Yu Shu lowered his head to look at the fair and soft hand held in his palm, and the smile at the corner of his lips deepened.

In fact, his real thought was that he wanted to kiss Yan Jin, but Yan Jin wouldn’t let him do that at this time, so he chose the second thing he wanted to do to her.

Sure enough, Yan Jin’s heart softened, and he successfully got to hold her hand.

Yan Jin rested her chin in her hand, smiling meaningfully.

The boy was just so pure. She had originally thought Yu Shu would boldly admit he wanted to kiss her. She didn’t expect him to still be shy in the end.

Otherwise, she could have gotten a kiss from him.

Kissing was something Yu Shu actively proposed, so she wouldn’t have been held responsible even after kissing him.

What a pity.

[Yu Shu’s gaze is so captivating. I didn’t expect this innocent-looking guy to actually be a hidden bad boy. Ah, this is my type. I’m dead!] [Compared to Yu Shu, I think Yan Jin’s gaze is also worth savoring.] [I was misled by Yu Shu before into thinking Yan Jin was a blockhead. But although she hasn’t done anything now, that gaze… tsk tsk. I suspect she’s going to devour Yu Shu in the next second.]

Yan Jin did indeed want to “devour” Yu Shu.

Before she transmigrated, she had been single for a while. Since coming here, it had been a long time since she’d had any action. With someone like Yu Shu, who fit her taste from head to toe, by her side, Yan Jin felt that her ability to hold back until now made her a reincarnation of Liuxia Hui.

But the rule of “don’t shit where you eat” still firmly restrained Yan Jin, preventing her from losing her mind in a fit of passion.

However, after suppressing it for so long, Yan Jin’s desire that had managed to slip out couldn’t be retracted as usual. She even made direct eye contact with Yu Shu as he raised his head.

The moment their eyes met, even someone as thick-skinned as Yan Jin felt a bit awkward for a while.

“Yan Jin.” Yu Shu looked at her, slowly curving his eyes into a smile. “What were you thinking just now?”

Yan Jin answered honestly, “Thinking of doing bad things to you.”

“You want to bully me again.” Yu Shu couldn’t hold back the increasingly strong smile at the corner of his lips.

“I once said in my heart that anyone hitting on you, Yu Shu, right after you came of age must be sick.” Yan Jin paused before continuing, “My rational mind tells me to nip it in the bud, but emotionally, I can’t control myself.”

“So you want to take advantage of me, Yan Jin?” Yu Shu blinked, his voice gentle. “You have improper thoughts about me, harboring ulterior motives?”

“I do have ulterior motives towards you, but it’s normal,” Yan Jin candidly analyzed her own heart. “Because this is an instinct driven by hormones, not an impulse driven by my emotions.”

With such a young, handsome boy who had a nice voice, Yan Jin felt it was normal for her to have ulterior motives.

“Then do you want to give it a try?” Yu Shu’s voice became even softer, as if it had many tiny hooks, wanting to lure Yan Jin into his trap. “Just like you said, only by trying will you know if it’s instinct or emotion.”

[This development is completely unexpected. I thought Yan Jin would take the lead, but I didn’t expect it to be Yu Shu.] [Did you miss something earlier? They aren’t at the stage where Yu Shu is taking the lead. Right now, it’s just probing. The main event hasn’t started yet.] [I’m watching this with my parents, but I think it’s more appropriate to retreat to my room with this development. Otherwise, I’m afraid Yu Shu might suddenly take off his clothes.]

Yu Shu’s invitation was indeed very tempting for Yan Jin. But she realized that if she couldn’t go all the way with Yu Shu, they wouldn’t even be able to remain friends.

There were countless pretty boys, but only one fellow townsman.

Yan Jin silently recited this sentence several times in her heart, quickly calming her emotions. She immediately changed the subject, “I met Bai Zhi at a brothel.”

Yan Jin was very self-aware, knowing that if she continued talking to Yu Shu in this atmosphere, things would really get out of hand.

So Yan Jin simply brought up the forgotten Bai Zhi to divert Yu Shu’s attention.

Yu Shu, who had taken the initiative to hint at Yan Jin, actually felt quite pressured because he had never done this kind of thing before.

But Yan Jin was really beating around the bush too much. If he didn’t give her a strong dose, maybe the country would be unified before Yan Jin dared to admit her true feelings.

So Yu Shu suppressed his shyness and boldly hinted at Yan Jin, imitating the online novels he had read.

Regardless of whether Yan Jin accepted his request in the end, at least his attitude had been conveyed. Yan Jin would know that he liked her.

Yu Shu was so embarrassed by his bold invitation that his hands hidden under the blanket nearly wrinkled the sheets. But what he got in return was Yan Jin’s “confession.”

“What did you say?” One second ago, Yu Shu was still shy and flustered, feeling the sweetness in his heart with every breath. The next second, he felt like his heart had fallen into an icy abyss, as if it were being roasted on a fire, tormented and uncomfortable.

“You met him at a brothel?!” Yu Shu immediately glared at Yan Jin angrily. “Well, well, I was wondering why you two had such an odd attitude towards each other. So you have that kind of relationship!”

Yu Shu almost blurted out the word “prostitute’s client,” but the words got caught in his throat, and he hastily swallowed them back.

No matter what, Yu Shu was still unwilling to use such an unpleasant word to describe Yan Jin.

It was all Bai Zhi’s fault. If it weren’t for him, how could Yan Jin do such a thing?

Yan Jin was just a blockhead. She must have gone out of curiosity, not for that kind of reason.

Although Yu Shu comforted himself this way in his heart, the ambiguous word “brothel” still made him uncomfortable.

Since coming to An Country, the only person involved in Yan Jin’s scandals had been him alone. Out of nowhere, another man had appeared. The more Yu Shu thought about it, the more unhappy he felt.

What gave Bai Zhi the right?

His face wasn’t as good-looking as his, his figure wasn’t as good, and he wasn’t as young either. Yan Jin’s eyes must have been bad at the time, so she picked him!

Seeing Yu Shu’s face alternating between green and white, Yan Jin could tell he was angry, so she explained, “I told you last time that I only went to the brothel to watch people sing and dance. And when I picked Bai Zhi, it was only to listen to him sing a song.”

With Yan Jin saying this, Yu Shu also recalled what Yan Jin had told him when she returned from the brothel.

But even though he knew, Yu Shu still felt a little down. “Then between him and me, who sings better?”
