Chapter 16

Fan Binbin's Heart-Fluttering Life After Moving In Together

Fan Binbin understood the unspoken meaning in Zhou Yan's words.

"No," Fan Binbin shook his head in denial.

"Why? You're so pretty, you must have no shortage of suitors, right?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.

"I don't lack suitors," Fan Binbin admitted, "but I don't find them attractive; I don't feel any spark with them!"

Fan Binbin hasn't entered the workforce yet and doesn't know how cruel society can be.

Like other girls on campus, she longed for love.

"What about you? You're so handsome, you must have plenty of girls around you!" Fan Binbin shifted the topic to Zhou Yan.

"There are quite a few, but none of them are my type."

"So what kind of type do you like?" Fan Binbin asked curiously.

"I like pretty girls with good figures, like you," Zhou Yan said sincerely, without any pretense.

"You just know how to take advantage," Fan Binbin said, reaching out his wicked hand again and slapping the other person.

……

That night, the two talked for a long time.

The next morning, the sun shone brightly on the earth, radiating endless light and heat.

Pedestrians hurried along the road, vehicles weaved together, and the sounds of noise and shouts blended together.

Some people had beaming smiles, while others looked distressed.

Some people get into arguments with others over trivial matters, their faces turning red with embarrassment.

People were fighting shirtless on the roadside, entangled together.

Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Zhou Yan's face, while the noise from the street filled his ears.

Zhou Yan opened his eyes and felt a tightness in his chest.

Fan Binbin clung to him like an octopus, completely disregarding her image.

Her right leg was pressed down on Zhou Yan's lower body, her right hand was tightly holding him, and her cheek was pressed against his.

As for the blanket, it had already been kicked into a corner.

Hearing the breathing sounds beside him, Zhou Yan couldn't help but turn his head away.

A delicate face appeared before me, fair and flawless, with handsome features and no blemishes.

For a moment, Zhou Yan was in a daze. How could someone be so beautiful?

Fan Binbin was still fast asleep when his breath turned into a hot breeze that blew over his face, making him feel itchy.

"We can't stay any longer, or we'll make a mistake," Zhou Yan gently lifted Fan Binbin's arm, then pulled her legs out and quietly got off the bed.

Zhou Yan didn't wake Fan Binbin. They went to bed very late last night, so it was good to let the other person get some more sleep.

Zhou Yan went to the washroom to tidy up and then headed to the nearby supermarket.

We've almost run out of food at home and need to replenish it.

Zhou Yan bought some vegetables, meat, and preserved eggs, and cooked preserved egg and lean pork congee for Fan Binbin when she got home.

After having breakfast, Zhou Yan went to the bedroom.

At this moment, Fan Binbin had no regard for his image, sprawled out on his back, showing no restraint in protecting his privacy.

"Binbin, get up and eat," Zhou Yan said, sitting on the edge of the bed and nudging him.

"What time is it?" Fan Binbin asked, somewhat dazed.

"It's ten o'clock," Zhou Yan glanced at the alarm clock—9:57, only three minutes left until ten o'clock.

"It's so late," Fan Binbin also woke up.

"Go wash up first, I bought you a toothbrush," he said, referring to the toothbrush he bought while shopping for groceries at the supermarket.

"Okay," Fan Binbin said without further ado, and immediately went to the bathroom to wash up.

Zhou Yan took this opportunity to serve breakfast.

"Did you make all of this?" Fan Binbin asked with delight as she looked at the breakfast on the table after coming out.

"Yes, the doctor said you can't eat cold or spicy food, and you should drink more porridge. This is something I made especially for you," Zhou Yan nodded. "Eat it quickly, or it will get cold."

Fan Binbin was deeply moved by Zhou Yan's words. Apart from her parents, this was the first person to treat her so well.

Fan Binbin sat next to Zhou Yan, enjoying the congee with preserved egg and lean pork that Zhou Yan had personally cooked for him.

"How is it?" Zhou Yan asked, his eyes full of anticipation.

"It's delicious," Fan Binbin said, giving a thumbs up.

"I'm glad you like it," Zhou Yan said with a smile. "I'll make it for you whenever you want to drink it in the future."

"good!"

Fan Binbin looked at Zhou Yan very gently, then lowered her head.

……

After breakfast, Fan Binbin took Zhou Yan to the landlord's place.

Unfortunately, no one answered the door despite knocking for a long time.

I asked around and found out that the landlord and his wife had gone on a trip out of town and wouldn't be back for the next few days.

"What should we do?" Fan Binbin's face showed great distress.

She never expected to encounter something like this.

"You can continue to stay with me. It will make it easier for me to take care of you," Zhou Yan said, without mentioning the locksmith company.

These days, it's not like the future; locksmith companies aren't so easy to find.

"That's the only way," Fan Binbin said, tacitly avoiding mentioning it.

So for a period of time afterward, Fan Binbin stayed at Zhou Yan's place.

The two began living together.

Fan Binbin naturally discovered Zhou Yan's writing.

"Did you write this?" Fan Binbin looked at "The World's Number One" and "Water Moon Cave" in his hands, his face full of disbelief.

"Hmm," Zhou Yan nodded, "How was it? Not bad, right?"

"It's more than just good; your novel could totally be adapted into a TV series," Fan Binbin exclaimed in amazement.

I never expected Zhou Yan to be not only handsome, but also so talented.

He's practically the perfect boyfriend.

If I miss out on someone as outstanding as him, I'll definitely regret it.

Therefore, we must not let go.

"My dream is to one day adapt them into a TV series, invest in it myself, and star in it myself," Zhou Yan said, revealing his dream.

He wants to invest in his own work, adapt it into a TV series, and bring it to the screen.

"That must cost a lot of money," Fan Binbin said, somewhat shocked. This dream was extraordinary.

"Definitely," Zhou Yan nodded, "That's why I need to work hard to make money now."

"Count me in," Fan Binbin blurted out.

"If you're willing to help me, you can be the female lead in my future works."

"I'll act for free."

"Then it's settled."

The two looked at each other and laughed simultaneously.

Zhou Yan focused his energy on writing "Qin's Moon," which was not easy to write because it involved adaptations.

Fan Binbin was immersed in the world of "The World's Finest", where the characters were all charming and deeply attracted her.

Her favorite role is still "Shangguan Haitang".

Not only because Shangguan Haitang is the female lead, but also because of her personality—beautiful, free-spirited, intelligent, and brave…

Zhou Yan made some changes to "Shangguan Haitang", in which she is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Because she was too beautiful, it brought her a lot of trouble.

So she chose to disguise herself as a man to avoid these troubles.

Fan Binbin fantasized about becoming Shangguan Haitang and roaming the martial arts world, until he saw her die, at which point he couldn't hold back anymore.

"Ah, how did Shangguan Haitang die?" Fan Binbin was very sad.

This is her favorite role.

"Because a dead Shangguan Haitang is more memorable than a living Shangguan Haitang," Zhou Yan had actually considered this question, but after hesitating, he still decided to write Shangguan Haitang to die.

Just like Xiaolongnu and Yin Zhiping, it is precisely because of the unresolved feelings that people can't forget them.
