So sweet! She's pampered like a precious gem in her little world.

Huo Zheng's guess was absolutely correct.

After the little girl woke up, she sweet-talked him for a while and was then coaxed into going to the bathroom to take a bath.

After they came out, he hugged the person and patiently dried their long hair.

It was already midnight when the two of them finished getting ready and lay down in bed.

As a result, his little darling's big eyes were wide open, showing no signs of sleepiness whatsoever.

Huo Zheng: "..."

He reached out and wrapped the restless little girl in the blanket, then picked her up and held her close in his arms.

"Can't sleep?"

With only her small face showing, Tuan Bao blinked her long eyelashes and whispered "Mmm".

The man tapped her nose and said softly, "You can't sleep because our sweetheart slept a little too long this afternoon, not because you did anything wrong. You don't need to feel guilty. You can just tell me frankly that you can't sleep."

Chu Yu immediately put her newfound knowledge to use: "I can't sleep right now, so you! Play with me for a while!"

Huo Zheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

How can his little baby be so cute?

"As you command, my little princess."

Embarrassed by the baby, she hid half her face under the covers and muttered softly, "What are you yelling about..."

The man reached out and pulled the blanket covering her nose away a little. "Be careful not to suffocate."

Then he lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "I didn't call her that. Chu Chu is my little princess."

From the moment they reunited until this moment, the man has not uttered a word about the bizarre incident of how she disappeared from the game and then suddenly reappeared in real life.

In the end, it was Chu Yu who couldn't help but ask first.

"Huo Zheng, aren't you curious why I'm here?"

The man holding her paused, his dark eyes swirling with emotions she couldn't decipher.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, his tone almost a sigh: "Chu Chu, I'm not as strong as you think. I'm also afraid."

"afraid of what?"

The man stared at him without blinking, his eyes dark and unfathomable. "I'm afraid I can't protect you, afraid I can't keep you, afraid of losing you again."

The excruciating pain nearly killed him the first time he experienced it.

It wasn't that he wasn't curious; he just subconsciously wanted to avoid the question.

They pretended nothing had happened, as if they were just an ordinary couple among the millions of lovers in the world.

Even if it's just a fleeting moment of pleasure.

What good is longing until death? Joyful moments in life are worth more than gold.

Chu Yu was stunned; she hadn't expected the man to view their reunion in this way.

A desperate gamble.

"Huo Zheng".

"Ah."

"I won't leave you, I promise."

So, you shouldn't be so anxious about gains and losses anymore.

The man hugged her tighter and buried his head in the blanket next to her face.

Chu Yu felt his slight trembling and a few very faint gasps.

He cried?

"Huo Zheng..."

"Baby, you keep your word."

A hoarse voice came from under the covers, muffled and tinged with a hint of obsession.

"Yes, I promise, I will never disappear suddenly again. If I break my promise, then let me..."

The rest of her words were kissed into his lips. Huo Zheng lowered his head and gently and tenderly kissed her soft lips, then forcefully pried open her teeth and entwined his tongue with hers...

When the kiss ended, both of their breathing became erratic.

The man pressed his forehead against hers and said in a hoarse voice, "Chuchu, just make a promise, there's no need for any assumptions."

The assumption she was about to make was nothing more than those near-cursing words sworn in poison.

He just hearing about it was unacceptable.

Moreover, if the assumption comes true, it would be a fatal blow to him.

He simply couldn't take any more.

The topic was somewhat heavy, and both of them were in a somber mood.

Huo Zheng changed the subject: "Honey, given your current status, is there anything I can help you with?"

He pondered his words for a long time, unsure how to ask the question.

In fact, he still doesn't know whether the baby is using someone else's body or what.

"No need. The original owner of this body died unexpectedly, and I am now living here in her body."

She spoke calmly, but Huo Zheng was inwardly horrified.

After all, in the lives of ordinary people, this series of events is simply too outrageous.

But he was still extremely grateful, thankful for all the irrationality and unusualness that gave him the opportunity to meet his little girl and for the good fortune to have her in real life.

"Initially".

"Ok?"

"Would you like to be with me? Like, be my girlfriend now, and be my wife later."

Huo Zheng was worried that Zai Zai wouldn't understand what he meant by "together," so he gave a rambling explanation.

The baby was moved and struggled to reach out and wrap her arms around the man's neck. She tilted her head back and kissed him on the cheek.

"OK!"

-

For the next few days, Huo Zheng stayed with her in a hotel.

He didn't take her home, which she hadn't expected.

Huo Zheng was supposed to return to Huo Corporation to take over his work, but because the young girl had only just returned to his side, he was still uneasy and postponed it for a while.

Fearing she might feel uncomfortable, Huo Zheng specifically explained that this presidential suite was originally his room, and he was the only one who had ever stayed there a few times.

Chu Yu hadn't worried about that.

Given a man's possessiveness towards her, how could he possibly let her continue living in a room that someone else had slept in?

The two have been living together and sleeping in each other's arms all this time, but Huo Zheng has never truly possessed her.

According to the man's own explanation, he wanted to be truly with her in their own home.

Chu Yu didn't quite understand men's strange sense of ritual.

But she was really worried that he would get bored.

Several times when she woke up in the middle of the night, she would see her younger brother standing guard diligently.

Will Huo Zheng be able to sleep well?

That morning, Huo Zheng hugged the little girl and asked for a kiss.

"Baby, can I kiss you a little longer, okay?"

The girl angrily pushed him away, saying, "No! I'm still in pain!"

That scoundrel! He talks a good game, but he never actually went all the way. He's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve!

He kissed every inch of her skin, especially the most sensitive spots, leaving her feeling both pained and numb...

"Can you give me a kiss, baby?"

The shameless golden retriever brazenly turned half its face to kiss her.

Chu Yu: "..."

Is it okay for her to go back to the game now?

Who would have thought that the man in real life would be a hundred times more clingy to her than the man in the game!

During this period, she was almost constantly on the ground; even going to the toilet required a man to carry her there.

"Huo Zheng".

"What's wrong, baby?"

Are we going to live here forever?

She couldn't help but ask.

Although the man took meticulous care of her, and everything she ate, wore, and used here was top-notch.

But in her heart, this was not home.

It's probably a deeply ingrained belief.

To her surprise, the man chuckled softly, kissed her, and replied gently, "Baby, don't worry, our home will be finished soon."

He raised his hand and tidied the stray hairs at her temples. "Chu Chu, I will give you a home, a home that belongs to us."

This peace of mind is my hometown.

I just want to put your mind at ease.

Because where you are is the ends of the earth that I cannot help but miss, and also my eternal home.
