Shen Yueyan's lips curled into a playful smile. "What do you think?"
"We are real lovers now." From his tone and expression, anyone could tell that he was only joking around.
"I knew you would say it." She giggled softly.
"Then, should we go to my hometown tomorrow?" he asked playfully.
Instead of answering, she asked, "Why?"
"To introduce you to my family," he replied. "How is it?"
"I don't want to," she turned her head to the other side, but in the next second, a tiny smile spread across her pretty face.
"Bad lover!" he pinched her nose gently.
"Hehe." She giggled. "Alright. Let's go home now. It would be bad if it rained again."
"Alright." He nodded.
A moment later, the duo reached the parking lot.
"Hold on to me." he was braver than before because their relationship had gotten closer.
"Un." Shen Yueyan listened to him and wrapped her arms around his waist.
After starting the engine, he asked, "Are you ready?"
"I'm ready." She replied cheerfully.
Then, he began driving the motorbike.
On their way to her home, a cheerful smile never left her face. Shen Yueyan didn't know why, but for some reason, their ride to her place felt pleasant.
The wind felt like a gentle embrace, and the streets transformed into a beautiful garden.
She even felt like all the weight had been lifted off her shoulders, as if Ling Tian was a source of happiness.
'This feels so good!'
At this moment, she didn't realize that she was acting like a girlfriend clinging to her boyfriend because her heart was filled with happiness.
"Tian, don't you feel that everything around us looks so beautiful right now?" She smiled cheerfully as she placed her head on his back.
"Yes," he acted normally when she still called him by his birth name. "Maybe this is what happiness feels like."
"Yeah. I'm sure this is what happiness feels like." She embraced him more tightly as flowers bloomed in her heart.
'This makes me wish this ride would never end.'
It was strange how a simple ride could bring so much happiness, but she didn't question it and just savored the moment.
'I wonder what other people think when they see us. Do they see us as a couple in love or just two people riding a motorbike together?'
At this moment, a special feeling blossomed in her heart, but she hadn't noticed it because her heart was filled with happiness.
Several minutes later, they arrived at her home.
Shen Yueyan skimmed her surroundings in shock when he stopped the motorbike and turned off the engine because she felt like they had just left Qinghai Lake.
"Yueyan, we have arrived at your place." He didn't get off the motorbike because she was still embracing him.
"Ah!" She unwrapped her arms when she came to her senses.
Now, they stood face to face beside his motorcycle.
At this moment, a part of her wished they could ride a little longer, but she didn't know how to express her feelings, so she only stared at him.
'Should I invite him in?'
An idea popped up in her mind.
'But he said he was busy tonight.'
He previously said he had college assignments that needed to be done, so she dropped the idea immediately.
"What's wrong?" he asked curiously.
"Nothing." She shook her head.
"Then, I will go home now." Actually, he felt the same, but he didn't have much free time, so he decided to leave immediately.
Once he was on his motorbike, she smiled and said gently, "Drive safely."
"Un." He nodded. "My love, I had a wonderful time today."
"Me too." She didn't complain about her nickname this time. "I really enjoyed it too, Tian."
He started the engine and said, "I will go home now. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." She replied with a small wave and a soft smile.
Shen Yueyan didn't enter her home right away.
Instead, she remained standing there and kept smiling as if he were still by her side.
'Thank you for sending me home and giving me a beautiful memory, Tian.'
----
Shen Yueyan was currently sitting on the bed with her back leaning against the headboard.
After entering her home, she took a bath and rested in her bedroom.
Her face was full of smiles because a memory of the wonderful time she had shared with him at the Huang Restaurant suddenly flashed through her mind.
'Has he arrived home?'
She grabbed her smartphone and sent a message.
Several seconds later, she got a reply from him.
[I've arrived home. I just finished taking a shower.]
She was delighted when he answered quickly because it felt like he was putting her first.
[Really? Then prove it!]
Her eyes widened in shock when he sent a photo of himself. She previously only joked around and teased him.
She never expected him to take it seriously.
'He has an amazing body!'
She could not help but gulp her saliva.
Ling Tian sent a photo of himself half-naked, so she was stunned after opening the picture.
'Is he trying to seduce me right now?'
She zoomed in and out to get a better look.
While she was looking at his alluring stomach, he sent another message.
[Do you believe me now?]
She subconsciously nodded.
[You have a good body, Tian.]
She praised him.
[Thanks. What are you doing now?]
His lips curled up into a smile after reading it.
[Relaxing in my room and chatting with you.]
She answered immediately.
[Then, we are the same. I'm relaxing on my bed and chatting with you, too. Yueyan, how about we have breakfast together tomorrow?]
He wanted to be with her again, so he used breakfast as an excuse.
[Sure.]
She agreed instantly.
[It's a promise then.]
He smiled happily.
[Un.]
She sent a cute gif of a nodding little girl.
That night, both of them slept with happy smiles on their faces.
