What caught my eye was pitch black, and there was no light on in the room, but she could still feel that there should be someone beside her bed.

"...Jun Jinyan?" Xia Qi shouted hesitantly.

No one answered her in the quiet room. It was as if all this was just her illusion.

Xia Qi sat up, reached forward and touched her, but she didn't touch anything, so she simply turned over and got out of bed, intending to go to the switch and turn on the light. As a result, she took a few steps and seemed to have touched something.

She was about to trip, but suddenly her waist was wrapped around her arm, which made her body pause and avoided the fate of falling.

"Jun Jinyan?" Xia Qi asked again.

However, the owner of this hand did not answer her, but just supported her body and allowed her to stand firm.

Xia Qi pursed her lips, suddenly stretched out her hand, and along her waist, she fumbled the other person's shoulders, then the neck, and then... she tiptoed and touched the other person's face.

Her fingers, along the outline of his face, touched the eyebrows, eyes, nose bridges...and lips! And he just stood quietly, allowing her fingers to stroke every inch of his skin.

It’s Jun Jinyan! This familiar touch and breath make her understand who the person standing in front of her is!

"Why don't you make a sound?" Xia Qi asked, putting down her hand.

In the darkness, she couldn't see his expression clearly, but could feel that he was looking at her.

After a long time, when Xia Qi thought Jun Jinyan would not answer, a cold voice suddenly rang out in a hoarse voice, "What do you want me to say?"

"How long are you going to lock me up here?" she asked.

"Just pass tonight," he replied, suddenly holding her up in the darkness and walking towards the bed.

When Xia Qi was walking by herself, she was exploring slowly along the way and almost fell down. However, Jun Jinyan was holding her and walking, which could be described as a meteor. In just a few steps, she walked to the edge of the bed.

"You sleep well, I'll take you back to school tomorrow." As he said that, he put down her and lifted up the thin quilt to cover her.

Feeling that Jun Jinyan seemed to be leaving, Xia Qi suddenly grabbed his wrist, "Wait! I think we need to have a good talk."

"No matter what you talk about, the result will not change. If you really get pregnant with Yun, we will get married. If not..." His voice paused, and suddenly leaned down, touching Xia Qi's lips, "I want you to marry me too!"

She was shocked! Her lips were burning but also seemed to be cold.

"Marry...you?"

"Yes, Qiqi, I want to marry you, you should be mine." He said.

"But I haven't..." She was halfway through her words, and his lips were completely blocked. He kissed her hard, stopping her from continuing.

His slender fingers were inserted into her hair, and he held the back of her head with his right hand, leaning against her ear and said, "Don't say anything."

She was like a fish that was hypoxia, her lips opened and closed, "Jun Jinyan... can't you respect me? I'm not your toy, not what you want, and I have to act accordingly if I say something!"

For the past three days, the depression, frustration and the uncertainty that she had been locked in the house and the uncontrollable sense of her life made Xia Qi burst out suddenly.

Because in the darkness, he could not see his face, but instead asked her to say all these things she didn't dare to say, "If you say you are dating, you must date. If you say you are not allowed to take yun medicine, I can't take it. Even if you say you want to get married, I can only get married?"

He suddenly hugged her in his arms, "I didn't treat you as a toy!" If it were really just a toy, he could easily destroy it or find another one. How could he have so much fear, anxiety, and... because of her, he couldn't tell what he was attached to.

"But what you did was to treat me as a toy!" She clenched her hands into a fist shape, constantly pounding his chest, struggling to leave his arms. But whenever her body was slightly distanced, he would push her back into her arms again.

This was repeated until Xia Qi was so tired that she was out of breath and no longer had the strength to struggle.

"I didn't treat you as a toy! Never!" Jun Jinyan repeated the sentence word by word in Xia Qi's ear, "Qiqi, don't reject me, I will not be able to bear it."

"So, I can't refuse you at all, right?" she asked back.

He hugged her arms tightened again, "Yes, you can't." A cold voice, like an ice cone, pierced into her eardrums.

"Unless I die, or - we die together." He said.

And at this moment, she suddenly felt a chill coming from her spine.

Perhaps because of autism, his paranoia had a pathological condition that had always scared her. Even though his illness has recovered now, this paranoia has not changed at all.

She once thought that perhaps dating her could slowly change this paranoia, but now she was wondering if she was thinking too naively. His paranoia was actually not something she could change easily.

Early the next morning, Jun Jinyan drove Xia Qi's school. Along the way, the car was quiet and no one spoke. Until the car drove to the school gate of K University, when Xia Qi opened the door and was about to get off, Jun Jinyan suddenly reached out and grabbed Xia Qi, "Are you planning not to talk to me again?"

She bit her lip uncomfortably and said, "No!"

"Do you remember the saying that when you were a child, any baby is a gift from God?" he said suddenly.

Xia Qi was stunned for a moment before remembering that she had indeed said this to him. It was when she was still in kindergarten. Because of her mother's instructions, she had to hang out with Jun Jinyan all day long. But he was the Prime Minister for taking up almost all her time. Later, she was so annoyed that she pushed him away very hard and said loudly, "I don't like you, don't play with you."

As a result, Jun Jinyan asked her pitifully, was it because he was sick that she didn't like him?

At that time, she learned from his mouth that the disease was autism, and from the mouths of adults, the person who had this disease was unwilling to talk and play with others, and she was the exception.

At that time, she suddenly felt a little sympathetic to him, so she comforted him, "Any baby is a gift from heaven and earth, this is what my mother said! Like me, although there is no dad, I am the gift from God to mommy. Although you are sick, you must be the gift from God to your dad and mommy."
