Su Shen's mind was consumed with a singular thought—how to keep Gu Zi by his side. He couldn't bear to let her go, not even for the looming college entrance exams or the distant reality of university. These milestones felt like threats poised to separate them, and the thought weighed heavily on him.
Tonight's intimacy, from his perspective, was tinged with a bittersweet melancholy, a quiet desperation to hold on.
But Gu Zi saw the night differently. She'd been deeply engrossed in her studies while Su Shen had been buried in work, leaving little room for their moments together.
To her, this evening felt like the perfect opportunity to bridge that gap. With just a week until the college entrance exams, she figured this was as good a time as any. She had always welcomed such intimacy, and Su Shen, attentive as he was, never failed to make it an experience worth savoring.
