Ruan Ning originally just wanted to lie down for a few minutes, but who would have thought that she would actually fall asleep in Gu Yicheng's arms. Moreover, she slept very soundly, without any sign of discomfort.

After waking up, Ruan Ning looked at the time and found that it was already 3:30 in the morning.

In other words, she had just slept in this man's arms for two full hours.

"Brother, are you asleep..." She bit her red lips and called out tentatively, but her voice was very low, as if she was afraid of waking up the other person in the room.

At this time, he should have fallen asleep...

But to Ruan Ning's surprise, she soon received a reply from another person.

"I'm still here." Gu Yicheng's warm and clear voice rang out in the quiet night.

Thinking of the person behind her still hugging her tightly, with her back against the man's warm chest, Ruan Ning's almond-shaped eyes were misty, her cheeks were slightly red, and there was a hint of embarrassment in her tone. She said, "Brother, um, I've rested enough..."

So... he has been holding her for so long, shouldn't he let her go now and let her go? And wouldn't his hands feel sore and numb after holding her in the same position for two hours?

Ruan Ning did not forget that Gu Yicheng's shoulder and ribs had been injured before. Although she used her healing ability to heal him and the injury had healed, the blood lost on the road could not be replenished, so his body should still be in a weak state.

Ruan Ning was afraid that he would be too tired because of her, which would be a sin.

Gu Yicheng chuckled softly, and in a place where the person in his arms couldn't see, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle and affectionate, "Rest for a while."

Ruan Ning hesitated, "But——"

"But what should I do if I hold you like this..." he continued.

A person who is tall and majestic in your heart, who can be admired from afar but not touched, is now whispering words that sound like love words in your ear. No matter whether others can bear it or not, after hearing these words, Ruan Ning's ears suddenly turned slightly red and she was extremely embarrassed.

Gu Yicheng looked at the delicious and lovely girl in his arms, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and couldn't help but lean over and kiss her forehead.

The sudden warm touch on her forehead made Ruan Ning's eyes widen in shock.

At the same time, the man's big hand reached out and held hers, and their fingers were crossed.

Ruan Ning swallowed her saliva. Although the atmosphere was right and saying these words might affect the relationship a little, she still felt it was necessary to remind him, "Brother, I'm not an adult yet..." This shouldn't be considered a lie. Although she had already reached adulthood in another world, this body was indeed still a minor.

"Yeah, I know." Gu Yicheng responded softly, resting his chin on her shoulder. His dark eyes deepened slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I have always remembered Ningning's birthday. It will be your eighteenth birthday in six months."

Ruan Ning felt the hot gaze of someone behind him and shrank unconsciously.

I can't help but feel lucky that she is still a minor...

Although Ruan Ning has been single since birth, has never been in love, and has never had a crush on anyone, it does not mean that she has no knowledge of men and women.

For example, now she knew what he meant by what he just said.

If Ruan Ning really loves another person, if the situation is natural, she would not rule out taking the relationship a step further with that person.

However, Ruan Ning had just accepted that Gu Yicheng had changed from her brother to her boyfriend, and she hadn't yet fully figured out how she felt about him, but her relationship with him had suddenly progressed rapidly. She really couldn't accept doing that kind of thing.

Fortunately, although Gu Yicheng's gaze towards her was passionate and intense, he did not have the slightest intention of forcing her. His actions were patient and restrained, without any sign of overstepping the mark.

Ruan Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Since this man would not do anything inappropriate to her, she thought about it and decided not to struggle anymore. She let him hold her in his arms and enjoy this rare moment of warmth.

Although there is no pink bubble like those between lovers, the atmosphere when they are together makes people feel a sense of peace in this world.

In the morning, Ruan Ning and Gu Yicheng walked out of a room.

Lin Yang and An Yi lived in the room next to them and happened to see this scene.

Lin Yang was more open-minded, and didn't think much of this scene. He took the initiative to greet the two of them, "Brother Gu, Sister Ruan Ning, good morning."

"Brother Gu, your injuries should have healed by now." Lin Yang focused all his attention on the injury on the shoulder of the man opposite him.

Gu Yicheng nodded: "Yes, I am all healed."

Hearing this, Lin Yang smiled with a bit of ease, and at the end he did not forget to praise the little beauty's ability, "Sister Ruan Ning's healing ability is really useful."

However, An Yi, who was more attentive, noticed all the details that Lin Yang did not notice. He looked at the satisfied Master Gu and the yawning Ruan Ning, and the two of them vaguely exuding a different atmosphere. The expression on his face at that moment was as if he had seen something incredible.

No way? ! ! !

A single man and a single woman, staying in the same room.

An Yi would never believe that the two of them would come out of a room early in the morning just for treatment. If it was just for treatment, how could it take so long and require staying in a room for a whole night?

An Yi had sensed something was amiss since two months ago when he discovered in S City that Master Gu, the evil spirit, was actually taking care of his sister who had no blood relationship with him. But at that time, it was just a slight sign and he didn't take it seriously.

Until now, he has taken this trend seriously again.

An Yi was the family doctor of the Gu family before the end of the world, so he had more contact with Gu Yicheng and knew how bad the eldest son of the Gu family was in the past and how crazy he played. There was basically nothing he dared not to play except pornography, gambling and drugs. It was not until he was admitted to university and left S City for the imperial capital that his temper became much more restrained. But even so, he was never a gentle, polite, and loving person who could be so good to someone.

Also, I had never heard of how good he was to this non-blood-related sister before, but now he suddenly became like this...

An Yi quickly stopped the increasingly dangerous thoughts in his mind and dared not think about the relationship between the two any further.

Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with him anyway. An Yi couldn't imagine what would happen if the young master Gu in front of him knew that he had discovered this secret.

He probably won't be murdered to silence the witnesses, but it's certain that he will have a hard time in the future.

Gu Yicheng glanced at An Yi indifferently, and An Yi shuddered immediately, with his hair standing on end.

"Brother?" Ruan Ning didn't want to make their current relationship public for the time being, so they didn't do anything intimate in public. They still looked the same as before, nothing different.

Gu Yicheng wanted to assert his sovereignty and let everyone know that this girl belonged to him alone. But he also knew that his Ningning was thin-skinned and he couldn't push her too far, so when she asked not to make it public for the time being, he didn't refuse.

Gu Yicheng heard her calling him and turned his gaze to the person next to him. An Yi was able to escape from his cold gaze and couldn't help but feel grateful to the person who saved him.

Miss Ruan Ning is such a good person.

It's a pity that I was favored by this extremely possessive master in front of me.

Alas, I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
