“Bookmark?”
So that’s why he had been standing still in front of the dressing table—he was looking at her bookmark.
Lin Qingyou’s face instantly turned even redder, a hint of guilt and embarrassment flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Her bookmarks—nine out of ten were filled with words expressing her dislike for him.
But girls… teenage girls… they always say one thing and mean another.
Anyone who understands, understands.
“Little Qingyou, so you’ve been eyeing me since you were so young?”
Lin Qingyou’s face immediately turned as red as a tomato—her ears, neck, and cheeks burning hot.
“Who’s eyeing you!?”
Suddenly, she lunged toward Yin Hanyu, trying to snatch back the book that was so important to her.
“Give it back… Hurry and give it back…”
However, despite her desperate attempts to grab it, Yin Hanyu had no intention of returning it.
With a teasing smile, he effortlessly lifted the book high above his head. Given his height of 188 cm, the petite Lin Qingyou, even when jumping with all her might, couldn’t reach the edge of the book.
Lin Qingyou was getting frustrated, hopping up and down in anger. “Yin Hanyu, give it back! Give it back now!”
Yin Hanyu’s lips curled into a smirk. “Nope.”
Lin Qingyou: “…”
Ahhh! She was going to bite him to death!
But Yin Hanyu wasn’t satisfied with just teasing her like this. Like a mischievous child, every time Lin Qingyou seemed ready to give up, he would lower the book slightly, giving her a glimmer of hope.
This tricked Lin Qingyou into thinking that if she just jumped a little higher, she could reclaim the book.
And so, she kept trying, again and again, only to fail each time.
Lin Qingyou stomped her foot angrily. “Yin Hanyu, you big meanie! Give me back my book!”
Her face was now completely red with anger, her eyes glaring at him like an about-to-explode gas canister.
Yet, all she got in response was Yin Hanyu’s playful taunt: “Not giving it back…”
Before she could react, he even waved the book in front of her eyes, just to provoke her further.
That was the last straw. The flames of rage inside Lin Qingyou flared up. At the same time, the fleeting hope of retrieving her book spurred her into action—
She lunged at Yin Hanyu with all her might, reaching for the book that was so close.
But at that very moment, things took an unexpected turn.
Due to her overexertion, Lin Qingyou not only failed to grab the book—she ended up crashing straight into Yin Hanyu’s broad, warm embrace.
Yin Hanyu’s eyes twinkled with amusement—clearly, he had planned this all along.
He took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her tightly, leaving her with no chance to escape. Then, he lowered his head—
And kissed her.
Little Qingyou, thank you for liking me.
I like you too. I really, really like you.
Yin Hanyu’s sudden kiss caught Lin Qingyou completely off guard. A jolt of electricity surged through her body, and her initial tension gradually melted away into softness.
His kiss was passionate and deep, carrying an indescribable depth of emotion and longing. He didn’t know how to express his feelings, so he could only convey them through this kiss.
Slowly, Lin Qingyou found herself sinking into it, her hands instinctively wrapping around him. Her thoughts became muddled, and she felt as if she were floating.
So this… was what it felt like to kiss someone you liked.
But just as her fingers brushed against the bookmarks scattered on the bed—
A wave of bittersweet emotions surged in her heart.
In her past life, when he saw these bookmarks, they soon met their deaths.
In this life, when he saw them, they were about to get married.
Yin Hanyu, this time, I will make sure you are very, very happy.
Lin Qingyou responded to his kiss with newfound passion.
At that moment, the entire world seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them locked in a burning embrace, their lips entwined.
Eventually, it was Yin Hanyu who pulled away first.
Lin Qingyou, dazed and breathless, collapsed against his chest, looking adorably obedient. He couldn’t help but lower his head to steal another lingering kiss from her lips.
His breath was heavy, his forehead resting against hers, his heartbeat erratic. “Qingyou… what should I do? I’m reacting to this.”
Lin Qingyou’s face turned scorching red. “…”
The moment snapped her back to reality, and she quickly shoved him away.
Oh my god! It was all because of his ridiculously handsome face!
She had actually let herself get carried away… in her own house…
And with Lin Qingqing in the next room! And her father right across the hall!
If he hadn’t stopped in time—
Ahhh! Lin Qingyou shook her head furiously. No, she couldn’t think about this anymore!
If she did, she’d have to censor her own thoughts!
Yin Hanyu immediately pulled her back. “Qingyou, help me.”
“…H-Help how?” Lin Qingyou stammered, suddenly feeling shy.
She might be great at talking big, but now that it was actually happening, she was completely flustered.
Yin Hanyu looked troubled. “I don’t know either.”
Lin Qingyou: “…” !!!
Was he… actually this innocent!?
She covered her face with one hand and pointed toward the bathroom with the other. “How about… you take a cold shower? That’s what all the CEOs do in romance novels.”
Yin Hanyu: “…” ???
Meanwhile, Lin Qingqing had just finished getting dressed and was about to look for Yin Hanyu.
But when she entered her father’s study, she only saw him absorbed in his documents—Yin Hanyu was nowhere in sight.
Lin Qingqing’s heart sank with a bad premonition. “Dad, where’s Yin Hanyu?”
Her father, still reading, answered casually, “He likes flowers, so I had your sister take him to admire them.”
Lin Qingqing: “…”
At that moment, she wanted to strangle her mother.
How could she let Yin Hanyu and Lin Qingyou be alone together right under her nose!?
She had spent so long dressing up… which meant Lin Qingyou had been alone with Yin Hanyu for just as long!
Lin Qingqing immediately rushed to the back garden, but when she got there—
It was empty.
Panicked, she ran back and banged on Lin Qingyou’s door.
“Lin Qingyou! Open the door! Open up!”
“Lin Qingyou, open the door right now—”
When Lin Qingyou finally opened the door and saw Lin Qingqing’s dramatic outfit, she couldn’t help but twitch her lips.
Lin Qingqing was wearing a bright red dress, high heels, and voluminous waves in her hair. At this hour, in her own house, she looked like she was about to walk the red carpet like a peacock.
Ridiculous.
Lin Qingyou shook her head in disdain. “Why are you knocking like that? In a rush to reincarnate?”
Lin Qingqing glared at her in fury. “Where’s Yin Hanyu!?”
Lin Qingyou pointed at the bathroom door. “Taking a shower.”
Lin Qingqing: “…” ???!!!
A shower!? A shower??? A SHOWER!?!
What had they done… that required a shower!?
She nearly lost her mind with rage. With fiery eyes, she turned on Lin Qingyou. “You slut! You must have seduced Brother Hanyu!”
“Nonsense. I clearly seduced her.”
At that moment, Yin Hanyu pushed open the bathroom door and stepped out.
