"Sister Sixian, it's so late, why don't you stay here?" Shen Shaoting grabbed Meng Sixian's hand, blinking her eyes. "Anyway, you don't have to go to work tomorrow, so why don't you just stay here! The bed is big, the three of us can squeeze in and chat!"

Meng Sixian blushed. For some reason, her first thought was that Chen Fei had just returned from Hangzhou. If he wanted to do something with Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi, it would be very inconvenient for them if she were there.

So she quickly waved her hand: "No, no need, Shaoting, I actually have some things to do at the shop tomorrow, some handover work, I have to go there. Besides, I didn't bring any change of clothes, it's too much trouble."

As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Fei subconsciously, her eyes filled with a pleading look.

Chen Fei naturally understood and picked up the conversation naturally: "Si Xian has plans for tomorrow, so it's really inconvenient for her to stay here and rush back in the morning. I'll take her back."

Shen Shaoting was about to say something when Lin Jingyi, who was standing next to her, tugged at her clothes and then said gently to Meng Sixian, "Sister Sixian, be careful on the road. Send us a message when you arrive. Come and have fun again next time you have a holiday."

Meng Sixian nodded: "Okay, thank you Jingyi, thank you Shaoting. Thank you so much for tonight."

Chen Fei picked up his car keys: "Let's go, my car is downstairs."

Go downstairs and get in the car.

The city streets were sparsely populated at night, and the glow of the streetlights swept across the car windows at a steady pace.

The carriage was quiet, with only the low rumble of the engine.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Meng Sixian turned her head to look out the window. The warmth and intense emotions from her heart-to-heart talk in room 801 had subsided, replaced by a gentle tranquility and a lingering shyness.

While she was in school and working, she fantasized countless times about how she would find a partner and how she would introduce him to her parents.

I considered countless possibilities, but I never expected Chen Fei's approach.

Although tonight's chat didn't change anything substantial, it made her feel more relaxed than when she arrived.

At least the inner turmoil is gone, and there's only one thing left to deal with—getting my parents' approval.

In this state of mind, she began to appreciate the night view along the way and fantasize about her future life.

Chen Fei didn't try to find topics to talk about; he just drove steadily.

This tranquility is not awkward; rather, it feels like a tacit buffer.

The car was parked downstairs in the apartment building where Meng Sixian lived.

This is an old-style residential area with relatively good management, dim streetlights, and swaying tree shadows.

"We've arrived." Chen Fei stopped the car and unbuckled his seatbelt.

"Okay, thank you." Meng Sixian also unbuckled her seatbelt, but did not get out of the car immediately.

She gripped the bag strap with her fingers, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then, as if she had made up her mind, suddenly turned around.

Just as Chen Fei turned his head to say something, a touch with a faint, sweet scent gently landed on his cheek.

Instantly separate.

Meng Sixian moved quickly, pulling away immediately after the kiss, her cheeks flushed even in the dim light.

She didn't even dare to look Chen Fei in the eye, her head lowered, her voice thin and urgent, trembling: "Thank you, Chen Fei, and... goodnight!"

After saying that, she almost frantically pushed open the car door, rushed into the apartment building without looking back, and quickly disappeared into the corridor.

Chen Fei stood there, stunned, the spot on his cheek where he had been kissed still seemed to retain a slightly cool dampness.

He didn't expect Meng Sixian to suddenly make such a bold move. It seems that tonight's chat really helped her resolve a lot of her inner conflicts.

[Ding! Meng Sixian's favorability has greatly increased! Current favorability: 60%!]

[Ding! The favorability level of the key female character (Meng Sixian) has reached 60%, meeting the conditions for unlocking random rewards!]

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired a special skill: Heartstring Resonance!]

[Skill Description: When the host directly contacts the target's skin, they can actively consume stamina to briefly perceive the target's strongest current emotion. The clarity of perception is positively correlated with the host's concentration and the area and closeness of physical contact between the two parties.]

[Skill Limitations: Repeated use on the same target within a short period yields diminishing returns. Cannot read specific thoughts, only perceives the overall emotional tone.]

[Note: The human heart is like the sea, emotions like the tides. The moment skin is touched, one might hear the most surging echo of that heart's emotions. Please use this technique wisely, and refrain from crossing the line.]

A series of system notifications rang in my mind.

Chen Fei snapped out of his daze from Meng Sixian's sudden light kiss, looked at the description of his newly acquired skill, and gasped.

Heartstring resonance: Directly perceiving intense emotions?

This skill looks amazing. Although it's not mind reading, it could definitely play an unexpected role in crucial moments.

Especially now that I have to deal with so many girls with different thoughts and feelings at the same time...

He watched as Meng Sixian disappeared from the stairwell window, and the lights on several floors turned on one after another, finally going out on the fourth floor.

Chen Fei smiled, started the car, and turned around to go home.

As soon as I pressed the fingerprint lock at the door, it opened, and two figures came to greet me.

"Why are you back!" Shen Shaoting ran over barefoot, her face showing undisguised disappointment. "I thought you were going to stay at Sixian's house overnight."

Chen Fei shook his head helplessly: "Why are you more anxious than I am?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Fei suddenly felt an urge to try out the "heartstring resonance" he had just acquired.

He didn't answer Shen Shaoting's question, but instead stepped forward, stretched out his arms, and gently embraced both girls.

"What are you doing? We're still in the hallway," Shen Shaoting muttered under her breath, but still smiled and hugged him back, nuzzling her head against his neck.

Lin Jingyi stiffened for a moment, but quickly relaxed, quietly leaning against his other shoulder, her cheek gently pressed against his chest.

In the instant of the embrace, Chen Fei's mind stirred, and he quietly activated the [Heartstring Resonance] skill.

I could feel my energy being drained, probably to the point where I needed to eat an extra meal.

The first thing I felt was from Shen Shaoting.

The emotion conveyed was undisguised joy, like bubbly Sprite under the summer sun—sweet and vibrant.

Almost simultaneously, the feeling coming from Lin Jingyi was completely different.

Her body was more supple than Shen Shaoting's, and the way she leaned on him conveyed a sense of complete surrender.

Through the close-fitting clothes and skin, Chen Fei could actually sense a very surging emotion.

It was a burning desire that was being forcefully suppressed. In addition to simple and brutal physical desires, there was also an emotion of wanting more contact and being possessed, which formed a huge contrast with her quiet and docile appearance at this moment.

Chen Fei was startled.

Shen Shaoting's "happiness" was within his expectations. But Lin Jingyi's almost overwhelming desire... Didn't she go on a photoshoot today? How does she still have so much energy?!

Chen Fei looked down at Lin Jingyi, who was nestled in his arms.

Her eyes were closed, her breathing was soft, and she looked so peaceful and beautiful.

If it weren't for his skill-based perception, he would never have been able to imagine that such intense emotions were surging beneath this gentle and tender body.

He unconsciously tightened his arms, holding the two girls even closer to his chest.

"It's nothing," Chen Fei replied to Shen Shaoting's question in a low voice, his voice a little hoarse, "I just wanted to hug you all."
