If I Fall in Love with You for the Rest of My Life, I, Bibi Dong, Will Be Content

The bed creaked and groaned, as though some intense exercise was taking place, immediately drawing the attention of the two women waiting outside the door.

Gu Yuena turned her head in confusion, while Hu Liena wore an equally puzzled expression.

What were they doing in there?

Hu Liena instantly lost her composure.

Unable to make sense of it no matter how she thought about it, Hu Liena anxiously paced back and forth, swaying around in front of Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena was even less patient than Hu Liena. She first pressed herself to the crack in the door and peered inside, but she could not see anything clearly. Just as she was about to push the door open, a sentence suddenly echoed in her mind.

"If you don't behave, don't even think about getting on my bed again..."

The words exploded through her mind like thunder, and her little hand froze just as it was about to push the door open.

Gu Yuena muttered angrily to herself, leaning against the wall with a resentful expression and her arms crossed.

Chi Xiu struggled with all his strength, but Bibi Dong's attention did not seem to be on that. Her eyes were filled with delight as she stared at Chi Xiu, as though he were a treasure that nothing else could replace.

"You said you came from the future to protect me and save me. Then tell me, what am I like in the future?"

Bibi Dong looked at Chi Xiu expectantly, her tone growing gentler.

The future... Of course Chi Xiu knew Bibi Dong's future, but he certainly would not tell her the truth.

"Your future is already in the past. Now that I'm here, your future will be different."

"You mean I originally wouldn't have had a good ending?"

Bibi Dong caught the implication in Chi Xiu's words, and her eyes immediately dimmed.

But she quickly smiled again.

The future was not important. What mattered was that she finally had someone who could listen to her, understand her, and relate to her. And that person was beneath her right now, struggling like a little lamb.

"Then what was your relationship with me in the future? Why did you come back to protect me?"

Bibi Dong continued asking, her pale fingers gently stroking Chi Xiu's cheek, making his heart itch.

"Could you cover up the front first?"

Chi Xiu turned his gaze away with a blush. That dazzling whiteness was practically killing him, and even more fatal was the scent of this mature beauty.

Bibi Dong lowered her head for a look and instantly understood why Chi Xiu was blushing. She covered her mouth with her delicate hand and chuckled, but rather than covering herself, she opened up even more.

"I asked how old you were mentally, but you wouldn't answer me. So I could only treat you as Little One. What is there for such a small child to be embarrassed about? I'm not..."

Bibi Dong paused before saying, "I'm not a young girl anymore. I won't be shy."

Chi Xiu tilted his head back in despair, but Bibi Dong insisted on pulling it back down.

Well, this was great. Chi Xiu stared into the abyss before him, feeling as though the abyss were staring back at him too.

He could not take it anymore!

A fierce dragon emerged from the sea!

Bibi Dong's body stiffened. She widened her eyes and looked at Chi Xiu strangely, two flushes blooming on her fair cheeks. "You..."

Feeling guilty, Chi Xiu looked elsewhere and muttered, "You forced me. I couldn't help it. I'm a man, after all—especially when you're this beautiful."

"Hehehe..."

Bibi Dong was amused by Chi Xiu's bashful yet stubborn expression. She had always hated men, regardless of their age, but she liked this little fellow so much. She even kept wanting to tease him. Making Chi Xiu blush seemed to be Bibi Dong's happiest pastime at the moment.

"You look beautiful when you smile. You should smile more often. In my impression, you always had a straight face, like everyone owed you five million."

"You little rascal, how can you talk like that!"

Bibi Dong feigned anger and poked Chi Xiu's forehead with her pale index finger, though a smile remained at the corners of her lips. "Then tell me, am I beautiful?"

"Beautiful. Like a goddess. Even more perfect when you smile."

Chi Xiu praised her without hesitation.

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes shimmered. She gently rested her head on Chi Xiu's shoulder. After all these years, she finally had a shoulder she could lean on, even if it was a little narrow at the moment.

"Then I'll smile more often from now on. Is that all right?"

"Of course. Beauty is your asset, and smiling is your right. You're so beautiful when you smile, so naturally you should smile more often. It's not like you can be this happy every day."

As soon as he finished speaking, soft red lips pressed against Chi Xiu's cheek, warm and wet.

"You're so kind. That was the sweetest... love talk I've ever heard."

"Why can't you grow up faster? If I fall in love with you for the rest of my life, I, Bibi Dong, will be content."

As she spoke, she gradually tightened her embrace around Chi Xiu.

"Little one, don't leave me, all right?"

Feeling the soft, warm body in his arms, Chi Xiu was somewhat stunned. In that moment, he felt that Bibi Dong was worth it.

She was not some villainous bad woman. She was merely a wounded girl who needed comfort.

But he was still far too weak. Bibi Dong was probably the most controversial figure on the entire continent, secretly watched by countless powerful people.

Being with her now would only bring trouble to both of them. The only way was for him to become stronger as quickly as possible and use his strength to change the laws of the entire continent.

"I'll always protect you quietly, but I need time to work hard and become stronger too. Before then, it's better for both of us if we have less contact. Can you understand?"

After saying this, Chi Xiu realized Bibi Dong had gone silent.

When he looked down, he discovered that she had fallen asleep. A tear still lingered at the corner of her eye. Chi Xiu gently wiped it away, then gazed at her breathtaking sleeping face and could not help kissing her soft, fair cheek.

At some point, Bibi Dong had already untied the spider silk binding his limbs. Chi Xiu carefully got up, laid Bibi Dong—dressed in only a thin nightgown—on the bed, tucked the blanket around her, then opened the door and walked out.

"You finally came out! What happened in there just now?!"

Hu Liena looked at Chi Xiu and concernedly examined him from head to toe.

"Nothing. I can leave now. Take me out."

Chi Xiu closed the door. When he turned to look at Gu Yuena, he found the white-haired little beauty wearing a gloomy, sour expression.

"What's with you? Did you eat a lemon or something?"

"Bad master. I'm ignoring you."

"Tch."

Chi Xiu could not be bothered with her either. He looked at Hu Liena. "Let's go."

"All right, hurry."

Hu Liena wished Chi Xiu would leave quickly, lest Bibi Dong change her mind and capture him again.

The two of them walked toward the exit, each lost in their own thoughts.

Chi Xiu was thinking about Bibi Dong, while Hu Liena kept secretly glancing at Chi Xiu, looking as though she wanted to say something but could not bring herself to.

Meanwhile, two young men were slowly approaching.

"How have things been going with Nana lately? She has more and more admirers now, so you'd better be careful."

Xie Yue draped an arm over Yan's shoulder and teased him.

"What's there to be afraid of? Nana is like His Holiness the Pope—she usually doesn't get close to men. Plenty of people are jealous that I can even talk to Nana."

"What if Nana only acts that way because she hasn't met someone she likes?"

Xie Yue suddenly asked a soul-searching question.

Yan froze for a moment, then immediately shook his head. "Impossible. How could that be... Wait, isn't that Nana?"

Xie Yue followed Yan's gaze.

"Gu Yuena."

"What is it?"

Hu Liena suddenly called out to stop Chi Xiu, who was walking ahead. Chi Xiu had only just turned around when she hurried over, gently kissed his forehead, then stepped back with a bashful face.

"I don't think you're a bad person. I hope... we can meet again in the future..."

Xie Yue and Yan happened to witness the scene, and the two brothers stood there completely dumbfounded.
