Just as Lin Zhengran lifted his hand, Han Wenwen collapsed into his arms, wrapping her arms around his body.

She lowered her head deliberately.

The aning was clear—Zhengran-ge, hurry up and pat my head, I’m ready.

Lin Zhengran couldn’t help but admire this fox’s natural talent for acting spoiled.

It was as if she had been born for this.

He ran his fingers through her silky black hair, and Han Wenwen buried half her face against his chest, looking completely at ease.

Her legs curled up instinctively, resting against his.

"Mmm… Zhengran-ge’s hands are so big," she murmured, her fingers trailing along his toned chest.

One hand rested against his abdon, moving lazily up and down.

Tracing from his stomach to his chest.

Then from his chest back down.

She was clearly enjoying the feel of his firm muscles.

At so point, she even thought—this damn shirt is in the way.

She was tempted to slide her hand underneath his clothes.

But before she could—

Thwack!

Lin Zhengran flicked her forehead as a warning.

Han Wenwen pouted.

"Zhengran-ge isn’t a girl. What’s the big deal if I touch a little?"

"Behave."

Lin Zhengran changed the subject.

"What are we eating tonight? Didn’t you say there was more than just chicken cutlets?"

Han Wenwen looked up at him, but her fingers didn’t stop tracing circles on his abs.

"Yeah, I said there were other options."

She began counting with her fingers.

"Let’s see… We have: burnt chicken cutlets, expired snacks, and, oh! The most delicious option of all—."

She grinned mischievously.

"Zhengran-ge can pick anything for dinner."

Lin Zhengran didn’t even react—he had expected this answer.

Still, he played along.

"Are you sure?"

"Mhmm, absolutely sure."

"Then I pick you. But as food, are you properly cleaned?"

Han Wenwen smugly nodded.

"Of course! First thing I did this morning was take a bath. So, Zhengran-ge… where do you want to start?"

Lin Zhengran’s gaze swept over her, his lips curling slightly.

"Let’s start with your neck."

A dangerous thought crossed his mind.

This fox had been restless for too long—maybe it was ti to teach her a lesson.

"Okay."

Han Wenwen sat up, but since she wasn’t tall enough, she knelt in front of him instead.

Tilting her head back, she exposed her slender, swan-like neck.

She even pulled down the collar of her hanfu, revealing more of her delicate, snow-white skin.

"Here you go, Zhengran-ge~" she said, cheeks slightly flushed.

Lin Zhengran didn’t hold back this ti.

Instead of ignoring her teasing like before—

He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.

"Huh—?"

A small gasp escaped her lips.

His warm breath brushed against her neck, making her body tremble instinctively.

No matter how much she loved flirting, no matter how much she pretended to be bold—

At the end of the day, she was still a girl who had never been touched before.

And at the mont of real intimacy—

Her body’s natural reaction betrayed her.

A simple embrace.

A slight shift in temperature.

It was enough to send waves of shivers through her body.

Her heartbeat pounded violently, her breath growing uneven.

She lowered her gaze, seeing Lin Zhengran’s serious expression.

Like a predator watching its captured prey.

Her face turned completely red.

Lin Zhengran studied her reaction carefully.

Then, in a low and deliberate voice, he asked:

"I’ll ask you one more ti—are you sure you’re ready for this?"

Han Wenwen’s eyes glistened, and she bit her lower lip.

Her breathing was erratic, her chest rising and falling rapidly.

Turning her head away slightly, she hesitated—her voice soft and almost trembling.

"I… I was wrong…"

Her fingers clenched slightly.

"Not… not yet. It’s too soon… I’m not ready."

She swallowed.

"And… and you’re not even staying the night. If we really did that, I’d have to sleep alone after, and I’d probably be scared."

Her fingers tightened even more.

"Let’s… let’s wait for the right ti. When you’re staying the night… or if you really can’t hold back, maybe I can… use my hands instead?"

Her voice was barely above a whisper.

Lin Zhengran chuckled.

Letting go of her waist, he stood up.

"Go get dressed. I’ll take you downstairs to buy groceries."

Han Wenwen froze.

She looked up at him—her expression stunned.

For a split second, she had actually worried that he might be angry at her rejection.

Of course, if Lin Zhengran really wanted to, she wouldn’t refuse.

But then she saw his amused expression.

Slowly, he exhaled.

"You're so bad at this."

That’s when she realized—

He had been ssing with her the entire ti.

He had never actually intended to do anything.

Her face turned scarlet.

"You—!"

She couldn’t even find the words.

Covering her face with both hands, she collapsed onto the bed, curling up into a ball.

"Zhengran-ge, you’re so an! You used to be so serious—why are you like this now?!"

Her heart was still racing.

Her fingers clutched the blanket tightly.

Even her breathing was uneven—she had actually ntally prepared herself just now!

Thinking back to her own thoughts earlier, she wanted to hide forever.

"Wenwen?"

Hearing him call her na, Han Wenwen’s body jolted slightly.

She turned around slowly, her face still flushed red.

"W-What?"

Lin Zhengran tilted his head.

"Still flustered? Hurry up and get changed—we’re going grocery shopping."

Han Wenwen stared at him for a mont.

Then, pouting pitifully, she opened her arms.

"…Hug ."

Lin Zhengran blinked.

She really was shaken up, huh?

With a small sigh, he walked over.

The mont he got close, Han Wenwen shot up—kneeling on the bed—and imdiately wrapped herself around him.

Her arms locked around his shoulders, and she nuzzled against his chest.

She stayed like that for a long ti.

Only when she finally cald down did she reluctantly let go.

Later that night, with her face still slightly flushed, Han Wenwen went shopping with Lin Zhengran.

On the way back, Lin Zhengran asked Han Wenwen, "Do you want to eat out instead? That way, we don’t have to deal with cleaning up at ho."

But Han Wenwen loved the feeling of "ho."

If she could stay at ho with Lin Zhengran, then there was no reason to go out—unless other people were involved.

"Nope, let’s eat at ho."

That night, the two of them carried so vegetables, noodles, and a whole roasted chicken back to her apartnt.

Han Wenwen sat close to Lin Zhengran, looking soft and delicate beside him.

They sat on a blanket spread on the floor, using a simple folding table to hold their food.

She tore off a chicken leg and fed it to Lin Zhengran.

"Ahh~ Zhengran-ge, take the first bite!"

Lin Zhengran took a big bite.

As he chewed, Han Wenwen asked, "By the way, how’s Lily’s competition going? Did she win the championship yet? Last ti, Xiaoqing won first place. She was so excited about it when we were chatting in the dorm last week."

Thinking about the past few days, Lin Zhengran replied,

"Lily made it to the final rankings, but the final result won’t be announced for another two weeks."

"Two weeks? That’s so slow!"

"Yeah. The results should’ve co out sooner, but because of so issues, they extended the voting period to make sure everything is fair."

Han Wenwen nodded in understanding, then asked, "So… what’s Zhengran-ge’s plan for tomorrow?"

"I’m taking Lily to the movies. We already made plans."

Han Wenwen froze mid-chew.

Then, without a word, she yanked back the chicken leg from Lin Zhengran’s hand and started biting into it aggressively.

"I knew you wouldn’t have ti for tomorrow," she muttered.

"Well, this week is Lily’s turn. Next week, I’ll properly spend ti with you."

Han Wenwen chewed her chicken leg angrily but knew she couldn’t really complain.

After all, with three girlfriends, things had to be fair.

And honestly, the fact that he ca to see her today was already a special treat.

Still, she reminded him yet again, "Then don’t forget! Next week, you have to stay over! You promised—no backing out!"

"I won’t back out."

Han Wenwen smiled and leaned against his shoulder.

Lin Zhengran frowned. "Can you eat properly? Last ti I took you to the snack street, I ca back to the dorm and found oil stains all over my clothes."

"No way! I’ll be careful this ti! I’m just leaning while eating—there’s no way—"

Drip.

A drop of chicken grease fell onto Lin Zhengran’s pants.

He stared at her wordlessly.

Han Wenwen froze, blinked, and then quickly wiped it with her hand.

But instead of fixing the problem, she just sared more oil on his pants.

Her face went blank.

"Uh… uh… it’s fine! I’ll wash it for you, okay?"

Then, as if suddenly getting an idea, she bead.

"Actually, Zhengran-ge, you should just leave so extra clothes at my place! I an, my ho is your ho, right? You should at least have a change of clothes here!"

Lin Zhengran actually considered it for a mont.

He really did co over here a lot. It wouldn’t hurt to leave a few things here.

"Maybe I’ll buy so and leave them here."

Han Wenwen lit up instantly.

"Really?! Yay! I’ll make a special spot just for your clothes!"

After dinner, Lin Zhengran chatted with Han Wenwen for a while.

Ti passed without them realizing it, and before they knew it, it was already 9 PM.

Under Han Wenwen’s reluctant gaze, Lin Zhengran finally got up to leave.

She even walked him downstairs, watching him until his figure disappeared into the night.

Only then did she slowly head back inside.

anwhile…

In a nearby apartnt, a certain twin-ponytailed girl was wide awake in her bedroom.

Last ti, she couldn’t sleep because she was upset.

This ti, she couldn’t sleep because she was too happy.

Tomorrow, she was going on a movie date with Lin Zhengran!

Jiang Xueli tossed and turned on her bed, unable to contain her excitent.

Her big, lively eyes stayed wide open, staring at the ceiling even at 3 AM.

She humd to herself,

"Tomorrow is movie day~ Tomorrow is movie day~"

Her heart was full and content.

The Next Morning

As the sunlight stread in, Jiang Xueli sat up in bed and clutched her head.

"I… I pulled another all-nighter?!"

But after checking the ti, she realized it was too late to go back to sleep.

Instead, she jumped out of bed, rushed to the bathroom, and started washing up.

She put on the outfit she had spent all of yesterday picking out.

After brushing her teeth and fixing her hair, she examined herself in the mirror.

Her eyes were a little tired, but overall, she still looked full of energy.

"I should be fine, right? This is different from last ti! This ti, I lost sleep because I was excited, not because I was upset! I definitely won’t fall asleep during the movie!"

She nodded firmly to herself.

At 8 AM sharp, Jiang Xueli called Lin Zhengran.

The two t up at their usual spot—the crossroads near their hos.

Jiang Xueli waved happily, flashing a playful smile.

"Zhengran! Good morning! So, where are we watching the movie?"

Her small tiger teeth peeked out as she grinned.

Lin Zhengran hailed a taxi and opened the door for her.

"We’re going to the city. You haven’t had breakfast yet, right? Let’s grab sothing to eat first."
