Shen Yuan narrowed his eyes: "I'll sleep here tonight. When we go to bed, you can show by wearing it, can't you?"
"Ah, that… that's impossible."
Su Xuewei beca even more bashful, clutching the bedsheet tightly in her hands.
"What's impossible about it?"
"Mom, Xiaojie, they're all at ho."
Su Xuewei hunched her shoulders and lowered her head, too embarrassed to look at Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan chuckled: "So you're suggesting we get a room outside then?"
"No, no, that's not it."
Su Xuewei frantically shook her head. "I…I'm not ready for that yet."
Even if she was innocent, there was no way she didn't understand what Shen Yuan intended.
Shen Yuan perfectly serious: "What's there to prepare? I'm just simply sleeping with you, nothing else."
"I don't believe you."
Su Xuewei bit her lower lip tightly, her face as red as blood.
"You know my character. I never force girls into anything."
Su Xuewei glanced at him quickly, then imdiately lowered her head again: "But… but you always tease ."
"Co on, that's just how I express my love."
Shen Yuan's tone grew solemn: "Are you saying you don't like ?"
"Wh-what? How could that be?"
Su Xuewei quickly defended herself.
"Then there we go. I like you, you like ; so what's wrong with us sharing a bed?"
"I…I'm scared."
"Don't be scared. After all, we're bound to sleep in the sa bed sooner or later. Relax."
Shen Yuan gently patted her head and picked up his phone: "Alright then, I'll book a room."
Su Xuewei's lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say sothing, but in the end, she just bowed her head.
"Don't worry. As for Auntie, I'll explain things to her for you."
Shen Yuan knew what she was worried about, but he was confident. In his judgnt, Mother Su would definitely not object. After the two had been together for so long, plus with how well he treated them—helping them move out of the cramped old housing unit, renting them a comfortable flat in a decent neighborhood, always bringing gifts for Xiaojie—Mother Su had seen all of this. It would be unreasonable for her to refuse.
"Don't tell her we're going to a hotel… Just say you're coming to my place for fun, okay?"
Su Xuewei looked at Shen Yuan anxiously, her eyes pleading.
"No problem."
Shen Yuan gestured an OK, though he had considered taking Su Xuewei straight to his own ho. However, he was worried she might feel uneasy seeing Ji Ya and Tan Xin there. Knowing her sensitivity, Shen Yuan was careful not to overcomplicate matters.
Co to think of it, this was probably the first ti Shen Yuan had gone through so much effort just to coax a girl into getting a room. In the past, he never needed this much persuasion—either the girls were already waiting for him in a hotel, or they'd go straight to his house.
Reflecting on it gave him a vague sense of guilt… Shen Yuan lovingly ruffled Su Xuewei's hair, promising silently—Don't worry, tonight I'll be gentle with you.
"Y-you go out first; I need to pack so things." Su Xuewei said, biting her lip.
"Go ahead and pack, what's the big deal?"
"I can't when you're here." Su Xuewei pouted and looked at him pitifully.
"Alright."
Shen Yuan exhaled a long sigh, then walked out of the room.
Honestly, they've known each other for so long, yet she was still this shy.
While waiting in the living room for a while, Su Jingjie ca in pushing Mother Su's wheelchair. Shen Yuan greeted them briefly and said: "Auntie, I'm planning to take Xuewei to my place tonight. I'll bring her back tomorrow morning."
Mother Su hesitated for a mont, an odd expression flashing across her face. Then she nodded: "Alright."
Su Jingjie raised his tiny face and chid in: "Can she co back by nine o'clock? I want my sister to tell a bedti story."
The corner of Shen Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, thinking to himself that clearly the practice workbook hadn't been enough—he'd have to add a few more test papers.
Mother Su pulled Su Jingjie close and stroked his head: "Don't worry, tonight I'll tell you one instead."
"Fine then." Su Jingjie muttered gloomily.
Shortly after, Su Xuewei erged with flushed cheeks, a single-strap bag slung over her shoulder. She didn't dare et her mother's gaze, looking every bit like a nervous girl sneaking away to spend the night with her boyfriend. After quickly grabbing Shen Yuan's arm, she mumbled a hurried goodbye and rushed out the door.
"Mom, I'm leaving now."
