In Tong Xiaohuai's mind, Yan Bo was shrouded in a mysterious aura.
Yan Bo wanted to spend more time with Tong Xiaohuai, but when he checked the time, it was already late.
To maintain a good image with his future in-laws, he should back out.
"It's getting late, let's all go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow."
Yan Bo placed his hand on the back of her head, leaned down, and gently pecked her lips.
After the kiss, he stood up very gentlemanly.
Tong Xiaohuai nodded and stood up, seeing him to the door.
"Alright, you don't need to see me off." Yan Bo touched Tong Xiaohuai's face at the door, gesturing for her to go back to her room.
Tong Xiaohuai stopped and watched him walk a few steps away before remembering something and calling out to him.
Are you going for a morning run tomorrow? Want to go together?
Even if he served in the special forces before studying abroad, it's impossible for him to maintain such a good physique for so long, which means he usually has good exercise habits.
Yan Bo stopped at the next stop, turned around, and asked with delight in his eyes, "I get up at six, do you want to come with me?"
Tong Xiaohuai nodded and waved to him, "Then it's settled. Meet in the living room at 6:10. I'll show you around. Good night."
"Good night!" Yan Bo waved to her as he backed away.
Since they had agreed to practice early the next morning, Tong Xiaohuai didn't dare to fuss too much. After returning to her room, she took a shower, climbed into bed, pulled back the covers, and went to sleep.
Whether it was because she was exhausted from the past few days, or because she thought of Yan Bo sleeping in the nearby guest room, Tong Xiaohuai fell asleep exceptionally quickly and slept exceptionally soundly that night.
...
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.
A faint ray of dawn peeked through the gap in the curtains. Without even looking, Tong Xiaohuai sprang out of bed in a flash.
The light snapped on, and I checked the time: 5:50.
Wow, this biological clock is more punctual than an alarm clock!
Tong Xiaohua praised herself, then rushed into the washroom and quickly finished washing up. At 6:05, she changed into her sportswear and walked out of the room.
She thought she could go to the guest room to show off to Yan Boyao, but before she could even turn left, she heard a clear greeting, "Good morning!"
Tong Xiaohuai looked up and saw that the tall man leaning against the wall in the corridor was none other than Yan Bo.
Good morning! I thought you weren't up yet!
Tong Xiaohuai followed Yan Bo's footsteps, and the two walked side by side toward the door.
"How could I keep you waiting? Besides, I was so excited last night that I couldn't sleep. When I saw that it was almost time, I got up and waited."
Tong Xiaohuai looked at Yan Bo with some skepticism. Although he was honest with her, she still felt that his words were not very believable.
How could someone as calm as him lose sleep over something so trivial?
You're kidding me!
"How about you? Did you sleep well?"
Yan Bo tilted his head and looked her up and down.
Tong Xiaohuai winked at him smugly, "Of course I slept well! I slept like a log!"
Yan Bo frowned, "It seems I'm the only one suffering from lovesickness!"
Tong Xiaohuai glared at him, "What the hell?"
Yan Bo raised his hand and ruffled her hair, giving her a meaningful look. "Forget it, you're still a little girl. You wouldn't understand even if I told you!"
Tong Xiaohuai glared at him again, but Yan Bo had already opened the door and gently pushed her out the door while holding her shoulders.
The temperature was a bit low in the early morning, and a gust of cold wind rushed over. Tong Xiaohuai was not used to it at first and sneezed twice in a row.
Yan Bo yanked the hood off her tracksuit and put it on her head. "Put this on, don't catch a cold!"
Feeling slighted, Tong Xiaohuai tossed her hat off and glared at him, "Don't underestimate me, I'm not that weak!"
Yan Bo looked at her amusedly, "Then who sneezed twice just now? Me?"
"That's a normal reaction. Aren't you a top student? Don't you understand this?"
Tong Xiaohuai got a little annoyed by him and kicked him.
Yan Bo neither dodged nor avoided the kick, but he was not angry. He just smiled and raised his hand, patting her head a few times.
Tong Xiaohuai crouched down, trying to avoid the torment of his large hands, but his hands seemed glued to her hair, no matter how she dodged, he just kept rubbing her head.
"Yanbo, what exactly are you trying to do? You've turned my hair into a bird's nest!" Tong Xiaohuai snapped.
Yan Bo still smiled, and tightened his grip a little more. "A chicken coop isn't this small, but a bird's nest is about the same size. As we run around, a bird might just come and land on it."
Tong Xiaohuai couldn't do anything with him, so she simply ignored him, shook off his hand, and ran ahead.
Yan Bo paused for a moment, shook his head with a smile, and took a few long strides to catch up.
Tong Xiaohuai, in a fit of pique, ran forward with all her might, trying to shake him off and deflate his arrogance.
However, it was as if he had a synchronizer strapped to his body. When she ran fast, he ran fast; when she slowed down, he slowed down to match her pace. In short, he was like a piece of chewing gum stuck to a cow's tail, impossible to shake off.
Tong Xiaohuai ran around most of Tongjia Village in a fit of pique, and as she was about to enter the playground, her breathing began to become erratic.
"Yanbo, are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"
Tong Xiaohuai was in a good mood and was planning to take him for a leisurely run early in the morning and then give him a good introduction to the village.
Yan Bo's breathing remained perfectly steady, and he grinned at her with ease, "No way, I'm probably the most dedicated protector of a flower."
Yanbo increasingly found that teasing her occasionally was quite a pleasant thing.
And it was only at times like these that she acted like a little girl.
Tong Xiaohuai had never seen him so shameless, and was speechless. She pursed her lips and ran into the playground.
"Xiao Huai, did you used to follow Uncle Tong around the village every day?"
There were some things that Yanbo could guess without asking, but at this moment, he suddenly wanted her to tell him in person how hard she had worked, or rather, how much she wanted to get rid of that kind of life.
Tong Xiaohuai paused for a moment, then ran forward in silence for a while before giving him a muffled "Mmm..."
A pang of heartache flashed in Yan Bo's eyes. He quickened his pace and ran a few steps forward, then turned backward to watch her run.
"From now on, I'll be with you!"
Tong Xiaohuai raised her eyelids and glanced at him, her lips twitching slightly.
Her heavy breathing came out in bursts, and she involuntarily slowed her pace, jogging forward to match his rhythm, her eyes fixed on him for several seconds, but she gave him no answer.
Yan Bo wasn't in a hurry; he simply met her gaze with his deep eyes.
