TVSFPAG -Chapter 117 I Want to Look at You

He kissed her very seriously, and his technique was also getting better and better.

His warm breath brushed across her cheek. In just a moment, Song Yunfei lost her ability to think, completely enveloped by his presence.

Song Yunfei felt that he had taken quite a blow today, as even this kiss carried a hint of unease.

She closed her eyes and hugged the man’s neck.

The man’s body paused slightly. Then the hand resting at her waist slowly moved upward, threading through her loose hair, supporting the back of her head, and deepening the kiss.

Before she realized it, only the bedside lamp remained on in the room.

But it was still too bright. Song Yunfei reached out to turn it off, only for him to grab her wrist.

“I want to look at you.”

Song Yunfei looked into those deep, turbulent eyes above her. Her cheeks felt like they were on fire, the flush spreading all the way to her ears.

Just as she was about to speak, her lips were sealed again in the next second, all her words blocked back.

Her hands were restrained by him. Song Yunfei kept her eyes tightly shut, not daring to open them. At that moment, she truly understood what it meant to cover one’s ears while stealing a bell.

—

The next day.

Song Yunfei was awakened by a tempting aroma. She opened her eyes groggily and caught a blurry glimpse of a figure not far away.

She sniffed—the smell of breakfast.

She closed her eyes again, taking a moment to recover.

Unable to resist the scent of breakfast, she opened her eyes once more and struggled to get out of bed.

She searched for her clothes on the bed and found them on the bedside cabinet.

Since she hadn’t brought sleepwear, she had to use a shirt as pajamas.

While buttoning it, she noticed—well, the top two buttons were missing again!

She shot a glare toward the man preparing breakfast over there.

This guy was getting more and more excessive. Last night he said he would help her bathe, but once they got into the bathroom, he ended up “messing around” again.

He even claimed he had learned it from her saved collection, leaving her with no way to argue back.

From now on, she would never believe a single punctuation mark from this man.

Chu Jinhan acted as if he noticed nothing, finishing setting the breakfast and turning to say, “Come eat breakfast.”

Song Yunfei went to the bathroom to wash up and came out afterward.

Sitting at the dining table, she glanced at the man opposite her.

He still had that serious, honest appearance—completely different from the person he was on the bed.

Few words, but full of tricks. In a way, he could still be considered “reliable and capable,” just as Song’s mother had described.

Song Yunfei picked up her bowl, ignored him, and focused on eating her porridge and buns.

“Yunfei.”

Hearing that overly affectionate form of address, Song Yunfei stiffened all over.

She widened her eyes and looked up as if she had seen a ghost. “Are you calling me?”

Chu Jinhan looked at her in confusion. “What’s wrong?”

Song Yunfei put down her bowl and chopsticks, rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, and gave a dry laugh. “Nothing. It just sounds a bit creepy.”

“If you don’t like it, should I call you Cuihua instead?”

“Just call me Yunfei.”

Chu Jinhan fell silent.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Song Yunfei couldn’t help but ask, “What are you going to say?”

Chu Jinhan shook his head slightly. “Nothing. Eat.”

Song Yunfei found him inexplicable and continued eating.

After breakfast, Song Yunfei planned to go to the hospital, but Chu Jinhan pulled her along to a shopping mall instead.

“What are you planning to buy?” Song Yunfei looked at him in confusion.

Chu Jinhan’s expression was somewhat unnatural. “To visit your father, we should buy something.”

Song Yunfei paused, not expecting him to have considered this.

No wonder he had been so restrained yesterday.

Song Yunfei smiled and asked, “Then what do you want to buy?”

Chu Jinhan shook his head. “I’m not sure. What do people usually give here?”

“There aren’t that many rules. Just buy something casually. As long as the intention is there, it’s fine.”

Chu Jinhan thought about it, then went to the gift section of the supermarket and browsed around. It was mostly fruit baskets and milk.

He picked out a fruit basket and a box of milk, and also wanted to buy a bouquet of flowers, but Song Yunfei stopped him.

Flowers would wither after a couple of days, couldn’t be eaten, would be a waste of money, take up space, and would still need to be cleaned up later.

The two of them carried the items and walked toward the hospital. Song Yunfei suddenly thought of something and asked, “Isn’t your factory very busy? If you come here, what about the factory?”

Chu Jinhan replied, “I’m not the only one in the factory.”

Although he was a supervisor, his primary role was still as a salesperson. There were others responsible for workshop management. It was only busy when new batches were launched; otherwise, there wasn’t much going on.

Most of his work involved communicating with clients, which could be handled over the phone—so these past few days, he had been frequently taking calls.

Song Yunfei nodded, feeling a bit more at ease.

If her visit had delayed his work schedule, she would have felt very guilty.

Song Yunfei brought breakfast for Song’s mother, and the three of them sat outside chatting.

Since Song Dashan was being treated in the ICU, they couldn’t go in to visit and could only wait outside.

When Chu Jinhan handed the gift to Song’s mother, she became even more satisfied with him.

He just talked a bit too little—he would answer when asked but rarely initiated conversation.

In their village, someone like that would be called a “silent gourd,” someone not good at sweet talk, and would likely be talked about by others.

“You two should still be working, right? How long are you planning to stay here?” Song’s mother asked again.

Song Yunfei took over the conversation. “We’ll leave once Dad is moved to a general ward. Mom, can you manage taking care of him alone? Should I hire a caregiver for you?”

Song’s mother waved her hands repeatedly. “No need, no need. I can handle it alone. Why would we need so many people? At home, I not only take care of him but also do all the work. This is nothing.”

“Then you should also take care of your health. Don’t overwork yourself.”

Song’s mother said, “You should stop worrying about me. Look at how thin you are—your body might not even be as strong as mine.”

Song Yunfei twitched the corners of her mouth. She really shouldn’t have said that.

“You two should eat properly. Don’t always think about losing weight. What’s so good about being skinny like a bamboo pole?”

What followed was a long stream of nagging, but Song Yunfei listened without feeling annoyed.

It had been a long time since she heard such nagging, and it actually made her feel warm inside.

Later that day, Song Yunfei and Chu Jinhan also went in to visit Song Dashan.

Although he was in the ICU, he appeared to be in good spirits.

After learning that Chu Jinhan was her boyfriend, he naturally subjected him to another round of questioning.

Chu Jinhan repeated everything Song Yunfei had previously said.

Song Dashan didn’t show much joy on his face; instead, he sighed from time to time.

Six out of every ten sentences he spoke expressed concern about the distance.

Compared to Song’s mother, he was still somewhat worried about his daughter marrying so far away.

Song Yunfei sighed inwardly. They were overthinking it—the relationship wouldn’t even reach the point of marriage.

Now that Chu Jinhan knew their childhood sweetheart story was fake, there was no longer any basis for claims like her supporting his education abroad, or even the boyfriend-girlfriend relationship—it was all fabricated.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked nothing and continued pretending to be ignorant.

It was just that his novelty toward her hadn’t worn off yet. Once that faded, he would definitely try to investigate her true background.

At that point, it would be the end for Song Yunfei.

So after returning, she needed to seriously consider making plans to run away.

She also believed that after she left, Chu Jinhan wouldn’t make things difficult for her parents.

After all, in the original story, he had never gone to trouble the two elders.
