Chapter 35: Hush! Close Your Eyes  

The fact that he was open to this meant that the possibility of him granting permission was very real.

She would agree to whatever conditions he had. “Tell me, I promise you I’ll adhere to all of them.”

Fu Tingyu’s eyes darkened at her swift and unthinking response. “You’re not allowed to stay in campus housing, you’re not allowed to go near other guys, and if you don’t qualify for Imperial College this time, you’ll be banned from going back to school ever again.” He approached her and with a soft voice. “Babe, do you understand me? This is your last chance.”

If there was no improvement in her academic results this time, it would mean that she had some ulterior motive for wanting to go back to school.

However, if she managed to excel this time and achieve her goals, this would indicate the possibility of another reason.

Qin Shu felt slightly helpless when she heard the man’s tyrannical requests, but she found herself nodding her head in agreement. “I promise I can meet your conditions and achieve excellent academic results for you, baby. I won’t let you down,” she declared.

Fu Tingyu gazed deeply at the girl before him making such a solemn vow. It would be ideal if his babe could maintain this behavior all the time. Even if she was lying, she should not let him find out about it, otherwise...

Qin Shu took his hand and stared unblinkingly at him with wide, bright eyes. “Are you sleeping in the study again tonight?” she asked.

Fu Tingyu collected his thoughts and swept his gaze over the marks on her collarbones. His eyes landed on her. “Babe, do you really want me to stay?”

Qin Shu nodded, “I do.”

Fu Tingyu stared at her for some time before he murmured, “Sure.”

Qin Shu’s eyes lit up when she heard Fu Tingyu agree to her request. She tugged at his arm and urged him, “In that case, you better hurry up and take a shower. It’s best to have an early night.”

Fu Tingyu gazed deeply at her. Seeing her enthusiasm, he had no choice but to bring a fresh set of clothes into the bathroom.

Qin Shu’s heart was stirred. Being able to finally share the same bed was a good start.

She believed that one day, Fu Tingyu would believe that she genuinely loved him and would never leave him.

...

The bathroom door opened with a creak. Fu Tingyu emerged in a bathrobe with the sash knotted loosely around his waist and water droplets clung to the tips of his hair.

Qin Shu approached him, her gaze landed on his chest. As he wore a bathrobe, she could not see his naked body. A few days had passed since she last saw his wound and she wondered if it had gotten any better.

“How is your injury? Is it any better? Who did this to you?” she asked.

She would make the perpetrator pay tenfold for what he did once she discovered his identity.

Fu Tingyu took her hand, bent over, and whispered, “Babe, didn’t you say that we should have an early night?”

When he got near her, his distinct scent wafted into her nose. It made Qin Shu’s heart skip a beat, “Yeah, you’re right. Let’s go to sleep. We have an early day tomorrow.”

Since he was unwilling to talk to her about it, she would wait until tomorrow and ask the rascal, Fu Tingyan, about it. She was certain that he would tell her.

Fu Tingyu turned off the main light in the bedroom, leaving only the bedside lamp on, which made the room get much darker.

Qin Shu found her heart started to pound at that moment, as she was both excited and nervous, even though she did not know what she was nervous about.

“Babe, why are you just standing there?” Fu Tingyu asked in a low voice.

“I’m moving now.” Qin Shu shrank back slightly as she prepared to move toward him.

However, Fu Tingyu grabbed her wrist. “Babe, let’s blindfold you.”

His voice was deep and low. While he spoke, he reached toward the bedside table and picked up the tie he had worn earlier. Just like the previous time, he wrapped it around her eyes and knotted it at the back of her head.

Qin Shu was stunned, unable to comprehend his intention behind blindfolding her.

The last time he did this while they were on the island was because he wanted to give her a surprise.

Did he intend to do the same this time?
