  Ji Yinbing was stunned. “Why?” It was not easy for her to take a break. She also wanted to go back and see her boyfriend, alright.

  Yan Nuo sensed that she was feeling down and did not explain. He only said, “You don’t have to come back.”


  Yan Nuo hung up.

  Ji Yinbing looked at the beeping phone with a long face.

  Why didn’t he let her go back?

  Ji Yinbing inevitably thought too much. Was Yan Nuo afraid that if she went back, the two of them staying together would affect his status? Or had his heart changed?

  Ji Yinbing thought hard but could not think of a reason.

  She decided not to think about Yan Nuo.

  The holidays were not short. She was not in a hurry to do her homework. Zhuang Long had recently started wandering around again, and he did not need her support for any experiments. She had nothing to do, so she ran to see a NBA match the next day, and on the third day, she spent the entire day in

  Boston Park.

  On the fourth day, she did not go out because it was snowing.

  Ji Yinbing stayed alone at home. The snow was falling heavily, and the branches outside the door were covered in snow.

  She turned on her computer to write her thesis and sat cross-legged on the bay window.

  There was a thick fluffy blanket on the bay window. She was wearing thick socks and thick pajamas when she suddenly heard the sound of a branch breaking from the snow outside the window. Ji Yinbing put down her notebook and pushed open the window to see the branch fall to the ground.

  She walked out of the apartment with a shovel. She picked up the tree branch and threw it in the bin. Then, she shoveled the snow away from the door.

  After settling everything, Ji Yinbing was hungry.

  She returned home and prepared to cook a bow! of plain noodles.

  She was a culinary idiot.

  Cooking was a simple matter for her. She poured water into the pot, threw the noodles in after the water boiled, and then added two eggs, a few small vegetables, a little oil, and… a suitable amount of salt. Just as Ji Yinbing poured the cooked noodles into a big bowl, she heard the doorbell ring.

  She frowned and walked to the door, not opening it.

  She didn’t buy anything online. Zhuang Long wasn’t in Boston today, and she didn’t have any good friends. Then, who was outside the door?

  Ji Yinbing stood behind the door and asked the person outside, “Who’s outside?”


  There was silence outside the door.

  She thought about it, ran back to her room, picked up a kitchen knife, and returned to the door.

  The doorbell rang again.

  Ji Yinbing saw darkness through the peephole.

  The person outside was very tall.

  She cautiously opened the door a crack. The anti-theft chain was not broken. Through this crack, Ji Yinbing looked out. When she saw the tall man outside, the doubts in Ji Yinbing’s eyes were all replaced by surprise.

  She came back to her senses and quickly took off the anti-theft chain.

  Yan Nuo looked down at her. There was a cold aura around him. Yan Nuo spoke, and his voice was no longer cold. “It’s me.” His uneasy tone revealed a long-lost longing.

  Ji Yinbing opened the door and wanted to hug him. When she reached out, she realized that she was holding a kitchen knife.

  Yan Nuo stared at the knife in her hand with a complicated expression.

  Ji Yinbing hid the kitchen knife behind her back like a child who had done something wrong. She said softly, “This knife was not prepared for you. I thought…” Seeing the teasing look in Yan Nuo’s eyes, Ji Yinbing gradually fell silent.

  Yan Nuo smiled.

  His soft laughter was like a cat’s paw patting Ji Yinbing’s heart.

  She felt her bones tingle.

  “Very good.” Yan Nuo walked into the house and touched her short hair with a relieved expression. “It’s a good thing to have preventive awareness.”


  He reached out to take the kitchen knife from Ji Yinbing’s hand and entered the kitchen with it. As he walked, he said, “However, you shouldn’t have taken the knife when you welcomed me.”


  He walked out of the kitchen and hugged Ji Yinbing. He pinched her chin with his right hand and said, “You have to kiss me.” After saying that, Yan Nuo lowered his head and kissed Ji Yinbing.

  Afraid that she might lose her chastity tonight, Ji Yinbing quickly pushed Yan Nuo away and begged, “Don’t, I’m still young.”


  Yan Nuo was speechless.

  Yan Nuo let go of her reluctantly.

  Ji Yinbing turned around and ran to the kitchen like a frightened rabbit. She muttered, “I haven’t eaten yet.” She picked up her chopsticks and was about to eat noodles when Yan Nuo walked in and snatched the bowl and chopsticks from her hand.

  He frowned at the indescribable bowl of noodles and said, “Is this for humans?” With that, he facepalmed.

  He finished the bowl of noodles with a few bites. When he finished eating, he saw Ji Yinbing looking at the noodles in the bowl. His expression froze and he said, “I was only going to eat one bite…”


  Ji Yinbing did not know whether to laugh or cry.

  “Forget it. Ill start cooking again.”


  Hence, Ji Yinbing cooked more noodles. Yan Nuo stood at the entrance of the kitchen and watched her cook the noodles.

  America was a surely a place for people to grow up. It had only been half a year since they last met, and his little slave was even prettier. Yan Nuo’s gaze swept across Ji Yinbing’s body. Ji Yinbing noticed it and felt embarrassed. It was as if Yan Nuo had seen everything.

  “Y-You… stop looking at me.” Ji Yinbing looked at the boiling water and did not dare to turn around.

  “Why?” When he said the first word, he was still standing at the kitchen door. When he said the last word, he had already arrived behind Ji Yinbing.

  Ji Yinbing said softly, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to withstand your temptation.”


  Yan Nuo’s heart melted.

  He turned around swiftly and strode to the bathroom.

  This time, he stayed in the bathroom for a long time. When he came out, Ji Yinbing had already finished eating her noodles. The door to the master bedroom was open. Yan Nuo walked to the master bedroom and saw Ji Yinbing helping him lay the bed sheets.

  Yan Nuo stood outside the door and watched silently……
