"It's enough." Luo Lixi muttered softly as she rubbed her arm, "You should rest now. It's been a long while." 

So the only girl who ws beside Luo Lixi left. When she glanced around, nobody entered her vision. 

"It seems I am the only one here." She murmured and turned around. Her hands placed themselves on the edge of the hot spring and her left hand twirled the glass with her two fingers. 

Her face was flushed while her lips were bent into a cheeky smirk. "Everything is two. I have four hands now… how convenient~" 

Her eyes were somewhat cloudy. She raised her left hand and saw it had also two glasses. 

"It's empty? Why is it empty?!" Luo Lixi felt like it's not fair. Thus she picked the bottle which had a little bit of wine left and poured it on the glass. But all of the content ended up falling to the ground. "Ah?!" She poured more in that glass but how could an imaginary thing hold something.

But she didn't lose hope and tried to the end with her shaky hand. Suddenly a shadow was cast above her head. Her heart stopped beating for a few seconds when an extremely chilly voice floated around the place, "I let you come so that you won't get bored and get to know other people…" 

The man crouched down and stared at her from above. "Just look at you. A drunkard thing…" The man gritted his teeth and forced down the urge to pinch her two blushed cheeks. 

Luo Lixi turned towards the source of the voice and laughed foolishly, "Ruming~ Here you are~ I have been waiting for you~" She tried to clearly see the man but how could a drunk mind see anything clearly?! 

"Get up." The man gave her his right hand.

"Ah, there are two Rumings." Luo Lixi was puzzled when two hands were placed in front of her eyes, 'Which one should I accept? The right one or the left one? Ah, the left hand looks more handsome....' 

Luo Lixi smiled at the man when she had decided as if she had finally decided what she would do. 

Sheng Ruming was taken aback when she flashed  a smile full of smugness. The blush cheeks, cloudy and watery eyes, the crescent lips as well as the exposed skins of her… all the things tempted the man to take a bite of her. 

"Were you like this before everyone?" He suppressed the urge to bite her slender neck and asked in a hoarse voice to distract his attention.

"Umm?" Her mind didn't understand what he meant. Her right hand went to grab his hand while she began to stand up. As soon as their hands came into contact she slipped.

"Ah!"

"Be careful!" The man grabbed her hand to drag her towards him but in the end, both of them lost their balance and fell in the water. 

Sheng Ruming had already stopped breathing. He touched the surface of the ground and steadied himself. Then he dragged the girl out of the water. 

"Cough! Cough!" 

Luo Lixi coughed violently. The man was very angry when he saw her face which was out of breath. 

"It will be ridiculous if you drown in waist length water. Stand still!" Luo Lixi's two hands were grabbed by him. 

"I… cough! I won't die so easily! Cough!" She shook her head and felt her world was shining. Thus she dropped her whole body against him and fell asleep. 

'Sigh! Why did I even let her come here in the first place? Is a hot spring a place to get drunk?!' 

Sheng Ruming walked out from the water and carried her on his shoulder. Then he put his outer suit on her and made her wear it in her half-conscious

"Be good. We will return to our room in a few seconds." He didn't mind that she was wet all over and carried her to their room. After he entered, they went straight to the washroom. 

He helped her put on her night robe and laid her on the bed. Then the man went to change his own wet clothes. 

After ten minutes, Luo Lixi's eyes gradually opened as she tried to make sense of her surroundings. She saw the familiar environment and tried to sit up. Right then the washroom door opened and the man came out.

'Ah, I better act like dead.' Thus she didn't move and remained motionless. Sheng Ruming glanced at her for a second. After he had dried his hair, he went beside her.

The man stared down on her rosy face and kissed her lips for a minute. He raised his eyes when he felt the body stiffened under him. He smiled knowingly.

After he covered her with a blanket, he left the room after he had turned off the lights. "Too dark… I'm scared!" 

Luo Lixi sat up right away. She clutched the blanket and waited for Sheng Ruming to return. But then she dozed off and her head dangled like a listless thing.

After several minutes, she was jolted awake. "Ah, Ruming, where are you?! Why did you leave me?!" She cried out and left the room with her clumsy steps.

*** ***

Knock~ knock~ 

Both Wei Airan and Ji Yanli turned towards the door when they heard the knock. Ji Yanli opened the door and saw Sheng Ruming. 

"Come in." She gave him the way but left the room in the next second. "I better go somewhere else. You two can go ahead." She left after she was done. 

Sheng Ruming went up to his mother and told her right away, "Ma, I will marry her in the next month." 

"..."

Wei Airan lifted her head and began to study his face carefully. "So soon? We have yet to meet her grandfather. Also your father… "

"Ma, I don't care if father agrees or not. I will marry her at the end of the next month. There are still 42 days left. I think it's enough."
