Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

Even though the man wanted to break her peaceful sleep, he controlled himself and let her be. So after some hours, he joined her in bed.

But Luo Lixi couldn\'t sleep. It had been a long time since she had become drunk, moreover the most important thing was, she had yet to brush her teeth.

Because her daily routine wasn\'t fulfilled, her body felt something was odd and her sleep broke in the middle of the night. 

"Umm…" As she glanced around, as usual Sheng Ruming\'s familiar face had greeted her. 

She picked his hand and tried to remove but abruptly he caught her hand.

"What?" 

"I have to go to the washroom." Luo Lixi whispered in a barely audible voice. 

He stared at her face which was frowning. As soon as he let her, she however took her sweet time. With a pace like a snail, she sat and yawned, straightened her shoulders, then rubbed her eyes. 

Because she was wearing a pink soft robe, as soon as she moved, it moved to one side and exposed her skin. 

Sheng Ruming\'s eyes contracted while his lips bent into a smile. He remembered the things she told him before going to the hot spring, also the matter he was most concerned.

His hand tried to touch her but she had already avoided it without knowing and stood up.

"Finish your task and come back… soon." 

Luo Lixi was already in front of the washroom door when she paused. She answered without much thought, "Hmm… I will. Yawn… "

With heavy eyes, she entered and shut the door. On the other hand, Sheng Ruming didn\'t waste any time and sat up on the bed, waiting for her to return. 

"Uh, why did I come here? Ah, remember, to brush… " Her tongue swapped across her mouth and felt somewhat bitter and uncomfortable.

"Ah, where is my brush? Off!" With annoyance she found the necessary thing and started to brush her teeth. 

Sheng Ruming was already restless. He glanced at the clock and saw it was already twenty minutes since she had gone there.

"Hey, Lixi, are you sleeping there? Why is it taking so long?!" The man asked impatiently. He tried to open the door but it was locked.

"Ah, I, I… " Luo Lixi was jolted awake from her trance. Her eyes creased while her teeth bit down hard on the brush. "Two minutes!"

She didn\'t waste anymore time and cleaned herself as fast as she could. 

"Ruming, why are you…" When she walked out, however, the man wasn\'t beside the door. 

"You., what are you doing there?!" Her slightly sober mind tried to make sense as to what he was doing. 

After the man locked the door tightly, he turned around. Luo Lixi\'s eyes twisted when she saw his ambiguous expression.

Without the chance to think properly, Luo Lixi had no choice but to brace herself and try to understand the look he was giving her on her own. 

"Ruming, don\'t stare at me like that. I feel shy… " She covered her face.

"I see you have yet to get sober but it\'s okay." 

Facing Sheng Ruming\'s gaze, Luo Lixi blushed hard. The man had already stepped towards her.

\'Oh no! Oh no! I feel like he is coming to eat me!\' Luo Lixi was lost in thoughts and unconsciously started to fiddle her two forefingers in a rather cute way.

When she noticed he was coming to get her, she started to step back in panic.

Sheng Ruming only watched her panicking face and it was enough to fuel the fire.

"My wife, why are you retreating? Come to me."

But Luo Lixi heavily shook her head. "I won\'t."

The man took a step back and another step back. Finally, Luo Lixi had no place to retreat to and her back hit against the wall.

"Why won\'t you?" Sheng Ruming looked down on her dropping head and lifted her chin and made her eyes fall on him. When he saw his silhouette reflecting on those clear black eyes, a surge of turbulent emotions surged in his heart and mind.

\'Wait, this scene seems a bit familiar!\' Before she could remember where she had seen this, the man cornered Luo Lixi without putting any effort with one hand supporting himself on the wall behind her and the other hand on her chin.

"Well, my bae you have the audacity to get into a trance right now, don\'t you? How bold of you!" The latter became flustered, blushed and hurriedly murmured.

"I am not your bae! It, it sounds so lewd!" After she was done, she pressed her lips tightly as if she made up her mind as if no more extra words would leave her lips.

Sheng Ruming pressed her back with his whole body. Even Though she had been knocked against the wall, she didn\'t protest.

The extremely romantic scene had a problem. The more tense the situation became, the easier it was for her to become distracted because she wasn\'t sobered yet.

Even though her eyes were looking at Sheng Ruming\'s eyes which were full of strong emotions and love, her mind was actually busy thinking about how many people Luo Lixi had witnessed being slammed against the wall in those past ten years.

"If I remember correctly, it was many more in valentine\'s day?" 

At that time, she had seen in the company forum that people were busy arguing to rate them, such as the best posture, the best expressions, the romantic atmosphere, the best perspective and the best looking couple and so on.

\'What about him?\' Her eyelashes flattered as she looked up and down, "Not bad~"

"What are you thinking? Your face even showing your approval… do you like to be pressed down by me?" Sheng Ruming whispered in a hoarse voice beside her ear and bit on it.

At present, in her mind, Sheng Ruming had beaten all those aspects. 

Sheng Ruming was taller than her. The space surrounded by his arm while any path of escape was restricted.
