Even though she had been sharing the same bedroom with Su Canghai for three years, it was the first time they slept this close.

“What if you cross the line?” Su Changfeng asked.

“You’re overthinking it.

There’s no way I would cross the line.” Tang Qiulu said with a determined look.

Su Changfeng smiled without saying anything.

Tang Qiulu was a restless sleeper, often starting off at the head of the bed and waking up at the foot, something she couldn’t control.

But for Su Changfeng, as long as he didn’t cross the line, it wouldn’t matter what position Tang Qiulu woke up in.

At 6 o’clock the next morning, Tang Qiulu found Su Changfeng had stayed on his side of the bed and felt a sense of relief.

After washing up, Tang Qiulu noticed that Su Changfeng hadn’t gotten out of bed.

“Are you so comfortable that you don’t want to get up?

Aren’t you going for a run today?” Tang Qiulu asked.

“I’m taking a day off.” Su Changfeng replied.

Tang Qiulu walked to the bedside and took Su Changfeng’s hand.

“I’m not used to it if you don’t go with me,” she said.

Su Changfeng broke out in a cold sweat for a moment, but his expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said, “I can go.”

Usually, washing his face and brushing his teeth were routine tasks, but for Su Changfeng, they were unusually difficult this morning.

It took extra effort to finish these tasks, and cold sweat had already soaked his clothes.

“What’s wrong with you?

Why are you sweating so much this morning?” Tang Qiulu asked curiously upon seeing the sweat marks on Su Changfeng’s clothes.

“Don’t you think it’s a bit hot today?” Su Changfeng replied.

Even in summer, it was quite cool in the morning on Xianwu Mountain, so Tang Qiulu didn’t pay much attention, thinking it might be due to his physical condition.

“Let’s go.”

They ran from halfway up the mountain to the top; the route was winding but not much different from when they used to do morning runs without staying at Xianwu Mountain.

Once at the summit, taking deep breaths was Tang Qiulu’s favorite thing to do.

However, she felt a bit nervous this morning.

Earlier, she had tried to hold Su Changfeng’s hand, but to her, it didn’t mean crossing a line.

Since they had already been sleeping in the same bed, Tang Qiulu wanted their relationship to improve gradually.

Although one can’t rush things, taking it slow was necessary.

She also understood that if she didn’t initiate this step, Su Changfeng wouldn’t, because he was very considerate of her feelings.

If she didn’t agree, he wouldn’t do anything to make her uncomfortable.

Quietly walking up to Su Changfeng, Tang Qiulu pointed to Hai City below and said, “Thank you so much.

If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to look down on Hai City from this viewpoint.”

“But this place isn’t that picturesque,” Su Changfeng said.

“Then where do you think is more beautiful?” Tang Qiulu asked, puzzled.

Su Changfeng pointed in the direction of Beijing and said, “Over there, there’s a city called Beijing.”

Seeing an opportunity, Tang Qiulu pretended to accidentally hit Su Changfeng’s hand and then held it, saying, “You’re thinking too far.

What is Beijing?

Tang Family doesn’t even have the right to go there.

Nervous, Tang Qiulu couldn’t control her strength and tightly grasped Su Changfeng’s hand.

A sharp pain shot through it, but Su Changfeng continued to smile.

Holding hands with Tang Qiulu was worth such a minor injury.

“Someday, I’ll go with you to Beijing to see a different landscape,” Su Changfeng said.

“I believe you,” Tang Qiulu said, looking earnestly at Su Changfeng.

This time, instead of running back down the mountain like usual, they walked hand in hand, appreciating the scenery of Xianwu Mountain, with a sweet scent in the air.

After breakfast, Su Changfeng and Tang Qiulu stood by the car, but both stood at the passenger seat.

“What are you doing?” Tang Qiulu asked, puzzled.

Su Changfeng could endure what had happened earlier, but he could pose a risk if he drove, especially if he let Tang Qiulu get hurt, he would never forgive himself.

Su Changfeng hesitated and didn’t speak.

Anxiously, Tang Qiulu asked, “Is there something you can’t tell me?”

Su Changfeng felt a pang in his heart.

They had just made progress in their relationship; he didn’t want to cause any misunderstanding that would undo all his recent efforts.

“Actually, my hand is injured, and I can’t drive,” Su Changfeng finally admitted.

“Injured?” Tang Qiulu looked at Su Changfeng, puzzled.

She couldn’t see anything wrong with his hand.

They were just holding hands, even if a bit shakily, but she thought Su Changfeng might be excited.

Taking Su Changfeng’s hand, Tang Qiulu asked, “Does it hurt?

Is it serious?”

“It’s not too serious, but I can’t drive.

If anything happened, it wouldn’t be good,” Su Changfeng said.

“Let’s go to the hospital,” Tang Qiulu said from the driver’s seat to Su Changfeng.

“It’s okay.

I just need to rest a while,” Su Changfeng replied.

Staring at Su Changfeng, Tang Qiulu commanded, “I want you in the car now.”

“Alright then,” Su Changfeng replied, looking helpless as he got in the car.

At the hospital, Su Changfeng first got an X-ray.

Once it was ready, they took it to the doctor, with Tang Qiulu bustling around the whole time, which touched Su Changfeng deeply.

“Doctor, please take a look at the x-ray.

How’s it?” Tang Qiulu asked the doctor.

The doctor took one glance at the x-ray and immediately looked incredulous, asking Su Canghai, “What exactly did you do to your hand?

Apart from your thumb, all your fingers are fractured, and they’re all comminuted fractures!”

Fractured?

Comminuted fractures?

Tang Qiulu froze on the spot, shocked that the injury was so serious, and yet Su Changfeng hadn’t said a word to her!

Earlier that morning during their run, she had tightly held his hand, and he’d uttered no sound of pain.

So his hand was trembling not from excitement, but because the pain was unbearable?

Tang Qiulu immediately burst into tears, her tears cascading down her cheeks, and she asked Su Changfeng, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?

I held your hand so tight, didn’t you feel the pain?”

With a gentle smile, Su Changfeng said, “At that moment, it was the first time you held my hand.

That pain was nothing compared to holding your hand.”

Tang Qiulu stepped up to Su Changfeng and gave his chest two punches, angrily saying, “Why are you so foolish?

I used a lot of force.

Why didn’t you let go?

There will be a next time I’ll hold your hand, you know.”

Su Changfeng shook his head and said, “I cherish every time you hold my hand.”

“You…”
