Chapter 5 - Just a Kiss… or Maybe More?

That morning, Lin Xian woke up with a strange weight on his chest. As his eyes slowly opened, he felt something warm and soft pressing against his body.

Looking down, he was startled to find Liu Yanyan sleeping soundly with her head resting against his chest. Her lips were slightly parted, and a tiny drop of drool had slid down her cheek.

The corner of Lin Xian's mouth twitched.

"Why does it feel like I'm raising a spoiled cat… but more dangerous?" he thought.

He slightly regretted agreeing to her request to sleep together just because she was scared. Not that he didn't want to say no, but at that time, Liu Yanyan's teary eyes had completely disarmed him.

Though the situation was awkward, Lin Xian tried to stay calm.

This is… a bit strange, but also—he couldn't deny it—his heart was racing.

Honestly, Liu Yanyan was stunningly beautiful.

Too beautiful for someone like him.

Her peaceful face, her soft skin brushing against him, her scent—warm, sweet, and utterly disarming—tested his willpower.

If he weren't the kind of man who knew how to restrain himself, he might've already devoured her like a starving wolf.

Carefully, he tried to move her hand away and shift his body. But as he slowly slid to escape, Liu Yanyan unconsciously pulled him tighter in her sleep.

Her body pressed completely against him, and her leg shifted—brushing against a very sensitive part of him.

"S-Stop...! That's not somewhere you should be touching…" he gasped inwardly.

A heat surged in his lower body. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her sleeping face with a mix of helplessness and disbelief. With a resigned sigh, he poked her soft cheek with a finger.

"Poke… poke…"

Liu Yanyan frowned and slowly opened her eyes, drowsily looking up.

And there he was, right in front of her—his face just centimeters away.

She could feel his warm breath on her skin.

Her face turned red like a ripe tomato.

"She's… beautiful," Lin Xian thought. Without warning, he leaned in and kissed her cherry lips.

Liu Yanyan stiffened, her eyes wide. She tried pushing against his chest, but her hands lacked strength—it felt more like she was hesitating rather than resisting.

Lin Xian, once a lonely bachelor, had always been a little obsessed with the idea of a kiss.

And when he saw her not resisting, he grew bolder.

He gently pushed her lips open with his tongue. Liu Yanyan, naïve and shy, didn't resist and let him in. Their tongues met—entwining, exploring, melting into each other.

After a few breathless moments, they finally parted, gasping for air.

It was Lin Xian's first kiss, and he couldn't hide his joy. Meanwhile, Liu Yanyan buried her flushed face in his chest.

Strangely, she wasn't angry at all. Instead… there was only embarrassment—and anticipation.

---

Ten minutes passed, and Liu Yanyan still hadn't moved. She clung tightly to Lin Xian, refusing to let go.

Lin Xian didn't complain. Instead, his hand slowly traced down her smooth back, slipping lower… until it reached her soft, round bottom.

He gave it a firm squeeze.

Liu Yanyan gasped and immediately looked up, her cheeks red with a mix of shock and embarrassment. She glared at him and pinched his arm.

"Pervert! You jerk! I can't believe I misjudged you!"

Lin Xian flinched, pulled his hand away, and turned his back to her under the blanket like a child being scolded.

"S-Sorry… I just got carried away," he murmured, his voice low and filled with guilt.

Seeing him like that, Liu Yanyan felt her heart ache. A wave of guilt washed over her. Had she hurt his feelings? Would this ruin their relationship?

Quietly, she moved closer and hugged him from behind.

Her ample chest pressed against his back, and she began to softly rub against him.

Lin Xian's body stiffened.

"I'm sorry… for saying those mean things," she whispered gently near his ear.

"Please forgive me, okay…?"

He didn't respond.

Liu Yanyan bit her lip, then whispered again in a sweet, pleading tone,

"I'll do anything… as long as you forgive me…"

Lin Xian turned to look at her with narrowed eyes.

"Anything…?" he asked softly.

Liu Yanyan nodded shyly, her face glowing red.

A sly smile spread across Lin Xian's face.

—And what happened next… was something only adults are allowed to do.

Author note :

First of all, thank you so much for reading and sticking with the story this far. Honestly, I want to apologize if some of you felt a little disappointed. I originally planned to make Lin Xian and Liu Yanyan's moment a bit more spicy and explicit... but after thinking it over—especially considering platform policies and reader comfort—I decided to pull back a bit.

It's not that I want to tease or leave you hanging, really! But I also don't want the story to get flagged or lose its flow just to satisfy one aspect too early.

Don't worry, the romance and tension will definitely keep building—and I promise, the sweet (and maybe hotter) moments will come at the right time.

Thanks so much for your patience and continued support! You're the reason this story keeps going.
