Martha thought that she must have been so afraid of being alone before that she was afraid of losing others and tried every means to escape and avoid the feeling of loneliness.

Now she doesn't need it anymore, because there is someone who will always be with her.

All she had to do was lean against that broad, warm chest.

At that moment, she felt a sense of peace she had never experienced before; perhaps this was what she had been looking for.

Martha stayed in Qin Yichen's arms for a while, then looked up at him and said earnestly, "Brother Chen, thank you for coming to see me today."

Qin Yichen patted her head: "Silly girl, we don't need to say thank you between us."

He was already grateful that she had come to her senses so quickly, but then she thanked him instead, which made him feel inexplicably like she was a jerk.

How could you fool such a young girl like that?

However, it can't be called fooling him; he was serious about her!

Although they met through a game and fell in love in real life not long ago, he felt that she was the one.

She is the right person he has been waiting for!

Speaking of games, Qin Yichen was itching to play. He and she were a couple in the game, so it wouldn't be a problem to show off their affection in the game, right?

"Sasha, let's go back. How about we play games at my apartment?"

"If we go back, what will happen to Qian-ge?"

Martha felt a pang of conscience if she abandoned Zhuang Qian.

Qin Yichen said, "He probably doesn't want us to bother him for the time being. You can just send him a message."

Martha asked curiously, "Why?"

Qin Yichen said, "I saw him talking to a memorial tablet in the ancestral hall. He must have been someone very important to him."

Martha immediately thought of Qian Ge's brother and Sister Tian Tian.

She misses them very much.

But after glancing at Qin Yichen, who was eager to go back, she sent Zhuang Qian a message saying that she and Qin Yichen would return to the city first.

She'll come see Sister Sweetie again next weekend.

She had a lot to say to her.

Lost in thought, Martha let Qin Yichen lead her toward the foot of the mountain.

The way down the mountain is much easier than the way up.

Most importantly, the mood is different, so walking becomes naturally easier.

The two quickly reached the parking lot at the foot of the mountain.

Qin Yichen opened the car door, let Masha sit in the passenger seat, and helped her fasten her seatbelt.

Then he went around to the other side, opened the driver's side door, and got in.

On the drive back, Masha fell asleep in her seat.

While the light was red, Qin Yichen reclined the seat so she could sleep more comfortably.

Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he felt increasingly calm.

Martha, seemingly lost in a dream, gradually smiled a satisfied smile.

Qin Yichen saw this and couldn't help but smile.

Back in the city, it was already 2:30 pm due to traffic.

They hadn't had lunch yet.

Qin Yichen drove to Xizhou Grand Hotel.

"Sasha, wake up."

He unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned closer, and whispered his name to her.

Suddenly, Martha opened her eyes and looked at the man so close to her: "Qin Yichen..."

She called him by his full name.

"Mmm." Qin Yichen unbuckled her seatbelt, looked down at her, his eyes full of doting affection.

"Are you hungry? Let's go inside and eat."

After Qin Yichen finished speaking, he took the lead in opening the car door and getting out of the car.

Martha watched his retreating figure, a sweet smile playing on her lips.

Before he could walk around, she pushed open the car door and got out.

Qin Yichen then took her hand and walked into the restaurant.

"Welcome!" The waiter rushed over to greet them as soon as they entered.

Qin Yichen instructed, "Book us a private room."

"Okay, please wait a moment," the waiter said politely.

Soon, Qin Yichen led Masha to a private room on the second floor.

Qin Yichen looked at Martha and said, "Sit down for a while, I'm going to the restroom."

Martha grabbed his hand: "I'm going to the restroom too."

She slept the whole way back and didn't look at the receipts carefully when she got off the bus. She thought it would be better to go to the receipts office to sort them out.

Qin Yichen raised an eyebrow and joked, "You want to come to the restroom with me?"

Martha's pretty face flushed red. She immediately let go of his hand and turned to walk towards the restroom.

Qin Yichen watched her retreating figure and couldn't help but chuckle.

He followed them.

Qin Yichen looked at Martha, who was standing motionless in front of the sink, and his smile deepened.

"Wait for me," he said before entering the men's restroom.

Martha's blush had just faded, but now it was red again.

She washed her hands first, then splashed cold water on her face, trying to lower her temperature before he came out.

To prevent him from talking nonsense again.

As Martha was washing her face to cool down, she heard footsteps approaching, but with water in her eyes, she didn't look to see who it was. Instead, she fumbled for a tissue in her bag to wipe her face.

Suddenly, she heard a flirtatious male voice: "What a pretty young lady! Are you alone?"

Was the other person talking to her?

Martha was stunned.

Before she could speak, Qin Yichen's icy voice rang out from the men's restroom doorway: "What, you inhuman thing trying to hit on my girlfriend?"

"Holy shit!"

The flippant man cursed, glaring angrily at Qin Yichen: "Who the hell are you calling a 'non-human'?"

"Whoever responds gets the blame!" Qin Yichen walked to Masha's side and said gently, "You go back to the private room and wait for me."

Martha looked at him with concern.

Qin Yichen gently pushed her along, saying, "Go on, be good."

Martha kept turning back to look at herself.
