Chapter 379: Chapter 399: So Reassured, Such a Sense of Security _1

Although Gu Yuexi was singing, her heart was pounding.

Zuo Yingying leaned lazily against Lin Chen like a languid cat, rubbing her temples and whispering intimately. The unabashed closeness made Gu Yuexi feel a little awkward, but at the same time she couldn’t help but be somewhat envious.

Zuo Yingying could be so unabashedly intimate with Lin Chen partly because of her outgoing personality, but mostly because they had already crossed that line in their relationship.

The difference in a relationship between men and women when they have or haven’t slept together is like night and day.

While envious, Gu Yuexi couldn’t help but wonder if she and Lin Chen could take their relationship further.

With such delicate and complex thoughts, Gu Yuexi got drunk.

Zuo Yingying pinched Gu Yuexi’s cheek, causing her to mumble something unintelligible with a silly expression.

"Why did you get drunk so fast? Seems like you have something on your mind."

Zuo Yingying leaned in closer with a smile, hanging onto Lin Chen’s neck.

Lin Chen was somewhat panicked, as Gu Yuexi was still there.

Zuo Yingying kissed him gently, then chuckled and got up: "I’ll go. Just remember, happiness isn’t something that waits for you, it’s something you fight for. Show some assertiveness, man!"

Lin Chen watched Zuo Yingying walk towards the door: "Are you just leaving like that?"

Zuo Yingying put on a surprised expression: "What, should I stay? Are you expecting us both to keep you company?"

Lin Chen was speechless. This woman’s words were hard to deal with!

Zuo Yingying saw the expression on Lin Chen’s face, then giggled: "I’m just teasing you. You should know your limits. I don’t want to annoy people by sticking around. But if you can’t deal with Xiaoxi and need help, you know where to find me."

Zuo Yingying left, and Lin Chen looked at Gu Yuexi lying on the sofa. He stretched out his hand to sort out a few messy strands of hair on her forehead, then helped her up, with her arms over his shoulders, and lifted her up by her legs.

"Hold onto my neck so you don’t fall off."

Gu Yuexi, in a daze, clung to Lin Chen’s neck, then comfortably fell asleep on his shoulder.

When Lin Chen brought Gu Yuexi back to the hotel, she was completely asleep, she rolled over and continued to sleep.

Lin Chen originally wanted to leave, but worried about Gu Yuexi having an accident while drunk. After hesitating, he decided to stay.

When Lin Chen woke up, Gu Yuexi was lying in his arms, staring straight at him.

"How long have you been awake?"

Gu Yuexi pursed her lips, her gaze a little evasive, but her expression joyful.

She was in bed with Lin Chen!

They had been hugging each other all night!

Although they hadn’t crossed any lines, she couldn’t deny how safe and secure she felt lying in Lin Chen’s arms.

Gu Yuexi lifted her face, pecked him on the lips, then buried her face in his chest.

"Just woke up."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Go take a shower to freshen up, you smell like alcohol. Yesterday when I carried you back, you slept like a pig, so I didn’t mess with you."

"Okay!"

Gu Yuexi, naturally smelling the strong alcohol scent on her body, got up somewhat embarrassed, went to the bathroom, and soon the sound of water came.

Lin Chen lay in bed, his thoughts drifting along with the splashing water. Scenes of his past encounters with Gu Yuexi flashed through his mind like a movie, making his heart soften.

Should he strive to take that next step?

Zuo Yingying’s words echoed in Lin Chen’s head.

Happiness must be fought for.

Men should be more assertive.

Yes, as a man, he should indeed be more proactive.

The weather seemed nice today; a bright and sunny morning would be a perfect beginning to a new relationship Chapter.

He made up his mind!

The sound of water stopped, and soon Gu Yuexi emerged in a bathrobe, her head wrapped in a towel, her pale legs in slippers.

She was like a goddess emerging from the water!

Lin Chen felt that speaking now would ruin the courage he had just built up, so he remained silent. He got up without saying a word and hugged Gu Yuexi.

Gu Yuexi’s body exuded the fragrance of shower gel, so pleasant.

Gu Yuexi’s face turned red instantly, and for a moment she felt at a loss, her body stiff in Lin Chen’s embrace, her mind turning blank.

She saw Lin Chen’s eyes filled with passion, and she understood what he wanted to do.

She had always been looking forward to this day, but when it finally arrived, she found herself lost and unsure how to cope.

When her soft, warm skin felt the cool touch of his hand, she finally came to her senses.
