As for why she understood so much, it seemed necessary to take Qingxue to check out some websites.
Noticing that Lin Wanning's gaze suddenly turned strange, Li Qingxue quickly stepped back, creating some distance. "Your eyes are so lewd! I can’t even imagine such a look coming from a beautiful girl like you."
Lin Wanning squinted at Li Qingxue, a mischievous smile creeping onto her face.
"Don't go back tonight."
"What do you mean?"
"Let’s get a room."
Li Qingxue was momentarily taken aback, instinctively hugging her plush toy and retreating a couple of steps, putting more distance between them.
That statement left her mind blank.
Get a room? The two of them... women?
Wasn’t that a bit too outrageous?
But why did she feel a thrill at the thought?
"Are you scared?" Lin Wanning teased, lightly tapping Li Qingxue's chin with her finger. "You’re not afraid I’ll do something to you, are you?"
Li Qingxue felt flustered, shaking her head slightly and brushing Lin Wanning's finger away. "Who said I’m scared? If we’re getting a room, then let’s do it! I’m not afraid!"
She pointed to a nearby hotel. "How about that one?"
"Sounds good."
The two of them walked toward the small hotel, and the closer they got, the more they both felt their palms growing sweaty.
It was a classic case of two inexperienced chicks pecking at each other.
Once inside the hotel room, they exchanged glances, both blushing, unsure of what to say.
Finally, Lin Wanning cleared her throat. "You go take a shower first. I’ll make the bed."
"Okay."
Li Qingxue, usually chatty, fell silent as she tidied herself up and headed into the bathroom to shower.
Before long, she emerged in a short-sleeved shirt, her plush toy now free and quite noticeable.
Lin Wanning had already made the bed and headed into the bathroom after Li Qingxue.
When she came out again, Li Qingxue was already snuggled under the covers.
Lin Wanning grabbed her phone and crawled into bed. "Let me show you something."
"What is it?" Li Qingxue asked, glancing at Lin Wanning's phone.
As the video loaded, Li Qingxue froze for a moment, her delicate face turning beet red.
She quickly pulled the blanket up to cover half her face, revealing only her beautiful eyes, staring in disbelief at Lin Wanning. "Are you out of your mind?"
"You wanted to know how I learned so much, right?"
"I guess this counts as my awakening."
As the video began to play, Li Qingxue couldn’t bear to watch, tightly shutting her eyes and refusing to open them no matter how much Lin Wanning coaxed her.
But as the sounds reached her ears, gradually, she found herself peeking through her fingers. "I feel like my thoughts are getting dirty..."
"Lin Wanning, you little firecracker..."
"Should I turn it off?"
"Wait... wait... I haven’t finished watching yet..." Her voice trailed off, growing softer...
...
On the other side.
After finishing her shower, Hu Yuying, her cheeks flushed, shyly placed her legs in Long Aotian's lap. "Um, we can play now."
"Do you really think I’m that shallow?" Long Aotian felt the need to correct Hu Yuying's impression.
Hu Yuying shot him an annoyed glance; his hands were already on her legs, moving up and down.
The gentle caresses she had imagined were replaced by a rhythmic massage.
She wanted to say something but ultimately held her tongue; she liked being treated this way by Long Aotian.
The sensations on her legs felt so good, sending tingles through her tired body, making her feel like she was melting...
"Long Aotian."
"Yeah?"
"I just wanted to call you."
"I'm right here."
Their conversation had shifted from endless chatter to brief exchanges, like a family talking to each other.
Simple yet instantly understood.
This feeling warmed Long Aotian's heart. In his previous life, he had been alone, and even after crossing over, he was still alone.
Now, in this world, he had a nominal father, experiencing what it felt like to have family.
This feeling was now present with Hu Yuying, but it wasn’t the warmth an old man could provide.
Perhaps at this moment, Hu Yuying felt it too.
So they said nothing, simply enjoying the fleeting yet captivating atmosphere.
Watching Hu Yuying, who had played all day, her eyelids began to droop.
Long Aotian withdrew his hand, wanting her to get a good night's sleep.
"Long Aotian." Hu Yuying murmured softly, holding onto his hand tightly, shifting her body to leave a large space behind her.
Long Aotian understood her intentions. On the train to Kyoto, he had dreamed of holding Hu Yuying as they slept.
Just like now, feeling her slightly trembling body and the faint fragrance emanating from her, in the quiet darkness, his heartbeat quickened, reminding him that this time it wasn’t a dream...

Chapter 228: I Feel Like We’re So Bad
Feeling the breath of the person behind her gradually even out.
In the darkness, Hu Yuying turned to face Long Aotian.
Her fingertips lightly traced his brow in the air.
Gently, she took his hand and placed it on her waist, wanting him to hold her.
After doing all this, she playfully rubbed her nose against his, secretly delighted.
In the next moment, the hand resting on her waist tightened around her.
With a gentle push, their foreheads naturally touched.
Hu Yuying blinked. "Long Aotian, are you still awake?"
Long Aotian lightly tapped her lips, feigning annoyance. "Go to sleep."
Resting her head on his arm, enveloped in his embrace, she felt a profound sense of security.
Burying her little head in his chest, she found a comfortable position and slowly closed her eyes.
But soon, Hu Yuying opened her eyes again, sensing something, her bright eyes blinking in the dark.
"Curiosity can get you into trouble." Long Aotian caught her restless hand.
Then he covered her eyes with his palm. "If you don’t sleep, don’t blame me for punishing you."
Hu Yuying was quite curious about how Long Aotian would punish her.
So she quietly leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "Long Aotian, how are you going to punish me?"
"You want to know?"
Hu Yuying nodded. "Can you tell me, Long Aotian?"
In the next second...
The little bunny was stammering...
"Are you being good now?" Long Aotian swallowed hard in the darkness.
Hu Yuying curled up, obediently nodding. "I’m being good."
After lying back down, Hu Yuying nestled under the covers, finally burrowing back into Long Aotian's embrace, her voice small and a bit aggrieved. "Long Aotian, you’re so bad..."
In the darkness, Hu Yuying's face was flushed, her eyes misty like a little fox, biting her lip, every movement exuding charm.
Listening to her slightly resentful and aggrieved complaints, Long Aotian stiffened, his palms sweating.
He held Hu Yuying tightly in his arms.
"Hu Yuying, my little Yuying, sometimes I really don’t know what to do with you..."
"I’m Long Aotian’s Yuying, just his alone..."
After saying this, Hu Yuying felt a tickle in her nose and couldn’t help but sneeze.
Long Aotian pulled the blanket up, covering her snugly, making sure every corner was tucked in. "You better not catch a cold, or I’ll definitely scold you!"
Hu Yuying rubbed her nose. "I don’t want to catch a cold..." She tightened her hold on Long Aotian.
She definitely didn’t want to catch a cold; otherwise, she couldn’t be with Long Aotian...

In the small hotel room.
Li Qingxue lay on the bed, looking utterly embarrassed. "My eyes are so dirty, so dirty."
Lin Wanning chuckled. "Who was it that couldn’t take their eyes off the screen just now?"
