Chapter 240

After You Yongci finished speaking,

the two fell into a brief silence,

after a while,

You Yongci spoke again: "Will we meet again?"

Qin Feng shook his head: "Probably not."

"Mm."

You Yongci nodded, hesitated, then added: "Can you do one thing for me?"

"What?"

Qin Feng was puzzled,

but You Yongci stepped forward boldly,

then opened her arms and gently leaned against Qin Feng,

pressing close to his ear,

shyly yet softly whispering: "I want to…"

"Mm?"

Qin Feng froze,

this was the first time a girl had so directly and openly made such a request,

seeing Qin Feng didn't answer immediately,

she gently took his hand and pressed it against her skin,

then asked again in a soft voice: "Can you?"

"Yes."

Qin Feng no longer hesitated and nodded decisively.

You Yongci held Qin Feng quietly for a while longer,

then pulled him back to her beach chair,

the waves lapped gently,

the sea breeze caressed softly,

You Yongci, slightly awkward, lifted her head to seek Qin Feng's lips,

while Qin Feng unfastened the other strap of her swimsuit…

…

"Ding! Sowing successful, reward: 100% shares of Wondrous Decor Company."

Hearing the system prompt in his mind,

Qin Feng helped the limp You Yongci sit up,

and both gazed at the sea,

after a long while,

You Yongci let out a soft sigh and said: "It hurt a little, but it was truly wonderful—no wonder those roommates talked about this after lights out…"

"Actually, I'm not a bad woman. I just feel I can't fall in love with anyone, and I could never stay with anyone for more than a year…"

"But I also want love, I also want friendship, I also want to experience all the things that are easy for them but so precious to me…"

"That's why, tonight, I chose you…"

"And thank goodness we'll almost certainly never meet again…"

She raised her hand and slowly wiped away her tears,

You Yongci stood up,

opened her arms,

closed her eyes,

letting the sea wind brush her bare body,

standing still for a long while,

You Yongci finally put on her long sun-protective coat,

then turned to look toward Qin Feng: "Let's go back together."

"Mm."

Qin Feng stood up,

took You Yongci's hand, and walked back to the hotel together.

Taking the elevator to the 20th floor,

when the elevator doors opened,

You Yongci let go of Qin Feng's hand,

then walked toward Room 2072,

Qin Feng paused in surprise,

feeling the lingering warmth in his hand,

shook his head and smiled,

then opened his own door,

had just stepped inside and taken a shower,

the doorbell rang,

when he opened the door,

Sang Zhi and Lin Miaomiao slipped in.

Sang Zhi had long noticed that Qin Feng never returned to the hall.

So she prepared dinner for Qin Feng in advance.

Only after confirming he had returned to his room did she send it up.

Seeing how thoughtful Sang Zhi was,

Qin Feng smiled and patted Sang Zhi on the head.

At that moment, Sang Zhi,

taking advantage of Qin Feng's distraction,

reached out to feel his abdominal muscles.

Lin Miaomiao, beside her, simultaneously extended her wicked little hand.

"What are you doing?"

Qin Feng feigned a stern face and scolded softly.

Lin Miaomiao's face instantly flushed red; her hand froze mid-air.

But Sang Zhi simply stole a quick touch.

Then she laughed happily, grabbed Lin Miaomiao's hand, and ran off.

The two had barely left when

the doorbell rang again.

This time, it was Song Qian and Tong Wenjie.

They, too, had been worried that Qin Feng hadn't eaten.

So they had prepared dinner for him as well.

But seeing Qin Feng already eating dinner,

they smiled and placed their own meal aside.

They chatted idly for a while,

and Song Qian and Tong Wenjie brought up the odd You Yongci they had encountered today.

Then they asked Qin Feng about it.

After learning You Yongci had merely swum too late,

Song Qian and Tong Wenjie sighed with feeling.

At first,

Song Qian and Tong Wenjie had planned to stay overnight in Qin Feng's room—

after all, they had already spent the night together, and today's beach outing had been so joyful, naturally they wanted to make it even more joyful.
