Gu Ziyou felt like she had no face left in front of him, so she buried her face even deeper, pressing against his back without lifting her head.

Not only did she say a lot of lies without knowing who he was, but she also secretly watched adult content and got caught.

Why is she so unlucky?

Gu Ziyou felt ashamed of herself, getting caught was bad enough, and now she’s being told not to watch anymore, plus he seemed really displeased.

She originally thought it wasn’t a big deal, but seeing his expression all the way here, it seemed the issue might be significant.

Never expected he would mind so much, looks like Mengmeng’s idea for her is going down the drain.

Might be that as soon as she turns on the TV, he would immediately turn it off.

"Youyou." Shen Lingfeng felt the heat behind his back, her face rubbing against it.

The arms wrapped around his waist held him tightly.

At first, he wanted her to let go, but in the end, he didn’t manage to say it.

"I said I would delete it!" Gu Ziyou assumed he was still talking about that issue, her muffled voice came from behind, "I won’t do it again, don’t be mad."

Shen Lingfeng extended his arm, pulling her from behind to the front, "How many did you copy?"

"Two..." Gu Ziyou almost confessed everything, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

"Absolutely no more in the future, I swear!" She raised her hand to her head, looking up at him and promised, "I’ve sworn, isn’t that enough?"

Shen Lingfeng lowered her hand, "Let’s go back first."

Ding, the elevator doors opened.

Gu Ziyou followed him out dejectedly, head down taking out her phone quickly to send a message to Mengmeng.

Not only did he find out what they were up to earlier, but he’s also really unhappy about it.

Then she spent the whole night hugging Totoro, sighing and discussing the matter with Mengmeng until late at night.

The next day, Shen Lingfeng woke up very early, checked the time but didn’t go to prepare breakfast immediately.

He stood on the balcony, outside it was still dark, the sky just beginning to turn light.

While inside, it was quiet.

The cigarette in his hand glowed with a bit of fire, the stern lines of his face appeared somewhat lonely in the pre-dawn light.

After a moment, he returned to the room, stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray.

When he entered Gu Ziyou’s room, his steps were light.

The woman on the bed was curled up, sleeping sideways, clutching the quilt tightly.

The large Totoro bought that day slanted to one side.

He silently stood beside the bed, hands in the pockets of his home pants.

Ever since she moved here, whenever he wakes early, he would come to see her before making breakfast, but he usually didn’t come in at night.

Shen Lingfeng’s gaze toward her softened, entirely different from his usual aloofness, as if all his edges and thorns had retracted in front of her.

Simply watching her sleep soundly already filled him with satisfaction. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

He watched for a while, recalling last night, his lips unconsciously curved into a slight smile.

Though annoyed she would see other men naked, he understood her thoughts.

"Youyou..." For the first time, sneaking in, he moved to the bed.

Sitting on the edge, his fingers gently caressed her cheek.

Does she really like him that much?

His thin lips lightly touched her alabaster skin.

To him, she was the most precious existence in his life, not merely a romance, not just several passionate encounters, not merely a passerby in her life.
