Beichuan Lin, Shen Gu Chiharu, and Shen Gu Jiro were discussing the specifics of their engagement at home, while Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai were taking a slow stroll outside.

They walked forward without a specific destination. She walked alongside Beichuan Si, their hands not joined.

In this situation, Shen Gu Mirai didn't know what exactly she should say.

But she had to say something.

After all, Beichuan Si was not one who would initiate conversation.

Shen Gu Mirai carefully glanced sideways at Beichuan Si, wanting to speak—

"Speaking of which," Beichuan Si's even voice sounded, "I was also considering something just now."

"Mr. Temple... thinking about something? What is it?" Shen Gu Mirai blinked her large black eyes in confusion.

It was rare for Beichuan Si to actually start a conversation, which was quite unexpected.

Beichuan Si stopped walking, turning his head:

"I was considering how many children would be best."

Uh!!!

Under Beichuan Si's matter-of-fact tone, Shen Gu Mirai's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

How many children would be best?

That really was a question...

Looking at her own stomach, it took Shen Gu Mirai a while before she held up two fingers, saying seriously, "Two... what do you think, Mr. Temple?"

"Two... huh?" Beichuan Si looked thoughtfully at Shen Gu Mirai's stomach.

Under Beichuan Si's gaze, a blush crossed Shen Gu Mirai's fair and delicate face.

She unconsciously rubbed her stomach, muttering softly, "Because... it hurts."

Beichuan Si nodded, reached out to touch Shen Gu Mirai's head, saying in the same tone, "Then two it is."

After saying that, he continued to walk step by step.

Shen Gu Mirai walked beside Beichuan Si, but her large black eyes kept stealing glances at his palms.

Beichuan Si was clearly still thinking, and such subtle hints clearly couldn't attract his attention.

After about ten more seconds of unsuccessful hinting, Shen Gu Mirai puffed up her cheeks, stretched out her hands, and called, "Mr. Temple!"

"Hm?" Beichuan Si turned his head.

"Hand!" Shen Gu Mirai's pale hand waved slightly in front of her, adding another sentence, "Hold hands!"

When she said this, Beichuan Si understood Shen Gu Mirai's meaning.

He unhesitatingly grasped Shen Gu Mirai's small hand, the tender touch inadvertently making Beichuan Si's eyebrows twitch.

Shen Gu Mirai's face flushed as she interlocked her fingers with Beichuan Si's, her mood lifting.

Her eyebrows couldn't help but rise.

But even so, Shen Gu Mirai still felt it wasn't quite enough.

Just this... wasn't quite enough!

Shen Gu Mirai began to size up Beichuan Si.

And just as she was doing so, Beichuan Si, as if sensing her thoughts, suddenly said, "What are you thinking?"

It was Beichuan Si's style, straightforward and unpretentious.

Faced with such a boyfriend, Shen Gu Mirai's face turned a shade redder, and she couldn't help but scratch her fair and lovely cheek, "I was thinking... should we do something more that lovers do."

Indeed, since they had confirmed their relationship, Beichuan Si hadn't done much of anything to her, which left the ever-hopeful Shen Gu Mirai feeling inexplicably disappointed.

After all, the two of them were officially in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, more precisely on their way to becoming husband and wife, so shouldn't they be doing things that lovers do?

Things that lovers do?

As soon as Shen Gu Mirai said those words, Beichuan Si's gaze halted.

He glanced up and down at Shen Gu Mirai.

Although Shen Gu Mirai was only officially seventeen, she was fairly developed compared to girls her age.

But—

Beichuan Si shook his head: "You are still too young."

These words made Shen Gu Mirai unhappy.

The frankness of Beichuan Si pleased her, but what she was talking about had nothing to do with adult matters! The lover-like behaviors she referred to were at most kissing, holding hands, hugging each other, and that was all!

It wouldn't have been an issue even if Beichuan Si couldn't guess her thoughts, but he went so far as to say 'you're too young'.

What was that supposed to mean?!

Shen Gu Mirai felt her dignity as a woman was being insulted.

Even if she was indeed only sixteen years old, seventeen when counting by nominal age, there are things that simply shouldn't be said!

Shen Gu Mirai was about to retort in a huff, then she felt it.

Beichuan Si—

He had actually kissed her?!

Shen Gu Mirai let go of his hand, covering her cheeks with both hands, her face in shock as she pointed at Beichuan Si, her voice trembling: "Mr., Mr., Temple?! You—"

Facing Shen Gu Mirai's astonished expression, Beichuan Si simply retorted, "Isn't this what you wanted me to do? Since that's the case, there's no need to get angry or be surprised."

You're talking nonsense!

Shen Gu Mirai had wanted to scold Beichuan Si like that, but on second thought, what he said didn't seem wrong.

She did want Beichuan Si to kiss her, which was why she had brought up the subject, and now that Beichuan Si had done as she wished, shouldn't she be happy?

Thus, Shen Gu Mirai nodded firmly, "Exactly!"

Then she tiptoed, hands behind her back, and also planted a kiss on Beichuan Si's cheek.

Having completed the series of actions, Shen Gu Mirai also giggled twice: "This counts as tit for tat!"

She laughed merrily, hands behind her back, looking like a lively kingfisher.
