Downstairs, after Ye Xuan finished posting his Weibo, he suddenly thought of something.

He realized that he should not be the one waiting for Lin s.h.i.+ru to come down.

As a man, he should be the proactive one.

Then, putting aside his thoughts, Ye Xuan snuck upstairs with silent steps.

Upstairs, Lin s.h.i.+ru's eyes were filled with joy.

She remembered the way Ye Xuan confessed to her just now and was. .h.i.t with a sudden pang of regret.

So she felt so dumb about herself.

Why would she run away in that situation?

And if it wasn't bad enough that she ran, she also said all those things to Ye Xuan.

She felt a sense of unease like she was going to lose Ye Xuan someday

She wondered if Ye Xuan felt it was too easy to get to her

so that he would not treasure their relations.h.i.+p later.

“Ye Xuan?”

Suddenly, as she was thinking, a strange sensation alerted her.

Then she sensed Ye Xuan sneaking up the stairs in those quiet steps.

Sensing Ye Xuan was making a move, she quickly got up from her bed and walked in front of the bedroom door.

At the same time, Ye Xuan also came before her doors.

Then their eyes met.

“Linlin.”

Staring into Lin s.h.i.+ru's eyes, Ye Xuan smiled. “I suddenly remembered, you received an inheritance from the trial of the Divine Nature Palace. You must feel really tired.”

“We agreed to this before. It used to always be me lying on your lap and receiving a message from you. This time, it should be my turn to return the favor.”

To prevent Lin s.h.i.+ru from feeling too awkward, Ye Xuan purposely avoided bring up what happened earlier.

He planned on easing her in with a little physical interaction.

Maybe if they had more interactions like this, she would not feel as awkward.

Then whatever comes after that would happen naturally.

“Then…do we go downstairs?”

Lin s.h.i.+ru's voice was soft and nervous.

“Downstairs? Sure, or we can go to my bedroom.”

After Ye Xuan had said this, he walked to the door and waited.

He avoided looking at Lin s.h.i.+ru directly and began inspecting her bedroom with curiosity.

He noticed that there were a lot of pink elements in her room's décor

which was a stark contrast to the powerful, independent character she displays to the public.

Ye Xuan had actually wanted to give Lin s.h.i.+ru the ma.s.sage in her room.

But he feared that she was going to get too shy and uncomfortable.

“Ok.”

Lin s.h.i.+ru blushed and nodded.

“What does 'ok' mean?”

Ye Xuan was confused.

Then he brought Lin s.h.i.+ru to his bedroom.

Compared to the living room, Ye Xuan preferred the bedroom more.

Because the bed in the bedroom was a lot bigger.

They could experiment with whatever positions they want.

Mhm.

Ye Xuan was referring to all the different ma.s.sage positions he could perform on Lilin.

After Ye Xuan dragged Lin s.h.i.+ru into his bedroom, he immediately kicked off his slippers and hopped on the bed. He reclined against the sheets he folded earlier.

Then he gestured to Lin s.h.i.+ru by slapping his thigh and said,

“Alrighty. Lie down here. I will start with ma.s.saging your temple. Look at how fatigued you are… so fatigued that your cheeks are red. The last thing we want is for you to break a sweat.”

Lin s.h.i.+ru glared at him.

With red hot cheeks, she slowly took off her white slippers, revealing those two beautifully conditioned pearly feet. Then she climbed onto Ye Xuan's bed and gently lied down on his lap.

But after meeting Ye Xuan's fiery gaze, she immediately closed her eyes and did not dare look at him.

Ye Xuan let out a mischievous laugh.

He felt Lin s.h.i.+ru was so beautiful at this moment.

He probably could only enjoy this sight for a brief time.

Because once they become long-time couples, it would be really hard to return to this state of novelty.

He must treasure every moment now.

Then, he placed his hands gently around Lin s.h.i.+ru's temples and began ma.s.saging.

At the same time, he said to her,

“Relax, don't be so stiff. Remember how natural I was lying down in your lap before. Don't worry. I'm not a tiger. I won't eat you.”

Lin s.h.i.+ru did not say a word.

But she tried hard to calm down her breathing and make it not sound so anxious.

“Right, just like that.”

Ye Xuan laughed. Then he had an idea and said to Lin s.h.i.+ru, “Linlin, how about I used my phone to take some selfies for us. You look so gorgeous right now. I want to remember this moment.”

“Ok.”

Lin s.h.i.+ru nodded. She was impressed by Ye Xuan's suggestion.

This was the first day they officially confirmed their relations.h.i.+p. They should have something to commemorate it by.

“Alrighty then.”

After obtaining Lin s.h.i.+ru's approval, Ye Xuan reached out his hand and summoned his phone. Then, using his mental energy, he levitated the phone several meters away.

He found a good angle and began taking pictures of himself and Lin s.h.i.+ru.

“Snap snap!” ”

“Snap!”

After a minute had pa.s.sed, he had taken a couple of dozen of pictures already.

In reality, his photography skill was really bad.

But quant.i.ty over quality, maybe he could get lucky capturing one good moment.

“Linlin, how about we switch to another position?”

“Ok, switch to what position?”

Lin s.h.i.+ru opened her eyes. As Ye Xuan continued to talk to her and ma.s.sage her temples, she was not as nervous as she had been at the beginning.

“How about back to back?”

Ye Xuan suggested, hoping this position wasn't too overboard for her.

“Ok.”

Lin s.h.i.+ru nodded.

Then the two sat back to the back of each other.

“Snap snap!”

“Snap snap snap!”

Then, not much time later, another couple of dozen of pictures came out.

“Alrighty Linlin, let's try another position.”

After he finished shooting this position, Ye Xuan said to Lin s.h.i.+ru.

“What do we do this time?”

Lin s.h.i.+ru was beginning to feel the excitement.

She seemed like she really enjoyed taking pictures. All this photography had left her nervousness behind.

“Come here. So you're gonna sit by my side this time and tilt your head towards me.”

“Like this?” Lin s.h.i.+ru followed Ye Xuan's directions and asked.

“Perfect. Just like this and don't forget to smile.

Snap snap snap!

Ye Xuan began taking another barrage of pictures.

After they were done with that position, Ye Xuan was beginning to have mischievous thoughts. He looked towards Lin s.h.i.+ru and said, “Linlin, can we be a little more intimate? Just a little bit.”

Lin s.h.i.+ru glared at Ye Xuan, then she blushed and said yes.

“Ok… then I want you to go behind me, wrap your arms around my neck and poke your head out.”

Ye Xuan said with antic.i.p.ation.

“Like this?”

The fluttered Lin s.h.i.+ru did as Ye Xuan instructed her.

“No, you'd have to come closer to me.”

“Yes, just like that. Put your whole weight on my back…. and smile, yes, perfect.”

Ye Xuan drew in a breath. He felt the softness of Lin s.h.i.+ru's body against him and felt like a genius.

Snap snap snap!

Then he began another round of picture taking.

“Alright, time for a new position. This time you get in front of me, I'll hold you in my arms.”

Then Lin s.h.i.+ru sat before Ye Xuan as he wrapped his arms around her. Needless to say, another round of photos ensued.

“Are we done yet?”

“Come on, we had bare gotten started.”

“Fine, what's this pose this time?”

“This time…” Ye Xuan looked at Lin s.h.i.+ru's luscious red lips and asked nervously, “how about we take a photo of us kissing.”

Lin s.h.i.+ru's facial temperature went up another couple of degrees. She started avoiding Ye Xuan's eyes again.

“Like it's only gonna be pretending. Our lips won't touch… it's like the kind that looks like they touched.”

“Ok.”

Lin s.h.i.+ru nodded lightly.

Woohoo!

Hearing Lin s.h.i.+ru's response, Ye Xuan became super excited.

“Alright. Let's get off the bed. This type of picture has to be taken standing.”

Then he took Lin s.h.i.+ru's hand and led her off the bed.

Lin s.h.i.+ru had a strange expression on her face. She looked Ye Xuan up and down and asked him, “how do you know so much about all this?”

“I mean of course.”

Ye Xuan laughed and replied, “I have been antic.i.p.ating this day for so long.”

Lin s.h.i.+ru glared at him.

But in the end, she still performed what Ye Xuan told her.

It was only that she was much shorter than Ye Xuan, so she had to hook her arms around Ye Xuan to draw him closer.

Then, she looked up towards him and closed her eyes. She got off her tiptoes and slowly closed the distance between them.

Snap snap snap!

Seeing Lin s.h.i.+ru like this, Ye Xuan felt both surreal and really good about himself. As he was taking the photos, he bent over towards Lin s.h.i.+ru's red lips, imagining what it would be like to kiss her.

A moment later.

“Linlin, can I get a little bit closer?”

“Mhm.”

Another moment later.

Ye Xuan wrapped his arms around Lin s.h.i.+ru's waist.

“Linlin, can I get just a little bit more closely? Just a little bit so our lips lightly touch.”

This time, Lin s.h.i.+ru waited a full two seconds before responding. Then she nodded and agreed to Ye Xuan.

Woohoo!

Ye Xuan's mind was about to explode. He stared at those red lips right in front of him and felt his blood boiling.

Then he made his advance forward.

And immediately felt that icy cool moisture.
