It's hard to quit, but it's the perfect marriage!

The kiss ended.

The green roses are in full bloom.

With their hearts in sync, Zhu Xi wrapped her arms around Zhou Yinghuai's waist, feeling his equally turbulent heartbeat.

Listen attentively and feel deeply.

The void in her heart was filled, and she slightly lifted her clear eyes.

Zhou Yinghuai's kiss landed lightly on her trembling eyelids, but his hands around her waist tightened.

He tried to ease her disappointment and anxiety, and to soothe her tension and worry.

All his words were transformed into a light kiss on her brow, and then their foreheads touched lightly.

He should come back and be with her.

Zhou Yinghuai was extremely grateful for his judgment tonight.

The dormitory fell into an unprecedented silence.

Once her breathing had calmed down, she gently tugged at his shirt with the hand that was wrapped around his waist.

Zhou Yinghuai released her and stared at her intently.

He knew what she wanted to say and spoke up, "Congratulations, don't worry about them, I've arranged everything."

Zhu Xi's lips moved slightly, and Zhou Yinghuai smiled again, "I know you're worried about the data in his lab."

Zhu Xi nodded, her voice hoarse, "My brother..."

Zhou Yinghuai spread his palms behind her back, reassuring her, "Zhuhe said it's not a big problem."

He paused briefly, then continued, "Sister Xi, you need to know, you've found a husband who's very good at making money. Hmm?"

She didn't understand, thinking she was blaming herself for hastily selling the bracelet he gave her that afternoon and sending all the cash to Zhu He.

Zhu Xi apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sell that bracelet. I have money in my account, but it's invested in financial products. Redeeming it will take time. Only selling the bracelet can give me immediate cash. I'm sorry, Zhou Yinghuai, I will..."

Zhou Yinghuai smiled and sighed, surprised but also very happy.

She didn't stand on ceremony with him; if he wanted to sell, so be it, it didn't matter.

It was just an ordinary bracelet that he sold.

Realizing this, Zhou Yinghuai's smile became even brighter.

A feeling of genuine happiness welled up inside me: "Sell it if you want, I'll buy you a new one."

"But that was a gift from you," Zhu Xi still felt apologetic. "I should have told you beforehand..."

He tried to comfort her, and inexplicably apologized first, saying, "Sister Xi, I should be the one saying sorry."

Zhu Xi: "?"

"It was my negligence that I didn't transfer living expenses to your card. I failed in my duty as a husband. I let you have no money when you needed it."

Zhou Yinghuai took all the blame upon himself, lifted her by the waist and pulled her into his arms, "I was wrong."

A mist of tears welled up in Zhu Xi's eyes, her red lips glistened, and her cheeks flushed.

She was enveloped by Zhou Yinghuai's cool and refreshing aura.

I want to express my gratitude, but at this moment any words would seem insincere.

Zhou Yinghuai brushed his fingertips across her cheek, lingering on the corner of her upturned eyes. "Sister Xi, if I can't make sure you have no worries, it's because I'm incompetent."

"Please forgive me, okay?"

Zhu Xi nodded and buried her face in his chest again, "Mmm."

Having received forgiveness, Zhou Yinghuai smiled and said, "I won't leave tonight; I'll stay and keep you company."

"Um."

Zhou Yinghuai knew exactly what was in this dormitory.

He effortlessly took out disposable toiletries and brushed his teeth and washed his face.

Then, in front of Zhu Xi, she changed into her pajamas.

After finishing her pre-sleep routine, Zhu Xi sat on the bed with her knees drawn up to her chest.

Zhou Yinghuai went to the door to turn off the light.

"Lights out." He chuckled. "Goodnight, Sister Xi."

Zhu Xi: "Good night."

Zhou Yinghuai didn't move. "Lie down quickly, little Zhu Xi."

Now he really does look like a kindergarten principal.

Zhu Xi obediently lay down and watched as his slender joints pressed the switch.

The room was plunged into darkness instantly.

Zhu Xi adapted quickly.

The darkness held his tall figure, watching him slowly lie down on the hospital bed that had been set up.

Both feet were dangling in the air, with a large gap between them.

For the first time, the two of them slept together while fully awake, and saying goodnight to each other was not enough to induce a deep sleep.

Especially now, after I've just expressed my feelings.

The two lay facing each other, neither of them asleep.

"Zhou Yinghuai." The voice, carried through the darkness, held a different, indescribable emotion. "Are you asleep?"

"No." Zhou Yinghuai shifted his legs. "Can't sleep?"

Zhu Xi shifted from lying on her side to lying flat on her back, placing the back of her hand on her forehead. "Has my brother left the country yet?"

"The meals should be served on the plane by now."

"Which airline does it fly? Do they serve Chinese food?"

"you say......"

The rustling sounds mingled with Zhu Xi's incessant chatter as she moved from the folding bed to her side.

Zhou Yinghuai quickly and deftly lay down next to her, and Zhu Xi unconsciously moved closer.

As the distance suddenly closed, Zhu Xi was drawn to his dark, bright eyes.

"you......"

Zhou Yinghuai swallowed everything that followed.

Zhou Yinghuai put an end to her anxiety with concrete actions.

His kiss was deep and intense.

It was an unprecedented display of domineering and eagerness.

Zhu Xi tried to shrink back, but he grabbed her by the back of her head and pressed down on her.

Her tongue went numb from being sucked, and she pressed her fist between the two men, pushing away the man who was as hard as a mountain.

"I have surgery tomorrow," she said, her tongue slurring.

Zhou Yinghuai's breathing was unsteady, his chest heaving, and the breath he sprayed on her neck was hot and scalding.

He wasn't that kind of beast to take her in this dormitory.

Zhu Xi: "If you'd like, wait until I'm resting..."

Zhou Yinghuai couldn't bear to listen any longer and chuckled softly.

I can't say I don't want to, and I can't really say I'll wait until she rests before doing anything.

Zhou Yinghuai wanted to be a beast, but that didn't mean taking advantage of someone in distress.

"Congratulations on not leaving the country yet, you'll have Chinese food."

"Go to sleep. He'll definitely be able to video call you first thing tomorrow morning."

"Hmm." Zhu Xi stopped struggling and stopped worrying.

The two remained silent for a few seconds, waiting for their breathing to gradually return to normal.

Zhou Yinghuai covered her with the blanket, preparing to return to where she came from.

As soon as I turned to the side, my little finger was hooked.

Zhou Yinghuai chuckled softly, covered her eyes with his palm, and turned on the bedside lamp.

Even in the dim, yellowish light, he could still clearly see the deep longing in her eyes.

Terrible!

"The bed is too small, you won't sleep well with two people in it." He kissed her eyelids again. "Don't be afraid, I'm right next to you."

Zhu Xi shook her head and moved further inside.

This leaves Zhou Yinghuai with a large portion of the space.

"Fine." So be it, Zhou Yinghuai thought.

Zhu Xi gave him some more blankets and extinguished the only light source in the room.

Zhou Yinghuai leaned outwards as much as possible, "Go to sleep."

A tall, burly man suddenly barged into her private space. It was impossible for someone as sleepy as Zhu Xi to fall asleep instantly.

But when this man wanted to leave, it was she who desperately wanted him to stay.

She used to sleep on the edge of the bed, but now she can only sleep close to the wall.

Zhu Xi held her breath and counted 368 sheep, but still failed to fall asleep.

She didn't move.

I plan to start over.

When they got to the third sheep, the man beside her spoke up and moved closer to her.

"How about you sleep in my arms?"
