Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

Qiao Yu's hands tightly grasped the snow-white bed sheet, and the smooth bed sheet was wrinkled by his force.

Gu Ling held the back of his neck with one hand and pinched his chin with the other, and the kiss moved from the corner of his eyes to his lips.

Qiao Yu widened his eyes slightly, his fingertips turned white from the force, the heat began to spread from his lips, first dyeing his face red, then his ears and neck were dyed the same color.

Because he tilted his head back, the movement of his Adam's apple was extremely obvious, but Gu Ling could only see his eyes.

Those eyes, which usually seemed gentle, smiling and unhurried, were now stained with water stains, like the distant mountains shrouded in mist after a spring rain.

It's hazy and not very real, which makes people feel itchy for no reason.

It was a short kiss, but it touched the hearts of two people for a long time.

……

It was common for Gu Ling to be hospitalized. She didn't like the snow-white walls of the hospital and the smell of disinfectant in the air, and she always wanted to go home.

But it was obviously not possible for her to be the only one who agreed to go home.

Regarding this matter, if you ask who is in favor and who is against, a lot of people will stand up and vote against: doctors, nurses, Gu Hai, and Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu picked up Gu Ling who had secretly run out of the ward. With his strong arms, he carried the runaway sick young lady into the ward steadily and powerfully.

Just as he was about to stand up straight, Gu Ling tightened his arms around his neck slightly, and their breathing intertwined.

When he saw Qiao Yu's eyes filled with mist again, Gu Ling let go of him and said in a bewitching voice: "Qiao Yu, I want to be discharged from the hospital."

Qiao Yu pecked her lips lightly, asking for another kiss, and then Gu Ling heard two words: "No."

Even this won't work? Qiao Yu is quite determined.

Qiao Yu almost agreed, but fortunately he came to his senses at the last moment and rejected Gu Ling's request to be discharged from the hospital with great difficulty.

"Studio Terms..."

Qiao Yu took over Gu Ling's unfinished words: "Rule 4: Qiao Yu cannot force Gu Ling to do something he doesn't like."

He squatted in front of Gu Ling and took off Gu Ling's shoes: "I accept the punishment. Then, can you rest obediently?"

Gu Ling thought about it and it seemed that the punishment for the fourth item was to make Qiao Yu walk to East Lake Park.

How could this be possible? How could he go to Donghu Park alone?

"The punishment has changed." Gu Ling said, "I'm going to live in your house."

This isn't really a punishment, is it? But as long as the young lady is happy.

"If you get better, I will take you to my house." As Qiao Yu spoke, his ears turned red. Does this count as living together?

In the following days, Gu Ling was indeed much more well-behaved. After being discharged from the hospital, he went straight to Qiao Yu's home.

Qiao Yu's home is full of artistic atmosphere. There are some paintings he drew himself hanging on the walls, and the warm-toned decoration gives people a very comfortable feeling.

The originally messy room was tidied up neatly, with a few dolls placed on the sofa and pairs of toiletries in the bathroom.

Long before Gu Ling said he was coming here, Qiao Yu had already done a thorough cleaning of the room and was looking forward to the arrival of another person every day.

Gu Ling sat down on the sofa and looked at the doll: "Do you like dolls?"

He was talking about a doll, but Qiao Yu looked at Gu Ling and said two words: "I like it."

"What about you? Do you like it?"

I don't know if it's a doll or a person.

Gu Ling was as straightforward as ever: "Qiao Yu, I like you."

Qiao Yu smiled, bent down and looked at Gu Ling: "Why are you still calling me Qiao Yu? Can't you be more intimate?"

Gu Ling tilted his head and thought: "Oh, then I should call you Xiao Yu'er?"

"No, that title doesn't suit me at all."

"Well, then I'll call you Qiao Qiao." There was a hint of mischief in her eyes. It was rare that Gu Ling could actually make a joke.

Qiao Yu was not in a hurry and acknowledged her with a smile: "My name is Qiao Qiao and your name is Ling Ling, not bad, we are a good match."

Gu Ling held Qiao Yu's face with both hands and said seriously: "Qiao Yu, you are so childish."

"Childish Qiao Yu is going to cook for you. Ling Ling can watch TV for a while."

Qiao Yu went to the kitchen and turned on the TV for Gu Ling before leaving. He also put some fruits on the table.

Gu Ling stared at the TV, glancing towards the kitchen from time to time. Seeing that Qiao Yu always had his back to the door, she moved her butt towards one end of the sofa.

She moved closer to the doll on the other end of the sofa, and used the hand on her knee to stealthily touch the doll.

Feeling the furry and soft touch on his fingertips, Gu Ling's expression became even more serious.

There is a reason why Qiao Yu likes dolls.

Well, for Qiao Yu's sake, she would reluctantly hold the doll.

She glanced toward the kitchen again, then quickly gathered the doll into her arms.

When Qiao Yu came out after cooking, Gu Ling was already waiting at the dining table.

He glanced at the sofa and found that the five or six dolls on it were moved from their original positions, and he couldn't help laughing.

Gu Ling asked: "What are you laughing at?"

Qiao Yu replied: "Because I'm happy."

Gu Ling blinked, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Qiao Qiao is happy, Ling Ling is happy too, that’s great.

……

At night, Qiao Yu successfully accomplished the feat of sleeping in the same room with others by using the excuse that his room was a single room and there was no extra bed.

When he came to the bedroom, he emphasized that his bed was very big and his sleeping posture was very correct, thus completing his small goal of sleeping in the same bed.

This bed is really big and can easily accommodate four people.

Qiao Yu no longer had the energy he had to persuade Gu Ling to sleep with him. There was a huge distance between the two of them. He lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, not daring to move at all.

The lights were turned off and the room was pitch black. After losing vision, other senses were infinitely magnified.

Qiao Yu was lying on the bed. He could smell the faint scent of shower gel on Gu Ling's body and hear Gu Ling's light breathing.

Even at such a long distance, he could still feel the warmth coming from Gu Ling.

Wait! It doesn’t seem to be an illusion!

Qiao Yu's body was stiff and he dared not move. The familiar fragrance became stronger and the breath of another person was close at hand. Then he felt someone hugged his waist.

Gu Ling hugged Qiao Yu, tilted his head and put his ear close to his chest: "Qiao Qiao, your heartbeat is a bit loud."

Qiao Yu was nervous: "Sorry, it didn't listen to me and couldn't stop."

Gu Ling was amused by him, and the air flow passed through Qiao Yu's chest, causing him to tremble.

At this time, what he was thinking was: What a pity, I didn’t see Gu Ling’s smiling face.

"You will die if your heart stops, stupid Jojo."

Gu Ling changed her posture and held Qiao Yu in her arms in a strong manner. She gently pressed Qiao Yu's ear close to her chest.

"Your heartbeat is too loud. You should listen to my heartbeat."

Gu Ling's heartbeat was steady and weak, and Qiao Yu had to pay close attention to hear it.

And this weak heartbeat might suddenly stop one day, catching him off guard.

He didn't want to hear the faint sound of his heartbeat. He wanted this heart to be beating vigorously and for a long time.

Silent tears flowed down the corners of his eyes and soaked Gu Ling's clothes. He choked up a little: "Gu Ling, Ling Ling, I want to be able to hear your heartbeat for the rest of my life."

Gu Ling kissed Qiao Yu on the forehead.

Stupid Qiao Qiao, his heart won’t listen to its master, and Gu Ling’s heart won’t listen to its master either.

"Good night, Qiao Qiao."

Gu Ling did not make any promises and just said good night to him.

In the darkness, a gentle voice sounded: "Ling Ling, good night. And——"

"See you tomorrow."

……

Gu Ling stayed there for half a year. She would occasionally return home and have a brief conversation with Gu Hai, and then the two of them would soon part again without saying a word.

Gu Ling has been working hard to cultivate his demonic powers, so his health has been good over the past six months and he has seldom been to the hospital.

After touring the city, Gu Ling and Qiao Yu decided to go traveling.

Considering Gu Ling's health, this was a very long journey. They would stay in each place for a few months and would only continue on their journey after making sure that Gu Ling was in good health.

The first stop for the two was Lancheng, an ancient city full of history.

As soon as you enter, the heavy sense of history hits you along with the walls made of mottled boulders. The prosperity of the big city disappears in an instant, and it seems as if you have stepped into an ancient city.

The two rented an apartment here, planning to rest for a few days before beginning to appreciate the scenery of Lancheng.

It was not accidental that he chose Lancheng as the first stop, because Qiao Yu knew that there was a very popular temple here.

He wanted to go and take a look.
