Pei Ke took Su Xun's hand, which was placed at her side, and squeezed it.

"She likes you." Su Xun repeated the sentence, her heart softening, but Pei Ke looked exceptionally cute right now, making her want to tease him a little longer.

"Why does she like you?" She deliberately put on a stern face and asked seriously, "Was it when you were a freshman, before I came to university, that you were flirting with her?"

His face had only been cold for a moment when it was grabbed by a pair of hands.

"Su Xun, it's been so long since I've seen you, you seem to need a good scolding."

Although Su Xun's face was cold, he still caught the smile that hadn't been completely hidden from the corner of his mouth. He felt relieved but also a little annoyed; he had really been in a hurry just now.

"It's clearly... um..." You need to be taught a lesson.

Before she could finish speaking, her mouth was covered, and she glared at the person in front of her.

Then she felt a pain in her lower lip; the person had bitten her.

"What's your zodiac sign? You actually bite people." She slightly broke free.

Then she moved to another spot, lowered her head a little, buried her face in Su Xun's neck, arched her back gently, her nose brushing against the exposed skin, and her breath spraying onto it.

Su Xun was ticklish and couldn't stand it at all, so she couldn't help but move around. Then she heard a low, deep mutter in her ear.

"I don't care what others think of me, I only like you."

The warm-colored light overhead shone quietly, and through the gap in the curtains, one could see that the outside was still a strange color—pink.

Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, the person on top of him suddenly stopped. Su Xun squinted, his voice soft, "What's wrong?"

"Not yet." He kept his head down, his voice low and hoarse, concealing a wild beast about to break free from its shackles in the darkness.

It's not possible now; he doesn't want her to regret it or feel wronged later.

Upon hearing those four words, Su Xun paused for a moment, then looked at the person in her arms. His eyes, which had been slightly downturned, were now red, and his usually cool face was now tinged with a captivating allure. She could feel his suppressed emotions and pain, and then she placed her hands around his neck.

"If you feel uncomfortable, don't suppress it." She gently stroked the back of his neck, which made him tremble slightly.

"If you only like me, then I'll only like you too." She chuckled, her eyes full of laughter.

The person who heard this suddenly raised his head, propped himself up, looked at her, and traced every inch of her face with his eyes, as if trying to engrave her features into his blood.

"good."

The light snow that had stopped in the afternoon began to fall again, softly and gently landing on the streets and tree branches, covering the world with a thick layer of pure white once more.

The night grew even quieter.

Over the next few days, Pei Ke led his group to visit all the famous places in Tokyo and bought a lot of things.

Knowing that she was coming to Japan, her friends all asked her to buy things for them, mostly cosmetics, so Su Xun didn't want to spoil their fun.

I brought Wen Yanyan some Japanese skincare products and Liu Wei some comics that are not available in China.

When she was packing her things, there was quite a lot of stuff piled up, but luckily her suitcase was big enough.

January 1st is New Year's Day. Su Xun spent the Japanese New Year here and returned to China on the 2nd.

"I don't know when we'll see each other again after this separation." Su Xun clung to Pei Ke, refusing to let go; she was becoming more and more attached to him.

"I'll come back during the Lunar New Year and bring you snacks then." He gently ruffled Su Xun's hair, soothing her softly.

Su Xun has taken a liking to a local snack these past few days. She's never seen it in China, so she even bought some to carry with her.

"Um."

Although I didn't want to leave, I eventually passed through security and boarded a flight back home.
