The next day, Jiang Shuyi and Wen Yao headed to the airport together.

Because it was an early morning flight, Wen Yao and Jiang Shuyi hadn't actually slept much.

Jiang Shuyi felt like she had barely rested her head on the pillow before Wen Yao woke her up.

She sat up in a flurry, half of her body poking out from under the blanket.

The dazzling room light made her sneeze involuntarily.

She lazily called out Wen Yao's name while hugging the blanket, as if she had completely forgotten how angry she was the night before.

"Put on your underwear." Wen Yao said to Jiang Shuyi with an expressionless face.

Jiang Shuyi turned her head to see Wen Yao, who had changed into a white turtleneck and a camel-colored coat, looking very neat and dignified. Even her posture standing by the window seemed flawless, restrained, and serious.

The Wen Yao of the night and the Wen Yao of the day seemed like two different people to Jiang Shuyi.

Jiang Shuyi watched as Wen Yao meticulously arranged her hair, her throat moving slightly.

Unable to resist, she rolled over and wrapped her arms around Wen Yao's waist, pulling her down and nibbling at the charming mole on Wen Yao's collarbone.

". . ." Wen Yao lost her balance as Jiang Shuyi grabbed her, and she let out a breath, allowing Jiang Shuyi to bite her.

Over the past few days, Wen Yao had come to understand that Jiang Shuyi's way of expressing herself was like that of a single-celled organism, whether in love or hate, she needed to bite a few times to feel satisfied.

Although she didn't quite understand why Jiang Shuyi liked to nibble in that particular spot, getting angry would lead to nibbling there, and being happy also meant nibbling there.

"Have you had enough biting?"

Wen Yao glanced at her, seemingly hoping that Jiang Shuyi would realize her mistake on her own.

"I want more..."

Clearly, Jiang Shuyi was oblivious to her mistake, she just kept making more.

Jiang Shuyi hugged Wen Yao and kissed her, her hands indicating that she not only wanted to nibble on her neck but also wanted to undress her...

"Don't waste time," Wen Yao pointed at the alarm clock on the bedside table, "It's time to get up."

". . ." Jiang Shuyi reluctantly let go of her hand, eventually got out of bed, "Okay."

Watching her get up, Wen Yao added, "Put on your pants."

Jiang Shuyi looked around for her underwear, obediently replying, "Okay."

After freshening up, Jiang Shuyi quickly changed into a loose winter jacket and black jeans, slinging her backpack over her shoulder.

In her bag, she only packed a charger, a few summer clothes, underwear, her wallet, and a travel-sized set of skincare products.

She had always believed that when going out, one shouldn't bring too many things. It was best if everything could fit in one bag, anything else could be bought locally if needed.

Just as she was about to leave after grabbing her boots from the shoe rack, Wen Yao stopped her.

"You forgot this." Wen Yao said, pointing to her bag.

Jiang Shuyi hadn't even asked, "What did I forget?" when she felt a weight on her shoulder, as if an Egyptian stone slab had been added to her bag.

"What did you put in—" Jiang Shuyi turned her head and saw Wen Yao carefully stuffing the rest of her winter break homework into the bag.

Because Jiang Shuyi had been slacking off these past few days, biting Wen Yao after writing a few assignments, she hadn't finished the winter break homework early as Wen Yao had requested, so this was the remaining portion.

". . ." Jiang Shuyi felt the weight of the homework and suddenly lost all strength in her shoulder.

She looked at Wen Yao and said softly, "Isn't it a bit of a downer to bring this?"

"If everyone is playing and I'm the only one doing homework, it'll be awkward. It'll put pressure on everyone, and they won't be able to enjoy themselves..."

Wen Yao didn't mention that Jiang Shuyi was the one who needed the pressure. She also stuffed the last exercise book into Jiang Shuyi's bag.

"I'll keep you company."

". . ."

Jiang Shuyi pouted, not very happy about carrying the load.

"Before leaving, make sure to check the door locks, appliances, and fire prevention measures." Wen Yao continued expressionlessly.

Wen Yao was indeed Wen Yao. Even though their home had good security and the neighborhood was well-equipped, she still liked to ensure everything was absolutely safe.

"Okay..." Jiang Shuyi confirmed with little enthusiasm.

The two of them took a car to the airport. The airport was already bustling with people in the early morning, making it seem like a crowded place no matter the time.

Jiang Shuyi and Wen Yao got off the car. Since there was no traffic on the way, they arrived thirty minutes early, before anyone else.

The large screen in the airport's center was reporting the national weather forecast. Today, the weather in Huan City wasn't great, it was overcast. In contrast, Haishi's high temperature was thirty degrees, warm enough that some people felt it was hot even in short sleeves.

Since Jiang Shuyi hadn't had breakfast, she bought a light meal at the airport restaurant.

When she returned with her food, she noticed Wen Yao sitting at one end of the hall, holding a fragment of a work by an ancient Greek philosopher.

She thought that aside from Wen Yao, there probably weren't many people who would read such books at the airport.

She quickened her pace to walk over but noticed a lot of people looking at Wen Yao.

Although Wen Yao usually had a serious expression, she was the type of person who drew attention no matter where she stood.

Her exquisite and elegant appearance made her unforgettable, and combined with her unique cold yet dignified demeanor, she not only drew attention but also made people hesitate to approach while irresistibly drawn to look back at her.

Often, without saying a word, she could attract a crowd that would pause and glance her way, something Jiang Shuyi had long since gotten used to.

However, today there seemed to be especially many people like that, and the attention made Jiang Shuyi feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Wen Yao."

Jiang Shuyi handed the food to Wen Yao, her eyes glaring at those who were staring at her.

—What are you looking at? Keep staring and I'll pop your eyes out.

But even so, some people still glanced at Wen Yao as they walked by.

Wen Yao reached out for the breakfast, but Jiang Shuyi quickly pulled it behind her back, like a little dog asking for a reward.

"Give me a kiss, and then I'll give it to you."

Wen Yao replied, word for word, "There are people here."

"Just one kiss." Jiang Shuyi leaned against Wen Yao's shoulder and pouted, as if determined to push the issue until she got what she wanted.

Following Jiang Shuyi's gaze, Wen Yao noticed the person who had been staring at her and sighed, suddenly understanding what Jiang Shuyi was thinking.

— Such a child.

Wen Yao felt that Jiang Shuyi didn't need to demand a kiss from her. First of all, there were countless gazes in this world, and if she paid attention to each one, it would never end. Secondly, that person had nothing to do with them, they were just a stranger, and there was no need to care.

However, looking at Jiang Shuyi's eager expression, Wen Yao still couldn't help but lean over and give her a light peck on the cheek.

Like a dragonfly touching the water.

". . ."

Although it was just a peck on the cheek, Jiang Shuyi felt very satisfied. She glanced at the alpha across from them who was watching Wen Yao, and a proud smile appeared on her face.

The person opposite them looked embarrassed and quickly averted their gaze.

". . ." Jiang Shuyi happily shrugged her shoulders.

At that moment, an elderly couple walked past them.

The old woman smiled at their interaction and said something to her partner, who smiled back.

Jiang Shuyi returned the elderly couple's smile, seeing their great relationship, then turned to Wen Yao excitedly and said:

"We should travel more in the future."

Wen Yao lowered her eyelashes slightly and nonchalantly replied, "Mm."

Jiang Shuyi opened the breakfast box and began to eat while continuing to dream about the future, mentioning places she wanted to visit that had appeared in movies, talking about which countries she wanted to take Wen Yao to, where the food was delicious, and where the scenery was beautiful...

Her imagination was boundless, overflowing with thoughts that seemed endless.

". . ."

Wen Yao quietly watched Jiang Shuyi, listening to her endless fantasies without responding.

When someone includes you in their future plans, it's hard not to feel happy.

Even Wen Yao, listening to her, didn't feel unhappy.

But she constantly reminded herself to maintain boundaries, to keep her rationality intact.

Don't take it too seriously, don't let yourself get lost in fleeting emotions, and don't let emotions cloud your judgment...

"Don't you think that sounds good?" Jiang Shuyi smiled and turned to look at Wen Yao, her eyes sparkling.

"Mm." Wen Yao replied casually.
