Come a Little Closer

When they first met, Pei Yu thought Wei Zhen was just a bad man who didn't take relationships seriously.

As time went by, she added womanizer and heartless flirt to the list of labels she pinned on him.

But time and time again, when she was in desperate trouble, this bad man pulled her out of the depths of misery.

Then the bad man started pursuing her, and all Pei Yu wanted was to avoid him.

First, she was mute. Second, she was no match for Wei Zhen's family and status.

Much later, when they parted, Pei Yu wanted to say a proper goodbye, but couldn't. All she could leave behind was a tear-stained letter and a silent phone call.

Pei Yu lightly tapped her fingers against the phone receiver. She knew he would understand what she meant.

When Wei Zhen finally found her, Pei Yu was staring blankly at the sunset, her big eyes fixed directly on the sun as if she couldn't feel the sting.

"Little Fish."

A familiar, gentle call drew Pei Yu's gaze back to him.

Tears as big as pearls fell one after another.

"Wei Zhen." She spoke softly, her voice barely audible, but Wei Zhen heard her clearly.

After more than ten years without a voice, Pei Yu spoke for the first time.

I had endured every hardship in the world and thought myself immune to everything, but just hearing your voice was enough to bring me to my knees.

Having found Wei Zhen again, Pei Yu was someone he wanted to hold close every single day.

Even late at night, he would hold her tightly in his arms, bite her earlobe, and whisper,

"Little Fish, Little Fish, say my name."

Every time, Pei Yu could only blush furiously and softly call him, "Wei Zhen."

Both are virgins.
