Peng Fei Fei was so tall.
When he stood up and embraced her from behind, he could completely encircle Zhan Jing Chun in his arms.
Shrinking completely into his embrace, she felt incredibly petite and dependent, incredibly secure, and incredibly happy.
Zhan Jing Chun hadn't experienced this feeling in a long time. Although she cherished it, her rationality remained.
Peng Fei's body hadn't fully recovered. He had been in a wheelchair when he left, so how could he suddenly stand up? Wasn't he afraid of complications?
She cautiously turned back, about to question Peng Fei's recklessness, when a large hand cupped the back of her head, and Peng Fei's lips quickly and precisely covered hers.
How to describe that feeling?
It was a long-lost tingling sensation, as if her whole body had been electrified, stunning her.
Zhan Jing Chun instantly lost the ability to resist, and she didn't want to resist at all.
She indulged in it, letting Peng Fei pick her up and carry her back to bed.
Afterward, looking at Peng Fei, who was covered in sweat, Zhan Jing Chun finally remembered to scold him.
"Are you trying to die? You've just gotten a little better and you're already this impatient. What if you reopen your wound?"
"Also, when did you learn to stand? You needed me to serve you food and drinks this morning, and now all of a sudden... Oh, I get it. You were already better, weren't you? You were deliberately playing weak to gain my sympathy!"
"Hmph, you must have felt great watching me attend to you hand and foot, thinking you needed to find an opportunity to repay me for taking care of me before, right?"
Peng Fei wanted to say, by heaven, he had only recently discovered he could stand.
He had intended to tell her, but Zhan Jing Chun had taken such good, meticulous care of him. He enjoyed that feeling so much, wanting to cling to it for one more second, that he couldn't bear to say anything.
Moreover, Zhan Jing Chun not only served him food and water, but also personally helped him bathe and clean his body.
Being seen by her from head to toe every day, as a normal man in his prime, he had long been unable to resist his desires.
Today, he had only intended to give her a surprise, but he hadn't been able to stop himself.
"Today is my 24th birthday."
Peng Fei, unable to retort to her scolding, buried his head in her neck and said in a muffled voice.
"I'm sorry. Consider it my birthday gift to you. Please don't scold me anymore, okay?"
In all the time they had known each other, Zhan Jing Chun hadn't known his birthday.
"Today is your birthday? Then why didn't you say so earlier? I only bought a fish when I went out. If you had told me, I would have bought you more delicious food."
But Peng Fei didn't want delicious food.
He had eaten so much recently, making up for all the deficiencies of the past 20-odd years.
"I don't want delicious food. I just want to eat you, Chun Chun. Can you..."
To be honest, Zhan Jing Chun was also finding it hard to resist.
Although Peng Fei had been in a wheelchair for four months, eating and drinking without exercise, his accumulated muscles were still there.
Moreover, he ate without gaining weight, his skin became more tender, he became more handsome, and his physique remained unchanged.
Looking at him, touching him every day, she was also very tempted.
"But aren't you tired? What if you hurt yourself..."
"It's fine. If I can't even persist in this, can I still call myself a man?"
They were so engrossed that they skipped lunch. They played around, slept when they were tired, and only came out of the room in the evening.
The nanny wasn't foolish. She could roughly guess what they were doing in the room and felt embarrassed to call them, but she was secretly worried.
She thought: Peng Fei has only just started, and they're already doing this... What if he ruins his health...
Both of their phones were left outside. Since it was Peng Fei's birthday, Peng Fei's mother had called several times.
As neither of their phones was answered, they thought something had happened and called Tian Tian.
Thinking that Peng Fei and Chun Chun were fine and just playing at home every day, why weren't they answering the phone?
Tian Tian also thought something had happened and came over personally.
As a result, she turned bright red upon arrival.
The nanny said that the two of them had been cooped up in the room since nine in the morning and refused to come out.
"Sigh, they're young after all. They really don't care about their lives. Tian Tian, I can't say it, but as an older sister, you have to persuade them."
Tian Tian didn't know what to say.
Although she was their sister, she had also been young and passionate. Frankly, she understood.
Since things had reached this point, and both sets of parents had no objections, and today was a good day, Tian Tian decided to call Zhan Bei Jue and Jiang Nan Fang over.
Zhan Jing Chun and Peng Fei woke up at four in the afternoon. Looking at their watches, it was still early. They lingered for a while longer, then washed up and came out around six o'clock.
They walked out hand in hand, their faces beaming with happiness, radiating affection.
Unexpectedly, when they reached the living room, their father, mother, and sister were all there. The two of them were startled, and their faces immediately changed. They quickly let go of each other's hands.
Seeing their guilty expressions, the few who knew the truth felt a bit awkward.
Their father and mother looked away, and it was Tian Tian who greeted them.
"Peng Fei has only just recovered a little. Don't overdo it. How can you not eat all day? We made food long ago, but we didn't dare to call you. Come and eat quickly."
"Peng Fei, today is your 24th birthday. Auntie called you several times, but you didn't answer. Please call her back after dinner."
"I ordered a cake for you. Come, blow out the candles and make a wish before eating."
They had already troubled the Zhan family enough recently. Peng Fei hadn't expected Zhan Bei Jue and Jiang Nan Fang to personally attend his birthday, and he blushed profusely.
"Uncle, Auntie..."
Tian Tian said, "Still Uncle and Auntie? What stage are we at? Are you planning to continue messing around with my sister without any clear commitment? Speaking of which, you're both almost 25 in terms of age. Some things need to be done. When are you planning to get married?"
Peng Fei was surprised: "Ah?"
He was very willing to marry Zhan Jing Chun.
But with his current circumstances...
Tian Tian interrupted him: "What 'ah'? As long as you sincerely treat Chun Chun well, the Zhan family doesn't lack your insignificant contributions. Consider it as marrying into our family. You'll always live in Nancheng with Chun Chun. Are you willing?"
Peng Fei, who was lovestruck, heard that he could be with Zhan Jing Chun forever and agreed without a second thought.
"Yes, as long as I can marry Chun Chun, I'm willing to do anything!"
Tian Tian was amused by him: "Oh, you agreed so quickly? Aren't you going to consider it? Your hometown is so traditional. Aren't you afraid your mother won't agree?"
Peng Fei thought Tian Tian still had reservations about his mother and quickly explained seriously.
"No, my mother has changed now. Chun Chun is so good, she'll definitely agree!"
Tian Tian chuckled.
"Alright, don't be so serious. I was just joking. Come and sit down."
She was joking, but Peng Fei didn't want to joke about marriage.
