"here?!"

Shen Zhiyi looked around.

They were near the hospital exit, with pedestrians coming and going on the left and a wall on the right.

There are just too many people here.

How could I possibly accept that?

Li Heng took another step towards her, a stubborn glint in his eyes, and said, "I don't care."

I don't care what others think or think. In this world, I don't care about anything except you.

All I know is that I want to kiss you.

"Now, immediately, right away."

"Shen Zhiyi, will you kiss me?"

He stared intently at her, calling her name in such a solemn tone for the first time.

Shen Zhiyi bit her lip and slowly tilted the umbrella to block their faces.

She let the rain fall, wetting her hair and face.

She tiptoed and kissed his lips.

"Fool, of course I'd be willing."

Whether your ears are good or bad makes no difference to me. Because right now, you can hear me, can't you?

Li Heng's heart skipped a beat.

Yes, he can hear her.

This is a tacit understanding that is unique in the world, a destiny-like fate.

He was born to be hers.

Without her saying a word, he will know her thoughts and preferences clearly, fulfill her wishes, and carry out her plans.

He enjoyed it immensely throughout his life.

Li Heng bent down, put his arms around her waist, and kissed her deeply in the rain.

The rain was icy cold, pattering against their faces, but their lips and breaths were hot, making them intertwine and melt together in the rain.

Like a drowning person, Li Heng was brought back to life by her declaration of love.

Despite the rain, love continues to nourish us.

“Li Heng…Li Heng…”

She called out to him in the rain, seemingly unable to bear his intense heat.

Li Heng took her hand and held up the slowly descending umbrella over her head.

He released her lips to stop the downpour and held her tightly in his arms.

"Baby, I love you."

He closed his eyes and found proof of his existence and the reason to live in her warmth and fragrance.

He was willing to give everything.

As long as she continues to call out to him, hold him, and have only him in her eyes and heart, just like she does now.

Shen Zhiyi leaned against him, feeling dizzy and blissful.

"It's all your fault, I'm soaked."

She pinched his waist and accused him.

Li Heng gently curled the corners of his lips, his entire soul enveloped and filled with immense joy.

"Yes, it's my fault."

"I'm taking the baby home to take a bath."

They went back to the villa.

I got soaked again by the shower in the bathroom.

Like two inseparable fish, they exchanged everything they possessed in this torrential downpour.

Li Heng held her close, dried her hair, and then carried her to the warm and fragrant bed.

Shen Zhiyi was drowsy.

She thought taking a shower would be the end of it.

The result, however, is the process, and the beginning...

"Li Heng, if you dare to make things take this long again, I'm not playing with you anymore..." she muttered in protest.

Li Heng chuckled and pinched her fingers, playing with them one by one. He then twirled her hair and greedily brought it to his nose to sniff.

"Okay, I understand."

"But baby, why are you already thinking about next time after just finishing?" he whispered teasingly in her ear.

Her low, husky voice was tender and alluring.

Shen Zhiyi blushed and gently pushed him away, "Stop fooling around..."

"I'm so sleepy..."

Li Heng lovingly lifted her face and gently kissed her forehead and the tip of her nose.

"Okay, baby, go to sleep if you're tired."

I want to see you again.

Shen Zhiyi closed her eyes and let him be.

The instant her thoughts vanished, Li Heng lifted her fingertip and gently slipped a ring onto her finger.

He looked down for a long time, then finally lowered his head and whispered in the darkness.

"Wife...I love you."

After calling out that, his heart pounded, and finally, holding her in his arms, he fell asleep contentedly.

...

When Shen Zhiyi woke up, she suddenly felt a cool sensation on her hands.

There's still some weight to it.

She raised her hand in surprise and her pupils widened when she saw the diamond ring on her ring finger.

"Li Heng, what is this?!"

Li Heng opened his eyes, smiled, and wrapped his arm around her, pulling her back into his embrace.

"Baby doesn't remember?"

He kissed her earlobe. "Yesterday I asked you if you wanted to marry me, and you said yes, so I'll take that as a yes."

Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment.

Only then did she recall last night, when he relentlessly pressed her with questions: "Do you want it? Do you want it? Do you want it..."

Accompanied by those, those...

Shen Zhiyi's cheeks suddenly flushed red.

"I wasn't even thinking straight then! How would I know what you were asking!"

She thought he was really asking her "whether you want it or not".

She was only thinking of herself and definitely said yes, without even listening to the premise.

Li Heng chuckled softly.

"I don't care, you just agreed anyway."

"No going back on your word."

He buried his head in the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent deeply, like a big dog that he couldn't shake off, clinging tightly to her.

“Shen Zhiyi, I’m already yours, and you’re wearing my ring. You have to have it whether you want it or not.”

Shen Zhiyi chuckled helplessly, "Who proposes like that?"

"Li Heng, you're faking this marriage."

"Hmm..." Li Heng mumbled in her ear, "What if you reject me if I don't lie to you like this?"

"I can't hear your refusal, so I'll just ignore it."
