Chapter 361: Chapter 169: Lying on the Kang Together

The two girls were actually very close. Their mutual connection to Su Ran didn’t make things awkward between them at all.

After Xiao Wanqing massaged her for a little while, Liu Jinyu finally felt better.

Su Ran said, "That’s what you get for hitting your little brother."

Liu Jinyu retorted, "If you misbehave again, I’ll hit you again."

Su Ran stretched. "I’m tired. I’m going to sleep." With that, he burrowed under the covers and closed his eyes.

However, the moment he lay down, the two of them hauled him back up.

Su Ran was on the verge of tears.

"What are you doing? You two might not want to sleep, but I do! Please, ladies, give me a break. I’m all played out. Why don’t you two play with each other?"

"You changed the subject earlier and still haven’t given a straight answer. Between me and Liu Jinyu, who do you like more? Do you want to be her little brother, or do you want to be my boyfriend? You’re giving us an answer tonight. We’re not letting you weasel your way out of it again."

"I want both, alright?!"

"...Shameless! You’re so greedy. I don’t like you anymore."

Xiao Wanqing gave Su Ran a light kick and snuggled under the covers on his left.

"...How did our whole dorm end up falling for you? You’re not my good little brother anymore."

Liu Jinyu also glared at Su Ran before burrowing under the covers on his right.

Phew~

Su Ran didn’t want to think about anything. He just lay there, perfectly still.

Lying between them, he kept his hands primly at his sides. He turned his head from side to side and saw that both girls had their backs to him, playing on their phones before bed.

’That’s fine by me.’

Now Su Ran could finally get some proper sleep. He closed his eyes, nestled comfortably in this haven of softness, and drifted off.

Gradually, all three of them fell asleep.

Su Ran usually slept on his side, so he turned to his right. His hand subconsciously reached out, finding Liu Jinyu. An unseen force seemed to draw her in, pulling her into his embrace. Su Ran’s head rested near her ear, his warm breath caressing her earlobe. In her deep sleep, she instinctively flinched, moving his hand from her chest to her waist.

Su Ran wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pulling her even closer. He held her for a while. Perhaps it was two restless hearts, or perhaps it was a late-night rush of hormones. Love, whose origins are a mystery, can strike with profound depth. Their lips slowly parted and drew together in a lingering kiss.

Gradually, her breathing grew hot and ragged.

Gradually, she felt a slight chill. At some point, her nightgown had come off.

"Don’t..."

She held Su Ran tightly, stopping him from going any further.

The night passed without further incident, their intimacy stopping just there.

...

Morning sunlight streamed into the cave dwelling, and Su Ran was woken by noises from outside. He got up and shook his head, recalling the previous night. ’Just the Finger Technique Fragrance, that’s all.’

’The two of them just weren’t ready to let go completely.’

Of course, Su Ran wasn’t going to pretend otherwise. As a guy, all he wanted to do right now was play a round of "Fight the Landlord."

’It’ll take more time, I guess.’

After washing up and heading outside, he saw the four girls and Aunt Luo playing with a shuttlecock in the courtyard.

"Thirty-nine, forty, forty-one... Su Ran, you’re so annoying!"

Aina was just about to break Liu Jinyu’s record of 42 kicks when Su Ran walked over, reached out, and snatched the shuttlecock out of the air. Furious, Aina marched up and gave Su Ran a couple of light punches. THUMP! THUMP! "I can’t stand you two siblings!"

Liu Jinyu giggled and gave Su Ran a thumbs-up. "Nice one, little brother."

What happened last night while they were fast asleep, how Su Ran "played" with them, was their private business. They didn’t speak of such things during the day. Daytime was for living life, and nighttime was for their *love* life.

"My turn," Xie Yiren said, taking off her jacket and stepping up to play.

Su Ran sat down beside Liu Jinyu, took the glass of milk she offered, and watched Xie Yiren play.

When it came to shuttlecock, Su Ran’s favorite player to watch was Xie Yiren. He was glad he hadn’t missed it.

All that jiggling... Watching Xie Yiren play shuttlecock was the perfect start to a beautiful day.

Xie Yiren bit her lip and glared at Su Ran. ’He’s not watching me play at all,’ she thought. ’His eyes are glued to my...’

"Thirty-two."

Xie Yiren lost. Huffing, she walked over and stomped on Su Ran’s foot. "You’re the worst!"

Su Ran just smiled. "My fault. Everything’s always my fault. I’m just one big mistake, right?"

The four women, each more beautiful than a flower, all tucked their hair back in unison and laughed. "Yes, you are a mistake! Hehehe..."

Cheerful laughter and the chirping of beautiful women—this was the life.

Aunt Luo looked at these young people, who had put their own lives on hold to come and help her through this difficult time, and her heart filled with warmth.

"Phew... I haven’t played shuttlecock in so long. I’m exhausted after just a few minutes."

Xie Yiren sat down next to Xiao Wanqing and took a few big gulps of water. GULP. GULP.

"Hehe, Yiren, you’re still out of shape," Aunt Luo said with a smile. Her gaze unintentionally swept across Xie Yiren’s neck, and her expression suddenly changed. There, at the collar of her T-shirt, something familiar was appearing. It was an ancient totem, slowly materializing on the young woman’s skin...
