Huayu: You were supposed to be a top star, but you've become capital?

Lin Shen's mind went blank for a moment.

Was I forcibly kissed?

I got forcibly kissed by this girl?!

That was his first thought. He felt a strange and soft touch on his lips, carrying the sweet scent of fruit wine and the girl's unruly awkwardness.

But with the soft, warm body pressing against him, and the heat penetrating through the thin fabric, Lin Shen almost instinctively tightened his arms around her waist and back.

However, Lin Shen soon realized something was wrong.

Bai Mengyan's kiss was truly just a kiss—her lips pressed tightly against his, without moving an inch.

He held his breath, his body stiff as a log, only his eyelashes trembling violently, betraying his tension.

Lin Shen was speechless; the slight surprise in his heart was washed away by this clumsy yet adorable technique.

A forced kiss is one thing, but why did it feel like a stamp, and then it just stopped moving after it was done?

It seems I'll have to do it myself.

With his other hand, he stroked the back of her neck, applying slight pressure, while his lips parted slightly, easily prying open her tightly clenched teeth.

"Ugh...!"

Bai Meng let out a soft gasp, but the sound was quickly swallowed up.

Lin Shen's skills were clearly far superior, and he was much more composed. He patiently guided this reckless and inexperienced intruder.

Bai Mengyan was initially stunned, her mind went blank, and she could only passively endure it. However, under Lin Shen's gradual guidance, her body's instincts seemed to be awakened a little.

She tried to respond cautiously, mimicking his shy, hesitant touch.

However, she quickly forgot to breathe.

Within seconds, his heart, which was already racing with tension and excitement, surged even faster. He felt a rush of oxygen deprivation, and his face turned bright red.

"Ha...haa..."

Bai Mengyan collapsed against him, panting heavily, her cheeks burning hot. Her eyes were also wet, misty and bewildered, like a fawn that had strayed into a trap.

Lin Shen released her as well, watching her lying on top of him with a dazed look in her eyes, a hint of helplessness from surviving a disaster. He suddenly found it a little funny, and also felt a strange heat.

Without giving her much time to calm down, Lin Shen used his waist and abdomen to swiftly roll over—

The balance of power shifts instantly.

"Ah!" Bai Mengyan exclaimed sharply, feeling dizzy as Lin Shen pressed her firmly onto the soft sofa.

She lay on her back, gazing into Lin Shen's deep, unfathomable eyes. The emotions within them were not quite clear to her, but they were certainly not calm.

Her heart was pounding in her throat, and her fingers unconsciously gripped the sofa beneath her.

"Shen... Brother Shen..." Bai Mengyan's voice trembled.

Lin Shen didn't say anything, but leaned down and kissed her again.

This time, perhaps because the person in charge had changed, perhaps because Bai Mengyan had gained a little bit of pitiful experience, or perhaps because of the atmosphere, the kiss lasted much longer.

Lin Shen has developed a stronger aggressiveness and a clearer desire; he is no longer merely a guide.

Bai Mengyan was initially a little stiff, but she gradually softened under his strong yet gentle advances, and her arms unconsciously climbed up his neck, responding awkwardly and with effort.

In a state of confusion and infatuation.

"hiss…!"

Lin Shen frowned slightly and paused for a moment.

Bai Mengyan's canine tooth accidentally grazed him, causing a slight sting.

Lin Shen then stepped back slightly, ending the long and deep kiss.

Bai Mengyan's chest heaved violently as she tried to calm her breathing and heartbeat. Her lips were swollen and red from the kisses, and glistened with moisture.

Lin Shen tasted a faint smell of blood where he had been scratched.

He looked at the girl beneath him, whose teeth were not perfectly aligned, but were even somewhat cute, and suddenly chuckled.

Bai Mengyan was a little confused by his laughter, her wet eyes filled with doubt: "W-what's wrong?"

Looking at her like this, Lin Shen's smile deepened, and he slowly said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about some... happy things."

Bai Mengyan was confused, but Lin Shen didn't give her time to think.

He propped himself up, creating a slight distance between them, but still keeping her trapped between the sofa and himself, his gaze fixed intently on her:

"Want to come again?"

Bai Mengyan subconsciously licked her slightly numb lips, while a little voice inside her screamed wildly:

Sisters in the fan group, I've made it big! I kissed Brother Shen! He even asked me if I was coming again!

Overwhelmed by immense joy and a near-dizzying sense of happiness.

Alcohol, impulse, adoration, and the ecstasy of being reciprocated overwhelmed the last trace of shyness.

Bai Mengyan stretched out her still slightly weak hand and gently placed it on Lin Shen's shoulder, then looked up at him:

"continue!"

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Shen lowered his head and covered her lips with his again.

This time, there was less initial hesitation and awkwardness, and more of an unspoken longing.

The two mingled on the sofa, their breaths mingling, their body temperatures rising, and the warm yellow light in the living room seemed to take on a romantic hue.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe only a few minutes, but at this moment when my senses are amplified infinitely, it feels like a long time has passed.

"Click".

A very faint sound, yet remarkably clear in the relatively quiet living room, rang out as the door opened.

The two people on the sofa froze simultaneously.

Lin Shen was the first to release Bai Mengyan, his sharp gaze sweeping towards the source of the sound.

The bathroom door was pushed open a crack, and Yang Chaoyue tiptoed out, head down, eyes on the ground, trying to silently drift towards his guest room in an almost comical slow motion.

Then, she felt two very strong gazes fall on her.

Yang Chaoyue froze, slowly raised his head, and met Lin Shen's gaze and Bai Mengyan's face, which instantly turned bright red.

"Uh... hi?" Yang Chaoyue chuckled dryly, his toes practically digging out a three-bedroom apartment.

"Sorry, it's been inside...it's been a bit stuffy after being in there for so long. I...I'll go back to my room now, you guys continue, continue! Don't worry about me! I didn't see anything! Really!"

After speaking at lightning speed, she practically darted to the guest room door as if she had wheels on her feet, turned the doorknob, and slipped inside, slamming the door shut and shutting out the suffocating atmosphere outside.

The living room returned to silence, but the previous romantic and passionate atmosphere had been somewhat dampened by this unexpected little incident, replaced by a faint awkwardness and a sense of dissatisfaction at the interruption.

Bai Mengyan's blush had spread to the roots of her neck. She hurriedly struggled to get out from under Lin Shen, sat up, lowered her head, and spoke in a voice barely audible:

"Shen, Brother Shen... um... it's getting late, I... I should go back first. Chaoyue is still here..."

Her voice trailed off as she spoke, and the thought of being caught by Yang Chaoyue made her want to disappear on the spot.

Lin Shen also sat up, slowly straightening his slightly disheveled clothes. Hearing her words, he raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

You've already started the fire, and now you want to just pack up and run away?

He stood up and looked down at Bai Mengyan, who was still sitting on the sofa, too embarrassed to look up.

"go back?"

"I'm really angry right now. You think you can just leave after you've provoked me?"

Bai Mengyan trembled at his blunt words, lowered her head even further, her ears burning hot. She felt a mix of shame, confusion, and a secret sense of anticipation and fear.

Lin Shen gave her no more chance to hesitate or back down, and stood up directly, grabbing her wrist.

"Then let's go to my room."

He pulled her along and, without saying a word, headed towards the master bedroom.

"Hey? Brother Shen, wait a minute..."

Bai Mengyan was pulled along by him, her steps faltering, her heart pounding. She half-heartedly followed him for a couple of steps, her mouth still trying to make one last weak protest.

"I was seen outside just now...it's not good for me to stay here and not go back..."

Lin Shen had already led her to the master bedroom door. He stopped, pushed open the door, and gestured for her to go in before looking at her:

"I've had the room thoroughly checked; it's absolutely safe. As for Tang Yan or anyone else," he paused, his gaze sharp, "they wouldn't dare to say anything."

Bai Mengyan stood at the door, looking up at him. At this moment, Lin Shen had shed his usual gentleness and revealed a true side of himself that she had never seen before, strong and aggressive.

His words and his gaze carried a reassuring power, shattering her last remaining concerns.

Bai Mengyan bit her lower lip, finally stopped being coy, lowered her head, and stepped into the spacious master bedroom.

Lin Shen watched her walk in, then followed her in and closed the door behind him.

"Click."

After the soft sound, the living room returned to silence, with only the warm yellow light gently enveloping the empty sofa.

Inside the guest room, Yang Chaoyue, with his ear pressed against the door, let out a long sigh of relief after hearing the clear sound of the door closing. He then covered his mouth and grinned silently, his eyes sparkling with excitement and gossip.

Mengyan...you're awesome!
