You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Jiang Che ultimately couldn't persuade Su Qinghe.

Who can resist a little girl with red eyes, tugging at your clothes and pitifully begging you not to leave?

He simply couldn't hold on.

Even though he knew this was a little trick Su Qinghe used to keep him, he could only accept it.

So Jiang Che carried Su Qinghe's quilt back to his own bed in his bedroom, and then skillfully threw his own bedding roll on the floor.

Just as they were about to spread it out, Su Qinghe's weak voice came from behind them, "The ground is hard..."

Jiang Che continued working without turning his head, "It's alright. With solid wood flooring worth hundreds of thousands and two layers of mattresses, it's not much different from sleeping on a bed."

He's a grown man, not that delicate. Sleeping on the floor or in a bed makes no difference to him.

Besides, sleeping on the floor is better than the two of them squeezing into one bed, right?

If something were to actually escalate into a conflict, that would be truly unmanageable.

Jiang Che himself didn't think it was a big deal, but Su Qinghe was not having it.

Just hearing the sound of beds being made on the floor made her anxious.

Sister Bai said that if she couldn't sleep in the same bed with Jiang Che, she wouldn't be able to develop feelings for him or let him get used to her presence.

She bit her lower lip and groped her way down, saying, "If you sleep on the floor, I'll sleep on the floor too."

Jiang Che, who was tidying up the pillows, stopped what he was doing when he heard this. He turned around and saw that the little darling had one foot on the floor and half of his body was hanging in the air, swaying so precariously that it made his eyelids twitch.

"Su Qinghe!"

Jiang Che was so frightened that he quickly threw away the pillow, took two steps over, scooped the person back up, and tucked them back into the quilt.

"What are you doing? You're such a delicate little girl, why are you trying to sleep on the floor like me?"

Su Qinghe pouted and huddled unhappily under the covers. She didn't say anything, just stubbornly "looked" at him, as if to say, "If you sleep on the floor, I'll stay with you."

Jiang Che was completely convinced. This girl usually looked soft and easy to bully, but when she got stubborn, nothing could change her mind.

"Fine, fine, I give up."

Jiang Che took a deep breath, bent down and picked up all the pillows and blankets on the floor, then threw them onto the big bed.

Fortunately, his bed was very large, a two-meter-wide double bed, with more than enough space for two people to sleep.

However, just to be on the safe side, Jiang Che grabbed a long cushion and placed it across the middle of the bed, clearly dividing it into two halves.

"Look, we'll each take half; this is the Chu River and Han Border."

Jiang Che pointed to the cushion and solemnly established the rule, "Anyone who crosses the line is a little dog, you hear me?"

Su Qinghe followed Jiang Che's direction and quickly found the pillow. A trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes.

But she knew in her heart that she couldn't cross too many of Jiang Che's bottom lines at once, so she could only purse her lips and nod.

Jiang Che turned off the overhead light, leaving only a dim bedside lamp, then lifted the covers and lay down.

The mattress beneath me was soft and comfortable, much more comfortable than the hard floor.

The two slept together in bed, separated by a pillow, and the room became quiet.

"Um..." After a while, Jiang Che suddenly spoke up.

He put his hands behind his head and looked at the ceiling. "Tomorrow is Monday, I have to go to school, so I'll leave early in the morning."

When Su Qinghe heard the word "school," her expression was a mixture of expectation and sadness.

That was the place she had always longed for. Going to school every day meant that she could temporarily escape that home and experience a carefree school life.

The sadness stems from the fact that it seems she will now be unable to return to school.

But Su Qinghe's mood quickly returned to happiness. Although she couldn't go to school now, school was no longer the only place where she could be carefree.

Jiang Che didn't notice the girl's expression beside him; he was still considering whether or not to let her go to school with him tomorrow.

After thinking for a moment, he continued to Su Qinghe, "You should stay at home for now and don't think about going back to school."

"Firstly, you are blind, which would make going to school in many ways inconvenient. Also, we are not in the same class, so I can't take care of you."

"Secondly, there are many rumors circulating about you at school, and I'm worried about you going there."

Su Qinghe felt a warmth in her heart and obediently hummed in agreement. He was doing it for her own good.

"Besides, with the intelligence of our Suzhou University's campus belle, she could be just as smart even if she studied at home," Jiang Che said with a light smile, turning his head to the side.

"Anyway, you've already finished learning everything in high school. Now it's just a matter of reviewing. Just stay home and take care of your health. You can take the college entrance exam next year."

"Anyway, I think with your brains, you could still be number one in the grade even if you skipped a few months of classes."

Hearing his generous affirmation, Su Qinghe felt a little embarrassed and softly hummed in agreement.

She didn't know if her self-study was useful, but she would obediently follow his instructions.

"Okay, let's go to sleep."

Jiang Che yawned and reached out to turn off the bedside lamp.

The room was plunged into complete darkness.

Jiang Che was probably tired from shopping all day, and soon felt sleepy.

A few minutes later, the sound of even, long breathing could be heard.

But Su Qinghe was not sleepy at all. She lay awake in the darkness, listening intently to the sounds around her.

One sound, two sounds, three sounds.

Only after confirming that Jiang Che was truly asleep did she take any action.

The hand carefully reached out from under the blanket and touched the cushion that was between the two of them.

This annoying Chu-Han border.

Su Qinghe carefully held her breath, then gently and slowly pinched one corner of the pillow.

Little by little, push it towards the bedside.

The thud of the pillow hitting the ground signifies that there are no longer any barriers between the two.

The girl slowly moved her body, moving closer to the heat source beside her.

Closer.

Closer.

Until I was completely nestled into that broad, warm embrace.

Her nostrils were filled with Jiang Che's fresh and pleasant scent, mixed with the fragrance of his shower gel, making every cell in her body tremble involuntarily.

Su Qinghe pressed her small face tightly against his chest, listening to the steady and powerful heartbeat inside.

Boom, boom, boom.

It's very solid, very stable, and gives you a great sense of security.

She reached out and gently wrapped her arms around Jiang Che's slender waist.

A strong desire to completely possess this person grew wildly in the darkness.

He is hers.

No one can take it away.

Even if it means using such dishonorable methods, even if it means pretending to be pitiful for a lifetime.

She would stay by his side no matter what, refusing to let go even if it meant death.
