A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

at this time.

A thin layer of pink appeared on Li Xixue's cheeks.

Perhaps because her nose was a little stuffy, she was slightly out of breath and turned her back to Lu Yang, shrinking her body slightly.

Lu Yang wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, his hands gently touching her stomach, his body heat directly transferring to her.

The warmth from this physical contact is very warm and comfortable.

At least that's what she thinks.

Lu Yang subconsciously leaned forward.

The two leaned even closer together.

Li Xixue didn't move or say anything, just let Lu Yang hold her.

At the same time, her tense body slowly relaxed.

To be honest, this was the first time in her life that a man had held her like this while she slept.

She, Li Xixue, is always the one in control, no matter the time or place. But tonight, she is nestled in a man's arms.

What's even stranger is that she didn't feel any discomfort or resistance.

I even felt a sense of security I'd never experienced before.

After a while.

Lu Yang spoke.

"Are you still cold?"

"...It's not that cold anymore."

Li Xixue's muffled voice came from under the covers.

Her back was pressed against Lu Yang's chest, and she could clearly feel his heartbeat.

She blinked twice.

Wow, that was fast.

It wasn't my own heartbeat.

It belongs to Lu Yang.

Li Xixue's lips twitched slightly.

So even this shameless person gets a racing heart...

Your heart is beating so fast.

Lu Yang paused for a moment, his hand close to the back of her head.

"no."

"That's a lie."

"..."

Lu Yang remained silent.

Li Xixue rarely gained the upper hand, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.

seem……

This isn't just my first time.

"Are you nervous?"

"Who's nervous?"

Lu Yang's voice came from the back of her head: "My heart rate was high because I had just taken a shower."

"oh."

"real."

I believe you.

Li Xixue didn't reply, but the corners of her mouth remained turned up.

Despite having a fever, this discovery made her inexplicably happy.

I never expected this shameless guy to get nervous...

The two lay there, one in front of the other.

Li Xixue's body gradually warmed up, and her hands and feet were no longer as cold as before.

The fever reducer is starting to work.

"Lu Yang".

"Um."

"Are you... are you going to keep doing this all night?"

She was stunned for a moment when she said those words.

Perhaps because of the fever, my mind wasn't quite clear, and I kept blurting out whatever came to mind.

Lu Yang smiled.

"Not just tonight, it could be a lifetime."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Li Xixue's temperature rose again.

However, this time it wasn't because of a fever, but because of a hormonal imbalance.

She buried her face in her hands.

"sleep……"

Lu Yang chuckled and said nothing more.

However, she really needs to rest.

Li Xixue closed her eyes.

My heart is still racing.

"Go to sleep."

Lu Yang tightened his grip slightly, resting his chin on the top of her head.

She placed her hand on the hand that Lu Yang was holding around her waist, and gently interlocked her fingers.

It wasn't fastened properly, it was just hanging there.

Lu Yang sensed it.

But he didn't move.

And so it remains.

A long time passed.

Li Xixue's breathing slowed down and became steady, light and shallow.

She fell asleep.

Lu Yang glanced down at her sleeping posture.

At this moment, her cheek was pressed against the pillow, her lips were slightly parted, and her breathing was very light.

The fever gave her cheeks a light flush, but she looked relaxed.

He lacked the aloofness he had during the day, and the distance a CEO should have.

She snuggled up in my arms and fell asleep just like a little kitten.

Then Li Xixue turned over and faced Lu Yang.

Her brow twitched slightly, but she didn't wake up.

Her lips pursed, as if she were having a dream.

Seeing her fast asleep, Lu Yang touched the tip of her nose with his finger.

Warm.

It's not as hot as it was before.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yang brushed aside a strand of hair that was stuck to her cheek and tucked it behind her ear.

Then he closed his eyes.

……

the next day.

Sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains.

Li Xixue was awakened by the heat.

It's not the heat of a fever, but heat in the physical sense.

She opened her eyes and found herself trapped in an embrace.

Lu Yang's arm was still around her waist, and his other hand had somehow ended up on her chest.

Legs pressed down on top of it.

The whole person was stuck to her like a pendant.

Li Xixue frowned and called out to him.

"Lu Yang".

no response.

"Lu Yang!"

Still no response.

Li Xixue took a deep breath and nudged back with her elbow.

"Well……"

Lu Yang groaned, but didn't wake up.

However, he changed the position of his hand.

It moved up.

Li Xixue's body tensed up.

Lu Yang mumbled something inaudible, as if he were talking in his sleep, and squeezed his hand.

Li Xixue: "!!!"

At this moment, Lu Yang finally opened his eyes.

His eyes were glazed over; he was clearly not fully awake yet.

He looked at Li Xixue's face, which was so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

"Hmm... what's wrong?"

Lu Yang looked down at the spot where his hand was.

Then he looked at Li Xixue's chest.

The bath towel had loosened considerably while I was sleeping, and was half-draped over my body.

Lu Yang blinked twice, then quickly regained his senses.

"oh."

He withdrew his hand, his tone indifferent: "Feels good."

Li Xixue gritted her teeth, kicked him angrily with her long, fair legs, then quickly pulled the bath towel up and knelt down on her side.

She was used to him taking advantage of her, so she didn't make a big deal out of it.

Moreover, she is in much better spirits now than last night, and her head is no longer dizzy.

I touched my forehead; it wasn't hot anymore.

Yes, the fever has subsided.

Lu Yang also sat up and stretched.

"Has the fever gone down?"

"Um."

"That's good."

Li Xixue stood up, picked up the lace lingerie and a set of clothes from the bed, and hurried to the bathroom.

Lu Yang was still sitting on the bed, looking like he was half asleep.

He leaned against the headboard and thought about what happened last night.

Ok.

If she gets a fever again...

No, no, that's not right.

Lu Yang shook his head, clearing those strange thoughts from his mind.

When Li Xixue came out of the bedroom, she had already changed her clothes. Today she was wearing a dark gray office lady outfit, black stockings, her hair was styled in a high bun, and she had changed her earrings to a pair of small silver round buckles. Her makeup was exquisite.

Lu Yang leaned against the sink, brushing his teeth with foam in his mouth, and mumbled, "Can I go to work today?"

"Um."

Li Xixue walked past him, picked up the lipstick from the dressing table, and touched up her lip color in front of the mirror.

After applying her lipstick, she pursed her lips to make sure it was evenly applied.

"About last night..." she began.

Lu Yang rinsed his mouth, wiped his lips, and turned to look at her.

Li Xixue put the lipstick away, her tone somewhat casual: "Thanks."

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment. "That's it?"

Li Xixue narrowed her eyes: "What else do you want?"

"Generally speaking, if someone takes care of you all night, shouldn't you express your gratitude?"

"What kind of gesture do you want?"

"Call me husband."
