“When did you reach my place? Also, why did you bring so many things? These must be heavy.”

Pei Ge reached out, wanting to carry some items for him.

Ji Ziming dodged her, though, as he smiled at her. “These aren’t heavy.”

“Quickly come in, then. Don’t bother changing your shoes.”

She led him into the living room.

Only after he had placed all the boxes on the table in the living room did she realize that the things he had brought were almost similar to those brought over by Fu Mingxuan; they were basically all supplements.

In fact, most of those meant for her mother were exactly the same items Fu Mingxuan had given them.

“Why did you buy these things, too?” She pointed amusedly at one of the supplements.

“Mhm? What?” He turned to look at her in confusion.

“Oh, senior—I mean Fu Mingxuan also gave us some of these on New Year’s Day,” she explained without hiding anything.

The man’s brows moved ever so slightly at this as he thought in confusion, Why did Mingxuan give supplements to Pei Ge?

And it’s on New Year’s Day to boot.

“He came over?”

“Yes, he did.” She nodded and casually added, “Probably because it’s on the way.”

“Oh.”

He did not know if that guy did it because her house was on the way, but he was still unhappy to know that his friend had come to her house.

Pei Ge, who was oblivious to her boyfriend’s jealousy due to his calm face, pretended to be jealous as she complained to him.

“Ziming, all these seem to be for my mother. Didn’t you think of giving me a New Year present, too?”

It was the first time he had seen her behave this way; hence, he did not think that she was joking but thought that she was truly mad, instead.

“…” He frowned a little, blaming himself inside.

He only thought about Zhang Manhua being of old age, so he brought some supplements over from home, but he forgot to prepare a present for his girlfriend…

“Pfft!”

His troubled look made her burst out laughing.

“Ha ha! Okay, okay. I was just teasing you for fun! You really took it for real.”

She continued laughing at the lost expression he revealed.

Laughing, she continued, “Ziming, did you really think I was asking you for a New Year present?”

“…” His lips twitched upon seeing that her smile was so wide her eyes narrowed into slits.

Only then did he realize that she had tricked him again.

“Alright, Ziming. Wait here awhile for me. I’ll go change and we can leave.”

After a bout of laughter, she informed him and returned to her room.

Changing her clothes quickly, she gave herself a simple makeup and returned to the living room with a bag in hand.

“Let’s go.”

When he saw her return, he asked in confusion, “Where is auntie?”

“I’m not too sure, too. Maybe, she went out.”

As she was too focused on her studies this afternoon, she only vaguely recalled her mother saying that she would go out.

The two held hands as they walked down the stairs to the car. Their actions were so intimate it felt as if honey would ooze out.

Bang!

Closing the door and buckling his seatbelt, the man stepped on the gas and drove to their destination.

“Where are we going?”

She turned around to look at him inquiringly.

“Home.” He continued looking forward, but his lips curled up slightly.

“Huh?” She paused at this and then muttered in confusion, “What home?”

Didn’t we just leave home?

“Our home.” He turned to look at her with a doting expression.

“Our… home?” Her head became muddled as she stared into his loving eyes.

“Yes, our home,” he repeated gently. The moment his low and clear voice turned gentle, it resembled an aphrodisiac, making one feel as if they were drowning.

By the time she regained her senses, quite a bit of time had passed.

Peering at the familiar scenery outside, she realized what he meant by going back to their home.

“Ziming, are we returning to the eco-garden villa we have cohabited?”

She turned to look at him in surprise. Only now did she vaguely understand what he meant.

In any case, she was still a little shocked. She had not expected him to call that as their home.

“Mhm.” He hummed lightly while he faced the front.

For some reason, she felt sweetness spread in her heart.

Our home… she mumbled inside, feeling her body warm at the sound.

The smile on her face also got wider at the sight of the increasingly familiar scenery outside.

Under such a warm atmosphere, the car quickly reached its destination.

Her eyes lit up slightly when she hopped out of the car and saw that the eco-garden villa was not much different from when she left.

When she walked inside, she noticed that the room was clean and bright. They even had the faint smell of the sun and flowers. Her eyes lit up even brighter at this.

“Do you come here often?”

She turned to look at him happily.

“Mhm.” He nodded slightly at her happy look.

“I come here most of the time when I’m not busy.” To feel your scent and sleep in the room that has your scent.

Of course, he was too embarrassed to say the second half of his words.

During that time when she was gone from his life and he realized that she had such a great influence on him, he had insomnia over a woman for the first time.

Other than lying in the room with her scent, he was unable to sleep peacefully…
