"Are you cold?"
She leaned against his back, murmuring.
"Don't talk, the cold air will get in."
Su Xiaomeng bit her lip, hugging him tighter, and suddenly felt very touched in her heart...
The first snow was falling heavily. The road from the student union office to the school gate wasn't short. Ren Yixuan walked with big, quick steps, yet steadily.
"Ren Yixuan, if you have a girlfriend in the future... will you still treat me this well?"
She clung to his back again, murmuring disobediently.
Ren Yixuan didn't respond for a long time. Just as she thought he hadn't heard, he spoke up.
"If you become my girlfriend, you won't have to worry about this anymore."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing! Shut up!"
Su Xiaomeng... actually heard it, and she heard it very clearly. She buried her face against his back, fireworks going off in her heart, crackling and popping, lighting up the night sky along with the snowflakes.
She was so happy she couldn't find her senses, biting her lip with secret joy, just afraid of laughing out loud for Ren Yixuan to hear.
How embarrassing that would be...
"Don't move!" However, her shy little movements eventually gave her away.
"Oh." Su Xiaomeng obediently stopped moving, she was just a bit afraid that the sound of her heart beating too loudly would be heard by him...
Ren Yixuan took a deep breath, the air entering his lungs was icy cold, yet the corners of his bright red lips slightly curved.
He had originally intended to wait a little longer, she was still so young, reason said so, but his heart couldn't wait any longer.
The hospital at night was less crowded, making it feel colder than during the day.
After registering for the emergency, Su Xiaomeng was unusually obedient, getting her temperature and blood pressure measured, having blood drawn, and so on and on... doing whatever she was told to do, her little face always flushed red.
Ren Yixuan ruffled her hair, "Silly!"
Calling her silly, she didn't even refute... completely the look of a little wife.
Soon, her phone rang, "It's Meng Meng..."
Ren Yixuan took it and answered, briefly explaining the situation and then hung up.
Yin Meng thought for a moment on the other end and still decided to gather some toiletry items for Su Xiaomeng. As she was packing, her phone rang again...
Yin Meng saw the caller ID was "Uncle," and happily answered, "Uncle?"
"Tomorrow? Hmm... okay, see you tomorrow night then."
After hanging up, Yin Meng was about to continue packing Su Xiaomeng's things when Ren Yixuan's call came through again.
Indeed, Su Xiaomeng needed to stay in the hospital for observation.
"Alright, I'll drive over in a bit, text me the room number."
"Okay, thank you."
"Hey! Ren, what do you mean by that... shouldn't I be the one thanking you?"
When Yin Meng was with Su Xiaomeng, she was a bit rough around the edges, but the Yin Family's keen and clever essence was innate.
With just one sentence, Yin Meng realized that the paper-thin barrier between these two had finally been pierced.
Opposite, Ren Yixuan leaned against the wall, a smirk forming on his lips, not hiding his satisfaction at all, "No, I'm the one bothering you."
"Pfft!"
Yin Meng shushed playfully and then laughed, "I'll hang up, see you in a bit."
Ren Yixuan and Su Xiaomeng being together seemed like the most natural thing. Su Xiaomeng would say they weren't that kind of relationship, would say she hated Ren Yixuan to death, yet her dependence on him, her yearning, was so obvious.
Yet, both of them were not the most open people...
Yin Meng was genuinely curious who of the two spoke up first!
So at the hospital, when Yin Meng saw Ren Yixuan standing by the door, her first reaction was to go up and ask, "Honestly, was it you or Xiaomeng? Hm?"
