Chapter 206 Little Thoughts

The two walked side by side along the shaded path of the residential area,

snuggling close to each other. Neither of them spoke, but the sweetness in the air was about to overflow.

[Ding! Host, please take note. Chen Qian's current favorability is 92 and is continuing to rise! It is recommended that the Host seize the opportunity and take the initiative.]

The system's notification sounded again. The smile on Lin Chen's face grew wider,

and he tightened his grip on Chen Qian's hand, quickening his pace slightly.

He couldn't wait to bring Chen Qian to his home and start their sweet night together.

As for Chen Qian, being led by Lin Chen, she felt both nervous and expectant. She could feel Lin Chen's intentions,

and she was also clear about her own feelings for Lin Chen. Perhaps tonight would be a different kind of night...

"Lin Chen! Why are you walking so slowly?"

"Dilly-dallying like this, I was worried I wouldn't make it back to the academy dormitory in time!"

Chen Qian frowned, her toes tapping the ground incessantly, her tone carrying a hint of frantic urgency as she tightened the grip on the small bag on her shoulder.

This was her first time coming out with Lin Chen, so she felt a bit uncertain.

The thought of the dormitory closing at eleven made her even more anxious.

Lin Chen's mouth twitched secretly, and he laughed to himself:

"It's only right to be in a hurry. If you weren't, how could I naturally keep you here?"

On the surface, however, he pretended to have a realization and quickly quickened his pace, his tone exceptionally sincere:

"Right, right, right! I'll be faster, faster!"

"Look, it's already ten o'clock. The dormitory closes at eleven, and it takes an hour to get back. If we head back now, we definitely won't make it!"

He spoke with a straight face, his eyes not even wavering.

In reality, he knew perfectly well that a normal trip back only took twenty to thirty minutes. It had only taken nearly two hours earlier because of a traffic jam.

But this was Chen Qian's first time here; how could she know the exact distance?

Fooling her with these words was as easy as pie.

{Flirting Technique: To achieve your goal in flirting, you must be able to tell white lies with a straight face—three parts truth and seven parts lies—to make the other person believe you completely.}

As expected, Chen Qian panicked. Her eyes instantly became flustered, her small hands gripped the corner of her clothes, and her voice softened:

"Then... then what should I do?"

"Where will I sleep tonight?"

Lin Chen's gaze unconsciously swept over the fullness of her chest. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he swallowed hard.

While he was calculating rapidly in his mind, his face wore a gentle smile as he ruffled her hair:

"Silly girl, aren't we here to see my new house?"

"Could I possibly lack a room for you to stay in?"

"There are several rooms inside. When the time comes, you can sleep in the master bedroom; it's spacious and comfortable."

Chen Qian's face turned beet red instantly. Her heart felt like a panicked little deer,

thumping wildly, and even her voice became hesitant:

"Huh?"

"I... I'm sleeping in the master bedroom?"

"That's not very good, is it..."

She stole a glance at Lin Chen, then quickly lowered her head, her heart beating so fast it felt like it would jump out.

Staying alone with a boy, and in the master bedroom at that—just thinking about it made her shy.

Lin Chen didn't give her a chance to hesitate. He reached out and took her hand,

his fingertips intentionally brushing against her palm as he led her toward the elevator:

"What's not good about it?"

"Look, I've already met your parents. What's mine is yours, right?"

"I can't let you stay in a hotel when there's a home available, can I?"

"If your parents found out, they'd skin me alive!"

As he spoke, he intentionally furrowed his brows, putting on a wronged expression as if he were truly afraid of being disciplined by his Parents-in-law. His acting was more real than the truth.

Chen Qian was amused by his appearance and let out a "pfft,"

unable to stop herself from laughing. Most of her previous panic and shyness dissipated,

and she gave him a light pat:

"Keep acting!"

"Fine, fine. Since you've put it that way and we really can't make it back to the dorm, I'll just have to sleep here."

"It's just... this is my first time staying away from the dormitory alone,"

"When I go back tomorrow, the girls in my dorm will definitely tease me to death!"

She pouted with annoyance, but there was no real anger in her eyes; instead, there was a hint of hard-to-detect expectation.

"Ding-dong..."

The elevator doors happened to open. Lin Chen stepped out first and stood to the side waiting for her,

introducing the place while naturally placing his arm around her waist in an intimate gesture:

"Look, this building has two elevators and two units per floor. There's even a fire door between the units that's usually closed. The privacy is excellent; no one will disturb us."

He pulled out his keys and opened the door with a "click," making a "please" gesture,

his tone carrying a bit of smugness: "Please come in, my Eldest Miss Chen."

Chen Qian walked through the door, glanced at him, and teased with a smile:

"Oh? You're learning some gentlemanly manners now?"

Lin Chen closed the door behind her, a wicked smile playing on his lips as he muttered to himself:

"Gentleman? That's only so I can eat the meat tonight!"

"If I don't serve you well now, I'm afraid you'll run away."

"Once I have you, I won't be so polite anymore. Won't I be able to do whatever I want then?"

As soon as she entered, Chen Qian was stunned by the living room before her. Her eyes widened,

and she couldn't help but exclaim:

"Wow!"

"Lin Chen, your living room is way too big!"

"A normal person's entire house is probably only as big as your living room, right?"

She took Lin Chen's hand and eagerly walked toward the various rooms, marveling as she went:

"There... there are actually five rooms?"

"Every room is so big, and the decoration is so beautiful. This must be four or five hundred square meters, right?"

Lin Chen followed behind her, his gaze constantly glued to her swaying figure, especially the softness of her chest.

Hearing her question, he nodded absentmindedly:

"It really is big!"

"Yeah, 545 square meters. It's not that big!"

Chen Qian sighed with genuine emotion, reaching out to touch the decorative paintings on the wall, her eyes full of envy.

Lin Chen stared at her chest, his Adam's apple bobbing again, as he repeated in a low voice:

"It really is big."

Seeing Chen Qian turn to look at him, he immediately changed the subject, his tone casual yet slightly boastful:

"The renovation cost ten million. Everything was done according to the most comfortable standards."

Chen Qian was startled and turned to glare at him:

"It cost that much? You're way too extravagant!"

When they reached the master bedroom, Chen Qian fell in love with the room at first sight and said with a smile:

"This bedroom is so spacious; it's great. There's even a dressing table; it's exactly what I like."

She leaned toward the dressing table, intending to check the mirror, but suddenly paused. Pointing at a Hairclip on the surface, she asked in confusion:

"Huh?"

"Why is there a Hairclip here?"

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat instantly broke out.

"Oh no!"

"This must have been left behind by Su Wan after we were intimate in this room a few days ago!"

His mind raced, but his face remained calm, even showing a look of sudden realization:

"Oh, that? When I went to Hong Kong on business last time, I saw it and thought it looked nice, so I bought it for my mom. It's been sitting here, and I forgot to put it away."
