Zhou Xuan was speechless. Fu Ying actually remembered a joke he made in the water cave!
Fu Ying suddenly smiled, wiped away her tears, and said, "Never mind, I won't scare you anymore. I'll wipe them myself. You waited for me for so long, but you still pulled your hand back!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan immediately felt a little embarrassed.
The two sat by the pool, too embarrassed to speak, and remained silent for a while.
Fu Ying dangled her toes on the surface of the pool, and after a while, she suddenly said, "In the water cave, that was my first kiss!"
"First kiss?" Zhou Xuan didn't react for a moment, then remembered that Fu Ying was talking about the time she kissed him in the water cave, and that she bit his lips until they bled!
Zhou Xuan touched his lips, but Fu Ying happened to look up at him, making Zhou Xuan's action seem somewhat ambiguous.
Even in the dim moonlight, Zhou Xuan could see a blush rising on Fu Ying's face.
There was nothing there at first, but suddenly, the two of them felt uncomfortable in a large villa, alone together.
Fu Ying looked down at the pool, and Zhou Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "It's getting late... and a bit chilly, I'm going back to sleep!"
Fu Ying didn't even look at him. She rested her chin on her hands on her lap and said softly, "No, you come with me to watch the stars!"
This sounds like a line from a movie.
Zhou Xuan didn't not want to spend time with her, nor did he want to pretend. No man would want to refuse such a beautiful girl, and she was clearly in love with him now.
But Zhou Xuan still understood that Fu Ying's affection was mostly because he had saved her. If Fu Ying didn't have such a prominent family background, if Fu Ying was just a girl from an ordinary family, he would have embraced her tenderly without hesitation right now. Looking at the stars is just an excuse for all men!
(I highly recommend "The Way of the Commoner Official," a classic work on officialdom by Nan Hua, to my friend who is also quite lonely. It's a must-read for anyone interested in urban officialdom!)

It's late at night. www.wenxueMi.CoM
Fu Ying seemed to be enjoying leaning on Zhou Xuan's shoulder. Zhou Xuan glanced at her sideways and saw that Fu Ying's eyes were closed, her eyelashes fluttering. He wondered if she was pretending to sleep or dreaming.
It wouldn't be good to sit by the pool all night, so Zhou Xuan gently called out, "Miss Fu... Fu Ying, come to your room and sleep!"
Fu Ying twisted her body, unwilling to move, and let out a coquettish, reluctant hum, seemingly in a state of half-dreaming and half-awake.
Zhou Xuan wanted to stand up and tell Fu Ying to go back to her room to sleep, but he shifted his body and said, "Go back to your room, it's too late, you'll catch a cold."
Fu Ying frowned, her eyes still closed, and muttered, "Don't move, I just want to lean against you like this!"
Zhou Xuan gave a wry smile, feeling somewhat helpless, but also a little sweet inside. Although he felt that a relationship with Fu Ying was unlikely, no one would be unhappy to have such a beautiful woman like him.
Fu Ying closed her eyes and said again, "I really want to sit with you like this for the rest of my life!"
Zhou Xuan sighed and remained silent. Looking at Fu Ying's exquisitely beautiful face, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pity. Just for Fu Ying's willingness to express her feelings for him in front of everyone, he felt it was all worth it!
A gentle breeze blew, carrying a slight chill. Zhou Xuan couldn't help but reach out and wrap his arms around Fu Ying's soft waist. Fu Ying finally smiled slightly, moved her head closer to Zhou Xuan's chest, and then fell asleep comfortably. She then reached out and hugged Zhou Xuan's waist as well. The two of them sat by the pool, embracing each other and leaning against each other.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but Zhou Xuan felt very peaceful. He would be willing to sit like this for the rest of his life. Isn't it said that the hardest thing to bear is the kindness of a beautiful woman? Besides, he was not a hero, so naturally he couldn't bear it even more.
It seemed as if the surroundings had darkened, and a drop of water fell on her face.
Zhou Xuan looked up at the sky and was surprised to find that it had become completely dark at some point, with thick clouds covering the sky and obscuring the stars and moon.
Looking again at Fu Ying in his arms, he realized she was truly asleep this time. Just then, a few more drops of water dripped onto her face, indicating that it was about to rain.
Zhou Xuan picked up Fu Ying from the edge of the pool, bent over to shield her from the sparse raindrops, and walked back into the villa's living room.
Fu Ying is probably around 1.7 meters tall, but she is not heavy, probably less than 100 pounds. Zhou Xuan carried her without any difficulty. Not knowing which room to take her to, he simply put her on the sofa in the living room.
Although Fu Ying was asleep, she didn't let go of his waist, so Zhou Xuan had to stay close to her on the sofa, which was much more comfortable than sitting by the pool earlier.
In the past, when Zhou Xuan hung out with his friends, the topics they talked about were always women, and naturally, they were all lewd and beastly. But now, with Fu Ying by his side in this villa, he didn't have a single impure thought. Looking at Fu Ying's beautiful and innocent face, he couldn't even muster a wicked idea. It was as if he felt that just thinking about it would be an insult to Fu Ying!
So this is what it feels like when a man and a woman are truly in love!
In a daze, Zhou Xuan finally fell asleep, but when he woke up again, he was startled by footsteps coming from outside the living room.
Since absorbing the enormous energy from the boulder in the Yinhe Water Cave, Zhou Xuan's hands have returned to normal, and his senses have become much sharper.
The person who came in from outside the living room deliberately walked in quietly with low footsteps, but Zhou Xuan heard it and opened his eyes to look warily at the door.
When the person who came in saw that Zhou Xuan had opened his eyes, he immediately gestured with his finger to be quiet so as not to disturb Fu Ying in his arms.
This person is Fu Tianlai, Fu Ying's grandfather!
It was Fu Tianlai, which put Zhou Xuan at ease. As long as it wasn't a thief or robbery, it was fine. However, he felt a little embarrassed about his position with Fu Ying.
Fu Tianlai held a towel in his hand, gestured to Zhou Xuan again, and then walked closer and gently covered Fu Ying's face with the towel.
Upon hearing this action, Zhou Xuan immediately understood that the towel definitely contained an anesthetic similar to Mongolian and Han medicine!
If this person hadn't been Fu Tianlai, and if Zhou Xuan hadn't believed that Fu Tianlai would never harm Fu Ying, Zhou Xuan would almost have fought back!
But in the end, he managed to hold back.
Fu Ying twisted her body slightly and then tilted to the side, but she didn't loosen her grip on Zhou Xuan's waist. Zhou Xuan used some force to pry her off.
Fu Ying was unaware of what was happening to her, so naturally she made no move to resist.
Zhou Xuan gently laid Fu Ying down on the sofa, then sat down on the other side. He watched Fu Tianlai remain silent, leaving it to him to explain his meaning.
Fu Tianlai's expression was somewhat gloomy as he sat down opposite Zhou Xuan, the two of them less than two meters apart.
