Since it was New Year’s Day holiday, Ye Wanwan slept until she woke naturally. When she awoke, she realized she was still being held by someone, and as she lifted her head slightly, she saw the still sleeping Shen Yi.
Ye Wanwan, groggy, watched for quite a while until she was fully awake, whereas Shen Yi continued to breathe steadily in his sleep.
Ye Wanwan extended her hand cautiously tracing her fingertips across Shen Yi’s face.
Seemingly tickled, Shen Yi lightly furrowed his brows, and Ye Wanwan quickly stopped, carefully observing him.
But Shen Yi did not wake up, and Ye Wanwan, like a mischievous child, continued to lightly trace her nails over Shen Yi’s face.
Each time she would stop when Shen Yi slightly knit his brows, making sure he hadn’t woken up, before resuming her playful antics.
Until suddenly, Ye Wanwan’s hand was grabbed, startling her so much that she instinctively tried to pull it back but was held tightly, unable to retrieve it.
Shen Yi grabbed Ye Wanwan’s hand, then slightly turned his body to face her, his eyes still heavy with sleep. She bowed her head and gently kissed Ye Wanwan’s forehead.
Then he said in his husky voice laced with a hint of magnetism, "I love you."
Ye Wanwan’s heart pounded like a drum, her hands trembling, yet she put on a very calm facade, "So cheesy, what’s with that so early in the morning?"
"Can’t I say it if I like you?" Shen Yi asked seriously, looking at Ye Wanwan.
The two stared at each other until Ye Wanwan finally gave in, pushed Shen Yi away, and hid herself under the covers, secretly laughing.
They lay together for a while longer until Ye Wanwan’s stomach started to growl, signalling it was time to get up, wash up, and go downstairs for breakfast.
Shen Yi had no work today, and in the afternoon, he watched a movie at home with Ye Wanwan before heading back to the Shen Family’s house later in the evening.
Ye Wanwan’s parents also went there, and the family sat together for a meal.
During the meal, Shen Yi’s mother joked, "Shen Yi has always been cold since he was young, hard for people to warm up to him. But since marrying Wanwan, he’s become quite likable."
Shen Yi’s mother said this because the scene of Shen Yi playing the violin and boldly expressing his love in the bar last night had been captured and shared on social media.
Somehow, it spread and within hours, it made the trending topics list and both their identities were easily exposed.
Now the comments under the video on Weibo are all envious and jealous.
Ye Wanwan felt slightly embarrassed, while Shen Yi, on the other hand, appeared completely unfazed, and even while being teased, he didn’t forget to serve her food.
Both mothers watched and couldn’t help but exchange knowing smiles.
Although their initial intentions weren’t so pure, seeing how happy and sweet the young couple was naturally made them happy.
However, no one expected that around 3 a.m. that night, a Weibo term like "Ye Wanwan Bullying Video" would appear out of nowhere.
As time went by, terms like "Ye Wanwan Bullying Video," "Ye Wanwan Campus Bullying," and "Ye Wanwan" had already dominated the trending topics.
When the phone rang, the person lying in the dark bedroom on the big bed stirred, Ye Wanwan frowned, rummaging through the covers.
Shen Yi had already sat up, picking up the phone from the bedside table. The call was from Assistant Chen. Shen Yi adjusted the covers over Ye Wanwan, whispering, "Go back to sleep."
