Chapter 549 - 537: No Problem!
Dorm 708.
When he returned after having been gone all night, Zhu Houqing and Wang Dalu immediately freaked out as if they had seen a ghost.
"Holy shit! Old Four, where the hell did you go? We all went to bed at the same time last night, and you were gone first thing this morning! Were you sleepwalking?" Zhu Houqing roared as he leaped from his bed.
"Get lost, who went to bed with you? Have some shame!" Qin Fan chuckled irritably as he made up an excuse. "I got a call in the middle of the night, so I had to step out. When I came back, I didn’t want to disturb you guys, so I just slept outside!"
"I’m telling you, old man, can’t you just settle down for once? If you were worried about waking us, you could’ve at least sent a text so we could rest easy! Hey, speaking of which, you’re always so elusive. I’m starting to think you’re busier than the president!" By the end of his sentence, Zhu Houqing was looking at Qin Fan with a curious expression.
The more time passed, the more mysterious Qin Fan seemed to him. A freshman busier than the president? And he just vanishes into thin air all the time. What on earth is he up to? He got into the university with a perfect score, but he’s spent less than five hours in a classroom, all told! What kind of freshman is that? Who is this badass?
"Can’t be helped! The more capable you are, the more work you have to do. It would be a total waste for someone as awesome as me to sit around swatting flies all day, wouldn’t it? Haha!" Qin Fan laughed with a roguish air.
"So you’re saying, Old Four, this whole elusive act is just to show off?"
Wang Dalu knew Qin Fan was no simple character and that there were some things they weren’t yet privy to. Being highly emotionally intelligent, he immediately offered Qin Fan a graceful way out.
"Old Three, could you put it a bit more subtly? Am I supposed to agree with that or deny it?" Qin Fan laughed, then added, "I’m going to take a shower. I feel all sticky and gross. Oh, and grab me some breakfast when you go out, will ya?"
With that, Qin Fan walked into the bathroom.
"Damn it, why didn’t you buy some on your way back?! Shit, Old Three, let’s go!"
Cursing toward the bathroom, Zhu Houqing dragged a reluctant Wang Dalu out the door.
Although Qin Fan was ranked fourth among them in the dorm, in the hearts of these brutes, he was undeniably their leader. But it was true; though they never said it out loud, they had long been won over by his charisma and actions. For them, getting to know Qin Fan was a blessing of three lifetimes.
「In the bathroom.」
The sound of a WeChat video call suddenly rang out.
Qin Fan, who was in the middle of his shower, paused for a moment. Then, a wicked grin spread across his face.
Who else but Yino would video call him this early in the morning?
With a chuckle, he grabbed a towel and dried his hands. He quickly walked to the clothes rack to grab the phone he’d forgotten to take out of his pants earlier. Without a second thought, he answered the call.
"Hello! Sister Yino!"
「Girls’ Dorm 306.」
The moment the video connected, Jiang Yino was taken aback.
"Qin Fan, are you taking a shower?"
Sister Yino wasn’t blind. She could clearly see the showerhead still spraying water behind him.
"Yeah, is there a problem?" Qin Fan grinned.
"You idiot! Why would you answer while you’re in the shower?!" Jiang Yino said, her face flushing at the sight of Qin Fan’s bare upper body.
"I had to answer. I didn’t want you to worry," Qin Fan replied with a tender smile.
"Pfft! Who’s worried about you! Anyway, just make sure the water is hot this early in the morning, so you don’t catch a cold!" Though she claimed not to be worried, her concern betrayed her.
That’s women for you. That was Jiang Yino. That was the Jiang Yino who had fallen in love.
"Weren’t you just saying you weren’t worried about me?" Qin Fan asked, a joyful smile spreading across his face.
"I—I—I’m just afraid you might catch a cold and get me sick!" Jiang Yino retorted stubbornly, refusing to surrender to him.
Knowing her personality all too well, Qin Fan smiled sincerely. Then he said with deep affection, "Relax, I won’t catch a cold. Hot or cold water, it doesn’t matter. Your concern alone is enough to warm me up!"
"Sweet-talker!"
"It’s from the bottom of my heart!"
"Tell me, how many other girls have you said that to?"
"Only you!"
"Liar! With how smooth you are, you’re clearly an old pro who’s been through a garden of flowers!"
"Heaven and earth can be my witness, the sun and moon my testament! If a single word I’ve said is a lie, may I be struck by—"
As if she knew what he was about to say, Jiang Yino didn’t let him finish. On the screen, she immediately cut him off. "Shut up! Don’t say it. I believe you! I believe you, alright?!"
"You shouldn’t have doubted me," Qin Fan said, putting on a stern face.
Yet, seeing his stern expression, Jiang Yino inexplicably panicked. Such was the pure heart of a young woman experiencing her first love, deeply immersed in its beautiful romance. Though only slightly older than Qin Fan, she heard his words and hurried to explain, "I didn’t! I know you’re a good person. I was just teasing you! If I really doubted you, why would I have... done that with you—"
She stopped, unable to bring herself to say the words. But her coyness only fanned the flames of Qin Fan’s desire to tease her.
"Done what? What did you do with me?"
"I’m not saying!" Jiang Yino’s face grew even redder.
"Say it!"
"No!"
"Come on, it was just a kiss. What’s so embarrassing about that?"
"Oh? What else are you planning? Want to eat me up?"
As she said the words "eat me up," Jiang Yino’s heart suddenly began to race, and her lovely face became even more radiant. Her mind uncontrollably replayed the dirty, no-holds-barred conversation she’d had with Du Ruanqing and Ou Mingsi in the dorm last night. As innocent as she was, she still understood what it meant.
"I’ll eat you when you want me to. Yino, I promise I will never force you to do anything. That goes for everything—now, and forever," Qin Fan said, his playful grin fading. He smiled gently first, then spoke with complete seriousness.
Indeed, those words came from the bottom of his heart. Ever since he’d returned to this life, he had never once thought about rushing into a physical relationship with Jiang Yino. For this woman, whom he would love with his very life, that love had long ago transformed into a deep, familial affection, the kind shared between a husband and wife, ingrained in his very bones. In his past life, every inch of Yino’s body had been marked by him, so why would he be in a hurry this time around? Not a chance! He just wanted to savor the happiness of this journey of love all over again. As for doing the deed, he wasn’t rushed, nor would he ever force it. He knew that the day would eventually come when she would lose her virginity once more.
"Aren’t you just putting pressure on yourself? Saying you won’t force anything... the future is a long road, who knows what will happen! Besides, even if you tried, you couldn’t force me. You must have forgotten who I am! Hmph, Sister Yino!"
Even with all her reason, even with her theoretical understanding of love that surpassed her peers, Jiang Yino couldn’t stop her heart from fluttering with joy at that moment. No woman dislikes hearing sweet nothings and promises. This was especially true for Sister Yino, who had just fallen into the beautiful bliss of her first love.
"You’re right, you’re right. My Sister Yino is the most amazing! I, Qin Fan, am destined only to be conquered by you in this life. Anything wrong with that?" Qin Fan teased with a lighthearted laugh.
"Nope! Double-tap 666 for you!"
"Haha! By the way, Yino, I heard Aunt Flo is visiting. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
