“Pervert…”
The young girl rose from the bed, her face flushed and her clothes in disarray.
Her collar had been pulled open, exposing her fair shoulders to the air. Red marks had already been left on her originally delicate skin, which glistened with a moist sheen. It was a suggestive sight that invited one’s imagination…
Lin Xinyuan hurriedly pulled her collar shut and clutched it tightly. Her gaze was filled with shyness as she shrank into the corner of the bed, terrified that the man would do something even more excessive.
Qin Nanfeng braced his hand against the wall behind her, blocking her path as he looked down at the girl.
His expression was gentle, but his deep eyes held a scorching temperature, as if he intended to scald the person before him. It was a stark, jarring contrast.
He didn’t care much about Lin Xinyuan’s insult. Instead, he muttered to himself, “Mm… Xiaoyuan’s taste…”
“It’s like eating cotton candy. So sweet and soft…”
The comment, which sounded like a gourmet food critique, was no different from a bolt from the blue to Lin Xinyuan. She froze on the spot, her mind crashing.
She lowered her small head, her mind a complete blank. Her petite body trembled, and her thighs rubbed together uncontrollably. For a moment, she couldn’t say a word, only able to let out an embarrassed whimper.
Looking at the girl’s extremely ashamed state, Qin Nanfeng’s expression grew even more delighted. This was the version of Lin Xinyuan he loved most.
‘She’s truly… too cute…’
‘So… how can I get the girl to agree on her own?’
‘I really want to…’
Thinking this, Qin Nanfeng narrowed his eyes. His gaze shifted constantly, yet a smile remained on his face as he reached out his hand toward her.
Caught off guard by the large hand, Lin Xinyuan jumped. Once she regained her composure, her cheeks burned even hotter. The scenes from a moment ago flashed through her mind. That strange sensation had left her almost unable to recover.
‘She felt shameful… even though she hadn’t drunk much water today…’
At the thought, her thighs felt even more restless. She desperately wanted to take a shower; that lingering chill was truly uncomfortable.
However, Lin Xinyuan could only stare blankly at that seemingly magical large hand, sinking into a silent struggle…
“Get up. We’ll go eat after we finish moving your things.”
After a short while, Qin Nanfeng finally spoke. Only then did she slowly come back to her senses.
“Oh… okay…”
Though shy, Lin Xinyuan obediently placed her hand in his broad palm. He gripped it firmly, and his immense strength slowly pulled her up.
—
Check-out.
Afterward, the two of them spent some time packing the girl’s belongings.
Aside from a monitor and a PC tower, she didn’t actually have many things. They finished packing quickly and even cleaned the room. Finally, they contacted the landlord.
Standing before the door, Lin Xinyuan stared at it, a trace of reluctance in her eyes.
She had lived here for less than one month, but while that time had held pain, it was equally significant to her…
If it hadn’t been for the pandemic and the school’s mandatory requirement for all students to stay in the dorms, she really wouldn’t want to leave.
After all, it was hard to find a house with low rent and a good environment…
Beside her, Qin Nanfeng had been watching the girl’s expression. His face remained unchanged as he silently glanced at the door. “Let’s go.”
“Okay, Brother Feng…”
The two left with the packed luggage. Once they exited the residential area, they put everything into the car’s trunk.
Getting into the car, Qin Nanfeng drove the girl out for a meal.
He knew Lin Xinyuan’s stubborn temper, so he didn’t head for any large restaurants or hotels. Instead, he chose a small eatery with affordable prices. Otherwise, the girl would try to transfer money to him again after the meal…
Lin Xinyuan quietly watched the scenery outside the window.
Compared to the previous semester, there were significantly fewer people outside now. Even if part of the reason was that the universities hadn’t officially opened yet, it still reflected the impact the pandemic had on society to some extent…
The black Audi traveled along the main road before merging onto a side road.
Soon, Lin Xinyuan noticed the road becoming worn and the houses by the roadside getting much shorter.
If the previous area was filled with skyscrapers, they were now entering what felt like an underdeveloped county town. This was despite the fact that they hadn’t been driving for very long…
A short while later, the car slowly pulled into a parking spot by the road.
“We’re here. Get out.” Qin Nanfeng quirked an eyebrow at the girl.
“Mm.”
Lin Xinyuan nodded. After getting out of the car, the young man took her small hand and led her further into an alleyway.
As they walked in, the occasional sound of children playing reached her ears, along with adults calling their kids for lunch.
Unlike the hustle and bustle of the city center, this place seemed as if it would always remain the same, without much change…
Before they knew it, they arrived at a small shop called Fulai Restaurant. Judging by the exterior decor, it seemed to have been around for quite a few years.
A piece of red paper was prominently posted next to the door. On it, Regular Script calligraphy written with a brush read: [During the pandemic, for your safety, please show your health code before entering the shop. Thank you for your cooperation.]
Seeing this, Qin Nanfeng didn’t stop. He led the girl straight inside.
Upon entering, Lin Xinyuan smelled a faint aroma of meat, causing her to swallow involuntarily.
After all, it was nearly 1:00 PM. She had only eaten a bit of soup noodles at home for breakfast, and by now, she was already famished. It was inevitable that her cravings would be stirred.
Even during these special times, there were still a few scattered tables of customers inside. A middle-aged woman sitting behind the counter stood up and approached them when she heard the movement.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the young man and woman. Although both were wearing masks and their faces weren’t visible, one could tell at a glance that they were definitely good-looking.
However, the woman couldn’t help but steal an extra glance at the young man, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar…
But she didn’t think too much of it. She had run this restaurant for many years, and most of her customers were people from the urban village.
She guessed that they might work in the city and were perhaps new tenants in the neighborhood…
In her Mandarin, which carried a local dialect accent, the middle-aged woman said to them somewhat apologetically, “Hello, guests. It’s like this: because it’s a special time right now, I still have to check your health codes. It’s for safety’s sake. Thank you for your cooperation!”
“Okay.” Qin Nanfeng’s eyes flickered as he and the girl cooperatively opened their health codes for the woman to see.
“…”
Hearing this voice, the woman looked puzzled and began to have doubts, but she maintained the principle of not being offensive and didn’t speak immediately.
Only after seeing that there were no issues with their health codes did she nod. “Go find a place to sit. I’ll get the menu for you.”
From the woman’s perspective, the two were definitely here for the first time. They weren’t regulars and weren’t familiar with the dishes here, so a menu was necessary.
Unexpectedly, the young man simply shook his head. “No need.”
Then he looked at the slender girl beside him. “Eating with me, or do you want to see the menu?”
“Whatever you eat, I’ll eat.”
Lin Xinyuan blinked her bright, almond-shaped eyes without any hesitation.
“Alright then.” Qin Nanfeng patted her small head, then looked back at the woman with a smile in his eyes. “Two portions of Bazhi Meat, one portion each of braised green peppers and braised eggs, oil-braised shrimp, and finally, a mutton soup.”
The woman had originally been watching their intimate interaction and marveling at how good their relationship was and how well-matched the couple seemed. Now, hearing the familiar dishes and that familiar male voice, her eyes widened suddenly.
“Xiao Feng?”
“Auntie Ping, I hope you’ve been well…”
