Chapter 316: Moving in
Days passed by just like that and Qin Yan’s first year of study was completed.
As the car glided through the darkened streets, the interior was illuminated by a soft, warm glow from the dashboard. Xi Ting and Qin Yan had just finished their date night and were now on their way back to Qin Yan’s campus.
Qin Yan’s eyes shone with a hint of amusement as she glanced at Xi Ting, who had a faint smile on his lips.
The silence in the car was comfortable, filled only by the hum of the engine and the faint sound of jazz playing on the radio. Qin Yan reached out and turned up the volume, and they both tapped their fingers lightly to the rhythm of the music.
The streetlights flickered as they drove past, casting intermittent shadows on their faces. Qin Yan’s cheeks were flushed from the chilly night air, and Xi Ting reached over to adjust the heater, making sure she was warm enough. She thanked him with a grateful smile and reached for his hand, entwining her fingers with his.
They exchanged stolen glances, their eyes meeting in the rearview mirror, and they both chuckled softly. Qin Yan’s laughter was melodic, and Xi Ting found himself captivated by the sound. He couldn’t help but steal a quick glance at her, taking in her tousled hair and the sparkle in her eyes.
As they approached a stop sign, Xi Ting brought the car to a gentle halt. Qin Yan turned to face him, her hand still clasped in his. They shared a moment of quiet intimacy, the outside world fading into the background. Xi Ting leaned in, and Qin Yan met him halfway, their lips touching in a tender kiss.
Their kiss deepened, and they lost themselves in each other, oblivious to the passing time. The world around them seemed to disappear as they savored the moment, their hearts beating in unison.
When they finally pulled apart, Qin Yan’s cheeks were flushed a rosy pink, and Xi Ting’s eyes sparkled with adoration. They exchanged a loving gaze, their foreheads resting against each other.
