“I’m not scared.” Jian Qing mumbled vaguely.

She was just asking.

“Sweetheart, my only intention is to make you happy. So, don’t purposefully avoid me, okay?” His voice, as always, dripped with doting sweetness.

In that moment, she knew she couldn’t avoid it anymore.

Jian Qing looked up to find herself gazing at the handsome curve of a man’s jaw and his sexy, thin lips. Her voice was soft.

“Xiaojing, I’m a bit sensitive when it comes to love. It’s either for a lifetime or we become strangers. What do you think?”

If it’s just friendship, then let’s be good friends. Once you cross that boundary, it’s hard to go back.

As the words fell, a low laugh emerged from the man’s enticing thin lips. Jian Qing only felt a sudden tension around her waist, and in the next moment, found herself held in his broad chest.

Her hands hung to her sides, not knowing how to react.

“Sweetheart!” His magnetic, deep voice rang above her head, causing Jian Qing to jolt in surprise.

“Actually, I have something to tell you too. I’m pretty greedy. A lifetime is too short. What I want is forever.”

Under the moonlight, her soft, innocent voice, like that of a child, chimed in, “Xiaojing, do you know how far forever is?”

Quan Jingwu’s hand wrapped around her waist tightened, his thin lips close to her ear, whispering like lovers do, “Forever means having no idea of the distance, or till the seas run dry and the stones go soft, or perhaps till the earth shatters, or maybe till we both grow old together.”

After a moment, Jian Qing burst into laughter, a gentle curve appearing at the corners of her lips. “Hey, should we have a trial period then?”

The next moment, distance appeared between them, the man’s surprised expression registered before her eyes, causing Jian Qing to chuckle.

He joked, “A trial period for being a husband?”

The corner of Jian Qing’s mouth twitched, “Dream on, it’s for being a boyfriend.”

He wishes to skip a few steps. How wonderful he thinks it is.

Quan Jingwu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, “Then what was I before?”

“The observation period,” Jian Qing replied nonchalantly.

Quan Jingwu, “Then how long is the trial period?”

Jian Qing thought for a moment and answered, “Depends on your performance.”

Quan Jingwu felt vaguely defeated, but he considered this a small step forward. Wooing a wife should be an incremental task, taken one step at a time.

“Alright, as you say.”

Jian Qing mimicked his earlier action by reaching up to stroke his hair, “Good boy.”

Quan Jingwu frowned. He felt as if she was coaxing a pet.

The two of them walked home, joking and laughing in the moonlight till they reached their destination before they knew it.

Jian Qing hopped up the steps with a light pace, turned around, and seeing the man still not moving, raised an eyebrow, “Why aren’t you moving?”

Quan Jingwu folded his arms, and on hearing her words, his handsome face darkened, “Did you forget something?”

“What?”

“Shouldn’t you give me a good night kiss?”

At his words, Jian Qing blushed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry at the man trying to bring his face closer.

Standing on the stairs which made them of roughly the same height, she reached up to his shoulder and quickly pecked his cheek.

“Alright, bye-bye.”

Before she could even finish, Jian Qing turned to hurry inside, but her arm was forcefully grabbed, instantly reducing the distance between them.

Quan Jingwu bent down to her ear, his voice low and husky, “Sweetheart, as adults, we can be a little more risqué.”

In the next moment, Jian Qing’s mind went blank, the warmth on her lips scorching her heart. Her face became so hot, it felt like it would burst into flames any moment.

She didn’t know how much time passed before he finally let go. For the first time, Jian Qing realised that kissing could leave one breathless.

“Silly girl, if you don’t go in now, I might just whisk you away,” Quan Jingwu teased, rubbing her hair with a satisfied smile on his face.

The cool breeze brushed past, and Jian Qing snapped back into reality. Meeting his teasing gaze, she hurriedly opened the door and stepped inside.

As the door shut heavily behind her, hiding her embarrassed expression from view, Quan Jingwu couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter. As the lights inside the house lit up, he finally turned and walked away.
