My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

Lin Jiu slowly reached out and slipped his hand under Wang Yuting's blanket on the soft mattress.

The warmth brought a sense of comfort to Lin Jiu's icy hands, making her reluctant to move them away and wishing she could bury herself completely inside. After all, the thin blanket covering Lin Jiu wasn't so bad in the living room, but it wasn't enough in an air-conditioned room.

"Were you hiding your hands behind your back?"

Lin Jiu looked into Wang Yuting's eyes, trying to find the answer in her gaze.

"Haha, how could that be!"

Wang Yuting gave a knowing look and quietly looked away.

Lin Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly. Since that's the case, then he wouldn't stand on ceremony.

A swift and decisive victory!

Lin Jiu suddenly stretched his hand forward dramatically, abandoning his previous indecisive attitude and displaying a burst of masculinity.

"Well!"

Wang Yuting felt Lin Jiu's presence suddenly approach, and the paper defense she had painstakingly folded was instantly shattered.

Lin Jiu's hand continued to explore forward, his fingertips tracing the slender body of Wang Yuting. The plump, soft, and delicate touch conveyed itself to Lin Jiu through his fingers. He realized that girls could be so delicate, which made him pay attention to them.

"Weren't you hiding your hands behind your back?!"

"I, I never said that..." Wang Yuting replied, looking aggrieved.

Lin Jiu replayed the memory in her mind. She didn't seem to have said it. It was just that Lin Jiu had misunderstood.

"I misunderstood you, I'm sorry."

"It's okay... let's continue."

Wang Yuting blushed and lowered her head.

The game of hide-and-seek is not over yet.

Since that's the case, then don't blame me! Lin Jiu decided to reach up and touch her shoulder, then slide down. This was a forbidden move, particularly cheating, but if the stalemate continued, Lin Jiu would ultimately be the one to lose.

"I'm going!"

Lin Jiu moved closer to Wang Yuting, almost embracing her, and cornered her against the wall without saying a word.

His hand began to move upwards, during which the back of his hand touched a peculiar softness that threw Lin Jiu into utter confusion. An unprecedented softness and elasticity overwhelmed him, but fortunately, Lin Jiu's rationality allowed him to stop in time. His restless hand struggled for a moment, but ultimately did not stop at the peculiar spot; instead, it continued its upward climb.

The more Lin Jiu reminded himself not to pay attention, the more obvious the softness his fingers felt became, and his rationality was on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, at this moment, Lin Jiu successfully touched Wang Yuting's shoulder, and he could see his hand even through the blanket.

We won!

We've won at least half the battle!

Lin Jiu slowly exhaled.

This is really bad for your heart.

He looked up at Wang Yuting and realized that she wasn't actually as at ease as she had been at the beginning.

At this moment, Wang Yuting was so shy that she wanted to curl up into a ball, but she still tried her best to straighten her body and let Lin Jiu do as she pleased.

The only sound in the quiet room was their breathing.

Lin Jiu knew she couldn't afford to waste any more time.

Go all out!

Lin Jiu's hand slid down Wang Yuting's shoulder, the contact points sending an incredible sensation through her. Her skin was incredibly smooth and warm, feeling exceptionally good to the touch. Especially when Lin Jiu accidentally touched that area that seemed heavier than it appeared, it triggered a warning signal from her senses, and her fingers became somewhat unruly.

"Got you."

Lin Jiu grasped Wang Yuting's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Um……"

Wang Yuting lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu then realized that he had been too rough and might have hurt her.

"Are you alright? Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt..."

Wang Yuting made a silly sound.

Lin Jiu's hands seemed to possess a magical power, giving her a tingling, numb feeling that she didn't find unpleasant.

Wang Yuting muttered to herself, "It's even more comfortable than I imagined..."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing! Go to sleep!"

Wang Yuting grasped Lin Jiu's hand in return, their fingers intertwined, and closed her eyes.

Lin Jiu looked at her sleeping face, not expecting that she had really fallen asleep. It had only been less than three seconds, right?

Ultimately, the reason Wang Yuting was so unguarded was probably because she felt Lin Jiu could do whatever he wanted... This made Lin Jiu both happy and conflicted; it was so unfair that he was the only one trying to endure it.

"Sleeping so soundly, you have no idea how much trouble I'm worried about you."

Lin Jiu reached out her other hand and brushed away the hair that had fallen near Wang Yuting's mouth.

He hesitated for a moment, then gently stroked Wang Yuting's cheek with his fingertips.

Her body temperature was slightly higher than Lin Jiu's, and she felt especially comfortable to touch, making one want to keep touching her.

"Hey hey hey..."

Under Lin Jiu's caress, Wang Yuting revealed her innocent sleeping face.

Lin Jiu couldn't help but smile.

I really can't do anything with you, so I'll just touch you a little longer.

Lin Jiu became much bolder. He had endured so much, so it wasn't unreasonable to consider this little bit of benefit as interest, right?

One day, he will get it back with interest.

"Wait until I'm a little older, wait until I..."

Lin Jiu moved the pillow a little closer to Wang Yuting.

He felt the warmth from his palms, gave half of the thin blanket to Wang Yuting, and snuggled up beside her.

"Good night."

Chapter Seventy-Three Night Raid

midnight.

After Lin Jiu fell asleep, Wang Yuting opened her eyes groggily.

Because of her high body temperature, she sometimes gets up to drink a glass of water, and there is always a water bottle by her bedside.

Wang Yuting instinctively reached out her hand, but the sensation in her palm made her heart skip a beat. Her half-asleep mind slowly realized what was happening, and her eyes began to adjust to the dim environment. When she saw Lin Jiu in her arms, her sleepy eyes slowly regained their color, and her mind gradually became active.

"Oh yeah..."

Wang Yuting finally remembered that there was such a thing.

After much persuasion, she finally managed to get Lin Jiu into bed.

My foolish Jiu Jiu, there's only zero times or countless times when it comes to sex! That's my routine!

Wang Yuting resisted the urge to lay a hand on Lin Jiu. She was a woman of her word and naturally wouldn't break her promise. However… she had only said she wouldn't lay a hand on him, not that she wouldn't say anything!

Lin Jiu, you idiot. You'll definitely suffer in the future if you keep going like this. Let me teach you how cruel society is first.

Wang Yuting shifted her head, intending to steal a kiss from Lin Jiu, but found him trembling.

She was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had taken most of Lin Jiu's blanket, and Lin Jiu had only covered herself with a small part of it.

Although setting the air conditioner to 26 degrees Celsius won't be too cold, you'll definitely catch a cold if you don't cover yourself with a blanket.

"Was my sleeping posture really that bad...?"

Wang Yuting bit her lip in shame and quickly returned the blanket to Lin Jiu. Looking at Lin Jiu still curled up, she felt a pang of guilt. If her bad intentions had caused him to catch a cold, she would never dare ask Lin Jiu to sleep in her bed again.

Wang Yuting analyzed the situation calmly and thought deeply, finally drawing a conclusion.

First of all, she had promised Lin Jiu that she wouldn't lay a hand on him, otherwise they wouldn't sleep together anymore.

Secondly, if Lin Jiu catches a cold because of this, she will feel that it is her fault and will not dare to ask him to sleep together again.

Therefore, there is only one answer.

Wang Yuting lifted a corner of her blanket and gently carried Lin Jiu inside.

Lin Jiu's shoulders trembled slightly. Due to the extremely harsh environment he had lived in, his sleep quality was quite poor, to the point that he was easily awakened, like a small animal. Even the slightest sound would startle him awake, but at this time he would not regain consciousness. Instead, he would vaguely assess whether there was any danger, and if everything was alright, he would continue to sleep.

During the years Lin Jiu lived in the urban village, he never let his guard down.

he does not know……

He didn't know if that man would one day lose all his money and then sell him to those disgusting gamblers who looked at him strangely. He was always on guard against this and never dared to let his guard down.

Lin Jiu kept an awl hidden under his iron-framed bed, and every night he would prepare to take it out to protect himself. If he heard the sound of a key turning in the lock, he would not hesitate to take it out from under the bed and fight back with his life.

"Well……"

Lin Jiu slowly raised his eyelids and stared blankly at Wang Yuting.

Just as Wang Yuting was about to explain, Lin Jiu suddenly nuzzled his head against her chest, wrapped his arms around her waist, and the warm breath from his mouth penetrated through the thin nightgown to Wang Yuting's abdomen.

"Eh?! Eh?!"

Wang Yuting was so excited she almost made a sound.

Has this child finally seen the light? Great, I'm all set.

"call……"

Lin Jiu's even breathing dispelled the evil thoughts that had welled up in Wang Yuting's mind.

"Oh, he was still half asleep..."

Wang Yuting muttered to herself that she felt a little regretful, but that feeling quickly dissipated.
