Looking at his new home and the unfamiliar street scene outside the window, Zhou Guangtao felt a sense of mystery wrapped in the dim lights.

The faint light outside flickered past. He narrowed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath subconsciously. From now on, this place would be where he established himself and realized his ambitions.

Zhou Guangtao turned around and sat beside Yan Luoxi. There was a faint fragrance emanating from her body that was naturally delicate and very pleasant to smell. He couldn't resist reaching out to embrace her shoulders and murmured softly, "Luoxi!" His tone seemed odd as he repeated the name: "Luoxi, Luoxi..."

The heart in Yan Luoxi's chest started pounding rapidly, thump-thump.

Since she was sent to Zhou Guangtao by Li Haonan and his wife, it was their first time being alone together without others around. Previously, there had always been Li Haonan and his wife with them, so they never had the chance for private conversations or intimate gestures.

After experiencing so much, when Yan Luoxi finally leaned against Zhou Guangtao's chest again in such a peaceful manner, she even dared not rely too much on him. Yet, the presence of his breath around her was overpowering.

Yan Luoxi extended her arms and hugged Zhou Guangtao's waist tightly from behind, finding a comfortable position like an affectionate little cat.

Zhou Guangtao lowered his head to gaze at the small face in his embrace. Under the lamplight, Yan Luoxi's fair skin seemed translucent. He could almost imagine how soft it would feel, and without thinking, he raised his fingers to touch her face slowly inch by inch.

Yan Luoxi's face was so smooth and soft, like Japanese silken tofu, delicate, glossy, and bright, making people reluctant to leave.

Zhou Guangtao's fingers were dry and warm. Wherever his skin touched Yan Luoxi’s, she felt a faint electric current, familiar and intimate, as if they had never been apart. Suddenly, an unusual ache welled up in her heart, prompting her to close her eyes tightly.

With her eyes closed, Yan Luoxi leaned softly against Zhou Guangtao's chest. His fingers moved down inch by inch, from her smooth forehead and straight nose, all the way to her rosy, tender lips.

Zhou Guangtao's Adam’s apple moved slightly, struggling as he slowly lowered his head to kiss Yan Luoxi on the lips.

Her lips were still soft and fragrant, tempting him. Zhou Guangtao felt a fire inside himself that was about to burn him up entirely. He held Yan Luoxi tightly, kissing her passionately like a man who cannot be satisfied, his hand involuntarily reaching behind her to unzip the zipper of her dress.

Zhou Guangtao’s heated lips gradually moved downwards to her bare shoulders. In an instant, he saw two distinct red kiss marks on Yan Luoxi's back, clearly marking the intense passion that had once been there.

Zhou Guangtao suddenly snapped out of his trance-like state as if a box filled with secrets was accidentally tipped over and everything inside spilled out.

Seeing those two obvious kiss marks, Zhou Guangtao felt extreme anger and jealousy. His hand behind Yan Luoxi involuntarily clenched into a fist. He admitted that he was extremely jealous because she belonged to him, and such intimate actions should only be reserved for him alone.

Zhou Guangtao had originally thought he could remain indifferent about everything between Yan Luoxi and Li An, but seeing these marks reminded him of the way Li An had behaved with her. He had no choice but to admit that deep down, he still cared very much.

Zhou Guangtao's enthusiasm gradually waned, his breathing becoming more peaceful and relaxed. He didn't continue with the audacious behavior from before nor did he quickly push Yan Luoxi away. Instead, without any hint of a trace, he raised his head lovingly and tenderly kissed the top of Yan Luoxi's forehead.

Yan Luoxi, her heart pounding wildly, didn't notice that Zhou Guangtao had suddenly pulled back when their emotions were at their peak. She merely thought that Zhou Guangtao was still adhering to gentlemanly etiquette as he always did in the past. Soft and limp, she leaned into Zhou Guangtao's embrace, gazing out of the window at the star-filled sky.

The vast expanse of stars was silent; it seemed like only the two of them existed, leaning against each other in mutual warmth. This moment of tranquility rekindled and strengthened Yan Luoxi’s hopes within her heart.

She stared at the star-studded sky, feeling as if she had returned to childhood, snuggling with Zhou Guangtao inside their home, waiting for Aunt Liu to come back from work. Back then, she would rest against him while humming: "Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are..."

"Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky..."

In this vast and silent space, Zhou Guangtao's melodious voice echoed once more singing. Yan Luoxi was stunned, her eyes widening as she laughed and asked, "How did you know I was thinking about this song!"

"Because we have a special connection," Zhou Guangtao smiled at her with the side of his head facing her, his eyes brimming with deep affection that seemed never to fade.

Looking at this man whose eyes shone brighter than stars, Yan Luoxi realized he was actually quite reserved; not skilled in sweet talk or knowing how to please girls. He wasn’t adept at creating romantic atmospheres either.

Yet she still liked him, and her feelings for him grew stronger day by day with the passage of time.

Yan Luoxi looked at Zhou Guangtao with unbridled expectation, asking in disbelief: "Brother Guangtao, is our new life about to begin Will we be able to live carefree and happily from now on"

Zhou Guangtao burst into laughter, looking up at the sky and answering without hesitation: "Yes, our wonderful life is about to start!"

At that moment, Yan Luoxi saw a promising future on his face, with his bright eyes sparkling.

That night, Zhou Guangtao and Yan Luoxi gave the room a quick clean before each occupying one of the bedrooms. After tidying up themselves briefly, they went to bed.

The next morning, when Yan Luoxi opened her eyes, she saw the bright sun shining outside the window. Since they had just moved in and hadn't hung curtains yet, through the large windows, she could clearly see that it was a cloudless sky, indicating a sunny day ahead.

Yan Luoxi stretched lazily and quickly ran to brush her teeth and wash her face. This was their first official "cohabitation" day, and she wanted to make a good impression.

She came out of her room just as Zhou Guangtao emerged from the kitchen in fresh clothes, holding two steaming mugs of milk: “Good morning!” His eyes were bright with energy.

"Ah… Good morning!" Yan Luoxi touched her nose awkwardly. She felt a bit embarrassed, thinking she was performing poorly as his cohabitation girlfriend.

Zhou Guangtao then brought out a plate of steaming red bean buns and two small dishes of pickled vegetables from the kitchen, smiling as he invited her: "Luoxi, come eat breakfast!"Zhu's complaints; I think he'll give you a good scolding."Lian, with a nonchalant laugh, said, "That crazy girl was actually quite lenient this time. If she had told my parents about what happened, I...
