Qin Shu had not noticed the man earlier when she glanced through the room because the curtains were half-drawn and the lights on the balcony were off. Furthermore, the man was wearing a black suit.
She dried her hair as she walked over. She opened the glass door with her hands and a faint smell of tobacco greeted her.
Fu Tingyu stopped smoking. He knew that she was here and that she didnât like the smell of tobacco. He subconsciously put out the cigarette in his hand with his fingertips and threw it into the trash can.
The whole set of movements was completed in a blink of an eye. Even the action of throwing the cigarette into the trash can was accurate, cool, and elegant.
The smell of tobacco was a little strong. The manâs slender figure turned and blocked the girl who was about to walk into the balcony.
âLetâs go in.â
He pushed the girl in as he said that. Then, he pulled the glass door shut to block out the smell of smoke.
Qin Shu looked up at the man. She could still smell the smell of tobacco. She had seen that there was a cigarette between his fingers just now. How did the cigarette suddenly disappear when he turned around?
Fu Tingyu knew that the smell of tobacco was very strong on him, so after closing the door, he let go of the girl.
âIâm going to take a shower.â
After he said that, he walked towards the bathroom.
Qin Shu called out to him, âWait a minute.â
The man stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the girl. âWhatâs up, Babe?â
Qin Shu hung the white towel she had been using to dry her hair earlier around her neck and walked over. Her gaze was fixed on the manâs slender knuckles.
When she walked up to the man, she reached out to pick up the manâs hand and glanced at his fair fingertips.
Only then did Fu Tingyu realize what the girl wanted to do. He remembered what the girl had threatened him with the last time.
âI will hurt when you get hurt.â
His other hand couldnât help but clench tightly.
Qin Shu didnât notice anything and let go of this hand. Then, she went to grab his other hand, but the man dodged.
âIâm going to take a shower first. I smell strongly of tobacco.â
The manâs deep voice came from above her head. Qin Shu knew that he must have used his hand to put out the cigarette again.
She looked up at the man. âLet me take a look at your hand. You can go take a shower after that.â
Fu Tingyu saw that the girl was insistent on looking, so he took the initiative to admit his mistake. âBabe, donât look anymore. I wonât do it again.â
Qin Shu stretched out her hand. She didnât seem like she would stop until she looked at his hand. âLet me see it.â
Deep down inside, she complained to herself, men were all liars!
Fu Tingyu glanced at the girlâs hand and said, âWait until Iâm done washing up before looking. I smell like cigarettes.â
After saying that, he walked straight into the bathroom without any hesitation.
The bathroom door closed with a bang.
Qin Shu looked at the tightly shut bathroom door with a dark expression.
Wasnât it the same whether she looked at it now or later?
Qin Shu angrily removed the towel from her neck and continued to dry her wet hair.
Half an hour later-
Qin Shuâs hair was mostly dry. She was sitting at the head of the bed, waiting for the man to come out.
The bathroom door opened.
Fu Tingyu walked out from inside.
Qin Shu looked up and saw that the man had only wrapped his lower body with a white towel.
The manâs muscles were well-defined. His body was perfect, and the lines of his body were beautiful.
He looked skinny when he was dressed but was actually muscular when he took off his clothes.
He had was very strong from all kinds of training.
His black hair was messy, and his sideburns were slightly damp. Water droplets slid down his chin and down his Adamâs apple.
The man walked to the side of the bed and then sat on the edge of the bed to look at the girl.
Qin Shu saw the man walking to her side, and she looked at his right hand. She reached her hand out to him again. âLet me see your hand.â
Fu Tingyu stretched out his hand, but he didnât show it to her. Instead, he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace..
âWhat are you...â
The man didnât give her a chance to speak at all.
Qin Shu really believed that men were all liars.
He said that he would show her his hand.
In the end, it was all a lie.
..
..
..
Qin Shu was enveloped in a warm embrace as she hovered between the state of being asleep and not.
Qin Shu was so sleepy that she couldnât even open her eyes. Beside her, the man spoke in a deep voice, sounding like he was trying to coax a child.
âBabe, donât be angry, eh.â
Fu Tingyu looked at the girl who was pouting even after she fell asleep, showing how angry she was.
Fu Tingyu raised his hand and looked down at his fair fingertips. There were burn marks on them but they were not considered an injury.
He looked down at the girl in his arms. The girl looked peaceful as she slept. Possessiveness burned in his dark eyes.
âThe person in your heart is me. I donât care ven if Iâm hurt and covered in bruises.â
After he said that, he laughed softly. The corners of his mouth twitched with a hint of self-mockery.
The next day-
On the way to the exam venue
Qin Shu sat in the back seat of the car. She looked out of the window and refused to look at Fu Tingyu who was leaning against her.
Fu Tingyuâs slender fingers grabbed the girlâs smooth chin and made her face him. He lowered his eyes and looked at her. âBabe, I was wrong. Donât be angry anymore.â
Qin Shu glared at him. Because ye Luo was sitting in front, she could only lower her voice. âWerenât you very righteous last night?â
The car suddenly stopped.
Qin Shu glanced outside the car. There were many parents of exam takers gathered at the entrance of the examination venue. They all had worried and anxious expressions on their faces.
She suddenly thought of herself. Her mother who had loved her dearly had passed away.
If she hadnât passed away, she would definitely have stayed by Qin Shuâs side, just like those parents outside.
As for her father, she didnât have to mention it.
She turned her eyes away from those parents and looked at the man in front of her. He took the time out of his busy schedule to send her to the examination hall. He didnât even care about his younger brother.
He was the only one who valued her so much.
The softest part of Qin Shuâs heart was touched. Her anger from last night was also reduced by half.
âYou should go back after I enter the exam venue.â
âBabe, youâre not angry anymore?â That was what Fu Tingyu cared about the most.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qin Shu glanced at the man. âOf course Iâm angry.âAfter saying that, she pushed open the car door and got out. Then, she walked straight into the examination venue.
Fu Tingyu sat beside the car door, with his hand against his chin. He looked at the girlâs back, reluctant to move his eyes away from her.
After the girl walked into the examination hall and beyond his field of vision, he looked away. He took a cigarette from a cigarette box by the side, put it in his mouth, and lit it.

â
After the college entrance exam
Qin Shu looked out of the examination venue, the parents were relieved and were all smiling happily.
She looked at the car parked by the roadside and walked over quickly.
When she got in the car and saw that the man was still in the car, she didnât know whether to be happy or angry.
âWhy didnât you go back? Youâre so busy but you stayed just to wait for the college entrance exam to be over?â
Fu Tingyu looked at the girl and saw that she was covered in sweat. He took out a piece of tissue with his slender fingers and wiped the sweat on her forehead.
âThere are so many people waiting outside the exam hall. Which one of them is free? Iâm just one of them. You are just be like the other exam takers, you have someone outside waiting for you too.â
The manâs voice was very faint, but was full of love and an almost imperceptible hint of tenderness.
