A super-rich tycoon? No, just call me the gentlemanly gigolo.

"Jiang Ye, why are you lying here again? Come here! Lie on your left side!"

Lin Wanxing, her face dark, patted the empty seat on her left in an annoyed manner.

She naturally heard Lu Man's heavy breathing, but the two of them tacitly chose to ignore it.

"Oh, okay, okay~"

Jiang Ye agreed with unusual ease, propped himself up again, threw his thigh onto Lin Wanxing, and pretended to rub against her.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

"Didn't you tell me to come over?"

"Why don't you get up and go over there?!"

"That won't do!"

Jiang Ye refuted the geography with righteous indignation:

"I'm not wearing underwear, so if I lift the blanket, my butt will be exposed. This woman next to me looks like she has ulterior motives. What if she pretends to turn over and reaches out... cough, does something like a thousand-year kill on me? Who can stand that? So I'll just rub against you. Don't worry, Wanxing, I'll just rub against you, I promise I won't do anything."

"..."

Lin Wanxing felt the weight slowly pressing down on her from the side, a vein throbbed on her forehead, and with a dark face, she shoved the person back down:

"I'm speechless! Just sleep here! Don't move!"

"Okay, sure."

Jiang Ye obediently pulled his legs back and lay down properly.

There was a two-second silence.

Then--

He reached out his hand again.

"well......"

His voice suddenly became gentle and deep, and his hand, through the thin strap of his camisole, covered Lin Wanxing's waist:

"Wanxing, you've lost weight."

"..."

Lin Wanxing felt the restless hand under the covers and took a deep breath.

Okay, I got it. I guess I'm going to get this advantage today.

Pretending to be asleep won't work, shouting won't work, and pulling off the covers won't work either—because this guy really isn't wearing underwear.

She gritted her teeth, decided to give up entirely, and simply closed her eyes.

As long as she doesn't respond, Lu Man on the other end won't know exactly what's happening here.

As long as Lu Man doesn't know, she can deceive herself and pretend that nothing happened.

At worst, we can just let this guy do a slow-motion replay of his left and right hands, then a slow-motion replay of his left and right hands, and wait until tomorrow...

Wait until tomorrow...

Eh?

Just as Lin Wanxing's mind was in turmoil and she was trying to hypnotize herself, she suddenly realized a problem.

That's not right.

Given this guy's level of thuggery, he would have already used both his skills and his methods to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

How come... you only have one hand?

Of course, it's not that one hand is wrong.

The key question is—what is this guy doing with his other hand?

Lin Wanxing snorted coldly, abruptly pressing down on the restless hand on her chest, and lowered her voice:

"Jiang Ye! Where's your other hand?"

"Huh? Which hand?"

Jiang Ye was taken aback at first, then seemed to realize something, and his face instantly turned "shocked":

"Damn it! Wanxing, what do you take me for? How could I possibly... cough, do something so lewd in front of you? I didn't even move the blanket!"

"???"

Seeing Jiang Ye's aggrieved expression, as if he had suffered a great injustice, Lin Wanxing was also taken aback.

What she originally wanted to ask was—did this guy reach out his other hand to Lu Man, hoping she would pull it back?

But judging from the other person's expression and tone, it seems like they're not talking about that at all.

And his other hand...

"Jiang Ye! You... ugh!"

In the darkness, Lin Wanxing looked at Jiang Ye's face full of shame and indignation, and subconsciously followed his gaze downwards.

When she saw what was under the covers, her face flushed instantly. Just as she was about to cry out, Jiang Ye quickly covered her mouth.

"Damn it! Wanxing, keep your voice down! Shouting so loudly, I thought you had megalophobia... Lu Man's asleep, it'll be so embarrassing if you wake her up!"

"You...you're shameless!"

Lin Wanxing pried his hands off, and hearing the damned laughter in his tone, she couldn't help but feel both ashamed and angry. A vein throbbed on her forehead, and she abruptly rolled over, turning her back to him.

"Go to sleep! No talking!"

"OK, OK."

Jiang Ye grinned and patted Lu Man, who was also facing away from him.

Seeing the latter let out a soft hum, he understood and moved closer to the edge of the bed before turning to embrace Lin Wanxing from behind:

"Coach Lin...you smell so good."

"..."

Lin Wanxing felt the increasingly hot body temperature behind her and the whispered words gently stroking her ear, and her body involuntarily stiffened:

"I...I'm warning you! Don't move! If you dare to move...I...I'll..."

"Okay, okay, I know. Just tell Chengcheng. Don't worry, I swear, if I touch you tonight, I'll..."

"Come on! You're going to swear an oath and then... or maybe you shouldn't, in case it really comes true..."

"..."

Jiang Ye was slightly taken aback, then chuckled and shook his head, tightening his arms around her even more.

"Evening Star, sometimes I really feel..."

"Wait!"

"Um?"

"Where's your other hand?"

"..."

"Give me your hand too! Don't even think about taking advantage of that woman."

"..."

Jiang Ye watched as Lin Wanxing slightly raised her head, gesturing for him to do as she said, and with a wry smile, he reached out the hand that had been pressing down on her and let her rest her head on his arm.

Sometimes I really feel like I can't understand you...

"snort......"

In the darkness, Lin Wanxing let out a soft hum, it was hard to tell whether it was from annoyance or something else.

Perhaps it was because of the plausible reason of "keeping an eye on Xiao Ye", perhaps it was the subtle stimulation brought about by being in an unfamiliar environment, or perhaps it was because the darkness amplified her senses and blurred her boundaries, she hesitated for a moment, and her lower body, which had been awkwardly curled up, gradually relaxed.

She tentatively leaned back, her back pressed against the warm chest of the man behind her, and little by little, she melted into his embrace.

The second bedroom gradually quieted down.

In the bright night sky outside the window, the occasional low rumble of trucks passing by on the distant overpass and the faint music coming from some bar further away seemed like echoes from another world.

The three of them squeezed onto a large bed, their breathing gradually becoming even, as if they had truly drifted off to sleep.

I don't know how much time passed.

It could be ten minutes, or it could be an hour.

Jiang Ye, who had been listening intently to Lu Man's breathing, suddenly poked the woman in his arms gently with his finger:

"Evening Star? Evening Star? Are you asleep?"

"Not yet, why?"

"Okay, Lu Man should be asleep by now."
