Song Ge sat on the edge of the bed, stealing glances at the door from time to time. Her rosy cheeks were tinged with a hint of shyness.
Suddenly, the door burst open, a whiff of alcohol wafting in.
Zhai Cheng staggered in. He had a good tolerance for alcohol and had never been this drunk before.
Song Ge quickly rushed over and supported him. "Are you okay?"
Zhai Cheng swayed, then steadied himself. He cupped Song Ge's face. "You're finally my woman."
Song Ge blushed. She took his hand. "You're drunk." Then she pushed him towards the bathroom.
The sound of dripping water came from the bathroom. Song Ge lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.
A short while later, the man emerged from the bathroom, covering only his lower body with a towel. His wet hair dripped water, the droplets slowly trickling down.
Song Ge averted her gaze. She felt her face burning. She shifted and closed her eyes.
Zhai Cheng was mostly sober by now. He walked towards the bed step by step.
Song Ge felt the mattress sink beside her. Her heart raced, and all drowsiness fled.
Suddenly, a pair of large hands encircled her waist and pulled her back, pressing her against a warm chest. The air was filled with a pleasant scent.
Zhai Cheng propped himself up and leaned close to her ear. "Song Ge, is it okay?"
It tickled. Song Ge instinctively moved.
She knew what Zhai Cheng meant, but she wasn't really ready yet.
Zhai Cheng saw her hesitation. He lay back down and just held her. "I won't do anything as long as you're not willing."
These words warmed Song Ge's heart.
Because of the arm around her waist, Song Ge couldn't fall asleep. Zhai Cheng was also wide - awake.
The person he loved was in his arms, but he couldn't do anything.
He got up and went back into the bathroom. When he returned, he heard soft breathing. He tiptoed back to bed, held her in his arms, and fell into a contented sleep.
The next day, the sun shone warmly on the two of them.
Song Ge opened her eyes with a start because Zhai Cheng was propping his head up, watching her intently.
She instinctively covered her head with the quilt.
Zhai Cheng smiled softly, pulled the quilt away, and said gently, "Be careful not to suffocate." Then he carried Song Ge to the bathroom to wash up.
When Aunt Chen saw the two of them coming downstairs together, looking energetic, she was very happy. "Young master, Miss Song..." She suddenly realized something and changed her words. "Madam, it's time for breakfast."
Song Ge was embarrassed by her words. "Aunt Chen, don't tease me."
Zhai Cheng said seriously, "We're already engaged. Marriage is inevitable, so you should change your address."
Song Ge pouted but didn't say anything else. They sat down to have breakfast together.
"I've booked tickets to Provence," Zhai Cheng's sudden words made Song Ge freeze. She instinctively asked, "What are we going to Provence for?"
Zhai Cheng looked matter - of - fact. "Naturally, it's for our honeymoon."
Song Ge didn't say a word. She frowned. There were still many things to be resolved. How could she be in the mood for a honeymoon?
Zhai Cheng naturally knew what she was worried about. He got up, walked behind her, and comforted her. "Don't worry. I'll handle everything."
Hearing this, Song Ge felt a little more at ease.
In the afternoon, Zhai Cheng went to the company to arrange the next work. Song Ge stayed in the villa to pack their clothes and other things.
"Knock, knock."
"Come in," Song Ge didn't even look up as she was still packing clothes.
Aunt Chen walked in. Seeing Song Ge still busy, she didn't say a word to disturb her.
After a long time, Song Ge didn't hear anyone speak, so she looked up. Seeing it was Aunt Chen, she smiled. "Aunt Chen, do you need anything?" She closed the suitcase and put it aside.
Aunt Chen hesitated, not knowing how to start.
"Aunt Chen, just say what you want."
Aunt Chen nodded. "Miss Song, I've watched the young master grow up. He has a sharp tongue but a kind heart. I'm very happy that you're engaged to him now."
Song Ge's intuition told her that Aunt Chen didn't really want to say this. "Aunt Chen, you can just be straight - forward." She said this again.
"Actually, it's nothing much. I just hope that you two will be together well in the future and tolerate each other." After saying this, Aunt Chen lowered her head, looking a bit self - reproachful. "I'm just a servant. I hope you don't mind my meddling."
Song Ge's smile reached her eyes. She took Aunt Chen's hand. "Of course not. Don't worry. We'll be fine."
In the evening, after Zhai Cheng came back, they boarded the plane to Provence and arrived there that night.
The next day, they went to the lavender fields and then visited the local famous scenic spots. They had a great time.
In the following days, their schedules were also full.
When Song Ge and Zhai Cheng boarded the plane back to China, Song Ge was still in a daze. She felt that all this was a bit unreal, and she always felt that it was the calm before the storm.
Zhai Cheng noticed that Song Ge was a bit absent - minded. He held her hand and asked with concern, "Are you not feeling well?"
Song Ge shook her head and tightened her grip on his hand.
Suddenly, Song Ge heard a voice, "There's only one recharge opportunity left."
She instinctively looked around and confirmed that there was no sound being played on the plane. She was extremely confused. Just as she was about to tell Zhai Cheng about this, the plane suddenly began to shake violently.
Zhai Cheng instinctively pulled Song Ge into his arms and comforted her. "It's okay. I'm here."
Song Ge, who had been a bit panicked, suddenly calmed down and clung tightly to Zhai Cheng.
The plane's shaking became more and more intense.
The people on the plane were in a panic.
"What's going on?"
"Are we going to die on this plane?"
The flight attendants on the plane quickly came out to calm everyone down. "Please remain calm. The plane has encountered an air current."
But there were still some people cursing. Everyone was worried about dying.
The flight attendant disappeared for a while and quickly came back with a bag of things in her hand. "The plane is out of control now. We have to parachute. Now we'll distribute a parachute to each person. Please put them on as soon as possible."
Everyone was afraid of death and rushed to get the parachutes.
Zhai Cheng successfully got two parachutes from the flight attendant and gave one to Song Ge.
For some reason, Song Ge was very panicked. She always felt that something was going to happen. But Zhai Cheng was very calm, as if he often experienced such things. He even helped Song Ge put on the parachute.
"Passengers who have put on the parachutes, please go to the door and jump out one by one."
The passengers jumped out of the plane one after another.
In the end, only Song Ge, Zhai Cheng, and the flight attendant were left.
The flight attendant checked Zhai Cheng's parachute and looked a bit panicked. "This parachute seems to be unable to open."
