The first date of the two went through some bumps at the beginning, but fortunately, the process and ending were good. When they parted ways and went home, both of them were in a good mood, clearly satisfied with the date.

Yan Mo had things to do in the afternoon, so after they had lunch together, they separated.

After spending the whole morning together, Yan Mo had already figured out his girlfriend’s personality and preferences. She was just as cute as he had imagined.

Before they parted ways, Yan Mo specifically asked for a picture of Shu Xin and picked one to use as his phone wallpaper.

Seeing how serious and proactive Yan Mo was, Shu Xin felt she couldn’t fall behind. Yan Mo didn’t like to take selfies, but Shu Xin thought that wasn’t an issue. She quickly took three shots of him with her phone.

Yan Mo looked perfect from any angle, and Shu Xin couldn’t bear to pick just one. She combined the three into one photo.

Only children make choices, so of course, she wanted them all!

When it came to her boyfriend—and future “golden leg”—she knew she had to do her best to please him. Giving him small surprises and gifts was necessary to quickly warm up the relationship.

In terms of relationships, Shu Xin was completely a newbie. This was her first love, and she was only half-knowledgeable about giving gifts to her boyfriend.

With school starting in three days, she, as a first-year, had a heavy course load. Yan Mo was already in his third year, and once school began, their time together would definitely decrease.

Thinking about how many girls at school admired Yan Mo, Shu Xin felt it was necessary to make her “claim” on him known.

Their relationship was still new, not yet solidified, so in case some little “vixen” took advantage of the opening, she had to act fast.

She asked her dear boyfriend for his clothing size and had no objection to them wearing couple outfits. She immediately headed to the mall.

Knowing that his cute little girlfriend was going shopping, Yan Mo transferred 50,000 yuan to her account.

When Shu Xin received it without hesitation, and sent a big kiss in reply, Yan Mo felt very pleased.

The feeling of giving his girlfriend pocket money was unexpectedly good. If only the kiss were real, that would be even better.

Bu Xiangwen, who was sitting next to Yan Mo, talking business, couldn’t help but tremble when he saw the usually unchanging smile on his friend’s face. It was a smile he knew well, far too well. It was one that always meant someone was in trouble.

He shuddered, wondering who the unlucky person was this time, feeling a little… intrigued.

Meanwhile, Shu Xin was happily shopping, undisturbed!

Bu Xiangwen accidentally glanced at Yan Mo’s phone screen, which had not gone to sleep. His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at his friend.

With a trembling hand, he pointed at the glowing screen. “Wha—What’s that? There’s a girl on your phone?!”

“My girlfriend,” Yan Mo replied nonchalantly, barely glancing at Bu Xiangwen, not caring at all how ridiculous his answer might sound to his friend.

To Bu Xiangwen, hearing that Yan Mo had a girlfriend felt like someone had just told him tomorrow was the end of the world.

After a long moment, Bu Xiangwen managed to reboot his brain and said, “I remember last night at the cocktail party, your phone screen was normal. Just overnight, and now you have a girlfriend?”

“Wait, you didn’t do anything illegal last night, did you? Or did some demon or ghost possess you?”

Bu Xiangwen’s imagination seemed to run wild as he asked, his voice cracking.

“With that imagination, you’re wasting your talent in the economics department. You should be writing novels,” Yan Mo said, unfazed, causing Bu Xiangwen to relax slightly.

“Ah, this is the familiar routine,” Bu Xiangwen muttered, before adding, “But I bet this girl was probably tricked by your looks. If she knew what you were really like, I wonder if she’d regret it.”

“She doesn’t have a chance to regret it.”

Yan Mo’s tone remained calm, but the underlying possessiveness was clear. Anyone who truly knew him would recognize it. Yan Mo was a man who had absolute control and possessiveness over anything or anyone he cared about.

Though it might sound juvenile, it was the truth.

He could only hope that the girl who willingly walked into his life would be able to accept his true nature. Otherwise, the consequences wouldn’t be something she could handle.

Meanwhile, Shu Xin, upon receiving the transfer from Yan Mo, felt even happier.

She had once seen a video that said, “A man who is willing to spend money on you doesn’t necessarily love you, but a man who refuses to spend money on you certainly doesn’t love you.”

Shu Xin thought that statement was very accurate. If a man wouldn’t even spend money on you, what could you expect from him? Would you expect him to share his food with you?

Moreover, by transferring the money, Yan Mo was effectively supporting her purchase of couple outfits. Of course, she was happy about that.

She spent the entire afternoon shopping, fully displaying her shopping prowess as a girl. Not only did she buy couple outfits, but also matching shoes and watches. She was determined to fully “arm” Yan Mo from head to toe, so everyone could see that he was already taken.

In A University, to avoid crowding, the four year groups were scheduled to attend classes on different days. But if someone wanted to arrive early, the school wouldn’t mind.

Since Shu Xin was still a first-year, the school required freshmen to live on campus, though she could go home on weekends. Yan Mo, being a third-year, was exempt from the restriction.

On the eve of the new semester, Shu Xin sat next to Yan Mo and asked if he could wear the couple outfits she bought to take her to school.

Yan Mo was reading a book and didn’t look up. He didn’t say anything.

“Ah~ My dear boyfriend, you’re the best! Just say yes, please~”

Shu Xin hugged his arm and shook it, looking determined not to give up until she got her way.

Yan Mo placed the book on the coffee table and took off his gold-rimmed glasses. His eyes, which had been hidden behind the glasses, were now fully visible—eyes filled with both aggression and seduction.

“Shouldn’t you give your boyfriend some reward if you want me to agree to your request?”

When Shu Xin met his gaze, she felt like her soul was being sucked in, as if everything he said had some kind of hypnotic power.

Without thinking, she nodded her head.

Seeing that she agreed, Yan Mo lowered his head without hesitation and kissed the red lips he had been longing for.

The moment their lips met, Shu Xin felt like her entire CPU was fried. She couldn’t react at all and just closed her eyes, following his lead.

A refreshing, slightly cool minty scent invaded her senses, filling every corner.

Her body went limp, as if all her strength had been drained. She fell into Yan Mo’s arms, enveloped by his scent. The heartbeat in her chest sent a thrill through her, making her forget everything else.

When Yan Mo finally pulled away, Shu Xin could only lean weakly against his chest, breathing heavily.

So this was what kissing felt like. Her first kiss in her entire life—it wasn’t bad at all.

“Good girl, remember to breathe next time,” Yan Mo gently wiped away the water marks left on her lips, rubbing her back to help her breathe more easily. His smile indicated he was in an exceptionally good mood.

Sure enough, the taste of his girlfriend was as sweet as he imagined.

From the shy, inexperienced reaction, it was obvious this was Shu Xin’s first kiss, and that realization made Yan Mo’s heart flutter slightly.

Maybe the kiss had been a bigger shock to her than he expected.

That night, Shu Xin dreamt of her pressing Yan Mo against her, kissing him passionately. She even did something super bold, slipping her hand under his shirt, like a mischievous girl.

When she woke up the next morning, Shu Xin stared blankly at the white ceiling for a long time, not moving.

They say dreams reflect one’s subconscious thoughts. Could it be that she had secretly wanted to touch Yan Mo’s body all along?

She quietly pulled the blanket over her head.

No, she couldn’t accept this cruel reality.

But…

It seemed like she really wanted to feel his abs.

What should she do? It felt like she had opened a new world, and was kind of eager to explore it.

After half an hour of inner debate in bed, Shu Xin finally came to terms with her curiosity. She could now face Yan Mo without feeling embarrassed.

Of course, reality slapped her in the face fast.

The moment she opened the door and saw Yan Mo, the dream scene from last night appeared in her mind uncontrollably.

Under Yan Mo’s surprised gaze, her face turned bright red, like it was about to catch fire.

Afraid he might ask her what was going on, Shu Xin quickly covered her face and ran to the bathroom. She splashed cold water on her hot cheeks, trying to cool herself down.

“You can’t be this embarrassing, Shu Xin! Get a grip!”

It wasn’t a big deal that she wanted to touch her boyfriend’s body. What’s wrong with that? It’s not illegal!

After all, they don’t smoke or drink. It’s perfectly fine for girls to have some desires, right?!

Repeating these thoughts in her head, her face slowly returned to normal. Finally, she had the courage to step out of the bathroom.
