She took the initiative to hug his strong waist, pressed her face against his warm chest, listened to his strong and steady heartbeat, and solemnly promised, "Okay! It will never happen again."
After a moment of silence, Guan Wenru spoke softly, her voice tinged with a hint of etherealness, "Speak of..."
"I am here."
"During the time I was in a coma... I had a very, very long dream."
She spoke slowly, her gaze distant, as if lost in memories.
"What did you dream about?" He Yanzhi asked softly, his fingers gently stroking her back.
“I dreamt… I seemed to have returned to another life…” she chose her words carefully, “It was… in Sunan, after Han Haoxian sacrificed himself…”
He Yanzhi paused slightly as he stroked her back.
Guan Wenru continued, her tone gradually warming, "In that dream, I no longer rejected your advances... I didn't push you away because of those ridiculous worries and unresolved issues... I accepted your breakfast, let you teach me to ride a horse... Later... we even got married..."
She looked up, her eyes sparkling in the dim bedside lamp. "We were doing well and were very happy in that world... Although there were annoying people causing trouble, as long as we were together, we weren't afraid of anything..."
He Yanzhi listened quietly. Although he found the dream somewhat strange, his heart softened when he heard her say that she was doing well and was happy.
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his voice deep and content, "That's good. No matter which world or lifetime we're in, as long as I can be by your side, protect you, and make you happy, I'll be satisfied."
For him, whether it's reality or a dream, all his persistence and waiting ultimately mean nothing more than this moment... that she can truly be in his arms, safe and happy.
As Guan Wenru listened to his simple yet deeply affectionate confession, her heart swelled with a bittersweet happiness.
She looked up, leaned in, and kissed the corner of his lips. "In this life, we'll be even better."
"Yes, we are better in this life."
He Yanzhi repeated her words, his eyes as deep as the sea, reflecting her image.
He lowered his head and captured her lips precisely.
This kiss was no longer the tentative and cautious comforting one from the hospital, but rather filled with the joy of something lost and found, a deep-seated longing, and a surge of love that had been building up for five years.
At first, it's a gentle, delicate sucking, as if savoring the most precious honey in the world.
Gradually, their breathing became hot and rapid, and their kisses became deeper and more urgent, with an almost greedy possessiveness, as if they wanted to confirm each other's existence through this kiss and make up for the five years they had missed.
Guan Wenru responded enthusiastically, wrapping her arms around his neck, awkwardly but trying her best to keep up with his rhythm.
The air grew hot, and the only sounds in the room were their rapid breathing and heartbeats.
Only when both of them were struggling to breathe did He Yanzhi reluctantly step back slightly, his forehead touching hers, their noses rubbing together, both of them slightly out of breath.
His eyes were dark, churning with clearly visible lust and love, but he restrained himself.
He simply pulled her into a tighter embrace again and said in a hoarse voice, "You're tired today, so get some rest. We... have a long future ahead of us."
Guan Wenru blushed, nestled in his arms, and softly hummed in agreement.
Yes, they have a long future ahead of them.
