He didn't know how long he kissed her affectionately, but she gradually calmed down, and even her breathing calmed down.
Lin Jiage waited until she finally quietened down, and only when the hands that were tearing at his clothes fell away from his body did he slowly release her lips.
She had already fallen asleep, and the scorching heat on her body was slowly receding.
Her eyes that had been a moment ago had reverted back to her usual calm and peaceful self.
He stared at her for a long time. Then he reached out and pulled up the bathrobe that she had torn off her body in her infatuation. Bit by bit, her fair skin was completely covered.
He straightened his body, tidied up his messy bathrobe, and fastened the straps again. Then he bent over and carried her into the bedroom. He walked over to the bed, lifted the covers, and gently placed her on the bed. Then he pulled the covers over her and carefully covered her body. His gaze fell on her face again.
He stared at her for a very, very long time before he finally reached out to tidy up her messy hair. Then, he stood up and left the bedroom.
Before closing the door, he glanced at her through the gap of the door. He remained silent for a few seconds before closing the door and heading to the washroom.
Coming out, he walked over to the counter and took out a bottle of cold water from the fridge. After twisting the cap off, he gulped down half of the bottle before pulling the towel hanging around his neck over his head to wipe his wet hair.

Even though that wicked thought had surfaced in his mind time and time again, he still couldn't bring himself to use such a method to obtain her.
Perhaps, to her parents, to the Lin Clan, and even to him, his grandfather's plan might be a good thing.
But of all the good things that everyone was looking forward to, who would care about her? Who would ask her whether she was willing or not?
She was a person, and her innocence was her own. Other than her, no one else could make a decision for her.
Especially him … Not only could he not decide her life on his own, he had to respect her life.
Because she was the girl he truly liked, and because he truly liked her, he had to do this … Because, even if the entire world became her enemy, he still had to stand by her side … Only then did he deserve to like her, and only then did he deserve to like her.
In truth, he had already thought of doing this, hadn't he?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have unintentionally overheard the conversation between his grandfather and Auntie Sun that night and bought the medicine the next day. Otherwise, he wouldn't have swallowed the medicine the first time he went to the washroom to take a shower.
He was afraid that he would really make a huge mistake … Even though he was looking forward to it more than anyone else.

When Shi Yao opened her eyes, she felt as if she had been asleep for a thousand years.
