On the day of graduation, I was dragged by my rich father to get the certificate

As the elevator went down, Si Yehan kept recalling the touch of Gu Wan's skin, the faint scent of jasmine in her hair, and her soft breathing beside his ear. His Adam's apple rolled, and the reaction under his suit pants forced him to adjust his standing posture.

"Mr. Si..." Assistant Wu suddenly called him in the parking lot.

Si Yehan paused as he was about to open the car door, frowning slightly: "Anything else?" His tone was terrifyingly calm, but Assistant Wu, who had followed him for many years, knew what kind of impatience was suppressed under this calmness.

Assistant Wu swallowed his saliva and said with a stiff upper lip: "Mr. Si, I know today is such an important day and I shouldn't stop you, but for Miss Gu Wan, I still have to say it."

Si Yehan turned around, his eyes sharp as a knife: "..."

"Just a few days ago, the doctor in charge of Miss Gu Wan called and reminded me that although Miss Gu Wan has been discharged from the hospital, the internal injuries she suffered from the beatings and kicks during the kidnapping have not yet fully healed, so..."

Si Yehan's pupils suddenly contracted. The scene of Gu Wan being kidnapped a week ago flashed back to his mind again - her pale face tied to a chair, the blood on her mouth, arms, and collarbone, and the torn dress she was wearing when she was found...

"So what?" His voice was as cold as ice.

Assistant Wu's forehead was covered with beads of sweat: "...You can't do any strenuous exercise, including sex."

"What?" Si Yehan grabbed Assistant Wu's tie with such force that he almost lifted him up. "Did the doctor say...how long will it take for her to recover?"

"If nothing else happens, it will take at least ten days."

Si Yehan loosened his hand and swallowed, his Adam's apple rolling violently. "..."

He turned and got into the car, slamming the door shut. The neon lights outside the car window blurred into a blur. Ten days. Two hundred and forty hours.

Thinking of Gu Wan waiting for him in the suite wearing that damn white shirt, Si Yehan's temples began to throb.

The car sped through the night, Si Yehan unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, trying to relieve the burning pain in his chest. His phone vibrated, it was a message from Gu Wan:

"Are you coming? I have prepared a surprise." He also added a love emoticon.

Si Yehan stared at the loving expression, his knuckles turning white. How should he tell her that they couldn't do anything tonight? How should he explain that he had to restrain himself from touching her?

The elevator to the presidential suite went straight to the top floor. Si Yehan stood in front of the door and took a deep breath. His hand trembled as he swiped the card.

The moment the door opened, the rich aroma of red wine and roses hit him. Only candles were lit in the suite. In the warm yellow light, Gu Wan stood in front of the French window with her back to him. She was wearing his white shirt, the hem just covering the base of her thighs, revealing her long, straight legs. Hearing the voice, she turned around, her face showing unconcealed expectation and shyness.

"All solved?" Gu Wan trotted over, but stopped when she was one step away from him. She bit her lower lip and looked at his tired face. "Are you tired?"

Si Yehan's eyes moved from her red collarbone down to the third button of her white shirt - it was slightly open, revealing a soft curve. His breathing became heavy.

"You're finally back. Can you... continue?" Gu Wan reached out to untie his tie, but just as her fingertips touched his Adam's apple, Si Yehan took a step back.

"Wanwan..." His voice was extremely hoarse, "We need to talk."

Gu Wan's expression froze instantly, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes: "What's wrong? Did something happen again?"

Si Yehan walked closer to her and restrainedly held her shoulders, not daring to let his hands slip even a little bit: "Assistant Wu just told me that your doctor specifically instructed..." He struggled to organize his words, "Your internal injuries are not fully healed yet."

Gu Wan's face flushed: "He...he even told you this?"

"Why didn't you tell me?" Si Yehan's thumb unconsciously rubbed her shoulder, "If tonight we..."

"It's okay." Gu Wan lowered his head, his voice getting smaller and smaller, "I really want to... Although the doctor told me not to have sex in the next few days, I know my body well and I should be able to bear it..."

Si Yehan's heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand.

"Wanwan..." He sighed and held her in his arms, but carefully avoided her waist that had been kicked. "I want you too, I want you so much that I'm going crazy. But your health is more important than this."

Gu Wan trembled slightly in his arms: "Then... let's just hold each other and sleep all night?"

Si Yehan smiled bitterly. Just by holding her, he could feel the changes in his body. But he just hugged her tighter and kissed the top of her head: "Well, just hold me like this."

He led Gu Wan to the bed, watched her get into bed, and then went to the bathroom to take a cold shower for a full twenty minutes. When he finally lay down beside her, Gu Wan immediately curled up in his arms like a kitten.

"Si Yehan..." She drew circles on his chest with her fingers, "The doctor said...it's not completely impossible..."

Si Yehan grabbed her restless hand and said in a tense voice, "Don't challenge my self-control, Wanwan. I'm not as strong as you think."

Gu Wan looked up at him, her eyes wet in the candlelight: "But you look so uncomfortable..."

"Compared to hurting you, this little pain is nothing." Si Yehan hugged her tighter, but carefully kept his lower body away from her. "Go to sleep, I'm here."

Gu Wan calmed down in his arms for a long time, and then she whispered softly: "Thank you for loving me."

Si Yehan didn't answer, but just placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. The moonlight from the window shone in, illuminating his forbearing face and clenched fists. Ten days, he counted silently in his mind, there were still two hundred and thirty-nine hours left...

The morning sun shone through the gaps in the curtains into the bedroom, casting a golden ray of light on the floor. Gu Wan woke up in a daze, and the first thing she felt was the firm and warm touch under her body and the steady and powerful heartbeat beside her ears.

She raised her head slightly and found herself lying on Si Yehan's chest, with one of his arms still around her waist, maintaining a protective posture even in his sleep.

Gu Wan's face instantly became hot, and she tried to move away from him carefully, but stopped when she saw his sleeping face.

It was still that sleeping face, his eyelashes cast fine shadows in the morning light, his lips were slightly open under his high nose bridge, and his usually sharp features were now incredibly soft.

Gu Wan couldn't help but reach out her hand, lightly tracing his brow bone with her fingertips, sliding down the bridge of his nose, and finally stopping at his lips.

"Isn't this embarrassing for me?" She murmured softly, with deep annoyance in her voice, "I fall asleep in the arms of such a handsome guy every day, and I can't do anything. How can I bear this..."

The lips under her fingertips were warm and soft, and Gu Wan's breathing became rapid unconsciously. Ten days, and there were still nine days left. This agreement was simply torturing herself.

Her eyes lingered on Si Yehan's lips, reason and desire fighting fiercely in her mind.

"No..." She murmured to herself, but leaned down and gently pressed her lips against his.
