Chapter 238: Staying Out All Night
The unexpectedly inserted film shoot did not affect the four-person group's trip.
In the afternoon, the four-person group arrived at another scenic spot, "Guangxiang Jie," short for "Guangzhou Jie Hong Kong Street," which reflects Guangzhou in the mid-19th century and Hong Kong in the early 20th century.
Just after entering the scenic area, a thick, retro Hong Kong style rushed toward them; as the group wandered inside, any casual photo taken felt like a scene from a blockbuster movie.
At this moment, Yu Youwei's phone rang, and upon picking it up to look, her almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened.
She tapped rapidly on her phone screen with her fingers.
Then, looking at the three of them with a face full of gossip, she said, "You guys definitely don't know yet, Mingqing and Xiao Chuchu didn't return to the dormitory last night."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shanni and Wu Yue'er's bodies jolted.
They were all adults, and both of those two had boyfriends; what staying out all night meant went without saying.
Compared to the three women's turbulent inner states, Shen Yan appeared as calm as water; they were all young people, at an age when hormones were surging, so a slip-up was the most normal thing in the world.
What made one sigh with emotion was that university really was a paradise for falling in love; here, everyone's emotional world had not yet been eroded by the various disturbances of reality, and liking someone was just purely liking them—that was the most real feeling from the bottom of the heart, pure and beautiful.
Quietly, everyone was growing up rapidly.
The three women were there chattering away; Yu Youwei had conservative views and felt that this kind of behavior was not very appropriate, and that girls should protect themselves well when out.
How could one just give away their most precious thing so easily?
Wu Yue'er retorted: "It's not very appropriate to say 'easily'; there is a saying that when feelings reach a deep point, one cannot control oneself. As long as the feelings are in place, some things naturally fall into place."
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Shen Yan beside her.
This sentence was spoken from her own experience; at the time, she had clearly only wanted to kiss Shen Yan, but later, she didn't know how she had become like someone possessed, and it became impossible to stop.
A sentence echoed in her mind: "Even if it cannot last forever, one must have once possessed it."
Yu Youwei curled her lips: "You've never even been in a relationship, what the hell do you know about feelings reaching a deep point? That was clearly just an impulsive act."
Wu Yue'er couldn't be bothered to argue with her and turned her head to look at Chen Shanni, but the words that had just reached her lips were swallowed back down; with the goody-two-shoes personality she had, asking would be a waste of time, as she probably had never even thought about such things.
However, one thing was certain: the goody-two-shoes liked Shen Yan, and given Shen Yan's wolf-like nature, if the two of them got together, Wu Yue'er had no doubt that the goody-two-shoes would be trained into doubting her life in minutes.
Her brain would be a mess, left to be manipulated.
All restraint and morality would be thrown to the back of her mind.
Don't ask her how she knew; it was just that in that kind of situation, Shen Yan's gaze would become both pure and lustful, with sexual tension maxed out, making one unable to control oneself.
And there was Yu Youwei; don't look at how this girl spoke so eloquently, when the time came, she probably wouldn't be any better than the goody-two-shoes.
The reality was just as Wu Yue'er thought; Chen Shanni had never considered matters between men and women, feeling that such things were too far away.
But at this very moment, with two living examples beside her, Chen Shanni suddenly realized that in ancient times, women were already married by the age of twelve or thirteen, and looking at the modern era, at her age, there were many who were already mothers.
Unaccountably, Shen Yan's figure appeared in her mind, along with images of the two of them entangled...
In an instant, Chen Shanni's face turned as red as a midsummer fruit, bright and alluring; how could it be like this, how could she be so dirty.
Actually having lewd thoughts...
Chen Shanni shook her head violently, shaking off this thought that shouldn't exist.
"Hey! Shanni, what are you doing!"
Hearing someone calling her, Chen Shanni subconsciously raised her head, and immediately met three pairs of surprised eyes.
The one asking was Shen Yan.
Chen Shanni hurriedly looked away, her cheeks flushed red, and even her earlobes were burning hot; she gripped the corner of her clothes tightly with her small hands and said stumblingly, "N-nothing, just thought of something."
"Shanni, you're acting weird; you wouldn't be thinking about that kind of shameful thing, would you?" A trace of a mischievous smile flashed in Yu Youwei's eyes.
The blush on Chen Shanni's face deepened a bit more, and she said she wasn't; Yu Youwei felt Chen Shanni's blushing was particularly cute and couldn't help but tease her a few more times.
This made Chen Shanni shy and annoyed, so she went to tickle Yu Youwei.
"Giggle!"
"Don't! It's so ticklish!"
"See if I don't tickle you!"
On the bustling Guangxiang Jie, the two women played around in a tangle; their pure and refined appearances, along with their silver-bell-like laughter, caused passersby to look over frequently.
Suddenly, Shen Yan felt his face being ambushed; he turned his head and discovered Wu Yue'er looking at him with charming, sidelong glances, her delicate red lips coated in crystal-clear lip gloss.
Reaching out to wipe his face, Shen Yan asked, "What do you want to do again?"
Wu Yue'er's eyes showed anticipation as she said, "Hubby, let's ditch them both in a while and secretly find a place to go on a date, okay?"
At this moment, Wu Yue'er regretted it immensely; why had she agreed to come on this trip with Chen Shanni? Otherwise, she could have been alone with Shen Yan for three days, walking hand in hand without any worries.
How comfortable that would have been!
Shen Yan said, "Ditch them? Why ditch them? Isn't it pretty good as it is now?"
"What's good about it? Two big lightbulbs shining brightly, it's not even convenient to talk; let's go, let's go, let's go have a world for two in secret." Wu Yue'er pulled on Shen Yan's sleeve and twisted back and forth, her tone soft and sweet.
However, no matter how she acted like a spoiled child, Shen Yan did not agree; Shen Yan grabbed that slender hand, interlaced his fingers with hers, and said softly, "Be good, Hubby will take you to see goldfish later."
Wu Yue'er couldn't help but giggle when she heard this, "Are the goldfish big? If they aren't big, I'm not looking."
"Both big and long, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Looking at the mischievous smile hanging on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, Wu Yue'er understood in a second; her eyebrows revealed ten thousand kinds of charm, and her eyes were filled with water, like the autumn sky, charming and moving.
"Then let's go quickly, I'm already impatient."
Although she was defeated and left in shambles every time, Wu Yue'er still enjoyed it tirelessly.
The taste of it was not something that could be told to outsiders.
Shen Yan pinched her cheek and only said, "There will be a time when you cry."
The four-person group walked and stopped in the scenic area, and when they felt tired, they stopped to taste the food: Hong Kong-style egg waffles, taro ball grass jelly, beef offal stew, and the large-scale film stunt water battle performance "Rage of the Sea."
It brought a thrilling and exciting visual feast.
The warm sun cast down golden brilliance, the breeze was not dry, and in the quiet afternoon, the years were peaceful.
In the evening, Shen Yan received a call from Xu Zheng, asking him to come over to finalize the contract details.
