"What do you want to say?"
Seeing him remain silent, she asked softly.
Unconsciously, she sat on his lap.
His eyes held a captivating expression, his brows and eyes as gentle as the moon, his thin lips parted as he spoke softly:
"Nothing, I just wanted to call you."
He remembered she loved the moon the most.
So he nicknamed her: artemis.
The moon goddess of ancient Greece.
And the day she cut ties with him, he felt as if his moon had also disappeared without a trace.
There was only one moon in the sky.
And only one her in the mortal world.
He only felt moved for this unique moon.
Su Yue could see he seemed immersed in a certain state, and at this moment, he was intoxicatingly handsome.
"What are you thinking about now?"
She was not as perceptive as him, not able to read people's hearts.
She could not see through him.
"Thinking of you."
Uttering words that were difficult to understand, she frowned slightly, thinking he was joking.
"Will Yue Yue always be with me?"
Just as she was about to ignore him and get up to put away the ointment, he suddenly pulled her into his arms, rubbing his chin against the top of her head.
Su Yue was stunned, and suddenly felt he was a little strange.
Could it be... Zhao Mo's matter was making him overly concerned again?
Therefore, even though the atmosphere at this moment was incredibly beautiful, she still got up from his embrace and looked at him.
"Chen Ziming," she called his name softly, "What's wrong with you?"
His expression darkened slightly, but his eyes were still filled with tenderness.
"It's nothing, I just want to ask my baby for a promise."
He was truly a little afraid.
Even though he had prepared himself before, he had still scared her away a few times.
She could always easily stir his heartstrings.
His heart, which yearned for her madly, could not withstand such tempting loss of control.
So he wanted her to give him a promise, so that even if he was afraid again in the future, he could trust her and she wouldn't run away.
Just like what he always said—
"I'm always here."
Asking her for a promise...
Su Yue was a little surprised.
She had only just begun to think about seriously continuing to be with him, and this promise seemed a bit too soon for her.
But seeing his expectant eyes, she couldn't refuse.
So, without much thought, almost instinctively, her expression turned serious, her clear eyes, like a flowing stream, looked at him.
Her red lips parted, clearly uttering a few words:
"Yes, I'll always be with you."
A relieved smile finally appeared on the man's face.
The next second, he reached out his large hand, cupped the back of her head, pulled her closer, and captured her soft lips in a kiss.
The kiss was so passionate.
So much so that Su Yue felt as if he had loved her for a very long time.
"Today is the seventh day, is it over?"
He stopped, his forehead touching hers, his voice low and husky, his unconcealed desire pouring out.
He truly couldn't bear it any longer.
Just like after their first time.
If he had never tasted it, it would have been fine.
But after knowing her wonderful taste, he wanted to keep her by his side and never be apart for a moment.
She hadn't passed his friend verification, and he knew she was about to run away again.
He didn't know how he endured the days until he saw her again.
He didn't even dare to go home.
Dare not lie on the bed that held her traces and scent.
Fearing that he would miss her even more, do something out of control, and push her further away.
And the morning he brought her home from the station.
He lay on the sofa, unable to sleep.
He was afraid she would secretly run away after waking up.
It was also because he was consumed by lust.
When she woke up and came to the living room, he called her over, intending only to see if her fever had subsided.
But as she approached him, her loose clothes couldn't hide her graceful figure as she walked, and the suppressed fire ignited again.
Finally overcoming his reason, he pulled her into his arms.
He always could not resist her temptation.
So even though he saw that her saying she missed him and liked him was not for pure reasons.
He was still willing to pretend not to understand.
As long as he could keep her by his side, he just wanted to keep her by his side.
Whatever she wanted to take from him.
Just take it.
After all, his entire being had always belonged to her.
