They had the same devoted and passionate attitude towards love. Once they set their heart on someone, they were willing to pay any price.

Not only did the young master Su possess these characteristics, but he was also particularly clingy and loved to act coquettishly.

Wherever she went, he would follow. He seemed to want to be by her side at all times. She had never encountered such a soft and cuddly boyfriend before.

For her, it was particularly enjoyable. She considered it another manifestation of deep love.

Lu Yuner instructed, “Now that I’ve recovered well, you don’t need to worry about anything. I won’t go back on the promises I made to you.”

“Now that we’re back in the capital, everything needs to return to normal. You should continue your studies as before. After all, you’ve missed some classes, and you can’t be willful and skip class anymore. I also need to return to the Imperial Academy.”

“There’s a particularly important point now. The Imperial Academy is a place for education, and romantic relationships are strictly forbidden. We need to be especially mindful of our behavior. In the Imperial Academy, we should still address each other as teacher and student. Only when we’re alone in private can we treat each other as lovers. Do you understand?”

As these words fell into Su Qingwan’s ears, he immediately felt displeased. He pouted slightly and remained silent, pretending not to hear.

Not getting a response, Lu Yuner pulled him away from her embrace. The young man’s downcast mood and pouting expression came into view. Her bright eyes rippled with an indulgent smile, “What’s wrong? Not happy?”

Su Qingwan said in a bad mood, “I understand elder sister Yuner’s intentions, but I just feel a bit upset.”

Lu Yuner held his hand and interlocked their fingers tightly. She smiled at him and said, “Being with me every day, aren’t you afraid of getting tired of it?”

Su Qingwan immediately shook his head like a rattle drum, exclaiming excitedly, “Never! Never!”

After saying this, he paused for a second. Suddenly, his eyes moved slightly. Was elder sister Yuner tired of him?

Su Qingwan’s expression became serious and tinged with anxiety as he speculated, “Could it be that elder sister Yuner doesn’t like being with me? Or has elder sister Yuner started to… to grow weary of me?”

He had learned from Xie Nanxi that apart from accepting invitations from friends, elder sister Yuner usually preferred to be alone. Having been accustomed to being by herself for so long, suddenly having someone break her long-established habit…

These days, he was always by her side, never leaving for a moment. It was inevitable that she might feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Lu Yuner was momentarily at a loss for how to react. As long as she said anything ambiguous, the young master Su would imagine all sorts of speculations and anxieties, gradually deviating from the track.

The idiom “overly anxious” was perfectly embodied in him.

Lu Yuner looked at him with sincere eyes and said gently, “Ah Wan, everything about you is good, except for one thing.”

Su Qingwan’s heart suddenly trembled. His eyes were filled with intense panic. He gripped her hand tightly and, without waiting for her to finish, immediately said, “I… I’ll change.”

Lu Yuner continued, “You always love to overthink things. I like you and enjoy being with you. How could I possibly grow weary of you?”

“Moreover, these days, you should have come to understand what kind of person I am. Since I’ve given my heart to you, you should trust your own judgment in reading people, and understand that my feelings for you are equally unwavering.”

After hearing Lu Yuner’s words, Su Qingwan lowered his head slightly, feeling both happy and guilty. He apologized in a low voice, “Elder sister Yuner, I was wrong.”

Lu Yuner’s warm palm caressed his cheek, making him look her in the eyes. She said seriously, “You’re not wrong. Ah Wan is experiencing love for the first time and is naturally inexperienced in matters between men and women. You need time to slowly grow.”

“Although I, Lu Yuner, have been in three relationships before, the word ‘love’ is much more complex than its literal meaning. I also have many shortcomings.”

“Fate is fate. Love at first sight is fate, not tiring of each other after long association is destiny. There are no naturally perfect couples in this world. Both of us need to slowly adapt to each other. So being mutually honest and trusting each other is very important.”

Lu Yuner’s string of words enlightened Su Qingwan. He looked at her with burning eyes, “I know what to do now.”

Lu Yuner smiled with satisfaction. Her hand unconsciously caressed his face gently, her lips curving upward, “How about I come to see you whenever I have time after finishing classes each day?”

Su Qingwan smiled, his eyes brimming with joy, “Alright.”

At this moment, having passed through the noisy market street, the carriage was traveling on a residential street. The entire street was quiet and peaceful.

Lu Yuner knew they were not far from Yun Qinwang’s mansion. She withdrew her hand and helped him pick up his bundle in advance, “We’re about to reach Yun Qinwang’s mansion. Don’t forget these things.”

“Elder sister Yuner, can I come to the Lu residence to find you usually?” Su Qingwan took the bundle and asked tentatively.

“This…” Lu Yuner paused slightly. Since everyone already knew, why should she hide anything? She smiled and said, “Anytime is fine.”

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and a voice called out, “Miss Lu, Young Master Su, we’ve arrived at Yun Qinwang’s mansion.”

“Alright,” Lu Yuner responded to the outside, then turned to Su Qingwan and said, “It’s time to return to the mansion.”

“Wait a moment!” Su Qingwan said reluctantly.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Yuner asked with a puzzled expression.

“I… I…” Su Qingwan stammered with a red face.

In the next second, Su Qingwan suddenly leaned forward, tugging at Lu Yuner’s collar, and gave her a quick, light kiss on the cheek, like a dragonfly touching water.

In that brief moment, Su Qingwan lowered his eyes shyly and moved away. His skin was thin, and a faint blush immediately appeared at the base of his ears. “Elder sister Yuner, I’m leaving.”

Lu Yuner suddenly came back to her senses, her smiling eyes full of joy. She grabbed his hand and pulled him into her embrace. Her other hand fixed on the back of his head, slowly drawing closer, her tender gaze tracing his eyebrows and eyes from a distance.

Su Qingwan’s face flushed and his heart raced. His Adam’s apple bobbed once. His entranced gaze fell on her slightly parted vermilion lips, and then he closed his eyes and suddenly threw himself forward.

He actively pressed his lips tightly against her soft ones, while Lu Yuner held him and continued to deepen the kiss.

Suddenly, an abrupt voice interrupted the two who were in the midst of their tender moment.

Xiao Yuan’s excited voice sounded from outside the carriage, “Young Master! Young Master! Have you returned?”
