Angle of view

  I was woken up by the alarm clock. Although it was only a short two hours, I slept very soundly. When I opened my eyes with great difficulty, I saw that the summer sunlight had already shone on the bed. Tan Jiao was lying in my arms, her small face calm and sleeping sweetly. Her slender white shoulders were exposed outside the quilt.

  For the first time in my life, I truly have a woman of my own. The one I love.

  My heart skipped a beat, and I almost reacted immediately. However, there was no time left, and I didn't want her to think I was a man without self-control.

  I stared at her for a while, waiting for my emotions to calm down, before gently stroking her nose: "Jiao Jiao, Jiao Jiao?" She furrowed her brow, almost dazedly opening her eyes to look at me, but then turned away with a scowl, continuing to sleep soundly. Her expression was really too adorable, and I couldn't help but chuckle softly. I lifted the thin blanket and saw the body that I had taken liberties with last night, and my heart skipped a beat again.

  I bowed my head, and with a slight effort, pinched her face. She finally opened her eyes in confusion, saw our appearance, let out a low cry of "ah", pulled the quilt to wrap herself up completely, saw me naked, and also pulled a corner of the quilt to throw over my waist.

  We just stared at each other like that. I didn't dare to get any closer. Her expression was a bit awkward, but her eyes were full of sparkling stars, and the blush lingered for a long time, from her face to her neck, to her ears, to her slender shoulders. She had no idea how much willpower it took me not to hug her into my arms again.

  "Does it still hurt?" I asked softly.

  "It hurts... but it's always like this the first time, it's nothing." She said calmly.

  "You seem to understand quite a bit."

  "That's for sure. Definitely more than you." A smile flashed in her eyes.

  I said in a low voice: "It wasn't obvious last night, it was all my effort."

  "She: '...you don't have to try so hard.'"

  "No way." I said on purpose, "You know, the me from a year ago was very hardworking and had a strong sense of purpose."

  She covered her face with her hand: "Damn, even this is the same?"

  I laughed and she kept laughing too. Later on, she rolled over with her blanket all the way to me and I gave her a big hug.

  This morning was chaotic, and with my usual calm temperament, it was the first time I almost missed the flight. Holding her hand, we sprinted through the waiting hall. When we finally boarded the plane, both of us were exhausted. She only said: "Mmm, I'll sleep a bit more." I pressed her head onto my shoulder, and she smiled happily, almost shrinking into my arms. I held her like a precious treasure, gripping her hand tightly, and the two of us slept soundly all the way.

  I found that Tan Jiao's attitude towards me has undergone a very subtle change. In the past few days, when we were together, she was even proud of kissing and hugging. Occasionally, when she was happy, she would come over and kiss me. Most of the time, it was I who had to half-force her... before she would reluctantly comply.

  Ever since we had a physical relationship last night, my girlfriend seems to be a bit uneasy and greedy. When walking, she always holds my hand and leans against me. I think this is probably the weakness of women. So when we walked out of the airport, I put my arm around her waist, and although there were people around us, I couldn't help but lean down and kiss her again. Her expression changed slightly, and she hugged my arm tighter.

  Ahead is the baggage claim area.

  I heard that I'm bringing my girlfriend over this time, and Wu Miao insisted on picking us up. I remembered that she's still safe for the next few days, and I really wanted to see her early, so I agreed.
