Chapter 105: You Don’t Know How Lucky You Are
The hotel they stayed in was pretty good. Although the room was a bit small, Su Moyu felt that the price of 200 was still worth it.
Bai Shuchuan opened the door, and Su Moyu followed him inside.
She actually liked staying outside sometimes, enjoying the feeling of sleeping in a different place.
But this time, she wasn’t here for travel…
Su Moyu closed the door. The room had a slightly unfamiliar smell, which made her feel a hard-to-describe sense of being away from home.
She walked up to Bai Shuchuan and quietly looked at his expression.
Bai Shuchuan met her eyes and gave a small smile, trying to tell her not to worry.
Su Moyu swallowed, her eyes showing a bit of hesitation.
At a time like this… why was Bai Shuchuan acting so calm?
She instinctively pressed her lips together, and in the next second, she felt a hand wrap around her waist.
He pulled her into his arms. Her head rested on his shoulder, and Bai Shuchuan’s face was very close.
Before she could react, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
“Mm…”
Su Moyu accidentally made a sound, and her face turned red instantly.
Why is it suddenly like this again…
She wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling his breath brush against her face. Their soft lips pressed together, and she slowly got lost in it again.
If she thought about it carefully, kissing should feel a bit gross. But once they actually kissed, every cell in her body felt excited and alive.
A sweet, almost intoxicating feeling spread through her heart. Her mind went blank, and she only wanted to stay in his warm embrace and love.
She didn’t know how long it lasted before Bai Shuchuan finally let her go.
Su Moyu lay in his arms and let out a breath, then reached up and pinched his cheek.
“It’s been a long time,” she said softly.
“Hm?” Bai Shuchuan gave a confused sound, like he was asking if she meant the kiss.
“Since we got on the train, there was no chance…” Su Moyu said while checking the time on her phone. “It’s almost ten hours.”
Bai Shuchuan looked at her with a gentle, loving expression.
He lowered his eyes and looked at her pretty face in his arms. Warmth slowly spread in his heart.
“I didn’t expect that one day we would really act like a couple who can’t keep their hands off each other,” Su Moyu said, blinking. She held one of his hands and played with his fingers.
Bai Shuchuan held her hand tightly, but Su Moyu pulled away and playfully locked their fingers together again.
“What’s wrong with that?” he asked.
Su Moyu shook her head. “Nothing. I just suddenly thought about it. It’s a bit surprising.”
As she said that, she suddenly felt a bit shy again.
“Don’t you feel the same?” she asked.
Bai Shuchuan didn’t quite understand. “Feel what?”
“I mean… we really act like couples you see in online videos, always doing sweet, clingy things. Sometimes I think about it and feel embarrassed.”
Su Moyu looked at their joined hands. The warmth in his palm made her smile again.
“Forget it, I’m just talking,” she said with a smile. “Actually, this is nice. Like a normal couple.”
“You really are hard to understand sometimes,” Bai Shuchuan said helplessly, gently touching her cheek.
“I don’t even understand myself sometimes,” Su Moyu said, licking her lips and clearing her throat like she was trying to act serious. “Kiss me again.”
Bai Shuchuan felt a wave of goosebumps when he heard her soft, sweet voice.
Even though Su Moyu was now completely a girl…
When she suddenly acted cute like that, he still found it a bit hard to handle.
He lowered his head and kissed her lips again.
After a while, he was suddenly pushed away again.
“Let’s rest early today. Tomorrow might be very busy,” Su Moyu said softly.
“Mm,” Bai Shuchuan replied.
Su Moyu stood up, opened her suitcase, took out some clothes, and went into the bathroom.
Bai Shuchuan sat on the edge of the bed, bored, looking around the room.
The loss of family suddenly felt very close to him.
His heart was confused and lost. Bai Xiaqing had told him to come back quickly, but in the end, he still hadn’t even seen his father. He had returned without knowing what to do, as if nothing had really been solved.
He sighed helplessly.
At that moment, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.
“Shuchuan~”
The bathroom door suddenly opened, and Su Moyu’s voice came from inside.
“What is it?”
Bai Shuchuan stood up and saw her upper body leaning out from the bathroom. Her long hair was tied up, and her skin on her shoulders had a soft, attractive glow.
“Turn on the air conditioner, and put the bedsheet on.”
Bai Shuchuan couldn’t help but glance at her a few more times. Even he, as slow as he was, could understand what she was hinting at.
He took the bedsheet from the suitcase and carefully put it on the blanket.
But while doing it, his mind was a bit distracted.
When was the last time?
After they started working part-time, they had mostly been living in school.
Bai Shuchuan thought to himself.
Ah… really…
Thinking about it, he suddenly understood why Su Moyu had said they were acting like a normal young couple earlier.
At that moment, Su Moyu came out of the bathroom. Bai Shuchuan turned his head and saw she was wrapped in a bath towel.
“Why did you finish so fast?” he asked.
Su Moyu frowned. “I didn’t really shower… I just used hot water to warm up a bit…”
Then she suddenly became shy and quickly slipped into the blanket.
Seeing her like that, Bai Shuchuan wasn’t in a hurry anymore.
Watching her shy reactions felt kind of enjoyable. Some things were better done slowly anyway, going too fast sometimes felt like a waste.
Seeing that Bai Shuchuan wasn’t reacting much, Su Moyu looked a little annoyed.
Got it. He’s definitely ignoring me on purpose.
“You were the one who said we should rest early,” Bai Shuchuan said helplessly.
Su Moyu’s face turned even redder. Her little thoughts had been seen through, and she felt embarrassed again.
She didn’t say anything. She just quietly pulled the bath towel out from under the blanket and spread it on the bed.
“You don’t know how lucky you are,” she muttered softly.
Bai Shuchuan chuckled lightly, unzipped his jacket, and kissed her lips again.
He pulled back the blanket. A cold breeze touched her skin, but when his hand rested on her and their bodies pressed together, the warm feeling made her senses light up.
“Cover the blanket properly…” she said softly, her voice sweet but trembling a little.
“And maybe… someone could take photos…” she added in broken sentences.
Bai Shuchuan held her in his arms. At that moment, she leaned into him as well. Her beautiful eyes lost focus for a moment, but in the swirling emotions, they were filled again with warmth.
