I'm dressed up as a fake young master, and the real young master is frantically begging me to s

Why?

Zhou Shi'an was also a little curious. Although the two were engaged, they had not had any particularly close interactions before.

But every time the other person sees me, they show an expression of admiration and shyness.

"Do you remember more than ten years ago, when you rescued a little girl from human traffickers at the entrance of an amusement park?"

Upon hearing Liu Mengyue's words, Zhou Shi'an appeared somewhat dazed.

I do remember that such a thing happened.

Years ago, he saw a little girl crying and making a fuss. Instead of comforting her, the girl's mother dragged her along with obvious impatience.

Zhou Shi'an sensed something was wrong and called the police in advance.

Then, when he met the girl's pleading gaze, he stopped her.

This angered the traffickers' accomplices, and he still has a scar on his arm.

Upon seeing that the other party had actually committed such a heinous act against a child, the onlookers also realized that something was wrong.

They then joined forces and subdued the human traffickers.

Could it be that melodramatic? Did I actually save Liu Mengyue?

What era are we living in? Even mindless short dramas wouldn't dare to be made like this!

Thinking of this, Zhou Shi'an's expression became very strange.

"You...you wouldn't happen to be that little girl, would you?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Mengyue couldn't help but chuckle after hearing his words.

"Zhou Shi'an, your brain is too powerful! Do you think this is a short drama?"

What, you're actually thinking of playing the hero and getting that young girl to repay you with her body?

Hearing the other party's reply, Zhou Shi'an was even more confused.

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding. Actually, I was there that day too."

Do you know that many people said you were being unreasonable, that you had nothing better to do than stop that mother and daughter?

In everyone's eyes, you are a spoiled little boy.

But when the trafficker's accomplice pulled out a dagger, you didn't flinch at all.

At this point, a hint of lingering fear appeared on Liu Mengyue's face.

"Everyone was terrified at the time. I didn't understand why you would bite the other person's arm without hesitation."

However, I remember it clearly.

The radiant smile that appeared on your face when the human traffickers were subdued and the police arrived.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shi'an's expression became very strange.

"How old were you back then? You wouldn't have secretly fallen for me because of one of my impulsive actions, would you?"

"Pah! That's indecent!" Liu Mengyue couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Back then, I didn't understand what liking someone meant. I just thought you were very brave and smart."

You are like those young heroes described in storybooks, inspiring admiration.

At this point, she stared at Zhou Shi'an with fascination before continuing:

"That's when you successfully caught my attention."

As I got to know you more secretly, I discovered that you repeatedly defied my expectations.

You're so perfect, like the male protagonist in a novel, so dazzling and captivating.

Zhou Shi'an had heard these kinds of compliments since he was a child and was already immune to them.

But hearing these words from the mouth of his beloved, he still felt a secret sense of satisfaction for no reason.

If the camera crew were to give Zhou Shi'an a close-up at this moment, they would definitely notice that he unconsciously raised his head, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and his eyes full of smugness.

"By the way, even though you were still young at that time, you were already labeled as someone who was mature and steady in doing things."

In such a dangerous situation, why did you disregard your own safety and insist on saving that little girl?

Aren't you afraid...?

Liu Mengyue didn't continue speaking, seemingly unable to imagine the worst possible outcome.

Zhou Shi'an remained silent for a few seconds, then sighed softly.

"Actually, when I suspected the other party was a human trafficker, I only planned to call the police and didn't intend to get involved."

Because I am neither a hero nor a saint, I cannot be selfless.

But then I thought about what would happen to the little girl if she was taken away, and I hesitated.

At this point, Zhou Shi'an's expression turned somewhat grave.

"Perhaps, she will be sold to the mountains like a commodity."

Perhaps, she will be like livestock, procreating for humans.

Or perhaps, she will die silently in some forgotten corner.

Thinking about all these possibilities, I feel a little scared. I'm afraid that my cold indifference that day will become a nightmare that haunts me for the rest of my life.

Therefore, I must stand up. I am a man, I cannot back down!

Hearing Zhou Shi'an's answer, Liu Mengyue's eyes showed even more admiration.

He truly deserves the man I've chosen; he's intelligent yet composed, cautious yet passionate.

He is truly extraordinary!

"Girlfriend, are you full?"

The sound interrupted Liu Mengyue's thoughts.

"Hmm, I'm full!" Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she sat up straight instantly.

"Fine, do you think I'm a pig? I've eaten so much, and you're still asking me if I'm full?"

Zhou Shi'an reached out and ruffled the other person's hair.

"Even if it's a pig, it's still a pig I like!"

Liu Mengyue couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Pah! You're the pig, you're a big wild boar!"

Seeing this, Zhou Shi'an smiled and said, "Okay, whatever my girlfriend says, I'll do."

As soon as he finished speaking, he naturally placed his palm in front of Liu Mengyue.

"what?"

"Princess, please take my hand and follow me!"

Liu Mengyue blinked: "Okay, but you can't sell me out!"

As she spoke, she placed her hand in Zhou Shi'an's palm.

The two exchanged a smile and walked straight out the door.

It must be said that communication is the bridge to fostering relationships.

After just one breakfast, the slight awkwardness and shyness that Zhou Shi'an and Liu Mengyue had felt earlier completely disappeared.

At this moment, they seemed to be in perfect harmony, like a couple who had been in love for many years.

On the other hand, Zhou Shijin and Ji Yutang's situation stands in stark contrast to the rapid progress of their relationship.

They sat in the coffee shop for a full five minutes without saying a word.

Zhou Shijin, unlike his usual glib and witty self, simply lowered his head and fiddled with the coffee cup in his hand.

Several times, he wanted to say something, but he seemed to lack the courage to speak.

Ji Yutang quietly looked at the boy sitting opposite her, unconsciously recalling the scene from this morning.

I don't know what's wrong with this kid today, he actually walked back and forth in front of the Ji Group for half an hour.

And she—also stared at the other person from upstairs for half an hour.

She didn't know why her emotions were inexplicably affected.

But she was certain that it wasn't because she liked someone, or rather, she didn't want to believe she could like someone.

"If you have nothing else to say, then I'll be going now!"

As she spoke, Ji Yutang stood up.
