Chapter 144: Chapter 26: Hanfu Beauty’s First Experience
While she was taking a shower, he went downstairs to buy some potent pain relief medicine. When he returned to the room, she was just walking out, wrapped only in a bath towel. She bent over to pick up her clothes scattered on the floor, apparently intending to get dressed and leave.
Just then, he scooped her up by the waist.
"No! We can’t do it again today," she hastily protested.
"Don’t move," Sun Dasheng said, laying her gently on the bed. He stroked her hair reassuringly. "It’s not what you think. I saw you were hurt down there, so I bought some medicine for you. Let me apply it."
"I’ll do it myself," she said, grabbing his hand.
So now she’s feeling shy?
Sun Dasheng pried her hand away. "You can barely bend over. How are you going to apply the medicine properly? Lie still. I’ll help you; it’ll feel better soon."
She rolled over and buried her head in the blankets, playing the ostrich.
You can’t trust a word a man says.
He said it would be quick, but it took a very long time. However, she didn’t say a word, because he was so serious and meticulous. As he applied the ointment over and over, she felt the pain lessen considerably, replaced by a cool, soothing sensation.
"Turn over. There are still some spots I can’t reach," he said.
She obediently did as she was told. Glancing down, she saw him concentrating, carefully applying the medicine for her, completely focused.
I really misunderstood him.
Bai Feifei felt a pang of guilt."Alright, it’s done. Put your pants on and rest on the bed. Don’t go anywhere. I’m going to take a shower," the man commanded. She nodded obediently.
The sound of running water started in the bathroom. Staring at the blurred silhouette on the glass wall, Bai Feifei’s face flushed.
Where on earth did I get the courage to do something so audacious today? Thank goodness I met a good man. Otherwise... she thought, a wave of fear washing over her. But then she dismissed the thought. It’s not like I just gave myself away recklessly. I observed him for a long time, and only after I was satisfied with what I saw did the rest of this happen. If he had been a bad guy, I would have run away long ago.
Regardless, her mind was still a mess.
Before: He looks just like my secret crush.
After: My secret crush can’t hold a candle to him.
Women are just that fickle.
Showering in the bathroom, Sun Dasheng had no idea how effective his "Impression Profound Infusion Technique" was. In just a few rounds, he had left a truly deep impression on her.
Before long, the water in the bathroom stopped, and the man walked out wearing only a pair of shorts. His comic-book physique made Bai Feifei gulp. It was a true feast for the eyes.
"Feeling better?" he asked, sitting down beside her.
"Mhm, much better," Bai Feifei nodded.
Just then, her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and chose not to answer. Sun Dasheng, sitting beside her, noticed and prompted her.
"Why aren’t you answering?"
"Ah?" Bai Feifei looked flustered. "I don’t know him that well. I was out today, and he found out where I was and insisted on tagging along." She found herself explaining without being asked.
"It’s okay, I get it. But you should probably take the call and make things clear with him." Sun Dasheng moved closer and wrapped his arm around her slender waist. Resting his chin on top of her head, he gently inhaled her delicate fragrance.
They say only virgins have this scent, right? That has to be false. Based on my experience, I have a say in this. It must just be her natural body scent, which is slightly different for everyone.
The man had a point. She answered the call and put it on speaker.
"Hello! Feifei, you finally answered! Where did you go?"
"Ahem... We aren’t that close. Please use my full name," Bai Feifei said, glancing at the man beside her. Seeing no change in his expression, she relaxed.
"Uh... Classmate Bai Feifei, my apologies for today. I got drunk and didn’t see you home. Did you get back okay?"
As a show of loyalty, Bai Feifei took Sun Dasheng’s hand and placed it on her breast. Only then did she speak. "Oh? Where I went is none of your business. Who are you to me?"
She was laying her cards on the table. The goddess’s words completely dumbfounded the simp, Xiao Shao, who promptly apologized. "You misunderstand! I wasn’t trying to control you. I just called to make sure you got home safely."
After a moment of silence, she said, "Don’t call me again. I’m afraid he might get the wrong idea."
"He? Who is he? I thought you didn’t have a boyfriend?" Xiao Shao’s voice shot up an octave. He immediately apologized again. "I’m sorry, my voice was too loud just now. Did I hurt your ears?"
What a complete simp, Sun Dasheng thought, feeling the delicate shape in his hand. He was somewhat moved. Truly, ’a young lotus bud just breaking the surface.’ She was the most modestly endowed of all his women, comparable only to Yun Yuqing. Both had the classic beauty of ancient paintings. But small had its own advantages. With her figure, she would look absolutely ethereal in traditional Hanfu.
Flushed and breathless from his teasing, Bai Feifei was finding it hard to speak on the phone and remained silent.
Finally, the voice on the other end couldn’t hold back. "Why are you breathing so hard? Are you out for a run this late at night?"
"You could say that," she managed to squeeze out, her voice strained.
"Is he there with you?" The heartache from the other end of the line was palpable.
She didn’t feel like lying. "Yes."
"Is he good to you?" he asked after a long silence.
"Very good!" Bai Feifei’s response was firm and decisive.
"Alright. I wish you both the best."
As Xiao Shao spoke those words, it was as if an old song began to play in his mind: *There’s a kind of love called letting go, for love’s sake, giving up on forever...*
