"I'm good, I didn't forget the key; it's in my pocket. I'll be right there, just wait for me at the alley entrance," she said, jogging towards the courtyard.
"Hurry up, you little fool! We won't wait for you much longer!" someone called out to Lin Wan Ning's retreating figure.
After that, she turned to Hu Yu Ying, "Let's go wait for her at the alley. I'll buy you a soda."
"No way! Long Ge said I shouldn't drink soda during my period."
"Come on, if I don't say anything, he won't know. Besides, drinking soda is fine. I do it all the time when I'm on my period. Long Ao Tian is just a big guy who doesn't understand."
In the past, Hu Yu Ying barely made enough to support herself, let alone have spare change for soda. So when Long Ge mentioned precautions during her period, she obediently listened.
Meanwhile, Lin Wan Ning had returned to the courtyard, opening the door and retrieving her phone from the bench.
Taking a deep breath, she approached Long Ao Tian, who was sound asleep. Her cool gaze softened as she looked at him.
She gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and leaned down to kiss the corner of his lips, clumsily trying to pry his mouth open.
In the next moment, she shivered as she felt Long Ao Tian's response.
Her delicate lashes trembled, and the beauty mark at the corner of her eye flushed with a hint of red, making her look particularly captivating.
Her heart raced uncontrollably, like a thief savoring a fleeting moment stolen in time.
Loving someone is an uncontrollable urge, requiring no justification.
In that instant of infatuation, right and wrong seemed to lose their significance...

Chapter 314: Why Do You Look So Guilty?
Quietly closing the door behind her, she jogged towards the alley.
The blush on her cheeks resembled that of a kitten caught in a moment of mischief, and the smile at the corner of her lips became soft and beautiful.
As she ran, she hoped that the exercise would calm her racing heart just a little.
"Here, this is for you," Hu Yu Ying said, handing Lin Wan Ning an unopened bottle of soda.
Looking at her rosy cheeks and her eyes sparkling with a hint of daze, Hu Yu Ying chuckled, "Qing Xue was just joking. How could we not wait for you? Look at how anxious you are!"
As she spoke, she reached up to gently wipe Lin Wan Ning's forehead.
Feeling Hu Yu Ying's small hand brushing against her cheek, Lin Wan Ning's gaze involuntarily shifted to her eyes.
Those smiling eyes were so beautiful; she was always so gentle and serene.
It was as if Hu Yu Ying possessed a magical charm that calmed Lin Wan Ning, who was gradually feeling breathless.
Noticing Lin Wan Ning's gaze, Hu Yu Ying chuckled softly, her fingertip brushing against the beauty mark at the corner of her eye, "What’s up? Why do you look so guilty?"
Hearing this, Lin Wan Ning's eyes suddenly darted away, "No, you really look beautiful."
"You look beautiful too."
"Enough already! You two are both beautiful; is that good enough? Let’s go take a shower! It’s been ages since I’ve had a chance to mess with you guys; my hands are itching!"
Li Qing Xue said cheerfully, her smile radiating joy, as if she gathered all the beauty in the world and effortlessly spread that happiness to everyone around her.
She pulled the two of them towards the bathhouse.
"I want to share a bathtub with Yu Ying."
"No way! You two go ahead; I’ll get a room to myself. My period hasn’t ended yet."
"Then you can use the shower while we use the bathtub," Lin Wan Ning said softly, unsure if Hu Yu Ying's earlier comment had affected her; she now found it hard to face Hu Yu Ying directly.
She had a little secret that she couldn’t share with anyone else, a secret that was destined to remain known only to her.
"Maybe we should skip it," Hu Yu Ying declined.
Even though they were all girls and all had their periods, it still felt a bit inappropriate.
The most important thing was that she had earned a little money and could afford it.
"What are you afraid of? We’re all girls; we all have those uncomfortable days. Are you worried we’ll be disgusted by you?" Li Qing Xue laughed, saying this.
In the end, under Hu Yu Ying's insistence, they booked a single room and a double room.
"How about I come find you after I finish cleaning up?" Hu Yu Ying suggested tentatively, noticing Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning's sighs.
"Sure! We’ll wait for you to come over."
"I still prefer the atmosphere when the three of us shower together," Lin Wan Ning said softly.
Indeed, the three of them had shared so many firsts together.
The first time they showered together, the first time they booked a room together, the first time they snuggled under a blanket to watch videos—there were countless firsts shared among the three of them.
Now, even showering felt like something they didn’t want to do separately.
Girls are such fascinating creatures; when they’re apart, they manage just fine—showering, eating, sleeping all on their own...
But once they’re together, they cling to each other, even wanting company for the simplest things, like going to the bathroom...
As they entered the private room.
While undressing, Li Qing Xue tilted her head, her eyes fixed on Lin Wan Ning without blinking.
"What are you staring at? I have what you have, don’t I?" Lin Wan Ning asked, puzzled.
"What’s that on you?" Li Qing Xue pointed at a red mark on Lin Wan Ning's skin.
Glancing down at the mark, Lin Wan Ning instinctively raised her hand to cover it.
A faint blush crept onto her fair face.
When she had stolen a kiss from her brother, his unconscious response had been to gently squeeze her through her clothes.
That mark was likely from when she accidentally pulled his hand away from her clothing.
She hadn’t expected Li Qing Xue to notice it right away.
It wasn’t Li Qing Xue’s fault; Lin Wan Ning’s skin was so fair and flawless that the red mark stood out starkly against her perfect complexion.
"This might be from when I was adjusting my underwear and accidentally scratched myself with my nails."
"Really? Does it hurt? Let me check," Li Qing Xue said, reaching out to examine it.
Lin Wan Ning bit her lip, enduring the tingling sensation coursing through her body. Afraid Li Qing Xue would ask more questions, she let her play around.
Steam gradually filled the room, and the blush on her face deepened.
This time, half of her reaction was from embarrassment, and half was from the heat of the steam.
Lin Wan Ning's breathing quickened as she watched Li Qing Xue, who was clearly enjoying herself, and she took the initiative to help her out of her clothes.
Li Qing Xue was thrilled; usually, she couldn’t resist Lin Wan Ning and often ended up being teased by her. Today, she finally found an opportunity to get back at her.
Seeing the red marks on her body replaced by the ones Li Qing Xue had caused, she smirked, deciding not to let her play anymore.
They splashed into the freshly filled bathtub, chatting and waiting for Hu Yu Ying to join them.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Qing Xue asked, noticing Lin Wan Ning seemed lost in thought.
Lin Wan Ning suddenly snapped back to reality, looking confused, "Huh? What did you just say, Qing Xue?"

"What's wrong with you? Why do you keep zoning out?" Li Qing Xue teased, leaning over the edge of the bathtub. "You look guilty."
"I’m not! I just had a big lunch."
"Old folks say that a full stomach leads to lustful thoughts. You’ve eaten well and are soaking in hot water, so you must be daydreaming about love, right?"
Just as she was about to say more, there was a sudden knock at the door.
Hearing the knock, Lin Wan Ning reacted strongly, "Qing Xue, don’t say anything silly in front of Yu Ying!"
Seeing Lin Wan Ning react so intensely for the first time, Li Qing Xue raised an eyebrow, puzzled.
Before she could think it through, Lin Wan Ning had already slipped on her slippers and cautiously approached the door. After confirming it was Hu Yu Ying, she opened the door just a crack while trying to hide her figure.
"You finally made it! If you hadn’t come soon, we would have gone looking for you," Li Qing Xue said, standing up from the bathtub. Her figure was perfectly curvy, not a bit more or less would do justice to her beauty.
"Come here and let me hug you! Soon, Long Ao Tian will monopolize you, so hurry up and come close..."
Hearing this, Hu Yu Ying turned to Lin Wan Ning, "Have you two been watching videos behind my back again?"
Lin Wan Ning shrugged, "Li asked me for the link, but looking at her now, she’s probably been watching a lot."
