Qiao Zhen understood immediately, and then became somewhat annoyed: "A man whose brain is full of lewd nonsense!"

“Not just yellow, but also you.” Lu Zheng pulled Qiao Zhen into his arms and gently placed her on the sofa, showering her with kisses.

This time, unlike before, Lu Zheng was very gentle and considerate of Qiao Zhen's feelings.

Qiao Zhen gradually became immersed in his gentle embrace.

...

The next day, when Qiao Zhen woke up, Lu Zheng was already asleep next to her, with one arm around Qiao Zhen's waist.

Qiao Zhen muttered "pervert" under her breath and tried to remove Lu Zheng's hand, but his arm was too strong and held her tightly, so she had to give up.

Feeling utterly bored, Qiao Zhen shifted her gaze to Lu Zheng's face.

To be precise, it should be on the body.

Watching Lu Zheng breathe evenly, his high, straight nose casting a shadow on his face in the sunlight, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but become mesmerized.

As her gaze shifted downwards, Qiao Zhen noticed Lu Zheng's thin lips were tinged with pink, making her want to kiss him.

Shift your gaze downwards...

Qiao Zhen felt her heart beating faster and faster, and couldn't help but take a couple more glances.

"Have you seen enough?" Lu Zheng suddenly asked, startling Qiao Zhen.

"You're awake?" Qiao Zhen asked in surprise. "When did you wake up?"

That scoundrel has been lying to her with his eyes closed all along!

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen grimaced and wanted to punch Lu Zheng in the chest.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zheng grabbed Qiao Zhen's wrist and opened his eyes: "I woke up a long time ago, but I've been pretending to be asleep."

"Why are you pretending to be asleep?" Qiao Zhen asked irritably.

"Because pretending to be asleep gives me a reason to hold you longer."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen paused abruptly, then turned her head to look elsewhere.

"Have you seen enough?" Lu Zheng asked the question again.

"I've seen enough," Qiao Zhen replied stubbornly, while inwardly telling herself that she hadn't seen enough.

The man saw through Qiao Zhen's little scheme, but simply curled the corners of his lips and said, "It's okay, you can touch it again when you've had your fill of looking. We'll call it a day when you've had your fill of touching."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen realized that her hand was still resting on Lu Zheng's chest.

"No need..." Qiao Zhen said, trying to pull her hand away.

But the man's hand was very strong, and Qiao Zhen couldn't pull it away at all.

"You want to touch it so badly, but you won't let go?"

Lu Zheng continued his lewd remarks, making Qiao Zhen's temples throb.

"Who wants to touch me? Don't be so narcissistic!" Qiao Zhen couldn't help but get a little exasperated.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng simply smiled and released the restraints, then turned over and pinned Qiao Zhen's hand underneath.

Qiao Zhen tried to pull away, but Lu Zheng's chest was strong and firm, pressing Qiao Zhen's hand between him and the bed.

Qiao Zhen: "..."

She was truly impressed.

After a bit of playful bickering, the two finally got dressed. Seeing Qiao Zhen about to leave, Lu Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you resign from Gu Xijue's company?"

Qiao Zhen didn't even turn her head, continuing to put on her shoes: "I resigned."

"So what are you going to do?"

"The Hope Primary School project has just been completed, and the first batch of new students have already enrolled. I'm going to visit them."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng replied without hesitation, "I'll go with you."

Qiao Zhen paused for a moment, then shook her head: "No need, Mr. Lu, you're so busy with work."

"I said I'd go, so I'll go." Lu Zheng frowned impatiently, grabbed Qiao Zhen's arm, and quickly put on his shoes.

Qiao Zhen had known this would be the outcome, so she could only nod.

At Lu Zheng's request, the two left in Lu Zheng's car.

Because the Hope Primary School was her mother's wish, Qiao Zhen insisted on bringing her mother to visit the school.

So the two of them went to Qiao's mother's house first. When they heard that the Hope Primary School project had been completed, Qiao's mother was both surprised and excited, and hugged Qiao Zhen tightly.

"Zhenzhen, Mom really... doesn't know what to say. Mom is so lucky to have a daughter like you."

Qiao's mother held Qiao Zhen's hand and said earnestly.

Seeing her mother's affectionate gaze, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but tear up.

"Mom, what are you saying? Your wish is my wish. Okay, let's go take a look."

Hearing this, Qiao's mother nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "I'll go to the inner room to get something."

When Qiao's mother returned, Qiao Zhen realized what she had taken.

It was his father's urn, along with a photo of Joe's father.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but shed tears. She quickly turned around, not wanting her mother to see her crying so miserably.

Lu Zheng then put his arm around Qiao Zhen's shoulder, holding her tightly in his arms, and then turned to say, "Mom, let's go."

Mrs. Qiao was taken aback for a moment, but did not object to the way she was addressed.

The car quickly arrived at the entrance of Hope Primary School. Because Qiao Zhen had given prior notice, the car went inside very quickly.

Looking at the transformed Hope Primary School, Qiao's mother rolled down the car window and looked outside with surprise. Then she held the woodcutter's urn and photo and shook them.

"Honey, did you see that? Our family has truly made your wish come true!"

Under a clear sky and dazzling sunlight, groups of students ran freely on the playground.

Bearing the hard work and hopes of the Qiao family, just like the name of this primary school, it is full of hope and aspirations.

Qiao Zhen couldn't help but shed tears again as the car slowly came to a stop in front of the school's teaching building.

The three of them got off the car. Qiao Zhen felt the long-lost fresh air and for a moment, she had the illusion that she was still in school.
