The two returned to the hotel where Su Xun was staying.

Small town hotels have limited facilities and simple layouts, but the equipment is relatively complete.

"The conditions here are limited, so please make do." Su Xun inserted the card and turned on the lights in the room, exposing the entire space.

Pei Ke was spoiled since childhood and probably has never stayed in a hotel of this caliber before.

"You think I'm here on vacation?" Pei Ke replied, amused.

His main purpose in coming here was to see Su Xun, and also...

To make some noise in the room, Su Xun turned on the TV. Since graduating, she had been traveling around with various film crews, spending half the year in hotels, and turning on the TV as soon as she got back had become a habit.

At that moment, a popular idol drama from a few years ago was playing inside. It was an adaptation of Su Xun's "Unseen Heartbeat," and she had also participated in some of the scriptwriting.

Su Xun nestled on the sofa, resting her head on Pei Ke's lap.

"Do you know where this novel was inspired?" Su Xun asked, looking up at him.

"Your high school classmate?" His deep voice sounded above him.

"No, you know these two people too. They are Pu Xiaochuan and Tang Shi."

During the summer after she finished repeating her senior year, she heard about Pu Xiaochuan and Tang Shi's story, which sparked a lot of ideas for her. She wanted to write a story similar to their experiences, but changed the timeline to high school.

Upon hearing these two long-unheard names, Pei Ke paused for a moment.

He remembered that Su Xun had a good relationship with these two people when he was in junior high school, and they continued to keep in touch even after he went to university.

"That's great. I didn't know they had such a past."

“There’s something even better: they’re getting married this November.” Su Xun stared at his face, as if trying to discern any change in his emotions.

Sure enough, a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes, and after a long pause, he finally responded with a soft "Mm."

"So, how long are you going to wait today?" She sat up abruptly and turned to face him.

How did you know...?

Pei Ke's usually calm expression cracked briefly; his heart was pounding in his chest. He had been thinking about this for a long time, wanting to be with Su Xun forever.

I just haven't found the opportunity yet.

He's usually ruthless and decisive in the law firm, but he's incredibly anxious about this matter.

"I saw it while I was tidying up your clothes while you were taking a shower."

Pei Ke went into the bathroom and put her coat on the small sofa. As she was tidying up, a box fell down. In just a fraction of a second, she realized what it was.

I was both happy and shy.

But it's almost bedtime now, and this person still doesn't seem inclined to speak. She knows Pei Ke is even more shy than she is in these matters, so she'll just have to do it herself.

He was somewhat taken aback when he realized his little secret had been discovered.

"So, will you say yes?" Even though she already knew the answer, she was still so nervous she could hardly breathe.

"Say yes, you're so cute, I can't let some other guy steal you." Su Xun smiled and pinched his cheeks.

Your skin is so nice.

“Be serious,” he said, displeased.

Isn't it said that girls are usually incredibly shy in these kinds of situations? Why is it the other way around now?

"We've known each other for at least... twenty years, starting from our freshman year of college. We've been together for seven years, we're practically an old married couple, so let's just be natural."

Su Xun counted on his fingers, then smiled and waved.

"don't want."

"?"

......

Night had fallen, and everything that followed unfolded naturally.

Su Xun felt that the man was unusually excited today, and he tormented her several times before he was willing to stop.

As the emotions reached their peak, she heard a suppressed, low voice whisper in her ear: "I'm so happy..." followed by a long string of broken words.

"Um."
