On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Returning to their cozy little home, the familiar decor and atmosphere allowed Su Yuqing to completely relax.

She kicked off her shoes and stepped barefoot onto the soft carpet, stretching out like a cat returning to its nest.

"Home is still the most comfortable place." She looked around, her gaze falling on the still lush green pothos on the windowsill. "I didn't expect it to grow so well."

Chen Mo gently wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin on the top of her head: "It's thanks to the fact that I left the house to your mother before I left. She comes every week to help clean and water the plants, which is why they are growing so well."

His breath brushed past my ear, carrying a warm scent.

Su Yuqing leaned into his arms, savoring the long-lost intimacy.

"Why don't you take a hot shower to relax?" Chen Mo suggested softly. "I'll run the water for you."

Su Yuqing nodded, watching his retreating figure as he walked towards the bathroom, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.

For the past six months, although they were both in Hunan and Sichuan, they had mostly lived in their own dormitories and rarely had time to be alone together.

Soon the hot water was ready, and Su Yuqing walked into the bathroom. Warm steam filled the air, and the bathtub was filled with water at the perfect temperature.

Su Yuqing took off her clothes and slowly immersed herself in the water. The warmth instantly enveloped her whole body, dispelling the fatigue of the journey and the chill of winter.

She sighed contentedly, leaned against the edge of the bathtub, closed her eyes, and let her thoughts drift away.

The gentle ripples on the water suddenly transported her back to that unforgettable rainy night.

She was soaking wet and disheveled when she knocked on the door of the house, filled with despair and a sliver of hope.

Chen Mo opened the door, bringing her from the cold, rainy night into this warm space.

It was in this bathroom, in this bathtub, that she felt her body, which had been completely frozen, warmed by hot water for the first time in this home, and for the first time, she felt a long-lost sense of security, of being accepted by others.

Back then, how could she have imagined that this temporary haven would truly become her real home, and that the boy who took her in would truly become the person who cared for her and loved her the most in her life!

Memories and reality intertwine, and the helplessness of the past contrasts sharply with the peace and happiness of the present. Tears suddenly stream down my face uncontrollably. On that day, I reached the lowest point in my life, the most unfortunate time, yet I miraculously survived and met the luckiest person!

This filled her heart with gratitude and a deeper love for Chen Mo.

The warm water not only washed away the dust but also cleansed her soul, making her even more grateful for the perfect home God had given her.

When she came out after taking a shower, Chen Mo had already heated up the milk and was sitting on the sofa watching short videos out of boredom.

Seeing her come out drying her wet hair, he naturally got up to get the hairdryer.

"Sit down, I'll blow-dry your hair."

Su Yuqing sat obediently on the carpet in front of the sofa, feeling his slender fingers running through her hair, the warm air from the hairdryer making her squint her eyes in comfort.

"Just now at the hotel, you agreed to attend the university banquet. Was it really your choice?" Chen Mo asked as he gently combed her long hair.

Su Yuqing was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Actually, I don't know either. It's just that seeing how cautious he was, I suddenly felt... maybe I should give him a chance."

"You've forgiven him?"

"There's no question of forgiveness or not. I did do some things I shouldn't have done. After all, it was a new home he and someone else had set up. My frequent visits would cause them trouble, especially since Aunt Lin Shiya and Sister Ya Xi didn't really like me. My frequent visits were like a stranger repeatedly intruding into someone else's home, and I was bound to be kicked out eventually."

"My main disappointment back then was that my father didn't care about me. If he had been willing to chase after me and see me off for a while that day, or even just give me the first umbrella, I probably wouldn't have been so upset." Recalling her feelings that day, Su Yuqing's expression dimmed for a moment, but then she gave Chen Mo a relieved smile. "But it's all in the past now. I've come to terms with it. What's not meant to be will never be. I've found my home now."

She turned around and looked up at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo turned off the hairdryer and leaned down to kiss her forehead.

it is more than words.

Their eyes met, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.

Chen Mo's gaze deepened as he reached out and gently stroked her cheek, his thumb caressing her soft skin.

“It’s been almost half a year since we’ve been alone together in a house like this.” His voice was deep and had a captivating magnetism.

Su Yuqing's cheeks flushed; she understood the deeper meaning behind his words.

Although university dormitory life is fulfilling, it also leaves them with far less time to be alone.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, "I miss it too."

These words were like a fuse being lit, and Chen Mo could no longer restrain himself, lowering his head to capture her lips.

This kiss was different from the usual gentleness; it was passionate and lingering, carrying the longing and desire accumulated over the past six months.

Su Yuqing was pressed against the back of the sofa by him, feeling his burning body temperature and strong heartbeat, and her whole body went limp.

The neckline of her pajamas had been torn open at some point, revealing her delicate collarbone. Chen Mo's kisses fell softly and repeatedly, leaving faint red marks on her fair skin.

"Go to the bedroom..." Su Yuqing reminded him breathlessly, her voice already hoarse with passion.

"I'm going to take a shower first." Chen Mo suddenly realized something, and his face lit up with excitement.

Clearly, Su Yuqing's words were an invitation.

After six months of studying medical knowledge, Su Yuqing has gained a new understanding of the human body.

She no longer cares about before or after marriage. The best interaction of love is when she is deeply in love with the person she loves and both of them are nourished by love.

She had discussed this concept with Chen Mo at school, but the school environment didn't allow it. Although they could find a hotel outside, it was their first time, and going directly to a hotel would be a bit hasty. So the two agreed to discuss it in more detail when they got home.

Now, however, everything has come to fruition.

Chen Mo cheered and rushed into the bathroom. When Su Yuqing saw him like this, she couldn't help but smile with love.

It turns out he endured so much hardship without ever saying a word. I shouldn't have put so many shackles on him in the first place.

She slowly drank her milk, quietly waiting for Chen Mo to come out.

However, Chen Mo took a much longer shower than usual today. He seemed to be mentally preparing himself and giving Su Yuqing enough time to calm down, to ensure that she hadn't impulsively agreed to his request.

Both of them, out of love for each other, tried their best to think from the other's perspective and be tolerant.
