Chapter 87

After a moment of silence.
Ke Zhihan didn't get out of bed, "Aren't you afraid I'll snatch the blanket from you?"
"You still remember that, wrapping up like a little caterpillar while sleeping." Yuan Luzhi reminisced about being taken back many years — when Ke Zhihan came to Nancheng to visit her after finishing the college entrance examination, and the two of them squeezed onto one bed in the dormitory.
"Who told you not to wake me up? As a result, I caught a cold the next day."
Yuan Luzhi lay down on the bed, "So you mean it's still my fault?"
"It's my fault, it's my fault."
Ke Zhihan also lay down, turning onto her side, half of her cheek pressed against the pillow, the blanket warm and cozy, carrying a faint pleasant fragrance.
Yuan Luzhi was about to turn off the light.
“If I can't find someone suitable, I'll just stick with you and live together.”
A gentle voice broke the night's chill.
Every time she heard Ke Zhihan say this, Yuan Luzhi would remain noncommittal, just silently smiling.
```htmlKe Zhihan expressed her dissatisfaction with Yuan Luzhi's reaction and cheerfully added, "I'm not joking, I'm serious."
Yuan Luzhi replied, "Alright, you can procrastinate as long as you want."
As long as the requests made by Ke Zhihan were concerned, Yuan Luzhi would generally fulfill them, as she always had in the past and still does.```
Ke Zhihan smiled and said that she is satisfied with her current life, and it’s not just empty words.
Yuan Luzhi casually pulled the blanket and tucked it in tightly, “Tomorrow is just the weekend, let’s go to your place and move things over.”
These days, the moving matter has been put aside.
“Hmm…” Ke Zhihan replied softly, the time was late, and drowsiness gradually crept in.
Yuan Luzhi noticed and said nothing further.
Turning off the bedside lamp, the blanket seemed much warmer than usual, very comfortable.
Although she went to bed late, Yuan Luzhi still got up on time the next day, while Ke Zhihan gently leaned her head against her shoulder, still fast asleep.
Last night, Yuan Luzhi chatted with herself until it was very late, quietly shifting her body and getting out of bed without waking Ke Zihan.
The morning light peeked through the curtains, dimly illuminating the room.
Sheng Ruqi woke up surprisingly earlier than Ke Ruochu.
It’s past seven o'clock.
Today, Ke Ruochu's self-disciplined biological clock didn’t react, and she was sleeping soundly. She had been weighed down by her thoughts these past few days, so it was nice to finally get a good sleep.
"Good morning, Auntie." Sheng Ruqi walked into the kitchen and saw Yuan Luzhi preparing breakfast.
“Good morning.” Yuan Luzhi only saw Sheng Ruqi and asked, “Is Ke Ruochu still not up? What time is it already?”
“Let her sleep a bit longer.” Sheng Ruqi watched as Yuan Luzhi prepared to wake Ke Ruochu, “She hasn’t slept well these past few days and has been working for half a month without a break. Today is her rare day off.”
Hearing Sheng Ruqi say this, Yuan Luzhi stopped. She had been thinking carefully about her own issues these past few days. She realized that she had been too strict with Ke Ruochu, which had led to the ongoing tension in their mother-daughter relationship.
Sheng Ruqi stayed in the kitchen to help Yuan Luzhi prepare breakfast.
“Can you cook?”
“A little bit, I cook for myself when I'm not busy. By the way, Auntie, when will you have time to come over to my place for a meal?”
“Next week?” Yuan Luzhi also calmed down, after accepting all this, it really felt like she had gained an extra daughter.
"Sure."
From time to time, Yuan Luzhi glanced at Sheng Ruqi, who was indeed beautiful, with delicate features and an outstanding temperament. Suddenly, she somewhat agreed with Ke Zhihan's words... She couldn't understand how her usually quiet daughter managed to make such a girlfriend.
It was almost eight o'clock.
Sheng Ruqi walked into the bedroom, and Ke Ruochu was still asleep. She bent over at the bedside, one hand supporting herself on the bed, while the other gently tended to Ke Ruochu's messy hair.
Ke Ruochu felt a little itchy and tilted her head.
“Baby, you’re awake.”
“Hmm……” Ke Ruochu puffed her cheeks and let out a sound, groggily opening her eyes to see Sheng Ruoqi's face, “Why did you wake up so early today?”
The voice after just waking up was soft and unclear, sticky and blurry.
"It's already eight o'clock, haven't you had enough sleep?"
Ke Ruochu was still not fully awake; she raised her arm to wrap around Sheng Ruqi's neck and, in a dazed manner, planted a kiss on the corner of Sheng Ruqi's lips, smiling with pursed lips, both lazy and sweet.
Getting more and more accustomed to turning on the clingy mode in front of her.
Since they got together, Sheng Ruqi rarely saw Ke Ruochu like this, lazy in bed. She coaxed her like a child, saying, "Lazy bug, get up and have breakfast."
```htmlKe Ruochu expressed dissatisfaction, "You're the lazy one; I just woke up later than you today."
Usually, Sheng Ruoqi not only sleeps in but also drags her along, and several times she almost ended up late for work.```
Sheng Ruqi lowered her head to give a kiss, "Whatever my wife says is right."
Ke Ruochu thought about recording this sentence to share with Bai Meng, because Bai Meng often complained that Sheng Ruqi had a bad temper and was afraid of being bullied.
In front of Ke Ruochu, Sheng Ruqi truly had no temper; she just wanted to give her the best and gentlest parts of herself.
*
According to the plan, during the Spring Festival, Ke Ruochu followed Sheng Ruqi to Ningcheng to meet her parents. Sheng's father and mother were surprised that their daughter had brought such a little girlfriend home, but they didn't say much.
Everything went smoothly.
This year, Ke Ruo Chu didn't accompany Yuan Lu Zhi on her trip because her aunt took her mother to Bali. The two of them enjoyed swimming and diving, and they sent back many photos to Ke Ruo Chu and Sheng Ru Qi, who stayed in the country.
Not sure if it's just a feeling, but Ke Rouchu noticed that Yuan Luzhi isn't as "concerned" about her as she used to be.
Less concern is a good thing.
Seeing Yuan Luzhi gradually focus on her own life, Ke Rouchu felt genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart, and the pressure was reduced by more than half. She really didn't want her mom to always be centered around her.
Overall, after meeting Sheng Ruqi, all the bad times have improved.
Life has returned to its calm state, but Ke Ruochu enjoys this calmness now.
Finding the right person at the right time, feeling a mutual attraction, and then naturally coming together may seem simple and ordinary, but it must be said that this is the truest happiness.
From the first year of graduate school to the third, though it was a bitter and difficult time, with Sheng Ruqi's companionship, Ke Ruochu felt as if it passed in the blink of an eye.
The cicadas are buzzing in the hot wind, quietly marking the arrival of another graduation season.
Ke Ruo Chu finally became part of the group about to leave campus. During her time in school, she looked forward to graduation, but now that it's close, she starts to feel reluctant, as this is the place where she has struggled for eight years.
After finishing his graduation thesis, Ke Ruo Chu had a lot of free time, for example, he could accompany Sheng Ru Qi on the sofa to watch TV at night.
“Has Tiansuan (Sweet Melon) gotten fatter again?” Ke Ruo Chu nudged Tiansuan's belly with his foot, which was a soft little lump.
“Is there?” Sheng Ruqi embraced Ke Ruochu and took the ice watermelon she offered with her mouth.
“Of course, look at her belly. Have you been secretly feeding her canned food lately?”
“The sweet melon was fed by you.”
```htmlKe Ruochu had nothing to say.
After a tiring day at work, the most enjoyable thing is to spend time like this, cuddled together.
Bai Meng said they were increasingly resembling a young couple living together, and neither Ke Ruochu nor Sheng Ruqi denied this.```
Looking at the bald professor on TV, Sheng Ruqi touched Ke Ruochu's face and said, "Baby."
"Mm." Ke Ruochu had just finished showering, her hair fluffy and smelling pleasantly of shampoo.
Sheng Ruqi was playing with her long black hair, smiling as she teased: "I've heard that medical students are prone to baldness. With so much hair, you probably won't go bald in the future, right?"
Ke Ruochu turned her head towards Sheng Ruqi and asked, "If I go bald, would you dislike me?"
Sheng Ruqi avoided the heavy topic lightly: "If you're going bald, I'll take you for a hair transplant."
Ke Ruochu straightened her face, "So you can."
Sheng Ruqi pinched Ke Ruochu's face, "Look at you, knowing how to be stubborn."
It's face-pinching time again. Ke Ruochu smiled and ordered, "Sheng Ruqi, let go."
"I won't let go."
"You're so childish."
"Ke Ruochu, how old are you? Calling me childish?"
……
Two people chatted casually, taking turns to speak, and gradually their voices lowered as their lips slowly came together. At first, they kissed without much intention, but then, they were lost in a passionate deep kiss.
Ke Ruo first discovered that Sheng Ruqi loved to kiss her, and of course, she felt the same way. So, after more than two years together, they were still able to maintain the feeling of being in a passionate romance.
“Wife, I want to discuss something with you.”
"What's the matter?"
“Next month, our school has a graduation party. I want to sign up for a performance. Will you accompany me? Let's report a four-hand piano duet.”
“Can I attend your school's graduation party?”
“Let’s give it a try.” Ke Ruochu felt a bit uncertain. According to convention, the graduation party is usually organized by the school’s faculty and students, and whether her program could be selected was also a concern.
But I still want to give it a try; I'm about to leave school, and Ke Ruochu wants to create more memories.
“I'll take that as your agreement.”
Sheng Ruqi wrapped her arms around Ke Ruochu's waist, “If you perform well tonight, I’ll agree to your request.”
柯若初美滋滋的：“怎么才算表现好？”
“你说呢？”盛如绮吻在柯若初唇上，熟练褪-着她身上的睡袍。
柯若初都懂，她自认是个不太有情调的人，但跟盛如绮在一起后，她还是挺开窍的。
The sofa is the most common place for two people to take care of each other, apart from the bed and bathroom. Ke Ruo Chu gasped lowly and couldn't help but want to untie the restraints on Sheng Ruqi's body.
"Don't move your hands," Sheng Ruqi sighed.
Ke Ruo Chu's cheeks were flushed, and she said very seriously to Sheng Ruqi, "Then how should I... perform."
Thinking quite beautifully, Sheng Ruqi took the waist belt of a nearby bathrobe, while kissing Ke Ruo Chu, she tied her wrists with the belt—
