  Xiao Yunyun smiled and kindly reminded him, “If you don’t sleep now, it will soon dawn.”


  Shen Yuechuan had no alternative but to lift the quilt and lie down.

  Xiao Yunyun had achieved her goal. She cheered in her heart, lay down, and rolled to Shen Yuechuan’s side like a ball.

  Shen Yuechuan warned in a deep voice, “Stay where you are.”


  Xiao Yunyun was stunned. She carefully leaned against Shen Yuechuan’s chest little by little and whispered, “How about my current position?”


  Obviously, she had achieved her goal but still complained. But Shen Yuechuan couldn’t do anything to her. He could only sigh in his heart.

  What could he do to her?

  They had already thrown caution to the wind. From now on, apart from loving her, he could do nothing to her.

  Thinking of this, for some reason, Shen Yuechuan actually felt very glad……
