If we swapped lives, I'd be the CEO and you'd take care of the kids.

It feels familiar!

The same thought occurred to both of them at the same time.

It seemed like a long time had passed before Zhu Tingyue finally came to her senses and pulled their lips apart.

Shen Yanqiu opened her closed eyes, still a moment of confusion, not understanding why Zhu Tingyue had suddenly left.

Upon seeing Zhu Tingyue's slightly angry expression, he quickly lowered his head and buried it in Zhu Tingyue's arms again.

Zhu Tingyue stood there quietly, without saying a word.

The gentle moonlight shone on her, making her fair skin appear even more translucent.

She lowered her head slightly, and the moonlight illuminated her bright red ears, making them look as vibrant and luscious as ripe cherries.

My heart, which had just managed to regain its peace, is now like a lake where a pebble has been thrown in, stirring up ripples that continue to churn.

Shen Yanqiu, standing to the side, was in no better shape. His ears were even redder than Zhu Tingyue's, like burning flames that spread all the way to his cheeks, making his face look as if it were tinged with a light rouge, making him look shy and charming.

At this moment, he was listening intently to Zhu Tingyue's heart pounding like a deer's.

Strangely enough, for some reason, my heart started beating uncontrollably in sync with hers, and the two beat at the same frequency!

In the night sky, a bright moon hangs high, its pure light pouring down, as if draping the whole world in a silver veil, making it appear hazy and distant.

The soft moonlight, like a veil, fell upon the two people who were tightly embracing, outlining their beautiful silhouettes.

In this tranquil night, time seemed to stand still. Everything around them became quiet and silent, except for the rustling of leaves in the breeze and the intertwined heartbeats and breaths of the two.

At this moment, it seemed as if only the two of them remained in the world, leaning on each other and immersed in this sweet and warm atmosphere.

Zhu Tingyue's legs went numb from standing, while Shen Yanqiu was completely immersed in Zhu Tingyue's embrace.

Zhu Tingyue conceded defeat, realizing she would collapse if she continued standing.

"Um...can you let go now?"

Zhu Tingyue spoke cautiously, her eyes revealing a hint of shyness and unease.

However, Shen Yanqiu seemed not to hear her and continued to hold her tightly, refusing to let go.

At this moment, Shen Yanqiu secretly prayed that she could become deaf! That way, she wouldn't have to face Zhu Tingyue's request or think about whether she should let her go.

Being nestled so gently by Zhu Tingyue, and feeling the faint fragrance emanating from her body, was an indescribably wonderful experience.

"Shen Yanqiu! My legs are numb!"

Zhu Tingyue spoke again, this time her voice sounding even more pitiful.

Shen Yanqiu then snapped out of his daze and quickly let go of her hands, afraid that if he waited any longer, Zhu Tingyue would feel uncomfortable.

Even after loosening his arms, Shen Yanqiu still held the person in his embrace.

Shen Yanqiu asked with concern, "Where does it hurt? Tell me, and I'll rub it for you."

As he spoke, he reached out his slender fingers and gently stroked Zhu Tingyue's calf, trying to relieve her numbness.

Zhu Tingyue wasn't actually numb, she just had that feeling. Seeing the tension in Shen Yanqiu's eyes, she suddenly couldn't say anything.

"Hmm? Where?" Shen Yanqiu asked again.

"It's alright now," Zhu Tingyue said softly, trying to break free from Shen Yanqiu's warm embrace.

However, those strong arms were like an insurmountable wall, holding her tightly.

Finally, after a little struggle, Zhu Tingyue successfully escaped the embrace that made her heart race.

To avoid the embarrassing moment from before from spreading again, Zhu Tingyue subconsciously took a few steps back, creating some distance between herself and Shen Yanqiu.

In just a moment, Shen Yanqiu's arms suddenly felt empty, as if he had lost the most precious treasure in the world.

At this moment, Shen Yanqiu's eyes, which were originally as bright as stars, dimmed, just like the moon in the night sky that was covered by dark clouds, instantly losing all its brilliance.

That gloomy expression made Zhu Tingyue's heart tighten, and a strange sense of reluctance welled up in her heart.

So, she unconsciously took a step forward, one step, two steps... slowly approaching Shen Yanqiu.

As she drew closer, she could clearly see his deep eyes gradually regaining their luster, like the sunlight breaking through the dawn, slowly dispelling the darkness.

When Shen Yanqiu's eyes fully lit up again, Zhu Tingyue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

"Your eyes are so bright!" Zhu Tingyue praised sincerely. "They're so beautiful."

"Of course! Don't you even look inside?" Shen Yanqiu was anything but modest.

Zhu Tingyue leaned closer to look, but saw nothing.

"have what?"

"There's a moon!"

You are my moon!

Shen Yanqiu's lips curled up slightly, and her eyes were as gentle as water, deep and bright.

He stared straight at Zhu Tingyue, as if he could envelop her entirely, causing Zhu Tingyue to involuntarily sink into this pool of spring water.

"Tch, as if nobody can't see it!"

Zhu Tingyue gave a coquettish laugh and forcefully shook her hand, as if trying to shake off the flutter in her heart caused by Shen Yanqiu's overly gentle gaze.

Clearly, Zhu Tingyue was not satisfied with Shen Yanqiu's answer.

Faced with Zhu Tingyue's dissatisfaction and coquettishness, Shen Yanqiu simply smiled and remained silent.

His smile carried a hint of doting, a hint of indulgence, and a touch of enigmatic mystery.

He loves the moon, but the moon doesn't know!

"The moon is so bright tonight! I love it!"

He also really liked the moon in front of him!

Zhu Tingyue looked up as he spoke. There wasn't a single cloud in the sky. A full moon hung in the deep blue night sky, lonely and cold. It cast its light down, covering the earth with a layer of silvery white.

"On what day is the moon not bright?" Zhu Tingyue seemed to be murmuring.

"It's bright every day, bright when it comes out, and bright even when it doesn't come out."

"How is that possible? The moon hasn't even come out yet, how do you know if it's bright or not?" Zhu Tingyue didn't believe it.

"It is the moon, shining only for itself, never for anyone else!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Tingyue's face was filled with disbelief: "You've been staying at home for more than half a month and you've become a philosopher? Now you speak in such a literary style?"

Shen Yanqiu took it as a compliment, lowered her head shyly, rubbed her hands, and whispered, "No, I just said it from the heart."

"Oh~, just a spontaneous thought! I was so shallow!"

"No, I just said it offhand. How could I have such high literary attainments?"

"You don't have it?" Zhu Tingyue asked him, frowning. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Shen Yanqiu meaningfully, "You can have it!"

"Huh?" Shen Yanqiu looked blank, completely confused about what she was talking about.

"Just wait, I have a surprise for you!"

Zhu Tingyue's face lit up with an incredibly radiant smile, as if sunlight had pierced through the clouds.

Her bright, star-like eyes sparkled with joy, and the corners of her mouth turned up high, almost reaching her ears.

Seeing Zhu Tingyue's expression, Shen Yanqiu was puzzled and couldn't understand what could make her so happy.

However, despite her own doubts, Shen Yanqiu was genuinely happy for Zhu Tingyue.
