Moonlight falls into my arms

The ending was nothing more than a happy ending, and Ruan Li hadn't watched it for so long that she had almost forgotten what was said before, so the ending wasn't that appealing to her.

She slowly took out her phone, thought carefully for a moment, and then sent a message to Tan Yue.

I'm with the person I love.

Tan Yue immediately sent a bunch of exclamation marks.

Ruan Li posted again.

But there's something strange between us.

Ruan Li secretly glanced at the distance between the two of them.

I feel like I don't know what to say or how to get along with him anymore, compared to before.

In the past, if Ruan Li didn't want to watch, she would have simply said she didn't want to watch and then picked up Jiang Yuci's phone to play games.

But now she can't bring herself to say it.

Friends and lovers are different. It's normal that you can't immediately switch from a friendship to a romantic relationship. Lovers are very intimate.

Ruan Li watched TV with Jiang Yuci, and there was still room for two people to sit in the middle. Tan Yue was very fast.

I want to get closer to him, but will that make me seem unreserved?

Tan Yue:

- You can start by finding some ambiguous topics, and then slowly get closer, so it won't seem abrupt.

Ruan Li turned off her phone, thought for a long time, and finally coughed.

"..." Why is she coughing?

Jiang Yuci thought she was cold.

As the weather warms up, the heating isn't on at home, so he went into the bedroom to get Ruan Li a gray blanket.

Ruan Li took it, and the two equally cold hands rubbed together, yet felt a burning sensation.

They separated again very soon.

"Are you still cold?" Jiang Yu asked.

Ruan Li shook her head, hugging the blanket draped over her. "I'm not cold anymore, sit down."

Jiang Yuci lowered his eyes and asked her, "Would you like some fruit?"

While Ruan Li was still thinking, Jiang Yuci turned around to get some fruit.

Ruan Li grabbed his hand, "I won't eat."

“Oh…” Jiang Yuci sat down again.

Ruan Li was already far away from him, and now she was wrapped in a blanket by herself, and the two seemed to be keeping to themselves.

"Oh, right, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion yet." Ruan Li turned to look at him. "I'll prepare a gift for you next time."

Jiang Yuci pursed her lips and nodded: "Thank you."

Ruan Li moved closer to him, "Won't you... get into trouble if you go to the hospital tomorrow?"

Ruan Li gripped the blanket with one hand, while the other hand hung naturally at her side, revealing her fingertips.

Jiang Yuci glanced at him and then shook his head calmly. "Don't worry."

After saying that, he took Ruan Li's hand in his, his dry, warm palm enveloping hers.

Ruan Li blushed and her heart pounded as she turned to look at the television.

The seemingly boring ending has somehow led to the main characters' wedding.

The two were taken to their bridal chamber, where the room was filled with red candles and festive silks, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.

Ruan Li clenched her fists tighter, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her palms.

The touch that had just been covering her hand suddenly left, and Ruan Li looked over.

Jiang Yuci suddenly stood up. "You've finished your water, I'll go get some more."

Ruan Li watched him bend down and take the water glass from the coffee table. After a while, he came back with a plate of fruit.

The whole plate was brought to Ruan Li, who picked up a fork and ate a piece.

She took a bite, hesitating whether or not to feed Jiang Yuci a piece.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Ruan Li looked down at the plate, which only had one fork.

"I'll eat the mango." He glanced at the TV, then looked back at Ruan Li, who was staring at him blankly.

He immediately changed his mind: "It's okay if I don't eat it."

He coughed. "I'll go collect the laundry."

Jiang Yuci got up, picked up her phone, and went outside.

Huo Xingzhou had just finished packing up his documents and was getting off work when his good friend called.

"Jiang Yuci, you really know how to pick your time." Huo Xingzhou took off his suit jacket and loosened his tie. "If you had called me earlier, I would have had a reason to refuse the call. What a pity."

Jiang Yu resigned: "......"

"Let's talk business?"

"I'm with Ruan Li now, she's my girlfriend."

Huo Xingzhou tossed his coat and tie to the passenger seat next to him. "Oh, so what? Who asked you?"

"You've had girlfriends before, haven't you?"

Huo Xingzhou laughed angrily: "Right? I'm 100% sure we talked about it."

"How do you two usually get along?" Jiang Yuci had thought about living with Ruan Li, just like before.

But for some reason, the atmosphere was just weird tonight, even though we were just sitting together watching TV.

He handed Ruan Li a blanket, and Ruan Li looked up at him with a blank expression, which gave Jiang Yuci the feeling of luring a little rabbit back to the wolf's den.

"How can we get along? It's just a small thing, like having a meal, having some drinks, and watching a movie at home."

Jiang Yuci rested her elbows on the dryer, her eyes fixed: "Watch a movie...how do we watch it?"

"No, how else can you watch a movie? With your eyes, of course. What else do you want to watch it with, your feet?"

“But I can sense that Ruan Li isn’t very comfortable…” Jiang Yuci’s fingertips unconsciously slid along the wall, moving back and forth. “She keeps looking at me and fidgeting.”

"If you hold her, she can't move around anymore, right?" Huo Xingzhou grumbled. "I've been busy all day and just got off work. Do you expect me to teach you how to date? Am I your brother or your workhorse?"

"You and your ex-girlfriend watched a movie while you were hugging?" Jiang Yuci lowered her voice. "We just started dating, how could you hug her..."

"That girl was looking you over and over, observing you. Her constant touching shows you haven't given her enough security. While it's true that relationships take time, you've already kissed...twice..."

Huo Xingzhou was talking when the phone was hung up.

He chuckled, "Why did you hang up the phone for no reason..." Huo Xingzhou gave a meaningful smile, "Could it be that you're shy?"

Jiang Yuci took the clothes out of the dryer...

Huo Xingzhou's words were still echoing in his mind.

"Why did it take you so long?" Ruan Li followed her in to see.

Jiang Yuci turned around, his palms supporting his back; he hadn't hung any of his clothes to dry yet.

Seeing him with his hands behind his back as if hiding something, Ruan Li asked in confusion, "Aren't you hanging up the laundry?"

Jiang Yuci nodded, took two steps forward, put his hand on her shoulder, and pushed her out. "Okay, let's go once it's dried."

Ruan Li was forced to turn around and walk outside, and Jiang Yuci used one hand to close the door behind her.

I'll hang the clothes up to dry when I have some free time...

The two of them just happened to miss the main couple's wedding night when they parted ways.

As the finale draws to a close, Ruan Li still remembers what Tan Yue said to her.

If we don't start now, it will be too late.

She glanced at Jiang Yuci beside her.

His eyes were fixed intently on the television screen. The living room lights were off, with only the dim floor lamps on both sides. The interplay of light and shadow on his face created a deep and somber expression, while his eyes reflected warm light.

"Why did you say I kissed you twice..." Ruan Li asked abruptly.

Jiang Yuci's breath hitched, and she seemed like a game character stuck in a glitch, her breathing shallow.
