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

It was just a light touch at first, but Si Yehan unconsciously responded to the kiss in his sleep, causing Gu Wan to completely lose her mind.

She deepened the kiss, licking the seam between his lips with the tip of her tongue, and her hand unconsciously stroked his cheek.

When the kiss reached its deepest point, she felt the man beneath her suddenly stiffen for a moment, and then the pair of eyes that always made her heart beat faster suddenly opened.

It seemed to take Si Yehan a few seconds to realize what was happening, and then he quickly grabbed Gu Wan's shoulders and pushed her away.

"Wanwan," his voice was hoarse from having just woken up, with obvious surprise, "Last night we agreed not to..."

"Can't I even kiss you?" Gu Wan pouted, dissatisfaction and desire flashing in her eyes.

Si Yehan's Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes became dark, "...No, I can't help it..."

"Then don't hold it in." Gu Wan didn't wait for him to finish and leaned over to kiss him again, this time even more passionately. She could feel Si Yehan's body tense up instantly, his muscles becoming as hard as iron under her hands.

"Wanwan..." Si Yehan turned his face away with difficulty, his voice filled with suppressed pain.

Gu Wan kept chasing his lips, "Is it not okay if I regret it?"

Si Yehan suddenly turned over, and Gu Wan felt dizzy. The next second, she heard a muffled "bang" and then Si Yehan's painful gasp.

She hurriedly propped herself up and saw Si Yehan lying on the floor, one hand on his lower back, his face full of pain.

"Yehan! Are you... okay?" Gu Wan immediately jumped off the bed and reached out to help him, "Let me help you..."

“No need!” Si Yehan shrank back almost reflexively, with one hand stretched out to block the two of them, and the other hand still pressed on the injured area, “As long as you don’t get close to me, I’ll be fine.”

His expression was so serious that it was almost funny. Gu Wan felt distressed but also wanted to laugh. Si Yehan took the opportunity to get up from the ground and began to frantically pick up the clothes scattered on the ground - his bathrobe, Gu Wan's "shirt", and even the underwear that had fallen off at some point.

"I... I'm leaving first..." He said as he retreated towards the door. His movements were so agile that he didn't look like someone who had just fallen.

Gu Wan looked at him running away, feeling both angry and amused, "Si Yehan, how dare you leave! Come back soon!"

Si Yehan had already retreated to the door. Hearing this, he revealed a helpless yet doting smile, "Wanwan, we agreed on ten days, and there are still nine days left." After saying that, he quickly opened the door and slipped out, leaving Gu Wan standing alone in the middle of the bedroom.

"Ah——" Gu Wan grabbed the pillow on the bed and slammed it against the closed door, "Si Yehan you are such a dog!"

Si Yehan's deep laugh came from outside the door, followed by the sound of footsteps that gradually faded away. Gu Wan sat back on the bed angrily, her fingers unconsciously tugging at the sheets. She looked around, the room still had Si Yehan's scent, and there were traces of him lying on the sheets.

"This idiot..." She muttered to herself, the anger on her face gradually replaced by sweetness. Although she was angry, she knew that Si Yehan was keeping the promise he made to her last night - until her internal injuries were completely healed, at least for the next ten days, during which time they could live together, hug, and even sleep in the same bed, but they would not cross the last line.

At that time, Gu Wan, who had not yet been swayed by lust, thought this suggestion was not bad, but now she just wanted to travel back in time and strangle herself for nodding in agreement.

If I woke up in Si Yehan's arms every day, smelling his light woody scent and feeling his firm muscles, but couldn't go any further, it would be the sweetest torture.

Gu Wan sighed and decided to go to the bathroom to take a cold shower to calm down. As soon as she stood up, she heard a muffled sound coming from outside the door, followed by Si Yehan's suppressed cry of pain.

"Yehan?" She immediately rushed to the door, opened it and saw Si Yehan leaning against the wall in the corridor, one hand on his waist, his face pale.

"Why are you still here?" Gu Wan asked in surprise, then noticed his painful expression, "You fell and got hurt, didn't you?"

Si Yehan forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I just bumped my waist against the corner of the table..."

"Let me see!" Gu Wan dragged him back to the bedroom without saying anything and forced him to sit down on the bed. She lifted up his shirt and saw a large bruise on his lower back, which looked particularly shocking on his fair skin.

"Oh my god, it's so serious!" Gu Wan touched the bruise with concern, and Si Yehan immediately gasped.

"I'm fine," he tried to stand up, "I'll just get an ice pack..."

"Just sit still!" Gu Wan pushed him back and turned to get the medicine box. When she came back, Si Yehan was still sitting obediently beside the bed, but his expression was a little helpless.

Gu Wan knelt behind him and carefully applied an ice pack to the bruises, while her other hand gently supported his shoulder. "Does it hurt?" she asked softly.

Si Yehan shook his head, but he tensed his muscles the moment the ice pack touched his skin. Gu Wan felt so distressed that her movements became gentler. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault..." she whispered.

"It's not your fault," Si Yehan turned his head and looked at her with deep eyes, "I fell down accidentally."

Gu Wan bit her lower lip, but her hands didn't stop moving. After applying the ice, she took out the ointment and gently applied it to the bruises. The skin under her fingertips was warm and tight, and she could feel Si Yehan's breathing quicken as she touched him.

"Wanwan..." Si Yehan suddenly grabbed her wrist and said in a low voice, "Don't be like this..."

Gu Wan looked up and met his dark eyes, and immediately understood what he meant. She deliberately slowed down her movements and drew circles around the wound with her fingertips, "What? Am I not even qualified to help you apply the medicine?"

Si Yehan's breathing became visibly disordered. He let go of her wrist and tried his best to distance themselves from each other. "You know what I'm talking about," he said with a warning in his voice, "We agreed..."

"I know," Gu Wan sighed and finally withdrew her hand, "Ten days... there are still nine days." She deliberately dragged out the tone and screwed the lid of the ointment, "Nine days, I remember."

Si Yehan breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't bear to see Gu Wan's disappointed expression. He reached out and pulled her in front of him, and gently kissed her forehead, "You know how much I miss you."

Gu Wan looked up at his serious expression, and the dissatisfaction in her heart gradually dissipated. She knew that Si Yehan did this out of consideration for her health. "I know," she leaned on his uninjured shoulder, "it's just that you are too tempting, Mr. Si."

Si Yehan chuckled, the vibration of his chest reaching Gu Wan's ears, "I should be the one saying this, Miss Gu." He pinched her nose gently, "Now, can you allow me to take a cold shower?"

Gu Wan smiled and pushed him, "Go ahead, be careful not to fall again."

Si Yehan stood up and looked back at her when he reached the door, his eyes filled with tenderness and uncontrollable love.

Gu Wan's heart softened instantly, "What an idiot."

After the door closed, Gu Wan lay back on the bed and buried her face in the pillow that still carried Si Yehan's scent.

Nine days, and nine more. She wasn't sure if she could hold on that long, but for Si Yehan, she was willing to try.
