Chapter 343: Chapter 343 Unrestrained Desire

Following your heart, it really sounds wonderful.

Su Zixi’s heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

In fact, He Jingyao was right. Although she had tried to relax, she was always cautious at heart, preventing her from truly being unrestrained.

What was the reason?

Perhaps it was because she dared not let herself become too dependent on him. Su Zixi didn’t know how long this cherished time, being adored in the palm of his hand, could last. If one day his ailment was cured and another woman appeared by his side, and she was no longer special, she might have to part ways with him.

She ultimately didn’t dare to indulge herself too deeply.

Yet, seeing He Jingyao’s meaningful and encouraging gaze, she simply couldn’t bring herself to voice such a reason.

Her worries were just that, worries, and didn’t necessarily have to come true. How could she betray He Jingyao’s intentions just because of them?

With that thought, Su Zixi nodded forcefully, “I understand.”

Only then did He Jingyao smile in satisfaction, bending down to plant a soft kiss on her cheek, “Good.”

Su Zixi felt a surge of tenderness in her heart, and she couldn’t help wrapping her arms around his waist, “So… can I keep following my heart like this?”

“Of course,” he raised his eyebrows.

“Uh… even if one day you’re well? Or if, there appears a second one like me?” Su Zixi said, her heart involuntarily lifting with the question.

He Jingyao couldn’t help but laugh.

“Yes,” his tone was low and deep, as if each word struck her heart, “Even if one day I am cured, you will still be the one and only in my heart, there is no second Su Zixi in this world.”

Su Zixi’s eyes heated up, suddenly feeling like crying.

How annoying, it would have been better not to ask. She knew they were just sweet nothings, but she couldn’t help being moved…

Moreover, she knew he wasn’t just paying lip service; at least at this moment, his feelings were sincere.

“Mm…” she choked up, “I’ll remember that.”

“Do you want me to write you a guarantee?” He Jingyao suggested seriously.

Su Zixi chuckled, “No need… Let’s watch a movie!”

“What do you want to watch?” He Jingyao picked up the remote and clicked through the menu options.

“Hmm…” Su Zixi pondered, what to watch indeed? If it’s between two people, isn’t a romance movie the best? But it’s said that horror movies are more suitable for couples, right?

Maybe He Jingyao prefers sci-fi movies?

She thought about it and looked at the man beside her, “What about you?”

He raised an eyebrow, suddenly suggesting with a smile, “Lust, Caution? That’s not bad. Let’s watch that.”

Su Zixi: “…”

Her face flushed as she refused, “No!”

“Why not?” He leaned in slightly, curious and solicitous, “What’s wrong with this movie?”

Su Zixi almost thought he really didn’t know!

But soon she saw some teasing and suggestive mirth in the depths of his dark eyes and instantly understood he was teasing her again!

Su Zixi gritted her teeth, putting on an uncooperative front, “Just because! Didn’t you say I can do whatever I want?”

He Jingyao curled his lips, seriously suggesting, “Then… how about Meat Group?”

“… Not good at all!” Su Zixi snatched the remote from his hand, fierce, “Life of Pi? This film is really good! That’s the one!”
