As soon as they were safe, Ye Que still hadn't undone the ropes around him when Chi Zaozao hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to bury herself deep into his body.
Ye Que's motion to untie the knots paused, and he gently wrapped his hands around Chi Zaozao's slender waist instead.
"Didn't scare you, did it?" Ye Que whispered softly in her ear.
Chi Zaozao nodded vigorously, "Mmm, I wasn't scared. I just like holding you like this, husband. From now on, when I hold you like this, please don't push me away again, okay? You said that after I graduate from college we would get married. You also said you'd make me the happiest person in the world. A man's word is his bond, so I'll take that as a promise from you. You can't go back on it, understand?"
