Mr. Mu, stop bullying Professor Jian.

It was obvious that Jian Zhinian had stayed at K University the longest.

But Jian Zhinian was led away by Mu Qingyuan.

Snowflakes are flying all over the sky, as happy as elves under the light of the street lamps.

They walked hand in hand along the boulevard. Occasionally, fallen leaves would float down, circling around them tenderly before being blown away by the wind.

"Where are you going?" Jian Zhinian asked with narrowed eyes.

"Wherever we go, that's it."

Mu Qingyuan didn't look back.

So, they wandered aimlessly around K University, passing by the library where people were reading late into the night, and there were couples in pairs;

Walking past the quiet classroom where people were studying, I saw men and women with their heads down talking and laughing in low voices.

Passing by the playground where people keep running at night in the cold winter, there are also lovers kissing passionately in the snow and wind...

They have all left their footprints here.

It’s great to see other people in pairs and never be alone.

Finally, Mu Qingyuan stopped holding Jian Zhinian's hand, and he held his red, frozen cheeks.

"Cold?"

"not cold."

Jian Zhinian reached out and held the back of Mu Qingyuan's hand, which was warm and hot.

Along the way, my heart is warm, not cold at all.

"It's snowing hard, and your hair is all white."

Mu Qingyuan curled the corners of his lips, but did not brush away the snow on Jian Zhinian's head.

Jian Zhinian could see the snow on Mu Qingyuan's hair and brows when he looked up, but he did not move.

They walked together and grew old together.

Jian Zhinian secretly thought, is this true? If they were caught in the snow together today, they would be considered to have grown old together in this life.

Mu Qingyuan held Jian Zhinian's hand and looked at the grove behind him. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, like a star, crossing the sky.

The mandarin duck forest of K University is located by a lake. On the outer edge of the forest, there is a row of tables and chairs. Sitting on the chairs, you can overlook the entire sparkling lake.

A winding wooden bridge was built from the shore of the lake. The bridge extends in two branches, and the farthest point of convergence can reach the other side of the lake. Students of K University commonly call it the "Lover's Bridge."

Every pair of men and women who walk hand in hand across the Lover's Bridge are a couple.

If you are not a couple, don’t walk on the Lover’s Bridge.

This is the unspoken rule that K University takes for granted.

Jian Zhinian stood beside Mu Qingyuan. Deep in the forest, behind several trees, there were figures leaning against each other, whispering to each other...

Places like this in the university have always been a good place for trysts.

Jian Zhinian never comes to such places.

He was a little nervous, feeling embarrassed about disturbing other people's good things.

A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, and he should not eavesdrop on the secrets hidden by others.

Jian Zhinian urged uncomfortably: "Let's go, don't disturb others."

Mu Qingyuan chuckled, and there was a rare sentiment in his voice. He moved Jian Zhinian's chin with his index finger, and his deep eyes were bright as water at this moment, and his joy could be seen at a glance.

"Perhaps, others are afraid of disturbing us..."

Before Jian Zhinian understood what he meant, Mu Qingyuan took the man away and led him behind a big tree at the edge of the woods.

Jian Zhinian let out a short cry of surprise, and then his mouth was grasped by a rough hand.

"Hush! - Keep your voice down, someone is coming..."

Mu Qingyuan lowered his voice and whispered in Jian Zhinian's ear as a warning.

Jian Zhinian's eyes trembled with panic, and he turned his eyes to the path beside the woods. Sure enough, he saw two figures approaching. His body tensed up and he nervously grabbed Mu Qingyuan's collar...

"Eh? I just saw two figures here. Did they fall into the lake?..."

"Junior sister, you are so cute..."

"…Why do I feel like you are scolding me…"

"No... I just thought... maybe he hid in the woods..."

"Why……"

"I'll take you in later and you'll know..."

"Not now?"

"We have to wait a little longer..."

……

The sound of a man and a woman whispering came from far away and gradually got closer. Jian Zhinian's heartbeat also started from slow to fast. It was not until their voices faded and their figures faded away that Jian Zhinian realized that he was sweating coldly.

"Are you nervous?"

The voice above my head was smiling, with a hint of evil in it.

Jian Zhinian pounded his head like crazy, then heaved a long sigh and said, "I was scared to death."

"Is it exciting?"

Mu Qingyuan stared down at him.

Jian Zhinian's heart was beating like thunder and his face was flushed. Only then did he realize that Mu Qingyuan seemed to be teasing him.

The snow was still falling and the wind was cold, but his body was steaming with heat.

Without waiting for Jian Zhinian to reply, Mu Qingyuan leaned over and kissed Jian Zhinian on the lips.

Jian Zhinian's eyes widened in shock. He wanted to scream, but he held it back. He wanted to push her away, but he was afraid that the noise would be too loud and attract the attention of other couples in the forest...

"Don't be afraid... they don't have time to take care of us..."

As his lips and teeth relaxed, Mu Qingyuan comforted her softly and held her in his arms again.

Once upon a time, you were my distant, mysterious, inviolable rose.

At this moment, in my arms, she has become my closest and most familiar lover...

Jian Zhinian was immersed in this kiss.

It seemed like for the first time since they met again, Mu Qingyuan's kiss was so gentle and affectionate, without a trace of desire, like a worship.

As he was sinking, he heard Mu Qingyuan's voice——

"Zhizhi, I wanted to bring you here a long, long time ago..."

——Walk across the Lover's Bridge, hide in the mandarin duck forest, and kiss you...

What was not accomplished before is finally accomplished tonight.

Jian Zhinian felt as if he was in a dream after hearing this.

Mu Qingyuan was so gentle tonight, as if time had gone back and they were back to the time when they were in love...

It is so beautiful that he can wait foolishly and sink into it willingly.

Jian Zhinian no longer remembered how he left the grove.

He only knew that his mind was in a mess and he could only follow Mu Qingyuan step by step. Finally, he came to his senses when he entered a place with bright lights and bustling voices.

"Where are we?" Jian Zhinian was confused for a moment.

Mu Qingyuan smiled and said, "Look for yourself."

This person was tortured by himself. His mind was in a mess...

Jian Zhinian covered his face. He could see the cafeteria at a glance, but he was actually blind just now. What a shame!

"I'm hungry. Please treat me to a midnight snack, Professor Jian." Mu Qingyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Jian Zhinian touched his pocket and said awkwardly, "I didn't bring my meal card."

Mu Qingyuan was stunned for a moment: "In the cafeteria of K University, you can't use facial recognition?"

"Ah... yes, yes, yes..."

Lust can make one lose one's mind, and it has a lasting effect. Jian Zhinian's face turned red again tonight and he was too embarrassed to see anyone.

Mu Qingyuan smiled but didn't laugh out loud, and led his people upstairs.

The cafeteria at K University has many special dishes. They had been wandering around all night and were already hungry.

Mu Qingyuan didn't bother to be polite with Jian Zhinian. For teachers and students, the cafeteria was not expensive and they would not go broke eating there.

Familiar smell, familiar person sitting opposite...

Years have passed, things remain, but people remain.

So, he had no other extravagant demands.

No one is allowed to destroy it!

After leaving the cafeteria and returning to the dormitory building, Jian Zhinian wanted to open the car door, but he heard Mu Qingyuan's voice behind him -

"I'll stay at your place tonight, is that ok?"
