"Ha, I see. But aren't you two already adults? It's rare to see you able to hold back like that. I've seen it before; once they have a boyfriend or girlfriend, they can't wait to get everything done."
An Youhe's expression was noticeably less gentle; she no longer seemed to like the beautiful woman in front of her.
"I don't want to talk about these things. These are all private matters between Ye Zhou and me. Ye Zhou is fine, everything is going well. I don't want to prove anything to you. I don't know why you are so interested in Ye Zhou's affairs, but it is not good to discuss other people's privacy behind their backs."
All of An Youhe's words reached Ye Zhou's ears next door. Ye Zhou couldn't help but chuckle softly. When this girl got serious, she really did seem like a lawyer. She even knew how to protect her boyfriend. Not bad, not bad.
Zou Yun was taken aback by the seemingly gentle girl's reaction. "Are you alright? I was just asking casually, just joking. Isn't that how girls joke around with each other, like friends?"
“I never said I wanted to be friends with you. I did have that thought before, but now it seems there’s no need for it.”
Ye Zhou couldn't help but give An Youhe a thumbs up. This girl is actually speaking with such confidence now! Amazing!
Then, there seemed to be no sound from next door. Ye Zhou pressed his ear against the wall, trying to listen carefully.
It feels amazing to have someone maintain it.
Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door.
Ye Zhou went downstairs to open the door and, unsurprisingly, saw An Youhe.
The girl hugged the blanket and asked, "Can I sleep with you?"
The girl blinked, her face flushed, red from the argument, but there were no tears in her eyes.
Ye Zhou was quite satisfied and waved his hand, "Come in, I'll reluctantly take you in until you go back."
An Youhe obediently placed a quilt to one side, crawled into the quilt, and only poked her head out.
His dark, bright eyes stared at Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou pretended to be calm, closed the door, and went to bed to cover himself with the blanket.
An Youhe asked in a low voice, "Ye Zhouzhou, if a girl says a boy isn't good enough, will that boy get angry?"
"Of course, a man can never say he can't do it."
"Oh, Ye Zhouzhou, you're really something. Hey, haven't I said that before? It sounds so familiar."
Ye Zhou reached out and pulled the girl's head into his arms. "Do you recognize me? From now on, I'll make you say it every day, of course, because I'm really good at it."
An Youhe lifted her long eyelashes and saw Ye Zhou's cheeky grin.
Did you overhear my conversation with her just now?
Ye Zhou raised an eyebrow. "I heard a little bit, but you're great! You know how to protect your boyfriend, and you didn't even lose any pearls. That's amazing!"
An Youhe smiled foolishly, then said seriously, "Of course, I won't allow anyone to say anything bad about Ye Zhouzhou!"
Ye Zhou leaned closer to the girl, their lips met, and he kissed her until she was breathless before stopping.
"This is your reward, young lady."
An Youhe blushed and pulled the covers over her head, saying, "I...I'm going to sleep."
"Okay, okay, I'll turn off the light now. Don't keep it to yourself. Do you think I won't notice you're blushing just because you're hiding under the covers?"
Ye Zhou smiled and reached out to turn off the light.
I guess I've been a bit busy lately and haven't been kissing her as much. Girls are so easily shy these days, so you need to kiss her more to get to know her better.
...
"I'll go test the signal tower again," Ye Zhou said while eating breakfast.
The four of them sat around a table. Zou Yun was completely unaffected by An Youhe's words, eating and drinking as if she hadn't been the one gossiping yesterday.
Having money at home certainly gives you more confidence when you're out in the world.
Hu Lai's mouth dropped open. "What? Why do we have to go again? Wasn't it already running normally? I thought I could go back to headquarters and report back today!"
Ye Zhou said, "It's not that easy. What if this success is just a coincidence without multiple experiments? All truths are derived through repeated practice."
Hu Lai sighed, "I was already exhausted yesterday and really didn't want to go there again. Just seeing that tall signal tower makes me nervous."
Ye Zhou quickly finished his breakfast and drank a glass of hot milk. "None of you need to go. Give me the car keys, I'll go and test it out. The test is very simple, I can be back in about two hours."
Hu Lai's eyes lit up. "Really? Team leader, you're the best team leader in the world!"
Ye Zhou's clothes were tugged, and the girl said pitifully, "I want to go with you."
Ye Zhou ruffled the girl's hair. "Didn't I say I'd be back soon? Once I'm back, we'll go back to Beijing. You still have homework to do. Don't fall behind in too many classes."
An Youhe insisted, "You said yesterday that you would be back soon and that you would be back for lunch, but you didn't come back until very late. I must go with you this time."
Ye Zhou smiled helplessly and kissed the girl's cheek. "Don't worry, if I'm not back in two hours, I'll go kneel on the washboard myself."
An Youhe then grabbed Ye Zhou's large hand, "No, the washboard hurts a lot."
"Okay, then I'll let you do whatever you want with me. You can touch me wherever you want, is that alright?"
Then, the girl lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
"Ye Zhou, be careful on the road, and be back in two hours!"
Ye Zhou shouted from inside the SUV, "Don't worry!"
An Youhe shielded her eyes from the dazzling sunlight with her hand. It was already spring, and the spring sunshine was very warm.
Hu Lai said, "Go back quickly. You two are really something. I don't understand them. It's just being apart for two hours a day. What's the big deal?"
After the SUV disappeared from sight, An Youhe turned her head and asked, "You must have never been in a relationship before, right?"
Hu Lai froze on the spot. It was too hurtful. He never expected that a gentle girl could say such hurtful things.
"So what if I've never been in a relationship? Who says all men in the world have to get married, have children, and date? I'm against marriage!"
With a smile on his lips, Zou Yun said to Hu Lai, "Don't be fooled by her appearance. She looks like an innocent little rabbit, but she's actually very strong inside. I can't even argue with her."
Hu Lai was still quite surprised as he watched the girl enter the hotel.
Zou Yun also turned and walked into the hotel. Before leaving, he said to Hu Lai, "Tch, still single at such an old age."
Hu Lai was seething with anger. "What's wrong? So what if I've never been in a relationship? You're single now too. What's the difference between being single and never being in a relationship? Don't be so arrogant. I'm still a pure Yang body! I'm going to cultivate immortality in the future. I'm going to become an immortal cultivator!"
