Chapter 718: Chapter 717: The Childish Young Master Shi (1)
Chuxia was sleeping in a daze when the gentle voice of Che whispered in her ear, making her slightly impatient as she mumbled, "Stop bothering~"
Because she was asleep, her voice was hoarse and soft, entering the ears with a naive charm, and even a tinge of tingling sensation.
However, such a voice would only be emitted when one was sleeping extremely close to someone they were intimately connected with, completely relaxed without any guard or wariness.
With just that sentence, Bai Yixuan understood that some things no longer needed to be spoken aloud.
To speak up would not only add to Chuxia’s troubles, but he also would no longer be able to continue being friends with her afterward.
Suddenly, a crackling sound came from the other end of the phone, Che listened and knew that Bai Yixuan had hung up. He smirked mischievously and immediately stopped calling out to Chuxia.
He hadn’t planned to wake Chuxia up; he just wanted to make Bai Yixuan back off and even stop him from ever confessing his feelings again.
After all, no matter how unconcerned he claimed to be, his heart couldn’t quite assure the same certainty.
At the end of the day, he and Chuxia had just recently made up, their relationship wasn’t that solid yet, and Bai Yixuan had been there for Chuxia during her toughest times, not to mention their childhood bonds from the orphanage.
The thought of Bai Yixuan having known Chuxia before him stirred a slight resentment in his heart. He had believed that he was the first man to enter her life, just like... she was the first woman in his life.
Nevertheless, even if Bai Yixuan had known Chuxia longer, her past, present, and future were still solely his, Che’s.
Che’s dark eyes softened as he gazed upon Chuxia’s face, which flushed with a hint of red from resting against his warm chest. Her thick eyelashes drooped like butterfly wings, her lips parted slightly in an unconscious tease.
Che felt as if a warm bundle was stuffed into his chest, spreading throughout his body. Only those who had undergone great despair could grasp the happiness of this moment.
For this lifetime, he would never let go. For this lifetime, he vowed to stay intertwined with Chuxia.
The light in his eyes softened further. He put down his phone and slowly brought his lips to Chuxia’s reddened lips, kissing her gently, barely disturbing her. Then, he wrapped his arms tightly around her, closed his eyes, and deeply fell asleep.

Che had been in the hospital for a week and was adamant about being discharged, refusing to stay any longer.
Given his young and recovering body, Che had mostly healed in a week, except for a ligament injury in his right foot that still hindered his walking. Chuxia originally wanted him to stay a bit longer until his foot healed completely, but Che, acting decisively, had the discharge processed. By the time she rushed to the hospital after work, he had packed everything and was waiting for her to take him home.
Chuxia stared at him somewhat speechlessly and glanced at his foot, annoyed, "Why are you so eager to be discharged? With your foot like this, who has the time to look after you 24 hours a day at home?"
Che’s lips curled into a light smirk as he gazed into her dark eyes shimmering with light, unapologetically responding, "You!"
He indeed didn’t mind staying in the hospital as long as Chuxia stayed with him, but after just two days, seeing that the nurses took great care of him, she was reassured and went back to work.
