After being reborn, I sent the entire scumbag woman's family to jail.

Chapter 138 Love is Restraint

"puff--"

Su Zijing finally couldn't hold back and let out a soft laugh.

Xu Ye froze for a moment as he rushed into the bathroom, then slammed the door shut with a "bang," letting out a silent scream.

This is so embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing!

Nearly fifteen minutes later, he washed up and came out of the bathroom with a blank expression.

"So long? Did you go looking for your brain?" Su Zijin asked, amused.

"Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep!"

Xu Ye said angrily, "We have to march in formation tomorrow, and there's a welcome party tonight. Go to sleep!"

Su Zijing tilted her head and asked, "Will you come to see me tomorrow?"

Xu Ye lay on the ground, his head completely covered by the blanket: "...I don't have class tomorrow morning."

Su Zijing's red lips immediately curved slightly upwards.

She lay down and turned off the light.

Her body unconsciously leaned towards Xu Ye.

Right on the edge of the bed.

"Crash..."

A sound arose, like waves crashing against my ears.

That was white noise playing on Xu Ye's phone.

Xu Ye and Su Zijin both have this habit; it seems they can't fall asleep unless there's some noise around them.

Can……

This is the first time I've ever slept in the same room with someone of the opposite sex in such close proximity.

"...Ano."

Su Zijin called out softly from the bed.

They didn't talk much about each other's backgrounds before; they talked more about themselves.

For example, Su Zijin grew up with her grandmother and only returned to her parents' side when she was in junior high school.

Xu Ye grew up with his parents, but they were too busy to spend much time with him.

This is also a major reason why he so longed for love in his past life, and was willing to give up his dignity for Xu Ruowei.

Lack of love.

The feeling of longing for care for more than a decade is something that those who haven't experienced it simply cannot imagine.

"……Um?"

Xu Ye responded softly, but seemed to be falling asleep.

In fact, he was not sleepy at all; in fact, he was even more restless than Su Zijin.

He has no classes or military training tomorrow morning, so he'll be relaxed. Su Zijing, on the other hand, will be participating in the marching formation.

He didn't want to affect the other person, so he pretended to be asleep.

Sure enough, upon hearing his weak reply, Su Zijing didn't speak again and slowly closed her eyes.

In her opinion, both Jiang Jianmin's matter and her father's phone call today must have brought Xu Ye a huge burden, so it was already a good thing that he could fall asleep.

Although she still had so much to say to the other person...

But she didn't want to add any burden to Xu Ye.

Both she and Xu Ye understood that while they could be unrestrained with each other in normal times, they also needed to learn to restrain themselves at appropriate times.

Because love is restraint.

……

The alarm clock rang, shattering the waves.

Su Zijin opened her eyes groggily.

Actually, white noise has long since disappeared; she just had a dream accompanied by the sound of ocean waves.

In her dream, she was walking barefoot on the beach, with A-Ye beside her.

He held his own hand, and the two walked along the coastline.

It's as if we're going to walk all the way to the end of the world.

She looked under the bed but didn't see Xu Ye. She quickly grabbed her phone, then suddenly sat up in shock.

But the next moment, a sticky note was found on Xu Ye's pillow.

"Don't worry if you're awake. I'm going to buy breakfast and I'll be right back—Ye."

After reading it, Su Zijin's lips immediately curled into a faint smile.

The reason Ah Ye left a sticky note instead of sending a message is probably because he guessed that Ah Ye would contact him the moment he opened his eyes.

If I can't see him, I might be scared.

Leaving a sticky note on his pillow would be much more intuitive, and he could see it at a glance.

What a thoughtful thought.

"The handwriting is nice, quite beautiful..."

She glanced at the note a few more times.

In modern society, there aren't many people who can write well, especially boys.

But Xu Ye's handwriting is very good; each stroke is clean and neat, making it extremely pleasing to the eye.

She carefully folded the sticky note, then removed her phone case and put it inside.

I got up, drew back the curtains, and glanced at the time; it was only six o'clock.

The sun had risen, and its soft light fell on her face, making her feel much happier.

Although I hated Jiang Jianmin yesterday, today... I'm suddenly a little grateful to him.

After all, if it weren't for him, I might not have been able to make up my mind so quickly.

Sharing a room...

Even though she was absolutely certain that A-Ye would never do anything against her will, something she had never dared to imagine before...

She turned back and looked at the ground.

The blanket is still there, and so is the pillow.

She walked over, lifted the blanket, and gently lay down.

That's how A-Ye slept yesterday.

His scent still lingered inside.

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth turned up even higher, and her heart started pounding involuntarily, as if a little deer had wandered in.

She pulled up the blanket, covered her nose, and took a deep breath... It smelled exactly the same as the scent she had when she leaned on A-Ye's shoulder yesterday.

But just then, the door suddenly clicked open...

She sat up abruptly, trying to get up, but it was too late.

Xu Ye, who pushed open the door and entered: "..."

He looked at Su Zijing, who was sitting on the ground in a duck-like position, and asked in bewilderment, "What are you doing?"

Su Zijing, however, remained unfazed and forcefully retorted, "What are you doing?"

"Buying breakfast."

Xu Ye showed the items in his hand: "I also bought you face wash and face cream... but since they were bought from a 24-hour convenience store, they're just so-so. You'll have to make do with them for now."

Su Zijing's eyebrows curved into a smile again: "I'm not that particular..."

There's absolutely no need for that.

But this represents A-Ye's feelings.

So she was very happy, truly happy...

"I'm glad you don't mind."

Xu Ye smiled, then his expression suddenly turned serious: "Then... Corporal Su!"

Su Zijing had been undergoing military training recently, so she reacted quickly and immediately stood up upon hearing this: "Yes, General Ohno!"

"Brush your teeth and wash your face! Full speed ahead! Report to our unit after completing the mission!"

"Yes!"

"Claim your gear!"

As Xu Ye spoke, he handed over the facial cleanser and face cream he was holding.

Hmm, we'll need to add a lot more things later: couple mugs, couple towels, couple pajamas, couple...

Yes, this won't be the first time, nor will it be the last.

He wanted to start early and build this into a home, a home that... belonged only to him and Su Zijing.

Su Zijing took the things and went to the bathroom.

Xu Ye went to the drying room... He also used the washing machine to wash Su Zijin's clothes last night, and because of the weather, they didn't even need a hairdryer; they dried overnight.

By this time, Su Zijing had already excellently completed the tasks of washing her face and brushing her teeth, and then arranged all the items in the bathroom.

Although they weren't wearing matching sets, their towels were hung together, their cups were placed together, and their toothbrushes were facing the same direction.

She tilted her head and glanced at it, liking it more and more the more she looked at it.
