Chuxia Lin hadn't expected him to suddenly address her that way, so she looked back in surprise at the boy crouched on the ground, taking in all his nervousness.
She paused for a moment and then said softly, "Sure."
...
Winter days get dark early, and by the time Chuxia Lin returned home, the sky was completely black.
In the living room, Gu Yuheng lounged on the sofa, cradling a cup of goji berry tea in his hand, slowly sipping it.
Chuxia Lin briefly explained why she had come back so late, although Yuheng had already received the news from Gu Ji before that.
However, even though he already knew, he was still happy to hear it from her. Yuheng listened patiently as she finished explaining, then smiled and gestured for her to come sit by him: "Come, sit over here."
Chuxia obeyed and was just about to sit down when Yuheng suddenly reached out to wrap his arm around her waist and effortlessly lifted her onto his lap.
