TVSFPAG -Chapter 37 Confirmed It’s Definitely True Love

While she was still in the midst of an inner struggle, Chu Jinhan suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked up at her.

He saw the panic and uncertainty in her eyes.

“Are you afraid?” he asked in a low voice.

Song Yunfei bit her lip and nodded. Regardless of what kind of fear it was, she was indeed very afraid right now.

Chu Jinhan fell silent for a moment, then let go of her, got out of bed, and turned toward the bathroom.

“Go to sleep.”

Song Yunfei quickly grabbed him, her face red as she explained, “You… I… I’m just not ready yet.”

Her mind was in complete chaos, but what she said was the truth—she still didn’t have the courage to face the ending described in the book.

Once they crossed that line, wouldn’t she just be following the original heroine’s path?

At the very least, at least when she had no money in her pocket, she was truly afraid—so afraid she wouldn’t even know where to run if things went wrong.

Chu Jinhan turned his head to look at her, his expression already returned to normal.

He said calmly, “I understand. Being together doesn’t mean you have to prove something through that kind of thing.”

Song Yunfei froze slightly. He was surprisingly open-minded.

Before she could say anything, he had already gone into the bathroom.

Song Yunfei hurriedly got dressed as well, clutching her pounding heart, lying under the blanket with restless thoughts.

After he finished showering and came out, he didn’t come to the bed but went to the sofa instead.

After turning off the lights, the bedroom fell into complete darkness.

Song Yunfei looked toward the sofa, but it was too dark to see him.

Still, she asked, “Are you angry?”

After a two-second pause, the man’s voice came from the darkness: “No.”

His tone was flat, similar to usual, and Song Yunfei couldn’t tell whether he was telling the truth.

She was about to ask more when her phone suddenly rang twice—someone had sent her a message.

Song Yunfei picked up her phone and checked it. The sender’s name was marked as “Bai Yu.”

[How is he?]

It was just a few simple words, but Song Yunfei immediately remembered who this was.

This was also a villain—originally the heroine’s admirer, and a doctor.

Previously, when the original heroine had hit Chu Jinhan, she had gone to this Bai Yu for a checkup, and asked him to keep it a secret.

And he really did keep it for her.

Moreover, in the original story, he had helped the heroine do quite a lot of bad things, and his ending wasn’t any better than Song Yunfei’s.

Truly, unquestionable “true love.”

Looking at the message, Song Yunfei didn’t know how to reply. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to just pretend she hadn’t seen it.

With this little interruption, Song Yunfei couldn’t fall asleep that night.

She tossed and turned until almost dawn before finally drifting off in a daze.

By the time she woke up the next day, it was already close to noon.

She suddenly sat up in a hurry. The curtains in the room were drawn, making it hard to tell whether it was day or night.

She grabbed her phone and checked the time—11:30.

Looking toward the sofa, it was already empty.

Song Yunfei scratched her hair, somewhat annoyed. How did she oversleep? And why didn’t Chu Jinhan wake her up?

She casually got ready to go out, but Chu Jinhan sent her a message.

He told her to stay at the hotel and order takeout for lunch herself.

Song Yunfei slowly sat back down. Looking at the bright sun outside, she decided not to go out after all.

It probably wouldn’t be such a coincidence to run into something like what happened yesterday again.

Since she hadn’t slept well last night, she ended up taking another nap in the room—and this time, she slept all the way until evening.

Chu Jinhan came back early that day, returning to the hotel around seven, and even brought takeout with him.

He walked over to the table on his own and took out the food, arranging it neatly.

Song Yunfei wasn’t sure if it was for her, so she hesitated and didn’t go over.

After setting everything up, Chu Jinhan finally turned to look at her. “Come eat.”

Song Yunfei responded with an “oh” and walked over slowly, sitting down across from him at the small table.

She asked tentatively, “You didn’t eat with Mr. He and the others?”

“No. They’re still at the exhibition hall. I came back first.”

“Why?”

Chu Jinhan glanced at her but didn’t answer. He opened the food container and handed her a portion. “Eat. It’ll get cold soon.”

Song Yunfei replied softly, “Oh.”

She ate absentmindedly, occasionally glancing at the man across from her out of the corner of her eye.

Thinking about what happened last night, her cheeks began to warm uncontrollably.

At this moment, the two of them seemed no different from usual, but she couldn’t shake the awkward atmosphere between them.

“Um… I thought about it carefully today. If we buy a house, we can go through our own store—I’ll also get a commission.”

Chu Jinhan paused slightly. “Why the sudden change of mind?”

Song Yunfei said, “It’s not that I didn’t want to buy it. Last night I just felt houses were too expensive and wanted to wait until things were more stable. Who knew you’d misunderstand.”

Chu Jinhan fell silent.

Song Yunfei continued, “Also, Qingcheng isn’t the best place. If we’re settling down somewhere, we should pick somewhere with nice scenery.”

This time Chu Jinhan did respond. “Where do you want to go?”

“I’m not sure. But if you want to stay in Qingcheng, buying a house here is fine too.”

She spoke very seriously, but in truth she just wanted to dissuade him from buying a house. Otherwise, even if she got through this time, what if he earned money again and still wanted to buy one next time?

Sure enough, after thinking for a moment, Chu Jinhan said, “Then let’s not buy for now. Let’s buy a car instead—it’ll make it more convenient for you to get to work.”

Song Yunfei nodded vigorously. “This works!”

Chu Jinhan didn’t say anything further, and the two of them continued eating in silence.

Song Yunfei pretended to ask casually, “Did anything else happen at the venue today?”

“No. There were fewer orders than yesterday.”

To be precise, there were almost no orders today.

Yesterday’s surge in orders was due to the influence brought by Li Zhe. Now that Li Zhe wasn’t there, those who had already placed orders wouldn’t place them again, and new visitors didn’t know about their company’s strength. Having no orders was normal.

However, overall, this exhibition had still been very fruitful—they hadn’t come in vain. Mr. He wouldn’t have to worry about orders for the next year.

Moreover, Manager Song planned to return tomorrow and only leave Wang Qiang and Hu Yao behind.

Hearing this, Song Yunfei let out a huge sigh of relief. “So we can go back tomorrow morning?”

“Mm. Do you want to go out and walk around again later?”

“Sure.”

After finishing their meal, the two of them left the hotel. It wasn’t fully dark yet, and it was still quite hot.

They went to a pet shop to check on the little stray dog. The owner had taken good care of it—it wagged its tail happily at anyone who approached.

Then, under the shop owner’s persuasion, Song Yunfei couldn’t resist buying two bags of dog food.

“We still haven’t given it a name. What should we call it?” Song Yunfei asked, holding the puppy and turning to Chu Jinhan.

Chu Jinhan looked at the dog. “No idea.”

“This is the one you won. You should at least think of something.”

Chu Jinhan stared at the puppy’s yellow fur for a while, then said without hesitation, “Little Yellow.”

“…Isn’t that too casual?” Song Yunfei twitched her lips, suspecting he hadn’t taken it seriously at all.

After thinking for a moment, she slowly said, “Since it was won from a ring toss, how about ‘TaoTao’?”

Chu Jinhan looked at her silently, his gaze somewhat meaningful.

Song Yunfei suddenly realized something. Thinking of what the name sounded like, her face flushed red.
