Xu Hongdou maintained a tight guard all night. 🐚🐠 ☞🐧

However, because of a moment of weakness at the last moment, all previous efforts were in vain.

On the contrary, Li Haoyu leaned against the bedside with a smug look on his face.

He was still reliving his previous experience.

So this is what sweet love is like!

It has to be said that Xu Hongdou really brought him an almost ultimate experience.

Li Haoyu also felt a sense of security he had never felt before.

He suddenly realized that if things could continue like this, he wouldn't need anything else.

Xu Hongdou gave Li Haoyu a resentful look.

She blurted out out of the blue, "If you ever betray me, you'll regret it. You've already played a trick on me like this today, and I've remembered it all."

cough cough...

Li Haoyu was a little scared and coughed twice in an attempt to ease the awkwardness.

"Why are your thoughts so extreme?"

"Am I really that worthless? Besides, weren't you the one who invited me in the end?"

Xu Hongdou gently bit her lip.

"Hmph, I wasn't fooled by you... You just took advantage of my vulnerability and took advantage of me."

"Even so... well, I won't explain... who told you to be so tempting? Actually, you shouldn't feel inferior. Not just you, I doubt many people could resist."

"But... don't you think it's exciting? That's what makes life more colorful. Especially when you get older, I reckon you'll be able to reach even greater heights."

"You don't want the future to be stagnant, do you?" Li Haoyu became more and more arrogant as he spoke, his eyebrows almost dancing on his face.

Xu Hongdou remained expressionless.

"You, shut your mouth."

Li Haoyu: ……

…………

Li Haoyu drove Xu Hongdou back to the courtyard.

The place was nicely decorated, but it lacked a lively atmosphere.

Neither of them wanted to stay there for long.

Not to mention the latest incident involving the shadowy figure.

Although Xu Hongdou wouldn't admit it.

But Li Haoyu could tell at a glance that she had chickened out.

He didn't say it outright, after all, he had given Xu Hongdou quite a hard time last night. If he didn't even understand this kind of thing, then he would be too much of a straight man.

However, Xu Hongdou was still a little angry.

Probably angered by Li Haoyu's arrogant attitude, he even told several of Xu Hongdou's usual lame jokes, but Xu Hongdou still didn't say a word.

She clearly hasn't calmed down yet.

Li Haoyu didn't mind passing by the breakfast shop. He stopped the car, got out, bought Xu Hongdou two fried dough sticks and a cup of soy milk, and then, without saying a word, simply stuffed them into Xu Hongdou's arms.

Xu Hongdou still didn't say anything.

But Li Haoyu saw Xu Hongdou's smile in the rearview mirror. ✎🎉 ➅9𝓢𝓗ⓤx.匚𝑜𝓂 🎃💜

He knew he had it all figured out. He figured he could just go back, admit defeat, and then have a long chat. Someone like Xu Hongdou wouldn't be able to resist his advances.

Li Haoyu even seemed to enjoy it.

Actually, he used to have this feeling that being rich meant happiness. So in the previous few film and television worlds, Li Haoyu was like a wind-up robot, constantly starting companies and trying every possible way to make more money!

But later on, Li Haoyu felt that his happiness threshold was getting higher and higher. He was like a person being sucked into a whirlpool; although he had more and more money, it became meaningless.

So Li Haoyu came to this world this time.

He completely changed his strategy; he wanted to try a different way of life.

This world can be described as a giant playground. This time, Li Haoyu wanted to have an easy time and fully experience the joy of being a casual player.

To put it in a more poetic way: life is a bundle of desires; unfulfilled desires bring pain, while fulfilled desires bring boredom. Life oscillates between pain and boredom.

We're all just mortals, we feel pain, we get tired, we get hurt. Occasionally, we stop and relax, the world slows down, and life doesn't seem so hard.

So Li Haoyu decided that he should spend more time teasing Xu Hongdou whenever he had free time. Wouldn't that be more fun?

"Why are you pretending to be dead?"

The two have already gotten off the bus.

Xu Hongdou suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

Actually, she still wanted to give Li Haoyu a little more time to cool off. But seeing Li Haoyu's carefree and self-satisfied expression, Xu Hongdou knew that her method probably wouldn't work on him.

"I'm just afraid you'll scold me. Let's talk about it after you've calmed down."

Li Haoyu said with a smile.

Actually, it's not difficult to coax a girl, but you can't get the key points wrong.

Most guys misunderstand this, thinking that after making their girlfriends angry, they need to find ways to make them happy. In fact, the key is to know how to make her stop being "angry," not the former.

Hongdou couldn't help herself.

Xu Hongdou said, "You're really exasperating. You usually talk so much. You almost made me cry last night, but now you've become mute."

Li Haoyu was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

He quickly realized that Xu Hongdou was becoming quite clever.

She's no longer that naive and easily fooled girl.

Li Haoyu scratched his head and said, "Is it too late for me to say some sweet words now?"

"Sweet my foot!"

Xu Hongdou turned around and left in a huff.

Li Haoyu didn't say much, and simply hugged Xu Hongdou from behind.

Sure enough, Xu Hongdou calmed down after that.

Actually, most girls who say they don't want to be hugged or kissed end up not having many problems once they're actually hugged.

"Don't be angry anymore~"

"Hehe; don't you know me?"

Xu Hongdou struggled a few times half-heartedly. ̙̻͉̦͙̗̥x̸͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̦̆̆c̶͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇͕̺̲̹̔̈́̃͝͝m̷̗͓̽̂̌̋̃̌

But she gave up soon after, leaning against Li Haoyu. "You always use your intelligence in the wrong places."

Xu Hongdou verbally scolded him.

But he was clearly not angry anymore.

"I'm not actually that bad, am I? I'm only this mean to you. Everyone else speaks highly of me. Look at Linna and Da Mai, neither of them thinks I'm bad."

Li Haoyu still refused to admit it.

"You're still being stubborn. Do you think they can even see you like this? Are you even fooling yourself?"

"I feel really fine!"

Li Haoyu continued to stubbornly insist on his own version of events.

"Shut up!" Xu Hongdou covered Li Haoyu's mouth with her hand.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Li Haoyu behaved himself after that.

He pulled Xu Hongdou's hand down and chuckled.

Xu Hongdou continued, "I'm going back to rest now. What are you going to do next?"

Li Haoyu whispered in Xu Hongdou's ear, "I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay by your side."

Xu Hongdou raised an eyebrow. "You mean you want to come back to my room with me?"

"Of course, I would be more than happy to."

Li Haoyu blurted it out without hesitation.

Xu Hongdou gave Li Haoyu a half-smile.

"You're quite genuine; you're too lazy to even pretend."

"I want to stay by your side, and I dare to say that to anyone." Li Haoyu chuckled and wanted to kiss Xu Hongdou.

However, he failed, and Xu Hongdou pushed Li Haoyu away directly.

"Alright, stop trying to take advantage of me."

"You didn't say that yesterday. You said you were afraid of ghosts and wouldn't let me get out of bed to take a look. You made me hold you and sleep all night."

"My arm went numb from being used as a pillow all night, but I didn't even flinch once."

Li Haoyu complained, "You're really treating me like this, discarding me after I've served my purpose. I'm really heartbroken."

Xu Hongdou was truly helpless.

"If you're so capable, come back with me."

He sensed a dangerous atmosphere.

Li Haoyu said with a grin, "I'll definitely understand and let you rest for a while. I'll take you for a walk and personally escort you home."

"Aren't you coming back with me?"

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes at Li Haoyu.

"No, you're so delicate, you should rest more."

Xu Hongdou gave him a strange look.

It's quite rare that they didn't cause any trouble this time.

Li Haoyu helped Xu Hongdou away, then took her hand and said, "It's been a long time since we've had such a leisurely stroll. Besides, you just had breakfast. I'll accompany you for a good walk this time."

Xu Hongdou hummed in agreement.

"If you like, I'll come with you every day from now on."

"Wait until you actually do it before you say such things," Xu Hongdou thought Li Haoyu was just making empty promises.

"Don't underestimate me, I'm a very self-disciplined person."

The two chatted as they walked.

Xu Hongdou looked at Li Haoyu and said, "I don't mean to belittle you. I just feel like I can't even keep going, so it really doesn't matter to me."

"Haha, it really is you."

"She's just different from ordinary girls."

Li Haoyu was amused when he heard Xu Hongdou say that.

"Otherwise, I'm already your girlfriend. You'll find out my true situation sooner or later. The more I pretend now, the more embarrassed you'll be when you find out later."

"It's better to be completely unpretentious from the start, so that what you see is the real me. Good or bad, that way you won't have any excuses when you argue in the future."

"Because those were all your own choices."

When Li Haoyu heard Xu Hongdou say this, he reached out and cupped Xu Hongdou's face.

The two stared at each other for a moment.

Just as she was about to speak.

Li Haoyu gently kissed Xu Hongdou's lips.

"Don't be afraid, I love you no matter what. I love how you are now, and I loved you even more yesterday. I just absolutely adore you."

Xu Hongdou said, "I like hearing what you said, but I also have something I want to say to you. Come closer."

Li Haoyu didn't believe Xu Hongdou could do anything outrageous, so he fearlessly moved closer, wanting to see what she would say.

As a result, Xu Hongdou took the initiative to pull Li Haoyu's neck down.

They kissed.

"this one?"

Just as Li Haoyu was thinking this...

A sudden pain shot through his lips.

Xu Hongdou actually bit him hard.

She looked at Li Haoyu's surprised expression and said, "Don't ask me why I did that. I just felt your lips were so soft, and I simply wanted to take a bite."

Xu Hongdou then whispered in Li Haoyu's ear, "I just like biting people. If you're scared, you can run away."

Li Haoyu looked at Xu Hongdou's upturned lips.

His heart couldn't help but start pounding.

Haha, I didn't expect her to have some tricks up her sleeve.

Now he was indeed a bit weaker, and Xu Hongdou ended up flirting with him instead.

But it's okay, there's still a long way to go.

Xu Hongdou noticed that Li Haoyu didn't say anything.

She became even more smug. "Why aren't you saying anything? I want to know how you feel. Tell me."

Li Haoyu wiped his mouth in disgust. "What can I possibly feel? I'm already considering whether to call the police. I seriously suspect you might be a descendant of cannibals."

"Next time, do you want to find a secluded place and then bite to your heart's content?" Li Haoyu said this with a serious and earnest expression.

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but laugh. Sometimes she wondered how Li Haoyu's brain worked; every time he said something, it was so baffling.

It was still a little bit funny, though.

Xu Hongdou said with a stern face, "Since you found out, you'd better watch out, or I'll kill you to silence you."

Li Haoyu chuckled mischievously.

He rummaged through his pockets for a while before finally finding a set of keys. "You were rambling on and on, and I almost forgot about the important matter."

Xu Hongdou asked with some confusion, "What kind of key is this?"

Li Haoyu said with a hint of helplessness, "What else could it be but the key? It must be the key to the guesthouse. As the hostess, you definitely need to have your own key."

"Have you started bribing me?"

Xu Hongdou narrowed her eyes. "You're acting so strangely. What mischief are you plotting now?"

"What are you talking about? Do you think I'm that bored?"

"You really do."

Li Haoyu pulled Xu Hongdou aside. "There's still renovation to go, and you'll have to open the door if I'm not there. Do you really want to push all the work onto me?"

"Besides, you're in full charge of the business operations."

"Now it's your turn to step up your game."

"Okay, I knew you wanted to be a hands-off manager. Leave the rest to me. Actually, I don't really trust you either; I'm the major shareholder of the guesthouse."

"Hahaha"

Xu Hongdou smiled very happily.

Li Haoyu also felt it was very good; his plan had been a complete success. Judging from the fact that Xu Hongdou even wanted to borrow money from Xu Hongmi, she truly believed what he had said.

Xu Hongdou also thought she was just renting a guesthouse and never imagined that he had already bought it.

Li Haoyu said, "You laugh just like a little child."

Xu Hongdou pouted and said, "Don't talk to me like that again. I don't like it."

Why?

Li Haoyu was somewhat confused.

He continued, "Don't other girls all want their boyfriends to pamper them like children? Why are you the only one who finds it so repulsive?"

Xu Hongdou said, "Spoiling your partner like a child?"

"Then when the other person also wants to be a child, who will they rely on? Many people want to find the right person, but few people will first become the right person themselves."

"I've always believed that happiness requires effort from both people. When two people are together, they can't just act like children; they both have to take on the responsibilities of adults."

"Otherwise, would you spend your whole life with a child?"

At this moment, Li Haoyu looked at Xu Hongdou in the sunlight.

He felt she was truly radiant.
