…………
After a long time, everything returned to calm.
Chen Xiaoru was still dazed, her mind a blur, and she had no idea what had just happened. She only remembered being kissed until she was completely dizzy, and then... then she started fighting in a daze.
Zhou Si held her tightly in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and whispered, "I know you are not her."
Chen Xiaoru snapped back to reality, her heart skipping a beat. Alarm bells rang in her mind: What's going on? Am I exposed?! How did he know?
Zhou Si felt the person in his arms stiffen, paused, and continued: "Xiao Ru, I know you are not her."
His voice was very soft, but with a barely perceptible tremor, as if he was telling a long-buried secret.
"Chen Xiaoru used to be very gentle and kind," Zhou Si said, his voice tinged with nostalgia. "At that time, I had just arrived in this family and didn't understand many things. She always patiently taught me."

Zhou Si gently stroked her hair and continued, "But once, she hit her head and changed. She became extremely irritable and liked to hit me at every turn..."

"Xiao Ru, I will treat you well. I like you now." Zhou Si hugged her tighter, lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, and promised softly.

Zhou Si's embrace was warm, with a faint scent of soapberry, which made her feel at ease.
Chen Xiaoru could feel Zhou Si's slow yet powerful heartbeat, beating against her heart. His breath brushed gently over her head, bringing with it a faint, almost burning sensation.
Perhaps it was because of the passionate lovemaking just now, or perhaps it was because Zhou Si’s embrace was too comfortable, Chen Xiaoru’s tense nerves gradually relaxed, and sleepiness came over her like a tide.
