Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

Zhou Chenyu lowered his eyes, taking in her shocked and flustered expression. His little girl, sometimes clear-headed and intelligent, sometimes charming and adorable, sometimes compassionate and delicate... how could he not love her with all these wonderful qualities?

At that moment, the string of reason snapped completely.

He stretched out his long arm and embraced her slender waist, pulling her close to him with a slight pull. Then, he leaned down and kissed her lips without warning.

The moment their lips touched, it was a sweet and soft sensation like chilled jelly. This exquisite taste made Zhou Chenyu's eyes darken, instantly transforming into a whirlwind of plunder. He had wanted to do this for a long time tonight, from the moment he led her into the house to the moment she threw herself into his arms... he had been holding back until now. Now that his wish had finally come true, he naturally wanted to kiss her to his heart's content, not allowing her even the slightest chance to back down.

"Well……"

Su Fengnan was once again breathless from the sudden kiss. She was like a fish thrown ashore, only able to dazedly respond to his rhythm.

The air around her seemed to have been sucked out; she was completely lost in Zhou Chenyu's kisses, her mind blank. She didn't even know when he had picked her up and placed her on the bed.

The music in the living room was still playing softly on repeat, while the bedroom was filled with a romantic atmosphere.

It wasn't until she felt a slight coolness on her back and her bra was unhooked that the sudden chill brought her back to her senses.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide, and in the instant her vision refocused, she realized that Zhou Chenyu was already on top of her. And his hand was dangerously resting on her chest.

Reason returned instantly, and Su Fengnan frantically raised her hands to block his restless palms, her fingertips trembling slightly, determined not to let him advance any further.

"Brother Zhou...no..."

Su Fengnan squeezed out these words indistinctly from between her lips, her voice soft and gentle, with a coquettishness and slight tremor that she herself did not realize.

Zhou Chenyu paused. He could clearly feel the resistance and panic of the little girl under his palm. He did not force his way through, but simply stopped his hand in place and did not continue downward.

He slowly raised his head, his deep gaze fixed on her reddened eyes in the dim light.

"Nan'er, don't be afraid..."

He spoke softly, his voice hoarse with unsatisfaction. Then he lowered his head and gently pecked her lips.

Then, soft, warm kisses fell like feathers, from her lips to her cheeks, then to the tip of her nose, her smooth forehead, and finally rested on her burning earlobe, gently caressing it.

This series of restrained yet tender actions seemed to be soothing her tense nerves in the gentlest way. Only when he was sure she was no longer so stiff did Zhou Chenyu close his arms and pull her tightly into his embrace.

He lowered his head, burying his face deep in the crook of her neck, his hot breath spraying onto her skin. In a voice only the two of them could hear, he sighed softly in her ear, "Okay, no. Can I hold you for a little while?...

Su Fengnan softly replied "Okay," then raised her arms and hugged him back. She buried her face in his warm chest and said in a soft voice, "Brother Zhou... wait for me a little longer... okay?"

The man in the crook of her neck paused slightly in his breathing, then tightened his arms, holding her even closer.

Zhou Chenyu was actually quite annoyed. How could he have lost control and scared his little girl like that! But he was too proud to admit his loss of control and recklessness.

In truth, Su Fengnan was far more naive than she appeared. Having lived two lives, she understood matters of the heart between men and women. Faced with this incredibly handsome man overflowing with hormones, how could she truly remain calm? She herself had nearly lost her composure during that passionate encounter.

However, there was a bottom line she had to uphold.

She couldn't let herself completely succumb at this crucial juncture. At the very least, she had to wait until she successfully entered university and took her first steps in life with a firm and steady hand. Only then could she give herself to him without any burden and completely.

The two embraced quietly until their breathing gradually calmed down, and Zhou Chenyu reluctantly straightened up.

He looked down and realized that the little girl in his arms had fallen asleep sometime earlier. Her eyelashes were slightly lowered, her breathing was shallow, and she slept very peacefully, like a cute little kitten.

Zhou Chenyu smiled helplessly yet affectionately, gently helping her remove her coat and shoes, then carefully adjusting her to a comfortable sleeping position and covering her tightly with the soft blanket.

After doing all this, he quietly got up, went into the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, and barely managed to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

At six o'clock in the morning, the sky outside the window was just beginning to lighten, and the room was still dark and quiet.

Su Fengnan slept exceptionally well this time, perhaps due to the influence of her biological clock, she woke up right on time in Zhou Chenyu's arms.

She groggily opened her eyes and found herself nestled snugly in Zhou Chenyu's arms. She instinctively touched her clothes to make sure they were still on, and then breathed a slight sigh of relief.

A thought stirred in her heart: Had Brother Zhou been holding her so quietly all night, without even changing his position, as if afraid of waking her up?

Su Fengnan, afraid of making his arm go numb, held her breath and carefully moved his arm away from her waist to get up, when she heard the man's deep, slightly lazy and husky voice as if he had just woken up:

"Did you sleep well? Are you hungry? Let's go have breakfast."

Su Fengnan paused, turning her head to meet his half-open eyes. Using the faint morning light streaming in from the window, she guiltily raised her hand, hastily smoothing her messy hair, and whispered, "Brother Zhou... I have to go home first. If I didn't go home last night and my little sister sees me only showing up now, she'll definitely throw a tantrum."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chenyu's eyes softened with a doting smile. He gently stroked her nose and coaxed softly, "Okay, go back and wash up first. Come downstairs in half an hour, I'll take you to breakfast, and then I'll take you to school."

"Okay." Su Fengnan obediently replied, then straightened up, lifted the covers, and got out of bed.

……

When Su Fengnan returned home carrying roses and gifts, the house was still quiet. Su Fengxia was still fast asleep, completely unaware that her sister had not returned the previous night.

Su Fengnan breathed a slight sigh of relief. She was terrified that her younger sister would find out she hadn't come home all night, setting a bad example. What would happen if her sister followed suit? Thankfully, she hadn't been discovered.

Su Fengnan carefully put the gift back in her room, then took the pearl necklace off her neck and gently placed it in her jewelry box. Time was short, so she would have to wait until after school to open the gift.

She quickly washed up and tidied herself up. When she went downstairs with her schoolbag on her back, Zhou Chenyu was already waiting for her.
