Chapter 126: The Last Time.

The faint morning light seeped through the balcony, casting onto the sofa, illuminating their sweaty skin with a somewhat radiant feeling.

Xu Lin slowly opened his eyes, quickly shutting them again from the piercing light, taking a few seconds to adjust.

His body wanted to move slightly, but he felt incredibly heavy.

Opening his eyes once more, a pretty face lay against his chest, warm breath brushing against his skin.

It suddenly dawned on him that he couldn't resist his desires yesterday, succumbing from a boy to a man.

Though he thought about it, reminiscing about last night's scenes, a smile crept onto his lips involuntarily.

While he felt happy at the moment, there was also a wave of pressure after the excitement.

He doesn't know how to handle Qin Yunhe...

They don't have much emotional foundation. If it were with Chu Qingchan, Ji Yun, or even Chu Fengyi, he could at least give the other party a definite commitment.

But if he were to make a promise to Qin Yunhe at this moment, could he really fulfill it completely? But if he doesn't say anything, he can't get past this hurdle in his heart.

Every girl is a treasure in the eyes of her parents and family, showered with love and care.

And a man also has a responsibility to take care of her, no matter the reason, once you've done something, you've done it.

"Huh… What should I do?"

"What do you want to do?"

"You're awake?" Xu Lin was surprised, seeing a pair of slightly reddened eyes.

"Yeah, I need to take a shower, I'm all sweaty."

She seemed indifferent, getting up from him.

Xu Lin also noticed a small bloodstain on the sofa, which strengthened his determination to take full responsibility.

He went straight up and hugged the limping Qin Yunhe, then lifted her up like a princess!

"What are you doing?! I said it was just once, sister didn't ask you to take responsibility."

Qin Yunhe spoke coldly, as if she didn't recognize anyone after pulling up her skirt. But Xu Lin knows that she just doesn't want to force him to take responsibility.

Normally, in situations like this, girls would let the guy take responsibility, but she didn't.

And that's for his own sake. He was really surrounded by a group of good girls, which made him even more uncomfortable.

"I'll walk you to the shower."

"I can go by myself."

"I need to shower too; there's hair all over me." Xu Lin glanced at the bits of hair on his body.

Of course, there were also small, slender scratches from fingernails, and his back was still burning in pain, probably with many blood marks.

"You were really ruthless."

"You're the ruthless one! That was the first time for me..."

"I lost control there, didn't I? Sorry... But then again, you also adapted, didn't you?"

"Let's not talk about that anymore, just take me to shower."

At this point, Qin Yunhe, as a girl, couldn't hold back either, and her face turned red directly.

"Okay!"

Entering the bathroom, Xu Lin also put the other party into the bathtub and turned on the shower and the water heater. Then, as soon as the water came down, he felt even more intense pain on his back.

"Ah—!"

"I'll apply some medicine to you later."

"Yeah, by the way, there aren't any clothes for me to wear at your place. How am I going back? My clothes are all torn."

"Wait, I'll go buy you some."

"But you can't even walk properly now..."

"Then you can wear my, I have a relatively large shirt, and a pair of sweatpants, just put on your jacket."

"No... It's mainly the clothes inside."

"You're a grown man, just wearing a pair of pants is fine, who's going to stare at you."

Although Qin Yunhe said so, her eyes kept sizing him up, making Xu Lin unable to bear it and turned away.

"Getting shy now, you little rascal~"

"Sister Qin, how am I a little rascal?"

"Alright, a big rascal then. Men's pride, huh~" Qin Yunhe said, leaving Xu Lin unsure of what to say.

Originally, he thought the two would be awkward for a while, but he didn't expect Qin Yunhe to be even more open-minded than him, making jokes.

"Qin Yunhe, even though yesterday was just an accident, but I must..."

"I said, this matter is in the past! You focus on your studies, and I'll continue with my work, okay?"

Her tone instantly became serious, as she got up and started filling the bathtub with water, her back turned to him, no longer saying anything.

Xu Lin lowered his head, starting to wash his hair, also silent, seeming somewhat despondent.

Qin Yunhe stole a glance at him, feeling a bit uneasy herself. By the end of last night, there really weren't any lingering effects between them.

But she couldn't let him promise her anything, take responsibility for anything, especially since he was just a student, and moreover, he was Wanwan's student.

She's an adult, she should be responsible for herself, and besides, they had only just met not long ago.

To be honest, I don't know why, but if I can't be with this little guy in the future, I might not be with any other man either.

Maybe I have a first love kind of feeling? But most men are afraid of commitment.

He's different, though.

When I said he didn't have to make a commitment, he got upset.

This boy, he's kind of cute.

Watching Xu Lin's figure, Qin Yunhe sighed deeply, "After you finish washing your hair, come join me in the bath!"

"I'll come over after you're done."

"Let's do it together, we've already been in close contact, no need to be so coy!"

Qin Yunhe said this, so Xu Lin shook off the foam on his head and dashed out directly!

The two fought together again!

More than half an hour later, Qin Yunhe applied medicine for Xu Lin, and he suddenly remembered something very scary!

Yesterday he didn't notify anyone and didn't go home!

There's also Ji Yun, he told her he would notify her when he got home.

There's also the breakfast he would have to make for them in the morning, then taking them out for exercise, and of course going to school.

Glancing at the clock, it's now exactly 9 o'clock, and it's already in the second class of school.

Damn it, he's really skipped school!

"I'm going back. I'm afraid I'll have to have a serious talk with my family."

"Don't mention our situation. I can help you out and talk to your parents for you."

"Um, well, about you... I can take responsibility! Although I'm young, but..."

"Okay, Xu Lin, I really don't want to talk about this! I hope you understand, we're not suitable for each other right now, and we shouldn't be together."

"Of course, don't worry, I'm not looking for a boyfriend right now either. I just feel like we have plenty of time, some decisions can be made a bit slower."

"Give yourself some time, and give me some time too, to understand each other better, can we decide later?"

Listening to Qin Yunhe's understanding words, Xu Lin felt warm inside.

Turning around, he directly cupped her face, tucking strands of her hair behind her ear.

"What are you doing? You can't do this anymore, your body can't handle it, you'll have problems sooner or later."

"I'm not doing anything bad, I just want to kiss you."

"Just one kiss."

"You said the same thing yesterday."

"I'm being serious!" Qin Yunhe raised a small fist, completely devoid of her usual assertive demeanor, only a hint of coyness.

"Then, this is the second time, the last time."

Qin Yunhe looked at Xu Lin's face, her heartbeat quickening slightly. "The last time... it truly is the last time."
