Wen Ke’an didn’t speak. She slightly lifted her head, her misty eyes fixated on him.
In terms of appearance, she belonged to the type of girl with a cool demeanor. But in this moment, a trace of unnatural redness tinted the corner of her eyes. Her eyes slightly squinted, making her look alluring like an enchanting fairy.
Taking advantage of his last bit of rationality, Gu Ting wrapped one hand around her slender waist, pulling her into his arms as he smiled and softly asked, “Won’t you regret it?”
“It’s not the first time,” Wen Ke’an murmured softly, her eyes slightly downcast, “You’ve been mine for a long time.”
“Yes,” Gu Ting placed his hand on her shoulder blades, lowering his head to gently kiss her earlobe. The girl in his embrace quivered slightly.
“I’ve been yours for a long time.”
Gu Ting knew her well enough to understand her most vulnerable spots.
The redness in the corner of Wen Ke’an’s eyes deepened. She instinctively leaned back, trying to evade his kiss. But the next second, Gu Ting pressed closer.
This kiss was different from the one she had initiated before. Gu Ting’s kiss was ferocious, like a starving wolf that hadn’t eaten in a long time.
Who knows how much time passed before he finally stopped.
Gu Ting gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, his dark eyes quietly gazing at her.
In the quiet room, she heard him softly ask, “Do you really want it?”
Wen Ke’an lifted her eyes to look at him, as if her gaze was asking: Can’t you do it? Why are you hesitating?
Gu Ting’s eyes darkened. He didn’t want to give her a chance to back out.
Seeing him press forward again, Wen Ke’an paused and suddenly pushed him away, her voice soft and slow, “Wait a minute, I have something to give you.”
In a daze, she hadn’t forgotten to give him what she had prepared long ago.
The item was in the drawer of the coffee table next to the sofa. Wen Ke’an searched for a while on the carpet and finally took out a small box.
“For me?” Gu Ting took it and looked closely at it. Then, his smile froze for a moment.
Inside the small box were some pills.
After a moment, Gu Ting laughed in exasperation. He shook the little bottle, asking, “You think I need this?”
Gu Ting looked down at the girl sitting on the carpet. She still seemed a bit disoriented, the entire person looking bewildered.
Wen Ke’an thought for a moment, then looked up at him seriously and said, “The first time, it might be difficult.”
Gu Ting paused briefly, then bent down and directly picked her up, heading towards the room.
“It’s not the first time, not difficult.”
“……”
It wasn’t long before sounds of entanglement filled the room.
The moon outside the window shyly hid behind the clouds.
By the time Wen Ke’an regained consciousness again, she felt pain all over, like her body was falling apart.
Beside her, the sound of water running could be heard; Gu Ting was giving her a bath.
“Awake?” Gu Ting asked softly.
This time she was awake, not just physically but also sobered up.
Wen Ke’an instinctively looked up at him. Gu Ting wasn’t wearing a shirt, and his chest was covered with pink scratches, with even a few bite marks on his collarbones.
“Do you think you went a bit too hard?” Gu Ting gazed down at her, lightly laughing as he asked.
“And you’re blaming me?”
Wen Ke’an was already so exhausted that she didn’t feel like talking. They had agreed it would be gentle, but this beastly man didn’t know how to be gentle at all.
Wen Ke’an looked down and noticed her own arm. Her fair wrist was covered with red and blue marks, looking quite pathetic.
“I’ll apply some ointment for you later,” Gu Ting said softly, feeling sorry for her.
Her skin was too delicate. Even though he hadn’t used much force, her skin easily showed marks.
“You lied to me again.” Wen Ke’an’s eyes reddened at the corners, and she got angry just thinking about previous events.
“How did I lie to you?” Gu Ting wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and smiled as he asked.
“You promised only twice,” Wen Ke’an vaguely remembered, but she could tell Gu Ting had definitely gone more than twice.
“Just twice,” Gu Ting said softly.
It was her first time, after all. In the end, Gu Ting hadn’t been able to ask for more.
Wen Ke’an glanced out the window. The sky was already lightening; it was probably around four in the morning.
“The sky is brightening,” Wen Ke’an murmured softly.
“Just twice,” Gu Ting chuckled gently, “It’s just that it took a bit longer.”
Wen Ke’an, feeling annoyed and ready to argue, was suddenly thrown off when Gu Ting casually added, “After all, you did prepare the medicine for me, right?”
“……”
Realizing she was hoisted by her own petard, Wen Ke’an silently swallowed her words.
When she woke up again, it was already one in the afternoon.
After some sleep, her body felt much better, not as exhausted as the previous night. However, her waist still ached.
Gu Ting emerged from the bathroom to find her awake and staring blankly at the bed.
“Does your body still hurt?”
Gu Ting sat beside her, gently massaging her waist.
Wen Ke’an leaned against him immediately, collapsing into his arms, “Yes, it does.”
“I’m sorry. I’ll be gentler next time,” Gu Ting said as he looked down at her, admitting fault proactively.
She had heard this countless times in her past life and was already too lazy to respond.
Gu Ting’s massage skills were good, and since Wen Ke’an hadn’t rested well, she was about to fall asleep in his arms when her phone rang.
She picked it up and, seeing the caller, instantly woke up.
“It’s a video call from my mom,” Wen Ke’an looked up at Gu Ting.
“Just answer it; I won’t speak,” Gu Ting said.
Hearing this, Wen Ke’an felt like they were having an affair.
Living together behind her parents’ backs was somewhat thrilling.
She hadn’t been home for a few days due to competitions.
She had told her family that the program had dorms, unaware that she had mostly been staying with Gu Ting.
“What’s wrong with your neck? An allergy?”
After chatting for a while, Wen Ke’an had tried to keep the camera at a distance and even used a beauty filter, but her mom still noticed the love bites on her neck.
Wen Ke’an hesitated and tried to remain calm, “Um, there are quite a few pesky bugs here, always biting me.”
Wen Ke’an had often been bitten by various insects since childhood, so Liu Qing didn’t think much of it, merely reminding her, “Remember to use some repellent before sleeping. If it gets unbearable, make sure to see a doctor.”
“Okay, I got it, Mom.”
“When are you coming back? Your dad misses you so much and keeps thinking about you.”
“I can come back in a few days.” Wen Ke’an said with a smile.
As soon as Wen Ke’an finished speaking, Liu Qing’s expression changed slightly, and she asked softly, “Is there someone next to you?”
“No one.” Wen Ke’an replied without looking sideways, speaking softly.
While talking, she quietly pinched Gu Ting’s hand.
Just now he moved around, probably letting his arm appear in the camera, so her mom saw it.
“Maybe I was mistaken.” Liu Qing said.
“.”
The competition has reached a stage where Wen Ke’an can take some time to go back and see them. Incidentally, it’s almost the time for the results to be announced, and she has been a little excited these days.
Chu Han has also been outside for many days, and it just so happens that he can go back with Wen Ke’an.
Xie Huaiyan had already prepared the car, but it seemed like he was having a spat with Chu Han again, and Chu Han didn’t want to sit in his car.
“What’s going on with you two this time?” Wen Ke’an sat next to Chu Han, looked at her, and asked softly.
“Ugh, don’t mention it.” Chu Han looked distressed.
“It’s just that something not so nice happened the night I got drunk, I bit Xie Huaiyan.”
“Hm?” Wen Ke’an actually didn’t get it.
Biting someone didn’t seem to be a big deal.
Just when Wen Ke’an was about to ask, Xie Huaiyan got in the car.
Gu Ting had prepared a large car this time, with four rows of seats. When Wen Ke’an saw Xie Huaiyan, she finally understood Chu Han’s expression.
Xie Huaiyan’s mouth was injured.
“I accidentally bit his mouth.” Chu Han glanced at Xie Huaiyan and said in a low voice.
“.”
“That’s not even the most embarrassing part.” Chu Han held her forehead, “When I was drunk, I babbled about wanting to marry him. And then today, he bought me this huge ring.”
“Sigh, it’s so embarrassing, I really feel like crying.”
“.”
The college entrance examination results were coming out around these days, and shortly after Wen Ke’an returned home, she was informed the results were out.
Wen Ke’an did quite well, scoring 686.
At least the school she wanted to go to is secured.
Today, everyone’s social media was filled with posts about exam results. As soon as Wen Ke’an saw her results, she immediately messaged Gu Ting, “How many points did you get?”
“683.”
“Ah!” Wen Ke’an was thrilled.
“Awesome!!!”
Today was quite an exciting day, as Wen Ke’an was also very concerned about her friends’ results. Chu Han and Jin Ming both performed exceptionally well and got excellent scores.
Wen Ke’an received celebration gifts from her friends at home.
To return the gesture, Wen Ke’an also prepared gifts for them.
Just as Wen Ke’an was about to leave, she bumped into Gu Ting in the hallway.
He seemed to have just come back from the office, dressed in a white shirt, looking quite formal.
Gu Ting glanced at the items in her hands, “What’s this?”
“Gifts for my friends,” Wen Ke’an replied.
Gu Ting was silent for a moment, then gently sighed, “Hey, what about me?”
“I did well on my exams too.”
Wen Ke’an smiled and coaxed him, “I’ll give it to you at home.”
That evening, Wen Ke’an returned home, and Gu Ting was still fixated on his gift.
These days, Wen Qiangguo and Liu Qing were very busy and came home late at night.
Gu Ting followed Wen Ke’an into her room without hesitation.
As soon as they entered, Gu Ting cornered her and asked, “Where’s the gift?”
“Here.” Wen Ke’an took out a small keychain from her purse and handed it to Gu Ting.
Gu Ting took it and looked down. The keychain was an adorable little baby figure.
“Did you just buy it?” Gu Ting asked with a smile.
“Custom-made,” Wen Ke’an said seriously, “Don’t you think it looks a lot like me?”
“A little bit,” Gu Ting replied.
Seeing that Gu Ting seemed unsatisfied, Wen Ke’an suddenly thought of something, “Oh right, there’s one more thing.”
Wen Ke’an turned around and took out a small box from her desk, and opened it under Gu Ting’s gaze.
As soon as she opened it, Wen Ke’an froze for a moment.
Inside the box were various neatly packaged “chewing gums.”
Wen Ke’an quickly tried to close the lid after realizing what was inside, but the small box was grabbed by Gu Ting in the next second.
“Wait, that’s not it.” Wen Ke’an instinctively tried to snatch it back, but failed.
Gu Ting looked down at the contents of the small box for a moment, then looked at her and said with a gentle smile, “I see, so you’re in such a hurry?”
Wen Ke’an suddenly felt she had never been so embarrassed in her life.
Her ears turned red, and just as she was about to explain, she heard Gu Ting muttering to himself.
“But this size…”
“It seems a bit small.”
