Sweetie, sleep with me tonight.

Worried that Meng Lan's body couldn't withstand the long journey, He Zhuo chose to return by private jet.

-

He Zhuo trusted Aunt Zeng's abilities, so when he went back this time, he also brought her back to Jianghai City to take care of Meng Lan.

Meng Lan is in poor health and needs dialysis every week. In order to provide Meng Lan with more comprehensive treatment and care, He Zhuo not only spent a lot of money to build a private hospital, but also hired the most authoritative experts in the country, just to serve Meng Lan alone.

Meng Lan is very old and can only be kept alive by dialysis.

She could leave at any time.

He Zhuo had always known this.

Despite this, he still wanted to do everything in his power to minimize Meng Lan's suffering and allow her to live a few more years.

After settling Menglan in, it was almost time for school to start.

Jiang Youxi is currently a sophomore, while He Zhuo is a senior.

Just like countless ordinary couples, the two of them went to class together, left school together, went on dates together, and slept together every day.

In order to spend more time with Jiang Youxi, He Zhuo would handle some work at home if possible, and only take leave to go to the company if he couldn't handle it.

And so a year passed.

Jiang Youxi finished her sophomore year, and He Zhuo also finished his four-year university life and graduated smoothly today.

After He Zhuo finished taking the group photo and attending the teacher appreciation banquet, he saw the little girl standing at the hotel entrance holding a large bouquet of flowers, smiling at him.

She wore a pale yellow dress, the hem of which was lifted by the breeze, making her look radiant and lively, like a sunflower in the bright morning sun.

The little girl had a fair and delicate face, and her casually tied fishtail braid draped lazily over her left shoulder. Her eyebrows were curved, and her dimples were faintly visible. She was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

Upon seeing him, Jiang Youxi immediately ran over, presented the flowers to him, and said with a sweet smile, "Happy graduation, Brother Azhuo~"

He Zhuo smiled, took the flowers, held them in one hand, and intertwined his fingers with hers with the other.

"How long have you been waiting? Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

"It won't be long, I just wanted to give you a surprise."

Have you eaten yet?

"not yet."

"Okay, I'll take you out to eat."

"Didn't you already eat?"

"I'll eat with you one more time."

Jiang Youxi felt a sweet warmth in her heart: "Okay."

He Zhuo drove her to the most famous Qinghai Hotel in Jianghai City.

The man ordered many of her favorite dishes.

Jiang Youxi ate while secretly glancing at him.

After more than a year, Lingshi Group is now on the right track.

He Zhuo is also much busier than before. Just now, all the dishes were served, and his phone rang again.

He didn't even look up, continuing to handle official business: "Jiang Youxi."

Jiang Youxi was engrossed in watching when she suddenly heard her name called. Startled, she replied blankly, "What?"

"Focus on your food and don't look around."

Jiang Youxi choked, "I...when did I look at things inappropriately?"

"Just now."

"I didn't see anything!"

He Zhuo looked up at her, his face serious: "You're looking at me."

"..."

Feeling guilty, Jiang Youxi picked up her bowl and continued eating.

Eat slowly.

Jiang Youxi slowed her movements, unconvinced: "He Zhuo, you're really starting to look more and more like my dad!"

"Isn't that right?"

"Hey, you actually admitted it?!"

You have such a thick skin!

The man remained calm: "Isn't that what you said?"

"When did I ever say you were my dad?"

"No," he looked up at me, his face serious, "you didn't say it, you shouted it."

"What? When? How come I didn't know?"

"Last night, when you were riding on top of me."

Jiang Youxi's pupils dilated, and she rushed over to cover his mouth, yelling, "Shut up!"

He Zhuo smiled and kissed her palm: "Want to continue tonight?"

Jiang Youxi pulled her hand back: "No!"

Why?

"You!" Jiang Youxi poked his chest. "Too strong! I can't handle it!"

"It's not even the final step yet, and it's already failing?"

Jiang Youxi suddenly asked curiously, "What will the final step feel like?"

"have no idea."

"you do not know?"

"I've never slept with any other women, how would I know?"

Recalling the countless tricks they'd used in bed before, Jiang Youxi remained silent: "You..."

"Um?"

She gave a thumbs up: "Exceptionally gifted."

He Zhuo chuckled, then picked her up and sat her on his lap: "It's my graduation day, aren't you going to do something for me?"

"How do you express that?"

"Sleep with me tonight."

"Didn't you stop having nightmares a long time ago?"

Since returning from Yuzhong Village, He Zhuo has stopped having nightmares and can now sleep soundly through the night.

The man buried his handsome face in her chest and nuzzled against her: "I just want to sleep."

Jiang Youxi scoffed, "Your sleeping method is anything but simple."

He Zhuo raised an eyebrow: "What, I've already graduated, and you're not even giving me a graduation gift?"

"You just graduated, you didn't become an immortal! Aren't flowers enough?"

"not enough."

"..."

He bit her collarbone, his deep, seductive voice: "Baby, want to try it tonight?"

"Try what?"

"Try a different way of sleeping."

Jiang Youxi looked at him: "What kind of sleeping position?"

"In-depth exchange."

"..."

Jiang Youxi understood immediately, and her face turned bright red.

"Okay, okay."

He Zhuo paused, then suddenly looked up: "Really?"

Jiang Youxi nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

"Are you full?"

"That's about it, what's wrong?"

"Go home and sleep."

"what?"

Before Jiang Youxi could react, the man led her out of the hotel.

He thought he was going straight home, but He Zhuo turned around and drove in the opposite direction.

Finally, the car stopped in front of the largest supermarket in Jianghai City.

"Wait patiently, I'm going to buy something."

Jiang Youxi looked bewildered: "What is it?"

"set."
