He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

After Qu's mother discovered their relationship, Fang Xue quickly found out as well. However, because she was away on a business trip and couldn't return in time, she only managed to make a phone call to Xu Zuo when she had a spare moment.

The call was short, lasting only about ten minutes.

Qu Yi was sitting on the sofa watching TV when the seat next to her suddenly sank in. The next second, his head was resting on her shoulder, and his arms were around her waist.

3333 stole a chicken leg in the kitchen and saw this scene when it came out. It was a little confused and recalled its collection of books.

He has truly read countless books, but...

Are the roles of host and task recipient reversed?

Why didn't you ask me what my mom said on the phone?

I understood the gist of her words and wanted her to ask.

Her gaze was still fixed on the television when she asked, "What did Auntie say?"

“During the twelve-minute call, she repeated the phrase ‘If I hurt you, beat me to death’ at least ten times.”

"You hurt me?"

"Do you think I would hurt you, sister?" Xu Zuo looked up and cupped her cheeks.

"What kind of harm are you referring to? Emotional harm?"

"Would I really hit you?"

"I'll run before I fight. By the way, if we split up, I can find other people, right?" Qu Yi asked without changing his expression.

Xu Zuo paused, then gritted his teeth and said, "I will absolutely not give you that chance."

"You, even if you want to, don't, even if you want to!"

When Fang Xue returned from her business trip, the two families sat down for a meal, but it wasn't as harmonious and pleasant as before.

However, this is mainly a matter of the atmosphere between the two adults.

Qu Yi and Xu Zuoke were completely unaffected.

"Sister, eat this, and this too, you like this..."

"Chestnut and spicy chicken, sister, have a chestnut."

Seeing that her bowl was getting fuller and fuller, she deliberately covered it and said to him, "Eat yours, I have enough."

Xu Zuogang, who was about to start cooking another dish, stopped and pitifully shrank back.

3333, who was observing remotely, took a bite of the potato chip on the table and mumbled, "[Host, why don't you give him some too? Look how pitiful he is.]"

Qu Yi was used to Xu Zuo's behavior, so when she heard 3333's suggestion, she thought for a moment and still put some food on his plate.

Xu Zuo's disappointment vanished, replaced by a bright smile that revealed his upper row of white teeth.

Fang Xue: "..."

I really can't bear to look at it, it's so worthless.

Qu's mother tugged at Fang Xue's clothes and whispered, "I think it's fine. All children are like this, why are we arguing about it?"

Fang Xue nodded: "Yes, then let's do it this way. If this kid does anything wrong in the future, you can give him a good beating."

After finishing their meal, Xu Zuo said to Qu Yi, "I overheard my mom saying she was going to beat me up, and now she's even getting Aunt Wang to beat me up too. Sister, I'm so pitiful~"

His skill in charming others is unparalleled; even girls are ashamed of themselves.

"Thank goodness, you didn't make me beat you up too."

“If I can decide the location, that’s not impossible.” Xu Zuo’s eyes lit up, as if he was particularly excited.

Qu Yi didn't know how to express her inner feelings.

It felt like... Xu Zuo was saying something incredible.

The remote 3333 let out a burp: [Burp! Wuhu~]

Time flies, and Xu Zuo has already graduated from university. Qu Yi attended his graduation ceremony, but she never expected that Xu Zuo, as an outstanding student representative, would propose to her after his speech.

Qu Yi had previously wondered why he would specially order a suit for a speech.

I get it now.

The boy in the suit knelt on one knee in front of her. His slightly wavy black hair was styled back today, revealing his smooth forehead. Under his thick eyebrows, his eyes held tension, anticipation, and a hint of unease.

His fingers, holding the ring, trembled slightly, and his entire body was tense.

On the stage, the spotlight shone on the two people.

Time seemed to move so slowly at that moment; it felt like hours, or perhaps even longer.

In his jet-black, star-like eyes, the red lips of the person before him parted slightly.

Xu Zuo only heard one "good", and then he couldn't hear anything else. He couldn't hear the cheers from the audience; he could only hear his own heartbeat.

bang, bang, bang...

Back home, Xu Zuo slowly regained his lost soul. He stood in the middle of the living room, something hot streaming down his face.

Tears?

Xu Zuo raised his hand and felt the warm, moist sensation.

"Xu Zuo, why are you crying?"

Qu Yi cried the first time she saw him.

Xu Zuo stretched out his long arm and hugged her, his voice muffled: "Don't look at me, I'm just excited."

He felt as if he had accomplished something extremely important. He had planned to propose for a long time, but he never expected that the success would be so shocking.

It's like finally getting what you've been longing for for years.

But why do I feel this way?

Has he ever longed for something he couldn't have?
