Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Probing

With the goal of trying out every model of DiDi Premier cars, Zhang Yan tried to book a different type of vehicle each time he hailed a ride. This time, it was a standard five-seater. The back row had a continuous bench seat, making it quite spacious for two people.

When Xiaoyan got in the car, he made room for her by shifting inward, though he didn’t go all the way to the other side. He sat roughly between the middle and the far window seat. After Xiaoyan got in, whether intentionally or not, she also scooted further inward, sitting roughly between the middle and the door-side seat. As a result, the two of them were almost pressed against each other, with only a few centimeters of space between them.

At that moment, the distinctive side slit of Xiaoyan’s dress happened to be right next to Zhang Yan’s hand. With just a slight movement, he could reach through that "window" and touch the soft skin of her outer hip. Once this thought appeared, it lingered in his mind, refusing to fade. It was as if a voice was constantly tempting him to reach out and cop a feel. That was already a very private area, but Xiaoyan acted as if she hadn’t noticed a thing. Without any guard up, she wore a natural expression as she continued asking slightly ambiguous questions.

Zhang Yan finally managed to tear his gaze away from the abyss, only to notice the delicate distance between them. Her somewhat flirtatious question made his heart skip a beat.

"Your dress is beautiful, of course, but you are even more beautiful," he said. "You have a great figure, so anything you wear looks stunning."

"Hehe, you’re so good at giving compliments, Zhang Yan. Then, what do you think is the most beautiful part of me?"

This crossed the line of mere ambiguity and carried a hint of teasing. Zhang Yan simply smiled without answering, knowing when to stop, and didn’t continue playing this tug-of-war game with her. In Zhang Yan’s plan, he needed to maintain a slightly aloof persona to keep her feeling a sense of crisis and anxiety, which would push her to make more aggressive moves. So far, the results were quite good.

DiDi Premier drivers were all professionally trained. They usually drove very steadily, maintaining a constant speed to ensure that even passengers prone to motion sickness wouldn’t feel uncomfortable. However, since Zhang Yan, the paying customer, had specifically made certain requests, they knew how to be flexible.

When taking a turn, the driver maintained just the right amount of speed. Under the effect of centrifugal force, Xiaoyan was thrown in Zhang Yan’s direction, and her faintly fragrant body leaned against him.

When getting into the car, Zhang Yan had already noticed the "weakness" in Xiaoyan’s outfit. He had kept his hand resting on the outside of his thigh, just waiting for her to walk right into his trap. Naturally, this route was also specially selected by Zhang Yan himself.

As she leaned over, the back of his hand pressed tightly against a patch of smooth skin. Their shoulders touched, and her hair brushed against his cheek. The distance between the two seemed to close instantly—and not just in a physical sense.

The car quickly straightened out and continued driving smoothly forward. But Xiaoyan didn’t move back. She just kept leaning against him, as if completely oblivious to the breakthrough in their physical boundaries.

"Zhang Yan, what kind of car did you buy this time?"

"A Hongqi Guoya. It’s a new model, so you might not have heard of it."

The driver inwardly shook his head. As a veteran driver, he had naturally heard of the famous Hongqi brand, especially the Hongqi Guoya model that debuted in June. If his pockets weren’t so empty, he would have loved to get his hands on one to drive, even if just to rent it for a few days! But the problem was, this car hadn’t even gone on sale yet!

He thought, "Do young people nowadays not even do basic research when picking up girls? Let’s see how you talk your way out of this when we get there."

Although Xiaoyan had always wanted a car of her own, she only paid attention to models suited for women. As for the cars that guys liked, she had only heard of a few like Ferrari and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Naturally, she hadn’t heard of the brand Zhang Yan mentioned. However, she just assumed she was ignorant. She figured that since Zhang Yan was buying it, it was most likely a luxury car worth millions—after all, he had dropped eight hundred thousand on a watch at an auction.

There was another turn, this one a bit sharper. Following Zhang Yan’s instructions, the driver purposely accelerated ahead of time, making this corner even more thrilling and increasing the centrifugal force.

Zhang Yan didn’t bother trying to steady himself; instead, he took advantage of the centrifugal force to press his entire body against hers. Xiaoyan already couldn’t steady herself, and with Zhang Yan leaning into her, she completely lost her balance. The two of them tumbled over onto the backseat together.

"Ah!"

She crossed her arms over her chest, her shoulders shrinking back as if she was being held in Zhang Yan’s embrace. Pressing down on her, his mouth was right next to her soft, delicate ear. Zhang Yan knew this was a massive weak spot for the vast majority of girls. So, breathing hot air, he blew softly into it and whispered, "How is this driver driving? Are you okay, Xiaoyan?"

Stimulated by the hot breath in her ear, Xiaoyan’s entire body couldn’t help but tremble slightly. But since Zhang Yan was pinning her down, she couldn’t move at all and could only wriggle her body gently. This squirming, however, sent a strange sensation through her entire body.

"I-I’m fine."

She had never experienced such intimate contact with the opposite sex before. Just biting the bullet and leaning against him earlier had already drained all her courage. The current situation wildly exceeded her expectations. While she did want to speed up the progress of their relationship, she hadn’t expected it to go this far!

The short bend in the road was quickly passed.

Zhang Yan supported himself on the backseat with one arm and smoothly sat back up. But whether intentionally or not, the spot he leaned on was extremely close to Xiaoyan’s most prominent curves. As the seat cushion sank, her body naturally tilted. It felt as though he had touched her, yet also as though he hadn’t.

After getting up, he gentlemanly offered his hand and pulled Xiaoyan up as well. This was probably their first time holding hands. Her hand was pale and soft, much like Chi Xinyue’s, but Xiaoyan’s was warmer. To Zhang Yan, Xinyue always felt cool to the touch, whereas Xiaoyan radiated a gentle warmth.

"Thank you."

Appropriately timed physical contact indeed accelerated their mutual understanding and positioning of each other. Girls were very sensitive to distance. Just by looking at the gap between two people walking down the street, one could roughly determine the relationship or emotional status of a man and a woman. When she took the initiative to close the distance and didn’t resist physical contact, it largely reflected your status in her heart.

Therefore, Zhang Yan hadn’t specially arranged for these two sharp turns just to cop a feel, but to determine Xiaoyan’s inner thoughts and boundaries. Throughout the process, he had been carefully observing Xiaoyan’s facial expressions and instinctive physical reactions. And he was extremely satisfied with the results.

From body to mind, she had accepted the approach and touch of the individual known as Zhang Yan. Even with intimate actions bordering on an embrace, she only showed shyness rather than resistance.

He thought, "Looks like I can speed things up a bit."
