The two of them sat close together, and by accident, her foot brushed against his calf.
Shen Du felt the girl's foot was icy cold, so he bent his legs and placed both of her feet on his lap, hoping to warm them up quickly. After doing this, he fell silent.
Yao Nian slowly exhaled a breath.
She didn’t know how long it had been, but when the breathing beside her became steady, she quietly opened her eyes.
The man was lying on his side, his features obscured by the darkness. His jawline was smooth and defined, and the light that seeped through the curtain created a stark outline of his strong profile.
He radiated warmth, and without realizing it, Yao Nian inched closer to him. Gradually, she wrapped her arms around his waist.
It felt like embracing a human-shaped furnace. Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, the man suddenly grasped her restless hand.
In the next moment, Shen Du turned over, his heated breath brushing against her nose, followed by a heavy kiss that landed on her lips.
The force was stronger than any kiss before; their breaths intertwined, overwhelming all her senses with an electric thrill that coursed through her body.
It was a kiss deep enough to drown in. Shen Du's warm palm gradually slid down her back, a mix of restraint and intense desire.
Yao Nian felt the places he touched ignite with heat. The quiet room filled with subtle yet ambiguous sounds; in the confined space, a solid sensation surged from between their legs.
In a daze, she seemed to sense something and her body stiffened suddenly, her face flushing bright red.
Shen Du propped himself up on the edge of the bed, slightly lifting his head. His deep eyes were filled with longing as he watched the girl whose tightly closed eyelids trembled slightly from nervousness.
He let out a long sigh, lowered his head, and kissed her trembling eyelids before rolling back to his own side.
After a moment, Yao Nian spoke softly: "Are you...?"
Shen Du sighed again and replied in a tone full of helplessness: "I’m just a normal man."
Yao Nian's face turned crimson as she inexplicably recalled a discussion she had with Lin Mo and Fang Yi about human behavioral art. Even though she wasn’t fully prepared for this moment, it felt different because it was him.
She seemed willing.
In fact, before she could finish her sentence, Shen Du reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her tightly into his embrace. "Go to sleep."
That night, Shen Du hardly slept at all. No, it would be more accurate to say he endured a restless night. The young girl’s sleeping posture wasn’t bad, but she always liked to burrow into his arms. Her body was soft and fragrant, and eventually, Shen Du couldn’t take it anymore. In the middle of the night, he went to the bathroom for a shower to cool down the heat rising within him.
When Yao Nian woke up again, the other side of the bed was already empty.
As she walked into the living room, she caught a rich aroma of food wafting through the air. Glancing over, she saw that the dining table was already set with bowls and chopsticks.
She blinked in confusion at the time; unsurprisingly, she had slept until noon.
"Awake?" Shen Du looked up at her as he brought a bowl of pork and corn soup to the table. He had just finished washing up and was getting ready for lunch.
Yao Nian leaned closer to the table and inhaled deeply. "It smells so good! Did you go grocery shopping this morning?"
"Yes," Shen Du said, leaning in to pinch her cheek. "I can’t let my girl eat takeout every day."
She clicked her tongue and looked at the three dishes and a soup on the table, sighing, "I guess I should learn a few recipes too. Compared to you, I feel like a useless person."
Shen Du laughed. "What do you need to learn for? It’s enough to have one person in the house who can cook."
