Chapter 624: It Feels Like We’re on a Honeymoon (Part 1)

"I missed you."

After suppressing the storm of emotions in his heart, Lu Cheng ultimately uttered just three simple words.

Those three words from Lu Cheng sent a thrill of excitement through Shen Nian.

She had even braced herself for some wild, elaborate excuse. She never thought that what she’d hear from him would be just those three simple words.

And yet, those three words were precisely the ones that touched her soul the most.

’I missed you... How could she not have missed him too! Even if it had only been a week, she had missed him desperately! Otherwise, why would our ancestors have left us with the saying, "A day apart feels like three years"?’

"I missed you, too."

As Shen Nian said this, she stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Lu Cheng’s neck, and nestled into his embrace.

She knew they were on campus, but it was already late, and there was no one around. Besides, at that moment, she just really, really wanted to give Lu Cheng this hug.

She had missed his embrace so much.

The instant Shen Nian threw herself into his arms, Lu Cheng wrapped his own arms tightly around her.

Not far behind them, the three who had been secretly watching saw the embrace. They all clapped their hands over their mouths to keep from squealing.

’Oh my god! To think the normally gentle and serene Shen Nian could be so clingy in front of Lu Cheng!’

’If any of the boys at school with a crush on Shen Nian saw this, their hearts would probably break!’

’Then again, even if someone did see, it wouldn’t be a big deal. After all, Shen Nian and Lu Cheng are a legally married couple!’

’And if anyone did gossip about it, it would just be a classic case of sour grapes.’

After a while, as if by some unspoken agreement, Shen Nian and Lu Cheng loosened their embrace.

"Why are you here now? Did you take time off? It’s so late, how are you going to get back?"

Once she was out of Lu Cheng’s arms, all her previous worries came rushing back.

"Yeah, I took time off. So I’m not planning on going back tonight."

"Not planning on going back? Then, where are you staying?"

"I had Yun Ze book a hotel for me near campus ahead of time."

"..."

Shen Nian felt a little exasperated. ’So he really did have everything planned out. And here I was, so worried just a moment ago!’

"You silly fool, coming all this way just to see me for a moment. Was it worth it?"

"So, will you stay with me?"

"Huh?"

Shen Nian’s eyes widened as she stared at him. ’Did he mean what I think he means?’

"Before I came, I thought it would be worth it even if I could only see you for a moment. But now that I’ve seen you, I don’t want to let you go back."

As he spoke, he squeezed her hands tightly, as if to prove he meant every word.

"But, in the dorm, they’re still..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Nian was cut off by Lu Cheng.

"Stay with me?"

Those three little words made her defenses crumble, and she lost all will to refuse.

"Mm."

Shen Nian nodded at Lu Cheng. Of course she didn’t want to let him stay in a hotel all by himself.

"But you have to let me go tell my roommates, so they don’t worry."
