Chapter 660: The Little Girl's Ultimate Thoughts

You Nianchu's voice was soft as a feather, brushing over Lin Yuan's heart, his eyes full of expectation and nervousness.

She feared receiving a negative answer.

While speaking, You Nianchu didn't stop moving; the foot in pink socks quietly stretched out from under the table...

Her foot lightly landed on Lin Yuan's instep, the delicate soft sensation transmitted through the thin sock.

You Nianchu also deliberately applied slight pressure, rubbing Lin Yuan's instep with her toes, the movement coquettish and somewhat intentionally seductive.

Lin Yuan tensed all over, instantly thrown into panic by this sudden touch.

Lin Yuan's cheeks instantly turned hot, even his ears flushed.

The sensation on his instep was delicate and soft, with a hint of warmth, like an electric current spreading from his instep throughout his body.

This made his heart race instantly, his breathing becoming somewhat hurried.

Lin Yuan instinctively wanted to pull his foot back, but You Nianchu's foot lightly held it down.

Lin Yuan couldn't move, only able to sit stiffly in place.

You Nianchu watched his flustered appearance, the corners of her mouth lifting in a proud smile, her eyes growing more sly.

You Nianchu lessened the pressure of her foot rubbing, her tone growing softer: "Lin Laoshi, why aren't you speaking? Do you want to or not..."

She deliberately leaned close, her warm breath spraying onto Lin Yuan's cheeks.

You Nianchu further closed the distance between them, pushing this ambiguous atmosphere to become even more intense.

Lin Yuan was made unsettled by her initiative and seduction, unable to remain calm any longer.

Lin Yuan suddenly rose from his chair, his tone carrying a hint of panic and a touch of deliberate sternness, he lowly shouted at You Nianchu,

"Little girl, you're young, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.

He looked at You Nianchu with a stern gaze, emphasizing word by word:

"I am your teacher; our relationship is teacher-student. Don't say what shouldn't be said, don't do what shouldn't be done!"

Lin Yuan tried to use the teacher-student identity to create distance, conceal his embarrassment, and also wanted You Nianchu to restrain this excessive intimacy.

But You Nianchu was not at all frightened by his sternness.

She instead lifted her head, blinking her lively beautiful eyes, her tone carrying a bit of coquettishness and probing, she softly said:

"What's wrong with a teacher-student relationship? Lin Laoshi, we can have a teacher-student romance, then you could cook for me for life and teach me Chinese medicine for life—how wonderful."

"You're utterly unreasonable!" Lin Yuan, angered by her words, furrowed his brows, his tone growing even stricter.

Lin Yuan's eyes filled with helplessness and reproach: "If you keep acting up, I won't teach you anymore, nor let you participate in the National Medical Competition—get out now!"

As he spoke, he made a move to grab You Nianchu's arm, intending to push her out the door.

You Nianchu saw this, realizing her joke had gone too far, quickly withdrew her coquettish expression.

You Nianchu pursed her lips, her tone softening, carrying a bit of grievance and obedience: "Alright, alright, Lin Laoshi, I was just joking with you, don't be angry, I won't say it again."

She said this while lightly tugging at Lin Yuan's shirt hem.

At this moment, You Nianchu's eyes were full of appeasement, fearing Lin Yuan would really get angry and not let her stay for tutoring.

Lin Yuan looked at her obedient apology, and his anger instantly dissipated by half.

Lin Yuan helplessly sighed, withdrawing his hand:

"Alright, stop joking around, hurry up and finish your meal; after you finish, I'll tutor you."

His tone remained somewhat stern, but less reproachful.

The embarrassment in Lin Yuan's eyes gradually faded, leaving only sheer helplessness.

You Nianchu quickly nodded obediently, picked up her chopsticks, and continued eating quietly.

Only, the corner of her mouth still secretly held a hint of a sly smile.

You Nianchu knew in her heart that although Lin Yuan seemed strict, he had already let his guard down toward her; with further probing, she could surely sway him.

The two ate dinner in silence, You Nianchu obediently sitting on the sofa.

You Nianchu watched Lin Yuan clear the bowls and chopsticks, her eyes full of delight.

She occasionally furtively glanced at his figure, her inner little calculations crackling.

Lin Yuan finished clearing the bowls and chopsticks, walked into the kitchen... %

Lin Yuan washed and wiped the dishes skillfully, his movements swift.

Soon after, Lin Yuan had finished, dried his hands, and walked out of the kitchen.

"Let's go, to the study for tutoring." Lin Yuan said in a flat tone.

He turned and walked toward the study.

You Nianchu immediately rose and quickly followed...

You Nianchu's eyes were full of anticipation, her steps light, like a happy little bird, closely following behind Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan pushed open the study door, took out the Chinese medicine tutoring materials and notebook, and placed them on the desk.

He gestured for You Nianchu to sit down.

Afterward, Lin Yuan began to patiently explain.

Lin Yuan started from the basics of Chinese medicine theory, gradually organizing the knowledge points for her, explaining in meticulous detail, fearing she wouldn't understand.

But You Nianchu hadn't really listened attentively; her little thoughts had already overflowed.

She deliberately furrowed her brows, fixed her gaze on the knowledge point in the book, showing a confused expression, and softly said: "Lin Laoshi, I don't understand this part; you explained it too abstractly, could you explain again?"

As she spoke, she also deliberately moved closer to Lin Yuan, indicating he should come nearer, her tone soft:

"Lin Laoshi, if you come a bit closer to speak, I'll hear more clearly, okay?"

Lin Yuan looked at her confused expression, didn't think much, just assumed she really didn't understand,

Lin Yuan helplessly sighed, slightly leaned forward, and moved closer to the desk.

Lin Yuan then continued, explaining to her in even greater detail.

Seeing Lin Yuan draw near, You Nianchu flashed a sly smile in her eyes.

She subtly shifted her body, deliberately moving closer to Lin Yuan…

The distance between them instantly became extremely close.

You Nianchu's body almost pressed tightly against Lin Yuan's arm, she could clearly feel his warmth.

Lin Yuan's explaining motion paused, his heartbeat immediately went into disarray again.

A faint fragrance from You Nianchu once again lingered around Lin Yuan's nose.

That scent was light and pleasant, making him uneasy.

Lin Yuan's explaining voice also unconsciously slowed a bit, and a complex hue rose on his cheeks.

Lin Yuan instinctively wanted to step back, to put distance between them,

But You Nianchu lightly pressed his arm, her tone still soft: "Lin Laoshi, don't move around, I still haven't understood, please explain more carefully."

Lin Yuan looked at her serious expression, feeling helpless and at a loss.

Lin Yuan could only let her stay close, forcing himself to stay calm and continue explaining, but the turmoil in his heart could no longer be quelled.

You Nianchu sensed Lin Yuan's agitation beside her, the slyness in her eyes growing stronger.

You Nianchu's boldness grew as well.

She took advantage of the moment when Lin Yuan lowered his head to search for tutoring materials, his focus entirely on the book, and quietly turned her face.

You Nianchu, taking advantage of his inattention, quickly moved close%

You Nianchu…… secretly kissed Lin Yuan's cheek.

Her soft lips lightly touched, fleeting, yet full of ambiguity.

Lin Yuan shuddered all over, as if struck by an electric current, instantly stopping his explaining motion.

Lin Yuan sharply turned his head, avoiding her contact.

Lin Yuan lowly shouted at You Nianchu: "What are you doing?!"

He really hadn't expected You Nianchu to be so bold, daring to secretly kiss him during tutoring, completely breaking the boundaries he had upheld.

You Nianchu was startled by his anger, but quickly composed her panic, deliberately putting on an innocent look.

You Nianchu blinked her lively eyes, her tone soft, with a hint of sly excuse:

"Ah? Lin Laoshi, I didn't mean to, I just got too close and accidentally touched your face, I really didn't mean to kiss you~"

As she spoke, she also lightly pursed her lips, her eyes full of appeasement.

You Nianchu put on a look of wronged innocence, trying to bluff her way through.

Lin Yuan saw her feigning innocence while knowing her guilt, and his inner anger surged up instantly.

But, looking at her aggrieved expression.

Lin Yuan also really couldn't muster much anger, left only with full helplessness.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, forcefully breaking free of You Nianchu's hand holding his arm.

Lin Yuan stepped back, increasing the distance between them, and spoke sternly:

"Listen carefully; if you cause trouble again, I really won't let you continue tutoring, and I'll cancel your eligibility for the competition."

You Nianchu, seeing she had gotten away with it, obediently nodded, putting on an obedient appearance.

You Nianchu lowered her head to look at the book, but the corner of her mouth still covertly held a hint of a smug smile.

Lin Yuan helplessly shook his head, picked up the tutoring materials again, deliberately keeping distance from her, and cautiously continued explaining.

Only, Lin Yuan's tone carried a subtle unnaturalness.

During the subsequent tutoring, You Nianchu restrained some of her excessive intimacy, yet still occasionally stole glances at Lin Yuan,

You Nianchu's eyes were full of slyness and delight.

Lin Yuan, meanwhile, forced himself to stay calm throughout, focusing on explaining the knowledge points.

Lin Yuan tried to avoid eye contact with her, fearing her small gestures would disturb his mind again.

Both had their own thoughts, yet they managed to finish the day's tutoring steadily.

When the tutoring ended, the night outside the window had already grown deep.

The clock on the wall pointed to past ten at night.

The indoor light softly fell on both of them, exuding a hint of tranquil ambiguity.

Lin Yuan gathered the tutoring materials, and spoke to You Nianchu in a flat tone:

"All right, tutoring ends here; it's late, you should head home now."

You Nianchu, upon hearing that, lifted her head, her face showing a bit of grievance and reluctance, and gently shook her head.

You Nianchu said in a soft tone: "Lin Laoshi, I didn't drive here; it's so late, for a girl like me to take a taxi home is unsafe, could you give me a ride?"

As she spoke, she also lightly tugged at Lin Yuan's sleeve, her eyes full of pleading, a pitiful look.

Lin Yuan looked at her appearance, and his helplessness welled up again.

He furrowed his brows, and firmly refused:

"No, I still have things to handle; you take a taxi yourself, it's quite convenient even this late, just stay safe."

Lin Yuan truly didn't want more alone time with You Nianchu, fearing another awkward or ambiguous incident, so he could only harden his heart to refuse.

You Nianchu saw Lin Yuan's firm attitude, knowing he wouldn't easily relent.

You Nianchu's eyes flashed a hint of slyness, she didn't continue pleading, and obediently nodded:

"All right, then Lin Laoshi, I'll take a taxi home myself, you also take care to rest."

She said that, then picked up her bag, turned and walked toward the door.

You Nianchu's steps seemed obedient, but her heart had already plotted the next step.

Lin Yuan looked at her back, lightly sighed, thinking he could finally get rid of this little trouble,.

But he had just walked to the study door, preparing to tidy up.

Then he heard a cry of "Ai yo" from outside the door.

Immediately followed by You Nianchu's aggrieved and shrill wailing……

The sound clearly transmitted into the room, full of pain, instantly drawing Lin Yuan's attention.

Lin Yuan's heart tightened suddenly, subconsciously thinking You Nianchu really had something happen……

Lin Yuan's previous dissatisfaction and helplessness instantly dissipated, leaving only worry.

Lin Yuan didn't have time to think further, hurriedly quick-stepped to the door, yanked it open, and eagerly looked outside……

He saw You Nianchu sitting on the hallway floor, one foot slightly lifted.

Her brows were tightly furrowed, her face full of tears, a look of unbearable pain.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan's tone full of urgency, he hurried forward and squatted down.

Lin Yuan's gaze fixed tightly on You Nianchu's raised foot.

Seeing Lin Yuan's worry, You Nianchu's eyes flashed a hint of slyness……

Yet the pain on her face became more evident, tears sliding down her cheeks.

You Nianchu's tone full of grievance and choking: "Lin Laoshi, I rushed out, didn't watch my step, missed a step and twisted my foot, it hurts so much, my foot feels like it can't move……"

She said, and deliberately moved her ankle slightly, letting out a faint cry of pain.

You Nianchu furrowed her brows even tighter, a pitiful appearance……

Seeing that, Lin Yuan's worry deepened.

"Did you really twist your foot? Does it hurt badly?" Lin Yuan asked concernedly, while speaking he unconsciously reached out, wanting to lightly touch her ankle.

"Don't move, let me check."

Speaking, Lin Yuan gently took off You Nianchu's white sports shoes.

Revealing the pink sports socks inside, the pink socks tightly wrapped her delicate ankle, exuding a touch of charm.

To better examine her injury, Lin Yuan did not hesitate.

Lin Yuan gently held You Nianchu's ankle, carefully removing her pink sports sock, revealing a pair of fair, delicate jade feet.

You Nianchu's jade feet: skin fine and smooth, toes round and cute.

Only the ankle already showed a faint red swelling, obviously truly twisted.

Lin Yuan carefully examined her ankle, fingertips lightly touching the swollen spot.

Lin Yuan's tone somewhat solemn: "Indeed twisted, a bit swollen, but not too serious; just reduce the swelling."

You Nianchu watched Lin Yuan's serious examination, the slyness in her eyes growing stronger.

You Nianchu's face still streaked with tears, her voice soft and pleading: "Lin Laoshi, I'm in pain, can you help me reduce the swelling? I can't even stand, let alone take a taxi home……"

She said, and lightly tugged Lin Yuan's sleeve, her eyes full of dependence and grievance.

You Nianchu at this moment appeared completely unable to leave him.

Lin Yuan looked at her like that, then at her swollen ankle, and was utterly at a loss.

Lin Yuan could only helplessly shake his head: "I really owe you from a past life."

Saying that, he slightly bent over, carefully lifting You Nianchu horizontally.

It was a standard Princess Carry.

You Nianchu's delicate body soft and boneless, lightly leaning in his embrace, a flash of triumphant smile crossed her eyes, then quickly concealed.

You Nianchu still pretended to be in pain, tightly clutching Lin Yuan's neck.

Lin Yuan held You Nianchu, turned gently and walked indoors, backhand closing the door.

He carefully placed You Nianchu on the living room's soft sofa, movements gentle, afraid to hurt her ankle.

After putting her down, Lin Yuan sighed in relief, tone flat yet with a hint of concern:

"Sit still, don't move; I'll get an ice pack to help reduce the swelling."

Saying that, Lin Yuan turned and walked to the kitchen, soon bringing back an ice pack.

Lin Yuan wrapped it in a towel to avoid frostbite on her skin.

He walked to the sofa edge, sat gently, carefully holding You Nianchu's jade foot, about to apply the ice pack to her swollen ankle.

You Nianchu suddenly let out a sharp cry of pain:

"Ah—so painful! Lin Laoshi, be gentle!"

Before her words finished, You Nianchu instinctively lifted her foot, her fair jade foot lightly stepping on Lin Yuan's face……

Her delicate, soft foot sensation instantly covered Lin Yuan's cheeks……

Carrying a hint of warmth.

Lin Yuan's whole body froze.

He never expected…… You Nianchu would suddenly do something like this?

Lin Yuan at this moment could be said to be "top-tier over the lung"……
