"Shen Lingfeng..." Youyou lay limply in his embrace, each touch of the large hand at her back felt electric.

She blinked her eyes, curiously looking at him.

His actions were a bit too much, it was rare to see him like this.

Shen Lingfeng carried her out of the elevator, swiftly opened the door.

Kisses kept falling on her body, almost never stopping at any moment.

Youyou’s responses were almost involuntary, unknowingly straddling him, making the sofa sink down with them.

He lowered his head to kiss her pale slender neck, making her soft body press tightly against his firm chest.

Youyou’s body trembled slightly, partly out of fear, but mostly from a strange anticipation.

Sitting on him, her face turned bright red, her whole body heating up.

"Shen Lingfeng..." she called out his name softly and sweetly, lowering her head, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, burying her head.

The thin lips on her stopped at some unknown time, and the large hand gently held her at the back for a moment.

He spoke in a hoarse voice near her ear, "I’m going to take a shower, change clothes."

Youyou suddenly held his waist, her face red but she didn’t want to let go.

Even though she didn’t understand much, she knew he was restraining himself.

Not wanting to see him suffer like that, why didn’t he continue?

Youyou’s eyes were misty with light, yet she said nothing, just held him.

Shen Lingfeng bent down, kissed her on the lips, released her, and walked towards the bathroom.

He needed to calm down, and she did too.

Youyou hugged her knees, leaning in the corner of the sofa playing on her phone.

"Are you really sure about this?" Xue Mengmeng finally replied to her message.

"Yeah, I’ve thought it over. Mengmeng, I really like him, it’s not just a momentary impulse. Though I don’t know if he’ll marry me, I really want to marry him, so why wouldn’t I be willing?"

"Youyou, life is long, don’t lightly talk about spending a lifetime, okay?"

"I don’t care, I really like him now. I’m really in love with him, I feel like I was a fool before, why didn’t I catch him earlier?"

"Are you in love with him, or... ahem, in love with him."

"You’re so dirty..."

"Shen Lingfeng should be a normal guy, why don’t you just tell him what you want, maybe he’s afraid you don’t want to. Such a reserved guy, and from what I saw the last time we had dinner together, I think he’s already being very cautious with you, maybe afraid to scare you off."

Youyou stared at the WeChat message for a long time, sighing in her heart.

It’s the kind of frustration where you don’t even know where to begin.

Is this really something she has to say directly, and her meaning has been obvious, she thinks Shen Lingfeng understands.

Just like earlier, he just didn’t want to continue.

"If that’s the case, there are only two possibilities. First, he might not be very capable, afraid of you finding out. Second, traditionalist, conservative, thinks he shouldn’t touch you until marriage. But Youyou, given the first possibility, maybe you should test the goods early?"

Youyou was angry, "There’s no way it’s the first possibility!"

Xue Mengmeng calmly responded, "You haven’t tried it, you have no right to speak."

After being annoyed for a while, she received Mengmeng’s next message, "Alright, third possibility, men can be pretty oblivious, maybe he just didn’t get your hint. If you don’t want to say it directly, use another more direct way to hint at him. By the way, do you have any at your place?"
