"Anyway, I don't want to. Um, Guan Yi, you sleep in the middle, and I'll hold you while you sleep. If he dares to lay a hand on you, I'll cut him off for you!"
"Then I'd be at a disadvantage!" Guan Yi said with a half-smile. With her intelligence, she knew from Gao Xiaojie's unusual reaction that something must have happened between them before. However, she wisely didn't bring it up, only sighing softly and saying, "Alright then, this young lady will reluctantly agree. But you'd better behave yourself tonight, okay?"
Chen Xu was a little surprised by Guan Yi's quick agreement. His original intention was simply to give her a blanket and let her make do in front of the computer for the night. But since Guan Yi had said that, and seeing the woman wink at him, Chen Xu felt inexplicably strange, and so he vaguely agreed… Actually, it was probably just his subconscious at work. After all, sharing a bed with two beautiful women was something he wouldn't even dare to dream of in his daily life!
After turning off the lights, the three of them lay side by side on the bed. Guan Yi and Gao Xiaojie shared a blanket, while Chen Xu covered himself with his own... The blankets were brought by Gao Xiaojie because Chen Xu's bedding was soaked, while Guan Yi casually brought only a small travel bag with a few clothes inside, without bringing a blanket.
The blanket Chen Xu was sleeping on was the same one Guan Yi had just used, and it still carried the scent of that vixen. The bed was just a regular double bed, perfect for two people, but a little cramped with three. Chen Xu and Gao Xiaojie, sleeping on either side, were practically pressed against the edge of the bed; Chen Xu felt that if he moved even slightly to the side, he might fall off. Even so, the three of them, especially Chen Xu and Guan Yi, remained very close together.
Chen Xu tilted his head, and in the darkness, he could vaguely see Guan Yi's dark, somewhat gleaming eyes looking at him... Of course, this was just Chen Xu's feeling; he wasn't sure if Guan Yi's eyes were open. Because after drawing the curtains and turning off the lights, the room was pitch black. But Chen Xu could sense that this enchantress hadn't closed her eyes; her black, pearl-like pupils faintly reflected light, a hint of amusement in their glow. It was like a curious kitten staring at a ball of yarn.
Chen Xu couldn't help but cough. He could feel the amusement in the gaze from the other side, and Guan Yi's sweet voice came through: "What's wrong, caught a cold?"
Judging from the source of the sound, it was clear that the woman's head was always turned towards him; otherwise, the sound wouldn't be so clear. Chen Xu muttered something under his breath, not even knowing what it was, and buried his head in the blanket.
After all, being stared at like that by someone, even in complete darkness, is never a pleasant experience... even if the person staring at you is a beautiful woman.
Human gaze is a strange thing, because many people have had similar experiences, such as feeling uncomfortable when someone is looking at them from behind, even if their back is turned, as if they are being spied on. Some scientists believe that when a person's gaze is focused, it generates a certain amount of very weak energy. If this secret is revealed, then the ability to shoot lasers from the eyes, like the character in X-Men, might actually become a reality.
Of course, that's beside the point. Even if Xiaomin's computer had data, it wouldn't contain any records of artificial X-Men. So, after Chen Xu tucked his head under the covers, whether it was psychological or not, having the blanket covering him immediately made him feel much more comfortable.
But at that moment, Guan Yi suddenly reached out and took away the orange blanket that was blocking his way.
Good heavens! What is this woman trying to do?
"Don't talk," Guan Yi leaned her head closer, and Chen Xu could feel her hair touching his face. Their heads were so close, and her breath tickled Chen Xu's ears. At that moment, he had an impulse to turn his head and kiss this woman.
Sensing Chen Xu shift his head awkwardly to the side, Guan Yi couldn't help but chuckle. But this devil was incredibly bold; he actually breathed directly at Chen Xu and whispered, "What, afraid I'll eat you?"
Chapter 117 First Kiss
Chen Xu is going crazy, he's about to break down!
For the first time in my life, I was actually flirted with by a woman! And this woman was sleeping next to me!
If Gao Xiaojie hadn't been there, Chen Xu would have loved to jump up and... well, you know... do that to this woman.
Actually, most college students these days, especially freshmen, are quite innocent. The main reason is that they haven't been corrupted much. Otherwise, you'd see upperclassmen in their juniors and seniors kissing and cuddling in public without a care in the world, and then casually mentioning in conversations that they went to a hotel with their spouses...
Most freshmen, aside from a few particularly assertive or even desperate couples, are still single. And those couples usually date secretly. A few times, Chen Xu would jog or stroll around the track at night and see a couple from his class, seemingly deeply in love, holding hands. But when they saw Chen Xu, they immediately and discreetly stopped. Unlike the seasoned juniors. Like that guy in Wang Dong's dorm—Chen Xu went to Wang Dong's dorm one day and saw him and his girlfriend passionately kissing on the bed. They didn't react when Chen Xu came in, just waved him off to sit down, and then, after a passionate kiss, turned to talk to Chen Xu.
So, generally speaking, students like Chen Xu, who are only halfway through their freshman year, are basically still considered newbies, the kind who would blush for ages just from holding hands. Last time, Chen Xu and Gao Xiaojie's interaction was completely unintentional, but this time, with Guan Yi's deliberate teasing, the feeling was different.
Guan Yi is a trap, an incredibly beautiful trap!
Even now, when the two are sharing a bed and can smell each other's breath, Chen Xu still believes that this woman is not someone he can afford to mess with.
Chen Xu got friend-zoned so many times when he was a kid! He almost developed a psychological trauma from it!
Who is Guan Yi? It was Qin Xiao'an's birthday that day. The brothers had drunk a bit too much, and Wu Yuan and Qin Xiao'an pulled Chen Xu aside for a heart-to-heart talk.
To be honest, Guan Yi is a stunning woman. Her looks, figure, personality, and family background are all impeccable. In fact, she's the one who has the choice to be picky. Although Chen Xu and she have a good relationship now, and everyone sees it and thinks it's quite ambiguous, the rest of the dorm knows that, at least for now, nothing has happened between Chen Xu and this woman.
To be honest, the other three roommates didn't really approve of Chen Xu being with Guan Yi. Simply put, this woman was too outstanding. Most men would feel pressured being with her, and a woman who's too beautiful tends to seem distant and unattainable. Although Chen Xu felt his relationship with Guan Yi had always been good, and given his SMMH status, he didn't need to worry about being inferior to her, Qin Xiao'an's words made him hesitate.
Qin Xiao'an said, "Third brother, everyone knows Guan Yi treats you differently now. Although she's always very polite, being too polite can sometimes be too impolite. She genuinely considers you a good friend. But who knows if she'll always just want to be a friend? To this woman, she's a friend, not a boyfriend. With a wave of her hand, the men chasing her could line up from the school gate all the way to the train station and back again. You two are on good terms now, but if you confess your feelings and ask her to be your girlfriend, will she agree? If she doesn't, then it might end up like Liu Lingtian's situation—not even being able to be ordinary friends anymore."
Chen Xu is someone who cares a lot about his friends. He hesitated upon hearing this.
He liked Guan Yi, but he knew that his liking was within a controllable range. In other words, although he liked her, it wasn't excessive. There's a big difference between liking someone and loving them.
For young people like Chen Xu, there's a subconscious yearning for a passionate, dramatic love affair, like those tumultuous romances in Qiong Yao dramas. The older students, who often say that winning a woman's heart is like logging onto QQ (a Chinese instant messaging platform), spending two hours a day on it will quickly lead to a successful relationship… this idea is still somewhat unattainable for people Chen Xu's generation… it's like trying to get a QQ account to a certain level of success on QQ; the older students start from three moons and three stars, while Chen Xu started from the moment he registered his QQ account!
So, while Guan Yi's breath tickled his ear, Chen Xu's lustful thoughts weren't too strong yet, and he could only smile wryly and say, "Sister, go to sleep, please don't bother me anymore, okay?"
"No way!" Guan Yi's voice was tinged with laughter, deliberately using a coquettish tone, "It's my first time sleeping in the same bed with a man, I can't sleep!"
Chen Xu was now truly sweating bullets. In his heart, he cried out, "Heavens above, earth below! Quickly send down a bolt of lightning! If it doesn't kill her, then kill me!"
So Chen Xu said with tears in her eyes, "Sister, why don't you switch places with Gao Xiaojie? Please stop torturing me like this."
"Oh dear," Guan Yi said regretfully, "You like Gao Xiaojie that much? Oh, this is so heartbreaking. Don't you think Gao Xiaojie is just having his cake and eating it too?"
Gao Xiaojie was now separated from Chen Xu by one person. Although they were sleeping a bit cramped, it wasn't awkward. Upon hearing this, she perked up and laughed, "Oh, did he eat you? Where did he eat you? Let me feel it?"
Then, he reached out his wicked hand from under the covers and touched Guan Yi, making Guan Yi scream in surprise. Gao Xiaojie then laughed triumphantly: "Oh my, it's so big, Chen Xu, do you want to touch it?"
Chen Xu simply covered his head with the blanket, thinking to himself, "I would like to touch it, but the problem is, how dare I touch it?"
After Guan Yi and Gao Xiaojie had been arguing for a while, Chen Xu said dejectedly, "Sisters, can you please keep your voices down? If you two keep making such a racket, people will think I have some kind of moral problem! If I really did, that would be one thing, but the problem is I haven't done anything wrong, and you're making me take the blame? Isn't that just making things difficult for me?!"
The two women burst into laughter upon hearing this, saying, "You want to have some kind of moral problem?" Guan Yi then reached his hand out from under the blanket, groped around until he reached inside Chen Xu's blanket, pinched him, and whispered, "Handsome, what kind of moral problem do you want?"
Guan Yi's hands were soft, and they felt incredibly comfortable against Chen Xu's body. But Chen Xu couldn't take it anymore. He thought to himself, "If I don't show my strength, you'll really think I'm Hello Kitty!" So Chen Xu grabbed Guan Yi's hand, turned around, and faced her sideways, then deliberately grinned lewdly and said, "Hey girl, what questions do you want?"
The two faced each other, and Chen Xu was actually incredibly nervous, as the position was far too ambiguous. Facing each other, their breaths were directly on each other's faces. However, Chen Xu knew he absolutely couldn't show weakness now, because this vixen was pushing her luck. She clearly knew he couldn't do anything to her, which was why she was deliberately provoking him; if he backed down, he'd never be able to hold his head high in front of her again.
When Chen Xu grabbed her hand, Guan Yi suddenly became very nervous. Although the two had been ambiguous many times before, this was truly the first time they had been like this in bed. Although Guan Yi was very seductive and bold, she was not a promiscuous person. She was teasing Chen Xu like this because she found him very amusing, and although she had some feelings for him, she knew that these feelings were not enough to last until now.
After a moment of nervousness, Guan Yi felt Chen Xu's hand gripping hers was placed on his chest. This allowed her to feel his heart beating rapidly; he was clearly very nervous. So she deliberately giggled and asked, "What do you want?"
Her words were soft and shy, and Chen Xu's heart fluttered upon hearing them. But he knew that this vixen was definitely doing it on purpose, so Chen Xu said, "Beautiful lady, you seem to have no sense of awareness at all. With such a delicate and beautiful woman next to me, what do you think I want to do?"
Gao Xiaojie chuckled and said, "Guan Yi, Chen Xu's getting arrogant. Let's teach him a lesson."
Hearing Gao Xiaojie fanning the flames from the side, Guan Yi wanted to pinch her. Wasn't she the one next to Chen Xu now? At that moment, Gao Xiaojie squeezed in even closer, pushing her towards Chen Xu. Now the two were even closer, Guan Yi could feel her hair brushing against Chen Xu's face.
Chen Xu could feel Guan Yi move closer to him, but he didn't realize it was Gao Xiaojie pushing him from behind. Instead, he thought this woman was incredibly bold, daring to lean in at a time like this, so he lowered his head and said, "Beautiful lady, do you know how dangerous this is?"
Feeling Chen Xu's warm breath on her face as he spoke, Guan Yi couldn't help but bury her head further under the covers. After all, she was just a girl, like Gao Xiaojie. Although one was alluring and generous and the other was spirited, when it came to this kind of thing, they were both just virgins. Guan Yi suddenly felt a little flustered, but still stubbornly said, "What, what do you want? What do you dare to do?"
Chen Xu didn't dare do anything; at most, he could only scare her. But Gao Xiaojie, having nothing better to do, started egging her on, saying, "Oh dear, Chen Xu, she looks down on you! Um, I don't know what your temper is like, but if this happened to me, I couldn't stand it! Let me make this clear, I'm not trying to cause trouble, I really am not trying to cause trouble! Chen Xu, if you don't react, you're not a man!"... Guan Yi pinched her hard in anger.
What kind of reaction could Chen Xu have now? He couldn't possibly actually kiss Guan Yi, could he? Although he really wanted to.
Actually, blankets are quite interesting. Everyone knows that the main function of a blanket is to keep warm; it doesn't provide heat itself. While keeping warm, it also traps a person's body odor. That's why many men's blankets smell bad – from sweat. Women are generally cleaner, sweat less, and have a naturally pleasant scent, so when covered by a blanket, their fragrance is even more pronounced.
Chen Xu and Guan Yi were now practically face to face, their breaths mingling on each other's skin. Lying there, Chen Xu could clearly smell the strong, musky fragrance emanating from her blankets—a fragrance that was neither quite musk nor quite orchid. Scientists have proven that a woman's natural body odor, like that of many animals, is very attractive to the opposite sex. So Chen Xu was momentarily captivated, his breathing becoming heavier.
His breathing quickened, and Guan Yi was the first to react. The woman realized they'd gone a bit too far, so she weakly pulled her hand back, saying, "Alright, alright, go to sleep, I'm not playing with you anymore!"
Chen Xu was overjoyed to hear the woman back down. Now that he had the upper hand, he wanted to press his advantage. So he said smugly, "Really not going to play anymore? You won't be teasing me again later, will you?"
"No, no!" Guan Yi hurriedly pulled her hand back. "Go to sleep!"
Chen Xu chuckled smugly, while Gao Xiaojie yelled, "Hey, hey, you can't do this! Guan Yi, you said you were going to make him feel like he's in heaven tonight. So hurry up... go!"
Gao Xiaojie gave another forceful push, shoving Guan Yi towards him.
However, the two were so close together that when Gao Xiaojie pushed, Guan Yi's head jutted forward, and since Guan Yi and Chen Xu were very close, the push immediately brought them together.
To be precise, their lips touched perfectly...
Chapter 118 Room Design Master
Chen Xu didn't know if women ever thought about these things, but as a virgin, and one who had watched porn for over five years, Chen Xu could say with certainty that he really wanted women. He dreamed about what his first kiss would feel like, and even what it would feel like to do *that* kind of thing.
There's nothing shameful about it. Sex education in China has always been viewed as taboo, and young people, especially those in their formative years, are often kept quiet about it by parents and teachers. In reality, being attracted to young women is human nature. Nowadays, not only in pornographic films, but even on regular television, kissing, hugging, and even more passionate scenes are commonplace. It's just that different directors have different artistic perspectives; Ang Lee's films are considered art films, while those made by ordinary directors are considered Category III films.
These days, any webpage you open is filled with explicit and violent content. The restless hearts of young people, especially when spring arrives, yearn to meow like cats. Those with better self-control at most rush to sleep at night, hoping to dream of lovemaking, fantasizing about scenes from pornographic films, only to wake up the next day to find white spots on their underwear and have to change. Those with less self-control, however, resort to self-reliance, resulting in calluses on their hands after four years—a pitiful sight indeed.
These things all illustrate one point: the boys of yesteryear are gradually developing into men, and their reasons for wanting to date have changed from the pure desire to simply walk to and from school with girls to now wanting to explore the mysterious body of the opposite sex, to experience the legendary sensation of kissing, and even more.
Chen Xu kept thinking about who his first kiss would be, where it would happen, for what reason, and under what circumstances.
To say he hadn't thought about Guan Yi would be utter nonsense. He simply never imagined that while his first kiss had indeed happened on Guan Yi's cherry lips, it would end up like this.
The moment their lips touched, both of them were stunned, their minds going blank. Chen Xu could feel the soft, moist texture of Guan Yi's lips, which had a sweet taste, while Guan Yi could feel the masculine breath emanating from Guan Yi's mouth.
Three seconds later, Guan Yi quickly exclaimed "Ah!" and turned his head away.
The moment their lips parted, Chen Xu was momentarily stunned. Was this what kissing felt like? Damn it! Wait a minute! Chen Xu suddenly realized that in the movies, kissing always involved using the tongue, and he hadn't even had a chance to use his tongue yet!
Guan Yi buried her head completely in the blanket. Although she felt suffocated, she couldn't stop thinking about the feeling from just now. Oh my god! She actually kissed him?
Like Chen Xu, this was Guan Yi's first kiss. Despite being only a freshman in college, this woman dared to wear low-cut clothes. In reality, she had almost no intimate relationships with men throughout her life. Only Chen Xu. The fact that he could remain composed after such an ambiguous relationship with her made Guan Yi think Chen Xu was a very good person.
Although this era has always emphasized that women love bad boys, the way a man is "bad" is expressed is not literally what it sounds like.
Few women like a man who is flawed in every way. A man's badness is mainly manifested in his lack of initiative in romantic relationships, and Chen Xu certainly excelled in this aspect. However, in other areas, such as Chen Xu's personality, his methods of dealing with people, and his principles, Guan Yi greatly admired him. How to put it? He appeared pure, but harbored a slight lewdness deep down. He wasn't the kind of person who was indiscriminately kind, but he had basic principles of conduct.
Undeniably, Chen Xu's qualities were enough to make Guan Yi somewhat attracted, but that was all. Guan Yi was actually a little nervous about sleeping together, but it was manageable through the blanket. However, the sudden kiss was completely unexpected.
After all, a first kiss is very sacred, and for a girl, the first time is often the most unforgettable. Guan Yi had always fantasized that her first kiss would begin with some beast riding a white horse in a very romantic atmosphere, but she never expected it to be because of such an accident.
The thought of her fantasies bursting like soap bubbles made Guan Yi want to cry. Just then, Gao Xiaojie, noticing the silence, obliviously asked, "Hey, what are you two doing? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Hearing this, Guan Yi really wanted to slap her a few times. If it weren't for this girl causing trouble, how could he have given away his most precious first kiss like that?
Chen Xu finally realized what was happening, coughed, and said, "Never mind, it's getting late, time to sleep."
An unusual silence fell over the room. Chen Xu, hearing Guan Yi's silence, wanted to ask if she was angry and apologize, but he didn't know why he should apologize... To be shameless, Chen Xu hadn't moved, and Guan Yi had come up to him on her own. By any measure, Guan Yi had taken the initiative to kiss him... Of course, Chen Xu would never dare to say what came after that.
Time flowed by quietly. Chen Xu, feeling Guan Yi's breath beside him and recalling the earlier sensations, grew increasingly heavy-eyed and eventually drifted off to sleep. Listening to Chen Xu's gradually calming and deepening breathing, Guan Yi cursed the heartless man in his heart, and eventually, he too succumbed to sleep…
When Chen Xu woke up the next morning, he found the blankets next to him empty, and the faint sounds of the two women laughing and joking could be heard outside the door. Chen Xu dressed and sleepily walked out the door. Gao Xiaojie immediately laughed, "Haha, this pig's awake? It's amazing you! There's a beautiful woman right next to you, and you can still sleep so soundly?"
Chen Xu ignored her and looked at Guan Yi. He remembered that he seemed to have kissed her last night, but seeing this woman smiling at him as usual, Chen Xu wondered if he was mistaken. So, while Gao Xiaojie was busy in the restroom, Chen Xu secretly moved closer to Guan Yi and said, "Hey, beautiful, last night..."
"Don't mention it!" A blush flashed across Guan Yi's face quickly: "You slept very soundly last night, you fell asleep as soon as you got into bed, and nothing happened."
Hearing Guan Yi say that, Chen Xu chuckled awkwardly. Now he was certain that something had definitely happened last night. But what could he say? "Baby, last night's kiss was too quick, and we didn't even use our tongues. How about we relive it today?"
Chen Xu didn't want to die young!
Just then, the doorbell rang. Chen Xu was puzzled as to who would be knocking so early in the morning. When he opened the door, he saw Tang Bixuan carrying several bags of various sizes, looking at him with an embarrassed expression.
"Ah, thank goodness you're awake." Tang Bixuan said somewhat shyly, her face flushed. "Heh. I was worried I'd come too early and you wouldn't be up yet."
Chen Xu quickly helped her bring her bag inside. At this moment, Guan Yi and Gao Xiaojie also came out. Gao Xiaojie pulled Tang Bixuan into the house and said with a smile, "How could that be? We woke up a long time ago. By the way, Bixuan, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Come and eat with us. I made a cake. It's just that this lazy pig. It's already 9:30 and she's only just gotten up."
Chen Xu scratched his head and chuckled as he slipped into the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. Just as he entered, Gao Xiaojie burst in with a shout, then ran out carrying a basin full of clothes. Immediately afterward, Guan Yi's laughter echoed from outside. Chen Xu glanced over. Uh, white ribbons. So this girl was washing her underwear.
Seeing the underwear reminded Chen Xu of Gao Xiaojie sneaking onto the balcony every night with a pile of clothes. But somehow, she never escaped his notice when she was hanging them out to dry. The funniest thing was the hangers used to hold the underwear; Chen Xu used the large size, while Gao Xiaojie used the very small size… Chen Xu secretly glanced at them and couldn't help but think that the underwear was ridiculously small. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to wear them? But then he thought about how women are missing something compared to men. Underwear a size smaller shouldn't be considered normal. Unlike men, who stuff that thing inside their underwear. Small sizes are bound to cause erectile dysfunction…
After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Chen Xu saw Guan Yi and Gao Xiaojie dressed and eating cake. Chen Xu reached over, picked up two pieces, tasted them, and praised, "Gao Xiaojie's cake-making skills are getting better and better."
Gao Xiaojie snorted smugly and said, "You guys don't know, Jingjing's cakes are the best. On my birthday, she went to the cake shop and made me a birthday cake specially. Oh my, it tasted so good!"
Speaking of Zhan Jing, Chen Xu thought of last night. The first person he thought of was that girl. Chen Xu's heart skipped a beat, and then he buried his head in eating cake.
