The eyes, which were lifeless like stagnant water just a second ago, suddenly burst forth with light, an undisguised joy.

He quickly walked to the sofa, squatted down, and looked at the fair face as if admiring a rare treasure. He couldn't help but reach out a finger and carefully touch it.

"Why aren't you with your new boyfriend? What are you doing here? Was that guy last night really your boyfriend?"

The words are laced with a sour taste.

He tried to calm the surging emotions in his heart, and slowly opened his mouth, his tone carrying a hint of resentment and resentment: "Why are you so fickle? Why couldn't you have held on a little longer?"

Xu Muyao continued talking to himself, not caring whether she could hear him or not.

The living room quieted down. He silently picked up the thin blanket that had fallen to the floor, gently covered her with it, and was about to turn and leave when...

A clear voice rang out from behind, "I've always persevered, I've never given up."

Xu Muyao turned around abruptly, his eyes filled with surprise.

Jiang sat up, stretched, her eyes still sleepy but revealing determination.

"Xiao Ye, you..." Xu Muyao was speechless for a moment, his eyes filled with surprise and panic.

“You were drunk yesterday, and Su Wenqian brought you home. I was worried about you, so I stayed to take care of you. Don’t worry, I’ve already informed my uncle.”

"Are you sober now?" Jiang looked directly into his eyes. "Do you still stand by what you said? You said you liked me."

Xu Muyao's expression froze. He suddenly remembered the dream he had last night. Could it have actually happened? Then what about her...?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang hurriedly jumped up from the sofa, stood in front of him, pulled down her collar, revealing her smooth, fair neck covered with red marks...

"Don't try to back out, I have proof! Last night you kept hugging me and telling me you liked me, you couldn't control yourself, and you kept calling my name..."

She winked mischievously, looked up at him, and asked, "I'll ask you one more time, do you like me?"

The varying shades of red marks, like tiny brushes, gently teased his visual nerves. Xu Muyao's ears turned red, and he whispered, "I like it."

"but……"

As if knowing what he was going to say, Jiang said, "That boy last night is my cousin, my blood cousin!"

Xu Muyao's brow twitched, and he immediately understood. "So, you guys teamed up last night to put on a show and trick me, right?"

He squinted at her.

Jiang also looked embarrassed and gave an awkward smile, "Who told you to say one thing but mean another? This is the only way I could do it."

"You're not going to renege on your promise, are you?" She stared at him intently with her wide, doe-like eyes.

"Is it too late to back out now?"

"It's too late, don't even think about getting rid of me!" Jiang also clung tightly to his arm, looking as if she was ready to die.

Xu Muyao's heart stirred, and he pulled her into his arms. "I won't go back on my word. I'm just worried that you'll regret it in the future. I'm fifteen years older than you. When I'm old and frail, you'll still be in your prime..."

"So what? Even if you're an old man now, I still want you! Since I met you, I've never considered anyone else when it comes to dating and marriage."

Xu Muyao felt his heart fill up and involuntarily tightened his arms.

"Xiao Ye, I'm sorry, I always pushed you away before."

"Hmph, if you keep doing this, I won't forgive you so easily," Jiang said, feigning anger.

"I won't, and I wouldn't dare to."

Xu Muyao's eyes were gentle, his gaze fixed on her like water, his thumb lightly stroking her cheek. "I'll ask your uncle for permission in a couple of days..."

"No need, he already knew." Jiang also put her arm around his neck, smiling brightly.

Xu Muyao: "Hmm?"

“He knew what my uncle did from the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. How could I hide my little secret from him?”

"What was his reaction?" Xu Muyao suddenly felt a little nervous.

He said he knows you best, that you're a very good man, and that I have good taste...

Xu Muyao's eyes were filled with ripples of emotion. Without hesitation, he cupped her face, lowered his head, and kissed her luscious lips, savoring their sweetness.

Bathed in the warm sunlight, they were like two large trees leaning against each other, embracing each other tightly. Their kiss was deep and passionate, as if they wanted to merge each other into their own bodies.

Love rises in the east and falls in the west, romance lasts until death, the mundane is inevitable, tenderness will always yield, and when the clouds dissipate, my love for you will be known to all.

—The End.
