"Li Yuan, you’re a big jerk. For the rest of your life, you have to be responsible for me."
Li Yuan bent down and gently kissed her forehead. "I will," he said calmly.
Bai Weixi’s sadness turned to joy. She grabbed his hand and said coquettishly, "Then you can’t deliberately annoy me anymore, or ignore me. You can’t block or delete me, and you have to answer my calls."
Has she already completely slipped into the role of his girlfriend? Li Yuan was speechless.
"Alright, I promise. But you have to behave, too."
Bai Weixi giggled, her face brimming with a smile. "Hmph, I’ve always been well-behaved."
"Do you remember? Back in our third year of high school, when we were deskmates, the power suddenly went out in the classroom. You secretly held my hand and even kissed my cheek. You told me not to make a sound, and I obediently kept quiet..."
Li Yuan smiled. It was painful to look back on the past, but those memories were truly beautiful. If it weren’t for what happened after their sophomore year of college, they would have been etched into his heart forever.
Li Yuan pinched Bai Weixi’s cheek. "As expected of a top student. Your memory is amazing."
Bai Weixi suddenly asked shyly, "Li Yuan, can I... take this bedsheet with me?"
Today was her first time.
Without another word, Li Yuan got up and retrieved a spare key from a storage box in the room.
"This is the key to the house. From now on, you’re its mistress. You can come whenever you want."
Bai Weixi blankly accepted the key, feeling as if she were in a dream. She looked at him seriously and asked, "Li Yuan, can I really come here anytime I want?"
Li Yuan nodded and took her hand with a smile. "I told you, you’re the mistress of this house."
But there was something Li Yuan left unsaid. It was only *this* house. He owned more than one property, and he would have even more in the future. He couldn’t possibly stop just for Bai Weixi. Once a thorn takes root in the heart, no matter what you do, it can never be completely removed. He still preferred a treasure of a girl, one who was as pure and unblemished as a blank page. As for Bai Weixi, she was once his inner demon. Now, that demon was vanquished, the grudges dissolved, the debt settled. There was no more resentment.
Clutching the key tightly, Bai Weixi suddenly burst into tears again...
"Li Yuan, thank you."
Li Yuan slipped back under the covers and chuckled. "If you really want to thank me, we can go for another round."
Bai Weixi’s body trembled. Her hand felt... something, and she hesitated. "I... I’m a little sore. Not right now."
Li Yuan gave her crimson face a lecherous look. "Then we’ll have to find another way."
"Huh? What other way is there?" she asked shyly.
Li Yuan whispered something in her ear, causing her to blush and scold him, "Li Yuan, you’re such a pervert!"
He hugged her. "Bai, you don’t want to see me suffering like this, do you?"
Bai Weixi’s cheeks were so red it looked as if blood might drip from them. She shot Li Yuan a look, pursed her lips, and said, "Then... you go wash up first."
Li Yuan hadn’t expected her to actually agree. His spirits lifted as he quickly sat up to give her enough space. "I already washed up while you were asleep."
"Mhm." Bai Weixi hummed softly, lowering her head in shyness. She shrank down, disappearing completely under the covers.
Suddenly, Li Yuan flinched. "HISS! Bai, are you part dog or something? Don’t bite..."
