"What are you doing?" she mumbled.

"Nothing much," Song Che said. "I just wanted to give him a little praise."

Xia Li didn't dodge; she just let him hold her, her eyes looking at him, bright and full of him.

Like the stars outside the window, twinkling.

After a long while, Xia Li suddenly spoke. "Song Che."

"Ah."

You haven't said goodnight yet.

"Good night."

"That's not it."

Song Che was taken aback. "Which one is that?"

Xia Li looked at him, her lips moved slightly, and she took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind. "Goodnight, husband."

Song Che didn't react immediately, "Okay, goodnight."

Xia Li was dissatisfied. "You haven't called yet."

"What are you shouting for?"

"you know."

Song Che looked at her. She looked at him, her eyes bright, her lips pursed, but she couldn't suppress a smile.

He took a deep breath as well, "Goodnight, honey."

Xia Li's eyes lit up instantly. She didn't say anything, but she snuggled into his arms and stayed still. Song Che held her, feeling her heartbeat, which was fast, just as fast as his.

After a while, Xia Li's voice came from his chest, muffled and soft. "Say it again."

"Good night."

"That's not it."

Song Che smiled. "Goodnight, wife."

Xia Li snuggled against him, like a contented cat.

Song Che tightened his arms around her, and she tightened hers too. The two of them hugged each other tightly, neither of them letting go.

"Your heart is beating so fast." Xia Li was full of energy, snuggling under the covers against his chest.

"Hmm, maybe we shouldn't cover ourselves with the blanket, it's so hot right now."

"No, let's cover ourselves with the blanket." Xia Li clutched the blanket. "It's better to be a little warmer."

"I'll turn on the air conditioner." Song Che tried to get up, but was pulled back. "You... what is this..."

"Your heart is beating fast... just because you're hot?" Xia Li asked.

Song Che thought for a moment, "Part of the reason is, and another part is... that my heart is moved by you."

Xia Li was happy, so she let go of him and let him turn on the air conditioner, and also turned off the lights.

When Song Che returned, Xia Li hugged him again and whispered in his ear, "You know what, the second gift of a bad woman..."

Song Che didn't speak because he couldn't. The lights were off, so he didn't know what was happening. He only felt a change in the sensation of the person he was holding. It was delicate skin, and the feeling against his chest was something he had never experienced before.

Xia Li continued softly, "Her second gift, which is also a gift I gave you, that dream... is my betrothal gift to you."

"Because I also feel that offering the world as a dowry is very much in line with Your Highness's style."

"From now on, you're mine. If anyone bullies you, just say my name."

"Song Che, you are the one I've always wanted."

……

The sun and moon revolve, the next morning is the same, the beauty still eats, the world remains the same. The second lesson Xia Li learned was taught by the bad woman: affection is a curse on eternal life, while ruthlessness is a prison for eternal life.

The first lesson Xia Li learned was taught by Song Che.

Judge by actions, not intentions; if we judge by intentions, there are few perfect people in the world.

Xia Li has always been sincere.

But now, she can judge by her actions and her intentions.

She wanted to do it, so she did.

That's all; practice what you preach.

Main text

Subsequent side stories will be released as free chapters or related to the work.

Heartless Dumpling: Sorry, thank you, thank you very much.

The main storyline of Song Che and Xia Li in this book has basically come to an end. I'm sorry that it didn't reach a million words. Actually, the author set up some side stories. Song Buming, who is Song Che's childhood friend, also had a storyline at the beginning, but that would have changed the flavor of the book and deviated from the main storyline. As you can see, I haven't spent much time on the supporting characters. So even if I write more, I only want to continue writing the story of Xia Li and Song Che.

The story of Song Che and Xia Li has basically come to an end. With Xia Li's learning ability, she could have adapted to the modern world long ago. However, their life is not over yet. This book has filled in most of the plot holes, and Song Che and Xia Li have truly opened their hearts to each other and are determined to continue their journey together.

What I want to say is that Xia Li is a very determined person. Once she sets her mind on something, she will do it firmly. That is, I have always wanted to write about her unity of knowledge and action.

Song Che is a normal human being. He can be hypocritical, selfish, and lustful. However, he accepts his hypocrisy and strives to improve himself in Xia Li's direction. Even if he is lustful, he will take responsibility for it and is willing to die for Xia Li, and not only for death.

Whatever the reason for liking someone, whether it's lust at first sight or attraction to their inner qualities, there's no distinction between high and low, and it's even fine if there's no reason at all. As long as you can do what you can and do what you can to like the other person, that's good.

However, the author himself has a problem. The characterization of Xia Li and Song Che deviates from the original, which may make Song Che seem like he is sometimes being cunning and not at all steady.

The author would like to clarify that this is entirely due to the author's own incompetence. You are welcome to criticize the author, but I hope everyone can understand what kind of people they are. They are both very, very good people.

The extra chapters will include [those I've thought of so far].

Extra Chapter: On the Wedding Day, What Will Xia Li Do?

Side Story: Emperor Bruce, Suppressing the Forbidden Kingdom

Bonus Chapter: The Fox King really is the Fox King

Bonus Chapter: Where did Xia Li learn to bang her head?

The important milestones that Song Che and Xia Li experience later will also be shown.

There are also side stories featuring Jiang Shuo, Zhang Hanyu, and others, as well as subsequent arrangements. The author is still thinking about how to fill in the plot holes and write about the characters' endings in the side stories.

At last,

Thank you for your company.

I remember your names, but I won't list them all here. The author didn't write very well later on, and I feel very guilty for hurting your feelings. I feel extremely guilty, so I'm going to have a big meal today and then go to sleep!

If you really want to scold me!

I won't listen!

But the author wishes that you will find your Xia Li.

The person whose eyes are only for you.

The author is foolish and can't think of anything sophisticated, so he just uses a cliché that he often sees on TikTok.

I wish to find one heart to share with you, and stay together until our hair turns white.

Extra Chapter: On the Wedding Day, What Will Xia Li Do?

Song Che finally tidied himself up properly. Since surviving the inhumanly fast-paced high school years, his energy had returned, his back and waist no longer ached, his hair was neatly styled, he changed his clothes, and with his long-standing magical aura, plus his unexpected success in university, winning a lot of awards, and his own ambition, he had inadvertently become famous at university...

Ten thousand words are omitted here.

So, what does it feel like to be surrounded by cute junior girls, arrogant senior girls, and broken young women?

Every day after class, my female classmates would gather around and shower me with concern, and...

All of this is superficial. Song Che discovered that becoming excellent would make him very busy, and his own time would be almost completely taken up.

So what does it feel like to be enveloped by a girl?

Song Che felt pain!

That silver-haired prince in my house can knock on people!

Just like this morning, Song Che hurriedly came out of the lab, and his cute junior sister, who was also in the lab, followed him out. Her voice was sweet and soft, "Brother Che, can we have lunch together today? I brought my ID card and charger."

Song Che hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm in a rush today."

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? My supervisor said there's an experiment to do this afternoon, and it's very important."

"I'm in a rush today." Song Che paused. "It's my wedding day today, are you coming?"

The book in the junior's hand fell to the ground, and she stammered.

"Hehehehe... Marriage?!"

……

After Song Che finished speaking, the junior stood there with her mouth open, like a fish that had been slapped ashore. She took a few breaths and realized that it was better to get back to shore. There was no water on the shore, and she had some difficulty breathing.

"marry?"

She repeated it, her voice drifting back and forth.

"Hmm." Song Che glanced down at his watch. "It's still not too late to rush back now."

If we don't go back soon, Xia Li's wife will beat us to death!

He paused, then added, "If you're not too busy, there'll be plenty of food and drinks."

The junior student dropped another book from her hand, but this time she didn't pick it up.

Nobody said that Senior Song Che has a girlfriend!

Song Che didn't wait for her reply and turned to leave.

The hem of his white lab coat fluttered in the wind as he turned a corner in the lab corridor, nearly bumping into a female senior student walking towards him. He recognized her, but he was in a hurry. She was carrying two cups of coffee, half of which he spilled. She was about to speak, but seeing his expression, she swallowed her words.
