"I hate it so much..." Qiao Zhen bit Lu Zheng's shoulder and complained indistinctly.
Fortunately, Lu Zheng has long legs and big strides, and they are now on the landing at the corner of the stairs, out of Qiao's mother's sight.
Lu Zheng asked, "What's so annoying about it?"
“I hate it all.” Qiao Zhen said, but suddenly wrapped her arms around Lu Zheng’s neck, nuzzled his cheek, and let out a long sigh.
Even in my daze, that feeling of peace remained.
She couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Zheng looked up and saw that the rain had not stopped, falling softly on the skylight, and the moon was hiding behind thick dark clouds.
He curved his lips into a smile, gently kissed Qiao Zhen's lips, and then bit them slightly. "Zhenzhen, do you know what that means?"
