My roommate's online boyfriend won't spend any coins, but he'll give me tons of gold

Shen Sui'an was completely awakened.

The man standing by the bed froze. The red mark on his left cheek, which she had slapped during the day, had not yet completely faded, and now there was another fresh handprint.

Shen Sui'an's pupils trembled, and she became somewhat intimidated.

She quickly sat up in bed, shrinking her body little by little to the inside of the bed, clutching the blanket tightly with both hands, curling up into a ball, and sternly but righteously scolding him.

"Why...why did you suddenly get into my bed without saying a word?"

Chen Zhi laughed in exasperation, "Take another good look. Am I in your bed?"

Shen Sui'an was taken aback and looked closely.

He didn't come up; he stood quietly by the bed, just a little closer.

She suddenly felt breathless and her confidence weakened, but she still stubbornly argued, "Then, you can't just come into my room and even come close to the bed."

Chen Zhiye corrected her: "Honey, let's get this straight first."

"This is my room, my bed."

Shen Sui'an paused, stunned for a moment, and slowly climbed off the bed. "Then I'll give it back to you."

Chen Zhi also grabbed her wrist, "Here, take it."

He said lazily, "I'd love to give you my room and my bed."

Shen Sui'an blushed at his words, struggled to break free but couldn't, and was then led outside by Chen Zhiye.

"Aren't you hungry after sleeping for so long? Come downstairs for dinner."

Time flies, and more than a month has passed.

Life on the island was quiet and long.

Chen Zhi did not break his promise.

A few days before the start of the semester, he sent her back to her school in China.

School gate.

Chen Zhiye raised his hand and ruffled her hair, his deep voice carried on the wind, "Be good at school."

After speaking, he glanced at the bustling crowd, didn't linger, and turned to leave.

Shen Sui'an stood at the door, staring blankly in the direction he had left.

School season.

The surroundings were bustling with noise and excitement, but she felt inexplicably empty inside.

Chen Zhi also left and didn't reappear for a long time. Those days on the island were like a dream. She didn't even know the name of the island or where it was in the sea.

Campus life continued as usual: practicing martial arts, attending classes, rehearsing for shows—the days passed uneventfully.

Tian Yu, who was in the same department, started pursuing her.

Tian Yu pursued her relentlessly, and no matter how she refused, he was determined to win her over.

Shen Sui'an was extremely annoyed. Despite clearly stating that she had no feelings for him and would not be with him, Tian Yu just wouldn't give up.

That evening, the area downstairs in the dormitory building suddenly became lively.

Tian Yu had prepared the venue well in advance, with flowers and colorful lights spread out, ready to confess his love in public. Many students who were passing by gathered around after hearing the news.

Shen Sui'an had just returned from the training room when she was dragged over by the crowd.

Holding the flowers, Tian Yu stepped forward and said gently yet solemnly, "Shen, I've liked you for a long time. I noticed you when the semester started."

"I want to take care of you and accompany you to classes and practice martial arts in the future."

He took another half step forward, his tone earnest: "Shen Sui'an, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Say yes! Say yes!"

A cacophony of shouts erupted all around.

Just as the noise reached its peak, a very soft, mocking laugh suddenly came from the back of the crowd.

The sound wasn't loud, but it had a strong penetrating power, instantly drowning out all the noise.

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

The crowd slowly parted to make way, and Chen Zhiye, 193 cm tall, stepped out, one hand in his pocket, his tone casual: "This little girl has some guts."

"How dare you cheat on me?"

Shen Sui'an froze for a moment, then a brilliant idea flashed in her mind.

Before Chen Zhiye could speak again.

She lifted her foot and sprinted towards him in quick small steps.

To Tian Yu's astonishment, she naturally reached out and took Chen Zhiye's arm, standing close to him.

She turned to look at Tian Yu, who was stunned.

"I'm sorry, thank you for your interest, but I can't accept your request."

I have a boyfriend.

Chen Zhiye's lips curled up slightly, and the anger and jealousy that had been surging within him vanished in an instant.

He put his arm around the girl's waist and said, "Let's go, girlfriend."

After getting away from the crowd.

Shen Sui'an blushed and pulled away from his embrace, stammering, "Thank you for pretending to be my boyfriend just now."

Chen Zhi pinched her cheek, reminding her, "Who told you it was fake?"

Shen Sui'an rubbed her cheek, which had been pinched, and looked up at him, asking, "W-what do you mean?"

"I only take things as real, not fake."

"don't want!"

Chen Zhiye: "Hmm?"

Shen Sui'an's ears turned slightly red, and she muttered in a low voice, dissatisfied, "You don't pursue her, you don't give her gifts, and you think you can get a girlfriend for free? It's not that easy."

Chen Zhi also laughed: "You think you can win someone over just by giving them gifts?"

Shen Sui'an stammered, "It depends on your performance."

Chen Zhi nodded.

"OK."

Chen Zhiye pursued her all the way until she graduated from university.

But he was very decisive; the very next day, he took her to get their marriage certificate.

Shen Sui'an became pregnant at the age of 28.

Chen Zhi also underwent a tubal ligation.

He didn't really have high expectations for the child, but seeing his wife's great anticipation for the baby's arrival, he also started to look forward to it.

But on the day of delivery.

Chen Zhi also regretted it; he had the tubal ligation surgery too late.

It should have been done sooner.

The baby was born at 9 p.m.

boy.

A little over five pounds.

Chen Zhi also strictly controlled the baby's weight according to the nutritionist's plan, for fear that the fetus would be too big and difficult to deliver.

Shen Sui'an fell asleep right after giving birth.

The responsibility of taking care of the child fell entirely on Chen Zhiye, the new father.

Actually, he's been the one taking care of her all along.

Shen Sui'an both loves and hates children. After giving birth and recovering, she resumed her normal dancing and left the child with him.

Chen Zhi also raises children in a very rough manner.

I'm often annoyed by these disturbances.

His son had just learned to sit up, and in an attempt to keep him quiet, he casually tossed him a real toy to play with.

Of course, there were no bullets.

When Xiao Meng was 3 years old, he would take the toy gun that his dad made for him and point it at the bullseye, making "bang bang" sounds.

When he was 5 years old, his father thought he was too clingy to his mother, so he sent him to a training base, ostensibly to cultivate his masculinity.

Xiao Meng clung to Jiang Che's leg, pleading with eyes that looked exactly like Shen Sui'an's: "Godfather, when can I leave? I miss Mom so much, I haven't seen her for three months!"

Jiang Che clicked his tongue and said, "You ungrateful little thing, your dad takes you out with him all the time, how can you not miss him?"

Xiao Meng frowned, crossed his arms, and snorted, "I don't want to think about him, he's bad!"

Jiang Che picked him up from the ground and teased, "Really don't want to?"

Xiao Meng held up his finger and gestured, "Just a little bit, definitely not much, just this little bit."

Jiang Che was amused.

She pinched his chubby cheek and looked up to show him, "Look who's here."

Xiao Meng looked up.

From a distance, I saw a man and a woman, one tall and one short.

It's his mother and his father!

Xiao Meng struggled to get down, but Jiang Che put him down. The little guy, with his still-not-so-long legs, ran towards the distant figures, shouting, "Mommy, Daddy! I missed you so much!"
