252: Iron pestle ground into needle

Lin You walked to Du Zhaoyu's side, holding a cylindrical can of honeysuckle in his hand, and an unidentified rectangular object in his pants pocket... Du Zhaoyu glanced at it lightly, then quickly averted her gaze. This... she had seen it at the supermarket checkout counter, almost identical in size and shape... The two held hands again and resumed their "zombie foraging" walk, arriving at the residential complex a few minutes later.

Lin You had recently subtly inquired and learned about Tang Zhenyi's general daily routine.

On weekdays from Monday to Friday, Tang Zhenyi would nap in the lab during the day and return to her two-person graduate student dorm at night. She had a good relationship with her roommate and was very happy to stay in the dorm.

On weekends, Tang Zhenyi would only come to stay overnight occasionally when she went out to play.

And today happened to be a weekday, so there was no possibility of being disturbed by senior sister Tang Zhenyi. It could be said that everything was ready except for... Lin You led Du Zhaoyu upstairs and into the house.

Upstairs, open the door, enter the house, then open the bedroom door, enter the room.

Lin You looked at Du Zhaoyu beside him, his throat felt a bit dry, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva before feeling slightly relieved.

Lin You patted the bed and said nervously, "Xiao Yu'er, sit down. I'll go to the living room to get you something to drink. Do you want iced cola or iced water?"

Lin You had no intention of testing her... As her boyfriend, he was very clear about Xiao Yu'er's menstrual cycle.

Du Zhaoyu nervously took two steps inside, then turned back with a blush and said, "I'll have iced water, but... I've worn this skirt outside, so it might not be very clean to sit on the bed..."

Lin You glanced at Du Zhaoyu's outfit today, which was still a short-sleeved T-shirt and a long skirt. His mind was like mush, and he subconsciously blurted out, "Then take off your skirt and sit on the bed."

Du Zhaoyu's eyes widened, looking at Lin You in disbelief, and only then did Lin You realize what he had just said... "Pia!"

Lin You slapped his mouth hard, "That's not what I meant, I meant... it's okay, just sit wherever you like!"

Lin You quickly turned and walked out of the room, hurrying away from the "place of trouble" to the refrigerator in the living room to get cola and water, and incidentally pulled out a piece of gum he had bought at the supermarket yesterday from his pocket and chewed it.

Xiao Chunnan's heart was restless!

In the room, Du Zhaoyu covered her burning face, unsure how to compose herself.

Before coming, Du Zhaoyu had planned to help Lin You tidy up the house. She knew that Professor Zheng valued Lin You greatly, and Lin You would most likely study at Nandu University until he got his doctorate, so this room would be lived in for a long time.

She also wanted to accompany Lin You through his doctorate at Nandu University. This place could almost be considered Lin You's little nest, so it would naturally be a place she frequented.

Lin You had lived in this room for almost a week. Although he hadn't stayed here in the past few days, the previous traces hadn't disappeared.

On the table were his used stationery, open books, and manuscript paper covered with writing. On the bed was a blue quilt, not neatly folded.

She had helped him pick out the quilt online; it was printed with various Pokémon patterns. The pillow was a pillow with Angewomon patterns, which Lin You insisted on keeping to himself.

She was willing to be intimate with Lin You here, but she was somewhat reluctant to completely give herself up in this place... A hotel, her own rented apartment, or her own home, those places at least temporarily belonged to her or partially belonged to her.

She was a girl who liked to read romance comics, and of course, she had her own sense of ritual in her heart.

It was just that she knew her boyfriend's heart was burning with passion, and if she rejected him poorly, pouring cold water on him, what if... he became sad or heartbroken? Although she knew Lin You wasn't such an unreasonable person, what if?

She called Lin You Treasure You, naturally treating him as a precious treasure with all her heart, willing to care for his every little happy or sad thought.

After an unknown amount of time of internal struggle, Du Zhaoyu heard the sound of the closed bedroom door opening from the outside and quickly sat up straight from Lin You's chair.

Lin You walked directly to Du Zhaoyu's side. Feeling Du Zhaoyu's nervousness, Lin You smiled and brought out the hand he had held behind his back.

"Here, drink some water. The hotpot at noon was heavy on oil and salt; I'm still a bit thirsty now."

Du Zhaoyu took the water, gently unscrewed the cap that Lin You had already loosened, and smiled happily, "Then next time let's find a lighter restaurant. I've been looking at a lot of fun places and restaurants in the city in my spare time from studying. There's a vegetarian restaurant with very high ratings, right at the foot of the mountain..."

Watching Du Zhaoyu speak volubly, the restlessness in Lin You's heart gradually subsided.

Du Zhaoyu regarded Lin You as a treasure, and Lin You, who had seen Du Zhaoyu's memory fragments, regarded her even more as a rare treasure, a person he could not have originally obtained, whom Heaven had granted him the opportunity to "re-possess."

On the day Lin You and Xiao Yu'er became a couple, he was willing to give her enough sense of ritual to make her remember that precious moment.

Similarly, at this moment, he was also unwilling to let Du Zhaoyu casually give herself up in a room without a sense of ritual.

This was not a suitable place... It was merely a dormitory temporarily provided by Professor Zheng to his disciple, and there was a risk of being disturbed by his senior sister returning.

Lin You had no intention of pushing Du Zhaoyu down here; otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed last night to go to East University to find Xie Xingmeng tonight.

It's just... he was still a hot-blooded 19-year-old college student, and occasionally being overcome by lust was excusable.

"Xiao Yu'er, you're so good."

"Treasure You, you're the good one."

"You're the best!"

"You're the very best!"

When in love, both parties often become very childish.

The next second, Du Zhaoyu's eyes widened, and Lin You in her pupils grew larger and larger.

"Mmm mmm mmm mmm..."

After a long while, as Du Zhaoyu was getting dizzy from the kissing, she felt Lin You lift the T-shirt tucked into her skirt, and his right hand prepared to explore upwards.

Du Zhaoyu temporarily sobered up, sighing slightly in her heart. Although... but, if it was Lin You... she would let him... Lin You struggled for a long time but couldn't unfasten it. Before, he had only explored through the cumbersome layers, and his experience was truly lacking. In the movies he watched, the seniors always seemed to unfasten it effortlessly.

Two minutes later, in a fit of annoyance, Lin You simply pushed it up.

《Cave Immortal Song》by Su Shi.

Icy skin and jade bones, naturally cool without sweat. Wind from the water pavilion brings a faint warm fragrance.

A moment later, Lin You lay on his back on the bed, turning Du Zhaoyu's body sideways to hold her in his arms. The two were pressed together, their heavy breathing like a symphony playing.

Du Zhaoyu wasn't foolish. Although Lin You was much more unrestrained than before, he was also very restrained. She understood that her lover was thinking the same thing as her, accommodating her girlish heart.

"Treasure You~~~"

Du Zhaoyu's sickly sweet voice sounded, "If you really want to... I'm willing to be with you anywhere..."

Lin You immediately sat up, looked at the disheveled Xiao Yu'er, and quickly picked up the iced water from the bedside table, gulping down several large mouthfuls.

Hmph! Demoness! Don't even think about disturbing my dao heart!

Lin You turned his head to look at Du Zhaoyu.

"Did you bring the black stockings you mentioned yesterday?"

"I did... they're in my small crossbody bag."

"Put them on! Let your lord see your legs!"

"Yes, my lord~"

"And! Do you know what an ancestral skill is?!"

"Ye-yes, I do."

A few minutes later, Lin You recalled his elementary school lesson and, like Li Bai, observed the grinding of an iron rod into a needle for half an hour.
