Chapter 77: The Line of Defense Retreats Again and Again

The campus after the rain is like a dreamlike castle; the damp stone paths and fresh air, accompanied by the laughter of students, make one intoxicated in this paradise of youth.

After making up his mind, Shen Yan said nothing more, drove Hao Anqi back to the Danqingyuan Residential Complex, switched to the BMW, and prepared to head straight for the West Lake Scenic Area.

After getting in the car, Shen Yan pointed to the panda plushie in the back seat and said, "Here! A little gift for you; see if you like it."

Following his finger, Hao Anqi's fox-like eyes instantly bloomed with deep joy; she took the panda plushie, fiddled with it for a moment, and then said sweetly, "Shuai Yan, you are so good; I really like the gift."

In truth, she didn't care about the gift itself; the key was that Shen Yan was thinking of her, and his intentions were more important than anything else.

Moved, Hao Anqi took the initiative to lean forward and kiss Shen Yan on the cheek.

Shen Yan hadn't originally had that intention, but because of this small gesture, a wisp of flame gradually ignited in the depths of his heart; a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said, "Is that all?"

That pair of deep, dark eyes suddenly began to shift, becoming both pure and seductive, and the corners of his mouth hooked into an evil, charming arc, maxing out his sexual tension; Hao Anqi's little heart jumped up and down like a startled rabbit.

Here it comes again! Here it comes again!

Every time she saw this expression on Shen Yan, Hao Anqi's mind would go blank, and her thoughts would short-circuit.

Just at this moment, Shen Yan had already crossed the center console and arrived at the passenger seat; he reached out to gently stroke her collagen-rich, melon-seed-shaped face, and then, under Hao Anqi's hazy gaze, leaned down to capture those bright, beautiful red lips—delicate and warm, making one unable to stop.

"Mmph!" Hao Anqi let out a soft moan, then closed her eyes and responded proactively.

Since she couldn't refuse, she might as well enjoy it properly.

Before long, Shen Yan began to grow restless; his left hand reached to the side of the seat and pressed down lightly, causing the backrest to tilt slowly backward, while Shen Yan pressed one knee onto the seat cushion between Hao Anqi's legs and leaned in close.

At this moment, he really wanted to knead Hao Anqi into his very bones; that was what he thought, and that was what he did. His right hand braced against the backrest, while his left hand followed Hao Anqi's cheek down from her neck, crossing mountains and ridges to take the lead in occupying the strategic command center—the terrain here was dangerous, easy to defend but hard to attack.

Hao Anqi trembled all over, as if a current had swept through her entire body; it was tingly and numb. She hurriedly pressed down on that large hand, panted as she pulled away from those scorching lips, and said with hazy eyes, "It's... it's too fast!"

Shen Yan looked at her tenderly and said, "I was just curious and wanted to touch, not doing anything else, okay?"

Seeing that Hao Anqi didn't speak, Shen Yan took it as her tacit consent; he lowered his head and continued to capture those red lips. Hao Anqi opened her mouth to respond; already limp and lacking strength, she soon completely lost the power to resist, her breathing became increasingly rapid, and her mind went blank.

It wasn't until Shen Yan's large hand snaked in from the hem of her hoodie, making zero-distance contact... that she finally reacted.

Oh well, oh well! A little touch won't make me lose a piece of flesh.

Hao Anqi's line of defense was retreating step by step.

More than ten minutes passed, and Shen Yan returned to the driver's seat, feeling satisfied; Hao Anqi lowered her head to tidy her clothes, including the lingerie underneath.

"What are you laughing at!" Hao Anqi asked, pouting.

Shen Yan said he was just happy to see her in a good mood; Hao Anqi gave a light huff and said, "If I had known you were such a lecher, I wouldn't have gotten together with you."

However, the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her most honest inner thoughts.

If a man isn't bad, a woman won't love him.

Shen Yan gave an evil, charming smile, rested his left hand on the steering wheel, propped up his chin, and said, "How come I feel like you were enjoying it quite a bit?" Hao Anqi was so embarrassed and annoyed by this that she lunged over, wanting to hit Shen Yan.

There was no reason not to cherish the delicacy delivered to his mouth; with a slight effort, Shen Yan took advantage of the momentum to lift her into the air, let Hao Anqi sit sideways on his lap, and began to grope her.

Once this kind of thing happens once, there will be a second time; Hao Anqi couldn't resist at all, nor did she want to. Immediately after, the lingerie she had just straightened gave a jolt, and a great force caused the ends of the unfastened hooks to spring apart.

Her smooth face, delicate earlobes, and fair, slender neck were kissed one by one, and the sound of heavy breathing echoed within the cramped car.

Shen Yan, with his head full of lust, said hungrily, "Qiqi, let's go get a hotel room, shall we!"

Hao Anqi still had a shred of reason left; kissing and touching were fine, but to actually take that step, she felt inexplicably panicked again, saying she wasn't ready yet.

Shen Yan was silent; all told, they had only been in love for a month. He didn't know if this pace was considered fast compared to others—he imagined it was quite fast—but he was indeed enduring it with great difficulty.

Seeing that Shen Yan didn't speak, Hao Anqi thought he was angry, so she curled into his arms and acted like a spoiled child, saying, "Don't be angry, just give me a little more time."

Shen Yan smiled, loosened his grip, and said, "I'm not angry; I respect your wishes in this regard."

"Shuai Yan, you are so good!" Hao Anqi took the initiative to kiss Shen Yan.

The two did not continue to entangle; after tidying their clothes, Shen Yan drove straight to the West Lake Scenic Area.

West Lake is actually a super-large lake, and there are all kinds of attractions around it, such as the famous Ten Scenes of West Lake: Broken Bridge Over Snow, Twin Peaks Piercing the Clouds, Su Causeway Spring Dawn, Flower Harbor Watching Fish, etc., as well as sights like the Leifeng Pagoda and Lingyin Temple.

To be honest, Shen Yan really didn't think there was anything fun about the West Lake in Hangzhou; it was just walking around and viewing the scenery. The only slightly interesting part was taking a boat from the Fish Watching Pier to the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon island to appreciate the different scenery from the water.

Hao Anqi kept fiddling with her digital camera, taking pictures of wherever was beautiful, wishing she could capture all the sights into that tiny memory card.

Eating and drinking, the two played wildly until ten o'clock at night; the night was deep, and there were few people on the streets when Shen Yan finally dropped Hao Anqi off at the gate of the Communication University of China.

After pouring out their hearts to each other, Hao Anqi hugged the panda plushie and disappeared into the vast night.

The autumn colors grew deeper, and the nights in Hangzhou became increasingly chilly. The leaves on the sycamore trees by the street had begun to turn yellow, and occasionally a few would drift down, swaying under the dim streetlights, appearing somewhat lonely.

At this moment, his phone rang; it was Lin Yang calling.

"Hello! Lao Lin."

"Lao Shen, I heard Chen Shanni lives right next door to you, and Yue'er just moved into her place; do you know about this?"

"I've been busy outside all day; I haven't even made it home yet."

"I see! Let me discuss something with you: since you have an empty room at your place, could you let me move in? I can pay rent."

"My grandma is staying in that room for the time being, for about half a month or so, and you also know I have a girlfriend, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be very convenient."

"Oh, oh! Then never mind."
