1:00 AM —

Jian Si Xuan was awakened by her phone vibrating. She fumbled to unlock it, squinting at the screen.

"Jǐngchuān, I'm back in the country. Would you like to get together when you have time? I miss you."

He was stunned for a moment, realizing he had picked up the wrong phone. Just as he was about to put it down, the bathroom door suddenly swung open.

A man walked out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist. His tall and slender figure was no worse than a model's, and those who couldn't help but steal glances at his mermaid line did so greedily.

"Did I wake you?"

Jian Si Xuan shook her head. "No. Your phone has a message.

Trying to suppress the strange unease in her heart, she acted very obediently, yet subtly observed his every change with meticulous attention.

"Um?"

The man took the phone, his long and beautiful eyes quickly glanced at it, paused for a few seconds, then naturally pressed delete, throwing the phone on the table.

One set of movements, flowing like water, he lowered his head to look at Jian Si Xuan, "Sleep."

Actually, Jian Si-Xian was now wide awake, but she still nodded obediently and lay back down.

After three years together, I know exactly when to stay silent.

Although curious about who would dare call him "Jingchuan" so familiarly, their relationship wasn't at a point where they could boldly ask about it.

At best, it's just a long-term bed partner.

Feeling him lie down to her side, Jian Si Xuan brushed against him without a trace.

The refreshing scent of his just-showered body enveloped him powerfully, he stretched out his arms and pulled her into his embrace. His long fingers unconsciously stroked her long hair.

Suddenly, I had some feelings and couldn't help but raise my head to lean in. I kissed him softly on the cheek. "Do you want me?"

The air seemed to warm just a little, it was hard to tell who was touching whom.

Li Jingchuan didn't speak, but he heard a low chuckle from him, laced with amusement. It was a reward. Then the hand that held the fate of the plane in its grip emerged from under the blanket and began to caress...

A slight chill on the fingertips, causing a barely perceptible shiver.

During the process, the two had already made light of things, and knew what was going on. However, Li Jingchuan was not in a hurry. He reached out with one hand and played with the object Qi Shui was holding.

Work slowly, with extra patience.

Jian Xi Xian bit her lip, enduring the discomfort, but her eyes drifted erratically towards her phone. Noticing her distraction, Li Jing Chuan gently tugged on her delicate earlobe, and with a punitive nip, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

He was stunned for a moment, then muttered honestly, "What are we even doing?"

"Hmm?"

Holding his face, she looked straight at him, as if asking him, but more like asking herself: "Li Jingchuan, are we together?"

The man fell silent for a moment, offering no reply. Jian Si Xuan felt a pang of disappointment and slowly loosened her grip. But the next second, she was overwhelmed by his forceful intrusion.

The sudden pain made her groan, "Li Jingchuan..."

"What do you think?" He ignored her complaints, pinching her waist tighter than usual, and growled, "Jian Si Xuan, what do you think we are? Hmm?"

His thoughts were scattered by the blow, and he bit his lip silently.

There is no guarantee in this relationship, it's as ephemeral as smoke, incapable of withstanding even the slightest breeze.

After being satiated, Jian Si Xuan gazed at Li Jingchuan who was sitting beside her, looking lost in thought. She scrutinized him carefully, only daring to quietly admit to herself in her heart that she liked him.

Such a captivating man, yet he has never truly belonged.

After a pause, as if gathering her courage, "Li Jingchuan, why don't we just do this?"

After three years of an inseparable relationship, Jian Si Xuan didn't even deserve to utter the words "break up."
