Chapter 287: Chapter 307: Good Morning! _1

Lin Chen placed Chu Jiaxue onto the bed, and she just hummed, waking up momentarily. Seeing Lin Chen right in front of her, she closed her eyes again, feeling at ease.

Lin Chen helped Chu Jiaxue take off her shoes and hesitated upon seeing her still wearing her work suit. He then helped her remove her outerwear while supporting her up.

It wasn’t convenient to take off the dress, so Lin Chen turned on the air conditioner and then covered her with a quilt. He picked up his pajamas and went into the bathroom.

After Lin Chen left, Chu Jiaxue opened her eyes, her expression complicated.

As soon as Lin Chen put her down, she had woken up and hadn’t lost consciousness afterward. She knew that Lin Chen had helped her undress, but she didn’t stop him; instead, she pretended to be drunk and asleep, otherwise wouldn’t it be too awkward?

Lin Chen had also drunk quite a bit today; would he do anything to her?

Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips, her heart faintly filled with a twinge of expectation.

Humans are not emotionless like plants.

No matter how strong and capable she was, Chu Jiaxue was still a woman who longed for a man to love, rely on, and sleep with in his arms. She wanted to be with a man she liked and do intimate things together...

Lin Chen was the man who could satisfy all her fantasies.

Strong, gentle, handsome...

She now subtly regretted setting the three-month deadline with Lin Chen. At this point, she couldn’t take it back as it was too late.

Besides, she could sense Lin Chen’s heart wasn’t entirely here; this might just be a brief stop on his life’s journey.

Moreover, hadn’t Lin Chen mentioned before that he had a very good female friend?

Could they be in love?

And then there was Zuo Yingying; she liked Lin Chen, right?

The way she looked at him, completely unguarded - although there were no affectionate words or actions, it was a naturalness that ordinary friends could not possess.

Had they already experienced what they were supposed to?

Chu Jiaxue held no grudges.

She chose her path, she spoke her words; she couldn’t blame Lin Chen. He had been good and kind to her already.

What could she do?

What was she expecting?

Alcohol left Chu Jiaxue’s body weak, but her mind remained surprisingly clear.

When the sound of water stopped, Lin Chen came out wiping his hair.

Chu Jiaxue quickly closed her eyes, thinking about nothing, silently waiting for something to possibly happen or not.

She wouldn’t refuse.

Lin Chen sat at the head of the bed, looking at his phone for a while. After his hair dried, he turned off the wall lamp and lay down.

Only then did Lin Chen find a problem - there was only one quilt.

At home, although they slept in the same bed, there were two quilts; now it was a bit awkward.

Lin Chen glanced at the unmoving Chu Jiaxue, hesitated briefly, and decided not to worry about it.

After all, she was drunk, and he hadn’t done anything to her; sleeping under one quilt shouldn’t be a big issue.

Lin Chen climbed into bed, moved a bit towards the center, and closed his eyes.

Chu Jiaxue was right beside him, but at this moment, Lin Chen didn’t think too much. Firstly, he had drunk quite a bit and wanted to sleep, and secondly, Chu Jiaxue was drunk. If he had other thoughts, that would be going too far.

Upon hearing the quietness beside her, Chu Jiaxue felt a sense of loss.

He was quite the gentleman, but then again, he had always been a gentleman, so it wasn’t surprising.

Perhaps he had been prepared to leave and that’s why he treated her with such respect.

At this thought, Chu Jiaxue’s heart felt inexplicably sad.

The sudden surge of emotion made the intoxicated Chu Jiaxue turn her body, hugging Lin Chen with one leg draped over him in the most comfortable intimate position for a couple.

Lin Chen was taken aback, looked at Chu Jiaxue with her eyes still closed, then looked at the hand on his chest, hesitated for a moment, and decided to let her be.

This was the first time Chu Jiaxue had been this close with Lin Chen, her face slightly feverish but feeling incredibly comfortable, like a ship returning from a voyage entering a calm harbor.

Reassuring!

Seeing Lin Chen not moving, Chu Jiaxue couldn’t make any more intimate moves; this was already the limit of her courage.

As her thoughts calmed down, the after-effects of alcohol swiftly arrived, and Chu Jiaxue soon fell asleep.

When she woke up again, the sky had already brightened.

Lin Chen was awake but didn’t move, staring at the ceiling as if he was contemplating life. She didn’t know how long he had been thinking, but it seemed he was afraid of waking her up, so he hadn’t moved.

Chu Jiaxue looked at herself and her face instantly turned red.

She was clinging to Lin Chen like a koala, utterly intimate. What was worse was that her clothes were gone, leaving her exposed.

She thought for a moment, and the blurry scenes flashed in her mind. She had been uncomfortable herself, taking off her clothes and throwing them away.

Chu Jiaxue, shyly, raised her head, just as Lin Chen lowered his, and their eyes instantly met.

"Good Morning!"

Lin Chen didn’t offer any explanation; instead, he just smiled naturally and greeted her in a gentle tone, like an unintentional intimacy between a husband and wife waking up.

Chu Jiaxue’s panicked heart suddenly calmed down, and she smiled gently back at Lin Chen.

"Good Morning!"
