Chapter 471 - 183: The Gold Medal Mother-in-law Assistant, This Night Is Not Quiet_2
He calculated the time. It had been seven or eight days since he left Modu for Shancheng, seven or eight days since he’d last been this intimate with Zhong Tingyue.
He couldn’t help but recall the feeling of being with her, a dual pleasure stemming from both body and spirit...
As Li Yuan’s fingertips gently slid across Zhong Tingyue’s back, he could feel her smooth skin even through her thin top. Zhong Tingyue’s figure was a masterpiece, a gift from God. Her slender waist, too delicate to grasp with a single hand, formed a perfect curve.
Her upbringing had included dedicated training in dance and yoga, which gave her body an incredible flexibility and the gentle, alluring charm characteristic of a Jiangnan girl. On top of that, she was a talented student from a prestigious 985 university with skills in music, calligraphy, and painting, all of which added to her unique charisma.
In Li Yuan’s heart, she was the perfect Goddess, possessing both beauty and intelligence. All other things being equal, he found this type of woman far more attractive than art students with poor grades. If one were to compare them to flowers, Xia Zhijin was like a lotus rising unstained from the mud, while Zhong Tingyue was a stunningly beautiful and coolly alluring rose. However, this red rose, wounded by love, had grown full of thorns...
As Li Yuan’s hands gently massaged her back, they slid down past her shoulders and suddenly wrapped around to the front. He lightly touched Little Moon’s pair of Nanas and gave them a subconscious squeeze.
Seeing his hands suddenly turn mischievous, Zhong Tingyue’s pretty face turned crimson. She swatted his demonic claws away and shot him a look of veiled resentment. "Senior!"
Zhong Tingyue’s pale face flushed with a rosy shyness, making her look like a delicate, ailing beauty.
Li Yuan, unconcerned, just let out a chuckle. "Little Moon, the moonlight is beautiful tonight."
Seeing him awkwardly change the subject, Zhong Tingyue let out a soft laugh. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her sparkling eyes filled with an inexplicable emotion. After a moment, she seemed to realize it wasn’t the right time for laughter and quickly composed herself, turning her head away to avoid looking at him.
When Li Yuan saw her charming smile, he couldn’t help but gently stroke her head. "Little Moon, you look so beautiful when you smile. You should smile more often."
Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips and murmured with pointed meaning, "But a certain bad guy is always making me cry."
Hearing the resentment and sourness in her tone, Li Yuan said nothing. Instead, he reached around and pulled her into an embrace from behind, letting her nestle into his chest.
Zhong Tingyue’s body trembled, but she didn’t pull away this time. Her heart pounded as she rested her head against his chest, listening to the steady, powerful rhythm of his heartbeat.
Li Yuan lowered his head, breathing in the faint scent from her jade-white forehead as he spoke affectionately. "Little Moon, I know that in your hearts, I’m an undeniable scumbag, an irredeemable bastard.
"Even if I tell you the stories of our past lives again, you might not believe me.
"But there is one thing I can swear to the heavens: I have never lied to you about my feelings. They are absolutely genuine."
Zhong Tingyue listened quietly, her eyes brimming with a thousand thoughts. There was so much she wanted to say, so many questions she wanted to ask, but she didn’t know how to begin.
Some words, once spoken, would only bring embarrassment to them both. It was like porcelain. Once shattered, it could never be made flawless again, even if repaired.
Li Yuan paused, watching her trembling eyelashes before gently tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Little Moon, do you remember the day we first met on campus, when we were registering as freshmen?"
"Yes, I remember," Zhong Tingyue nodded, affirming with a soft hum.
She looked deeply into his eyes as the scene flooded her mind.
The moment Li Yuan had appeared before her and greeted her, a strange sense of familiarity had washed over her, as if she had known him for a long time. That feeling only intensified when he called her ’Little Moon’ and, over dinner, ordered all of her favorite dishes. In the time that followed, they chatted occasionally, like old classmates. Then came the night they met again. After he told her that story and sang ’Nanshan South’ for her, her emotions reached their peak. She believed every word he said. She had fallen for him completely. She believed their romance was fated by the heavens, something to be accepted and embraced with open arms... But in this story, she wasn’t the only heroine. There were other girls: her college roommate, that girl from another school, and Li Yuan’s classmate from computer science. The greater the expectation, the deeper the pain when the beautiful dream shatters...
The same scene appeared in Li Yuan’s mind as well.
Although he had known Zhong Tingyue in his past life, he had never harbored any improper thoughts about her—only pure admiration and gratitude. To her, it was just a passing reminder, but to him, it was a moment he would remember for the rest of his life... Unfortunately, the Zhong Tingyue of his previous life had been so cold and distant, rejecting every suitor who came her way. Even though his heart was filled with gratitude, he was at such a low point in his life that he felt too inferior to even approach her and say thank you...
