Such a Sense of Security _1 Although Gu Yuexi was singing, her heart was pounding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying leaned lazily against Lin Chen like a languid cat, rubbing her temples and whispering intimately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unabashed closeness made Gu Yuexi feel a little awkward, but at the same time she couldn’t help but be somewhat envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying could be so unabashedly intimate with Lin Chen partly because of her outgoing personality, but mostly because they had already crossed that line in their relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference in a relationship between men and women when they have or haven’t slept together is like night and day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While envious, Gu Yuexi couldn’t help but wonder if she and Lin Chen could take their relationship further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such delicate and complex thoughts, Gu Yuexi got drunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying pinched Gu Yuexi’s cheek, causing her to mumble something unintelligible with a silly expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did you get drunk so fast?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems like you have something on your mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying leaned in closer with a smile, hanging onto Lin Chen’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was somewhat panicked, as Gu Yuexi was still there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying kissed him gently, then chuckled and got up: “I’ll go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just remember, happiness isn’t something that waits for you, it’s something you fight for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Show some assertiveness, man!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen watched Zuo Yingying walk towards the door: “Are you just leaving like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying put on a surprised expression: “What, should I stay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you expecting us both to keep you company?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman’s words were hard to deal with!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying saw the expression on Lin Chen’s face, then giggled: “I’m just teasing you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should know your limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want to annoy people by sticking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you can’t deal with Xiaoxi and need help, you know where to find me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying left, and Lin Chen looked at Gu Yuexi lying on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched out his hand to sort out a few messy strands of hair on her forehead, then helped her up, with her arms over his shoulders, and lifted her up by her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold onto my neck so you don’t fall off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi, in a daze, clung to Lin Chen’s neck, then comfortably fell asleep on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lin Chen brought Gu Yuexi back to the hotel, she was completely asleep, she rolled over and continued to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen originally wanted to leave, but worried about Gu Yuexi having an accident while drunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hesitating, he decided to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lin Chen woke up, Gu Yuexi was lying in his arms, staring straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How long have you been awake?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi pursed her lips, her gaze a little evasive, but her expression joyful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was in bed with Lin Chen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been hugging each other all night!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they hadn’t crossed any lines, she couldn’t deny how safe and secure she felt lying in Lin Chen’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi lifted her face, pecked him on the lips, then buried her face in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just woke up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said with a laugh, “Go take a shower to freshen up, you smell like alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday when I carried you back, you slept like a pig, so I didn’t mess with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi, naturally smelling the strong alcohol scent on her body, got up somewhat embarrassed, went to the bathroom, and soon the sound of water came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen lay in bed, his thoughts drifting along with the splashing water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scenes of his past encounters with Gu Yuexi flashed through his mind like a movie, making his heart soften.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he strive to take that next step?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying’s words echoed in Lin Chen’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Happiness must be fought for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Men should be more assertive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, as a man, he should indeed be more proactive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weather seemed nice today; a bright and sunny morning would be a perfect beginning to a new relationship chapter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made up his mind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of water stopped, and soon Gu Yuexi emerged in a bathrobe, her head wrapped in a towel, her pale legs in slippers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was like a goddess emerging from the water!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen felt that speaking now would ruin the courage he had just built up, so he remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got up without saying a word and hugged Gu Yuexi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi’s body exuded the fragrance of shower gel, so pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi’s face turned red instantly, and for a moment she felt at a loss, her body stiff in Lin Chen’s embrace, her mind turning blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw Lin Chen’s eyes filled with passion, and she understood what he wanted to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had always been looking forward to this day, but when it finally arrived, she found herself lost and unsure how to cope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When her soft, warm skin felt the cool touch of his hand, she finally came to her senses.\u003C\u002Fp>",843,"2026-06-06T01:51:32.142Z",1,"novelbin.me","fb39d039b4bede73e476a3aed269ca5477c1ee7391120788eb5528e9afb7ba77","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-380","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-378",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
