Back Then, I Adored You

He had been rubbing his lips against hers to kiss her gently. Qin Zhi’ai kissed to the point that her legs became weak. He put his tongue in her mouth when she tried to return his kisses by instinct.

His tongue was warm. When it brushed on her teeth, she could not help but moan. She subconsciously wanted his tongue to dance with hers. Suddenly, something cool from his tongue filled her mouth.

Qin Zhi’ai immediately recovered herself from being aroused. She subconsciously licked whatever it was that Gu Yusheng had passed into her mouth. He then moved his lips away from hers before she could guess what it was. He moved two steps back and kept a distance from her.

Qin Zhi’ai held her hand out and spit out what he’d put into her mouth.

The diamond on the ring reflected brilliant sparkles under the light.

With a glance, she recognized it was the ring she had picked up in the backyard long ago.

Did he plan to give me the ring or the kiss?

Qin Zhi’ai looked up to Gu Yusheng with a shocked look on her face as he casually stood in front of her. The light on his face made him twice as handsome. He looked at her with love and passion and asked slowly and clearly, “Will you marry me?”

Yes. I wanted to marry him 10 years ago when I met him for the first time.

I would love to marry him, even without a wedding gown, a wedding ceremony, or the blessings of friends and family.

Qin Zhi’ai didn’t need to think about the question. She wanted to nod at Gu Yusheng, who asked again before she could, “Will you marry me, to have and to hold, from today forward, through happiness and sorrow, for better or for worse?”

Tears rolled down from Qin Zhi’ai’s eyes.

She nodded hard at Gu Yusheng and, looking like she was afraid he wouldn’t believe her, she said “yes” many times.

Gu Yusheng looked very gentle all of a sudden. He took the ring from her hand and cleaned it with a handkerchief.

After getting down on one knee, he formally held her hand in his and slowly put the ring on her wedding finger.

Qin Zhi’ai turned her palm up to hold Gu Yusheng’s hand and helped him to stand up. She looked up at him and kissed his mouth.

They kissed for a while before he pulled away from her lips a little bit. “Xiao’ai, you need to believe me. I will handle everything on my grandfather’s side.”

Qin Zhi’ai quietly said, “Okay,” and pressed her lips back on his.

This time, he kissed her lips back hard and deep.

It was windy that night, and the trees were rustling as the balloons and ribbons danced.

Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhi’ai lost themselves in their kisses.

Their breath became heavy and, with his hand on her back, he started to massage her through her dress.

His fingers sensed her body temperature rising through her spring clothes. His back tightened as he kissed her harder. The more he kissed her, the more he wanted her. He walked her to the front yard as they remained kissing.
