Zhou Bingzhu woke up very early.
In over two years, he had never felt as satisfied while sleeping as he did last night.
The person in his arms was still asleep.
He turned his head and saw Gu Shengyin’s face nestled against his chest.
Her complexion was still pale, but in her sleep, her whole face softened, losing that dayti aloofness that kept people at a distance.
He couldn’t help but lean in and kiss her forehead.
Only in her dreams would she be this docile.
Thinking back on all that happened yesterday, Zhou Bingzhu still found it hard to believe.
It went too smoothly.
It was like preparing to fail countless tis for a difficult goal, only to succeed on the first try.
Looking at the ti, Zhou Bingzhu decided to get up.
He quietly slipped out of bed, carefully tucked the blanket back around the sleeping person, and tiptoed out of the room.
Zhou Bingzhu was cooking porridge in the kitchen.
He was in such a good mood that he even humd a tune.
This was a skill he learned over the past two years, having often fantasized about living with Jiang Lan.
Every morning, just the thought of his lover eating breakfast he made would put him in a good mood.
When he returned to the room with the cooked porridge, Gu Shengyin was already awake.
She was sitting on the bed hugging the blanket.
Not noticing her expression, Zhou Bingzhu said cheerfully, "Awake? Are you hungry? I made porridge for you, do you want to try so?"
Gu Shengyin was earnestly reflecting on her actions from last night. Hearing his words, she put on her signature cold face: "Zhou Bingzhu, last night, you got what you always wanted. When will you let go?"
Zhou Bingzhu’s smile froze on his face.
His incredulous gaze upon Gu Shengyin’s face made her feel like she was the cold-hearted betrayer.
When clearly, she was the bullied one!
Looking at her cold face, the docile person in his arms in the morning seed like a re hallucination to Zhou Bingzhu.
"Jiang Lan, do you think my kindness and affection for you are just an unfulfilled obsession?" he heard himself ask, very calmly.
Gu Shengyin nodded, "Isn’t it?"
The matter-of-fact way she said it gave Zhou Bingzhu an urge to choke her in disbelief.
Just minutes ago, he was imagining their future together, even where to hold the wedding.
Yet, the cold reality slapped him hard.
She didn’t love him at all.
Looking at the woman who made him grit his teeth in anger, Zhou Bingzhu laughed bitterly: "Yes, it is just an obsession. But how is one night enough? At least let have my fill before you leave."
He casually set the bowl on the table and stord out at a fast pace.
In his departing figure, Gu Shengyin could even detect a hint of embarrassnt.
Gu Shengyin was silent for a mont: "System, I feel like I’m really despicable."
The system replied, "Yes, host."
Gu Shengyin continued, "I really feel sorry for him."
The system tentatively suggested, "Then... why not tell him the truth?"
Gu Shengyin shook her head, "No, I think he’s doing well now. Those two years, without , he was doing just fine."
