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

Zhou Yinghuai held her in his arms, genuinely feeling sorry for her, and also truly unable to resist the allure she created with the simplest of words.

You have surgery tomorrow.

Zhu Xi blinked, still displaying her captivating beauty, "What are you thinking? I'm just giving you a feast for the eyes."

"Oh?"

Zhu Xi pushed him away, "I didn't let you have a good meal."

Now it was Zhou Yinghuai's turn to object.

He pulled the person into his arms again, and the two of them rolled onto the sofa.

"Can't both be achieved?"

Zhu Xi deliberately said, "I have surgery tomorrow."

Zhou Yinghuai, baring his back teeth, brushed aside the stray hairs obscuring her eyes. "Sister Xi, you're bullying me."

Once you start something, you can't put it down once you've tasted its sweetness.

Just like a cat scratching, you always want to have a good time and feel completely satisfied.

"It's all because Xiao Huaihuai is naughty." She tapped his high, straight nose. "He's still feeling sour."

Zhou Yinghuai: "My fault?"

Zhu Xi mimicked his words, "Zhou Yinghuai, you're bullying me!"

Seeing that things were going badly, Xiao Zhou, who was waiting nearby, put the washed strawberries and other fruits on the coffee table and ran away like a wisp of smoke.

Zhu Xi felt that everything here was an illusion, except for the weight of the man on top of her and the hand behind her head.

She tilted her head, finding a better angle to look at Zhou Yinghuai.

She smiled and sized up Zhou Yinghuai, who was serious but not quite so serious.

"For the first time, I won't tease you today," he said softly. "It's because I'm naughty."

She struggled slightly, freeing one leg to nestle beside his. "You're such a good person."

He had clearly tasted the sweetness and was now craving more; his physical and psychological desires were all reflected in those obsidian-like eyes.

But the words he spoke were all for her own good.

Zhu Xi tilted her head back and pressed her lips to his, then rested her head on his outstretched palm. "Let's not go swimming yet, let's hug first."

She pouted, her eyes burning with passion, and she depended on him, saying, "I want a hug."

Zhou Yinghuai lay down, exposing his strong body to her, offering her support and protection.

They embraced in the same way they always did: she rested her head on his chest, listening to his strong, powerful heartbeat, and felt his pulse with one hand.

The hair on the top of his head brushed against his neck, and Zhu Xi sniffed.

Zhou Yinghuai's heart tightened, and his hand on her shoulder tightened. "What's wrong?"

Zhu Xi rested her chin on her hand, looking at his handsome eyes with a smile. "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of a sentence."

"What did you say?"

Zhu Xi leaned back down, her clear eyes fixed on the plate of bright red strawberries. "I had a teacher in high school who was very kind to me. She once said..."

"I want to find good people to be my friends and partners in the future. Because even if we go our separate ways, people with good fundamentals won't hurt me."

Zhou Yinghuai understood immediately and suddenly realized why she had sighed earlier.

"Did Teacher Yao say that?"

Zhu Xi nodded and said, "Me, Zhu He, Su Daiqing, the three of us, Teacher Yao is the best to me."

Although Teacher Yao's love for Zhu Xi wasn't as unconditional as a mother's, it wasn't much different.

She had more than just a teacher-student relationship with Zhu Xi, which is why she gave Zhu Xi the most honest advice on choosing a life partner.

Zhu Xi needs to find someone who is already good enough to complete the missing part of her life.

Zhou Yinghuai agreed with this statement, and for Zhou Lingyi's future, this was the only thing he cared about.

"Clearly, Lingyi is not as clever as you in this respect."

Lan Qi is back in the spotlight, and Zhu Xi once again senses the bittersweet feeling of his older brother in his words.

She looked at him. "Aren't you really going to consider treating Lan Qi better? He's your brother-in-law, and Lingyi likes him a lot."

"Haven't I been good to him?"

"Is that good?" Zhu Xi leaned back slightly. "They come when called and leave when dismissed, and they don't even smile when you ask for a favor. Giving you the cold shoulder is commonplace, and verbal insults are the most frequent thing. Zhou Yinghuai, you call that good?"

Zhou Yinghuai twirled the end of her hair, playing with it. "Every time I see him, I hold back from hitting him. I didn't beat him to a pulp, and I occasionally bring him scraps to show my concern. Aren't I good enough?"

"What else could be better? Send him to Siberia to dig potatoes?"

Zhu Xi was impressed; the boss's thought process was both unique and unparalleled.

"That's also your fault," Zhu Xi began to argue, mimicking the older man's line of thought. "Zhou Yinghuai, you also bear responsibility. At least half of it!"

"Oh?"

"As the older brother, you didn't find Lingyi a good teacher like Teacher Yao..."

Zhu Xi stopped halfway through her sentence.

She frowned, staring at him. "How do you know Teacher Yao?"

Zhu Xi remembers very clearly that she never mentioned Teacher Yao to Zhou Yinghuai.

Zhou Yinghuai loosened the ends of her hair and stretched out his long arm to take two strawberries from the fruit plate.

"Wife, have you forgotten that I can command the wind and rain?"

As he spoke, he held out the strawberry in his palm and gave it to her. "Try it, it's very sweet."

Zhu Xi didn't bother to find out how he found out.

Because Zhou Yinghuai is very strong, very strong in every aspect.

Just like he said, a man who can command the wind and rain will get what he wants.

She raised an eyebrow, feeling full and satisfied, and picked up a strawberry between her fingers.

Her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her lips were delicately curved. "Would you like some?"

Zhou Yinghuai: "I want to."

Zhu Xi then asked, "So, would you like to see bikinis, or would you like to eat strawberries?"

Zhou Yinghuai easily handled this extreme choice between two options.

He gently pressed the bait down beneath him.

"Only children make choices; adults want it all." He said in a deep, magnetic, and pleasant voice, "You, I want you."

He wanted strawberries, no matter what kind.

"You just said you wouldn't bother me," she retorted. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it."

Zhou Yinghuai lowered his waist and braced himself on either side of her body. "A man's words are deceitful."

"But I like these lips." Zhu Xi raised an eyebrow, her eyes alluring, and placed one of them on her lips. As for the other one, well, it had its own place.

Zhou Yinghuai bent down and lowered his head, gently kissing his forehead and then moving downwards.

He was very patient and knew his limits. He tasted the same strawberry as her, and it tasted good.

This place was more spacious than Huanxisha, and Zhu Xi fully revealed her heart pounding like a drum to Zhou Yinghuai.

Let him see, let him hear, let him do as he pleases.

Last night's enchanting flames reignited uncontrollably, and Zhu Xi lay on her back, her almond-shaped eyes like water, her silhouette blurred.

She wanted to study the lights overhead and experience Zhou Yinghuai's boating technology.

She even wanted to go doggy paddle swimming.

But now, Zhou Yinghuai's black hair swaying under her eyelids confines her to this world, and neither her body nor her soul can escape.

Zhu Xi opened and then clenched her ten fingers, clenched and then opened them again.

Clutching the edge of the sofa back, a soft melody lingered, scattering my very soul.

On the verge of collapse, Zhu Xi cried out, "Zhou Yinghuai, I want to see you."
