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

The door to the master bedroom closed gently, and Bai Mengyan walked to the bedside. The shyness and hesitation she felt in the hallway just now seemed to have been shut out by that door.

She turned around, looked at Lin Shen, and suddenly a sly smile with a hint of smugness appeared on her face.

"Hehehe..." Bai Mengyan chuckled softly, naturally kicking off her shoes.

Then, she sat down on the edge of the spacious bed, leaned back slightly, and supported herself with her hands behind her.

Today she was wearing a simple gray long-sleeved top and a dark plaid JK skirt, the hem of which fell above her knees, revealing a section of her fair calves.

What's most eye-catching are her white polka-dot mid-calf socks, which wrap around her mid-calf with the edges slightly rolled up, giving them a casual, youthful feel.

At that moment, those little feet in polka-dot socks were gently swaying by the bedside, their toes tapping little by little, as if keeping a cheerful rhythm.

Lin Shen was still standing by the door, watching her series of fluid and contrasting movements, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Just moments ago, he was blushing like a quail in the living room, trying to make amends to him, but now he seems to be back on his own turf, relaxed, even... a little arrogant?

"Brother Shen, don't just stand there like an idiot," Bai Mengyan tilted her head, patted the bed next to her, and smiled brightly, "Come and sit down."

Her voice sounded like she was being coquettish, but her eyes boldly stared straight at him, flashing with a kind of provocation that Lin Shen had never seen in her eyes before.

Lin Shen did as she was told, walked over, and stood in front of her, looking down at her.

From this angle, you can clearly see her swaying calves and those restless feet.

The white polka dot stockings feature black dots arranged in a staggered pattern, with the top slightly digging into the soft flesh of the calves, creating a shallow indentation.

Her ankles were slender, her feet were well-proportioned, and her beautiful outline could be seen even through her socks. With the rhythm of her swaying, the insteps arched and relaxed.

Lin Shen's gaze lingered on those feet for two seconds before he looked up and met her eyes.

"Not nervous anymore?"

"I'm nervous," Bai Mengyan blinked, speaking with conviction, "but does my nervousness conflict with my desire for you to come?"

As she spoke, she even lifted one foot and gently touched Lin Shen's calf with her toe, then quickly pulled away, like a tentative kitten.

"None of the top writers online have ever written fanfiction about you as slowly as you," Bai Mengyan muttered to herself, her eyes shining with an astonishing light.

"Oh? You still read those things?" Lin Shen laughed, then sat down on the edge of the bed, very close to her.

"It's a must-learn course for fangirls," Bai Mengyan said, taking advantage of his moment to scoot closer to him as he sat down, their arms touching.

"Learn from advanced experiences; you never know when you might need them."

"Like today?" Lin Shen turned his head, his breath almost brushing against her ear.

Bai Mengyan's ears turned red at a visible speed, but she stubbornly refused to look away. Instead, she tilted her head up to meet his gaze:

"Practice makes perfect, right, Brother Shen... can you teach me which parts of those articles are true?"

Her eyes were clear and bold, filled with undisguised liking, curiosity, and a kind of fearless courage.

Lin Shen looked at her: "You've really gotten bold?"

"I've always been quite chubby," Bai Mengyan blinked, her tone matter-of-fact.

"Otherwise, how could I have dared to sign with your company, how could I have dared to... forcefully kiss you?"

Lin Shen was amused by her self-righteous attitude. He leaned down, placing his hands on either side of her body, casting her into his shadow.

"So now? What do you want to do?"

As the distance suddenly closed, the man's cool aura rushed towards her, and Bai Mengyan's forced, experienced smile froze for a moment.

But when she thought of the various plots in the fanfiction about Shen Ge that she had read so many times, and then looked at the real person in front of her, who was a million times more beautiful than described in words, her bit of adrenaline-fueled courage resurfaced.

Bai Mengyan stretched out her index finger and gently poked Lin Shen's chest; it was rock hard.

"Guess?" She tilted her head, trying to make her eyes look more alluring, but her acting was awkward, more like a child playing a role.

Lin Shen's interest was completely piqued as he watched her pretend to be calm despite her obvious nervousness.

So he reached out and grabbed her mischievous hand, while his other hand pinched her chin, forcing her to look up at him.

"I bet some armchair strategist is about to be exposed."

The moment Lin Shen's burning hot hand slipped under her clothes and touched her delicate skin at the waist, all the hundred flirting techniques Bai Mengyan had read about in fanfiction vanished instantly.

The balance of power has shifted once again.

Lin Shen easily regained control.

"Now you know fear?"

"...No, I didn't."

Lin Shen looked at her face, which was so close to his. Her face still had a blush that hadn't completely faded. She had long eyelashes, a small nose, and her lips were still slightly swollen from the kiss, glistening with an alluring moisture.

The next moment, Lin Shen reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, applying a little force.

"Ah!" Bai Mengyan exclaimed softly as he pulled her onto his lap.

She instinctively wrapped her arms around Lin Shen's neck, their bodies pressed tightly together.

"I can teach you," Lin Shen looked up at her, steadily supporting her waist, "but the tuition is very expensive."

"I can afford it!"

"Is that so?" Lin Shen smiled and kissed her, patiently guiding her.

Bai Mengyan quickly became dizzy. The flowery descriptions in those fanfictions seemed pale and laughable in the face of the real Lin Shen.

His breath, his warmth, the strength with which he supported her...

Everything was more breathtaking and captivating than any scene she had ever imagined.

Bai Mengyan responded with all her might, hugging him tighter and unconsciously pressing her body closer to him.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Shen finally stepped back slightly.

Bai Mengyan was panting heavily, her chest heaving, and she clung limply to him.

"Tuition fees..." Lin Shen's voice was a little hoarse as he casually twirled her loose hair with his fingers. "Let's collect a deposit first."

His hand slid down her back to her waist, then lifted the hem of her gray long-sleeved shirt.

The cool fingers touched the warm skin on her waist, and Bai Mengyan shuddered.

"Shen, Brother Shen..." she said softly.

"Hmm?" Lin Shen responded, but his hands didn't stop moving. His fingertips slowly caressed the delicate skin on her waist, feeling her slight trembling.

His gaze involuntarily drifted downwards, landing on her feet, which were dangling in the air due to her sitting posture.

Those feet, clad in white polka-dot socks, had their toes slightly pointed, forming a beautiful curve.

Her ankles were delicate and her foot was slender, encased in socks.

Lin Shen's Adam's apple bobbed.

He suddenly remembered the way she swung her legs when she came in, so lively and alluring.

Now, these feet are slightly curled up because of tension and some kind of anticipation, adding to their fragile allure.

Lin Shen released his hand from lifting her clothes and instead grasped her ankle.

"!" Bai Mengyan froze abruptly and looked down.

Lin Shen's hand steadily encircled her ankle, his thumb gently pressing and slowly caressing the faint mark on the edge of her sock.

The sensation was quite peculiar; it was slightly itchy through the socks, yet also carried an indescribable sense of intimacy.

Lin Shen looked down intently, the girl's ankle in his hand, so slender it seemed as if it would break at the slightest touch.

He couldn't resist gently running his fingers along the top of his sock, from the inside of his ankle to the outside.

Bai Mengyan's toes curled up instantly, and her whole body shuddered as if she had been electrocuted.

"Brother Shen..." Bai Mengyan's voice trembled slightly, not from fear, but from a strange sense of helplessness and shame, "What...what are you doing..."

Lin Shen looked up at her. Her face was flushed red, her eyes were wet, and she looked at him with a mixture of confusion and a vague invitation.

"It's nothing," Lin Shen's voice was even hoarseer. He loosened his grip on her ankle, his hand moving up along the line of her calf to embrace her waist again. "I think it looks good."

Bai Mengyan leaned on his shoulder, her heart pounding like thunder.

In that brief moment, some strange science articles or novel excerpts she had read flashed through her mind, concerning certain unusual preferences.

But soon, this thought was dispelled by Lin Shen's tightening embrace and the breath on his ear.

"He must like me too much," Bai Mengyan thought in a daze, "to the point that everything about him looks good."

"Brother Shen," she whispered, secretly raising her head to look at Lin Shen's deep profile, "Aren't you... a little perverted?"

Lin Shen paused, raising an eyebrow at her.

Bai Mengyan quickly added, "What I mean is... why do you like... this?"

Looking at her cautious yet curious demeanor, Lin Shen suddenly found her incredibly adorable.

He lowered his head and gently bit her lip as punishment for her twisted opinion.

"When you like someone, you think she's beautiful everywhere, and you want to touch her everywhere."

The words were a bit convoluted, but Bai Mengyan understood them.

Her face turned even redder. It wasn't a pervert after all; it was love! It was because he liked her!

Bai Mengyan hugged his neck tightly, leaned in, kissed his chin, and then whispered:

"Well... then I'm glad you like it."

This statement is tantamount to a direct invitation.

Lin Shen said no more, and pulled her into the soft bedding.

In the time that followed, fragments from those fanfictions would occasionally flash through Bai Mengyan's mind, but they were quickly replaced by real feelings.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Mengyan became too lazy to even move.

Lin Shen, supporting himself above her, was breathing heavily. He lowered his head and kissed her sweaty forehead, then rolled over to lie down beside her and pulled her into his arms.

Bai Mengyan nestled into his arms, her face pressed against his equally sweaty chest, listening to his still-beating heartbeat, feeling completely enveloped by his presence.

It was tiring, but also very fulfilling. There was also an indescribable sense of peace and belonging.

"Are you alright?" Lin Shen's voice rang out.

"...Hmm." Bai Mengyan responded in a muffled voice, so hoarse that it startled even herself.

Lin chuckled softly and hugged her even tighter.

The two embraced quietly for a while, feeling each other's body temperature and gradually calming breathing.

After a while, Bai Mengyan seemed to have recovered a bit and said softly, "Brother Shen... I want to go take a shower..."

Lin Shen tightened his arms, preventing her from moving. "Why wash? We'll do it together later."

Bai Mengyan blushed, obediently said "Oh," and stopped moving. But in her heart, she was thinking: Wash together? Then… is there more to come?

Sure enough, after a few more tender moments, Lin Shen picked her up and carried her to the spacious bathroom.

The warm water washed over her, dispelling some of her fatigue and discomfort. After the bath, he wrapped her in a large towel and carried her back to bed.

Bai Mengyan thought it was over, but she was so tired that her eyelids were drooping and all she wanted to do was sleep.

But Lin Shen clearly didn't think so. He lay down next to her, pulled her into his arms, kissed her earlobe and neck, and his hands started to wander again.

"Brother Shen..." Bai Mengyan pleaded softly, "I can't take it anymore..."

"I know," Lin Shen kissed her shoulder, "You don't need to move."

Bai Mengyan understood what he meant, and closed her eyes tightly in embarrassment, but still awkwardly began to do the handicraft work.

However, perhaps because she hadn't taken any craft classes before, she lacked experience and was always scratching the surface.

Bai Mengyan was also getting anxious. She didn't want to disappoint Lin Shen. In the midst of the chaos, she suddenly remembered something from before... and a bold idea popped into her head.

She stopped what she was doing, and under Lin Shen's somewhat puzzled gaze, blushing, she slowly raised one leg and tentatively rubbed it against him.

Lin Shen's body stiffened abruptly, and his breathing became much heavier.

He looked down at the girl's blushing face, which was trying hard to look good, and at her delicate foot that was pressing against him.

This girl... is surprisingly savvy.

"...Like this." Instructor Lin began his guidance.

Bai Meng learned very quickly, or rather, Coach Lin's rich experience helped her find her rhythm quickly.

...

This time, things have truly calmed down.

Lin Shen lay on his side, holding Bai Mengyan in his arms. Her back was against his warm chest, and she could feel his steady and strong heartbeat. Her body felt so weak and limp.

"Are you exhausted?" Lin Shen's gentle voice came from behind.

"Mmm..." Bai Mengyan nodded, snuggling closer to him to find a more comfortable position.

"However..." she paused, then suddenly whispered, "it's not quite what I imagined."

"Hmm?" Lin Shen became interested. "What kind of image are you imagining?"

Bai Mengyan's face flushed, and she could only mumble, "It's just... some random stuff I saw online. It doesn't feel as real as..."

She racked her brains for adjectives, "So tiring, yet so... good."

Coach Lin smiled and concluded, "It seems that practice is still more important than theory."

"That's right!" Bai Mengyan said with a hint of pride.

After a moment of silence, Bai Mengyan seemed to remember something important, and suddenly raised her head, looking at Lin Shen very seriously:

"Brother Shen, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Lin Shen looked at her serious little face: "Hmm?"

Bai Mengyan bit her lip and mustered her courage:

"Brother Shen, you're a top star, your career is the most important thing. If word gets out, it will have a bad impact on you. I... I know what's important."

She was a little embarrassed, but still asked expectantly:

"From now on, I'll only call you 'husband' when we're alone in private, okay? If there are other people around, let's be more careful and act like a regular boss and employee, or a senior and junior colleague."

After Bai Mengyan finished speaking, she looked at him somewhat nervously.

Looking at her earnest little face, Lin Shen felt a gentle touch on a corner of his heart.

He doesn't really care about being exposed. With his current capital and strategic planning, he can afford to have a relationship exposed.

But the thought that if it were really exposed, given the nature of fan circles, she, as his girlfriend who was not a celebrity, would probably be torn to shreds by some of his extreme fans.

He could ignore the noise, but he didn't want her to suffer unnecessary harm.

Lin Shen reached out and ruffled her soft hair, then nodded: "Okay."

Bai Mengyan immediately beamed with joy, burying her face in his chest and secretly nuzzling him, but inwardly she was overjoyed: Chao Yue was right, Brother Shen really does respond better to gentleness than force!

As Lin Shen felt the joy in the girl's arms, and thought of how carefully she had protected his career just now, the vague thought that this could be considered as having sex with a fan dissipated.

This is not just desire, but a relationship where people draw closer to each other with warmth.

Lin Shen suddenly spoke up: "However, it's quite boring to always be hiding."

Bai Mengyan looked up in confusion.

Lin Shen looked into her curious eyes, and a smile curved his lips:

"Just wait, I'll create a setting where you can stand together openly without causing offense."

"What is it?" Bai Mengyan's curiosity was piqued, and she pressed for an answer.
