Gu Yingzhou stroked her head and said calmly, "In the future, no matter what it is, I hope you respect your own feelings, do whatever makes you comfortable..."
Before he could finish, Lin Tang hooked her arm around his, resting her head on his shoulder.
"...I know."
She had long known that Gu Yingzhou shared her values, but his words still made her feel as if a spring breeze had caressed her heart.
Gu Yingzhou turned his head to look at her, choosing not to speak anymore, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.
The charcoal fire burned in the room, its temperature a stark contrast to the outside.
Dressed in a sweater, Lin Tang quickly grew warm.
Feeling sweat on her back, she sat up straight and patted Gu Yingzhou's shoulder.
"I'm sweating, I want to take a bath."
Gu Yingzhou stood up, "I'll go prepare the hot water; if you're tired, lie down for a while, and I'll call you when it's ready."
