Chapter 297: Warming the Bed for You, Gu Yifan is Touched

“Huh?”

He asked, a little confused, “Honey, what’s wrong?”

“N-nothing…”

Su Qinghe answered, flustered.

Gu Yifan was still a bit puzzled, but he didn’t dwell on it.

He smiled and said, “Honey, let’s go. Time to head home and make dinner~”

“Okay!”

The color had returned to Su Qinghe’s face by now, and she gave him a sweet smile.

After the two of them chatted for a bit longer, Gu Yifan grabbed a fresh set of pajamas and went to take a shower.

He’d have to go to sleep soon after his shower.

After all, he had to wake up early for class tomorrow!

So he needed to get to bed early tonight. Otherwise, he wouldn’t get enough rest and would be drowsy in class.

He’d be fine, but it was different for Su Qinghe.

「About 20 minutes later…」

Gu Yifan came out of the bathroom.

He walked back to the bedroom, drying his hair as he went.

Su Qinghe was already tucked into bed.

Seeing Gu Yifan come in, she lifted her little head for a glance before shyly ducking back under the covers.

“WHOOSH… WHOOSH…”

Gu Yifan picked up the hairdryer and dried his hair in no time at all.

After putting away the towel and hairdryer, Gu Yifan locked the door from the inside and prepared to slip under the covers himself.

It was, after all, a bit chilly outside the blankets.

That’s right.

The weather in Jinling had started to turn cold, with a huge difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures.

Now, Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe both needed a quilt at night.

Of course, Gu Yifan was fine. With his constitution, it wouldn’t matter even if he didn’t use a blanket.

But girls tend to feel the cold more, and Su Qinghe was no exception. She was already finding the nights quite chilly.

“You… you can sleep on this side… I warmed it up for you…” Su Qinghe said suddenly.

“Huh??”

Gu Yifan’s movements froze.

He looked over at Su Qinghe.

He saw her looking at him with a completely serious expression.

‘What a silly Hanhan!’

Gu Yifan never expected Su Qinghe would actually warm up the bed for him…

Seeing her earnest, silly Hanhan expression, Gu Yifan couldn’t resist reaching out to pinch her little cheek.

“Alright~”

He nodded and slipped under the covers…

The entire bed was filled with the lingering warmth of Su Qinghe’s body.

It was fragrant and warm!

The moment Gu Yifan lay down, a wave of warmth washed over his entire body.

It was a warmth that touched not just his body, but his heart as well.

Meanwhile, Su Qinghe had moved over to the other side, giving the pre-warmed spot to Gu Yifan.

Gu Yifan reached out and touched the other side of the bed. It was ice-cold.

He couldn’t help but frown.

“Come over here!” Gu Yifan said to Su Qinghe beside him.

“I… I’m not cold…” Su Qinghe said weakly.

At her words, Gu Yifan’s frown deepened.

He couldn’t be bothered to argue.

He simply reached out and pulled Su Qinghe into his arms.

“Ah…”

Su Qinghe was completely stunned by Gu Yifan’s action.

“Sleep like this. It’s warmer!” Gu Yifan said calmly.

“Oh, okay…”

How could Su Qinghe dare say anything else? She nodded obediently.

“Let’s sleep!”

Gu Yifan said softly.

With that, he turned off the bedroom light.

The room was instantly plunged into darkness.

Su Qinghe slowly closed her eyes, snuggled into Gu Yifan’s warm embrace.

Soon, only the sound of their steady breathing filled the room.

They had both drifted off to dreamland.

「The night passed peacefully.」

Early the next morning, the couple was woken up by their phone’s alarm.

Gu Yifan slowly opened his eyes, still sleepy and a little dazed.

At the same time, Su Qinghe did the exact same thing.

They were perfectly in sync!

After rubbing his eyes, Gu Yifan felt a bit more awake.

He fumbled for his phone on the nightstand and turned off the still-blaring alarm.

Gu Yifan glanced at the time on his phone.

It was already 7:30 in the morning.

‘We slept for so long…’

“Haaaah…”

He stretched languidly.

By now, Su Qinghe had also come to her senses. She was fully awake.

“Honey, you’re awake?” Gu Yifan asked in a soft, gentle voice.

“Mhm…” Su Qinghe nodded shyly.

“It’s getting late. Let’s get up and get ready. After breakfast, it’ll be about time to leave for class!” Gu Yifan said after a moment of thought.

“Mhm… okay!” Su Qinghe nodded obediently.

With that, the two got out of bed.

After quickly washing up, they prepared to go downstairs and cook.

“Honey, wait here for me. I’m going to the storage room to get a clay pot!” Gu Yifan said.

“Okay!” Su Qinghe replied obediently.

Soon, Gu Yifan returned from the storage room with the clay pot and placed it in the kitchen.

“Honey, let’s have clay pot congee today!” Gu Yifan said, pointing at the pot in front of him.

“Mhm…” Su Qinghe nodded obediently.

And so began their sweet time making breakfast together!

「Not long after.」

Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe had finished making breakfast.

“Honey, come try this!”

Gu Yifan picked up a piece of fried egg with his chopsticks and placed it on Su Qinghe’s plate.

“Okay… Thank you, hubby…” Su Qinghe said, a little shy.

「A little while later!」

They had both finished their breakfast.

“Honey, it’s about time. Shall we get ready to leave for class?” Gu Yifan said, checking the time.

“Mhm…” Su Qinghe nodded obediently.

Then, the two of them grabbed their textbooks and headed out.

「A few minutes later.」

Gu Yifan drove Su Qinghe to the academic building.

Since it was a Sunday, there weren’t many students coming for class.

Gu Yifan dropped Su Qinghe off in front of the building.

“Honey, you head on in. I’ll come right up after I park the car!” Gu Yifan said.

“Mhm…” Su Qinghe nodded obediently.

She then went into the building to wait, while Gu Yifan drove off to find a parking spot.

「A few minutes later!」

Gu Yifan found Su Qinghe at the foot of the main staircase.

“Honey, I’m here. Let’s go!”

“Mhm…” Su Qinghe nodded obediently. The two then went upstairs together.

That’s right.

Gu Yifan didn’t have class this morning. He had come to sit in on Su Qinghe’s class with her.

During the lecture, Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe sat together.

From time to time, Gu Yifan would steal a glance at Su Qinghe out of the corner of his eye. Whenever he saw how intently she was listening to the lecture, his heart would fill with a sense of satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Su Qinghe was also secretly paying attention to Gu Yifan. She couldn’t help but look at him, thinking, ‘How can this man be so charming?’

Their secret little thoughts intertwined in the classroom, creating a unique scene of their own.

“Alright, everyone, that’s all for today. Class dismissed!”

As the professor’s voice rang out, the morning class came to an end before they knew it.

“Honey, class is over. Let’s go,” Gu Yifan said softly to Su Qinghe.

“Mhm, okay,” Su Qinghe replied obediently.

The couple stood up and left amidst the crowd of students, their perfectly matched looks—he handsome, she beautiful—drawing the envy of everyone around them.
