Chapter 531: Just a Little Touch

Uh...

The unexpected remark left Shen Yan stunned, and only then did he remember that Yin Yezi was a computer science major.

"A ten-thousand-foot tower rises from the ground; you're only a freshman, you should first study the knowledge in your textbooks and build a solid foundation. You aren't suited to touch upon overly profound technology right now."

"Don't look down on people!" Yin Yezi hummed with dissatisfaction.

"As for the knowledge in those textbooks, I can learn it just by glancing at it."

"Oh!"

Seeing the confident expression on that pretty face in the rearview mirror, Shen Yan couldn't help but be a bit surprised: "They say daughters take after their fathers; it seems you've inherited Uncle Chen's talent."

"That's right!"

Like a child receiving praise from an elder, Yin Yezi lifted her chin triumphantly.

"Alright! I'll ask around for you later. Which direction are you most interested in?"

"Software development!" Yin Yezi said with a resonant tone.

Having witnessed tonight's era-transcending product launch, she felt as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun; her small world, previously constrained by limited horizons, was thoroughly opened up, and a dream was born—to personally develop a piece of software that would become a nationwide hit.

Shen Yan nodded to show he understood.

The autumn wind passed by, and time flowed on.

Before one knew it, the height of summer had quietly slipped away, and the air in Shanghai was permeated with a hint of chill. Upon returning to the Chen residence at Tomson Riviera, Wei Wenli, who had arrived home first, was already there arranging a celebratory banquet.

After exchanging greetings, Chen Shanni pulled Shen Yan into her room.

"Bang!"

The door closed, and the air instantly became ambiguous.

Eyes met, silhouettes intertwined; one arm wrapped around a slender waist, the other circled a nape. The moment their lips touched, the two were like dry wood meeting a raging fire—igniting at a single touch.

Rapid, heavy breathing echoed throughout the room.

"Don't! Someone will find out."

The two leaned against the bedroom door. Chen Shanni pressed down on the large hand that had snaked under the hem of her chiffon blouse and was wandering wantonly. The rough texture of that large hand held an indescribable magic, causing all the strength in her body to drain away at once.

"I'm just touching, what did you think I wanted to do?" Shen Yan gently bit her earlobe.

"Mmm~~"

Chen Shanni let out a soft moan, her eyes gradually overflowing with an unquenchable moisture.

Under the dim, yellow light, the two stood there entangled for who knows how long, until a knock sounded at the door...

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Sister, Mom asked me to bring some fruit over."

It was Yin Yezi's voice.

The two inside the bathroom felt their bodies and minds tremble, their reason returning from the abyss of desire.

"Yezi is here!" Chen Shanni shyly pushed at the head in front of her and hurriedly pulled down the hem of her chiffon blouse that had been hiked up high. In her flustered state, she couldn't even fasten her undergarment, so she had to stuff it into Shen Yan's pocket.

Shen Yan found this scene incredibly amusing.

It earned him another look full of coquettish charm, giving him the urge to take Chen Shanni right then and there.

"Come in!"

Having consciously tidied herself up, Chen Shanni called out, feigning composure.

When Yin Yezi opened the door and entered, she saw the two standing in front of the window, facing the Huangpu River, gazing into the distance at the surging, rolling river water.

"Sister, why is your face so red?"

After setting down the fruit platter, Yin Yezi looked at the two suspiciously: "Did he bully you?"

As she spoke, she glared fiercely at Shen Yan, her expression ferocious as if she wanted to cut someone. Unfortunately, Shen Yan wasn't the least bit afraid; instead, he found her adorable and quite cute.

"What are you saying! I just felt it was a bit stuffy in the room."

If it had been the Chen Shanni who had just started school, she surely would have given herself away on the spot. Fortunately, under the "good advice" and training of a certain someone, Chen Shanni had become quite practiced at lying.

"Is that so?"

Yin Yezi was somewhat unconvinced; how could her face be that red for no reason?

"Shen Yan, I'm giving you a Warning: my sister has a soft personality and doesn't know how to refuse people. If you bully her, you have to take responsibility to the end," she said, implying something.

"Yezi!" Chen Shanni was a little angry and deepened her tone: "Don't make wild guesses. I said there's nothing, so there's nothing."

"Oh!" Yin Yezi only felt a bit aggrieved. Clearly, she was trying to help her sister facilitate this romance; why was her sister turning around and blaming her?

The bedroom door closed again.

Shen Yan took out the undergarment and returned it to Chen Shanni, the mood for continuing having vanished.

After dressing neatly, Chen Shanni kissed him on the cheek again and said shyly, "Leave the door open for me tonight, I'll come over to keep you company." Shen Yan pursed his lips and smiled.

Who is keeping whom company, really?

If he hadn't been exercising extreme restraint just now, Chen Shanni would have already pinned him to the bed and had her way with him.

Ten minutes later, over a dozen key members of Xiaogu Company gathered at the Chen residence.

The atmosphere at the dining table was at its absolute peak.

One was certain that Monday's sales would be eye-popping, another was envisioning a bright future; in short, everyone was very optimistic about the company's development. Chen Jun, as the host and the company's boss, was toasted again and again, being both praised and flattered.

The second-largest shareholder, Shen Yan, could not escape his fate either.

Who told him to release four pieces of software today that made everyone applaud in admiration?

"Boss Shen, I, Lao Li, admire you for developing such great software as Easy Pay."

"Boss Shen, I knew you weren't an ordinary person the first time we met, but I really didn't think you were this badass. A toast to you!"

"Boss Shen..."

Clearly, Shen Yan's performance tonight had conquered everyone present. Lin Bin even joked: "Boss Shen, does your company still need people? I feel like there's no future hanging out with Lao Chen. Why don't you take me in? I can even pour tea and serve water."

Hahaha!

Everyone burst into hearty laughter.

Passerby A: "Lao Lin, have you had too much to drink? You dare to spout nonsense right in front of President Chen."

Passerby B: "In vino veritas, this must be what Lao Lin really thinks. Lao Chen, this guy Lao Lin can't stay; he's harboring rebellious thoughts."

Passerby C: "Right, right, right!"

The group drank until midnight, and when they left, they were either unconscious or staggering, unable to speak clearly, and were sent home by designated drivers; only Shen Yan stayed behind in the Chen guest room.

"Damn it! None of them are any good!"

Lying on the Large Bed, Shen Yan couldn't help but curse under his breath.

Even though he had secretly vomited several times during the meal, he still couldn't handle it at this moment; his whole head was spinning, and the electric light on the ceiling turned into multiple overlapping phantoms in his eyes.

He lifted his somewhat uncooperative hand and unbuttoned his shirt one by one.

It was finally a bit cooler.

He flung the shirt away, pulled the quilt over his stomach, and too lazy to even take off his slippers, Shen Yan intended to just sleep until he passed out.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

With no response to the knocking, the door was opened directly, and Yin Yezi appeared at the doorway holding a cup.

"Shen Yan, are you asleep?" She walked up and shook Shen Yan.

Opening his eyes in a daze and seeing the figure before him clearly, Shen Yan smacked his lips and asked weakly: "Why did you come over?"

"How are you feeling? My mom boiled some hangover soup and asked me to bring it over," Yin Yezi said.

"A bit dizzy, but it's not a big problem!"
