Chapter 56: Tenderness

After dinner, Qi Shaoyou simply sat with Liang Man in the living room and chatted with her.

For the first time, Liang Man, who is used to self-discipline, did not exercise after the meal but instead stayed with her beloved.

As long as she was with Shaoyou, Liang Man felt that nothing else was a big deal.

She was even somewhat relieved that she was wealthy enough. If things really didn't go well, she could simply take Xiaobao abroad and get married.

As for Fang Yuan, she would introduce Fang Yuan to better people. Fang Yuan is essentially a top-tier agent that many celebrities would kill for.

If needed, she could even compensate Fang Yuan. Liang Man knew just by thinking about it that Fang Yuan would be furious with her decision.

Qi Shaoyou and Sister Manman held hands as she listened to Sister Manman talk about her hopes for the future.

"We'll have a villa by the sea and keep two cats."

“Every morning, the sunlight will be our alarm clock. You can go diving whenever you want.”

Liang Man tapped Qi Shaoyou's nose, her eyes like a gentle tide that could drown a traveler in its deep affection in the blink of an eye.

"Then I'll wake Sister Manman up like this." Qi Shaoyou took Liang Man's hand and gently kissed the corner of her mouth.

Liang Man did not expect Qi Shaoyou to do this. She blinked and looked at Qi Shaoyou without any attempt to avoid him.

“Then… this side too.” Liang Man tapped the other corner of her lips, her eyes full of doting affection.

Qi Shaoyou leaned in again, but Liang Man deliberately turned her head away when the child kissed her.

With a gentle kiss, Qi Shaoyou tasted the jasmine fragrance on Liang Man's lips. The jasmine scent lingered from the tip of his tongue to the back, carrying a subtle sweetness.

Qi Shaoyou deliberately indulged herself, and thus became increasingly excessive. She grabbed Liang Man's waist, preventing her from backing away.

Their hands, which were originally clasped together, became intertwined.

So soft and supple, Qi Shaoyou didn't know how to describe the feeling of holding his waist.

It was as if she had grasped a cloud that belonged solely to her, and a sense of possessiveness rose within her at that moment.

It was uncontrollable, and she didn't want to control it.

Kissing is such a perverse thing. You can use it without restraint to repeatedly confirm her response in front of you.

The passionate kiss was like a tornado eroding their remaining rationality.

【Boss! Brake! Brake!】 On May 27th, the sky seemed to have fallen, and she was terrified.

"This is the only way..." Even though Liang Man crossed the line first, she was the one who pushed away Qi Shaoyou, whose eyes were already glazed over.

Qi Shaoyou then withdrew from the unrestrained kiss, and looking at Liang Man's rosy lips always stirred a hint of longing within her.

[Something's not right, 0527, something's not right with me...] Qi Shaoyou felt that there was something wrong with his emotional module.

She was starting to lose control...

Qi Shaoyou took a deep breath and leaned dejectedly on Liang Man's shoulder.

Liang Man reached out her slender hand and helped Qi Shaoyou comb his long hair.

As her fingertips brushed against her slightly cool hair, Liang Man felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction filling her heart.

Her little baby stayed obediently by her side.

For a long time, Liang Man felt like a small boat in an unnamed sea. In the vast ocean, there was no precise coordinate to indicate her location.

And she could never see the shore from her boat, so over time she began to convince herself to forget this feeling of loneliness.

As long as you forget, you can continue your voyage.

Suddenly, God played a trick on her, placing a small piece of land in her path.

For the first time, the long-drifting ship had a shore to dock.

Fortunately, Liang Man was glad that she could stop on this small piece of land.

"Sister Manman, if I do something wrong in the future, can you forgive me?" Qi Shaoyou's muffled voice came out.

Liang Man was puzzled; why would Qi Shaoyou suddenly say that? She was about to ask what was wrong when she heard something that made her frown.

“They all say that when a person dies, it’s like a lamp going out, so if I die, Sister Manman can’t hold my mistakes against me.”

Qi Shaoyou spoke very softly, but Liang Man still heard him because they were very close.

Liang Man frowned and grabbed Qi Shaoyou's shoulders, forcing her to look directly at her.

"Nothing is more precious than your life, do you hear me? No matter what our relationship is, Shaoyou, you must cherish your life."

Liang Man's heart suddenly ached sharply. She thought of the dream in which Qi Shaoyou was gone, and what awaited her was eternal loneliness.

Accompanying her loneliness was the pain of losing her beloved forever.

The pain was like having barbs; when you pulled them out, the wounds were bloody.

"I promise I will cherish my life!" Qi Shaoyou saw the panic in Sister Manman's eyes and realized he had said the wrong thing, so he immediately swore an oath.

Because of this conversation, Liang Man was in a bad mood until she went to bed.

"Don't be angry, I was wrong, Sister Manman." Qi Shaoyou tugged at Liang Man's sleeve and started to act coquettishly.

"Don't be angry anymore." Liang Man rubbed the puppy's head. How could she bear to be angry with this silly little thing?

"Then I'll sleep with Sister Manman," Qi Shaoyou said shamelessly, only to be stopped by Sister Manman.

"No, you sleep by yourself." Liang Man refused. Her pheromones were unstable, and it wouldn't do if she aroused Qi Shaoyou in the middle of the night.

Her omega hormones are unstable, and her estrus cycle can last for an exceptionally long time once she spends time with an alpha.

The issues with the film crew and the trending topics haven't been resolved yet; now is not the time to do these things.

Qi Shaoyou was just joking, but seeing Liang Man's firm refusal only made him want to beg her a couple more times.

"Sister Manman~ You really won't say yes?"

Qi Shaoyou was very persistent, like a puppy that had been chased away but then came back after taking a few steps.

"No." Liang Man said gently but firmly, and Qi Shaoyou pouted and closed the door.

"Goodnight, Sister Manman. Remember to think of me tonight too." At the very end, Qi Shaoyou still had to say this in a sticky way.

As soon as he got back to his room, 0527 immediately pulled out all the Happy Beans in his account.

【I'm offering you all my game accounts, please, boss, spare me!】0527 felt like crying but had no tears left, feeling like his life was hanging by a thread.

"There's no need to panic. Everything will naturally return to normal after tonight." Qi Shaoyou spoke in a very different tone.

0527 then realized that the big shot had been logged into another account.

No matter what, as long as it's not the same person who threatened or berated her last time.

Meanwhile, Liang Man, upon entering the dream, saw a woman who looked exactly like her, dressed in a black robe.

"She's about to completely abandon you, and you still feel happy?"

"The moon in the water, the flower in the mirror—can't you see through them?"

"In that case, I'll take a look for you."

"Liang Man, if you want Qi Shaoyou to live, don't resist me."

Hearing these words, Liang Man thought of what Qi Shaoyou had said earlier.

"What do you mean? Explain yourself!"
