Out of control and sinking

Jiang Ruan's heart skipped a beat. She touched his hand around her waist; it was quite warm. She said, "No, give me your coat, what if you catch a cold?"

As she spoke, she made a gesture as if to take off her coat and return it to him.

But the man pressed down on her shoulder and stopped her.

He scoffed, "How could I, a grown man, be so delicate and frail?"

"Wear something warm, it'll be cold at night."

Jiang Ruan: "What if? We're all human, what if you catch a cold and get a fever? Wouldn't that be my fault? No, Bo Ye, you have to listen to me, I don't want your coat... um..."

Before she could finish speaking, the man covered her mouth with his palm.

Why does he always cover her mouth?
Bo Ye put his arm around her and complained as they walked, "You're only in your twenties, why are you acting like an old woman, always nagging?"

If she keeps nagging like this now, won't he eventually get calluses from all her nagging?

Jiang Ruan's temper flared up immediately, and she grabbed his hand: "Who's the old woman? I'm just worried you might catch a cold, okay?"

"No good deed goes unpunished!"

And they even said she was nagging, really.

Jiang Ruan was furious, but then she heard Bo Ye's laughter.

He lowered his voice, his throat slightly hoarse, like a deep bass cannon, making listeners' ears feel soothed and numb.

"What are you laughing at?" She stopped and glared at him. "Is that so funny?"

"Did I say something wrong? I just didn't appreciate my good intentions. My kindness was taken for granted."

This stretch of road has no lights; it's pitch black.

Fortunately, the moonlight was quite bright tonight, and the soft moonlight shone on their faces. Standing here, they had the illusion of escaping the noisy and extravagant big city and living in the quiet countryside.

Bo Ye looked down at her. Although the alcohol hadn't numbed his nerves, it had certainly numbed a lot of his brain.

With a smile on his lips, he suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding Jiang Ruan close. He pressed his chin against her right shoulder and whispered, "Although you can be quite nagging at times, which can be annoying."

"But... I think I actually quite like it."

Judging from the first half of the sentence, Jiang Ruan was quite angry.

For some reason, my anger suddenly disappeared during the second half of the sentence?

Sure enough, women, huh.

No future.

Jiang Ruan felt a deep sense of self-loathing.

In the dead of night, instead of going home to sleep, the two of them were embracing. There was a strange, eerie romance to it.

Composing herself, she asked him in a sweet, soft voice.

"So, do you prefer me when I'm nagging, or do you just like me?"

this problem.

It seems a bit contradictory?

Bo Ye frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I like them both."

Three words instantly filled Jiang Ruan with sweetness.

"Bo Ye?"

She called his name and then pushed his head off her shoulder.

Suddenly pushed up, Bo Ye's eyes were still sleepy: "Hmm?"

She cupped his face in her hands, tiptoed over, and gave him a quick kiss: "Smack!"

"This is your reward," Jiang Ruan said with a smile.

Bo Ye countered, "What reward?"

Jiang Ruan thought for a moment: "A reward for responding."

Bo Ye: "..."

His arms tightened around her waist suddenly, and he looked down, his voice hoarse: "What if it's not enough?"

"Just a kiss on the cheek? That's a bit perfunctory."

Jiang Ruan: "That's because you're too greedy."

Bo Ye: "Yeah, I was just being greedy."

He always seemed to be very greedy for it.

He greedily wanted to possess everything about her.

He made her see and feel only him.

After glancing around, Bo Ye suddenly spoke.

"Didn't you notice how nice the scenery is?"
