【One-on-one romance + simmering tension + sweet indulgence + seven-year age gap + happy ending】
Yuan Zhiyu left the place she had called home for twenty-two years.
She came to a strange city, to an old village in Wancheng.
And there, she met the love of her life.
Zhou Wendu remembered their first meeting vividly: in a wide alley, the young woman glared at him.
The second time they met, her phone had gotten wet, so he drove her to town to get it repaired.
The third time, they watched an outdoor movie together at the entrance to the village.
1. Zhou Wendu answered her solemnly, “You’re the only one I like. Do you understand?”
Yuan Zhiyu looked up at him with bleary, drunken eyes. Once she understood what he had said, she smiled happily, looped her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear, answering him word by word: “I like you too.”
“Then will you be my girlfriend?” His voice carried a hint of seduction.
Yuan Zhiyu leaned unsteadily against him and nodded without thinking, her voice soft and sweet. “I want to be Zhou Wendu’s girlfriend!”
2. “What are you coming in here for?” Yuan Zhiyu looked up at him, completely bewildered.
“Obviously, to spend some quality time with my sweetheart.” Before entering, Zhou Wendu deliberately undid a few buttons at his collar.
Yuan Zhiyu immediately clutched one corner of the blanket, rolled over, and wrapped herself up in it.
Zhou Wendu caught every one of her little movements. The corners of his mouth lifted as he looked at the young woman, now bundled up like a caterpillar. “What are you doing?”
“I think it’s more comfortable to sleep inside the blanket,” Yuan Zhiyu insisted, trying to sound tough.
