Chapter 298: 267 Gaze, Burning Bright (Massive Update 1)_1

In public, of course, it was not acceptable to be so clingy; they had to be mindful of propriety, as dating wasn’t the perfect excuse to do whatever one wanted.

However, now that they were alone in his room, which would also be hers in the future, a couple snuggled in their own room naturally could do a bit of what they wanted.

With this thought in mind, Lu Han didn’t hold back with his hands.

Tang Su was tightly embraced by him, and the room was heated. When she entered, she only had time to take off her coat. Underneath that was a warm woolen sweater and thermal underwear. Coupled with their body heat, a layer of fine sweat had formed on Tang Su’s back.

As Lu Han touched her, he noticed that the temperature of her palms was unusually high, so he attempted to help her take off the woolen sweater.

Tang Su was terrified; she clutched tightly at her clothes, "Doctor Lu, what are you doing? This isn’t the way to behave indecently."

Being alone together, accidents could happen, and Tang Su was genuinely afraid that she wouldn’t be able to control herself. Wearing more layers was a safer bet.

A little heat was tolerable; she just had to endure it to get past it.

But she didn’t expect Lu Han to be so relentless and just go for it.

Once Tang Su made her remark, both stopped their tugging. Lu Han stared at her with an intense gaze, and a current of embarrassment silently flowed through the air.

Tang Su’s face suddenly flushed; she knew she had misspoken.

That wasn’t what she meant; rather...

"Should I make good on the accusation you’ve pinned on me then?" Lu Han’s eyes gleamed with a foxy light in the darkness.

If they were in their own neighborhood in Hua City right now, Lu Han would certainly have lived up to the label she had affixed to him.

But he couldn’t now, not just because time was tight, but also because their elders were downstairs. Who knew if one of the relatives would take it into their head to come upstairs and look for them.

Tang Su: "..."

Tang Su felt the fine sweat on her back; it probably turned into large beads by now, one by one slipping from her smooth spine toward her waist.

"Just kidding, did I scare you?" Lu Han could see everything, including Tang Su’s unusual reaction.

Tang Su wasn’t stupid either. Although she’d never practiced such things herself, to write her novels, she listened to suggestions from her seniors and learned.

How she learned varied from person to person.

Some might read the detailed descriptions written by others, then contemplate and learn. Tang Su’s method was to directly search for videos. To this day, her computer still held those graphically intense clips sent by friends from the circle.

Whenever Tang Su needed to write such scenes, she would watch those.

Of course, the scrutiny of online novels was stringent, and she couldn’t write too explicitly about such matters. So, in her novels, she tried to minimize descriptions of them, but less didn’t mean none.

After all, she wrote romance novels. During the peaks of passion, there were often irresistible plot points that needed to be underscored.

It was inevitable.

It’s not that she was deliberately leading young readers astray.

So, Tang Su could sense that Lu Han had, for a moment, been tempted.

Tang Su shook her head, "No, I’m sweating profusely, I’d like to wipe it off, can I?"

"Sure, of course. Do you need a change of clothes? I’ll go out and buy them for you," Lu Han let her down from his lap.

"No need, just wiping will do."

"I’ll go and run a bath for you."

"Thank you."

"You’re welcome, it’s all my fault," Lu Han said with a guilty smile.

"It’s not you."

She was also an adult, with her own desires; as a woman, she had innate modesty. She had thoughts too, but it was embarrassing to express them too directly.

And indeed, this was not the right situation for such things.

Tang Su entered the bathroom, closed the door, and with a click, locked it.

Lu Han stood outside the door, stunned for quite some time before letting out a self-deprecating chuckle.

It seemed he had truly frightened his girlfriend.

She must have thought he was about to play the rogue.

Lu Han walked back to where he had been sitting before, the jasmine green tea had cooled down. Drinking it now, the chilly temperature would help lower his body heat.

However, he didn’t drink it but went back to the pantry, grabbed an ice-cold cola from the fridge, and gulped down a big swig.

The wave of heat in his belly subsided significantly.

Lu Han emerged, and Tang Su was still in the bathroom.

Guessing she wouldn’t come out so soon, he picked up his phone to scroll through it. Tang Su’s little uncle, Su Yangming, had sent him a message asking when his cousin would return.

Lu Han knew that Su Yangming was referring to Bai Dingkai.

He didn’t know either when Bai Dingkai would be back, so he replied to Su Yangming, "I’m not sure, but I can ask for you, little uncle."

"That would be great, no trouble at all. But don’t ask in the next couple of days, both your families have just met, and there’s a lot going on. My stuff isn’t urgent. Just when your cousin gets back, could you introduce me to him, is that okay?"

"Of course, little uncle, it’s the least I can do."

"Thanks a lot. It’s a small favor for you, but a huge favor for me. If there’s ever anything with Tang Su, don’t hesitate to ask me, little uncle will do his best."

"Alright, thanks in advance, little uncle."

"You’re welcome, we help each other out."

Lu Han didn’t message back but instead sent a WeChat to Bai Dingkai directly, "When are you coming back to Beijing? Old Tan is also in Beijing, was thinking we could all get together sometime."

About a minute later, Bai Dingkai replied, "Just booked the flight, I’ll be back tomorrow. Oh, and Bai Simen is getting to Beijing tonight."

"She’s coming back?" Lu Han raised an eyebrow.

Bai Simen was the adopted granddaughter his grandfather had sponsored, several months older than him. Technically, he should be calling her ’sister’, but three years ago, Bai Simen disappeared without a word and stopped contacting his grandfather.

During family dinners, his grandfather would occasionally mention her. When someone in the family called Bai Simen an ungrateful wretch, or said she was just like the wild geese that cannot be tamed, his grandfather would get mad and curse at them.

He would say that Bai Simen must have had her difficulties to leave without a word, and her lack of contact over the years must be for the same reason.

Anyway, his grandfather was particularly fond of this granddaughter. In his eyes, Bai Simen was his granddaughter.

Bai Simen wasn’t born with the Bai surname; she changed it later out of gratitude for his grandfather’s support.

This touched his grandfather deeply.

Moreover, during the years Bai Simen was with the Bai family, she understood her place well and never took advantage of his grandfather’s affection to throw her weight around outside.

She was diligent and cautious in her interactions instead.

During that time, Lu Han was busy with his own affairs and naturally had no time to pay much attention to Bai Simen, so her sudden departure remained a mystery to him.

Now that Bai Simen was back, he wondered if the mystery would be resolved.

"Yeah, she’s such an ungrateful thing. And you guys, if I hadn’t reached Hua City, I wouldn’t even know you all had gone back to Beijing. What’s the meaning of this?"

"You don’t know? Are you going senile? We told you when you were here that we’d be heading back to Beijing in a few days. You forgot yourself, and you blame us for not telling you?"

Lu Han was speechless.

Bai Dingkai was doing well in his career, but as a person, he left much to be desired.

Just because of the mess he caused last time with Old Tan and Lin Jiaojiao leading to a separation, it was clear he had no filter in his speech.

Chances are, Bai Simen’s unannounced departure had a lot to do with him.

After all, back then, Bai Simen was his little sidekick, the closest to him.

Likewise, their relationship was pretty intimate.

The day before Bai Simen left, he had been completely drunk, staggering and oblivious to the world.
