I Want a Lifetime with You

Shi Nuan felt like she was in a long dream. She dreamt that Fu Chengyan held her hand as they walked. She didn’t know where they were walking to, but she continued to follow him happily.

Fu Chengyan held onto her hand without letting go. No matter what happened, he was always beside her and never left.

Shi Nuan felt that the dream had lasted too long. Finally, she opened her bleary eyes and stared at the ceiling. Fragments of the dream lingered in her mind and overlapped with reality, as though she still hadn’t fully woken up. The warmth on Shi Nuan’s hand surprised her for a moment, and a vague memory surfaced in her mind. She turned her head in shock, only to meet a sleeping face.

That familiar face was right in front of her. The man’s skin was so smooth that it could make women jealous, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his high cheekbones.

Shi Nuan froze for a moment as her memories played back to when she was in the bathroom. She recalled being rendered unconscious by a man, but didn’t know what had happened next. Her lips felt rather numb. She reached out to touch them and realized that they were swollen.

Shi Nuan became even more frantic. She removed the blanket and prepared to get out of bed, but a pair of large hands held onto her wrist. Shi Nuan turned over to see that Fu Chengyan had already opened his eyes. He looked like he had just woken up, and he didn’t have the cold look he usually had in his eyes.

Fu Chengyan’s relaxed gaze fell on her. He simply looked at her for a long while before finally getting up and frowning slightly. “You’re up?”

He had just woken up, so his low voice was rather husky. It was as deep as a cello, but it sounded extremely pleasant. Shi Nuan’s chest tightened as her heart began to race. She pursed her lips and avoided Fu Chengyan’s eyes.

Fu Chengyan squinted his eyes as he scrutinized every movement Shi Nuan made. “Why aren’t you saying anything?” He teased.

Shi Nuan bit her lip and her eyes flitted around frantically. “You… I… Yesterday…”

“Nothing happened to you!” Fu Chengyan smiled as he squeezed Shi Nuan’s soft hand. “You’re perfectly fine!”

“Really?” Shi Nuan suddenly looked up at him, her eyes twinkling with pure joy. She clasped Fu Chengyan’s hand in return. “You’re not lying?”

“Why would I lie to you?” Fu Chengyan smiled faintly. He lifted the blanket to get down, still holding onto Shi Nuan’s hand.

Being held by him like that, Shi Nuan had no choice but to follow suit. Fu Chengyan handed Shi Nuan a pair of bedroom slippers. “The floor is cold.”

Shi Nuan lowered her gaze as warmth filled her heart. She put on the slippers and hesitated for a moment before saying, “I had an argument with Shi Wei last night, then someone made me faint when I came out of the restroom. What in the world happened?”

Back then, she was so afraid and didn’t know what to do. Right before passing out, she thought that she was done for. Yet, Fu Chengyan was now telling her that nothing had happened last night.
