Chapter 35: Slightly Sweet, Rare Treat

Shen Lang always believed that a real kiss between a couple required tongue action; it wasn't just child's play with lips touching lips. The last time he refrained, it was because their relationship hadn't yet reached that level. Now, with the timing and atmosphere just right, Shen Lang boldly expressed his possessive desire.

"This... this..."

Pure-hearted Su Lexuan blushed deeply, her lips trembling slightly in shock at Shen Lang's brazen request. However, seeing his serious and hopeful expression, she hesitated before shyly murmuring, "Up to you."

With her reluctant consent, Shen Lang was overjoyed. Nervously yet excitedly, he leaned in closer.

A real kiss isn't child's play, and it's definitely not just lips touching lips. As he kissed Su Lexuan, he gently nibbled on her soft lips, savoring the taste for a few seconds before slowly releasing and continuing to explore her mouth tenderly.

Yes, slightly sweet, a rare treat~

Su Lexuan tightly clenched her fists against her chest, holding her breath like a diver. After a few minutes, she began to follow Shen Lang's rhythm, her furrowed brow relaxing as she clumsily but eagerly responded to his kiss.

They passionately kissed for several minutes. The rain outside grew heavier, and the surroundings darkened, ensuring their privacy. Growing bolder, Shen Lang's hands wandered, lifting Su Lexuan's thin t-shirt to caress her smooth abdomen and gradually moving upwards.

Regaining a bit of composure, Su Lexuan weakly pushed away his mischievous hands, murmuring breathlessly, "No... Shen Lang, you're so bad..."

It was unclear how much time had passed, but the rain eventually stopped. Panting heavily, Su Lexuan leaned against Shen Lang's chest, her face flushed and her skin hot. She swallowed repeatedly, feeling incredibly thirsty.

Shen Lang, also parched, brushed Su Lexuan's sweat-drenched hair aside. Despite the cold night after the heavy rain, both were sweating and flushed.

Had anyone passed by the pavilion now, seeing Su Lexuan's disheveled state and Shen Lang's satisfied expression, they would surely have suspected something indecent had occurred.

"Hmph, you were so handsy. I won't let you kiss me next time," Su Lexuan huffed, playfully punching Shen Lang with little force, more like a playful gesture.

"Ahem, are you thirsty?" Shen Lang's throat felt hoarse despite swallowing a lot of sweet saliva. "I'm parched. Since the rain stopped, let's go get some water."

"Mm-hmm," Su Lexuan nodded eagerly, also feeling very thirsty.

They hastily tidied their clothes and, under the cover of night, discreetly left Nanting Lake.

When they arrived at the gate of Zhuhai University, it was around nine in the evening. The recent downpour had left the entrance deserted, with the security guards yawning lazily in their booth.

"It's cold outside, put on my jacket," Shen Lang said, draping his jacket over Su Lexuan's shoulders and gently touching her fair cheek with concern. "Call me when you get to your dorm. I'll take you out again when you have time."

"Mm," Su Lexuan hugged the jacket, feeling deeply cared for by Shen Lang.

Perhaps this was the romantic feeling she had always dreamed of?

"Walk me to the gate," Su Lexuan said with a hint of petulance.

Their relationship was now established, and Su Lexuan's true personality shone through. The reserved and elegant demeanor was gone, especially after Shen Lang had taken full advantage of her at Nanting Lake. Feeling she had been at a loss, she wanted to punish her touchy boyfriend.

Of course, more than anything, Su Lexuan simply didn't want to part from Shen Lang yet and wanted to spend more time with him, even if it was just a few minutes' walk.

"Alright, let's go," Shen Lang agreed.

It was his first romantic relationship, and he also wanted to spend more time with his adorable girlfriend.

After getting out of the car, Shen Lang held Su Lexuan's warm hand and adjusted his oversized jacket on her.

Feeling slightly miffed after being taken advantage of, Su Lexuan couldn't hold onto her anger upon feeling Shen Lang's considerate actions.

She leaned against his shoulder, playfully biting his arm. "Hmph, take that, see if you dare next time!"

Feeling the slight sting, Shen Lang grinned and pleaded, "I'm sorry, but I'll still dare next time!"

"You're so annoying!"

They flirted playfully all the way to the university gate.

"Since it's Sunday tomorrow, why not invite your roommates down?" Shen Lang suggested, knowing she didn't want to go back yet. "I'll treat you all to a late-night snack."

"My roommates all went home and won't be back until tomorrow afternoon," Su Lexuan said, somewhat dejectedly. "Only Xinxin is in the dorm now."

"Xinxin?"

"She's my best friend. We've known each other since middle school, and our parents are also close."

Shen Lang became serious. "Then let's invite your best friend out too."

A girlfriend's best friend is almost as important as her parents. Many times, a girlfriend's best friend can significantly influence the relationship.

In school, if a guy wants to pursue a girl, he must first win over her roommates and best friends.

"Forget it, she's quite the homebody," Su Lexuan said, shaking her head. "She's probably still in bed playing games."

"Alright then, it's late. You should go back. We'll have seven days off after training, and I'll introduce you to her then. Maybe we can go somewhere far away," Su Lexuan suggested hopefully.

"No problem!" Shen Lang nodded happily.

They gazed at each other for a moment before Shen Lang couldn't resist kissing her. "It's cold outside, hurry back to your dorm and get under the covers."

"Mm, drive slowly and text me when you get home."

"Okay."

After lingering for a while longer, Su Lexuan reluctantly headed to the dorm, turning back to look at him every few steps.

Watching her enter the school, Shen Lang returned to his Mercedes, feeling immensely satisfied.

"Today was truly a wonderful and fulfilling day," Shen Lang sighed happily, activating the Mercedes voice assistant. "Hey, Mercedes, open the music player and play 'Goodbye Kiss'."

The electronic female voice responded, "Now playing Jacky Cheung's 'Goodbye Kiss'."

Humming the classic tune, Shen Lang drove his Mercedes into the night.
