221: Chapter 221 People's Hearts Are Yellow

It hadn't been easy, not easy at all; Lin Chuyan had finally managed to use the 001.

He glanced at the nightstand, where the small, blue square package lay torn and crumpled, a testament to just how urgent the user had been at the time.

Lin Chuyan held Ruan Xingyu in his arms, whispering sweet nothings, one sentence after another.

He didn't think too much about it; he just felt that a girl's emotions must be complicated at a time like this, and she might even be overthinking things, so he held her a little tighter.

Perhaps holding each other closer would offer some comfort.

Ruan Xingyu's fingertips traced patterns across his back, moving up and down, over and over.

"It tickles…" Lin Chuyan was squirming, but he didn't dare move.

Ruan Xingyu chuckled. "Suck it up. This is your punishment."

"Stop, stop, I can't, it really tickles…" Lin Chuyan begged for mercy. "Good girl, stop it, it tickles."

Ruan Xingyu pinched his waist. "Lin Chuyan, you're getting bold, aren't you? Calling me 'little sister' now."

"Huh? Wasn't it you who called me 'brother' just a moment ago?"

Reminded by him, Ruan Xingyu suddenly remembered.

It seemed that was indeed the case. At that moment, she didn't know why, but she couldn't help but start calling him "brother."

And it hadn't been just once; she'd called him that many, many times.

But she still had to play dumb. "That doesn't count. I wasn't thinking straight back then."

Lin Chuyan was currently in a "my girlfriend is always right" state, so he didn't argue. However, his back was truly unbearable, and after a while, he finally struggled to get up.

"I'm going to go take another shower…"

Ruan Xingyu grabbed him. "No."

Lin Chuyan looked vigilant. "What are you trying to do? I'm warning you, even if you want more, you have to let me rest for a few minutes first…"

Ruan Xingyu wanted to kick him across the room after hearing that, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. After struggling for a few seconds, she gave in and whispered in his ear, "I want a kiss."

Damn… He'd said such a shameless thing, and yet he was still getting a reward? It felt like those points in "Kissing Technique" hadn't been wasted after all.

Indeed, before their battle tonight, he had sneakily added points to his Kissing Technique—27 points all at once, rounding it up to a nice, even 50.

What can I say… It was worth it. So worth it.

He couldn't hold back. He couldn't hold back at all.

So, he pulled his hand away, grabbed the hands that had been wandering across his back, held them down, and kissed her again.

He indulged in the sweetness of the moment.

A few minutes later, Ruan Xingyu was lost in the moment again. Her breathing was unsteady.

"I can't…"

"Hmm?"

"Go take a shower, hurry."

"Hmm?"

Why was she chasing him away?

But looking at Ruan Xingyu's face, a blush had crept onto her cheeks at some point, and her eyes were brimming with emotion, even as her mouth spoke words of dismissal.

"Go, hurry up."

"Alright then…" Lin Chuyan got up. Just before leaving, he asked, "Do you want to come with me?"

Ruan Xingyu pulled the blanket up to cover her face, her voice muffled. "No, you go first."

Her mind raced: This guy, could he really stand before her naked and be this composed now? He was just relying on his good physique, wasn't he? He wouldn't come back naked too, would he?

While he was in the bathroom, she found her nightgown at the corner of the bed and quickly put it on.

Standing in the bathroom, Lin Chuyan instinctively tied a knot in the 001 before throwing it away. He then looked down at his lower body and washed away the traces of red.

After a quick rinse and drying himself off, he went back out, only to find Ruan Xingyu staring at him.

Let her stare; he was fearless.

He suddenly remembered the day before, when he'd felt shy just wearing a bath towel… Was this what growth felt like? Did men grow up this fast?

Besides, just being stared at like that—he didn't know why—but he felt like he was getting stirred up again.

Ruan Xingyu had originally intended to make fun of him and tease him a little, but she hadn't expected the man before her to be so far from calm. Instead, she was the one who felt shy.

Ruan Xingyu looked away and struggled to get out of bed to wash up.

"Ouch…"

"Let me help you…" Lin Chuyan caught her, then suddenly remembered something. "Will you still be able to go to Disney tomorrow…?"

Ruan Xingyu: "…"

As it turned out, the two of them hadn't even thought about it. From the moment they'd returned to the hotel room, their minds had been entirely preoccupied with lewd thoughts…

Disney what? What kind of Disney? It had been thrown to the back of their minds long ago.

Once they were back in bed, they started discussing excuses for the next day.

Lin Chuyan thought about it. "I'll just say I can't get up…"

Ruan Xingyu glared at him. "Did you forget what you told Wen Qi a few hours ago? 'I wake up at 5 every day,' 'I've developed a biological clock,' 'Maybe I should wake up even earlier.'"

Truly, one shouldn't go around bragging so casually.

The two of them thought about it for a long time, but realized any excuse sounded ridiculous, so they finally decided to stop thinking about it… Time to sleep! It was getting late, and with a beauty by his side, he couldn't waste his energy on this.

Besides, maybe they would feel much better by tomorrow morning?

Ruan Xingyu felt the same way. After some time had passed since their chaotic encounter, she felt quiet for a moment and realized she didn't feel quite as uncomfortable anymore. It wasn't a big problem!

…They didn't set an alarm either. A biological clock didn't exist for them.

The next morning at 7:30, they finally opened their eyes. They got up and washed up.

Ruan Xingyu walked around the room and hugged him from behind. "I think I'm okay now."

"Really?" Lin Chuyan turned around to hug her back. Suddenly, an idea struck him. He leaned into her ear, his lips deliberately brushing against her earlobe. "Then, how about…"

Ruan Xingyu lowered her head. "What time do you think it is? There's no time."

"There's time, there's plenty of time. We're already washed and ready; we can leave as soon as we change. Besides, it's only 8:15. We have fifteen minutes left. That's more than enough…"

As he spoke, his hands didn't stop moving.

"Mmm…" Ruan Xingyu didn't say anything; she just wrapped her arms around his neck and let him kiss her.

Morals were declining, and hearts were running wild. Having tasted the sweetness, they were unscrupulous.

There was no help for it; absolutely none at all.

Not long after, Lin Chuyan was once again walking down the shaded path.

…An hour later. The wind died down and the rain ceased. The two of them didn't even know how many times their phones had vibrated.

Ruan Xingyu opened WeChat.

Wen Qi: "Sis, I called you and Brother-in-law, but no one answered. I guess you two are busy. Brother Yue said we don't need to wait, so we're heading out. If you two want to come later, just send me a message and I'll come pick you up."

Lin Chuyan opened WeChat.

Xia Zhi: "Brother, uh, we're heading out. Let me know when you're done."

Wu Yue: "Rest well. Disney isn't that fun anyway."

Lin Chuyan replied to them separately: "Ate something bad last night. Feeling weak, can't walk. You guys have fun."

Xia Zhi: "Got it. Rest up if you're feeling weak."

Wu Yue: "I get it. It's normal not to be able to walk."

Lin Chuyan: …
