Damn it! The girl he likes insists on dragging him to a blind date.

Sheng Zongche was stunned for a moment. His peach blossom eyes, which always had a bit of a roguish air, suddenly widened, and the nonchalant look in his eyes was replaced by astonishment and disbelief.

His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, his gaze fixed on Xia You's reddened eyes.

"Xia Xiaoyou, it hasn't even been a month yet."

Xia You tilted her head up and said, "Oh, do we really have to wait a month? Well... then pretend I didn't say anything, and wait a little longer."

Before he could finish speaking, Sheng Zongche suddenly reached out and pulled him tightly into his arms: "No, we can't wait, not even for a second."

A warm breath suddenly enveloped him, and Sheng Zongche leaned down, holding Xia You's nape and kissing her lips fiercely.

Xia You's mind went blank for a moment, all her tension and surprise crushed by the sudden kiss.

The man's kiss was filled with a surging love that had been suppressed for a long time. It was forceful and hot, prying open her lips and teeth and stealing the air from her mouth.

He held the girl's wrist in his palm, the strength from his fingertips carrying an undeniable domineering force, yet her body involuntarily went limp in his arms.

The blanket that was tightly wrapped around her body slipped off, and Xia You was pressed naked against Sheng Zongche's chest.

She tilted her head back, letting her lips and teeth be relentlessly ground and bitten.

Until their last breath was almost completely taken away.

"Well……"

Xia You gasped for breath, and Sheng Zongche stepped back slightly: "Do you remember I said I'd kiss you to death the day you agreed to be my girlfriend?"

At that moment, Xia You felt like she was suffocating. She shook her head repeatedly, "I...I'm going to die. I take back what I just said. Let me go..."

"Youyou, it's too late."

Sheng Zongche's lips did not leave, but followed the girl's reddened lips down her neck with burning heat.

The man's breath was hot, and his kisses landed on the delicate skin of her neck, sometimes pecking lightly, sometimes lingering and caressing.

Xia You shuddered, a sharp shiver running down her spine, and even her fingertips tensed.

The next second, an unprecedentedly ambiguous whimper was about to escape.

Sheng Zongche tightened his grip on Xia You's nape, pulling her even closer into his arms. His other hand slowly moved upwards along her waistline, the heat of his palm making her heart tremble.

Then, he buried his face in the crook of her neck, his kisses gradually moving down to her heaving chest.

Warm lips pressed against porcelain-white skin, carrying a suppressed longing, each touch as light as a feather's brush, yet so heavy it made her heart skip a beat.

Xia You clutched the hem of his clothes, her knuckles turning white, soft sobs escaping her throat. She was as soft as a pool of spring water, and could only let him hold her. In the morning light, she felt her whole body burning from the overflowing love.

They kissed for a long, long time, until a few faint red spots appeared on the girl's chest. Only then did Sheng Zongche raise his bright eyes, grab her wrist, and place it against his chest. "What did Youyou just say? It sounded so sweet. Say it again."

Xia You rested her chin on his chest, her face as rosy as a peach blossom, and smiled sweetly: "I said, Sheng Nini, I like you."

Sheng Zongche bit her red lips again, then pulled away after a long while. "Tell me, how long have you liked me?"

Xia You paused.

Being able to say "I like you" to Sheng Zongche was already a big step forward for her. As for her feelings of unrequited love over the past four years, perhaps... she should wait and see.

Xia You lowered her eyes and said, "It'll take longer than you think."

Sheng Zongche stroked her cheek. "Do you know how long I've liked you?"

"I don't know," Xia You shook her head, "Could it be before you kissed me forcibly while you were drunk?"

Sheng Zongche asked, "What's the password to the front door?"

"2339."

"Do you know why it's 2339?"

"Why?"

"It's our birthday."

Xia You's eyes narrowed, and she secretly did some calculations.

1108 plus 1231 equals 2339.

"Oh—so early, it turns out some people really have been planning this for a long time."

Looking at the small face in front of him, Sheng Zongche felt like he was a lunatic.

I like her so much, I like her so much.

He seems to be poisoned by something called "Summer Pomelo," with no cure and no desire to cure it.

No wonder Sheng Wanyu ignored Gu Chi, and Gu Chi went crazy.

Sheng Zongche felt that if Xia You ignored him, he might climb to the top of the Oriental Pearl Tower and jump off.

Thinking of this, the man's thin lips covered his again.

From the forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks, and corners of the lips, finally, it captured those two soft, cotton-candy-like red lips.

Why is it that even Xia You's lips are sweet?

It's so sweet it's outrageous.

Xia You felt a tingling sensation all over her body from the kiss, and instinctively hooked her arms around his neck.

Sheng Zongche stopped: "Baby, can you call me 'husband'?"

The girl obediently replied, "Husband."

The moment that "husband" was uttered, waves of emotion surged through people's hearts, almost making them float away.

At that moment, Sheng Zongche felt that he would give his life for her.

Because the little girl in front of me is so sweet it's almost unbearable.

Sheng Zongche looked Xia You up and down, admiring her porcelain-white face and flawless body. Then, he grabbed a blanket from the side and wrapped her up tightly again.

"Alright, now that Xia Xiaoyou is my girlfriend, please be careful at home from now on. Don't let me see you naked and disheveled, or don't blame me for turning into a beast. No matter how much you scream, no one will come to save you."

"Is that so? I see—"

"But what should I do, Sheng Nini? I don't think I'm... that afraid of you."

As Xia You spoke, she wrapped herself in the blanket, gently lifted her bottom, and sat on the man's lap.

The blanket covering her body had fallen loosely, revealing her delicate collarbone and a small patch of fair skin on her neck and chest, dotted with tiny hickeys.

Sheng Zongche had known about Xia Youtian for a long time, but he didn't expect her to be this sweet right after becoming his girlfriend.

The man squinted, his large hand reaching towards her lower back, a slightly wicked smile on his face. "Fine, you're not afraid of me, are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Zongche yanked the blanket off her and covered his back with it, then leaned down on the girl.

"ah--"

Xia You screamed and fell backward uncontrollably, her head hitting the pillow with a loud bang.

"I'm sorry, I didn't say anything! Let go of me, my fever just broke!"

Sheng Zongche pressed down on her, holding her wrists with both hands behind her head, "Be good, I'll let you go after kissing you for a little while longer."

The kiss, lips intertwined, became passionate and intense once more. Sheng Zongche pulled back slightly, pressing his lips against Xia You's, and said, "Baby, give me your tongue."

Xia You was stunned, and stuck out her tongue blankly.

Pink and soft, like the forked tongue of a beautiful snake, which a man then bites.

"YuYu, you're sticking your tongue out like that, are you a lizard?"

"You're the one who made me stick out my tongue," Xia You said, blushing. "You're the lizard, you're the toad."

"Fine, I'm a toad and you're a swan, I'll eat your flesh right now."

Xia You's face flushed from the kiss. "No...stop kissing me, I'm so hungry, I want to eat..."

"Be good, and I'll let you eat in a little while."
