Chapter 1789: New Year’s Day, Yan Family, Looks Familiar

Jiang Ruan was stirred by Yan Chi’s provocative words, causing her heart to tremble with anxiety. Just as her fingers began to move away from his chest, he reached out, pressed her head, and pulled her into his arms.

"Don’t move, just hold on a little longer."

His words seemed to carry some magic. As Jiang Ruan leaned against him, she no longer felt the urge to move.

The surroundings were too quiet; his heartbeat gradually slowed from rapid to steady, but each pulsation seemed to crash into Jiang Ruan’s ears.

"Senior..."

"Hmm?"

"Why are we in the elevator..."

They had already booked a room, so if he wanted to hold her, wouldn’t it be better to do it in the room? It would be so awkward if someone suddenly came by.

"Then let’s go back to the room."

"..."

After Yan Chi released her, Jiang Ruan bent down to pick up the fluorescent stick. Her hands seemed to still carry the residual warmth from Yan Chi’s chest, and clutching the fluorescent stick made her feel a scorching sensation.

A warm fire spread, flowing throughout her body.

The room was at the end of a corridor, Yan Chi walked in front while Jiang Ruan followed closely, her head hanging, reluctant to speak much.

She just couldn’t understand.

A man who’s usually so aloof, how could he flirt like this, as if there were no consequences.

The hotel standard room was quite ordinary, with two beds occupying most of the space. The lighting was slightly dim and dull, the window partly open, with a small breeze wafting in, carrying a bit of chill.

Yan Chi closed the window, pulled the curtains, and turned to Jiang Ruan, "Do you want to shower first, or shall I go first?"

"I’ll go first." Jiang Ruan originally planned to stay for two days, her small luggage packed with some change of clothes. She took her clothes and slipped into the bathroom.

Inside and outside the door, the atmosphere felt distinctively different.

Jiang Ruan took a deep breath. Just thinking that she would have to stay in the same room after her shower made her a little anxious. She took a quick shower to try washing away all the panic within.

Since it was quite late, Jiang Ruan didn’t linger for long and emerged from the bathroom with steam still clinging to her body.

While Yan Chi showered, she quickly dried her hair, lay on one of the beds, snuggled into the blankets, and pretended to sleep.

Soon, she heard the sound of Yan Chi leaving the bathroom.

"Ruan Ruan?" His voice was very light. Seeing no reaction from her, he seemed to lie down on the other bed, and the room’s light dimmed accordingly.

Jiang Ruan exhaled a turbid breath and then heard him say:

"You’re not asleep?"

Jiang Ruan almost went crazy. I just breathed out, and he heard it?

Are you a devil?

She lay there without responding, but then heard some rustling sounds, feeling her blanket being lifted, and the bed behind her sank...

Yan Chi came closer.

Under the blanket, their bodies touched, suddenly becoming unbearably hot.

Jiang Ruan couldn’t keep pretending. The two beds in the standard room were meant for single occupancy. Lying together felt crowded.

Lying this close, him embracing her from the back, Jiang Ruan felt like she would sweat again right after her shower.

She nervously shifted her body.

"Ruan Ruan."

Jiang Ruan grunted in response to him.

"My sister is coming home for New Year’s Day."

"I know." Yan Chi had told her about it earlier. Jiang Ruan thought since his sister was visiting, Yan Chi was bound to spend some time with her, given that she had married far away and visiting wasn’t easy.

Jiang Ruan figured he’d spend New Year’s Day with his family, and since she couldn’t return to Beijing, she had planned to go to a concert with her roommate.

"Then you should go accompany your sister tomorrow. Don’t worry about me; I can return to school by myself." Jiang Ruan mistakenly thought this was what Yan Chi wanted to discuss, thinking to herself she’s quite the considerate girlfriend.

But at that moment, she felt a warm breath at the back of her neck, causing her to shrink away.

In this situation, alone in a bed with a guy, sparks may fly, leading to inevitable passion and confusion...

Jiang Ruan felt like she was being engulfed by the sea, struggling to breathe.

"Ruan Ruan..."

"Hmm?"

"I want to introduce you to my family, during New Year’s Day, when my sister comes back, what do you think?"

At that moment, he was kissing, holding her, and her mind was foggy. It was almost 3 or 4 AM after all, and she had watched a concert and been traveling back and forth. Upon hearing about meeting the parents, she was briefly alert.

But that brief return to reason seemed to be engulfed by the sea again.

In an instant...

Gone.

**

That night, they ultimately didn’t progress to the final step.

Jiang Ruan was simply too exhausted to even know when she fell asleep.

On the other hand, Yan Chi appeared to have only slept a little while; he was up by seven in the morning to make a call.
