However, Lin Kuang was by no means a brute. When he was with a woman, it was always consensual. How could he possibly force himself on someone?

With that thought, Lin Kuang stood up and walked over to the bed, reaching for the quilt to cover Zhantai Mingyue.

At that moment, however, Zhantai Mingyue’s foot shot out, aiming fiercely for Lin Kuang’s face.

Caught completely off guard, Lin Kuang was startled. The hand reaching for the quilt instantly retracted, swiftly catching Zhantai Mingyue’s foot instead.

"What are you doing? Damn it!" Lin Kuang exclaimed in frustration, still holding her small foot.

"You bastard, what were you trying to do?" Zhantai Mingyue demanded, her eyes now wide open and her face flushed with anger.

"Good grief, look at the state you’re sleeping in! I just wanted to cover you with a blanket. What’s all the fuss about?" Lin Kuang said irritably. No good deed goes unpunished!

Hearing his words, Zhantai Mingyue couldn’t help but look down at herself. Seeing her disheveled state, her pretty face reddened. Did I really misunderstand him?

"I... I didn’t know. I thought you were trying to take advantage of me," Zhantai Mingyue said, her face flushed.

"Pah! If I wanted to take advantage of you, I would have done it last night. Why would I wait until morning?" Lin Kuang retorted in frustration.

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Zhantai Mingyue was momentarily stunned. What he said did make sense; after all, early morning wasn’t the most appropriate time for that.

"Well, alright then. I misunderstood you," she said shyly, batting her big eyes at Lin Kuang and looking utterly pitiful.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang almost coughed up blood. Whenever this girl made the slightest mistake, she would give him that look, making it impossible for him to stay mad at her. It was her ultimate weapon! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Alright, forget it. Let’s just pretend I never said anything," Lin Kuang said helplessly.

"Then... can you let go of my foot, please?" Zhantai Mingyue asked innocently.

At her words, Lin Kuang quickly let go. "Who’d want to hold your smelly foot?"

"You’re the one who’s smelly! You are!" Zhantai Mingyue shouted, her face bright red.

"Yours is. I can’t be bothered to argue with you," Lin Kuang said before turning and heading to the bathroom to wash up.

Watching him leave, Zhantai Mingyue couldn’t help but pull a face at his back.

Remembering her clothes weren’t in this room, she returned to her own, blushing. The clothes she had washed yesterday still weren’t dry. With no other choice, she could only put on the white tracksuit Lin Kuang had given her.

After washing up, Lin Kuang accompanied the old man for a walk in the yard and then gave him a massage. Just then, Zhantai Mingyue, having also finished washing up, came over to the old man and began massaging his legs, looking like a very devoted daughter.

Seeing this scene, a faint smile touched Lin Kuang’s lips. Although this girl is sometimes as naive as a simpleton, she’s fundamentally kind-hearted. She’d at least make a good wife and a loving mother.

After breakfast, Lin Kuang walked with the old man for a little longer before the old man returned to his room.

"Lin Kuang, where are we going to have fun today?" Zhantai Mingyue asked, walking over with a wide smile.

"Fun, my foot! All you think about is having fun. When is your family coming to get you?" Lin Kuang asked grumpily.

"Do you hate me that much? If you do, then just send me back," Zhantai Mingyue pouted, looking up at Lin Kuang with her big, pitiful eyes. She looked genuinely hurt, as if she were about to burst into tears.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang’s heart lurched. He didn’t know why—perhaps it was instinct—but he reached out and pulled Mingyue into his arms. "Of course not! Why would I hate you? I was just saying it casually. Don’t take it seriously," he said quickly, his heart aching inexplicably as he recalled the look on her face just a moment ago.

Mingyue didn’t resist. She rested obediently in his embrace, her small hands shyly wrapping around his waist.

Feeling her small movements, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but smile faintly. I really don’t know what to do with this girl!

After a long moment, the two of them finally separated.

Zhantai Mingyue’s pretty face was beet red. She lowered her head, too shy to even look at Lin Kuang.

"Where do you want to go have fun? I’ll take you," Lin Kuang asked with a smile, looking at her blushing face.

"I... I don’t know. Anywhere you take me is fine," Zhantai Mingyue replied happily, her little face flushed. It seemed that just being with Lin Kuang was enough to make her happy.

"Ahem. Mingyue, you haven’t fallen for me, have you?" Lin Kuang couldn’t help but ask.

Though I know I’m very charming and have an almost supernatural allure for beautiful women, isn’t it a bit too soon for her to have fallen for me? Lin Kuang boasted shamelessly to himself.

Hearing his words, Mingyue’s face turned even redder. "Um, I like being with you, but you’re not allowed to get handsy with me."

Blushing, she admitted it. It seemed this girl wasn’t one to beat around the bush, and from her serious expression, she meant every word.

"Uh... really?" Lin Kuang asked in disbelief.

"Yes. Don’t you like me? I get the feeling you like me a lot," Zhantai Mingyue asked, blinking her big eyes at him.

Hearing this, Lin Kuang’s thoughts were in a whirl. Does she have to be so direct? I can get shy, too! Still, this feeling of being liked by a beautiful woman is damn exhilarating.

"Like you? How could I not like you!" Lin Kuang declared with a hearty laugh.

He then cupped Mingyue’s small face and planted a firm kiss on her red lips.

Zhantai Mingyue froze, her pretty face turning crimson. She nervously fidgeted with the hem of her clothes, and her bashful look sent a tickle of desire through Lin Kuang. He wanted nothing more than to carry her into a room and have a good, long ’talk about life.’

"Let’s go. I’ll take you out to have some fun," Lin Kuang said with a beaming smile, taking her small hand.

To be honest, I feel a little wicked, like a villainous uncle tricking a little girl with a lollipop. Of course, I’m not actually deceiving her. I genuinely like this girl, even though we’ve only known each other for a little over a day...

"Okay! Let’s go have fun!" As soon as fun was mentioned, Zhantai Mingyue was overjoyed.

Having grown up in the mountains, she had never seen anything like this before. She was naturally eager to explore, and the sheer variety of things in the big city was dazzling.

Hearing her happy reply, Lin Kuang agreed, and taking her hand, he turned to leave.

They drove around, going from malls to amusement parks, with plenty of stops for food.

He spent money like it was water, but Lin Kuang didn’t care. As long as this girl was happy, he was satisfied.
