I just got caught in the rain; if I don't go back to my room, I might catch a cold.

Song Zhu turned around and squatted down, and Yun Lian took the opportunity to hook her arms around his neck.

"Why are you back again?"

Song Zhu reached out and picked her up in a princess carry. In that instant, ice and fire intertwined, and both of them shuddered at the same time.

"Song Zhu, why are you so cold? Didn't you find the hot water switch?"

Song Zhu held her firmly and strongly, and even bounced her up slightly to prevent her from falling.

"I'm worried you'll catch a cold, so I'll take you back to your room first before I leave."

For the first time, Song Zhu was struck by how short the distance from the living room to the second floor was; it didn't take long to reach the end.

Song Zhu gently placed Yun Lian in the quilt, and Yun Lian held his hand tightly.

After changing out of her uniform, Song Zhu put on a simple white shirt and a pair of suit pants that Yun Lian had casually draped over her shoulders. Her hair was unkempt, and water droplets dripped from the ends.

Song Zhu has a healthy wheat-colored complexion, and because his shirt is a little small, you can clearly see the bulging muscle lines under the shirt.

"Song Zhu, are you sure you want to leave tonight?"

Yun Lian deliberately moved closer to him, breathing softly into his ear, her eyes revealing a sly glint.

Song Zhu stiffened, but tried to remain calm, taking a slight step back, her face revealing a hint of barely suppressed panic.

Their eyes met, the heat in them seeming to melt everything.

When Song Zhu opened her mouth, the hoarseness in her voice almost startled herself.

Song Zhu wrapped Yun Lian in the quilt before daring to breathe.

“Yun Lian, I should take responsibility for you. We only confirmed our relationship today. If I do this, it will seem like I'm taking advantage of you. I really want to be with you until the end and I don't want you to regret it later.”

Suddenly, Yun Lian stretched out a delicate white hand from under the covers, grabbed Song Zhu's collar, and pulled him towards her.

“Song Zhu, we are both adults, and I know very well what I am doing…”
