On the morning of April 4th, at exactly ten o’clock, sirens and alarms wailed in every corner of the country, lasting for a brief, solemn three minutes…
This battlefield without smoke was still raging. Countless people had sacrificed their lives in the fight, and all people could do now was mourn and remember; the wounds were still too fresh to be healed so quickly.
Time never stops flowing, and the best tribute one can offer the fallen is to strive to live on…
In the blink of an eye, it was already mid-April.
Days of online classes were incredibly dull. The girl spent almost all her time “fishing”—she would keep her phone logged into the classes while she focused on writing and saving up chapters for her novel.
Of course, whenever Qin Nanfeng’s laptop was free, she would use his computer. However, since it was just a thin-and-light ultrabook with mediocre performance, any major online game lagged intensely, making for a frustrating experience.
Simple web games, however, were more than manageable. She loved finding two-player mini-games to play with Qin Nanfeng, and she actually had a lot of fun. The only issue was that Lin Xinyuan lost far more than she won, which often left her feeling a bit depressed…
It was one thing to be inferior to Qin Nanfeng in everything else, but even in a simple mini-game, she was being utterly crushed. To make matters worse, he never went easy on her—the more miserably she lost, the happier he laughed.
Lin Xinyuan couldn’t say anything about it; a loss was a loss, and her inexplicable pride made it impossible for her to throw a tantrum or beg him to let her win.
Acting spoiled or cute… I’m definitely not doing that…
Even though she had been cooped up in the room every day, perhaps because of a certain someone’s presence, Lin Xinyuan didn’t feel bored. Instead, she felt a sense of quiet, peaceful stability. Being able to see him every day while her family remained healthy… for the girl, this was already the pinnacle of happiness.
But this beautiful time couldn’t last forever—
From the moment she woke up today, Lin Xinyuan felt inexplicably irritable, and her spirit remained listless throughout the day. She couldn’t write, she didn’t hear a single word of her online classes, and she couldn’t even muster an interest in games.
Part of it was due to her period, but the bigger reason was a certain guy!
Tianbei City had been de-fanged (unlocked) a while ago. It seemed there was business to attend to at his company; Qin Nanfeng had completed the inter-provincial epidemic procedures early on and booked a flight. He was leaving tomorrow…
In Zhannan City during April, the weather liked to do as it pleased. While yesterday had been damp and freezing, today had turned sweltering, making even the chirping of insects at night sound noisy and chaotic.
Inside the dark room, only a single bedside lamp remained lit. Its warm yellow glow reflected on a man and a woman sleeping curled up against each other.
“What’s wrong? Can’t sleep?”
Feeling the restless person in his arms, Qin Nanfeng stroked her fluffy head and spoke softly. He naturally guessed the reason. Although he felt reluctant to leave as well, this was inevitable.
He had things he had to do. Even if he didn’t technically need to work hard, it was a way to prove himself to his past self… and for his future life with Xinyuan.
Is it foolish…? But he relied on his… or rather, that guy’s intuition… and he had already achieved the initial steps.
Hearing Qin Nanfeng’s voice, the girl didn’t respond immediately. She only hugged his arm a little tighter. He wasn’t in a hurry; he simply waited quietly for an answer.
“I don’t want you to go…”
After a long silence, Lin Xinyuan finally spoke. Her voice was softer and thinner than usual, her low spirits impossible to hide. She slowly lifted her gaze, biting her lower lip gently. Her watery eyes held a trace of longing as she gazed at Qin Nanfeng.
The moment her eyes met his starlit ones, Lin Xinyuan instinctively wanted to look away, but in the end, she managed to control herself. She blinked hard, trying to soothe the shyness in her heart, her expression stubbornly cute.
“Xinyuan, you really are clingy…”
Qin Nanfeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. As he spoke, he leaned in closer and kissed her fair cheek, then patted her slender back as if coaxing a child. “Don’t worry. School starts in about ten days anyway. Won’t you see me then?”
“Mgh…”
Hearing herself described as clingy made Lin Xinyuan’s face heat up. But realizing what he said next, she turned her face away unhappily, clearly unsatisfied with his answer.
She didn’t say anything, though; she simply allowed him to kiss her face, soft murmurs occasionally escaping her pink lips. She knew school was starting soon, but even so, the thought of being apart for over half a month… her heart found it hard to accept or adapt to.
After all, after these two months of being together—and… and sleeping together almost every day—she had long since grown used to a life with Qin Nanfeng in it. When a habit suddenly leaves, especially one extremely important to you, even a separation of a day or two can be hard to bear.
Before she knew it, Qin Nanfeng’s lips had pulled away.
He stared intensely at the shy girl before him who had her eyes closed. Feeling her soft body which couldn’t stop trembling slightly, he couldn’t help but sigh.
“Xinyuan, you’re so sweet…”
Every time they were intimate, his Xinyuan was always like this—shy and sensitive, so cute it was lethal.
With that thought, a certain place began to stir again. It was uncontrollable, clamoring to break through its seal. Because their bodies were pressed so close, Lin Xinyuan noticed the change almost instantly.
That large… iron rod pressing against her abdomen?
The girl’s cheeks, already flushed from the kiss, turned a deep crimson instantly. She hissed in a low, flustered voice: “Ugh… you… pervert!”
She could feel that bulging spot… actually continuing to… expand?
Lin Xinyuan fell into a panic, her heart filled with extreme bashfulness. The previously warm atmosphere was completely ruined by this guy, and the air was suddenly thick with a sweet, heavy tension…
Seeing the girl’s state of utter embarrassment, Qin Nanfeng had no intention of reining himself in. Instead, the spark in his heart made him even more bold. He pulled Lin Xinyuan—who was trying to push him away to create distance—back into a tight embrace, bringing them closer so she could feel his heat more clearly.
Qin Nanfeng’s smile was mischievous. “I’m actually curious, Xinyuan. Why do you think I’m a pervert?”
“I… I… I don’t know…”
Lin Xinyuan was becoming incoherent. Even through several layers of clothing, the sensation at her waist and abdomen was unmistakable. She felt so flushed that her whole body felt weak, and her thighs instinctively began to rub against each other…
Her head was buzzing. Realizing her body’s reaction made her even more lost. She wanted it to stop, but the indescribable throb tormented her until she felt mentally exhausted.
“Anyway… you just… are… a pervert!”
Hearing the trembling trail of Lin Xinyuan’s voice, Qin Nanfeng’s smile grew even more radiant. He extended his index finger and gently traced the girl’s soft, pink lips.
His voice was clear and magnetic: “Tell me, do perverts like eating sweets?”
Before Lin Xinyuan could answer, he continued, “If Xinyuan’s face is this sweet, your mouth must not be bad either, right…?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful heat pressed down on her.
“Mmmph…”
Before Lin Xinyuan could react, the air in her mouth was snatched away. She could only flutter her hands, letting out helpless whimpers.
Initially, she wanted to resist and struggle, but thinking of the upcoming separation, the hidden love in her heart allowed her to gradually calm down. Gradually, she began to respond with an unusual amount of effort.
She just wanted to feel Qin Nanfeng’s warmth in this moment before they parted, venting the emotions in her heart.
Brother Feng… Mm… Brother Feng… I like you… You have to remember not to look at those other people… you’re not allowed, not allowed… Wait for me…
Qin Nanfeng could faintly feel the insecurity in the girl’s heart, and his own chest tightened. He increased the intensity of his hold, wanting only to give the person in his arms more warmth.
In this moment, the two were completely submerged in each other’s tenderness, unable to pull away…
