Chapter 125: Chapter 124: (4 more)

Just by looking, one could tell her skin must be extremely delicate.

Her demeanor was so adorably improper that Jin Yu didn’t even understand how this woman had grown into such beauty that took one’s breath away.

Every furrow of her brow or pout of her lips had an alluring quality, even a simple and obedient "Oh" from her could make someone’s heart itch.

Jin Yu was certain of one thing, it wasn’t that the girl lacked propriety, it was that her looks were too unsettling.

No matter what she did, it was impossible to look away.

Jin Yu cleared his throat forcefully, "Make do with these, there are no smaller shoes in the house."

In fact, there were slippers belonging to Wu Lan, but Jin Yu didn’t mention them—he inexplicably enjoyed seeing her delicate feet slipping into his oversized slippers.

There was a guest room at home, but it had not yet been tidied up, so Jin Yu took Xu Niannian to his room.

Upon reaching the doorway of the room, Xu Niannian stopped, remembering this was Jin Yu’s room.

"You’re asking me to just sleep here? In your room?"

Being looked at with Xu Niannian’s seemingly reproachful yet not quite reproachful gaze made Jin Yu feel uneasy all over.

"The bed linens and covers were just changed this morning, I’ll sleep in my parents’ room next door, the guest room hasn’t been cleaned up yet."

Upon hearing this, Xu Niannian stopped dwelling on it.

Just like that, Jin Yu watched as Xu Niannian pushed open the door to his room, walked in, and then with a "bang," shut the door in his face.

From inside came her soft voice, "Thanks."

Jin Yu nearly had his nose hit; he curved his fingers to touch his unharmed nose, realizing she was on her guard against him, seemingly more so than against anyone else.

Only when she heard the footsteps fade away did Xu Niannian climb into bed with relief.

Jin Yu’s room was laid bare, spacious and simple.

Inside there was just a bed, a wardrobe, and a desk.

The bed sheets and covers were all black.

Burying her face into the pillow, she detected a clean scent, probably washed with soap.

After the tumult of the day, once she relaxed, it didn’t take long for Xu Niannian to fall deep into sleep.

While she slept soundly, in another room, Jin Yu with his hands clasped behind his head, lay staring up at the ceiling.

He had finally found the person he was searching for; after a whole day’s reflection, Jin Yu was no longer as excited as when he first found out.

Yet he still found it incredible.

After all the twists and turns, it turned out that Xu Jiaojiao was the person he had been looking for.

Because Xu Jiaojiao was that girl, Jin Yu’s mindset began to undergo subtle changes, ones he hadn’t even noticed himself.

Before this, all he wanted was to find that girl, to be responsible for her, marriage being the limit, providing her a peaceful life.

But all this hinged on one condition—that the girl wanted to marry him.

If she didn’t wish to marry him, he would offer her a sum of money and find her a stable job to ensure she could live comfortably for the rest of her life, as his form of compensation.

Now that he knew that person was Xu Niannian, Jin Yu hadn’t realized that he was trying by all means to get close to Xu Niannian, to get her to marry him.

Jin Yu thought that he acted this way because Xu Niannian was that girl, rather than because that girl was Xu Niannian.

The cause and effect were blurred in his subconscious.

He even thought that his painstaking efforts were merely because of a sense of responsibility.

A wall separated the two of them; the former, Xu Niannian, slept deeply, while the latter, Jin Yu, tossed and turned restlessly.

At 7 a.m., he had just managed to fall asleep.

It wasn’t long before he was abruptly awoken by two consecutive screams—one from Xu Niannian and the other from Ye Shaoting, a voice Jin Yu knew all too well.

Realizing what might have happened, Jin Yu shot open his eyes, leapt off the bed, and ran toward the room next door.
