Why are you always thinking about dating me?

So Lin An kissed her lips, parted them slightly, and Xiao Chacha fed him a little bit of the lightly scented whiskey in her mouth. The mouth was filled with a faint floral fragrance, and the peaty taste of the Japanese whiskey was almost non-existent, very faint.

Lin An put his arms around the girl's back. They were in a dark corner of the bar, so no one could see what he was doing. His hands were restless, making Xiao Chacha a little breathless, but her eyes were bright as she continued to kiss him passionately and tenderly.

About two or three minutes later.

Lin An saw the blush on her cheeks and could sense Xiao Chacha's current state. Her legs were together, and she was fidgeting somewhat uneasy. Her eyes were bright and captivating, as if she had received some kind of answer.

Of course, alcohol fermentation also played a part in all of this; otherwise, when Lin An said those words just now, he felt that he would most likely have been slapped.

“That’s not enough,” Xiao Chacha said.

But her eyes were no longer sad and lost. As if she suddenly understood something, her eyes became fiery, like flickering fireworks. That momentary light was like an inextinguishable flame.

So she kissed Lin An's lips again. Lin An didn't dodge, but just silently stayed with her. Although his heart was racing, he was even more indifferent, as if this was just a game.

Until Lin An's tongue went numb.

"Why...why don't I hate you?"

"Because you know me, you knew from the beginning that I didn't love you, and that I had no desire for you, so it wouldn't trigger your defense mechanism?" Lin An shrugged.

Xiao Chacha's cheeks flushed even more as she leaned close to his ear, "Your hands were... not behaving properly just now."

"But you're excited, aren't you?"

Lin An's answer was so pure and fearless that Xiao Chacha didn't even dare to look him in the eye. She couldn't accept this, couldn't admit her own desires, because it was different from her long-held self-perception.

"My period isn't due for another two or three days, that's why I'm so excited... It must be because of that, it must be because of that..."

"Oh? That's possible."

Girls tend to have slightly stronger libido in the three days before or on the day of their period; this is a physiological mechanism.

Lin An nodded, gently put his arms around her waist, and then picked her up so she wouldn't sit on his lap. "So, are you still going to drink?"

"What is my... answer?" Xiao Chacha stood there, staring blankly at him.

"Don't you already have the answer in your heart, Cha Cha?"

Lin An would never give her any psychological suggestions, as that would only mislead her. She was in a vulnerable state right now, and no matter what Lin An said, she would believe it. Therefore, Lin An should not say anything, but rather let her think for herself and find the truth about herself.

“Let’s keep drinking. I love Chacha so much. I’ve wanted to drink this wine for so long. Last time I went, I drank the Yamazaki 12-year-old, which cost 150 yuan for a small glass. This time, I’m so happy with the 18-year-old.”

Lin An is telling the truth. Drinking can be an interesting thing, provided that it's not alcoholism, not drinking to the point of exhaustion to save face, and not the so-called drinking culture.

Xiao Chacha was clearly still in a state of confusion. She was still savoring the feeling of their tongues touching, which made her heart race and her mind dizzy, leaving her powerless to resist.

The other person was clearly a man.

Seeing that she didn't know much about these drinks, Lin An enthusiastically explained the stories behind them to her, including various interesting whiskies. Later, Xiao Chacha couldn't drink much whisky anymore, but she still wanted to drink it, so Lin An recommended cocktails to her.

She herself said she was going to a drinking party tonight, it has nothing to do with An'an.

So Lin An recommended the Moscow Mule to her. It's a very simple cocktail. You can make it at home by buying a copper cup, a bottle of vodka, and a bottle of ginger ale. Plus, it has a low alcohol content.

Lin An listened as Xiao Chacha, who was already quite drunk, recounted her childhood stories—things she didn't want to remember or tell anyone, but she had to confide in them to find an outlet for her emotions and comfort.

Lin An was happy to comfort her, because she had paid for it. This amount of money was quite a lot for Lin An; it was a windfall that he could use to go on a date with Xu Qinghuan during the National Day holiday.

Then Xiao Chacha talked about the girls she had flirted with and how she turned them gay. Actually, it wasn't difficult. After all, Xiao Chacha was much more mature than her peers from a young age. So, she was able to distort the other person's feelings and make them fall in love with her.

But that's precisely why I can't fall for someone my age with a different life experience. After all, to be together, you need to have compatible values ​​and personalities.

Lin An listened to her rambling on for quite a while, taking small sips of the whiskey in front of him. After downing more than half a bottle, Lin An's head was actually spinning.

However, he was still relatively clear-headed, and he knew that a girl like Xiao Chacha was already rotten when it came to love. It would be difficult for her to fall in love with someone again unless that person was smarter than her and could control her more easily.

It wasn't until the lights in the bar were about to go out, around 2 a.m., when the bar was about to close, that Lin An helped Xiao Chacha up, put his arm around her shoulder, led her down the elevator, and then asked for her home address.

Fortunately, Xiao Chacha could still vaguely tell Lin An the location of her home. Lin An found a taxi and took her to her apartment complex. Xiao Chacha then gave directions, and Lin An escorted her downstairs.

There's an elevator, so Lin An is confident that Xiao Chacha will get home safely.

But after he let go, Xiao Chacha pounced on him, pinned him against the wall, and then leaned in to kiss his lips. At least from Lin An's perspective, Xiao Chacha's kisses were very skilled, probably because she had kissed her younger sister quite a few times.

Lin An didn't care anyway, and after spending some time lingering with her, the elevator arrived, and Xiao Chacha grabbed his hand.

"I haven't gotten the answer yet, Lin An."

"what?"

"I've never... been with a man before, this is my... first time."

Lin An responded with an "oh," indicating that he hadn't understood her implication.

"So, if it were you, that person would be you." Xiao Chacha said bluntly.

"Huh? I don't want to." Lin An shook his head like a rattle.

Putting aside the fact that he might have to explain something to Xu Qinghuan when he goes home now, what if Xiao Chacha ends up like Su Yuejin? One Su Yuejin is enough of a headache for him, and Lin An doesn't want a second one.

Although he thought Xiao Chacha wouldn't.

"Don't worry, I won't be like that stupid girl Su Yuejin, and I won't like you. I just want to understand myself, and I'm missing someone, someone I don't dislike. So, I want that person to be you."

"..."

"Are you sure?" Lin An asked her tentatively.

"I'm sure I won't fall in love with you. I don't like a philandering, manipulative scumbag like you. I can't outmaneuver you, but I'm willing to sleep with you."

"..." Lin An wanted to leave after hearing her words.

"Ten thousand yuan," Xiao Chacha continued in his ear.

"Cha Cha, this time it's not about money. I may not have told you, but I have someone I like, and she likes me too... so..."

"So isn't having an affair more exciting? Don't you men all like that? Always wanting more than what you have, or am I just not good enough for you?"

Xiao Chacha gently pulled down the straps of her tank top, revealing a hint of her well-endowed figure.

Her skin was fair and delicate, and her figure wasn't that of a Lolita; rather, she was more like a young girl, similar to Luo Shuishui—not overly tall, but just the right amount of slender and pretty.

"I'm scared... Chacha, you wouldn't have fallen for me, would you?"

"will not."

"Really can't?"

"Aren't you a little too narcissistic, Lin An?" Xiao Chacha's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Oh... never mind, I'll take you upstairs first. Maybe you'll fall asleep as soon as you hit the bed."

Lin An helped her into the elevator. Once inside, they went upstairs. Xiao Chacha opened the door to her room. She lived alone, and the room was luxuriously decorated, suggesting she was quite wealthy.

"I want to take a shower," she said.

"Then...you wash?"

“I have a bathtub at home, I don’t want to move.” She said this in a clear yet cold voice, grabbing one of his hands and placing it on her chest.

"So, you help me."

"..."

"Whatever you want, whatever makes you happy." Lin An angrily pinched her chest, watching her peel off her T-shirt, watch her unbutton her hot pants, and watch her gradually, nakedly appear before him.

Lin An had no urge to pounce on her. He had been tormented by Xu Qinghuan repeatedly before, so he was incredibly patient. He walked to Xiao Chacha's side, picked her up, and threw her into the bathtub. He turned on the shower and didn't bother to wait for the water to cool down. The cold water droplets fell on Xiao Chacha's body.

She felt a little cold.

"Are you cold?" Lin An asked.

"Ah."

"It's better to be more awake." Lin An shrugged, and Xiao Chacha stopped talking. But after the bathtub was full of water, Xiao Chacha grabbed his shoulders and dragged him into the bathtub.

Luckily, the bathtub was quite large.

Lin An's clothes were soaked.

He pressed down on her, the water was icy cold, but Lin An felt okay because the girl beneath him had hot skin.

"Are you cold?" she asked, cupping his face in her hands.

"It seems so," Lin An nodded.

"Then hold me tight."

As Xiao Chacha said this, she flipped over and pinned him down.

Chapter 44 The Deal with the Devil

Four o'clock in the morning.

Lin An lit a cigarette for Xiao Chacha and leaned against the bed, trying to sober himself up. He was actually much more sober now, and the effects of the alcohol had mostly worn off. Xiao Chacha was lying limply on the bed, staring blankly at his profile.

"How do you feel about losing your virginity?" Lin An asked her, turning around.

"It's alright, I don't have too many thoughts... but it's quite comfortable." Xiao Chacha smiled at him.

Lin An shrugged helplessly. "Just remember what we agreed on before, Sister Chacha."

"I look younger than you, how can you call me 'sister'?"

"I'm eighteen, and you're nineteen, Sister Chacha." Lin An's tone was slightly childish. He took a few puffs of his cigarette and then threw it into the ashtray. It's best not to smoke; it's bad for your health.

Xiao Chacha stared at his profile, lost in thought. She was still in a little pain, but the memory of what had just happened was tingling and ticklish. Xiao Chacha gently kicked Lin An's waist with her foot.

"Time to sleep."

"I want to go home, but it doesn't seem like the right time. Wait a minute, I'm thinking about something."

Lin An was wondering how to explain things to Xu Qinghuan when he got back. It was a big problem, since he hadn't gone home tonight. But Xu Qinghuan hadn't sent any messages to ask about it. If Xu Qinghuan had sent Lin An even one message, Lin An wouldn't have mentioned Xiao Chacha today, because he felt guilty.

However, she didn't send it, so Lin An habitually did things his way.

Actually, it wasn't that hard to explain. Lin An had already come up with a reason: the girl who had been his gaming companion invited him out for dinner, so he went, and the two of them played games together at her house all night.

Xu Qinghuan would believe it, Lin An believed she would believe it, because Lin An almost never lied to Xu Qinghuan. In the past, his lies were always exposed by Xu Qinghuan, so Xu Qinghuan was confident that she could see through Lin An's lies.

But Lin An had actually evolved long ago.

"Alright, alright, stop thinking about it. Come to sleep. Don't worry, your sister won't fall for a little boy like you."

As Xiao Chacha murmured this, Lin An climbed onto the bed and lay down next to Xiao Chacha. Xiao Chacha leaned over and put her arm around his shoulder, her eyes bright.

Thank you.
