"Of course not." Yu Tongchen straightened her collar, "You are the only exception."
Shu Shiyu stared at him straight, "What do you mean?"
Yu Tongchen half-knelt in front of her.
"For me, a glance at Qingqing is a love that lasts for a thousand years. Every time our eyes meet, I suppress the turbulent undercurrent in my heart. Every time our eyes shift, there is a landslide and tsunami in my heart."
It took all his self-control to resist the urge to hold her in his arms.
Every time I look away, I am hiding the desire deep in my heart.
"I took great pains to get close to you."
"I love you and want to be with you year after year."
He observed her expression, fearing that she might show even a hint of rejection.
Shu Shiyu's mind went blank for a moment.
Yu Tongchen's eyes were gentle as he waited quietly for her reply.
"Will there be anyone else besides me?"
She disliked the many restrictions on women, and was also opposed to men having many wives and concubines.
"There is only you, no one else can enter my heart."
Shu Shiyu lowered her eyes, went to hold his hand, and whispered: "I like your scheming."
She indulged his approach, secretly delighted at his uniqueness towards her, and watched him gradually close the distance between them.
It's not that she knows nothing.
Yu Tongchen's eyes were filled with joy. He moved his wrist slightly and held her fingers tightly. "Qingqing, have you agreed to me?"
"Yeah." She nodded slightly.
Yu Tongchen held her in his arms and said, "Don't regret your promise."
His arms were filled with the fragrance of orchids, which was very aromatic.
"I won't regret it."
With her cheeks slightly red, Shu Shiyu hugged him back, and he held her tightly in his arms.
No lady from a noble family would get married in such a secret way. She thought she was a little unorthodox.
"Finally I get to hug you." Yu Tongchen sighed.
But why do I want more?
He picked her up, sat back in the chair, and stroked her hair, "What do you want to do this afternoon?"
"Read the storybook."
It's cold and I don't want to go out.
"Have you read the book about the handsome scholar last time?" There was a hint of smile in his voice.
She patted his arm, slightly annoyed, "Don't mention that."
"Okay, don't mention it, don't be upset."
Shu Shiyu pointed to the travel book beside him and said, "Put me down. I want to read it."
Yu Tongchen reached out and took it, glanced at the cover, and said, "I'll read it to you."
"Then read it." Shu Shiyu did not refuse. Since he was willing to read it, then read it.
"Where did you see it last time?"
"I just turned to the first page. Please read from the beginning."
I heard his low and soothing voice in my ears. My eyelids felt heavy and I fell asleep on his shoulder.
Noticing that her breathing had calmed down, Yu Tongchen put down the travel journal, held her in his arms for a while, and then stood up with her in his arms.
Shu Shiyu opened her eyes slightly, and he patted her back gently, "Go to sleep."
She sank into dreamland again, and suddenly grasped something.
After he put away the robe draped over her and covered her with the quilt, he sat in front of the bed and stared at her quietly, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Oh my, someone is so happy right now~" The Pearl of All Worlds floated beside him, saying sarcastically.
"Someone is probably about to smile up to the sky~~"
Yu Tongchen ignored it and took the travel journal and read it beside her bed.
Seeing that he didn't respond to her, Wanjiezhu said a few sarcastic words and then floated away angrily.
I get angry when I see him!
When Bai Tong came over, he heard the house was quiet and knocked on the door softly.
Yu Tongchen put down the book and went to open the door. "Qingqing is asleep, be gentle."
Upon hearing this, Bai Tong tiptoed in and placed the food box on the table.
Yu Tongchen left the main house.
