Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Thank You, Husband!

The girls around, having experienced that ordeal at night, were scared to death.

Yet she was still smiling so happily.

Should one say she lacks a heart and spirit, or that she is mentally strong?

With a smile in his eyes, Fu Yanci walked straight over.

Ye Li was complaining to Qin Chu about what had happened in the dormitory that night, teased by him that this softie had finally shown some spine.

The two of them chatted merrily.

Feeling a slight dip next to her, Ye Li subconsciously looked up to see Fu Yanci lying down.

Not sure if it was because he wasn’t planning to sleep,

or because he saw her playing on her phone.

The man didn’t turn off the light.

Their eyes met, and Ye Li panicked, her heart pounding like a little deer.

What to say?

Goodnight?

Or, I haven’t finished chatting. Can I play on my phone a little longer?

Before Ye Li could decide, she heard Fu Yanci say in a deep voice, "Aren’t you sleeping yet?"

"Uh... about to sleep!"

Ye Li nodded, glanced at the full screen of messages in the chat box, sent a "Goodnight, I’m going to sleep" to the still typing Qin Chu, and decisively muted and put away her phone.

The next instant, the bedroom light went out.

From light to dark, Ye Li almost instinctively shrank her shoulders.

A faint scent of sandalwood lingered in the air, making Ye Li’s body gradually relax.

Her mind was exceptionally clear.

She thought of herself weak and helpless by the telephone pole.

She thought of Zhou Hecchen, who tenderly wished Xiao Li well and then handed her a spiked drink.

And she thought of Fu Yanci, who appeared suddenly like a deity after her desperate cry of "Fu Yanci."

And outside the dorm building, Fu Yanci, who came through the snow to expose her little lie.

In the dark bedroom, Ye Li’s heart thudded wildly.

"Fu Yanci?"

The girl’s voice was breathy, unsure if she was testing whether he was asleep.

Fu Yanci, who had already closed his eyes, suddenly opened them.

Having waited a long time without hearing any more from her, knowing she would relax and sleep only after confirming he was asleep.

Just as Fu Yanci was about to close his eyes again, that soft whisper came again, "Husband, thank you!"

Thump!

Thump thump!

The sudden rapid heartbeat throbbed painfully in his ears, and in the darkness, Fu Yanci’s eyes narrowed sharply.

A caged beast roared loudly.

Clang!

Clang clang!

It rammed against the iron cage again and again, the iron chain around its neck clanging loudly, as if it wanted to break through the sturdy cage and leap forward.

To press her down, to imprison her within a close distance, and then to look into her eyes and confirm every word: What did you say? Say it again!

With tumultuous waves in his heart, Fu Yanci restrained himself and turned over to face her.

The next moment, he felt the girl’s body tense up, as if extremely nervous.

The beast inside Fu Yanci abruptly stopped moving.

Then, step by step, it slowly retreated back into the cage.

There was hurt.

But more than that, there was joy.

In the bedroom where the fragrance subtly wafted, the threads of sandalwood scent slowly faded, leaving only her light fragrance.

Through the slit in the curtain, a thin moonlight streamed in, not clear enough to see the girl’s face, but able to discern the rise and fall of the duvet beside him.

Letting him know, she was there.

The person who once seemed unattainable, now sleeping next to him, was something he dared not even dream of.

Not to mention, she had gone from formally calling him Uncle Fu to secretly calling him husband.

A lifetime is so long.

No rush!

Feeling relieved deep down, Fu Yanci closed his eyes again.

Consciousness slowly dissipating, a second before falling deep into sleep, the girl turned over, naturally rolling into his arms.

As if finding the scent pleasant.

Or perhaps the embrace warm.

The girl comfortably nuzzled her forehead.

With a tingling sensation at his heart, Fu Yanci couldn’t help but lower his head and gently captured the girl’s lips.
