This time, Bai Hao didn't glare angrily at Ning Qing, but instead leisurely raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Qing.

He quickly lowered his eyes, concealing the complex emotions within them.

On the way back, Bai Hao, unusually, did not struggle to get up from Ning Qing's lap.

Instead, he covered his eyes and remained silent, lost in thought.

Ning Qing was so happy that he held his wife tightly and wouldn't let go.

I rested my chin on his shoulder and inhaled his unique scent.

They were enjoying this rare moment of solitude that belonged only to the two of them.

Ning Qing lightly tapped her toes, slowly bringing the brakes to a stop in a dark corner.

The light shone through the lush foliage, casting dappled shadows.

It falls on people, sometimes bright, sometimes dark.

Bai Hao saw the wheelchair stop and was about to look up and turn his head to ask the person behind him.

Unexpectedly, Ning Qing wrapped her arms tightly around his waist and placed her hands on his lower abdomen, their chests and backs pressed together.

She rested her chin on his shoulder and whispered in his ear.

"Don't move, let me hold you for a little while, just a little while."

Then he took a deep sniff at the back of his neck.

Bai Hao immediately stopped moving and sat quietly.

But my heart is no longer at peace.

Just as Bai Hao was lost in thought, Ning Qing's voice came softly from his neck.

"Xiao Hao, have you ever felt even a little bit of attraction towards me? I really miss you. For the past month, you have been deliberately avoiding me. Every time, I can only watch you silently in the darkness, watching your figure walk further and further away. I wish I could turn into your shadow, follow you around, and protect you."

After hearing Ning Qing's heartfelt confession again, Bai Hao's heart fluttered for him once more.

Bai Hao opened his mouth, but suddenly found that his throat was blocked by something, and he could not make a sound.

He placed his hand over Ning Qing's hand.

Hold on tight.

The two of them embraced tightly in the dappled shadows of the trees.

At this moment, their hearts were very close.

A cool evening breeze blew gently by, but it could not dispel their enthusiasm.

Half an hour later, Ning Qing finally lifted her head from Bai Hao's neck.

She smiled, leaned close to his ear, and whispered.

"Xiao Hao, I love the feeling of holding you, it makes me feel so content."

"Do you like it when I hold you?"

Bai Hao's eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips, lowering his gaze without saying a word.

He knew that the two of them had to keep their distance and not get too close.

There is no way they can be together.

He's so good at it; in just one night, he's already stirred my heart.

He was genuinely afraid that if things continued like this, one day he would lose control.

If two people get too deeply involved, they will eventually make a terrible mistake.

Just as Bai Hao was lost in thought...

Ning Qing whispered in his ear again.

"Even if you don't like me, you can't like anyone else in your life, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Hao remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"It's late, we should go back now, Dad and Aunt will worry."

He deliberately emphasized the words "Dad and Aunt".

The purpose was to remind myself of the people behind me.

With this relationship in place, there's absolutely no possibility between the two of them.

Ning Qing smiled.

"It's okay. If you don't agree today, I'll try again tomorrow. If you still don't agree tomorrow, I'll try the day after tomorrow..."

Bai Hao's lips curled slightly.

"Ha, let's see how long you can hold out."

Ning Qing lowered her head and gave him a heavy peck on the neck.

"You dare to underestimate me? We'll see."

As he spoke, the wheelchair slowly headed towards home.
