  Yu Bao’er dazedly replied with an “Mm”, but her body didn’t move.

  Her voice was like that of a wheedling kitten’s, bumping against the depth of Huo Yingcheng’s heart. It made his heart throb like never before.

  In the past, he kept mocking Helian Niancheng. But now that he had fallen in love did he finally realized what it felt like.

  A man in his thirties, it was only now that he experienced the melodramatic-ness of love.

  It wasn’t that Huo Yingcheng had never dated women before. But he didn’t have many opportunities while he was in the army. Due to his identity, women most often were submissive towards him. There had never been a girl like Yu Bao’er in his life before. Gu Qingjiu and Yu Bao’er were considered special among the girls he had met.

  However, they were different in that Gu Qingjiu was calm whereas Yu Bao’er was wild.

  Yet when she showed her docile side, he couldn’t help but adore her.

  Huo Yingcheng lifted Yu Bao’er and placed her on the bed.

  Yu Bao’er’s bed was a standard single bed. At the time of purchase, she had only considered herself.

  But it was impossible to ask him to sleep on the sofa now.

  He squeezed beside Yu Bao’er, making the cramped bed appear all the more so. However, as Yu Bao’er was soundly asleep, feeling a source of warmth, she automatically turned around and clung to Huo Yingcheng, holding him tightly with all four limbs.

  The woman in his arms was soft and gave off a fragrance.

  Under such circumstances, Huo Yingcheng was impressed with himself for not getting a reaction. He merely felt it heart-warming.

  He patted twice on Yu Bao’er’s back. Now that the two of them were hugging together, it wasn’t as squeezy anymore. But the bed was still a tad too short, resulting in him sticking his legs outside of the bed.

  Huo Yingcheng felt that it was still tolerable, so he turned off the lights and fell asleep with Yu Bao’er in his arms.

  Yu Bao’er had to go to work the next day, thus she set a morning alarm, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to wake up on her own.

  When her phone alarm abruptly rang, Yu Bao’er was startled awake.

  She was still plagued by intense sleepiness, but she was starting to sober up.

  Feeling around, she realized she was hugging something.

  When she opened her eyes, she found Huo Yingcheng staring at her.

  Yu Bao’er didn’t panic either. She rubbed her eyes and stretched lazily, then said with a raspy morning voice, “Why are you sleeping here?”


  Huo Yingcheng reached out to pull Yu Bao’er back into his arms and said, “Where else? It’s impossible for me to sleep on the sofa.”


  His voice sounded more awake. Sounds like he had been awake for a long time.

  Indeed. Due to his army training, waking up early was already instilled in him. He merely laid in bed for an hour longer in order not to wake Yu Bao’er up.

  “Mm.”


  Yu Bao’er started wheedling with her arms wrapped around Huo Yingcheng. “I don’t want to go to work!”


  Huo Yingcheng caressed her hair. “Don’t go then. It’s not like I can’t afford to raise you. You can choose not to work and just stay at home.”


  “Who’s asking you to do that! Shameless!”


  Yu Bao’er smacked him, then reluctantly struggled to get out of bed. She arched her back, then laid face-down on her pillow, doubting life for a while.

  Huo Yingcheng suddenly let out an evil chuckle and patted Yu Bao’er’s butt. “This posture of yours. Why? You want to exercise early in the morning?”


  Yu Bao’er instantly got his meaning and straightened her body. She then picked up a pillow to cover Huo Yingcheng’s face. “What nonsense are you talking about?”


  Huo Yingcheng reached out his arms to hug Yu Bao’er, making her laugh out loud.
