Waaah, I'm being forced into loving my yandere wife's brain.

"Wait, wait a minute..."

Lin Zhiyao covered his lips as he lowered his head to kiss her, her palm pressed against his warm lips. Captured by his dark, fox-like eyes, she panicked, her voice trembling, "I...I...I..."

Lin Zhiyao blushed and huddled in his arms for a while before finally managing to stammer out a complete sentence: "I need to go to the bathroom now!"

After saying that, she didn't wait for Shen Jin to react.

She suddenly broke free from his embrace and used both hands and feet to climb onto the edge of the pool.

The wet soles of his feet made a soft pattering sound as he stepped on the tiles, and he ran off without looking back, pretending to be in a hurry.

Shen Jin didn't stop him.

He leaned back against the pool wall, his arm resting on the transparent edge once more. His fox-like eyes were deep as he stared at the fleeing figure, a slow smile curving his lips.

They run fast, though.

He knew, of course, that was just an excuse.

Shen Jin lowered his eyes, his fingertips tracing the spot where Lin Zhiyao had just touched him, the dampness and body heat still lingering on his fingertips.

Yao Yao...

Shen Jin chuckled softly.

The little girl was shy, so let's let her off the hook for now.

So, run.

But the second time... he wouldn't let it go so easily.

*

A dozen minutes later.

Lin Zhiyao shuffled out of the changing room, her steps slow and deliberate, her slippers scraping against the floor tiles as she awkwardly made her way back.

Shen Jin remained seated in his original position.

He rested his elbows on the edge of the pool, his posture languid, but his gaze remained fixed on her the entire time.

This time, there was no urging.

Lin Zhiyao still felt her face burning from being stared at. She forced herself to walk closer, stood by the pool, dipped her toes into the water to test the temperature, and then pulled them back, repeating this several times.

Hesitant and indecisive.

The night wind blew in from the rooftop, causing a layer of fine goosebumps to rise on her arms.

It's really a bit cold.

Lin Zhiyao gritted her teeth and slid down the steps into the water.

The warm pool water reached her collarbone, and the warmth enveloping her body made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Shen Jin didn't come closer like before; he remained leaning against the opposite pool wall, watching her with a leisurely air.

His gaze lingered, moving slowly from her wet shoulders to the light blue fabric covering her chest, then down to her waist.

She had a beautiful figure, and faint red marks from his bite from the previous night still lingered on her fair and rosy skin.

It appears and disappears under the underwater lights.

Especially noticeable is the pink diamond above Lin Zhiyao's collarbone, which she was wearing, shimmering with tiny sparkles in the water.

My mood was even better.

Shen Jin's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

His fox-like eyes grew even darker.

But then, seeing where she sat down, Shen Jin's mood soured.

Lin Zhiyao sat down opposite him, and her bottom had just touched the bottom of the pool when she heard him speak.

"Why stay so far away?"

The voice was low, with a hint of displeasure, and it sounded particularly clear in the empty rooftop pool.

"Yaoyao, come here."

Shen Jin frowned slightly in dissatisfaction and waved to her.

His somber expression blended into the night.

Lin Zhiyao couldn't see clearly, and didn't move.

She stared at the flowing water in front of her, her fingers twisting together on her knees, and honestly said, "I...I'm a little afraid to get close to that edge..."

That side had a frameless design, with the pool water directly connected to the void dozens of stories high. Just looking at it made her legs go weak.

Fortunately, she couldn't see Shen Jin's expression, otherwise, she would have been afraid of someone else.

Shen Jin paused for a moment.

He turned his head to glance at the transparent pool wall behind him, then turned back, his expression softening slightly.

It turns out that Yao Yao wasn't afraid of him or disliked him.

Shen Jin's expression softened.

"It's made of reinforced glass," he said. "It can support the weight of three elephants."

Lin Zhiyao still didn't move. "I'm scared too..."

Shen Jin didn't urge him any further.

He stood up directly from the bottom of the water, water droplets rolling off his collarbone and abs, sliding along the lines of his V-line into the edge of his swim trunks.

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Zhiyao glanced over, then stopped, her almond-shaped eyes widening.

In the darkness, Shen Jin's pale skin was almost glowing from the blue light reflected from the bottom of the pool.

He was tall and slender, with slightly bulging veins on his waist and abdomen, and deep grooves. She could clearly see a small, pretty red mole on the edge of his waist, wet and hanging on his cold, white, taut muscles, making him look even more sexy.

She hadn't noticed it before.

I dared not look at it more than a fleeting glimpse during the day.

But now, with the night dark, if Lin Zhiyao can't see him clearly, then Shen Jin probably can't see her little movements either.

So Lin Zhiyao boldly glanced at it a few more times, her gaze sweeping from her waist and abdomen to her hip bones, but she only dared to look a few more times.

Then, still shyly, it lowered its fluffy little head and stared at the water in front of it.

"Have you seen enough?"

The voice was already right in front of her.

Lin Zhiyao suddenly looked up, and Shen Jin had already walked up to her without her noticing. The water only reached his waist.

At this moment, Shen Jin bent down slightly, almost touching her face.

She was so close that she could almost count the number of those straight and thick eyelashes.

Lin Zhiyao held her breath, her face flushing slightly. "I...I didn't..."

"That's just an excuse. Yao Yao clearly saw it."

Shen Jin interrupted her, sat down beside her, and placed his hand on her soft waist, his fingertips touching her wet and delicate skin.

Shen Jin's palms were burning hot; he didn't use much force, but he gripped them tightly.

Lin Zhiyao felt herself being lifted out of the water, and the next second...

She was then pulled face-to-face into his arms.

"Is it pretty?"

Shen Jin lowered his head, his forehead almost touching hers, his breath and gaze falling on her full, plump lips.

Lin Zhiyao's ears burned and she tried to turn her head, but he held the back of her neck with his other hand, making her unable to move.

"……Um."

Lin Zhiyao's voice was so soft it sounded like a mosquito's hum.

"Now..."

Shen Jin's lips curled into a smile, his voice seductive, "Yao Yao can take her time reading."

"or……"

Shen Jin grabbed Lin Zhiyao's soft little hand and guided her to press it onto her well-defined abs. "You can touch it as much as you like."
