After more than two hours of IV drip, the IV was finally finished. After the nurse removed the needle, Bai Ye reached out and pressed on Xia Qingyue's arm.

The woman's hands were no longer so cold; her soft, boneless hands regained some warmth.

Xia Qingyue quietly looked at Bai Ye's not-so-handsome face.

It feels so good to be cared for like this, to be held like this, to be pampered like this!

When the woman's hand should have stopped bleeding, Bai Ye released her grip.

"Stay here for a while! I'm going to pay the money and then I'll go back!" Bai Ye said softly.

"Okay! Go ahead!" Xia Qingyue nodded and watched Bai Ye leave.

The fading warmth made her frown, and before she knew it, she felt better and began to rely on Bai Ye's embrace.

His embrace is so warm! I wish I could be held like that forever.

A possessive feeling involuntarily rose in Xia Qingyue's heart.

However, she also had some concerns because of the significant age gap between them. She wondered if he would mind, and Bai Ye was clearly still caught up in his previous relationship.

Before she could think too much, Bai Ye returned quickly.

Let's go!

"Hold me!" Xia Qingyue said with a smile.

Why think so much? At least for this moment, his embrace belongs to me. I don't believe he can completely ignore my charm.

Bai Ye didn't refuse, after all, he had forgotten to bring women's shoes, and it was obviously impossible for Xia Qingyue to walk back to the car barefoot.

Bai Ye gently picked up the woman and walked out of the hospital.

"Is it heavy?" Xia Qingyue asked with some concern.

"It's heavy! My hands are almost dislocated!" Bai Ye said, seeing that the woman's complexion had improved considerably, and he was in the mood to joke.

"Heh! Why don't you just drop me off somewhere?" Xia Qingyue sneered.

"Is it possible?" Bai Ye was slightly tempted.

"Do you believe I'll yell 'molestation'?" The woman's expression was somewhat disdainful.

"Uh! Just kidding, Sister Qingyue, how could I be heavy? Sister Qingyue is as beautiful as a fairy, how could a fairy have any weight! Being able to hold Sister Qingyue is a blessing I accumulated in my past life!" Bai Ye readily admitted defeat and exaggerated.

Xia Qingyue's expression brightened, and she covered her face with a light laugh: "You've fooled quite a few girls with your smooth talk, haven't you!"

"I wouldn't dare lie to anyone, a rich woman! I'm hoping to be taken care of by a rich woman and then live a life of leisure!" Bai Ye said casually.

This is every otaku's dream! Even Byakuya is no exception.

Xia Qingyue's heart stirred, and she tightened her grip on Bai Ye's neck. Bai Ye felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and his lips were sealed by a soft touch, but before he could savor it, the touch was released.

So...so soft! So wonderful!

A strange feeling suddenly rose in Bai Ye's heart; it seemed that he had been forcibly kissed again!

Xia Qingyue's eyes held a hint of affection as she looked at Bai Ye with seductive eyes: "Then how about I take care of you from now on?"

Bai Ye subconsciously wanted to nod, but quickly came to her senses: "Sister Qingyue, this joke isn't funny!"

"Guess!" Xia Qingyue stuck out her tongue slightly and licked her sexy red lips.

Bai Ye's heart was suddenly filled with complicated emotions!

Sister Qingyue! Why did you kiss me so forcefully? Do you really like me? What should I do?

Seeing Bai Ye remain silent, Xia Qingyue was somewhat disappointed, but she hadn't expected to succeed.

The atmosphere became awkward, and Bai Ye helped the woman into the car.

Sitting in the driver's seat, I took a deep breath and recalled the scene of being forcibly kissed.

Unlike the two times he was forcibly kissed while drunk before, this time Xia Qingyue kissed him while she was sober.

Kissing is usually something a girl gives to a boy she likes. Xia Qingyue is not an immoral woman and would not kiss someone so casually.

Could it be that Sister Qingyue really has feelings for me? How should I treat her?

Bai Ye was extremely distressed. Her previous relationship had hurt her both physically and mentally, leaving her utterly disillusioned with love. In fact, she had long since stopped believing in love.

"I'm sorry, Sister Qingyue! I don't really believe in love!" Bai Ye was silent for a moment, then his eyes darkened slightly, and his expression was filled with sorrow.

Regardless of Qingyue's reasons for kissing him, he felt that he shouldn't continue to hide anything, or make their relationship more complicated.

Bai Ye chuckled, "Hehe, liking me won't end well! Sister Qingyue is so outstanding, the number of people who like her could stretch from Earth to Mars!"

Xia Qingyue remained silent for a moment; she could see the sadness and pain hidden beneath the boy's smiling face.

I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

She didn't know what the boy had gone through to be so heartbroken, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

He immediately regretted his actions.

Your smiling face hides a completely different feeling; you say you're fine, but your heart is already full of wounds.

...

Bai Ye suddenly recalled the memories of the past year.

He was truly happy when he was with her, even though they were just pretending to be a couple. Whenever he saw her, his mood would improve.

That day, Yao Yuyan kissed Gu Yanzhi forcibly to spite him.

That was Bai Ye's first kiss, and also Yao Yuyan's first kiss.

At that time, Bai Ye was in a state of disbelief, constantly reliving the feeling of her first kiss.

It's beautiful and soft.

It was the first time he had ever experienced how soft a girl's lips could be.

Although Yao Yuyan was just being stubborn, Bai Ye was happy for quite some time.

Yao Yuyan later regretted it and apologized to him for being so impulsive.

But Bai Ye felt that no matter what, she would be the one who suffered a loss, not him.

But seeing her so heartbroken, Bai Ye's initial joy gradually faded away.

Their happiness and sadness never seemed to coincide.

Since then, Yao Yuyan hasn't contacted him for several weeks, and Bai Ye, maintaining his status as a fake boyfriend, hasn't contacted him either.

After all, Yao Yuyan is attractive enough to find any boyfriend she wants; he has countless options, so it's his own choice not to affect her.

Even if you like someone a lot, what can you do? If you cross that line, the fake relationship between the two of you will end immediately, and you will become like strangers.

Bai Ye carefully maintained the facade of a romantic relationship.

I hope this relationship can last forever.

...

Bai Ye was driving along the road, looking at the woman behind him through the rearview mirror.

The woman sat in the back, hugging her knees and burying her head. Her deep brown hair made it impossible for Bai Ye to see her face.

Bai Ye hesitated for a moment: "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll go to the market to buy some vegetables."

"Boiled beef!" came the woman's deep voice.

"Okay!" Bai Ye nodded.

Seeing that the woman's reaction was normal, Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
