When Gu Yelin said that, An Yiqing suddenly remembered the incident of her being spanked. All the soft and sweet sentiments within her heart dispersed in an instant, and her little face turned a deep red again.
"You’re still talking about it?! You actually spanked me... spanked me... spanked my butt... and with such force!"
In reality, Gu Yelin hadn’t used much strength at all. It looked severe, but how could he truly bring himself to hit her hard? It was merely a token tap, a light pat, nothing more. But now, An Yiqing had completely turned into a woman who was pretending to be coy, abandoning all her composure and tenderness to Java Country.
Gu Yelin watched An Yiqing’s shy demeanor with full attention, his dark eyes brimming with tenderness. His lips curved into a slight smile, and he took An Yiqing’s right hand and gently kissed it at the lips, softly asking, "Should I rub it for you? Hmm?"
That trailing sound was sexy and enchanting, sapping one’s strength and making it impossible to resist.
An Yiqing couldn’t believe her eyes as she scrutinized Gu Yelin back and forth. Then with an eye roll, she covered her head with the comforter.
"Ah Lin, you’ve turned bad, I won’t talk to you anymore! Going to sleep!"
Gu Yelin, amused, looked at the little bulge under the comforter, feeling warmth and happiness in his heart. He removed his jacket, lifted the comforter, and hugged An Yiqing, together with the comforter, into his arms, and securely closed his eyes.
An Yiqing, who had already closed her eyes, felt Gu Yelin’s familiar breath but didn’t struggle. She softly nestled into his embrace, finding the most comfortable position like a little kitten, and vigorously rubbed her cheek, her red lips curling into a blissful smile as she slipped into sweet dreams.
The room was bathed in sunlight, with the tall man and petite woman asleep in each other’s arms on the white bed, their postures seamless and perfectly intertwined, all was peaceful and warm.
As evening came and the sun set, the bright and cheerful sunlight of the day had left, and the tranquil room was filled with the warm yellow glow of the twilight.
On the white bed, An Yiqing’s long and thick eyelashes slightly fluttered, appearing as two delicate butterflies poised upon her eyes, full of life.
Slowly, she opened her eyes that twinkled like stars, and in that moment, her beauty was breathtaking.
"Awake?" A deep and slightly hoarse voice softly emerged above An Yiqing’s head.
"Mmm, awake." An Yiqing lazily rubbed her eyes and leisurely leaned onto Gu Yelin’s sturdy chest. "Ah Lin, when did you wake up?"
"Mmm... How long is ’not long ago’?" An Yiqing was persistent.
"An hour and..." Gu Yelin skirted around the exact answer.
"Just an hour?" An Yiqing continued to probe.
"Cough, an hour plus one hundred and twenty minutes." Gu Yelin, with no other choice, came clean.
An hour plus one hundred and twenty minutes? An Yiqing blinked in confusion before quickly realizing.
"Ah Lin, you’ve been awake for three hours?" She lifted her head, surprised. "After waking up, you’ve been lying here without moving?"
Gu Yelin nodded, having promised he would never lie to his treasure.
An Yiqing bit her lip and hurriedly sat up on the bed, reaching out to tenderly massage Gu Yelin’s arm.
"Are you so angry with me that you’ve gone numb? You didn’t even move after waking up. Are your arms sore? Could they be numb? Is your blood circulation all right?" An Yiqing had by now completely forgotten her Divine Doctor skills. She held Gu Yelin’s arm with a look of panic and confusion.
Seeing An Yiqing worried, Gu Yelin quickly moved his arms, indicating he was perfectly healthy.
"I’m fine, my arms are good, there’s no problem with blood circulation."
An Yiqing sighed with relief but didn’t let go and continued to carefully massage Gu Yelin’s arms.
"Hmm, Ah Lin, what shall we eat tonight?" An Yiqing asked while still kneading.
Gu Yelin, looking down attentively at An Yiqing as she massaged him, tenderly said, "How about we go to Old Zhang’s place, would that be nice?"
"Sure, that would be great! But what’s the occasion today, going out to eat?"
