On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Listening to the pattering water coming from the bathroom, Su Yuqing held the warm milk cup and sipped it slowly.

The rich aroma of milk lingered on her lips and teeth, but it seemed to pale in comparison to the complex emotions that were gradually brewing in her heart, a mixture of sweetness, nervousness, and anticipation.

She didn't agree on a whim.

Back in Xiangchuan, she had seriously considered her relationship with Chen Mo.

She loved him, and he loved her; there was no doubt about it.

This love has long transcended the innocent flutter of first love, becoming intertwined with daily companionship, a deep connection of souls, and shared aspirations for the future.

In Su Yuqing's view, entrusting herself completely to him was a natural sublimation of their relationship, bringing their hearts to the closest possible distance.

She trusted him more than anyone else.

However, when that moment actually arrived, listening to the continuous sound of water, her fair cheeks still uncontrollably flushed even more deeply, and her heart pounded like a drum.

She gently put down the milk glass, placed her hands on her knees, her fingertips slightly curled.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart, but her mind involuntarily recalled every little detail of their journey from meeting to falling in love—that rainy night when he took her in, the daily care he gave her, the meticulous attention he showed, and countless moments that touched her heart.

These memories, like a warm tide, gradually soothed her tension, leaving only a deep longing to be closer to him.

She knew that Chen Mo was deliberately taking longer to wash her, giving her time to reconsider and calm down.

This thoughtfulness and respect strengthened her love and resolve.

She no longer hesitated; her eyes became clear and gentle as she quietly awaited their true, honest interaction.

When Chen Mo finally stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bath towel and smelling fresh water vapor and a faint fragrance of shower gel, he saw Su Yuqing sitting quietly on the sofa, looking at him with gentle eyes.

The shyness and panic from before were gone from those clear eyes; there was only complete trust and a silent invitation.

Chen Mo's heart was deeply touched. He walked up to her, but did not move immediately. He just looked at her intently, as if he wanted to etch her into the depths of his soul.

"Are you ready?" His voice sounded particularly hoarse and low due to restraint.

Clearly, Chen Mo was still giving Su Yuqing a chance to back out.

Su Yuqing didn't answer, but smiled and extended her hands to him.

This action completely shattered Chen Mo's self-control.

He smiled slightly, bent down, and scooped her up in his arms, carrying her steadily toward the bedroom.

Only a dim nightlight was on in the room, casting a soft, private glow.

Chen Mo gently placed Su Yuqing in the center of the bed, as if placing a rare treasure there.

He didn't rush into anything. Instead, he leaned down, bracing himself on his arms beside her, enveloping her in his presence, his deep gaze fixed on her soft, luminous eyes.

"Yuqing..." he called her name, as if he wanted to confirm it one more time.

Su Yuqing raised her hand and sealed his lips with hers; clearly, nothing more needed to be said at this moment.

Seeing that Chen Mo understood, Su Yuqing moved her fingers away, gently stroked his angular cheek, and tilted her head back to offer her lips.

This kiss was more lingering and deeper than the one in the living room, carrying a complete surrender of the heart that needed no words.

All the longing, love, and desire collided and merged intensely in this kiss.

Su Yuqing's clothes and Chen Mo's bath towel had quietly slipped off at some point. The cool air touched their skin, causing a slight shiver, but it was quickly dispelled by the other's hot body temperature.

Under the lamplight, Su Yuqing's fair skin resembled fine warm jade, radiating a lustrous glow. Her slightly flushed cheeks and dreamy eyes created an incredibly captivating scene.

Chen Mo's kisses became delicate and passionate, traveling down her lips, across her graceful neck and delicate collarbone, igniting indescribable flames within her body. His movements were extremely gentle and patient, constantly monitoring her reactions.

I confirmed that she was ready.

He gave Su Yuqing a look, and Su Yuqing nodded shyly.

The next moment, love reached its peak, and they entered into a union naturally.

I don't know if it was due to enough foreplay or the numbing effect of love.

Su Yuqing didn't even feel the slightest bit of the rumored pain...

"Are you ok?"

His voice was full of restraint and worry, offering the utmost reassurance.

All he received in return was a gentle kiss and a look that urged him to continue.

Su Yuqing hugged him tighter, showing her acceptance and encouragement through her actions.

Chen Mo understood, smiled in response, and kissed him even more gently, then began her own gentle actions.

Su Yuqing responded awkwardly, following her instincts and the guidance of her love...

She felt like a small boat adrift in a warm ocean, enveloped and propelled by gentle waves, sailing towards an unknown yet alluring shore.

As night deepened, the world outside the window was completely silent, but inside the bedroom, love blossomed and the temperature steadily rose.

The longing after half a year of separation and the boundless anticipation for the future transformed into the most primal and profound intimacy at this moment.

Sweat mingled, breaths mingled, two hearts expressed their unreserved love for each other in the most direct way, tightly bound together, inseparable.

……

It's unclear how much time passed, or how many peaks they climbed, but the storm finally subsided when Su Yuqing collapsed completely.

Su Yuqing leaned lazily against Chen Mo's warm embrace, her whole body limp and powerless. Her cheek was pressed against his warm chest, listening to his still-strong heartbeat, feeling an unprecedented sense of security and satisfaction.

Chen Mo gently stroked her smooth back, his fingertips filled with affection.

She snuggled closer to him, finding a comfortable position.

Chen Mo played with her soft hair scattered on the pillow, his voice languid and magnetic after the event, "Still have the energy? I'll carry you to take a bath."

"Okay." Su Yuqing looked up at him with a soft voice, a hint of alluring charm still lingering in her eyes and brows.

Chen Mo affectionately kissed the top of her head, then picked her up and carried her to the bathroom.

This was the first time the two had bathed together...

After washing up, Su Yuqing lay back on the bed and yawned slightly. Her thick eyelashes, like two small fans, slowly drooped down. After the intense exercise, fatigue washed over her like a tide.

Chen Mo chuckled softly, pulled the blanket over the two of them, and turned off the small nightlight by the bedside.

"Sleep," he whispered in her ear, pulling her closer into his arms.

In the darkness, feeling each other's close body temperature and even breathing, the two embraced and soon drifted into a peaceful and sweet dream.

Outside the window, the winter night in Jiangcheng is quiet and peaceful.

Inside, the lovers, finally united in body and soul, fell asleep in each other's arms, savoring this belated yet perfectly fulfilling warmth. (End of Chapter)
