It fell from his fingertips

That night, Tang Luoqing barely slept a wink. Around six in the morning, as dawn broke, her voice was nearly broken.

But that did not stop Zhou Jinbai.

On one hand, she knew that Zhou Jinbai was indulging in her excitement at accepting his proposal; on the other hand, she was also curious to know how many times Zhou Jinbai could do it.

I'm really curious.

But as it turns out, curiosity is something you really shouldn't have.

Tang Luoqing lay on the bed, utterly exhausted.

The bed sheets in the room have been changed countless times, and the water in the bathtub in the bathroom has been changed again and again.

Immediately, her body went limp and she was lifted into the air. Tang Luoqing didn't even have the strength to hug Zhou Jinbai's neck, who was carrying her in a princess carry.

She gently placed one hand on the man's burning chest, while the other hand rested casually outside.

As she was gently placed into the bathtub filled with water, some water splashed out, making the already wet floor even wetter.

"I'm so tired, I don't want to anymore."

Tang Luoqing closed her eyes listlessly, trying to push away Zhou Jinbai who was getting close to her.

Unfortunately, she had no strength left, so her push was completely ineffective.

Zhou Jinbai leaned down, gazing at the woman's flushed cheeks and red, wet eyes reflected in the water under the light. He smiled, then leaned closer and kissed her lips.

This time, Zhou Jinbai didn't bother Tang Luoqing, who was already exhausted and asleep. He carefully cleaned her up and carried her to the bedroom.

Zhou Jinbai gently placed Tang Luoqing on the clean sofa, changed the sheets, and then picked her up and put her on the bed. He then got into bed himself, carefully pulled her into his arms, and covered her with the blanket.

Tang Luoqing slept until the afternoon of the following day.

When Tang Luoqing finally woke up, it was already around 5 p.m.

The light of the setting sun streamed into the bedroom. Tang Luoqing groggily opened her eyes and saw Zhou Jinbai staring at her.

The man had exceptionally handsome features, a high nose bridge, and warm, moist lips. His eyes, fixed on Tang Luoqing, were particularly deep in the warm light of the setting sun.

"Awake? Are you hungry?"

Zhou Jinbai's voice is clear and cool, and sounds especially pleasant against the backdrop of the setting sun.

Tang Luoqing nodded: "Of course, is there anything to eat?"

Zhou Jinbai raised his finger and gently touched Tang Luoqing's nose, his tone full of doting affection: "Of course."

Zhou Jinbai lifted the blanket, picked the person up from the bed, carried them into the bathroom, and then put them on the floor.

The toothpaste was already squeezed out, and the water cup was already full, just as thoughtful as any other day.

This time, however, Zhou Jinbai hugged her from behind, making it difficult for her to even brush her teeth.

"What are you doing? Let go of me, I need to brush my teeth and wash my face."

Tang Luoqing couldn't break free, so she had no choice but to speak.

But her mouth was full of foam, and she couldn't speak clearly.

Zhou Jinbai pretended not to understand and continued to hold him.

Only when she saw Tang Luoqing deliberately darken her face in the mirror did she reluctantly let go of her, step back to the door, lean against the door frame, cross her arms, and look at Tang Luoqing in the mirror.

It was the first time Tang Luoqing had been watched brushing her teeth and washing her face, so she was quite uncomfortable and could only finish quickly.

After finally washing up, Tang Luoqing turned around, but before she could take a step, Zhou Jinbai once again lifted her up in his arms.

After leaving the restroom, Zhou Jinbai carried her to a chair in the dining room, where she saw a large table of delicious food.

"Why do you make so many delicious dishes?"

Tang Luoqing was helped into a chair and looked at Zhou Jinbai sitting opposite her with some surprise: "Is there something happy to celebrate?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Jinbai raised his left and right hands, and on his ring finger, a ring was already on his slender finger.

"We're engaged now, isn't that something to celebrate?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Luoqing suddenly remembered that she had promised Zhou Jinbai last night to let him put a ring on her finger.

Thinking back to Zhou Jinbai's series of actions after she woke up, Tang Luoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She beckoned to Zhou Jinbai with her finger, and when he walked over and bent down close to her, Tang Luoqing put her arms around his neck and kissed his lips.

Tang Luoqing's lips were very soft, and her smooth tongue clumsily darted around in his mouth, causing Zhou Jinbai to gasp for breath.

Just before things spiraled out of control, Zhou Jinbai gently pushed Tang Luoqing away, his eyes intense: "Don't you want to eat?"

Upon seeing Zhou Jinbai's aggressive gaze, Tang Luoqing immediately understood his unspoken meaning and dared not do anything more. She quickly picked up her chopsticks and focused on eating.

Zhou Jinbai stood to the side, watching Tang Luoqing's guilty look, and curled the corners of his mouth.

After a meal, Tang Luoqing finally recovered her energy. She lay on the sofa, watching Zhou Jinbai clear the dishes from the table, when her phone rang with a WeChat message from Shen Baiyan.

Shen Baiyan: [Are you awake? Do you want to go hiking together tomorrow?]

Tang Luoqing wasn't sure if she'd have the energy to climb the mountain tomorrow. After thinking about it, just in case, she declined: "Let's go somewhere else. I'm afraid of getting tired."

She was really unsure whether Zhou Jinbai would take her out on another night tonight.

Shen Baiyan quickly sent a message: [What are you afraid of? There's a cable car anyway. Let's climb the mountain together. It's been a long time since I've climbed a mountain. I want to see the scenery from the top.]

Unable to refuse, Tang Luoqing looked at Zhou Jinbai, who had put the dishes in the dishwasher and was walking towards her after washing his hands, and mentioned Shen Baiyan's suggestion.

"Do you want to go? If you do, you can go."

Zhou Jinbai sat down next to Tang Luoqing, easily pulling her onto his lap. Before Tang Luoqing could speak, he kissed her lips.

The next morning, the four of them arrived at the foot of the mountain together.

The mountain isn't very high; if someone who is a regular hiker comes, it only takes about an hour to climb it one way.

However, Tang Luoqing and Shen Baiyan didn't exercise much, and after walking for only ten minutes, they were already too tired to move.

If they went back to take the cable car at this point, it would take another ten minutes or so to go down the mountain. Neither of them wanted to go through that trouble, so they simply sat down on a nearby rock to rest.

Zhou Jinbai turned on the tap in his hand and handed it to Tang Luoqing, and Lu Yu did the same.

"Can you walk? I'll carry you?"

Zhou Jinbai sat down next to Tang Luoqing and whispered in her ear.

Tang Luoqing turned to look at the countless steps required to climb to the top of the mountain, and shook her head with a heavy heart: "I'll try to walk. It's too tiring for you to carry me up the mountain, and it's not safe either."

"Don't worry, you won't fall, and..."

As Zhou Jinbai finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his voice lowered even further: "I'm also at fault that you get tired so easily."

Tang Luoqing's cheeks flushed, and she quickly reached out to cover Zhou Jinbai's mouth.
