Chapter 150: Whispers Under the Covers

A blanket separated them in the middle.

Yet Han Wenwen edged closer.

She pressed her face near him, her eyes silently complaining that the two blankets were such a bother.

“Brother Zheng Ran, what do you think?”

It’s all because these blankets keep us apart.

Lin Zheng Ran had no real way to handle this little fox spirit.

So, he temporarily lifted the covers: “Come here, but behave yourself.”

“Okay.”

The little fox’s pitiful look shifted to joy as she quickly darted into Lin Zheng Ran’s covers.

Though she wore a sweater and silk stockings, being held in Lin Zheng Ran’s arms made her content.

The little fox felt perfectly satisfied.

Feeling the warmth in Lin Zheng Ran’s embrace, she smiled and said, “Brother Zheng Ran’s covers are so much warmer than mine, and his body is too.”

She rested her face against his chest, her arms wrapping around his back.

She even unconsciously wrapped her legs around his.

Lin Zheng Ran stroked her long hair, sensing how the little fox burrowed deeper into his arms.

This time, Han Wenwen stayed honest and didn’t do anything more; she felt shy and after a while, whispered with a blush, “Can I stay in this cover all night? Can I not go back? Mine’s so cold.”

Lin Zheng Ran slowed his hand on her head: “It’s not even winter yet. Why are you cold?”

“I just am. Girls naturally run cold. Please, master?”

Lin Zheng Ran sighed, glancing at the faint light through the curtains: “If you keep being this well-behaved, you can.”

Han Wenwen smiled and tilted her head up to look at him.

Lin Zheng Ran noticed her gaze and asked, “Is there something else?”

Han Wenwen shook her head: “No, I just want to say… Am I truly one-of-a-kind in your heart, Brother Zheng Ran? I didn’t see your eyes clearly earlier, and now I want to stare into them while you say it again.”

Lin Zheng Ran met her eyes and repeated, “It’s true. In my heart, you’re one-of-a-kind, a very special existence.”

Han Wenwen’s eyes lit up with delight, her charming allure growing stronger than ever.

And she had seen it clearly before; now she just wanted to hear it again.

“In the next life, remember to find me sooner, Brother Zheng Ran. I’ll always be with you, forever following you.”

She kissed his cheek quickly, then buried her face in his chest to dodge any fallout: “That doesn’t count as misbehaving! I’m not saying anything else. I just want to sleep comfortably in your arms. Goodnight!”

“Goodnight.” Lin Zheng Ran stopped stroking her head; he had to admit, this little fox smelled amazing.

Once she was here, it was all her scent.

The rest of the night was quieter than expected. Han Wenwen fell asleep and dreamed of her childhood, where Lin Zheng Ran had found her early.

In her dream, he was with her at kindergarten, holding her hand as she grew up, playing games, helping with studies, and comforting her after Mom left, staying by her side like childhood sweethearts right up to today.

On Sunday, after Han Wenwen and Lin Zheng Ran woke up, they planned to continue exploring the places they hadn’t finished yesterday.

There were still over ninety spots left.

But Han Wenwen insisted on staying in Lin Zheng Ran’s arms and refused to get up.

Even when Lin Zheng Ran tried to rise, she wouldn’t let him, whining and acting cute to keep him in bed.

Because once he got up, she knew she’d lose this cozy spot.

Lin Zheng Ran asked, “Aren’t you hungry?”

“Not at all! You’re not getting up no matter what! Weekends are for lounging in bed! If you’re hungry, I’ll get you food, but you eat it here and stay put! Just no getting up!”

The two chatted aimlessly, jumping from topic to topic, all while staying under the covers.

They lazed around until past 2 PM, and only then did Han Wenwen reluctantly crawl out, looking unhappy. After a quick tidy-up and lunch, they headed back to school by car.

A week later, the New Star List officially ended, with Lily taking first place without question.

She completely crushed the second-place score, so Jiang Jingshi planned to capitalize on Lily’s popularity and build a dedicated team for her.

They’d shoot several music videos and release new songs.

And promote it heavily.
