Host! I told you to do a task! I didn't tell you to bbb.

Back at school, Shen Shiyan escorted her to her dormitory building, and the two parted ways after a long, intimate conversation.

As soon as Liu Yunshu returned to her dormitory, she was surrounded by Zhang Qi and two others.

"Yunshu, where did you go last night? You didn't come back all night." Zhang Qi winked at Liu Yunshu.

Liu Yunshu's cheeks flushed instantly, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, her eyes darting erratically towards the window.

"I...I just spent some time with Brother Shiyan. His apartment is close to the school, and it got too late so he didn't come back."

"You stayed for a while?" Lin Weiwei leaned closer and sniffed at her.

"Wait a minute, this outfit of yours... doesn't look like the one you wore yesterday."

Zhang Qi grabbed her wrist, stared at the part of her neck that was mostly covered by the turtleneck sweater, and chuckled.

"Tell me honestly, did you 'eat' our top student from Shenyang University?"

Liu Yunshu, her face flushed, retorted defiantly, "You've already taken advantage of me!"

"Wow—!" Zhang Qi and the other two exclaimed in unison, their eyes wide like saucers.

Lin Weiwei grabbed her arm and shook it: "Wow, sis! Tell me the details! The details!"

"Exactly!" Su Xiao chimed in, "Isn't Shen Xue Shen acting differently than usual? Could he...?"

"Xiaoxiao! How could you..." Liu Yunshu puffed out her cheeks and glared angrily at Su Xiao.

Su Xiao stuck out her tongue after being glared at by Liu Yunshu, but still waited with curiosity for what would happen next.

Liu Yunshu, unable to bear their pestering any longer, blushed crimson and slapped Zhang Qi's arm, saying, "It's like this, like that!"

Just then, Liu Yunshu's phone rang. It was a message from Shen Shiyan: [I have an elective class this afternoon. I'll wait for you at the entrance of the teaching building.]

It was followed by an emoji of a kitten rubbing against someone.

Liu Yunshu looked at the message, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips. Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she replied: 【Okay!】

Zhang Qi leaned over for a look and clicked her tongue, saying, "Look at how sickeningly sweet this is, I'm a single dog and I'm going to die from it."

Liu Yunshu put her phone away and snorted, "Just being all lovey-dovey, what's it to you?"

Seeing her smug expression, Zhang Qi's eyes lit up instantly, and he hugged her tightly, rubbing against her repeatedly.

"Look at that smug little expression, it's so adorable!"

Lin Weiwei and Su Xiao also came over and hugged the two of them, and the dormitory was immediately filled with noisy laughter.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

As soon as Liu Yunshu arrived at the dormitory building, she saw Shen Shiyan standing under the camphor tree.

He was wearing a simple white shirt, the hem fluttering gently in the breeze, and he held a glass of her favorite lemon sparkling water in his hand.

"Have you been waiting long?" She ran over and naturally took his arm.

Shen Shiyan looked down at her, a gentle smile in his eyes: "Just arrived."

He handed her the sparkling water, saying, "I was afraid you'd be thirsty."

The two walked side by side toward the teaching building, encountering many classmates along the way, whose gazes fell upon them with kind smiles.

Some of the girls who knew her secretly gave Liu Yunshu a "good luck" gesture, which made her cheeks flush again.

As they reached the entrance of the teaching building, Shen Shiyan suddenly stopped, reached out to tidy up the stray hairs on her forehead, and his fingertips inadvertently brushed against her cheek: "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make a reservation."

"Anything is fine." Liu Yunshu looked up at him, the sunlight falling on his eyelashes, gilding them with a layer of gold. "As long as I eat with my brother."

Shen Shiyan chuckled and pinched her cheek: "Then I'll take you to that private restaurant we talked about last time tonight."

The bell rang for the elective class. Liu Yunshu tiptoed and quickly kissed him on the cheek, then turned and ran into the teaching building: "See you this afternoon!"

Shen Shiyan touched the spot where she had kissed him, his eyes filled with an irrepressible smile.

Watching her figure disappear around the corner of the corridor, he turned and walked towards his teaching building, his steps light and quick.

After school, Shen Shiyan drove Liu Yunshu towards the private restaurant.

The private restaurant is tucked away in a quiet alley, with a red lantern hanging at the entrance, exuding a rustic charm.

As soon as the two entered, a waitress in a cheongsam greeted them with a smile: "Mr. Shen's reserved table is on the second floor by the window."

The window seat offers a great view, allowing you to see the dim streetlights and pedestrians in the alley.

Shen Shiyan pulled out a chair for her and sat down opposite her after she did so.

"Take a look and see what you'd like to eat." He pushed the menu in front of her. "Don't be shy."

Liu Yunshu picked up the menu, her eyes immediately drawn to the picture of the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish. She tapped it with her fingertip: "I'll take this one!"

They ordered a few more dishes that looked good before pushing the menu back, saying, "That's enough, that's too much, we can't finish it all."

Shen Shiyan looked at the dishes she ordered, which were all light and delicate. He smiled and didn't say much, only asking the waiter to add a serving of her favorite osmanthus sticky rice lotus root.

The dishes were served quickly. The squirrel-shaped mandarin fish was golden in color, topped with a thick sweet and sour sauce, and sprinkled with bright red goji berries and emerald green scallions, making it look very appetizing.

Liu Yunshu picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sweet and sour soup melted on her tongue. It was so delicious that her eyes narrowed.

"How was it?" Shen Shiyan looked at her satisfied expression, his eyes full of smiles.

"Delicious! So delicious!" Liu Yunshu nodded repeatedly, picked up another piece and put it in her mouth. She got up and straddled Shen Shiyan, bringing her lips close to his and looking at him with bright eyes.

Shen Shiyan took the opportunity to put his arm around her waist, chuckled, and leaned in to put the fish she offered into his mouth.

The sweet and sour sauce spread between their lips and teeth, carrying the warmth of her fingertips, making them feel even warmer than the dish itself.

"Hmm, it's quite delicious." Shen Shiyan bit her fingertip, a hint of ambiguity in his eyes. "But it's not as delicious as you."

"Of course!" Liu Yunshu proudly raised her chin and picked up another piece of food with her chopsticks, putting it into her mouth.

Looking at her chubby cheeks, Shen Shiyan couldn't help but reach out and pinch them, his eyes overflowing with tenderness.

He picked up a spoon, scooped some light soup, and brought it to her lips: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Liu Yunshu obediently opened her mouth and took a sip of soup. Suddenly remembering something, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Brother, my roommates all know about what happened last night. They're still asking me for details."

Shen Shiyan's fingertips paused for a moment, then he chuckled softly and gently pinched her waist: "So what did you say?"

"I knew you were amazing!" Liu Yunshu said, looking at him with sparkling eyes.

Shen Shiyan chuckled softly as she amused him, the vibrations in his chest making her feel ticklish.

He tightened his arms around her, pulling her closer, his voice laced with amusement: "Oh? How amazing?"

"It's amazing! Extremely amazing! Super amazing!" Liu Yunshu said, nodding vigorously as if to emphasize that she was telling the absolute truth.

That earnest yet slightly smug look brought an even deeper smile to Shen Shiyan's eyes.

He lowered his head and gently pecked the corner of her lips, his voice deep and teasing: "Looks like my little girl is quite satisfied."

"Of course!" Liu Yunshu raised her chin slightly, like a kitten whose fur had been stroked. "Don't you even know whose boyfriend he is?"

Shen Shiyan chuckled softly, reached out and wiped away a bit of sweet and sour sauce from the corner of her mouth, then picked up a piece of osmanthus-flavored glutinous rice lotus root for her. "Try this, it's freshly made."

After dinner, since it was still early, Shen Shiyan drove her to the suburbs to see the stars.

Shen Shiyan parked the car next to a wide open grassy area and opened the sunroof and trunk.

The back of the car was covered with soft blankets and several fluffy cushions.

Shen Shiyan took out a lunchbox, opened it, and inside were neatly cut strawberries and blueberries, each one plump and full.

Liu Yunshu looked at him with surprise and delight, "When did you prepare this, brother?"

Shen Shiyan smiled and helped her tidy her wind-blown hair: "I picked this up when I went out this afternoon, knowing you like to eat it." He then took out a small gift box.

Liu Yunshu's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the exquisite little gift box, as if they held stars: "What is this?"

Shen Shiyan handed her the gift box and gently squeezed the back of her hand with his fingertips: "Open it and take a look."

She carefully untied the ribbon, lifted the lid, and inside lay a necklace.

A small star pendant hangs from the silver chain, shimmering in the moonlight, with a tiny sapphire embedded in the center of the star.

"Do you like it?" Shen Shiyan's voice was exceptionally gentle in the night. "I knew this necklace would suit you the moment I saw it."

Liu Yunshu gently touched the star pendant with her fingertips; the cool silver chain shone with the soft glow of moonlight.

She looked up, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at Shen Shiyan: "I like it, I really like it."

Shen Shiyan raised his hand to brush aside the hair behind her neck, took the necklace, and gently put it on her.

A silver chain wrapped around her slender neck, and a star pendant rested perfectly in the center of her collarbone, making her skin appear even whiter.

He looked down at the sliver of light, his fingertips gently tracing the edge of the pendant: "It's like wearing a star on my body. My little girl should shine as brightly as the stars."

Liu Yunshu turned and threw herself into his arms, rubbing her cheek against his shirt, her voice as soft as cotton candy: "Then brother is the moon, and will always be with the stars."

"Okay." Shen Shiyan tightened his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said solemnly, "The moon will always revolve around the stars."

What to do? Shen Shiyan is looking more and more tempting, and she's hungry again.

She rolled over and pinned Shen Shiyan beneath her. Liu Yunshu's hair fell beside Shen Shiyan's cheek, carrying a faint scent of gardenias.

She leaned closer, her nose almost touching his, her eyes sparkling with mischief like shattered starlight: "What should we do? Brother, Yun Shu seems hungry again."

Shen Shiyan gently placed his hand on her waist, his fingertips feeling her warmth through the thin fabric of her clothes. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "Then... is there anything else you'd like to eat?"

"I want to eat you." Liu Yunshu's voice was soft and gentle, like a feather brushing against his heart.

As she spoke, she leaned down and placed a fruity kiss on the corner of his lips, starting gently and gradually growing warm and passionate.

Shen Shiyan raised his hand and held the back of her neck, deepening the kiss.

His palms were burning hot as they slowly moved upwards along her waistline, trembling uncontrollably.
