As the small double bed slowly appeared and finally secured itself against the wall, Liu Zixuan stood there petrified.

A solitary man and woman in a room.

The atmosphere was already slightly ambiguous.

Now with a bed suddenly appearing, even if there were no such thoughts before, those thoughts began to sprout in one’s mind now.

"This... this is where I usually come to rest."

Bei Meiyin lowered her head slightly, her cheeks blushing bright red, almost as if water could drip from them.

Liu Zixuan slowly turned his head to look, grinning: "Seems like it really takes fifty million to buy me for a night."

"What are you talking about?" Bei Meiyin was even more shy, shaking her head playfully, instinctively looking up to explain, only to see Liu Zixuan already walking over.

Men, having seen a hundred flowers bloom and tired of exotic flowers, suddenly encountering a quiet peony also brings a fresh flavor.

This isn’t to say that Bei Meiyin is inferior to other girls, but her outfit today was slightly understated; because the room was warm, she had taken off her black down jacket, revealing a short blue top underneath.

Her shoulder-length hair hung casually, perfectly highlighting her beautiful face.

Below the V-neck, a tantalizing cleavage was faintly visible, drawing Liu Zixuan’s gaze; her jade-like skin as soft and tender as a baby’s.

Her slender legs crossed gracefully on the carpet, exuding an aura of elegance.

Women, when too ethereal, seem unreachable; when overly seductive, appear too out of place.

Yet this faint makeup and simple attire was very down-to-earth; in such a setting, Bei Meiyin’s aura couldn’t help but attract Liu Zixuan.

Liu Zixuan sat beside Bei Meiyin, instinctively smoothing her soft hair. The faint fragrance was extremely comforting as he lifted the corners of his mouth.

This kind of affectionate action left Bei Meiyin unsure of what to do, her palms involuntarily sweating, too nervous to know what to say or do.

Seeing the coffee slowly cooling, she finally found a topic to start with, quickly picking it up and handing it to Liu Zixuan: "Drink it quickly, or it’ll get cold."

"Coffee can always be refilled, but such a fine time is not to be missed."

Liu Zixuan smiled warmly, and his hand, previously on her hair, slowly moved down to rest on her waist, gently pulling the lovely girl into his arms.

His lips paused slightly, then imprinted on those enchanting red lips.

In that moment, as if the air stopped flowing and time ceased passing, Bei Meiyin’s previously widened eyes gradually turned dreamy, instinctively raising her hands to hug Liu Zixuan’s neck.

This kiss was full of love.

And the following matters naturally came to pass.

Because it was the beginning of love, everything was filled with tenderness.

There was no such urgency leading to crudeness.

Liu Zixuan, just like a gardener, accompanied by the morning sun, earnestly watching the budding flower slowly bloom.

Not missing a single detail, not overlooking a single expression.

After the warmth, Bei Meiyin looked blissfully at Liu Zixuan’s chest, whispering softly: "I thought you’d never come back after leaving the Celestial Capital."

"With such a beautiful lady like you here, how could I not come back?" Liu Zixuan played with her silky hair, smiling lightly.

"Always teasing. Then why didn’t you call me at all when you went to Qian Nan for so long?" Bei Meiyin pouted and asked.

Liu Zixuan chuckled: "Since you’re this angry, how about I take you with me to Ghost Wood City tomorrow as punishment?"

"Go to Ghost Wood City?" Bei Meiyin pondered carefully and slapped Liu Zixuan’s arm: "You guy, talking about punishment, but why does it sound like you’re benefiting from it!"

"Between men and women, who benefits, right?" Liu Zixuan grinned mischievously, turning to hug Bei Meiyin: "After a whole afternoon of work, I’m a bit tired, I’ll take a nap first."

"Mm." Bei Meiyin murmured softly, gently pulling a sheet over them.

Liu Zixuan closed his eyes to rest, but Bei Meiyin, filled with deep happiness, couldn’t fall asleep for a long time.

She slightly raised her head, gazing at that handsome face, momentarily lost in thought. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Silently thinking: Clearly just a boy’s appearance, yet always acting so mature, you know, seeing you so exhausted, does it ever occur to you that I’d feel heartache too?

Love is such a mysterious thing.

Even all the divine beings and sages of ancient and modern times can’t define it completely.

But at that moment, in Bei Meiyin’s heart, love was simply nestled in his arms, feeling his unique breath, waiting together for the sunrise.

...

The next morning, when Liu Zixuan opened his eyes, Bei Meiyin had already prepared breakfast for him, sitting at the table like a virtuous wife waiting.

"You’re awake?" Bei Meiyin handed over clothes to Liu Zixuan.

Liu Zixuan put on his clothes and sat at the table: "Running around so much without a regular rest, suddenly relaxing like this feels a bit unfamiliar!"

"Actually, not everything needs to be done perfectly; in the world, not everything goes as planned, as long as you’re at peace, it suffices."

Bei Meiyin said, bringing the breakfast over to Liu Zixuan and advising him.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you. Do what needs to be done and set aside whatever can be ignored!" Liu Zixuan smiled contentedly, eating breakfast.

After breakfast, Liu Zixuan’s phone rang; it was Ruyan asking when he’d return to Ghost Wood City.

Though the Celestial Capital was nice, Liu Ruyan and the others hadn’t lived here, making it somewhat uncomfortable for them.

Liu Zixuan replied briefly and hung up the phone, turning to Bei Meiyin with a smile: "Tell your dad, let’s go back to Ghost Wood City together today, spend the festival at Lingxiu Village."

"I won’t be going."

Bei Meiyin shook her head: "There’s a big pile of things to handle at the antique shop here, and before the festival, I have to go back to my hometown with my dad to pay respects to our ancestors. After the festival, I’ll come find you."

"Really not going?"

"I’d love to, but I’m helplessly tied down now." Bei Meiyin smiled wistfully.

Liu Zixuan tapped her nose: "Then try harder, make sure to give me a chubby son by next year; by then, your father will have no choice but to let you come home with me for the festival."

"I’m not having a kid for you!" Bei Meiyin handed the car keys to Liu Zixuan and sat in the passenger seat.

Liu Zixuan grinned, stepping on the gas and heading straight for Yuquan Bar.

Though reluctant, circumstances leave no choice. They can only wait until everything else is done to share that warmth once more.
