Cherishing Bao in the Palm of My Heart

1: Zhou Bao'er was a little cat who grew up "nourished" by Jiang Xingjian, and only knew how to bare her teeth and act tough.

In public, she was proud, aloof, and disdainful of everything. Behind Jiang Xingjian's back, she was soft, pliant, sweet, and clingy. One purr and she'd roll over, exposing her little belly and closing her eyes in contentment as he rubbed and squeezed her.

"Bao'er, that's a finger, not a teaser wand. If you keep sucking on it, I'm going to have a hard time."

"I'm just practicing in advance. Hey... don't move, don't move. I'll stop sucking, okay?"

"Too late. I need to practice too..." Jiang Xingjian held up his wet finger. The corners of his upturned eyes glowed faintly red. "Where should I start?"

The moonlight outside the window was bright, with a faint blush to it, just like her face. The air suddenly grew thick and cloying.

2: Zhou Bao'er had known since childhood that she could only rely on herself to be her own trump card. She'd suffered enough from her family, and had forcibly crossed love out of her dictionary before she even understood it.

Who could have guessed that this kitten, pretending to be stubborn, had already stepped into the lion's territory?

He was abstinent with everyone else, but around her, it was as if a genetic lock had made him love only her.

How could your dictionary be missing love...

Back then, he came from a prestigious family, was brilliant and refined, and had broad shoulders, a slim waist, and incredible stamina. He was one of the most sought-after figures among the children of the elite.

Back then, before her lotus-like beauty had even bloomed, she already had striking looks, striking and well-defined features, and an naturally cool air about her, though she had a physical disability.

Before meeting Jiang Xingjian, her world was wrapped in resentment, indifference, and helplessness.

After meeting him, all he did was hold her and say, "All you have to do is accept me. I'll take care of everything else."

To win the right to love freely, he went abroad to study. Love began to take root, then grew through innocence and uncertainty. He had never meant to seize it, but circumstances left no room to hesitate.

3: The night Zhou Bao'er got into university.

Busy running her social media account, she had recruited Jiang Xingjian to model for her for the day. Through her camera lens, she looked at him. His usually sharp, cold eyes now resembled mist in the mountains. His features had long since lost their youthful softness, and his face was defined by clean, sharp lines.

The night was dark as ink.

After a busy day, Zhou Bao'er turned and pointed to the villa beside them. "Young Master Jiang, could I borrow your house to rest for a bit?"

That night, she drank quite a lot. Her already dazzling features grew even more alluring beneath the haze of alcohol.

Jiang Xingjian kept his eyes straight ahead. "Get some rest early. You can sleep in my room tonight. I'll go to the study. I still have some things to take care of."

Late at night, she knocked on Jiang Xingjian's door. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes shimmered. "Can I come in and talk to you?"

"Sure."

Zhou Bao'er clenched her fingers and took a breath. The scent of alcohol hung around her, but her mind was clear. Her soft lips parted. "Jiang Xingjian, should we give it a try...?"

She thought this would let her protect her heart.

Who could have known that Jiang Xingjian would treasure her completely, just as his name suggested? Who could possibly resist that?

A few little tips about this story:

1. Both leads are each other's first love, and both are sexually inexperienced.

2. The male lead is abstinent with everyone else but endlessly indulgent toward the female lead. His attraction to her is instinctive, etched into his bones. They are both adults during their intimate moments.

3. The ending is happy, so enjoy without worry.
