Chapter 83 Forbidden Love
After arriving at the Dongsheng Neighborhood, Shen Yuan parked the car and started to help Lih Xiao unload her luggage. Fortunately, there was an elevator here, otherwise, carrying luggage up the stairs would have really been exhausting.
In fact, Shen Yuan could have called the movers to help Lih Xiao, and she would have gotten a triple return on her expenses, but if he did that, Lih Xiao wouldn't have been able to see him panting and struggling with the luggage.
So Shen Yuan decided to move it himself.
Sure enough, when Shen Yuan brought the last snakeskin bag into the house, Lih Xiao's Feel-good Index experienced a change, rising from 67 to 69.
However, after busying himself all morning, it only increased by two points, while Coach Liew managed to increase it by seven points in just two hours the previous night. By comparison, the progress with Lih Xiao was indeed slower.
It seems like there's a long road ahead~
"Huff~"
Shen Yuan put the last cardboard box into the living room, took a deep breath, and subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Shen Yuan, here."
A slender and fair arm handed over a bottle of mineral water. Shen Yuan smiled, reached out to take the mineral water, but as he took the bottle, his hand brushed against Lih Xiao's delicate hand.
Like she had been electrocuted, Lih Xiao quickly pulled away, and said with feigned annoyance, "What are you doing~"
"My mistake, my mistake~"
Shen Yuan grinned.
Lih Xiao huffed and ignored the student who took advantage of her with his hands and mouth.
They had just moved the luggage upstairs, and there was still a lot to do, such as bringing the corresponding bags to the bedroom or kitchen, and tidying up the room.
Lih Xiao planned to move her clothes to the bedroom first, so she grabbed a snakeskin bag and started walking inward.
"Hiss~"
What she didn't expect was that the quality of this old snakeskin bag was so poor, it tore as soon as she pulled it, and the clothes inside fell all over the floor.
To make things more embarrassing, those that fell were all her intimates.
Lih Xiao's cheeks instantly turned crimson, and she hurriedly squatted down to pick them up.
If she had known, she wouldn't have used the snakeskin bag....
It was something she had kept since college, and she never threw it away thinking it could be used for moving.
Seeing these things he shouldn't have seen, Shen Yuan's eyelids twitched involuntarily, thinking to himself that the counselor was really innocent.
Because the colors of those clothes were mostly white, pink, or light blue, with none of those bold red or black hues.
As for the styles, they were quite plain without any lace or hollow-out designs.
Lih Xiao, with her face still flushed, didn't dare look at Shen Yuan's expression. She quickly gathered the fallen bras and panties and stuffed them into the snakeskin bag.
But the drawstring of the snakeskin bag had broken; it couldn't be pulled or carried, only pushed. Lih Xiao, with her small strength, pushed it slowly. Eventually, Shen Yuan couldn't stand by any longer, so he walked over to help her push it.
"Thank you."
Lih Xiao, with a bright red face, whispered her thanks from behind, her head down.
"No need to thank me, let's sleep together when you're free."
Shen Yuan said cheerfully.
"You... "
Lih Xiao looked at Shen Yuan's back, wanting to retort, but how could she win verbally against such a rogue?
"Shen Yuan, you worked hard today. Let me treat you to lunch."
Lih Xiao shifted the subject.
After Shen Yuan placed the snakeskin bag properly, he turned around and said, "Actually, there are other ways to show gratitude besides eating."
"Then how should I...."
"Mmm...."
Shen Yuan pinned Lih Xiao against the wall and began to cast a spell on her tender lips.
Lih Xiao's eyes widened instinctively, not expecting Shen Yuan to be so bold as to kiss her outright. She tried to pull away instinctively, but her strength was naturally weak, and moving luggage had made her somewhat fatigued; now, she had even less energy to resist.
Shen Yuan, savoring the faint fragrance emanating from Lih Xiao, automatically placed his hands on her soft waist, then began to slowly move them up.
"Mmm...."
Lih Xiao wriggled to escape, but Shen Yuan's movements seemed to have a magical power that made her feel weak all over, even draining the last of her strength.
Later on, Shen Yuan released his mouth from hers to let Lih Xiao's breathing even out a bit, but his movements didn't stop—he gently bit her ear.
"Thump thump!"
A sudden knock on the door came from outside, probably Lih Meng returning. Shen Yuan timely stopped his actions and put down the softened clay in his arms.
Lih Xiao was even more startled, if her sister were to see this, she'd be doomed!
But at this moment, she was powerless to do anything but lean against the wall. If it weren't for hooking her arms around Shen Yuan's neck, she would have already slid down. The button at her back had been undone by Shen Yuan, and with teeth clenched, Lih Xiao looked at Shen Yuan with pleading and urgent eyes.
"It's okay, I'll help you."
Shen Yuan touched her lips, signaling her to relax, then reached forward to button her up, smoothed out the T-shirt, and then helped her sit down on the couch.
After he had done all this, Shen Yuan went to open the door.
"Where's my sister?"
Lih Meng looked at Shen Yuan with surprise.
Shen Yuan casually answered, "Your sister's a bit tired, resting on the couch for a bit."
"Oh."
Lih Meng entered the room and saw Lih Xiao indeed sitting on the couch, but she seemed off, as her skin was flushed, and her gaze somewhat dazed.
Could it be, she got heatstroke from moving?
Lih Meng hurried over, concerned, "Sister, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just need to rest a while."
Lih Xiao feigned composure and shook her head.
"Why is your face so red?"
"I was just moving stuff."
"Let me get you some water."
Lih Xiao breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, feeling fortunate. Thankfully, Lih Meng didn't associate that thought with anything else, otherwise, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't wash him clean.
But Shen Yuan, that girl, really had some nerve!
That was the first kiss!
Lih Xiao felt annoyed, but he was utterly helpless. He turned his head to glance at Shen Yuan, and that girl was still smiling!
Humph!
Feeling a bit uneasy, Lih Xiao rested for a while before suggesting they go out for lunch.
After lunch, Shen Yuan, the unconcerned fellow, went back to school. He had already added Fu Yingzi on WeChat, and the two had agreed to meet in the afternoon.
Lih Xiao, who didn't have classes that afternoon, went home with Lih Meng to continue packing.
"Sis, what exactly do you think of this student?"
While they were packing luggage in the living room, Lih Meng couldn't help asking.
Thinking she had given something away, Lih Xiao unnaturally brushed her hair and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb with me. I've seen through it. Your student definitely has ideas, and you two are so close, it's not just a normal teacher-student relationship," said Lih Meng.
"Um..."
Lih Xiao's cheeks couldn't help but redden a bit. "Actually, I don't know. I'm not quite sure."
Seeing the look on her sister's face, Lih Meng sighed softly. "It's over, I knew it, you've got spring fever."
"Actually, setting aside that he's your student, he's pretty okay in all aspects, but I always feel he's not very reliable."
After pondering, Lih Meng added, "The main thing is what you think."
"You don't object?"
Lih Xiao felt it was a bit strange.
"Would my objection make a difference? It's your life, I don't have the right to interfere. But I still want to remind you to keep your eyes peeled, observe more, and see if this person is worth your love."
"..."
Meanwhile.
Shen Yuan drove back to the international campus. She had recently added Fu Yingzi on WeChat, and since she had classes in the afternoon, they agreed to meet at 3:50 PM.
By the time Shen Yuan got back to dormitory 503, it was already past 1 PM. Pushing the door open, Ye Zhiyang and Cao Shunjin were shooting the breeze.
"Yuan bro, you're back?"
Ye Zhiyang said with a smile.
"Yeah, what's up?"
Shen Yuan looked up at Ye Zhiyang, puzzled as to why this guy had been coming to their dormitory so often lately.
"Hehe, just here to chat with you guys."
Ye Zhiyang said with a simple smile.
Lately, with Shen Yuan absent from school, they had no idea what had happened.
Ever since Lui Zhaojiang and Kong Zongping personally invited Shen Yuan for a meal at the dorm, it had caused quite a stir in the class, and everyone was speculating that Shen Yuan's background was definitely not simple.
Furthermore, the news that Shen Yuan had switched to driving a Defender had spread from the mouths of Ye Zhiyang and Huang Haibao.
Having a classmate with connections and money, many people were thinking of getting in his good graces.
It wasn't just Ye Zhiyang; other male students from the class would often visit dorm 503, keeping Huang Haibao and Cao Shunjin so busy that they didn't even have time to play games or read novels, always chatting about gossip with them.
This was quite normal, after all, there were quite a few who used to suck up to Li Zhanpeng, but now those people felt he wasn't worth it and were looking for someone else to flatter.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
However, Shen Yuan hadn't been back to school these past few days. Some who had come to see him twice without success gradually stopped coming. But Ye Zhiyang was persistent, insisting on visiting once in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
Shen Yuan himself didn't care about these things. He estimated that as the entrepreneurship base's projects gradually unfolded, his influence at school would grow ever larger.
"Where's Old Huang?"
Shen Yuan looked around and noticed someone was missing from the dorm.
"That damn dog went to have lunch with Tian Yuping. Goddamn, I spent half a bottle of hairspray this morning just to fix up those few strands of his hair," Cao Shunjin cursed, unclear whether he was annoyed at Old Huang going on a date or at the loss of hairspray.
Ye Zhiyang also sighed. After three years of college, he and Old Cao were in the same boat, setting off firecrackers on their own. If Shen Yuan had someone, they would just accept it, as he was handsome and rich.
But Huang Haibao was no better than him, and yet he managed to find someone, which was rather upsetting for them.
"This kid is doing alright."
Shen Yuan smiled. "Weren't you supposed to go this weekend?"
Cao Shunjin said sourly, "He's been super attentive these past few days, so Tian Yuping agreed to go out to eat with him."
"I see."
Shen Yuan responded noncommittally, planning to take a shower and then a nap, as there were still two hours until his meet-up with Fu Yingzi.
10 minutes later, Huang Haibao returned to the dorm, dragging his heavy steps.
"Old Huang, how was your battle?"
Ye Zhiyang couldn't help asking.
"Battle?"
Huang Haibao leaned against the dorm door and sneered, "What fucking battle? It's more like casualties."
Cao Shunjin and Ye Zhiyang looked at each other, baffled.
Shen Yuan had just come out from the shower and sensing something off, he stepped forward to ask, "Old Huang, what's the matter?"
"Old Third, I'm such a damn fool!"
Unable to hold back any longer, Huang Haibao shouted painfully, "That bitch Tian Yuping called out 5 girls today and had me foot a lunch bill of 1800 at the restaurant!"
"....."
