Lin Wanwan's fingers stopped on the second button of Chen Zhi's shirt.

Because of nervousness, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she couldn't get the round plastic button out of the buttonhole even after two attempts.

Chen Zhi didn't urge her. He just leaned back on the sofa, his hands lightly resting on her lower back, feeling the warmth of her body through the thin fabric.

Only a warm yellow floor lamp was on in the living room, and a comedy variety show was playing on the TV screen. The exaggerated laughter of the guests seemed a bit out of place in the quiet suite.

Lin Wanwan finally unbuttoned the button.

She took a breath, pressed her forehead against Chen Zhi's chest, and listened to the rapid beating of his heart.

Lin Wanwan once said, "Liking is unrestrained, loving is restraint."

She thought the sentence was really well written and even copied it onto the title page of her notebook.

But now, Lin Wanwan thinks that statement is pure nonsense.

When you truly fall in love with someone, why would you think about restraint? Right now, all she can think about is how to completely possess the person in front of her, to have everything about him, and to leave her own mark on him.

When did she start liking Chen Zhi?

Lin Wanwan herself couldn't explain it clearly.

Was it when Chen Zhi was scalded by a pot of boiling water while protecting her when they were little? Or was it during those three years of junior high when he waited for her at the intersection every morning in the light of dawn, and then pushed his bicycle home with her in the sunset? Or was it in high school when she deliberately broke the chain of her bicycle so that she could legitimately and forcibly take the back seat of his broken electric scooter?

So much time has passed that these memories have become ingrained in her very being.

Anyway, she'd liked him for a very, very long time. Maybe in her past life, or even the life before that, she'd already liked this guy who always teased her but always stood in front of her when it mattered most.

And now, liking has fermented into love.

Lin Wanwan discovers that love is not only unrestrained, but also a complex emotion that makes people anxious and insecure.

During this time, she thought about Chen Zhi every day. She would think about him when she woke up and didn't see any messages from him, she would think about him when she was practicing singing in the recording studio, and even on the stage of the "Singer" finale, which was watched by millions, she was still wondering if he was watching.

I think about it all the time, it's driving me crazy.

"Chen Zhi." Lin Wanwan nestled against his chest.

"Um."

"Turn off the TV."

Chen Zhi reached for the remote control that had been tossed in the corner of the sofa and pressed the power button.

The room instantly fell into darkness, with only a small circle of light and shadow cast by the floor lamp.

Chen Zhi knelt on one knee on the edge of the bed, leaned down, and looked at the girl who looked particularly well-behaved in the dim light.

Two lifetimes.

This is the first time in both of Chen Zhi's lives that he and Lin Wanwan have reached this point.

In his past life, he was a miserable office worker, barely able to take care of himself, and could only watch helplessly as Lin Wanwan soared higher and higher. In this life, he was reborn, holding a business empire worth billions of dollars, and finally had the confidence to protect this girl completely under his wings.

Because they care so much, their movements become extremely gentle.

He carefully considered Lin Wanwan's emotions, avoiding looking at her tense muscles caused by nervousness.

Lin Wanwan also felt his gentleness, and her initial stiffness gradually turned into an awkward yet passionate response.

In the dimly lit bedroom, only the neon lights of the city outside the floor-to-ceiling windows shone through.

The temperature is rising.

Everything seemed to be developing in the most perfect and romantic direction.

Until three minutes later.

Chen Zhiping lay on the pillow, staring blankly at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.

This unscientific.

This is absolutely not scientific!

Chen Zhi fell into deep self-doubt. He even began to wonder if his recent late nights working on the "AI driving open platform" had caused a precipitous decline in his physical functions.

Just as Chen Zhi was frantically trying to save face,

A rustling sound came from the side.

Lin Wanwan pulled the blanket over herself and then slowly moved closer.

Instead of showing any disgust, she adopted the demeanor of a caring older sister and hugged Chen Zhi.

A hand gently patted his back twice.

"It's okay." Lin Wanwan's voice was soft and soothing. "I've read online that boys are like this the first time, it's normal."

Chen Zhi's eyelids twitched violently twice. He turned his head sharply and looked at Lin Wanwan's face, which was full of maternal radiance.

"Don't listen to those people talking nonsense online." Chen Zhi said, his face dark, trying to salvage his dignity as a man. "Can you believe anything online? I'm just... I've been too tired these past few days! Plus, it was my first time, so I was too nervous. I would never be like this normally!"

Lin Wanwan buried her face in the blanket, her shoulders twitching uncontrollably.

"Are you laughing?" Chen Zhi asked through gritted teeth.

"I wasn't laughing." Lin Wanwan looked up, leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, then continued, "Mmm, I know, our Chen Zhi is the best, what happened just now was definitely an accident."

Chen Zhi felt this was an utter disgrace.

He took a deep breath, suddenly rolled over, and placed his hands on either side of Lin Wanwan's body as he looked at her.

"What are you doing?" Lin Wanwan was startled and instinctively shrank further into the blanket.

"I do not accept such baseless slander." Chen Zhi stared into her eyes and said, word by word, "Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. If you don't believe me, let's do it again. The last one doesn't count."

Lin Wanwan's face instantly turned bright red, and even her earlobes looked like they were about to bleed.

Looking at Chen Zhi's serious expression, she felt not afraid at all, but rather found him incredibly adorable.

Lin Wanwan bit her lower lip, then reached her hands out from under the covers and wrapped them around Chen Zhi's neck again.

"Mmm~" she responded softly.

This time, Chen Zhi completely let go of his so-called tension and caution.

He wants to prove with his actions that the CEO of Deep Space Technology is not only capable of fighting a protracted war in the business arena, but also possesses formidable strength in other arenas as well.

Length of night.
