Fu Linchen pulled himself away from his childhood memories and looked at Su Yanxi who was sleeping soundly in his arms.
The little girl who was self-deprecating and sensitive when she was little has grown up. When she was little, if he snatched a piece of cake from her, she would get so angry that her eyes would turn red, but she would be so weak and timid that she dared not say a word.
If he tried to snatch another piece of her cake now, she would raise her hand and smear the cake on his face.
She grew from a fragile little seedling into a thorny red rose. She is confident, brave, and tenacious, with her own unyielding soul and pride.
He was genuinely happy about her transformation.
His thoughts wandered back and forth between memories and reality, and gradually, Fu Linchen finally fell asleep.
The sun hung in the eastern sky, warm as an egg yolk.
Su Yanxi slept until she woke up naturally, thinking that although this hotel was not of high quality, the bed was really comfortable.
After regaining consciousness, he found himself lying on Fu Linchen.
She climbed up from Fu Linchen in a panic, stepped on his calf with the sole of her foot, and fell back onto Fu Linchen.
She screamed: "Ah——"
He groaned: "Hmm..."
Su Yanxi shyly lay on Fu Linchen, her slender, jade-white legs flapping wildly. "Fu Linchen, why am I sleeping on you? It must be you who carried me up in the middle of the night, right?"
She kneed him somewhere.
A deep groan escaped from the handsome man's chest, and the hoarse sound sounded as if it had been ground by rough stone.
"Su Yanxi, stop it, I won't be able to control myself."
Su Yanxi's rebellious nature came up, and she deliberately acted badly and hit him a few more times.
After pushing, she ran away, crawling to the side from his body with her butt sticking up.
After successfully crawling to the empty space next to the bed, she jumped under it.
The slender waist was clamped by a big hand as strong as steel and pulled back onto the bed.
The moment Su Yanxi's back touched the bed, Fu Linchen's tall and strong body pressed towards her.
"I told you to stop messing around, didn't you hear me?"
Su Yanxi has always been a good girl who will not suffer a loss in front of her. She is able to bend and stretch, and only then can she achieve great things. She will act like a dog when she needs to.
"I heard it, I heard it now, Brother Linchen, I was wrong."
Fu Linchen sneered, "Su Yanxi, you are really soft-spoken."
Su Yanxi: "Yeah, whatever Brother Linchen says is right."
Fu Linchen: "I just said it casually. You have to try it to know whether it's soft or not."
His eyes fell on her lips, full of dangerous signals.
Su Yanxi quickly covered her mouth with her hand, "No, my mouth is not for trying desserts."
Fu Linchen: "Didn't you just say that whatever brother says is right?"
Su Yanxi: "Biu——, I take back what I just said."
Fu Linchen smiled helplessly and lightly, "Su Yanxi, you lied to me again."
Again? Su Yanxi was a little confused by this. As far as she could remember, except when she was joking, she had never lied to him before.
Right?
Actually not.
When she was seventeen, Fu Linchen took her to the Firefly Valley to watch fireflies, and she made a promise to him...
This promise was very important to Fu Linchen. It changed the trajectory of his life and made him give up the luxurious life in the capital and travel thousands of miles to Yuncheng to serve as a special police officer in the arduous and dangerous job.
Fu Linchen looked at the confusion on Su Yanxi's face with a far-reaching gaze, as if trying to figure out whether she really didn't remember lying to him or was just pretending.
The ringing of the cell phone diverted the attention of both people. Fu Linchen reached out and picked up the phone from the bedside table and put it to Su Yanxi's ear.
Su Yanxi: "Who is it?"
Fu Linchen: "Listen for yourself."
The bony fingers slid towards the green answer button and the call was connected.
"Yanyan, it's me."
Gu Yanze's gentle and soft voice came from thousands of miles away, with a hint of weakness.
Su Yanxi sensed something was wrong, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Yanze: "It's okay, just a cold, it will be fine soon."
Su Yanxi: "You need to rest more and remember to drink more hot water."
Gu Yanze: "Okay, remember, are you in the hospital now?"
Su Yanxi looked at Fu Linchen who was pressing on her and replied, "Yeah, yes."
Gu Yanze: "It just so happens that I came to the hospital today to see you."
Su Yanxi saw a playful smile on Fu Linchen's face, as if he was waiting to see her show and see how she would cover up the lie.
Tsk, how could this stump such a clever little brain of hers?
"Brother, I'm doing a cancer targeted drug research experiment in the lab today. I need to observe and record the data the whole time, so I can't come out casually."
"Oh, is that so?" Gu Yanze said, "Okay then, I won't look for you anymore."
After hanging up the phone, he looked lost.
Bai Nuannuan, who had been accompanying him the entire time, said softly, "Mr. Gu, Dr. Su isn't letting you go because it's for your own good. She's doing research on cancer, and many of the reagents used in her experiments are toxic. She's worried about your health."
Gu Yanze asked, "Is that so?"
Bai Nuannuan replied: "That must be the case. After all, Dr. Su has always liked you so much."
