Upon hearing this, Xing Fei immediately pouted, pulled back the covers, and lay down on her side.
"Aren't you two tired of being together all the time?"
"Not at the moment."
Xing Fei looked like she was being force-fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
"Okay, okay, Gu Shao likes you so much that he wants to keep you in his arms all day long and take you out to look at you whenever he wants. How could a young couple like you, who are still in the honeymoon phase, possibly experience what the seven-year itch feels like?"
After drying his hair, Ji Zhinan also got into bed.
"Go to sleep."
"oh."
…………
Ji Zhinan was fast asleep when he suddenly felt an itch on his face.
She frowned, slowly opened her eyes, and saw the man's short, fuzzy hair.
Seeing that Ji Zhinan had woken up, Gu Yibei looked up and kissed her on the corner of her mouth.
"woke up?"
"Hmm," Ji Zhinan responded, looking up and finding the room strangely familiar.
When did you bring me back?
"Last night," Gu Yibei said, giving her another reluctant kiss on the corner of her lips, his voice cheerful, "I couldn't sleep without you."
After cuddling with Ji Zhinan for a while, Gu Yibei got up and went to the wardrobe to choose clothes.
Ji Zhinan also woke up and, instead of going back to sleep, got up to choose clothes for Gu Yibei.
The man stood in front of the full-length mirror, adjusting his suit. Ji Zhinan brought him a tie, and he lowered his head slightly, asking her to tie it for him.
Ji Zhinan was already quite adept at it and skillfully helped him fasten the belt.
"The work is in its final stages, and I can't leave. I'll be working overtime at the company for the next couple of days."
Like any normal young couple, Gu Yibei habitually first reported on his work.
"Okay," Ji Zhinan replied, "Take care of yourself."
"Um."
If the maid hadn't said that Bai Chuan was already waiting outside, Gu Yibei really wouldn't have wanted to go to work. He kissed Ji Zhinan again before reluctantly leaving.
After seeing Gu Yibei off, Ji Zhinan went to Xing Fei's room, where Xing Fei happened to wake up.
She had just woken up and was still a little sleepy. She ran her fingers through her messy hair and her speech was still somewhat unclear.
"Hmm? Nan Nan, why are you awake so early?"
"Okay." Ji Zhinan responded, "Breakfast is ready downstairs, go wash up quickly."
"Okay." Xing Fei nodded groggily and went to the bathroom to wash up in her slippers.
Ji Zhinan sat in the chair, took out his phone, and opened emails to handle his work.
"Nan Nan, where's the hairband I bought yesterday~~~" Xing Fei's voice came from inside.
“It’s in my bag.” Ji Zhinan didn’t look up.
"Oh." A voice responded from the bathroom, and then Xing Fei came out brushing her teeth.
Ji Zhinan was in this room before going to sleep yesterday, so his bag was hanging on the shelf next to the door.
Xing Fei, biting her toothbrush, opened her bag and rummaged through it, finding the headband she had put inside yesterday and taking it out.
Because her bag was stuffed with too many things, Xing Fei accidentally knocked Ji Zhinan's things to the ground when she took them out, and she quickly bent down to pick them up.
When Xing Fei saw the person in the photo, she froze, blinking several times, thinking she was seeing things.
"Nan Nan." She called out woodenly, holding the photo as she walked towards Ji Zhinan.
"Nan Nan, who is this?" Xing Fei asked.
Ji Zhinan looked down and saw that the photo Xing Fei was holding was the same photo of her parents that she had found in her grandfather's safe.
She immediately took the photo back and replied, "Someone very important to me."
