Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

An indescribable emotion slowly welled up in Liu Yifei's heart.

I feel a little sorry for her.

There's a bit of pride in him too.

There's also something else, an indescribable feeling of being moved.

"That won't do."

Her voice softened unconsciously, carrying a rare hint of reproach.

It was as if she was blaming him for not taking care of himself.

"Your health is your most valuable asset; you can't treat yourself like this."

"It's alright."

Fang Yu waved his hand dismissively, his face showing no sign of taking it seriously.

"Young people should strive as much as they can while they still can."

He made it sound so easy.

But the hint of fatigue in the corners of her eyes, which she "didn't quite hide," was perfectly captured.

It paused for two seconds.

Fang Yu suddenly sat up straighter, and his tone became serious.

"Besides, I need to make money."

Liu Yifei was slightly taken aback.

Fang Yu looked at her with a serious expression.

"I need to work hard to earn money so I can buy a big house sooner."

"Buy a house as big and spacious as yours."

"We also need a really big, really soft sofa."

As he spoke, he looked down and patted the high-end leather sofa beneath him.

"It has to be bigger and softer than this."

Looking at his earnest plan for the future, Liu Yifei felt another surge of emotion welling up inside her.

She's even started imagining things.

Someday in the future.

Fang Yu stood in his own house, waving to her with a grin.

He said, "Wife, come inside."

Just thinking about it made Liu Yifei's heart pound.

The next second...

Fang Yu continued in a tone full of longing, even tinged with humility:

"I really... really want to know..."

"What's it like to sleep in a house as big as yours?"

"..."

The living room was quiet for two seconds.

The string in Liu Yifei's mind called "being moved".

Snapped.

broken.

Those feelings of heartache, pride, and daydreams about the future...

In that instant, it was all gone.

All that remained was an impulse so familiar it couldn't be more so.

Want to hit someone.

This guy!

It's been another all-nighter and a lot of hard work.

It's always "for our bright future."

His acting skills have skyrocketed, after all that buildup.

So the real purpose in the end is just one thing—

Don't want to leave? Want to stay overnight!

Liu Yifei tried hard to suppress the slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, her eyelids drooping gently.

When she looked up again, she had already regained her aloof and detached demeanor.

A slight smile played at the corners of her lips.

"Oh, I see."

"Then I wish you success soon and that your dreams come true."

"Buy your own big house as soon as possible."

Her beautiful eyes were full of sincere encouragement.

"I believe that with Professor Fang's unparalleled talent, that day will come soon."

"Keep it up!"

Done.

Liu Yifei stood up gracefully, raised her slender arm, and pointed to the entrance.

"The door is on the left."

"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off."

The deep emotion on Fang Yu's face froze instantly.

That was too hasty; the trick was seen through.

The appeasement policy was clearly failing.

Fang Yu's eyes darted around, and he immediately switched to Plan B.

Suddenly, he clutched his head, his brow furrowed, and his expression turned pained.

His body tilted to one side, and he fell straight down on the sofa.

"Ouch...ouch, I can't take it anymore..."

He started humming.

"Oh no, oh no, these past two days have been filled with recording and writing songs, and I even have to squeeze in time to go online and do some kowtowing. Even a person made of iron can't take it."

"My head is spinning and my vision is blurry."

"I feel completely drained."

"There's no going back, there's really no going back."

"It's too far to ride a shared bike back to my dorm from here. I'm afraid I'll break down on the side of the road halfway there."

"No, I need to rest for a while."

"I'll just lie on the sofa for a little while, and leave as soon as it gets light. I won't stay a minute longer."

As he spoke, he even adjusted his posture quite naturally.

I nestled comfortably into the sofa.

That posture didn't seem like a temporary break.

It seems like I'm planning to settle down here, so I'll go to the property management office to register tomorrow morning.

Liu Yifei just watched him perform quietly.

Watching him seamlessly transform from a sentimental, artistic young man into a shrewish, contrived old man.

After a while.

She said nothing and turned to walk towards the bedroom.

Fang Yu secretly peeked through a crack in his eye and watched her retreating figure, his heart skipping a beat.

This is……

Are you angry?

Are you about to grab a broom and chase them away?

A few seconds later.

Liu Yifei came out of the bedroom.

She was holding an air conditioning blanket in her hands.

It's light gray, made of coral fleece, and looks very soft.

She walked to the sofa, bent down, and gently covered Fang Yu with the blanket.

Then she turned around, poured a glass of warm water, and placed it on the coffee table next to the sofa.

It was exactly where Fang Yu could reach it with a simple stretch of his hand.

Only after doing all this did she stand up straight again.

He looked down at Fang Yu, who was pretending to be dead on the sofa.

The voice was very soft and gentle.

"Then you should go to sleep."

"If you don't feel comfortable on the sofa, you can sleep in the guest room."

"The sheets and duvet covers were all newly changed."

I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, so I won't wake you.

"When you wake up, remember to lock the door before you leave."

Fang Yu: "..."

He froze completely.

The expected expulsion did not occur.

No battle of wits or courage ensued.

She just... agreed?

For a moment, Fang Yu felt as if something had gently bumped into his heart.

It's a little sour, a little soft, stuck in my chest, indescribable.

He suddenly realized that his little tricks of being a rogue were particularly childish.

Fang Yu lay on the sofa, remaining silent for a long time.

he knows.

If I just nod now, I can stay legitimately.

But at this very moment, he felt—

It shouldn't be like this.

At the very least, they shouldn't have stayed by cheating.

The room fell silent.

The night view of Beijing outside the window is still flowing.

The car headlights, like streaks of red, slowly swept across the overpass.

A while later.

Fang Yu slowly sat up.

He folded the blanket he was wearing and put it aside.

Then he stood up and walked up to Liu Yifei.

He looked down at her.

Moonlight streamed through the French windows, casting a soft glow on her face, making her look incredibly beautiful.

Fang Yu's Adam's apple bobbed.

All the words in the world can be summed up in a single action.

He gently took her hand.

He lowered his head and placed a kiss on the back of his hand.

It's very light and very short.

Instantly separate.

"Fairy, get some rest."

After saying that, he released his grip.

He turned around and strode towards the entrance without any hesitation.

Change your shoes, open the door, and leave.

The whole process was very elegant.

It was as if the person who had just been lying on the sofa throwing a tantrum, pretending to be injured, and refusing to get out of bed was not him at all.

"Bang."

The door closed gently.

The room fell silent again.

Liu Yifei was still standing there, looking down at the back of her hand.

The spot where he had just kissed seemed to still retain a trace of warmth.

A long time passed.

She then burst out laughing.

Looking at the empty entryway, he cursed, feeling both annoyed and amused.

"snort."

He had the desire to steal, but not the courage.
