The little person in Yu Shu’s heart was gloomily drawing circles in the corner of the wall: With this, Xiao Xiao would definitely think he was a sloppy king who didn’t love cleanliness.

His perfect image in Xiao Xiao’s heart was gone forever.

Yan Jin looked at Yu Shu’s face that alternated between green and white, and secretly thought, did this matter really bring such a big impact to Yuan Yuan?

Yuan Yuan’s body was even shaking slightly.

What did he think of?

Yan Jin couldn’t hold back her inner curiosity, so she asked.

“Can you accompany me tomorrow?” Yu Shu said in a small voice, “Because I didn’t take a shower before bed.”

Yan Jin “oh”-ed, “Did you take a shower at night?”

“Of course I did!” Yu Shu: “I take a shower every day and am very clean!”

“Then why are you tangled up about not taking a shower before bed?” Yan Jin didn’t understand, “I thought you took two showers a day.”

Yu Shu retorted righteously, “Isn’t it because you said you wanted to sleep with me.”

“Then I’ll sleep with you, just take off your shoes.” Yan Jin: “You took a shower at night, why go through the trouble again?”

“Xiao Xiao, it’s the first time you coaxed me to sleep, so I have to prepare carefully.” Yu Shu mumbled, “Taking a shower before bed, how is that going through the trouble? What if you mind that I have a bad smell on me?”

Yan Jin raised her head and sniffed Yu Shu’s neck, exaggerating: “Our family’s Yuan Yuan smells fragrant all over. Where is there any bad smell.”

Although it was to coax Yu Shu, what Yan Jin said was not a lie.

Yu Shu, who paid attention to his personal image, not only did not have the sweat odor of other men, but instead had a faint fragrance of soap, which smelled refreshing and pleasant.

Yu Shu was half-believing and half-doubting. After being led to bed by Yan Jin, he was still uneasy and gave her a preemptive warning, “It’s not that I don’t want to take a shower, it’s Xiao Xiao who won’t let me. Later, don’t complain that I stink.”

At first, Yan Jin didn’t understand why Yu Shu cared so much about whether he had any odor on his body.

But when her eyes met Yu Shu, who was hugging the pillow, and saw his apprehensive gaze, Yan Jin suddenly got it.

A gentleman dies for his bosom friend, a man tolerates for his pleaser.

Because Yuan Yuan liked her, he hoped to present his most perfect side in front of her.

After getting into the quilt, Yan Jin smelled the pleasant faint fragrance from Yu Shu beside her and fell into deep thought.

Courtesy demands reciprocity. Should she also tidy herself up a bit usually?

But this thought disappeared without a trace when Yu Shu’s fingers rubbed against the back of her hand.

Forget it.

Since Yuan Yuan didn’t make any demands on her, he shouldn’t add another layer of restraint to himself.

Originally, Yan Jin thought that Yu Shu touching her with his fingers was a little intimacy between them.

Who knew that after a while, Yu Shu was still using his fingertips to touch the back of her hand like a dragonfly skimming the water, with no intention of going further.

Yan Jin couldn’t help it, “Yuan Yuan, if you want to hold hands, just do it. You don’t need to test the waters like this.”

Sigh, Yuan Yuan was already an adult, yet he still loved playing this kind of childish game of you touch me, I touch you.

“I don’t want to hold your hand.” Yu Shu said in a small voice, “I want to hug you.”

Yan Jin: “Then hug me.”

Yu Shu was silent for a moment, then said softly, “But I don’t dare.”

“Why don’t you dare?” Yan Jin didn’t understand, “We are lovers now, hugging is very normal.”

Yu Shu continued in a low voice, “I’m afraid I’ll do something bad to you.”

Yan Jin: “…”

Yu Shu, who could get embarrassed enough to dig a hole in the ground when sharing a bed, was actually afraid of doing something bad?

Yan Jin sighed inwardly.

When would Yuan Yuan’s courage be as big as his words?

“Let’s just go to sleep.” Yan Jin tucked Yu Shu in, pulling away the distance between them, but the latter noticed and grabbed her wrist.

Yu Shu: “Xiao Xiao, don’t be so far away from me.”

“Huh?” Yan Jin: “Didn’t you say you were afraid of doing something bad? If I stay away from you, you won’t have to worry about doing something bad.”

“I’m afraid of doing something bad, but I didn’t say I won’t let Xiao Xiao do something bad to me.” Yu Shu paused, placed Yan Jin’s hand on his stomach, and said in a boastful tone, “Eight-pack abs, feel free to touch!”

Yan Jin: “…So can I do whatever I want with you?”

Yu Shu hesitated for a while, then whispered in Yan Jin’s ear, “Can you give me some more time to mentally prepare myself?”

“I’m in terrible shape right now, and I haven’t taken care of my skin or exercised. I’m afraid you won’t be satisfied with me when the time comes, Xiao Xiao.”

Yan Jin originally wanted to blurt out, “Just wash yourself clean and it’ll be fine,” but after hearing Yuan Yuan’s concerns, she was grateful that she didn’t speak too quickly.

Yuan Yuan placed so much importance on their first time. If she let slip that she didn’t care, Yuan Yuan would definitely think that she didn’t like him and therefore didn’t take it to heart.

“It’s okay.” Yan Jin, who had figured it out, spoke in an even gentler tone than before, “I’ll wait for you to be mentally prepared. I’m not in a hurry.”

Although Yan Jin was occasionally quite impatient, thinking about how long Yu Shu had been holding it in, the effect would definitely be good when the time came. She forcefully suppressed her fantasies back into the depths of her mind.

That was what Yan Jin thought, but Yu Shu didn’t know. He thought Yan Jin was truly considerate of him, “Xiao Xiao, you have to hold my hand while sleeping.”

In the end, Yu Shu took a mile when given an inch and made an excessive request, “And it has to be with interlocked fingers.”

Although Yan Jin really wanted to say, “Interlocking fingers all night, won’t our fingers be numb when we wake up in the morning?” But thinking about how late it was now, if she said that, she wouldn’t be able to sleep at all and would have to spend the whole time coaxing Yuan Yuan.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have gotten together with Yuan Yuan so quickly.

That way, when Yuan Yuan was unhappy, she could still pretend she didn’t know and wouldn’t have to coax him.

“Sister.” Yu Shu rubbed Yan Jin’s nose and said softly, “I want to hold your hand while sleeping.”

Yan Jin, who had countless times in her heart complained about herself being blinded by lust, saw Yu Shu’s face that was so beautiful it made people want to do bad things to him. All her complaints vanished.

“Mm.” Yan Jin said steadily, “Hold it then.”

She didn’t want to be blinded by lust, but Yuan Yuan called her sister.
