It was as if a firework had exploded inside her.
No one had ever called her with that nickname in her two lifetimes. Not her family members, let alone Meng Renshu.
That was why, when Dai Zhiqiang suddenly called her that, her mind blanked out. She couldn't form coherent thoughts and could only look at him in a daze.
"Yi Yi, can I call you that from now on?"
Li Caiyi nodded her head in automatic response, making him chuckle. His entire face seemed to shine from the sheer joy.
"I can't believe this day will come. I'm so happy right now."
His boyish smile never failed to tug on her heartstring. Overwhelmed with the feeling of love, Li Caiyi hugged his neck tighter. "Zhi, kiss me?"
"I thought you would never ask." Dai Zhiqiang smirked evilly. "Didn't I tell you I will make you beg someday?"
Even in this situation, he still wanted to tease her. Li Caiyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You are right. I admit my defeat. Please kiss me now."
Dai Zhiqiang's smile deepened. "So impatient? But then again, I'm the same."
He crashed his lips on her after he said that. Deep inside, he knew he shouldn't do this, but how could he deny her when she begged for him obediently like that?
It had been a while since they kissed, so all the pent-up desire and burning feeling for her exploded.
Dai Zhiqiang couldn't stop kissing and tasting the red lips he always imagined during his sleepless night.
Meanwhile, Li Caiyi was once again rendered breathless by his fervour kiss. It felt like she had awakened the sleeping beast inside him, and now that beast refused to let her go.

He clung to her tightly and latched their mouth and tongue together like there was no tomorrow. His intensity turned her body into a puddle of water, which scared her a bit.
'
But this time, she didn't want to pull away from him. Hence, instead of pushing him like she always did, she took the initiative of pulling him closer by the neck and deepened their kiss.
"Mmh… Haa….Ahn…"
The room was filled with sounds of their wet kiss and suggestive moans. Dai Zhiqiang would occasionally pull away to let her breathe before dipping down again for more. Every time he did that, Li Caiyi would accept him with open arms.
Both were drunk in the passionate moment and too engrossed to notice that their position kept climbing up the bed. Now, Dai Zhiqiang completely had her beneath him, trapping her petite figure with his heavy body.
Their outfit had become dishevelled too. Her skirt hiked up so high, revealing the milky white skin of his thigh, which was a sight to behold. He would caress and relish the smoothness of her skin, and she would gasp sexily into their kiss.
Dai Zhiqiang's head was fuzzy, and he couldn't think of anything except that he wanted this girl so badly. His initially gentle movement and touch became rougher and more urgent as time passed by.
It didn't take long before he couldn't feel satisfied with just a kiss alone, so he travelled down and sucked on her neck.
Li Caiyi would squirm and writhe under him when he touched her, which further fanned his desire. He could feel the change in his body, and by the time he realized that his lust had taken over his mind, it was already too late to stop.
The more he touched her, the more she felt hot inside and wanted an outlet to release it. She felt itchy and wanted him to touch her in various places but held herself back using the little rationality left in her mind.
"Zhi… It's so hot." She mewled softly.
'.',
"Yi Yi, you're really going to be the death of me someday. Please don't tempt me even more than this," Dai Zhiqiang said with a painful expression.
Even Li Caiyi didn't know she could be so bold and unrestrained like this. The bitter experience in her past taught her that being a good girl wouldn't make her happy in the end. In this lifetime, she would be braver and grasp her own happiness.
"Do you hate this side of me?"
Dai Zhiqiang dipped down and kissed her collarbone hard, making her moan and leaving a red mark on it.
"I love everything about you. So much it hurts me. I want to keep you for myself so badly."
His sincere words warmed her heart, and she pulled him closer to her. "Zhi, I love you very much, too."
Dai Zhiqiang was hanging on one thin string of reasoning before, but listening to her confession just snapped that last line. With a hazy mind, he unbuttoned her shirt one by one. He wanted to break that last wall between them, so she would completely be his and his alone.
Li Caiyi noticed his intention, and although she was nervous inside, she made no attempt to stop him.
"Yi Yi. I want you. Right here and now. I promise I will be responsible for you for the rest of your life, so can you please allow me to have this honor?"
This might be a rash and stupid decision. Li Caiyi knew that well. However, she had enough of suppressing herself and made way for others. Just for this once, she wanted to be reckless.
Dai Zhiqiang was stunned when he saw tears flowing down her eyes to the sheet. Despite crying like that, her smile was radiant, and her gaze on him was full of love.
"Yes. I love you."
Seeing her smile, the fire inside him completely cooled down, like it was being washed down by the water. He was brimming with lust until a moment ago, but now he wanted nothing but to provide her with the warmth and love she deserved.
Dai Zhiqiang leaned down and whispered softly beside her ears. "Yi Yi. I swear I will make you happy."
After saying that, he embraced her tightly but also with so much tenderness, which made her want to cry even more.
'I never loved someone this deeply before. Even when he remembers nothing, he is still the same as before. I don't want to let go of this person, ever.'
Dai Zhiqiang had thoroughly untied the knot she always had in her heart all this time.
She once thought that it would be best if Dai Zhiqiang could remember what happened in his previous life, but at that moment, she didn't care anymore, even if she found out someday that her Shen Qiang wasn't Dai Zhiqiang.
Li Caiyi felt happiest when she was with him. That feeling was good enough for her.
Li Caiyi closed her eyes, surrendering her mind to the pleasure he gave her as she fully entrusted her heart and body to this person.
