While Pei Shi Yu went to the bathroom to wash up, I picked up my suitcase and walked into the room. Suddenly, the door next door opened.

Then I saw Pei Xiang Long standing in the doorway and asking, "Aren't you going back today?"

"No."

Hearing my straightforward answer, he looked in the direction of the bathroom and said, "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. You can ask Shi Yu if you don't understand anything in the company."

"Okay, got it."

"That..." Pei Xiang Long seemed to want to say something else.

I looked at him curiously and asked, "If you have something, just tell me."

"Nothing, get some rest." In the end, it turned into a word of concern.

Staring at him as he walked into his room, I picked up my suitcase again and put it in a corner. The room was still the same as always. The curtains were open, and the moonlight shone into the room. I reached out and dimmed the lights, and the whole room immediately looked very romantic.

When Pei Shi Yu came in after taking a shower, she saw me standing quietly by the window...

"Why are the lights so dim?"

"It's just right this way."

Then I walked over and pulled her over, pointing to the distant starry sky and saying, "Do you see that? That star is particularly bright."

Pei Shi Yu glanced in the direction I was pointing, and said a little disappointedly, "What time is it? Aren't you tired?"

"I feel awake. Do you have to go to work tomorrow?" I asked casually.

"I'll sleep in a little later before going to the company."

"Your dad is going on a business trip tomorrow. He told me to ask you if there's anything I need help with at the company."

"Then I need to sleep." Pei Shi Yu yawned.

I turned around and looked at the sky and said, "Why don't you have any romance?"

"When have I ever been romantic?"

"I guess you haven't." I replied, following her meaning.

Pei Shi Yu, who had already turned around, suddenly turned back and looked at me, asking, "Were your ex-girlfriends very romantic?"

This question stumped me, because I had never had a serious relationship. Since being with Pei Shi Yu, she had never asked me about my feelings. Was she too confident, or was she not interested in my past relationships? It was hard for me to figure her out.

"With my old, pathetic self, do you think I had anything to do with romance?" I replied self-deprecatingly.

"I suddenly want to ask you a question."

"Ask away."

"Tell the truth."

"Depends on the question." I replied with a bit of foreboding.

"It's a simple question."

"Ask it first."

"How many girlfriends have you had?"

"None." I answered Pei Shi Yu without thinking.

"Hmm?"

"Satisfied?"

Pei Shi Yu didn't answer whether she was satisfied or not. It seemed that she wasn't very interested in my past. Fortunately, she asked about girlfriends. If she had asked about women, it would have been very difficult for me to answer.

I originally thought it was a romantic night, but after the conversation just now, I walked straight to the bed and started taking off my clothes. I had been taking care of Pei Shi Yu for a while, so I had been sleeping here. That's why Pei Xiang Long didn't drive me away just now.

"Why don't we move to Zhijiang Road tomorrow?" Pei Shi Yu asked after getting into bed.

"What about your dad?"

"Let him choose. If he wants to move over, he can live with us."

"I can live at my place too. Living separately would be more free."

"I don't think I've ever thought about living at your place."

"Why?" I stared at her and asked.

"Because I have two places to live here."

"Whatever, it's good that the house is yours. It's even better for me to live in a ready-made one."

"I'll take you to see the place on Zhijiang Road tomorrow. I really like living there."

"Your dad is going on a business trip tomorrow. We can just live there directly."

At this time, Pei Shi Yu was lying flat. I got into the quilt and looked at her sideways. She was noticeably thinner, and her chin was sharper. I reached out and touched her left cheek, but her skin was very smooth...

"I suddenly feel like you have a lot of responsibility." I said with a distressed tone.

"Yeah, I didn't feel it when my brother was around. He handled everything. Since he left, it feels like I'm being forced to mature. I felt really overwhelmed when my dad was in the hospital."

"Luckily you have me." I joked with a smile.

Pei Shi Yu suddenly looked into my eyes and said, "I still don't quite understand why I ended up with you."

"Regret it?"

"I wouldn't say regret. It doesn't seem to fit my original criteria for a partner."

Pei Shi Yu was telling the truth. Sometimes I feel that way myself. What is she looking for in someone like me?

"There's no turning back now, right? I'll only feel at ease when we get married."

As I spoke, I lay flat on my back, staring at the ceiling light. I felt lucky. The scar on my face from her scratch last year had left a faint mark, a permanent imprint, as if constantly reminding me that it was a hard-won love.

"Sleep." Pei Shi Yu also lay down like me.

"Shouldn't we cultivate some feelings tonight?"

"It's already past midnight."

I quietly took her right hand. The night was indeed very late, and Pei Shi Yu was indeed very tired. I reached out and turned off the lights in time. I didn't draw the curtains, so the room was still filled with a faint moonlight. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to sink my body down and prepare to fall asleep early...

At this time, Pei Shi Yu put her hand on my waist and said, "Why are you sighing?"

I grabbed her hand and retorted, "It's a deep breath, not a sigh."

Suddenly... Pei Shi Yu took the initiative to kiss my lips. My originally calm heart made me open my eyes immediately, just in time to meet her eyes, very dark, like a ghost. After looking at each other for a while, I reached out and stroked her loose hair. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to kiss me since we got together. I immediately took the initiative, gently pressing her head and deepening the kiss...

Recently, we hadn't been intimate for a long time. Plus, Pei Shi Yu had been away for so long, and the passion ignited all over my body. Every time with Pei Shi Yu... I always felt that it was a deep union of souls...

Maybe it was because I just said she had no romance, so Pei Shi Yu made me feel particularly enthusiastic tonight, completely opposite to her previous restrained appearance.

Afterwards, I looked at Pei Shi Yu sideways, and she fell asleep in a short while, but I was very awake. I quietly looked at her, and there was no doubt that this was an extremely beautiful face. The delicate features made people's hearts flutter, and there was a feeling that I would never get tired of looking at her. Suddenly, I thought of the child I hadn't met yet. If they really came into this world, I believe they would definitely be a beautiful child, inheriting our good genes...
