A delicate and gentle educated youth came to the village, and the aloof and cold soldier king droppe

"Huh? Where is he?" Su Niannian blinked and began searching for Gu Nan's figure.

All that could be heard was a rustling sound coming from the grass not far away.

Su Niannian quickly turned her head away.

Then a grayish-brown thing leaped out of the bushes.

Su Niannian was completely focused on searching for Gu Nan, and this sudden turn of events really startled her for a moment.

He involuntarily took a step back with his right foot, and just then there was a pothole in the ground. He stumbled and almost fell.

Just then, a tall figure suddenly appeared beside Su Niannian.

He put one arm around Su Niannian's waist, which prevented her from tripping.

Su Niannian felt a warm sensation from the large hand around her waist.

There was only Gu Nan and her here, and the gray, leaping thing was clearly a gray wild rabbit.

Once Su Niannian was steady, the large hand that had been on her waist withdrew.

Gu Nan knew that this posture was a bit too ambiguous.

I felt that touching the girl's waist was somewhat offensive.

Just as Gu Nan was pulling his hand back, he felt something soft on his wrist.

Su Niannian grabbed Gu Nan's wrist, forcing Gu Nan's hand to stay on her waist.

This distance is too close.

Su Niannian was so close that she could clearly smell the pleasant soapy scent on Gu Nan's clothes.

Up close, Gu Nan could smell a faint osmanthus fragrance emanating from Su Niannian's hair.

Gu Nan felt his ears getting hot.

My heart rate has increased significantly.

The air around me felt thinner, and my breathing became somewhat difficult.

Su Niannian's cheeks were flushed; this was the closest she had ever been to Gu Nan since her rebirth.

The night was silent; at this moment, it was as if all the chirping of insects and birds had stopped.

All that could be heard was the sound of Gu Nan's heartbeat.

The hand gripping Gu Nan's wrist wasn't very strong, and Gu Nan could easily pull his hand back.

But at this moment, he didn't want to do that, letting those delicate little hands hold his wrist.

The warmth emanating from his palm traveled through Gu Nan's hand and reached his heart.

"You don't hate me, do you?" Su Niannian remained in this position, slightly raising her head to look at Gu Nan's face in the moonlight.

Looking into Gu Nan's eyes.

They didn't miss a single expression on Gu Nan's face.

The warm breath fell on Gu Nan's defined jawline, and Gu Nan unconsciously swallowed.

Su Niannian could clearly see his Adam's apple bobbing.

"I don't dislike it," Gu Nan said truthfully.

Since this afternoon, ever since Su Niannian stopped paying attention to him, his heart has been in turmoil.

He felt sad and unhappy.

He was not happy at all because Su Niannian distanced herself from him and stopped having anything to do with him.

He admitted that he had succumbed.

In just three days, he had fallen in love with the girl.

Although he felt that he was not good enough for such a beautiful girl, he was still deeply moved.

Thinking that being with her might subject her to some bad criticism and damage to her reputation.

But he can make it up to her in other ways.

He didn't want to see such a beautiful woman with someone else.

He would be so depressed.

"You just don't dislike it?" Su Niannian released her grip on Gu Nan's wrist when she heard him speak.

Gu Nan immediately felt a sense of loss, but since Su Niannian had already let go, even if he was reluctant, he couldn't put his arm around her waist anymore.

Just as Gu Nan withdrew his hand, he felt a soft sensation on his chest.

A pair of slender arms encircled her waist.

Warm breaths were exhaled directly onto his chest.

She hugged him tightly.

Gu Nan's hand froze in mid-air, unsure of where to put it.

Su Niannian's face was pressed against Gu Nan's chest, and through the thin clothes, she could hear the strong heartbeat in her ear more clearly.

"I just don't dislike it, right?" Su Niannian's voice was very gentle, as if it could melt everything in the world.

For a moment, Gu Nan even felt that he had lost the right to use his brain.

I felt completely blank, with only the violent beating of my heart remaining.

"I like it."

"Yes, I like it very much."

Gu Nan slowly lowered his stiff hands.

He pulled the little girl in front of him into a tight embrace.

This was the first time he had ever hugged a little girl.

And it was a girl he liked so much.

He has no other thoughts on anything else but her right now.

It seems that this world can only accommodate her.

Su Niannian was overjoyed; she had finally hugged him!

A familiar, warm embrace.

Her man.

This hug lasted for a very, very long time.

Su Niannian looked up at Gu Nan's face.

"So?" Su Niannian asked softly.

Gu Nan was completely immersed in this gentle yet warm embrace, and was a little unsure how to respond to Su Niannian's sudden words.

My brain regained its rationality and began to function at lightning speed.

At this point... there should be something to say?

Seeing Gu Nan staring blankly, Su Niannian pouted and turned her head away.

"You've already hugged me, so you're not planning to take responsibility for me, are you?" Su Niannian's aggrieved voice came from behind.

Gu Nan suddenly realized!

"I'll take responsibility!"

Gu Nan spoke in a low voice.

That voice is absolutely captivating.

“You said it yourself, I didn’t force you.” Su Niannian turned her head.

A blush crept back onto her cheeks, and Su Niannian hugged the man in front of her tightly.

Gu Nan returned the embrace with an even warmer one.

He even wanted to integrate her into his own body.

Holding the little girl in his arms, Gu Nan thought of his dream from last night.

Now he wants to be close to her, just like in his dreams.

Gu Nan rested his chin on the top of the little girl's head, forcefully suppressing the heat surging within his body.

"Near."

Gu Nan called Su Niannian's name in a deep voice.

The warm breath near her ear made Su Niannian feel lost in it.

"Ah."

"Can we not tell anyone about our relationship yet?"

Su Niannian felt her body stiffen.

Sensing the little girl's reaction in his arms, Gu Nan quickly explained.

"My family has a bad political background now, I'm afraid you'll be with me..."

Gu Nan hadn't finished speaking.

My lips were sealed by something soft.

The rest of the words were spoken in silence.

The interaction between lips and teeth, from youthful innocence to enduring warmth.

Gu Nan also changed from being passive to being proactive.

Su Niannian was being assaulted by Gu Nan's lingering kisses.

His kiss was passionate, yet it also revealed a sense of caution.

Su Niannian only managed to push Gu Nan's body when she felt that all the oxygen in the air had been taken away.

Su Niannian looked up at Gu Nan, and Gu Nan looked down at the little girl in front of him.

How can I tell her that I don't want others to know about our relationship because I want to protect her?

Will she think that what I'm saying now means I don't want to take responsibility?
