Chapter 73: Little Secret

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Little Secret

There used to be a hotly debated topic online: If a single man and a single woman are alone in a room together and absolutely nothing happens, is that kind of man reliable?

One guy tells a woman he won’t do anything, promising he isn’t the type to use "just the tip" as an excuse to go all the way. The woman believes him, but they end up doing everything anyway.

Another guy says he won’t do anything, and he actually just sleeps politely. If he can’t sleep, he does push-ups. The guy thinks he kept his promise, but the woman wonders what is wrong with him, and that is the end of their story.

Of course, there is a simpler, more direct saying. When a man and a woman are alone in a room, if something happens, you’re a beast. If nothing happens, you’re worse than a beast.

Su Yunzhou’s mind was at war with itself. Ultimately, desire went to his head. At times like this, a man had to be proactive and bold; otherwise, the woman would feel uneasy and resentful.

According to my—ahem, a friend’s—experience, as long as a woman lets you into her room, there’s at least a fifty percent chance you can round the bases. The prerequisite, of course, is that you grasp every subtle detail.

The joy of this is beyond words. If there’s a chance, it can be discussed in detail later.

"Hmm? Are you feeling any better?" Su Yunzhou asked softly, standing by the bed.

"Mhm..." Hiding under the covers, Li Yan’s voice was as quiet as a mosquito. Peeking through the gap at the motionless Su Yunzhou, her face grew even redder, and she didn’t dare to look at him. She thought, "What do I do? No, I can’t keep letting my imagination run wild."

But Su Yunzhou boldly reached out his hand. He grabbed hers; his palm was broad, strong, warm, and soft. However, his fingers were a bit mischievous, lightly scratching her palm.

Li Yan twisted her body slightly in protest, but her proud curves beneath the thin blanket painted an even more imaginative and beautiful picture.

"It tickles..." Li Yan poked her head out, her pretty face flushed. Her breathing was slightly erratic, and her eyes held a mix of shyness and anticipation.

In order to maintain their relationship, Su Yunzhou slowly lowered his head and kissed her lips.

"Mmph... mhm..." Li Yan widened her eyes in surprise before fluttering them shut. Her long eyelashes trembled gently as she hooked her arms around his neck, responding passionately.

This kiss broke the ice. Su Yunzhou’s movements were gentle. His fingers seemed to carry an invisible Magic Power; everywhere they touched sent tingling sensations through her, completely immersing her and stripping away her ability to think or react.

"Wu... no... don’t..."

Just as he was about to round the bases, Li Yan suddenly snapped back to reality. She subconsciously struggled, trying to push away his warm embrace.

Su Yunzhou looked at her with hazy eyes, a hint of confusion in his gaze. "Hmm? What’s wrong?"

"Well... no... it’s not convenient for us to do this here... What if the nurses find out..." Li Yan explained in a fluster, her cheeks burning red.

Su Yunzhou helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose. His gaze swept the room and finally landed on the bathroom door. "Can we go in there?"

Li Yan felt his breath sweeping across her neck. It tickled her ears, and she didn’t know how to describe the feeling in that moment. Her heart raced, her breathing quickened, and her body felt entirely out of control.

Seeing her lower her head in silence, Su Yunzhou was overjoyed. He carefully picked her up and slowly walked over. The two embarked on a bold adventure. Together, they scaled high mountains, crossed wide plains, traversed the Secret Garden, and finally found their destination of pure bliss.

About an hour later.

Everything returned to calm. Su Yunzhou was the first to walk out of the bathroom. After adjusting his clothes, he sat down on the sofa.

A moment later.

Li Yan walked out of the bathroom. However, her walking posture was slightly odd. Because she had attended "class" with an injury, standing in one position for a long time had left her legs somewhat numb.

Su Yunzhou stepped forward to support her, an apologetic look on his face.

Li Yan shot him a charmingly reproachful glare. "Now you know how to feel bad for me? You were having a great time charging around recklessly just now!"

Su Yunzhou’s face reddened slightly. "That’s because you’re just too tempting."

Li Yan flushed down to her neck. Her mouth opened and closed gently, but in the end, she didn’t say a word.

The two walked slowly back to the bed. Su Yunzhou gently set her down, then crouched to lift her feet onto the mattress.

TSK TSK TSK!

The warm touch in his hands forced him to marvel. Some women just had feet. Other women had jade feet. Legs like these could keep a man entertained for a year... no, for many years.

Seeing him staring at her feet, Li Yan felt a hint of smugness. Her face grew hot as she asked, "What is it?"

"Hehe!" Su Yunzhou let out a dry laugh. After sharing such an intimate moment, he no longer had as many reservations when speaking. "Some people say you have to look at the legs first to see if a woman is beautiful, but I think you’re beautiful everywhere."

"You! You’re getting more and more glib!"

"How is this being glib? I’m telling the truth. It’s a sincere compliment," Su Yunzhou said with a serious face.

Li Yan curled up slightly and hid under the covers again.

Su Yunzhou poured a glass of water and brought it over. "Hydrate yourself."

Li Yan said in bashful annoyance, "You... you pervert!"

"Me?" Su Yunzhou smiled helplessly. "I didn’t mean it like that."

They flirted and bickered for a few more moments before a knock sounded on the door again.

The nurse came in to take Li Yan’s temperature. She picked up the mercury thermometer, held it up to the light, and checked it.

"37.2 degrees Celsius!

"Your temperature has gone down.

"Ms. Li, how are you feeling now?"

Li Yan shook her head. "I feel pretty good... I don’t have any issues."

"Alright! If you feel unwell, just press the bell to call us." After saying that, the female nurse yawned and left.

Su Yunzhou closed the door and teased, "Pretty good, huh!"

Hearing this, another blush surfaced on Li Yan’s cheeks. They were both adults; how could she not understand what he was implying? But it truly was pretty good. It was inevitable to be a little nervous during their first "class." Some details were still less than ideal, but he had mastered at least seventy percent of the key points. For a first tutoring session, that was already an incredibly high percentage.

After a few more minutes of idle chatter, their lust-addled minds began to regain clarity. Li Yan’s thoughts started running wild again. She thought, "I was too impulsive! How can I face Yiyi after doing this? What should I do? And in the future..."

Su Yunzhou looked at the Affinity that had increased by another two points. He felt a surge of excitement in his heart, but then worry set in. The relationship between them had undergone a qualitative change, but between him, her, and *her*—how were they supposed to navigate this dynamic?

Fortunately, the awkwardness didn’t last long.

Li Yan lowered her eyes. "Su... Su Yunzhou, you absolutely cannot let Yiyi know what happened today... Blame me for being a bit..."

Hearing this, Su Yunzhou’s eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at Li Yan’s subtle expression and replied, "I’m sorry, I was too impulsive!"

With complex emotions swirling in her eyes, Li Yan let out a faint sigh. "I’ve wronged Yiyi, so please promise me you’ll keep this little secret, okay?"
