Chapter 285: Meeting you is the greatest luck of my life

A few minutes later, the two of them returned to their home. Gu Yifan brought the dishes he had prepared to the table.

“Su Hanhan, come and try my cooking.”

He called out to Su Qinghe.

Su Qinghe looked at the appetizing spread of food on the table and couldn’t help but ask in surprise, “Yifan, did you make all of this ahead of time?”

“Of course. Go on, try it and see if you like it.”

Gu Yifan said with a smile.

Su Qinghe nodded, picked up her chopsticks, and took a bite of the braised pork ribs.

“It’s… delicious!”

She exclaimed in admiration.

Hearing Su Qinghe’s praise, a satisfied smile spread across Gu Yifan’s face.

“I’m glad you like it. Eat up,” he said.

Seeing Su Qinghe nod, a gentle smile touched Gu Yifan’s lips, his eyes radiating happiness.

After dinner, Su Qinghe took the initiative to wash the dishes.

Afterward, the two of them cuddled up comfortably on the sofa to watch a movie.

Gu Yifan held Su Qinghe, who in turn was holding a cat. The entire scene was incredibly warm and harmonious.

…

Time passed without them realizing it.

By the time the movie ended, it was already nine-thirty in the evening.

“Su Hanhan, time to go take a shower,”

Gu Yifan said gently.

“Mhm…”

A rare, happy smile graced Su Qinghe’s face.

After they both showered, Gu Yifan helped Su Qinghe blow-dry her hair. Then, they got ready for bed, since they had class again the next day.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Time for sleep,”

Gu Yifan said.

“Mhm.”

Su Qinghe nodded obediently.

“I’m turning off the lights then,”

Gu Yifan said.

Just as he was about to turn off the light, Su Qinghe suddenly spoke up.

“W-wait a second.”

Huh??

Gu Yifan paused, his hand freezing on its way to the light switch.

He looked at Su Qinghe. “What’s wrong?”

“Can… can you wait a minute…?”

Su Qinghe asked in a small voice.

It seemed there was something she wanted to say to Gu Yifan, but she just didn’t know how to begin.

Gu Yifan didn’t rush her, simply waiting quietly for her to speak.

Another moment passed…

“I… Can I ask you something?”

Su Qinghe finally asked, her voice hesitant.

Her words were a little jumbled, perhaps because she was so nervous.

“Hm?”

Gu Yifan paused.

“What is it?”

he asked in a soft, gentle voice.

“Will… will you leave me one day?”

Su Qinghe asked, her voice barely a whisper.

“Uh…”

Gu Yifan hadn’t expected Su Hanhan to suddenly ask such a question.

‘This silly girl,’ he thought. ‘Judging from things Su Qinghe has said in the past, she’s probably wanted to ask this for a long time!’

And now she had finally worked up the courage to say it.

“Never…”

“Not in this life, not in the next, and not in the life after that. I will never leave you.”

“Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I will never, ever leave you.”

“Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me in this life!”

Gu Yifan spoke with a serious tone, his eyes full of adoration as he looked at Su Qinghe.

In an instant, Su Qinghe felt her nose tingle and her eyes suddenly grew hot and red.

Her eyes glistened with tears…

“Hey…”

“Silly girl, what are you crying for?”

“Don’t worry. No matter what happens from now on, I’ll be here for you.”

Gu Yifan gently wiped the tears from the corners of Su Qinghe’s eyes and spoke softly.

“I’m… I’m crying because I’m happy…”

Su Qinghe said in a small, choked voice.

“Mhm…”

“Happy.”

“From now on, we’ll be happy every single day.”

Gu Yifan said with a smile.

“Mhm…”

Su Qinghe nodded, her expression earnest.

Then, she buried her head in Gu Yifan’s chest.

Suddenly!

She lifted her head again to look at Gu Yifan.

“No, meeting *you* is the luckiest thing that’s ever happened in my entire life!”

Su Qinghe declared, her expression firm and earnest.

Gu Yifan froze for a second.

Then, he gazed at Su Qinghe with deep affection.

Their eyes met.

They could feel each other’s breath.

Leaning closer…

Su Qinghe’s eyes fluttered shut.

「Two and a half hours later.」

“Su Hanhan~”

Gu Yifan suddenly said.

“Hm?”

Su Qinghe poked her head out from under the covers, her face flushed as she looked at Gu Yifan.

“I love you,”

Gu Yifan said softly.

Su Qinghe’s face instantly flushed bright red. Although she was a little confused as to why Gu Yifan would suddenly say that, her heart was still overflowing with happiness and emotion.

“I… I love you too.”

She pulled the covers back over her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.

CLICK.

Gu Yifan smiled, reaching out to turn off the bedroom light.

The entire room was instantly plunged into darkness…

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

…

The rest of the night passed in silence.

The next morning, Gu Yifan was woken up by the alarm on his phone.

He reached over to the nightstand, fumbled for his phone, and turned off the alarm.

Then he slowly opened his eyes, picked up his phone, and checked the time.

It was eight o’clock in the morning.

Gu Yifan put down his phone and glanced at Su Qinghe, who was sleeping soundly in his arms.

At that moment, Su Qinghe was practically draped over half of Gu Yifan’s body.

Her small hand was gripping Gu Yifan’s arm tightly, as if she were afraid he would disappear the moment she let go.

‘This Su Hanhan, she’s such a restless sleeper!’

Gu Yifan smiled and shook his head helplessly.

Suddenly, Gu Yifan noticed the corners of Su Qinghe’s mouth were slightly curved upwards. She was clearly having a wonderful dream.

It was the kind of dream that made a sweet smile appear on her lips even as she slept.

Gu Yifan gently pinched her small nose.

“Ngh…”

Su Qinghe murmured softly.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then she slowly opened her drowsy eyes.

The moment she opened her eyes, the handsome, smiling face of Gu Yifan appeared in her blurry vision.

She reached up and rubbed her eyes, then looked again, focusing.

It was indeed Gu Yifan, looking at her with a smile.

WHOOSH—a blush instantly crept across her exquisite, makeup-free face.

“Morning~”

“My Su Hanhan.”

Gu Yifan reached out and booped her little nose, speaking with a smile.

“G-good morning…”

Su Qinghe replied shyly, her voice soft.

“Mm…”

“Su Hanhan, time to get up.”

“Or we’re really going to be late!”

“Hehehe…”

Gu Yifan said with a chuckle.

“O-okay!”

Su Qinghe nodded.

And with that, the two of them got out of bed.

After the events of last night, their relationship had grown even more intimate…

After getting up and changing, they went to wash up.

They stood together in front of the bathroom mirror brushing their teeth, just like a newlywed couple. The scene was incredibly heartwarming.

After they finished washing up,

Gu Yifan said to Su Qinghe,

“Wait here a sec, I’m going to go down… uh, downstairs and make you a bowl of noodles to eat!”

Su Qinghe: “…-_-||”
