As expected, people say the first time is awkward, but the second time is familiar.
It seemed to be exactly like that.
The original pain had long since vanished.
It was even mixed with a bit of numbness.
Hmm, it feels pretty good~~
Just as Zhu Yan was gradually letting down her guard and preparing to enjoy this rare comfort, the expression on her face suddenly changed.
Her relaxed smile vanished in an instant.
Her eyes snapped wide open as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. This sudden turn of events caught her off guard; she hadn't expected this at all.
"The teacher of this online course is definitely a fraud!" Zhu Yan cursed inwardly. "Where is the comfort in this thing?!"
Hmm, it's alright~~
Just as Zhu Yan let her guard down and wanted to enjoy it in peace...
Her facial expression changed abruptly.
Her eyes also flew wide open due to the pain.
This online course teacher is just a liar~~
This thing isn't comfortable at all.
It's so full~~
Zhu Yan: favorability value -1!
Zhu Yan: favorability value -1!
Zhu Yan: favorability value -2!
Looking at the rapidly dropping favorability value.
Jiang Cheng held it in.
...When he woke up the next morning, Jiang Cheng stretched his back, feeling refreshed.
He nimbly jumped out of bed and went straight to the bathroom for a shower.
When he came out, Zhu Yan was already sitting up.
However, she looked like she hadn't fully woken up yet.
She stretched lazily; the movement was slow but possessed a unique charm.
With that stretch, the white bedsheet she was clutching to her chest slowly slipped down, revealing a striking sight.
Jiang Cheng's gaze was involuntarily drawn toward her.
Noticing her sudden exposure, Zhu Yan hurriedly pulled up the bedsheet to cover herself.
A blush crept onto her face as she looked at Jiang Cheng bashfully.
Jiang Cheng walked over while drying his hair.
He pinched her beautiful and delicate face.
"What are you looking at? Are you a crotch-starer?"
"What are you talking about?? I wasn't looking; I just thought it was unscientific."
"Don't be afraid. First time pain, second time numbness, third time eyes closed and teeth gritted. Trust me, next time it won't just be gritting your teeth~"
Zhu Yan originally wanted to call Jiang Cheng shameless.
But after thinking back, she suddenly felt that it was indeed as he said.
No problem there, it's very apt. "Hmph, a Master of Experience, I see~"
Hearing Zhu Yan's words, Jiang Cheng wasn't flustered at all. Instead, he replied with a smug look, "Of course. If I didn't have some experience, how could I satisfy you?"
"Shameless..." Zhu Yan muttered softly.
Without continuing the topic, Jiang Cheng began to explain.
"I'm taking a flight back to Chengdu in a bit, and I won't be back until the night of the seventh. On the eighth, I have to go to Su Province. What are your plans? Are you going back to Shanghai first?"
The two had just spent a tender night together, so hearing that Jiang Cheng was leaving so soon, a look of disappointment immediately appeared on Zhu Yan's face.
"Why are you leaving so suddenly?" Zhu Yan's tone betrayed a hint of dissatisfaction and reluctance.
Jiang Cheng understood how Zhu Yan felt.
Stroking her cheek, he comforted her, "It's not sudden. It was already planned. There's an opening banquet for the company in Chengdu. I have to attend; they're all veteran employees who have been with my father and grandmother..."
Hearing this, Zhu Yan sensibly took Jiang Cheng's hand.
She replied, "I understand. Then when will you be back in Shanghai??"
"Once I'm done with the matters in Su Province, I'll return to Shanghai and come find you then."
Delighted by Jiang Cheng's promise, Zhu Yan gently placed his hand on her cheek and said coquettishly:
"Then you must come to see me first."
These words, combined with her pitiful and endearing expression, didn't make Jiang Cheng feel she was being unreasonable; instead, it made him feel a warmth from being deeply needed.
This is what one calls appropriate coquetry.
Jiang Cheng naturally had no objections.
He dotingly pinched her cheek. "Alright, I'll come to see you first when I get back. You don't look too well, so don't get up. Lie down and rest. I'll have someone bring food in later."
Zhu Yan muttered dismissively, "I'm not that fragile."
As she spoke, she unhesitatingly threw back the sheets, preparing to get up and wash in the bathroom.
However, after taking just two steps, she suddenly felt her legs go weak, and her body swayed uncontrollably.
She quickly grabbed the edge of the bed, barely managing to steady herself.
Looking at her stiff legs, Jiang Cheng shook his head and spoke.
"Alright, stop pushing yourself. Rest for a while. Moving around will only make the swelling worse..."
Zhu Yan looked at her legs with some frustration, then at Jiang Cheng's proud face.
She grumbled a few complaints but eventually sat back down on the edge of the bed obediently.
"I wonder who's responsible for me being like this, and yet you look so gleeful. You're such a scumbag~~"
"Me, a scumbag?? Heh." Jiang Cheng gave a cold laugh and retorted, "Who was the one clinging to me and wouldn't let go??" He...
Zhu Yan was left speechless by Jiang Cheng's words.
Her cheeks instantly turned beet red.
See Zhu Yan like this, the corners of Jiang Cheng's mouth curled up into a wicked smile.
He slowly approached Zhu Yan and teased softly, "How about I help you reduce the swelling again?? Let you experience what the fifth time is like?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yan's body trembled violently, and her expression became visibly panicked.
Thinking back to last night's experience, she felt a wave of lingering fear.
After the night's events, Zhu Yan no longer dared to provoke Jiang Cheng casually.
She had thought that after the second time, Jiang Cheng would be too exhausted to move and wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
But who could have guessed that after just a few verbal provocations, Jiang Cheng would actually go for two more rounds in a row.
So, regarding the fifth time Jiang Cheng mentioned, Zhu Yan really couldn't imagine what kind of experience that would be... Seeing Jiang Cheng's hand reach directly into the hem of her bathrobe, Zhu Yan dodged in a panic...
