A god-tier fishing spot, anglers lined up to give me money.

"Yang Qi, I'm alone, I'm scared..."

She was genuinely afraid.

It was the middle of the night, deep in the mountains and forests, and there were strangers outside.

What if someone pushes the door open and comes in after she falls asleep? She's in an unfamiliar place, and the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that if something happens, she'll be all alone and helpless, with no one to turn to for help.

Seeing her pleading look, Yang Qi's heart softened immediately. He turned his head away and said, "But there's only one bed. Where am I supposed to sleep? There are so many mosquitoes outside."

"Me, us, squeeze in."

Chen Zilu's voice trailed off as she gripped his hand, "Please don't go."

"...Zilu," Yang Qi said haltingly, "I'm afraid I don't have enough self-control and might do something to you..."

He couldn't continue speaking halfway through his sentence, so embarrassed that he wished he could just disappear on the spot.

But what he said was true; Chen Zilu was very beautiful, and she just happened to be his type.

It would be a lie to say that two people lying in the same bed have no feelings for each other.

Although they were already engaged, Yang Qi and Chen Zilu were not actually ready.

I don't want to rush things; I want to wait until we're both really ready.

Chen Zilu naturally understood what was meant, her face flushed red, and she lowered her head in silence for a moment.

Then he turned around, picked up the pillow from the bed, and placed it in the middle of the bed.

"As long as you don't cross this line, you'll be fine."

She looked up at Yang Qi, her face contorted with grievance, "Yang Qi, you're all I have now, please don't..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yang Qi reached out a finger and gently pressed it against her lips, silencing her: "Okay, let's squeeze in."

Chen Zilu was stunned for a moment, and then, without knowing why, she leaned in and kissed Yang Qi on the lips.

Then, with a "whoosh," he shrank back into the blankets and buried himself completely under them.

Yang Qi's mind went blank after being kissed, and he was completely flustered.

Feeling the soft touch still lingering on her lips, a burning sensation surged from her chest upwards, to her ears, and to her forehead.

Without hesitation, she turned around, grabbed some clothes, rushed into the bathroom, and closed the door.

Soon after, the sound of water could be heard.

Chen Zilu peeked half her head out from under the covers, and upon hearing the noise from the bathroom, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

He touched his mouth and rubbed his face with the blanket; his heart was still pounding.

"What's wrong with me? I was so embarrassed just now."

She couldn't explain where she got the courage to do what she just did; at that moment, only one thought occupied her mind—

I want to kiss him.

Then they kissed.

Only after the kiss did she belatedly feel shy, shrinking into the blanket like a boiled shrimp.

Ten minutes later, Yang Qi came out of the bathroom.

Her hair was wet and clung to her forehead, water droplets trickling down her temples and soaking her collar.

She also changed back into her old clothes, a red long-sleeved shirt with white shorts.

She looks tacky and her fashion sense is absolutely appalling.

Chen Zilu peeked out from under the covers and looked at him, her brows instantly furrowing into a tight knot:

"Yang Qi, what kind of fashion sense do you have? How can you dress like that? Red long-sleeved shirt with white shorts, it's awful."

"...This is what I usually wear."

Yang Qi looked down at himself, then looked up at her, his face completely innocent.

"Ugly, ugly, ugly. I'll find you a good match from now on. You'll wear whatever I tell you to wear."

Chen Zilu sat up in bed, rummaged around, found a light blue short-sleeved shirt, and handed it to him, "Change into this for now."

"All right!"

Yang Qi took it and headed towards the bathroom. Chen Zilu immediately said, "What's there to be shy about? It's just changing your top, you can change right here."

"Oh... Ah!"

"What do you mean 'huh'? Hurry up."

"Oh……"

Yang Qi gritted his teeth and took off his shirt.

Chen Zilu took off her long sleeves and stared intently at the outline of the faintly visible eight-pack abs, then nodded in relief.

It's back to normal shape, not a beer belly, that's good, that's good...

"Zilu, where are you looking?" Yang Qifei quickly put on his short-sleeved shirt and asked.

"No... I wasn't looking anywhere."

Chen Zilu blushed and quickly looked away, grabbed her clothes and towel, and ran into the bathroom.

A dozen minutes later, Chen Zilu came out with her long, wet hair hanging down.

She was wearing her own pajamas, a light pink short-sleeved shirt, and matching shorts, revealing her two fair legs.

She walked to the bedside and nudged Yang Qi, who was staring in disbelief. "Help me dry my hair."

"Oh, oh, oh." Yang Qi belatedly realized what was happening, swallowed hard, and picked up the hair dryer.

He clumsily lifted Chen Zilu's brush and started blowing on it.

"Ouch, don't pull so hard, you're hurting me."

"Okay."

"Hey, slow down, you're dragging me into this again."

"I'm sorry, I'm nervous."

"puff……"

After drying my hair, it was already past 10 o'clock.

"Don't cross the line..."

After warning Yang Qi, Chen Zilu confiscated the blanket and quickly wrapped herself up like a dumpling.

Yang Qi looked at the "human spring roll" on the bed, remained silent for a few seconds, and then smiled.

Helpless, he pulled a thin sheet from the closet and lay down on the outer side of the bed, about two fists apart.

"Yang Qi, it's hot, turn on the air conditioner."

It was hot, and he was even wrapped in a blanket, Yang Qi thought to himself, but he still turned on the air conditioner anyway.

Incidentally, I reached out and turned off the light, plunging the room into darkness.

Quiet.

It was very quiet, but all I could hear were the signals of an attacking army of mosquitoes.

Buzzing, buzzing...

Unfortunately, the horde of mosquitoes was ultimately no match for the mosquito net, which kept them out.

Under the influence of mosquito coils, a highly potent sedative, she began to feel dizzy and disoriented.

One, two, three...

The prey was right before their eyes, and they...

Death! ! !

After a while, Chen Zilu, who couldn't sleep at all, couldn't hold back any longer.

She turned over, facing Yang Qi, and could vaguely see his silhouette lying on his side in the darkness.

He reached out and poked Yang Qi's waist.

There was no movement.

I poked it again.

Still nothing.

Seeing this, he leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "Hey, Yang Qi, are you asleep?"

"No response?"

Chen Zilu became even bolder and reached out to pinch Yang Qi's cheek: "You pig, you fell asleep so quickly without even waiting for me."

She pinched harder and harder, and Yang Qi's face was distorted from her pinching, but he still didn't move, not even blinking.

Chen Zilu tilted her head and looked at him for a while, then pinched his nose. "I called you, you went to sleep without waiting for me."

A feeling of suffocation washed over Yang Qi, and he could no longer pretend.

Grabbing Chen Zilu's hand, he said, "It's impolite to squeeze again."

Chen Zilu was startled by his sudden words and quickly withdrew her hand: "You, you're not asleep!"

"Are you stupid? Pinching my face is one thing, but pinching my nose is another, trying to suffocate me! And if I really fall asleep, how long are you going to keep pinching me?"

"I'll keep pinching you until you wake up."

"...Well, you're quite patient."

"Of course." Chen Zilu smiled slightly in the darkness. "Hey, Yang Qi, turn around and talk to me, I can't sleep."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qi remained silent for a moment, then turned around, feeling relieved that the lights hadn't been turned on.

Looking at the face so close to his, he spoke first:

"Weren't you quite sleepy during the day? Why can't you fall asleep now?"

"I'm not used to the new place."

"What if you want to stay here permanently in the future?"

"Then you'll get used to it gradually."

Yang Qi nodded and said softly, "Yes, take your time."

After a period of quiet,

"Yang Qi," Chen Zilu spoke again, her voice much softer than before, "What you said today... was it true?"

Which sentence?

"You have not let me down, and I will not let you down."

"Really." Yang Qi replied without hesitation.

"Then say it three times."

"..."

"Say it."

"...If you do not betray me, I will not betray you...If you do not betray me, I will not betray you."

"Okay, I've got it."

Chen Zilu laughed and said, "If you dare to go back on your word later, I'll tear your mouth apart and hang it at the entrance of your reservoir."

"Hiss, that's kind of scary."

"Yang Qi, I really only have you now. Besides you, I really can't think of anyone else."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qi was stunned, and he could imagine how insecure the other person must be.

But if you put yourself in their shoes, you can understand that it's normal for someone to be afraid when they come to this unfamiliar place where they have no relatives or friends.

He reached out and patted Chen Zilu's head: "I'm here, don't be afraid..."

"Um."

"..."

After a long silence, Yang Qi said softly, "It's getting late, go to sleep."

"No, you may not cross the line..."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

After saying that, they both closed their eyes, but tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for them.
