“Little friend.”

Lu Huaiyu’s gaze shifted from the sugar jar to the side of her face. He raised his eyebrows and smiled.

“I told you not to fall in love at a such young age. So, it turns out that you’ve liked your brother since so long ago?”

She had admitted that she liked him too when she was 17 years old, but now he realized that it seemed to have happened earlier than he had expected.

Shen Li turned her head and stared at him with her peach blossom eyes.

Then, she walked forward and stood in front of him, looking up at him slightly.

Their eyes met.

She asked, “Couldn’t I?”

Lu Huaiyu was stunned. He had never expected that she would give such an answer.

After a long silence, it felt as if something was colliding in his chest.

He gave her a deep look, and his eyes seemed to be quenched with fire. The corners of his lips slowly curled up, and the tone of his voice was low and lazy, with a hint of huskiness.

“Of course you can.”

He lowered his head slightly and moved closer to her until they were just inches apart. It was as if he was bewitching her as he made her a promise.

“I’m yours. You can do whatever you want.”

In the quiet room, his voice fell into her ears, and she heard it exceptionally clearly.

Their breaths intertwined. She could even feel his breath sweep over her, bringing with it the boiling temperature that surrounded his body.

It was so hot that her heart began to tremble slightly.

Then, she placed a hand on his shoulder, and her soft lips pressed against his Adam’s apple.

This time, there was no need to use alcohol as an excuse.

The snow outside the window was fluttering down, accompanied by the occasional sound of the wind.

His breathing stopped, and his whole body tensed up. Subconsciously, he wrapped his arms around her waist. He lowered his head, wanting to kiss her lips, but she avoided him.

“Don’t move…”

Her voice was soft, combining a hint of coquettishness and a commanding tone.

He paused and his Adam’s apple moved up and down. Finally, he complied and allowed her to take the initiative and let her torture him.

After kissing for a while, she remembered how he had pulled down the collar of her sweater in the elevator and was determined to get back at him. So, she leaned closer and her soft and tender lips slowly moved around his neck.

Lu Huaiyu raised his head slightly and leaned against the door, closing his eyes with extreme difficulty.

She seemed to have found an interesting game and moved closer to his ear, nibbling on his earlobe and rubbing her teeth together.

In the next moment, she was finally satisfied to hear him gasp uncontrollably.

Only then did she withdraw with satisfaction and whispered in his ear, “Good night, Second Brother.”

‘Good night?’

Lu Huaiyu opened his eyes and looked at her intensely. There seemed to be a whirlpool in his eyes, with unconcealed greed and desire.

“Have you had enough fun?”

He raised his hand and rubbed his fingertips against her lips as he asked her this question in a hoarse voice.

She blinked, only now sensing the hint of danger.

“Well… didn’t you say that I can do anything…?”

Lu Huaiyu narrowed his eyes and looked at her without saying a word.

She took half a step back and moved to pull the door open.

“Second Brother, it’s late. You should go home and rest early too, right?”

As she spoke, she found that her hand had been grasped.

“What’s the rush?”

Lu Huaiyu held her wrist and pulled her forward. His other hand pinched her chin and kissed her lips without allowing her to refuse,

“Do you really think that I’ll be able to sleep when I go back now?”

She was tightly held in his arms and could not move. Even through her clothes, she could still feel the hot temperature emanating from his body.

Only then did she feel a little guilty. After thinking about it for a while, she finally displayed a contrite attitude and took the initiative to return his kiss.

“Second Brother is not angry. Ah Li, please kiss me.”

This initiative to surrender did not stop Lu Huaiyu from being merciless.

“It’s too late.”

He turned the defense into an attack and locked her in tightly. He held her hand and pressed his knees against her slender and straight legs. In the quiet room, he robbed her of her breath and devoured her scent. His gentleness enveloped his strength and overwhelmed her.

It was not until her breathing gradually became erratic and her cheeks turned red as she leaned into his arms, as she begged him in a low voice.

“… I still have class tomorrow…”

Lu Huaiyu paused and finally let her go. Looking into her sparkling eyes, he smiled and kissed her gently.

“Okay, I’ll pay you back next time.”

Shen Li’s eyes widened slightly.

‘Pay me back next time?!

‘Why was it not over yet?’

However, Lu Huaiyu had already made up his mind and had no intention of discussing it with her.

He touched her face.

“Good night, Shen Tangtang.”

…

Shen Li walked him to the door.

He looked down at her. Her hair was a little disheveled, her skin was extremely fair, her eyes were moist, and the corners of her eyes were red.

Everything that he had just done was evident.

His thin lips twitched slightly.

“Alright, go back and sleep well.”

Shen Li acknowledged.

“Goodbye, Second Brother.”

Only then did Lu Huaiyu turn around and leave, arriving in front of the elevator.

Ding.

The elevator door slowly opened. Just as Lu Huaiyu was about to step in, he heard a slightly surprised voice.

“Huaiyu?”

Lu Huaiyu stopped in his tracks and looked up.

Shen Li, who had been about to close the door, also stopped in her tracks.

Bi Zhitong looked at Lu Huaiyu with a surprised expression.

“It’s so late, why are you here?”

As he asked, he looked behind Lu Huaiyu.

Lu Huaiyu paused.

“I just sent Ah Li home, and I helped her bring some things up. I’m leaving now.”

“Oh, I see.”

Bi Zhitong nodded in understanding.

Lu Huaiyu then walked into the lift.

The two went downstairs together. Lu Huaiyu bid Bi Zhitong goodbye before he got into the car and left.

…

Shen Li returned to her room and pressed the back of her hand to her face, before walking to the bathroom.

She took a shower and changed into her pajamas. Suddenly, she remembered something, so she walked to the mirror and raised her head slightly.

There was indeed a faint red mark on her slender and delicate neck.

In fact, Lu Huaiyu had actually restrained himself as he kissed her neck.

However, later on, he had used too much strength. No matter how much she had called out to him, it had been useless.

It would probably take a long time to fade.

Fortunately, it was winter, so wearing a turtleneck sweater would cover it.

She let her hair down but it barely covered the mark. Then, she went to bed, picked up her phone, and clicked into Weibo.

As soon as she refreshed it, she saw a popular Weibo post on the front page.

[ Third Uncle Watching a Movie: I just watched the premiere of “Hibiscus”, and I just want to say that the talented Ge is finally back! It’s probably because I had very low expectations for Ge that it was a huge surprise after watching it. I can guarantee that this movie is definitely the biggest dark horse during this Double Dan Festival¹! ]
