Meng Chuyue answered in a low voice, "Hmm, that’s good, but let’s not go public with this until the tutoring class is over, so we don’t set a bad example for the students."
Actually, Meng Chuyue just had a bold and open mouth.
But she was very conservative in her actions.
Even after being in Shen Ci’s arms for half the day, she managed to keep the same position without moving an inch.
Of course, Shen Ci also didn’t dare to move.
However, upon hearing Meng Chuyue say this, Shen Ci, who internally strongly protested, looked up at her beautiful eyes that were only inches away. His face darkened bit by bit, "Keeping it secret is what will really corrupt them."
The way some of the girls in the class looked at him, and the way boys looked at her, was all very ambiguous. Shen Ci felt that going public with their relationship would be beneficial for both themselves and their students.
Meng Chuyue raised her hand to cup his divinely sculpted, peerlessly handsome face and flashed a playful smile, "No, listen to me, it’s better to do less than to meddle too much. It’s better for us and the students if we keep this private for now."
A flicker of dangerous light passed through Shen Ci’s eyes as he wanted to protest again, but Meng Chuyue quickly pecked his cheek.
Shen Ci instantly softened, his ear tips reddening as he conceded, "Okay."
The two of them embraced quietly again for a while until Shen Ci realized that Meng Chuyue had actually fallen asleep.
He quietly stared at her stunning sleeping face for a long while, gently kissed her hair, carried her to her bedroom, gently placed her on the bed, turned on the fan, and was about to step away when the girl caught his hand and sat up, saying, "I like to lock the front door when I sleep, or I can’t fall asleep. You should move to the guest room next door, and from now on, it’ll be your job to lock the front door at night."
Shen Ci squinted his eyes slightly and gently lifted her, "You help me."
It was barely past nine in the evening, not even close to bedtime, and Shen Ci felt not a hint of embarrassment by saying this.
Naturally, Meng Chuyue was pleased.
The two, who had just confirmed their relationship, held hands and tidied up the adjacent guest room a bit before moving Shen Ci’s not-so-many belongings down from the third floor.
Shen Ci didn’t really have much upstairs on the third floor.
Apart from some study materials, he only had a bamboo mat, a thin quilt, a pillow, and a good-luck fan.
But after moving to the guest room on the second floor, the room suddenly became more furnished.
It wasn’t because Meng Chuyue had been stingy before.
Rather, it was because Shen Ci had many items in the second-floor living room, and now they were just moved into the bedroom.
After arranging the room, Shen Ci, the novice in love, held one of Meng Chuyue’s hands and discussed opening a restaurant together.
Meng Chuyue found it a bit funny: People in this era are so conservative.
In her previous life, couples would certainly have at least shared a passionate kiss after confirming their relationship, if not immediately becoming intimate.
Shen Ci only blushed occasionally and sneaked glances at her lips without seeming to want to do anything...
But about that, she wouldn’t take the initiative today.
She didn’t want to scare him or give him the wrong idea about her... being frivolous, haha.
Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, they sat and talked until past eleven, when Meng Chuyue genuinely fell asleep.
Shen Ci walked her back to her room, left a gentle kiss on her face, and returned to his own room with blushing cheeks to rest.
Ah, it was such pure love.
The next morning, right at five o’clock, Shen Ci opened his eyes due to his biological clock and, realizing the change in his surroundings, remembered the success of his confession the day before, and leaped up with joy.
He dressed and quietly opened the door, intending to be as quiet as a mouse and not wake Meng Chuyue, only to discover she was already in the kitchen making breakfast.
He hurried over, "Assign me some tasks."
"...Go wash up first, and then we’ll go grocery shopping together."
"Okay," Shen Ci gently embraced Meng Chuyue’s shoulders and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
