Looking at Xia Qingyue before him, Bai Ye felt an indescribable surge of emotion.
He secretly rejoiced that he had managed to remain calm and not reveal the fear deep inside him; otherwise, as a man, he would have lost all face.
At that moment, when he discovered that Xia Qingyue had shown fear first, a strange sense of victory welled up within him.
Bai Ye gently patted Xia Qingyue's soft shoulder and softly comforted her:
"Don't be afraid, Sister Qingyue, these things are all fake! We have to believe in science."
After saying that, he smiled gently, trying to give Xia Qingyue more sense of security.
However, Xia Qingyue, who was buried in Bai Ye's arms, was filled with helplessness.
Actually, she wasn't scared at all. The reason she acted this way was simply to protect Bai Ye's self-esteem.
However, since things have already come to this, she doesn't intend to expose Bai Ye. She'll just let the little guy be smug for a while.
Moreover, this way, she could take the opportunity to hug Bai Ye more, greedily burying her head in Bai Ye's broad chest, and inhaling the unique scent emanating from Bai Ye.
At that moment, Xia Qingyue felt an immense peace in her heart, as if all her worries and troubles had vanished instantly.
This feeling was so wonderful, so fulfilling, so satisfying that if possible, she would even wish to stay in the warm embrace of the white night forever.
Unfortunately, she knew very well that with Bai Ye's stubborn nature, he would definitely not do as she wished.
Even so, she still cherished this warm moment that belonged only to her, holding Bai Ye tightly in her arms without letting go.
On the other side, Bai Ye was quietly embraced by Xia Qingyue, and an indescribable feeling of warmth quietly welled up in her heart.
The movie that he had previously found quite terrifying no longer seemed so chilling at this moment.
Xia Qingyue's embrace was like the softest velvet blanket under the warm spring sun, warm and comfortable.
The faint fragrance emanating from her body, like a flower quietly blooming in the dark night, seeped into Bai Ye's nostrils, stimulating his sensitive olfactory nerves.
This delicate fragrance seemed to possess a magical power, easily capturing Bai Ye's previously wandering thoughts.
At this point, the relationship between Bai Ye and Xia Qingyue became somewhat ambiguous and intimate.
Although his subconscious kept telling him he couldn't continue like this, his body seemed to be under a spell, desperately craving Xia Qingyue's unique scent.
At this moment, reason was once again ruthlessly defeated by emotion, and Bai Ye couldn't help but reach out and gently embrace Xia Qingyue's slender waist.
Her slender waist was so delicate it seemed impossible to grasp, and it felt as smooth as silk to the touch.
A sudden urge surged within Bai Ye to pull Xia Qingyue tightly into his body. If he could, he would want to remain forever immersed in this gentle embrace, forgetting all the disturbances and troubles of the outside world.
However, the pressure of reality was like a heavy mountain, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He knew he could not escape his responsibilities and mission, and he understood that this relationship might ultimately be just a mirage, a fleeting moment.
Just then, the images of Yao, Su, Luo, Ye, and others involuntarily surfaced in Bai Ye's mind.
Those shared moments and experiences came rushing back like a tidal wave.
These memories instantly shattered the beautiful atmosphere that Bai Ye had just been immersed in, causing his heart, which had been excited because of Xia Qingyue, to fall silent once again.
Oh my god, I'm such a complete scumbag!
At this moment, he was embracing the gentle and beautiful Xia Qingyue in his arms.
However, the images of other women would occasionally float into his mind.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, how wonderful it would be if the world could practice polygamy!
In that case, perhaps I could keep them all by my side.
However, even though I had such unrealistic fantasies, reality was cruel.
After all, what girl would willingly share her beloved boyfriend with other women?
Perhaps only a very small number of open-minded people or those with ulterior motives would be willing to accept this, but the vast majority of girls would definitely not be able to accept this situation.
Moreover, an ordinary person like him, who has neither the financial resources to become a wealthy tycoon, would naturally not be able to indirectly realize his dream of having three wives and four concubines by keeping many women as mistresses.
For ordinary people like them, being able to get married and have children is already considered quite lucky.
Especially in this day and age, more and more people are hesitant to get married.
Marriage not only means paying exorbitant dowries, but also bearing the heavy burden of mortgage and car loan payments. These are undoubtedly like invisible shackles, tightly binding people's hands and feet, making it hard to breathe.
If a man has neither a house nor a car, nor enough wealth, then starting a family and establishing a career is virtually impossible.
Moreover, the bride price they offered was prohibitive for him.
When his cousin married his sister-in-law, the bride price was 300,000 yuan, and her family returned 80,000 yuan to her family as a gesture of goodwill.
But when my cousin's wife bought a car later, it was my cousin's parents who paid for it.
In the end, it's still the parents who have to pay for it.
Bai Ye's idea has always been to look to the future.
If he does well in the future, then he can get married and have children.
If he does poorly in the future, he would rather die than get married and have children.
No matter how much his parents urged him, he wouldn't listen.
After all, in the end, the money for the bride price, the house, and the car all comes from the parents.
They're old, they've worked hard all their lives, there's no need to waste any more time on him.
Why get married if you can't afford it? Would she suffer with you?
Life is tiring enough as it is, why torture yourself further?
Taking good care of yourself and supporting your parents is enough.
As for carrying on the family line, he was not a person of the old era and was truly indifferent to it.
Someone once said that a woman who truly loves you will be willing to accompany you through all the hardships and obstacles in life.
But after they have personally experienced the ups and downs of society, can they still hold on to that original sincerity?
The human heart is often the most elusive and difficult thing to test.
It wasn't that Bai Ye was inherently cold and heartless, but after experiencing too many disappointments, he simply didn't know how he could easily trust others anymore.
