Jing Ran carried Jing Li on his back as they climbed the mountain. Even when Jing Li said she could walk halfway, he stubbornly insisted on carrying her to the mountaintop. Jing Li had to take out a tissue to wipe his face and said, “Ranran, thank you for your hard work.”

At the mountaintop, there was a small temple where a constant stream of visitors burned incense, worshipped inside, and then placed the incense in the large incense burner outside, putting money into the nearby small box. Jing Ran and Jing Li didn’t understand these customs, so they just followed what others were doing, buying incense, burning it, worshiping, making wishes, and placing incense…

In the end, Jing Li bought a few peace charms, which she gave to her family when they returned home and also gave one to Jing Ran.

“Thank you,” Jing Ran said, taking it and hanging it on his keychain.

After descending the mountain, it was getting late, so the two of them had dinner at the resort hotel, rested for a while, and then went to soak in the hot springs. The hot springs here were separated into male and female baths, as well as mixed-gender baths and couple baths.

Jing Ran booked a couple’s bath, which was a small garden with a hot spring in the center, very private.

They changed into their swimsuits and got into the hot spring. Jing Li looked at the small garden, the not-so-big hot spring emitting wisps of white steam, with only the two of them soaking in it.

She sat beside Jing Ran, looked up at him, and found that he was looking at her. Maybe it was the environment, but in this quite romantic lover’s hot spring, the atmosphere became ambiguous.

“Lili, we haven’t kissed today,” Jing Ran said with a smile, particularly charming.

Come on, let’s kiss…

Jing Li offered her lips, rubbing against his, and the two lightly tasted each other, entering a state…

As the two indulged in the intertwining of their tongues, Jing Ran’s hand naturally moved up Jing Li’s back, reaching her neck. He untied the straps of her swimsuit, taking off the upper part, and the two were bare from the waist up, pressed closely against each other.

Jing Ran’s hand slid down, kneading Jing Li’s little bun. The intensity was not well controlled, causing Jing Li some discomfort. Jing Li paused the kiss, looked at Jing Ran, then at his hand on her chest. She had been too engrossed just now and didn’t notice that he had taken off her swimsuit.

Afraid that Jing Li might blame him, Jing Ran took the initiative and retorted, “On my birthday, you said I could touch you whenever I wanted!”

Jing Li: “…”

She hadn’t intended to blame him at all, so why was he acting so timid?

Jing Ran now had one hand on one side of her chest. She took his other hand and placed it on the other side of her chest, and said calmly, “Go ahead, touch, touch until you’re satisfied!”

Jing Ran felt somewhat uncomfortable with Jing Li’s enthusiasm. After all, when he used to “touch her sneakily,” she always blushed and looked shy. Why didn’t she have those expressions today!

So composed, and so generous.

Of course, Jing Li wouldn’t tell Jing Ran that her roommate later said, if you let your boyfriend massage your little bun frequently, you’ll have a second growth spurt!

Before, Jing Li took pride in her flat chest because… it saved fabric for the country!

It was that one time when Jing Ran accidentally touched her chest and said it felt like a little bun. This guy keep name her chest “little bun”!

She was so angry that she kept trying to enhance her breasts, but drinking papaya milk for a month had no effect at all!

What a waste of money!

“Lili, you’ve changed. You weren’t like this before. You used to be so coy, and today you’re being so generous. Are you planning to break up with me tomorrow, so you’re being nice to me today?”

Jing Li: “…”

Silly boy, your imagination is running wild!

After soaking in the hot spring, the two returned to the room to rest. The bed was King size, big enough for four or five people to sleep on, but The Little Prince lay at the edge of the bed, while Jing Li lay in the middle, looking at him and asking, “What are you doing?”

Jing Ran, still immersed in his thoughts, said, “Lili, I won’t touch you anymore. Please don’t break up with me!”

Jing Li: “…”

If you don’t touch the little bun, how will the little bun grow bigger!!!

After turning off the light, Jing Li slowly approached Jing Ran, who shrank back and fell off the bed with a “thud.”

A long time passed, but he hadn’t gotten up yet.

Jing Li asked, “Ranran, did you hurt yourself from the fall?”

Jing Ran: “No, I think I’d better sleep on the floor! That way I won’t touch you.”

Jing Li: “…”

Today she was a little more proactive, and Little Prince actually thought she was acting strangely!

In the darkness, Jing Li’s faint voice rang out, “Ranran, didn’t you say we should live together during your internship?”

“Yeah.”

“Are you planning to sleep in a different room from me?”

“Yeah.”

“If you don’t want to sleep with me, then I don’t think we need to live together. I might as well live at your grandma’s place, it’s closer to the workplace anyway.”

“No way!” Jing Li had finally agreed to live together with him, and he wasn’t going to send her to Grandma’s house.

“Then why aren’t you getting into bed? Do you want to make me angry?”

Jing Ran obediently climbed into bed, but still lay at the edge.

Jing Li commanded, “Come here, hug me and sleep!”

Jing Ran reluctantly came to the middle of the bed, cautiously embracing Jing Li.

Jing Li covered her face with one hand. Her boyfriend’s emotional intelligence was so low, she really wanted to hit him!

The next day was Jing Li’s birthday. Jing Ran wanted to go back home to treat Jing Li to a good meal, so they checked out early and drove back to the city, heading to the Royal Garden community. Before going home, they visited a supermarket because Jing Ran rarely stayed there, and the house lacked many daily necessities. With less than a month left until the final exams, they wanted to purchase in advance so they could move in smoothly once they started living together.

They bought shower gel, shampoo, laundry detergent… Jing Li thought about how in the future, she and Little Prince would share the same scent, which excited her inexplicably.

She decided not to reveal her thoughts, or else Little Prince would think she was acting strangely.

Couples’ toothbrushes, couples’ towels, couples’ pajamas… Jing Li picked out couples’ items as she walked and threw them into the shopping cart. They pushed the cart to a corner where there was a container filled with exquisite raincoats(condom). She didn’t know when they had ended up here, and Jing Ran was still standing beside her.

Jing Li thought that after they started living together, being alone together might lead to something more, so they should be prepared. She reached out and tugged at Jing Ran’s clothes, shyly asking, “Ranran, buy this.”

Jing Ran looked at the adjacent shelf and just noticed that this corner held these items.

He thought Jing Li was testing him and said sternly, “Lili, you don’t need to test me. I absolutely won’t do that kind of thing with you!”

Fool!

Jing Li ignored him and casually picked up a box of little raincoats and threw it into the shopping cart. Thinking there was more to come, Jing Ran asked, “Are you going to… with me when we get back home later?”

Jing Li gave him a disdainful look and said, “I’m going to use it to blow up balloons to celebrate today’s birthday. Is that okay?”

“Okay…” Jing Ran hadn’t expected her to buy them for blowing up balloons and said, “I was actually going to tell you that you got the wrong size. I feel like the medium size doesn’t suit me, I need the large size. But if you’re going to use it for blowing up balloons, size doesn’t matter, right?”

Jing Li picked up the medium-sized raincoat from the shopping cart and put it back on the shelf, then took a large one, proudly saying, “Bigger balloons are more fun!”

Jing Ran, on the side, felt depressed. Is she really going to blow up the raincoat to play with later?

After browsing the daily necessities area, they came to the fresh food area. Jing Ran picked out the vegetables and meat that Jing Li liked to eat. He planned to fill her up before returning to school.

Back at the Yujing’s house, Jing Ran went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients, while Jing Li tidied up the daily necessities and put these things in their proper places. Finally, Jing Li placed the raincoat on the bedside table in the master bedroom, staring at the label on the packaging box that read “large size.”

The fact that The Little Princess needed a large size inexplicably made Jing Li feel weak in the legs.

After dinner, they took a nap in the afternoon before returning to school.

Unconsciously, it was the annual graduation season. Senior students in their final year were returning to campus to take graduation photos, wearing their academic gowns and posing in various locations around the school. Jing Ran had a close senior in the management department who had returned to campus to take graduation photos and invited Jing Ran to join him for the occasion.

Jing Ran deliberately bought a bouquet of lilies from the flower shop and took Jing Li to congratulate the senior on his graduation. When they arrived, the senior’s class had already taken their graduation photos, followed by free activities where graduates took photos with their family and friends.

After the senior finished taking a photo with a junior, Jing Ran greeted him and handed over the bouquet of flowers, saying, “Congratulations on your graduation, senior!”

The senior accepted the flowers and said, “Thank you. Let’s take a photo together!”

Jing Ran held Jing Li’s hand and approached the senior, maintaining a gentle smile facing the camera.

“Wow!” After taking the photo, the photographer looked at it and said, “OK.”

“Sobbing, sobbing, sobbing…” Suddenly, the cry of a child was heard.

A young woman in her bachelor’s suit was holding a baby and said to a senior male student, “Ah Pang, your son is crying again, I can’t calm him down.”

The senior student, with a fatherly look, smiled at the baby and said, “Come, let daddy hold you!”

“Daddy?” Jing Li and Jing Ran looked at the senior student with incredulous eyes at the same time.

The senior student shrugged helplessly, but looked at the baby with a particularly sincere smile and said, “The little guy couldn’t wait to come out, nothing could stop him.”

Later, Jing Ran and Jing Li learned from the senior student’s explanation that he and his girlfriend had not taken proper precautions last year, which led to her pregnancy. Because the senior student had not reached the legal marriage age, they couldn’t get married, and they hadn’t considered abortion. Without a marriage certificate, the child couldn’t get a birth certificate, and would be considered illegitimate, leading to fines and other consequences. Fortunately, the senior student turned 22 this year, and before the child was born, he quickly obtained a marriage certificate and completed a bunch of procedures for the birth certificate.

The senior student also explained that it’s not a bad thing to have a child earlier, while young, with the energy to take good care of the child. At the same time, there’s a sense of pressure that drives oneself to work harder and provide a good life for the family.

“Senior, can I hold him?” The baby in the senior student’s arms had become particularly well-behaved and stopped crying. Jing Ran suddenly wanted to hold the baby.

The senior student handed his precious son to Jing Ran, who looked at the baby’s pink and tender face, so cute. Thinking of what Jing Li had said before, that they would name their future child “Xiao Kang” (Little Kang). I wonder if their Xiao Kang would be this cute?

Xiao Kang must be very cute, after all, his mother is so beautiful.

Jing Ran looked at the baby, a doting expression in his eyes, and then glanced at Jing Li, as if wanting to say something.

Jing Li knew his personality, if others had something, he would want it too. She raised her hand, asserting her position, “I definitely won’t have a child before marriage!”
