Any sentence from Qiao Jiusheng could make Fang Yusheng crazy.

  He leaned against her, his body steaming. However, he didn’t take another step.

  The sides of their faces were pressed against each other. Qiao Jiusheng could not help but touch her cheek with her left hand.?

  Even though she had lived an extra life before, she was unfamiliar with such an experience of blushing like a young girl in love. However, she did not hate this feeling. She rubbed her slightly red lips and subconsciously licked them.?

  Qiao Jiusheng could only swallow her anger.

  “Aren’t you going to get up?”


  She had already kissed and hugged him. She had enough of being so reckless, and it was time to stop.

  Fang Yusheng chuckled in her ear. “I think sleeping in this position will definitely be very comfortable. It’s soft…”


  Qiao Jiusheng suddenly lowered her head and looked at the hand on her chest.

  ?Taking off Fang Yusheng’s hand, Qiao Jiusheng pushed Fang Yusheng’s shoulder. “Get up. I want to wash up before going to bed.”


  Fang Yusheng reluctantly got up.

  Qiao Jiusheng ran into the bedroom, then to the bathroom with a towel. Fang Yusheng sat where he was and reminisced about the good time he just had.

  After she showered, the two of them lay together, looking like fifteen to sixteen-year-old middle school students.

  It still took them courage to hold hands even while lying on the same bed.

  Just an hour ago, they were kissing like crazy.

  Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng found it funny that the situation had turned so pure now.

  They both found it funny and laughed.

  As they heard each other’s laughter, the awkwardness between the two of them disappeared.

  Qiao Jiusheng moved closer to the center of the bed while Fang Yusheng leaned over.

  He hugged her and said, “Sleep.”


  She hummed and went to sleep.

  ***

  The next morning, Qiao Jiusheng said good morning to Fang Yusheng. Fang Yusheng fumbled around and kissed her forehead. Then, he got out of bed, silently washed up, and went to eat breakfast. Everything was the same as before, but something seemed to have changed.

  Later, Fang Yusheng accompanied Qiao Jiusheng to the jewelry show.

  He was dressed in a suit today and held a cane. It gave him the look of a young master from a noble family. Qiao Jiusheng had worn a new silver one-shoulder beaded gown that she had bought the previous day. As it was not a high-end custom-made gown, the waist of the gown had been a little big when she had worn it in the morning. Therefore, she had specially gotten a tailor to alter it. The modified gown made her look even more elegant and intellectual.

  After their electronic invitation was verified, Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng entered the venue hand in hand.

  “It’s so shiny,” Qiao Jiusheng said. Gems and diamonds were so shiny.

  Fang Yusheng said, “Is it big inside?”


  “Big.” The exhibit was huge.

  “Then hold my hand.” Fang Yusheng stretched his hand in front of Qiao Jiusheng. “There are too many good things in here. If I accidentally bump into something and damage it, I can’t afford to pay for it.”


  “Don’t cry about being poor!”


  As she mumbled, Qiao Jiusheng held Fang Yusheng’s hand.

  Fang Yusheng could not see, but he patiently remained by Qiao Jiusheng’s side. Qiao Jiusheng’s gaze swept across the dazzling jewelry, but she did not have much longing for it. She only took two more glances at one of the jade carvings, then pulled Fang Yusheng to the tea house in the venue.

  “These jewelry items are not for sale, but there will be an auction tonight. At that time, these things will be auctioned.” Qiao Jiusheng casually held the auction booklet on the table.

  She heard Fang Yusheng ask, “Do you have anything you want to buy?”


  Qiao Jiusheng said, “There’s nothing I want to buy.” She did not have money and could not afford it.
