Chapter 71 A Chaotic Date After Intimacy

Lin Chen gave an affirmative grunt and cooperatively sat up straight.

His eyes remained closed, but his mind couldn't help but wander into wild fantasies.

His fingertips subconsciously and gently stroked the edge of the bathtub.

The restlessness in his heart quietly resurfaced once more.

"Wait a moment for the scrubbing..."

But despite his words, Su Wan's slender fingers landed on his back.

As she gently scrubbed, her delicate, smooth skin occasionally and unintentionally brushed against his back.

That warm, soft sensation shot through his entire body like an electric current,

instantly shattering all of his psychological defenses.

In less than two minutes, the composure Lin Chen had been feigning had completely vanished without a trace.

Just then, with a splash,

the sound of water spraying suddenly rang out.

A soft, warm body slid into the bathtub unexpectedly,

pressing tightly against his back.

Lin Chen's body suddenly stiffened, and his breathing hitched for half a second.

The soft sensation and warm body temperature coming from his back

made the blood throughout his body feel as if it were boiling.

At first, he wanted to put on a show of restraint; his throat bobbed as he tried to say something,

but Su Wan's smooth skin was pressed against him, and her fingertips continued to gently scrub his back.

That delicate touch made it impossible for him to hold back any longer, and his true nature was fully revealed.

He abruptly turned around and reached out to gently pull Su Wan's waist into his arms.

A scorching light filled his eyes, and his voice was somewhat raspy,

tinged with urgency, as a wicked grin played on his lips:

"No, I can't hold back anymore!"

"How about I scrub you instead!"

Su Wan was startled by his sudden movement, and her cheeks instantly turned crimson,

like a ripe apple. Her eyes darted away,

not daring to meet his burning gaze. Her lips moved slightly,

but she didn't say a word. She simply gave a gentle nod.

Her body was slightly stiff, but she didn't push him away.

Looking at her bashful appearance, the smile on Lin Chen's face grew even more brilliant,

as tenderness and heat blended together in his eyes.

The sound of splashing water and soft whispers intertwined,

creating a playful and ambiguous atmosphere. The warmth of the shared bath

flowed slowly and spread wantonly within this hazy warmth.

The water in the bathtub sloshed violently, and the splashed droplets rolled down the porcelain walls,

forming a small puddle on the floor.

Su Wan leaned delicately in Lin Chen's arms.

Her hair, dampened by the steam, clung to her smooth shoulders.

Her voice carried the laziness and charm of someone who had just enjoyed intimacy as she complained coquettishly:

"Master, look, you've splashed away more than half the water in the tub."

Lin Chen lowered his head, his nose brushing against her reddened earlobe.

The delicate sensation of her skin still lingered on his palms, and his tone was full of lingering laziness and doting:

"Rest for a bit, catch your breath, and we'll continue in the bedroom later."

A night of passion, a scene of endless spring.

When the sky was just beginning to brighten,

Lin Chen finally lost all his strength and collapsed onto the soft, large bed.

His chest was still rising and falling slightly, and his eyelids were as heavy as lead.

He turned his head to look at Su Wan, who was breathing evenly beside him. His head was still in a daze,

and he thought to himself:

"The temptation of this maid is just too much; the aftereffects are actually this strong..."

"No wonder we only rested so late last night."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Wan moved slightly beside him.

Her eyelashes fluttered, and she opened a pair of watery, almond-shaped eyes.

With a look that was both sly and curious, she leaned close to his ear.

Her voice was as soft as cotton:

"Master, why do I feel like you're so experienced..."

"Did you use to do this often?"

Lin Chen was choked up by her question, then he scratched his head.

A somewhat proud yet slightly embarrassed smirk appeared on his face.

He chuckled twice,

his tone carrying a bit of showing off:

"Of course. The technical instructional films I've watched are more numerous than my actual combat experience,"

"my theoretical knowledge is incredibly rich!"

He reached out and pinched Su Wan's cheek, his tone becoming even more proud:

"And now, it's time to combine theory with practice."

"So..."

"I know a lot, right?"

"Were you satisfied just now?"

"I'm telling you, I still have many moves I haven't had time to use yet!"

But his voice grew weaker as he spoke. The fatigue from last night surged back like a tide.

Lin Chen felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Before he could finish his sentence,

his head tilted, and he fell directly into a deep sleep,

without even having time to pull up the covers.

The next day, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains,

falling onto the carpet and casting mottled shadows.

A sudden, urgent phone ring

rang out sharp and piercing, abruptly breaking the silence of the room.

Lin Chen was sleeping soundly and frowned at the noise.

He muttered impatiently and fumbled around the bedside table with bleary eyes.

It took him a while to find the vibrating phone. His voice was as raspy as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper:

"Hello... who is it?"

"It's early morning, so noisy."

A sweet yet somewhat urgent female voice immediately came from the other end,

her tone full of complaints:

"Lin Chen!"

"Where are you?"

"Didn't we agree long ago to meet at the school gate at nine o'clock today to go shopping and have fun together?"

"It's already exactly nine o'clock!"

"Why haven't you shown up yet?"

Boom!

Lin Chen's head instantly cleared. The remaining drowsiness was swept away, replaced by a heart full of panic.

He slapped his forehead hard,

cursing himself a thousand times in his heart:

"Oh no!"

"I played too hard with Su Wan last night and slept too late. I actually overslept!"

He dared not delay any longer and immediately opened his eyes.

He sat up abruptly, feeling a bit dizzy because he moved too fast.

He composed himself and, in a moment of quick thinking, deliberately softened his tone,

making up a seamless-sounding excuse, trying to sound natural:

"Oh... sorry, sorry,"

"I woke up early and came out first."

"I thought I'd go to the shopping center first to re-confirm the places we planned to visit, so we wouldn't have trouble with the crowds later."

Pausing for a moment, he added:

"I'll send you the location. Don't wait at the school gate,"

"just come straight here to find me. I'll wait for you here."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen let out a long sigh of relief, his back already covered in a thin layer of cold sweat.

Luckily he reacted quickly, otherwise, if Xia Wanrou and the others found out he had overslept, who knows how long they would tease him for.

Especially Xia Wanqing; she would probably roast him again.

He turned to look beside him. Su Wan was still sound asleep.

Her long eyelashes were like two small fans, and her skin had a faint pink glow in the morning light, looking well-behaved and alluring.

Lin Chen moved quietly and reached out to gently touch her cheek,

whispering:

"Wanwan, I have to go out and go shopping with my classmates. I'm leaving now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Wan slowly opened her eyes. There was still lingering sleepiness in them,

but they were instantly tinged with a bit of mischief. She leaned close to Lin Chen,

her nose almost touching his neck, and teased with a smile:

"From the sound of it, it's a sweet little girl, right?"

"Is Master going on a date with a little beauty?"

Lin Chen felt his cheeks warm up as she hit the nail on the head.

He turned his face away somewhat unnaturally and replied vaguely:

"What date? They're just classmates. We agreed to go shopping together."

Su Wan wasn't upset; instead, she reached out and hugged his waist,

her tone open-minded and carrying a hint of charm:

"Master, don't worry about me."

"It's normal for a man with strength to have many women around him,"

"but the premise is that you must make every woman devoted to you. That's a real man."

Lin Chen was stunned. He never expected Su Wan to be so open-minded, without a trace of being spoiled or jealous.

His gaze involuntarily drifted toward her slightly rising and falling chest.

His throat moved, and he thought to himself:

"Hmm... she's indeed 'open-minded,' and indeed alluring."
