Chapter 105 【Love is Simple】

At Lin Jiaying's words, Gu Feng was startled, his body even going stiff instantly. For a moment, he wondered if he was hearing things.

Sleep... together?

Gu Feng had never imagined Lin Jiaying would say such a thing to him.

After uttering those words, Lin Jiaying's heartbeat quickened involuntarily, and a deep blush crept onto her cheeks.

Why isn't this guy saying anything? Does he not want to? How embarrassing.

Thinking this to herself, Lin Jiaying secretly lifted her head and glanced at Gu Feng, only to see him standing there motionless like an idiot.

Gu Feng took a deep breath, looking at Lin Jiaying, who was squirming nervously on the sofa, and asked, his expression odd, "What made you think of... sleeping together?"

As he asked this, Gu Feng also felt a strange, inexplicable tightness in his heart, though even he didn't know why he was nervous.

"I... I thought, since we'll be husband and wife in the future, sleeping together now is no different from waiting until we're married." Lin Jiaying's beautiful face flushed bright red as she whispered, "Ever since you came to Hong Kong, I've never slept with you. I was worried you might... dislike me."

Finally, she said what was on her mind.

Over this period, Lin Jiaying had gradually changed her view of Gu Feng, and the feelings between them had undergone a dramatic transformation.

Today, Gu Feng had made her dream come true by getting Zhou Tong for her, which deeply moved her.

Women love romance. Although Gu Feng had always seemed a bit dull, this bit of unintentional romance had given Lin Jiaying a huge impact.

In Lin Jiaying's eyes, perhaps romantic love was just this simple.

Earlier, while Gu Feng was showering, she had been pondering whether to initiate something, after all, Gu Feng had done so much for her. Moreover, during her school days, no matter how busy he was, Gu Feng would always have meals ready on time every day, and breakfast was always punctual every morning.

Before, Lin Jiaying thought he was just doing what was expected, since he was much older than her and he was a man. But now she realized what Gu Feng did was really special, truly rare. She had read many magazines and visited numerous websites, looking into what makes a good partner.

As a result, she found that no other man measured up to Gu Feng.

Abruptly—

Lin Jiaying lifted her head, her damp hair covering her forehead. She opened her beautiful, limpid eyes wide, gazing affectionately at Gu Feng, and said, "I know I used to be too willful and selfish, only considering my own feelings and never thinking about yours. That was all my fault. Don't worry, I'll change from now on. I'll be a good fiancée, and eventually a good wife."

Hearing Lin Jiaying's words, Gu Feng's heart gave a fierce lurch!

All along, Lin Jiaying didn't like him and looked down on him, but hadn't he also disliked Lin Jiaying?

However, as a man, Gu Feng never complained; he dutifully did everything he was supposed to.

Later, Gu Feng gradually found his view of Lin Jiaying changing, and he'd begun to develop subtle feelings for her.

These feelings had arisen unconsciously—not as romantic as love at first sight, nor as sentimental as unwavering devotion. Instead, they were the kind of feelings that naturally develop when two people spend a long time together and get accustomed to each other.

Gu Feng had never been in love in his life. He didn't know if this was love, but he understood that Lin Jiaying had already occupied a place in his heart, a place that no one else could replace.

Almost without thinking, Gu Feng took a step, slowly walking over to Lin Jiaying's side. He reached out and gently stroked her head, saying, "If you want to sleep with me, then we'll sleep together."

Lin Jiaying nodded, gave a soft 'Mhm,' then extended her arms and said, "Carry me to bed."

Gu Feng bent down, one arm wrapping around Lin Jiaying's slender waist, the other cradling her legs, and lifted her up.

Lin Jiaying buried her head deeply in Gu Feng's chest, listening to his strong, steady heartbeat. She smiled, a happy smile.

That night, Gu Feng slept with Lin Jiaying for the first time.

There was no intimacy between lovers, no nagging between spouses. The two simply held each other and slept until dawn.

In the morning, sunlight streamed through the glass window into the room, shining on Gu Feng and Lin Jiaying's faces.

His body clock woke Gu Feng as usual.

The next moment, Gu Feng couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

At this moment, Lin Jiaying was clinging to him like an octopus, her leg draped over his.

In her sleep, Lin Jiaying lacked her usual mischievous expression. She looked peaceful and slept soundly.

Seeing Lin Jiaying sleeping so comfortably, Gu Feng really didn't want to wake her. He could only gently shift his body, taking nearly a minute to get out of bed without disturbing her.

After getting dressed, Gu Feng washed his face briefly, then went out for a run as usual.

When Gu Feng returned, Lin Jiaying wasn't still sleeping in bed as he had imagined. Instead, she was already up and had even prepared breakfast.

"This is the egg I fried today. This time it's not burnt. I tasted it earlier, and it's pretty good. Try it." Seeing Gu Feng enter, Lin Jiaying, her hair still a mess, walked over to him, pulled him to the dining table, and pointed at the egg on the table.

Clearly, Lin Jiaying had been in such a hurry to make breakfast that she hadn't even had time to wash her face. For Lin Jiaying, who was always so meticulous about her looks, this could only be described as a miracle.

Just as Lin Jiaying had said, the egg wasn't burnt, and the color looked good.

Gu Feng smiled, picked up an egg with his chopsticks, took a bite, and said, "Not bad."

"Really?" Lin Jiaying cheered and jumped up, her reaction quite like that of a child being praised by their parents.

Perhaps such days aren't so bad after all.

Watching Lin Jiaying's excited expression, Gu Feng silently told himself.

P: This chapter isn't very long, but Crazy didn't want to add more words. Crazy feels that no matter how many words are added to this chapter, they would be superfluous. The intended meaning has already been expressed.
