In the bustling city center, in a high-rise office, the lights remained bright, revealing an atmosphere of overtime work. Bai Huaiyu and Jiang Nanjin sat together, their desk piled high with manuscript papers and drawing boards, both focused on their tasks. Time had already slipped deep into the night, yet there was no sign of fatigue on their faces.
Bai Huaiyu stared intently at the screen, occasionally tapping the keyboard, her slender fingers dancing across it, producing soft clicking sounds. Her face bore a concentrated expression; she would furrow her brows in thought and then suddenly break into a knowing smile. That blend of focus and charm made it hard not to steal a few extra glances at her.
Jiang NanJin held a pen and freely sketched on the drawing board. His brows were furrowed, fully absorbed in his creation. His unique style featured smooth lines, each stroke revealing his understanding of art and pursuit of detail. Occasionally, he would pause to gaze at the night scene outside the window, seemingly seeking more inspiration.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the office became increasingly tense and weary. Neither of them spoke, only the sound of work echoed in the empty office.
Suddenly, Jiang NanJin stopped writing and turned around, gazing at Bai Huaiyu's serious profile as he worked. On this quiet night, a wave of unprecedented tenderness surged within him. He watched Bai Huaiyu's adorable expression as he occasionally furrowed his brows, feeling a stirring in his heart that he had never experienced before.
After a long while, Jiang NanJin finally broke the silence. "Bai Huaiyu," he said, his voice deep and magnetic, carrying a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.
Bai Huaiyu raised her head at the sound, looking at Jiang NanJin with some surprise. She softly asked, "What's wrong? You seem a bit off."
Jiang NanJin took a deep breath, his eyes filled with complex emotions. It was as if, in that moment, all his pretenses and sharp tongue had been cast aside, leaving only his truest self. "I want to talk to you about something concerning myself," he said, his voice low and serious, revealing an unprecedented solemnity.
Bai Huaiyu sensed something unusual in Jiang NanJin's words. She furrowed her brow slightly, a sense of doubt rising within her, but she nodded to indicate for him to continue speaking.
Jiang NanJin fell silent for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts, and then slowly began to speak: "In the past, I experienced a deeply impactful relationship that left me scarred. Since then, I lost faith in loving someone. I thought I would forever close my heart and no longer easily believe in love." At this point, his voice carried a hint of sadness and helplessness.
Bai Huaiyu listened, her eyes filled with concern as she softly said, "Jiang NanJin, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize you had gone through such things in the past."
Jiang NanJin smiled faintly, but it was a bittersweet smile. "It's okay; that's all in the past now. But what I want to tell you is that ever since I met you, my state of mind has slowly changed. Your optimism, your positivity, your kindness, and the way you work with such seriousness yet remain so charming have made me feel very comfortable and warm. I've found myself gradually drawn to you, starting to look forward to the time we spend together each day. You have made me feel the beauty of being moved once again." His voice was filled with sincerity, and each word seemed to carry great weight.
Hearing this, Bai Huaiyu was stunned. Her heart suddenly raced, and a blush crept onto her face without her realizing it. She had never imagined that Jiang NanJin would have such feelings for her. This sudden confession caught her off guard, leaving her unsure of how to respond.
At that moment, Jiang NanJin slowly leaned closer to her, his eyes filled with tenderness and anticipation. He softly said, "Bai Huaiyu, I don't know what the future holds, but I hope to walk this path with you. I want to believe in the person I love again and be willing to give the same love in return, rather than being perfunctory, using someone, or being selfish for greedy purposes. Will you be with me?" As he spoke, his face drew nearer, as if waiting for her answer.
Ripples stirred in Bai Huaiyu's heart, and at that moment, her emotional walls began to slowly crumble. She looked at Jiang NanJin's handsome face, feeling a mix of surprise and shyness, but more than anything, she felt an unprecedented sense of security. Taking a deep breath, she finally mustered the courage to softly reply, "I... I am willing."
These words seemed to open a door. Surprise flashed in Jiang NanJin's eyes, and without hesitation, he kissed Bai Huaiyu's soft, sweet lips. This kiss was both a question and a confirmation, filled with all his emotions—intense, tender, and urgent.
Bai Huaiyu's eyes widened in surprise at the sudden kiss, leaving her somewhat flustered. However, she quickly closed her eyes and surrendered to the wave of emotion. Her hand gently rested on Jiang NanJin's shoulder, responding to his kiss, her heart filled with shyness.
Jiang NanJin's kiss deepened gradually, a mix of kissing and nibbling, as if he wanted to pour all his love into her. All hesitation and anxiety vanished, while Bai Huaiyu shyly endured his passionate and tender kiss, occasionally letting out soft whimpers. Jiang NanJin's arms wrapped tightly around Bai Huaiyu's waist, pulling her closer into his embrace. Their breaths intertwined, and their heartbeats seemed to sync. In the quiet of the deep night, their figures clung closely together, as if they were becoming one. Outside, the city remained busy, but within this small office, it was filled with passion and sweetness.
As the night deepened, after sharing a kiss, the two of them breathed heavily, gazing intently at each other. They soon noticed that their clothes were somewhat disheveled and couldn't help but laugh as they tidied each other up. Once they finally got themselves sorted, they left the office together.
On the dimly lit streets, car lights flickered and a gentle night breeze blew. Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin walked side by side, their hearts filled with joy like the twinkling stars in the night sky, illuminating their faces. Although they had just weathered an emotional storm, the air around them was now filled with sweetness and warmth.
Jiang NanJin suddenly stopped, turned to Bai Huaiyu, and lazily smiled, "Huaiyu, you won't just remember my kiss from that moment, will you? Don't forget that there's a draft to be submitted tomorrow." His voice carried a teasing tone, but his eyes were filled with tenderness.
Bai Huaiyu was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter. Her laughter was crisp and pleasant, like wind chimes in the night, gently stirring the heart. She pretended to be angry as she tapped Jiang NanJin's shoulder and muttered, "Can't you take the initiative to submit your work? Why do I always have to remind you? You're always so sharp-tongued." As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh again, her smile soft and sweet.
Jiang NanJin wrapped his arm around her shoulder and gently said, "Silly girl, isn't this me caring for you? But since you've promised me, I have to take good care of you, including reminding you about work." His tone was relaxed, yet every word seemed to carry his deep affection for Bai Huaiyu.
Bai Huaiyu nestled in Jiang NanJin's embrace, feeling a warm surge in her heart. She softly replied, "Thank you, Jiang NanJin. I'm so glad to have met you; you've made my world different."
The two continued to stroll along the street as the night deepened. They passed by a 24-hour bookstore, where warm orange light spilled out from inside, illuminating their path. Bai Huaiyu's eyes lit up as she grabbed Jiang NanJin's hand and said, "Let's go in and take a look. I want to see if there are any new comics."
Jiang NanJin was inspired by her enthusiasm and nodded in agreement. They entered the bookstore, where the warm lighting and the rich scent of books greeted them, lifting their spirits. Bai Huaiyu excitedly darted between the shelves like a child, occasionally picking up a book to examine it closely. Jiang NanJin quietly watched her from the side, his eyes filled with affection.
After selecting a few books, Bai Huaiyu excitedly walked over to Jiang NanJin, showcasing her haul. Jiang NanJin smiled slightly, reached out to pat her head, and teased, "Are you planning to buy the whole bookstore to take home?"
Bai Huaiyu stuck out her tongue and replied with a laugh, "This is our shared passion; how can we miss out on good books?" After saying that, she took Jiang NanJin's hand, ready to check out and leave.
At the checkout, Jiang NanJin took out his wallet and gently said to Bai Huaiyu, "Let me take care of this this time, consider it a small gift for you." Bai Huaiyu wanted to decline but was ultimately moved by Jiang NanJin's insistence and allowed him to pay.
Leaving the bookstore, the two of them each held a few new books in their hands as they walked home. The journey seemed longer than usual, but for them, it was a pleasant and beautiful moment.
As they walked, Bai Huaiyu suddenly stopped, hesitating as she looked at Jiang NanJin. She softly asked, "What you said earlier, is it true? Are you really willing to be with me, no matter what the future holds?" There was a hint of uncertainty in her voice.
Jiang NanJin paused and looked at her seriously, his gaze firm. He reached out and gently caressed Bai Huaiyu's cheek, saying in a low voice, "Of course it's true, Huaiyu. I want to be with you, whether it's through storms or sunshine. I hope we can walk hand in hand through every day together, no matter if the path ahead is smooth or rugged." With that, he pulled her tightly into his embrace, as if he wanted to convey all his warmth to her.
Hearing these words, the unease and doubts in Bai Huaiyu's heart dissipated like mushrooms after rain. She tightly embraced Jiang NanJin, burying her face in his chest, feeling his heartbeat and warmth.
On the street late at night, the two figures embraced under the streetlight, casting long shadows. For both of them, this would be a night they would never forget; it marked the deepening of their relationship and foreshadowed the beginning of their future together.
