The morning light shone through the gaps in the curtains.
The soft, fluffy head rested against Jiao Yuyin's nose.
Jiao Yuyin stared at a sliver of sunlight seeping through the gap in the curtains. Lu Yu, lying sound asleep in his arms, was completely unguarded, her back to him, with a large expanse of skin on her neck exposed.
She was completely enveloped in his embrace, their hands intertwined, conveying the deepest intimacy of their relationship.
Jiao Yuyin couldn't help but lower his head towards Lu Yu's neck.
Warm lips touched the delicate skin of her neck, then parted just as quickly.
Jiao Yuyin dared not indulge himself any longer. He ruffled Lu Yu's hair with one hand and gently woke her up: "Little fish, wake up."
Lu Yu closed her eyes and hummed softly, "Mmm..."
Consciousness slowly returned to her brain. Lu Yu sat up abruptly, scratched her head, and looked a little uncomfortable.
"Go wash up." Jiao Yuyin said calmly, and then walked towards the bathroom.
In the past, Jiao Yuyin would mostly wash up in the downstairs bathroom, leaving the bedroom as his private space for Lu Yu. Because of this, Lu Yu once mentally labeled Jiao Yuyin as a gentleman of the new era.
Now, Jiao Yuyin is naturally washing up in the bathroom of his bedroom.
"We're going to be late."
Jiao Yuyin's urging voice came from the bathroom.
Lu Yu still found it hard to take a step.
But with the morning assembly time fast approaching, Lu Yu didn't have much time to hesitate.
She steeled herself and walked over to Jiao Yuyin.
On the sink, a small clump of pink, translucent toothpaste was already clinging to her off-white toothbrush.
Jiao Yuyin stared at the mirror, wiping his face with a towel, looking completely at ease.
It seems that... Jiao Yuyin squeezing toothpaste for her was just an ordinary thing.
Lu Yu mechanically placed the toothbrush into her mouth, and her mouth gradually filled with bubbles.
"You have to get used to it."
After Jiao Yuyin finished speaking, he turned and left.
The teasing voice seemed to still echo in her ears. Lu Yu, blushing, rinsed her mouth vigorously and made a silent vow: she couldn't keep being teased, nor could she keep blushing.
We absolutely cannot lose our momentum!
When Lu Yu came downstairs, a simple breakfast had just been placed on the table.
Fried eggs, bacon sandwiches, and milk—a perfect combination.
Lu Yu was in a much more relaxed state, and after a hearty meal, she was in a great mood.
“I’ll take you there today,” Jiao Yuyin said, leading Lu Yu toward the garage.
Where is Xiao Zhong?
Jiao Yuyin never saw her off in the morning.
“Now that I have a boyfriend, I don’t need a driver anymore.” Jiao Yuyin paused. “Yesterday you asked me what our relationship is now. Actually, I really wanted to say that we are a couple who will grow old together.”
Jiao Yuyin gripped Lu Yu's hand tightly and continued, "But it seems you haven't experienced being pursued, falling in love, and getting married yet. You didn't give me the chance to pursue you. At least, there's still a chance to slowly fall in love. When you've thought it through and are ready to spend your life with me, tell me."
Lu Yu immediately adopted a confident demeanor, "I'm ready—"
Jiao Yuyin interrupted Lu Yu's attempt to say "I'm ready."
"Lu Yu, think this through. This isn't a competition. Once you've said it, there's no going back."
Jiao Yuyin looked solemn, while Lu Yu stammered.
“Take your time to think it over, and let’s take our time to date.” Jiao Yuyin opened the passenger door with one hand, gesturing for Lu Yu to get in.
The vehicle slowly drove out of the garage.
Lu Yu caught a glimpse of the basketball court tent; in the sunlight, the Doraemon pattern was much clearer than it had been the night before.
Lu Yu smiled.
"Okay, boyfriend."

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Jiao Yuyin was busy outwitting Jiao Yushen, while Lu Yu was busy training new tactics.
