“Have you been there?” Xia Wanyuan was curious. Jun Shiling did not look like someone who would go to a nightclub.

“Yes, I’ve been there before when I was on a mission.” So he knew that there were people from all walks of life inside and was worried when Xia Wanyuan came out and played by herself.

“Alright, am I quite ugly in this?” Xia Wanyuan lowered her head and looked at the flower shirt on her.

“No, you’re the prettiest. You look good in anything,” Jun Shiling said extremely seriously.

Hearing Jun Shiling’s words, Xia Wanyuan found it funny. Sometimes, she even felt that she had drugged Jun Shiling. Otherwise, why was he so obsessed with me?

Bo Xiao stepped on the accelerator all the way home and the speed of the car soared. An Rao sat obediently in the front passenger seat and acted as a silent mascot.

After getting out of the car, Bo Xiao strode home as if he did not want to care about An Rao. An Rao walked slowly.

“Hurry up. The elevator is almost gone.” Seeing An Rao dawdle, Bo Xiao stopped and waited for her.

Seeing Bo Xiao stop and wait for her, An Rao smiled and ran over.

After returning home and closing the door, Bo Xiao was about to settle scores with An Rao. “You’ve really grown capable.”

“Hubby,” An Rao hugged Bo Xiao’s waist from behind and called out gently.

“… Don’t play this trick.” Bo Xiao turned around and pushed An Rao’s hand away. He wanted to continue telling her about kidnapping Xia Wanyuan to the nightclub.

“Bo Xiao, I like you so much.” When Bo Xiao pushed her away, An Rao immediately wrapped herself around him again. She hugged Bo Xiao’s waist and looked up. “Why are you so handsome? You’re so good to me. Your temper is good too. Everything is good.”

“…” Bo Xiao’s throat rolled as he looked at An Rao with love in his eyes. “Cut it out. You’re dressed like a crazy person. Why are you learning to play the honey trap?”

“Oh.” An Rao looked down at her clothes. They were indeed a little ugly.

However, was it really useless? She could feel Bo Xiao’s reaction. An Rao blushed and looked up at Bo Xiao suspiciously.

Bo Xiao also wanted to scold her. Who would have thought that An Rao, who was dressed like a lunatic, would say a few nice words and he would be affected?

“Go and change your clothes quickly. Also, you smell like alcohol.” Bo Xiao pushed An Rao away and walked into the bedroom as if he was escaping.

Sighs came from the balcony of the Fu family’s villa.

“Son, take it that I’m begging you, okay? After so many years, if she likes you even a little, I’ll go and propose for you without a second thought. But as you can see, she doesn’t have any feelings for you at all.”

Mrs. Fu looked at her son, who was getting thinner by the day, and felt uncomfortable.

Back then, when Fu Li was about to graduate, he suddenly changed his major. His family did not allow it, so he fell out with them and went out to explore. After so many years, the Fu family had long lost those biases, but Fu Li had always been outside.

It was not easy for him to come back, but he had made himself like this. As a mother, her heart ached when she saw this.

“Mom, I’m the one who has let you down. Didn’t you arrange a blind date for me? Where is it? I’ll see her tomorrow.” Fu Li’s expression was nonchalant, as if nothing could pique his interest.

“Okay, I’ll arrange it for you.” Finally, when Fu Li relented, Mrs. Fu heaved a sigh of relief.

After Mrs. Fu left, Fu Li lay on the balcony alone and looked at the stars in the sky.

In a daze, he was still that lively youth who had just graduated. He had rented a small and dilapidated apartment with Liu Xingchuan and Tang Yin. There was no air conditioner in the summer, and the three of them lay on the balcony like this to be cold and look at the stars.

Thinking back, although it was tiring at that time, they were pure and sincere. As he watched, Fu Li lay on the balcony and gradually fell asleep.

Until his phone rang and pulled him out of his sleep.

Fu Li took the phone and immediately sat up.

“Hello, Tang Yin, what’s wrong? Did something happen?” If nothing happened, Tang Yin would not call him. Fu Li was nervous immediately.

“Where are you?”

“I’m at my parents’ house. What’s wrong?” As he spoke, he got up to put on his clothes. He was worried that something had happened to Tang Yin.

“I’m at our old place. Come over.”

“Okay, wait for me.” Fu Li left the villa in a hurry. Mrs. Fu, who was preparing to sleep, felt a headache when she saw him.

“Where are you going again? It’s so late at night.

“Hmph, where else can he go? Who do you think can make him so anxious?” Fu Li’s father knew his son very well.

“Sigh, what an ill-fated relationship. I wonder when our son will get married.” Madam Fu had a headache whenever she thought of Fu Li’s relationship. She really did not know when this child would succeed.

There was no one on the streets at night. Fu Li drove at the fastest speed and quickly arrived at the old apartment.

He knocked on the door. Footsteps came from inside the house. The door opened.

“Are you okay?” Fu Li looked at Tang Yin in concern, then was stunned. Tang Yin was already good-looking. She should have specially dressed up today, making her look even more beautiful and moving.

“Come in.” Tang Yin opened the door and made way for Fu Li.

“Did Liu Xingchuan bully you again?” Through Tang Yin’s reaction and her attire, Fu Li immediately thought that Tang Yin might have just returned after seeing Liu Xingchuan. Although his heart ached dully, Fu Li could not help but want to ask if Liu Xingchuan had bullied her.

Tang Yin sat on the sofa and shook her head.

“Then what’s wrong with you? Is there a problem with your work? Or is it something else? You and…” Fu Li was halfway through his sentence when Tang Yin suddenly pounced into his arms.

Fu Li was stunned. “What’s wrong?”

“Fu Li,” Tang Yin said.

“Tell me, if there’s anything, let’s settle it together.” Fu Li wanted to pat Tang Yin’s back, but he was afraid that she would misunderstand him, so he could only place his hands in midair awkwardly.

“Hug me.”

Tang Yin’s words successfully made Fu Li put down his hand. Fu Li reached out and hugged Tang Yin tightly.

Even if it was just a moment of warmth, he did not want to let it go.

“Do you still like me?” Feeling Fu Li’s strong heartbeat, Tang Yin smiled.

“I do. Of course I do. I always have.” I have liked you since we first met more than a decade ago. It had never changed in all these years. “Why are you asking?”

“I wanted to ask you if you’re willing to have a girlfriend?” Tang Yin sat up from Fu Li’s arms. This time, Fu Li was the only person in her bright eyes.

“Say that again.” Fu Li could not believe it.

“I said, are you willing to have a-” Before Tang Yin could finish speaking, Fu Li pulled her into his arms.

“I’m willing, I’m willing even if I die. You have no idea how long I’ve waited for you to say this.” Hugging Tang Yin tightly, Fu Li felt that his entire embrace was filled with her.

Sensing the joy in Fu Li’s heart, Tang Yin was also happy.

Over the past few days, she had been thinking about how she felt about Fu Li.

After knowing that Fu Li was actually not sick that day, the first feeling she had was relief. Since Fu Li was healthy, she did not feel so guilty anymore.

Then, she lived here herself. The number of times she thought of Fu Li increased. She felt that even if she did not feel guilty, she was willing to give Fu Li a chance with her.

“Ah Yin.” After the two of them confessed their feelings for each other, Fu Li stayed behind directly. Now that they were sleeping together on the single bed, it seemed a little crowded. The two of them could only stick close to each other to not fall.

“Mm.” Leaning into Fu Li’s arms, Tang Yin felt that she was reconciling with the past.

“I’m really very happy. Really. I’ve never been so happy. Will I wake up tomorrow morning and realize that it’s a dream?” Fu Li was a little afraid that this was a dream.

“Then sleep first and see it tomorrow morning.” After so many years, Tang Yin finally saw Fu Li’s childish side again. She was very emotional.

“Okay, good night, Ah Yin.” Fu Li lowered his head, wanting to kiss Tang Yin’s face, but he recalled the nightmares Tang Yin had experienced.

Fu Li thought that it was already very good if Tang Yin did not resist his contact now.

“Goodnight.” Tang Yin did not know that Fu Li had so many thoughts and fell asleep herself.

Fu Li was in a half-asleep state the entire night. When the sky lit up the next day, Fu Li opened his eyes. He looked into his arms and saw that Tang Yin was sleeping soundly.

The sunlight shone in through the window, bringing with it a warm temperature. Fu Li felt that only now did he really have a sense of authenticity. Tang Yin had not woken up, but Fu Li could not sleep anymore. He seriously examined this woman he had loved for more than ten years.

After a while, someone knocked on the door.

Fu Li patted Tang Yin’s back to comfort her, then got out of bed to open the door.

“Tang Yin, you like to eat-” Liu Xingchuan carried a pile of breakfast and was about to enter excitedly, but he stopped when he saw Fu Li, who was wearing slippers and pajamas.
