Chapter 3131 The Age of Romance

-

Although Wen Yining didn't quite believe what he said, she hesitated for a while and then got on the red motorcycle.

Lifting her right leg and stepping up, the miniskirt inevitably rode up, revealing more of her thigh skin. Her proportions were good; her thighs were slender but not overly bony, and dazzlingly white.

Pressed against the motorcycle seat, my leg muscles felt soft and slightly thickened.

Wen Yining noticed that his gaze was fixed on her legs in a direct and flirtatious manner, so she tugged at her revealing miniskirt and regretted not wearing pants today.

Chen Jiabai can drive, so wearing a skirt is fine for her. Besides, it's hot and humid in the summer, and she doesn't like wearing pants.

Shen Yueze then shifted his gaze from her thighs to her face, and said slowly, "You come out without even wearing leggings?"

"..."

He asked, "Aren't you afraid of flashing?"

"I wore it."

Wen Yining felt that his demeanor was too aggressive, and his unabashed staring at her figure made her extremely uncomfortable; she could guess the unspoken meaning behind his words.

It felt like he was standing naked in front of me, an illusion of complete exposure.

No boy has ever made her feel this way before.

But in the end, he didn't do anything to actually harm her. He did hug her in the sea, but he didn't touch any sensitive areas.

Because of Chen Jiabai's connection, she felt he wouldn't dare do anything; he still had some dignity, after all, it wasn't some kind of triad.

Moreover, judging from Shen Yueze's demeanor tonight, it was clear that he wouldn't give up until she got into the car.

The helmet was a bit heavy, and since she had a small head and face, it wasn't very comfortable for her to wear, so she raised her hand to adjust it.

When they encountered a red light at the intersection ahead, he braked suddenly. Due to inertia, Wen Yining crashed straight into his back. Her arms didn't have time to be placed across the middle, so there was no cushioning, and her soft chest and body were pressed down.

I instinctively exclaimed, "Ah... slow down!"

Shen Yueze chuckled softly, "Then hold on tighter."

Wen Yining didn't move, her hands on his shoulders and her left hand on the back of the motorcycle, hoping to create some distance between them. The position was already ambiguous enough, and her thighs were inevitably pressed against his legs.

As dawn approached, the roads were nearly deserted, devoid of daytime hustle and bustle, and free from the winter chill and smog.

Wandering through the bustling streets filled with the aroma of everyday life is a very pleasant and refreshing experience, and my damp long hair has been mostly dried by the wind.

Without the stuffiness of the dormitory, and unlike the unhealthy chill of an air-conditioned room, the night breeze feels peaceful and serene.

Of course, it would have been even more perfect if the person who was picking her up in front of her hadn't been Shen Yueze.

At a bend in the road, he failed to brake again. The inertia caused her to have to grab his waist, and she was almost thrown off.

Her heart raced, and she pinched him resentfully. "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Shen Yueze chuckled lightly, "Really, no, my cycling skills are so-so, and I drank today, so I can't drive."

Who would believe that?

"You look quite sober, not like you've been drinking. Besides, a family like yours would never be caught driving under the influence, right? Wouldn't they remember your license plate number?"

"I have too many license plate numbers, people can't remember them all."

"oh."

Wen Yining was skeptical, unsure how much of what he said was true and how much was false. She had heard a little about his family background, but didn't know the specifics.

The reason I say this is because before Grandpa Chen Jiabai retired, if he went to a small second- or third-tier city, the local leaders would personally come to pick him up and greet him.

She was a little curious about which of the two families was better off, or if they were about the same financially.

This determines who she can offend.

But the more they are descendants of powerful and influential figures, the less likely they are to reveal their background or flaunt it.

She had known Chen Jiabai for four or five years, but she had never known his family background or his parents' specific occupations before.

She had luxury goods, but not many, and she wasn't interested in Chen Jiabai much during her freshman and sophomore years, let alone paid attention to him.

-

Wen Yining wrapped her slender arms around his waist for a moment, then let go.

But he didn't slow down, which always made her worried.

The last time I was so scared riding in someone else's car was when Chen Mo had just finished her driving lessons and took her out. She was sitting in the passenger seat and felt that something might happen to Chen Mo at any moment. The feelings of the driver and the passenger are different.

So I continued to tell him, "Slow down, can you slow down a little? You're going too fast."

After hearing this, Shen Yueze chuckled and muttered something under his breath, saying in a flirtatious tone, "Every time you say 'slow down,' it feels like I'm hearing it in bed."

“…”

Wen Yining shut her mouth and stopped replying.

Along the way, they encountered many food vendors, and Shen Yueze asked her, "Would you like some milk tea?"

"I won't drink it, I can't sleep if I do."

The ones she likes all contain real tea leaves, which makes her unable to sleep at night.

What time did you get up this morning?

"Around 12 o'clock."

"Did you stay up all night?"

"Um."

"You can see three or four o'clock."

"Aren't movies usually only two hours long?"

-

They encountered a late-night snack vendor again, and Shen Yueze remembered that she loved snacks, so he asked her if she wanted some.

She hesitated a bit this time, then looked over and saw that they were waiting at a traffic light. The aroma of various foods wafted in with the wind, filling her nostrils and making her very hungry.

I ate dinner around 6 p.m., and it's already midnight now. It's all digested.

Seeing that she didn't answer immediately, Shen Yueze got off the car and bought a serving of takoyaki, grilled cold noodles, and other miscellaneous late-night snacks from a street stall. When Wen Yining was about to take them, he hung the bag on the handlebars of the motorcycle, saying, "Eat them when we get to the movie theater."

"oh."

Wen Yining thought he hadn't bought it for her.

The movie theater isn't far away; it's only a ten-minute bike ride from home.

There were a few couples in the lobby watching the midnight electronic music show; at this hour, there were no children or elderly people.

Shen Yueze glanced around and suddenly regretted not going to a private cinema, so he chatted with the receptionist for a few minutes and booked the entire theater for himself.

Wen Yining glanced at the transparent claw machine a few times, but it wasn't in the same direction, so she assumed he had gone to redeem movie tickets.

Until they entered the venue, they had no idea that he had booked the entire event.

-

She looked at the empty room and said, "There's no one here. Well, it's quite late."

"Um."

Shen Yueze didn't explain about booking the whole place. He put one hand in his pocket and walked ahead of her, choosing a seat in the middle row.

I asked her, "Are you nearsighted?"

"This distance is fine; I can see clearly."

He then sat down.

The movie hasn't started yet; it's a zombie movie.

He didn't do anything excessive along the way, which made Wen Yining feel much more relaxed and cheerful. Plus, he stopped to buy himself some snacks, so his unease had almost completely dissipated.

It wasn't time for the movie to start yet, so the lights were on, and advertisements for other movies were playing on the screen.

She took out her phone and replied to her roommates' messages. In the group chat of the three of them, two of them were tagging her.

Dai Anning: [Where did you guys go? You're not coming back tonight, are you?]

Oh, by the way, if you come back tomorrow, bring me two boxes of duck necks.

Lou Xinyue: [Bring me some snail rice noodles]

Dai Anning: [They really went to a hotel?? Chen Jiabai must have been holding back for a long time, right?]

At this age, my ex wanted to take me to stay with him during the first week of our relationship. I told him my mom wouldn't allow it, and that's when he gave up.

[You're so beautiful and sexy, and you can even act cute, Chen Jiabai can't resist.]

Wen Yining scrolled through her roommates' chat history, which included several lewd and obscene emojis, and even one of dogs mating.

This is normal. No matter who goes to a hotel, they will chat for a while. Last time Lou Xinyue got a boyfriend, Wen Yining even taught her some tricks for flirting with boys, and helped her choose clothes and do her makeup.

She stared at her phone screen, deep in thought. Before coming out, she had assumed that Chen Jiabai would take her to a hotel to watch a movie first.

Chen Jiabai's apartment was confiscated by her parents, so it was impossible for them to take her home directly. She could only stay in a hotel.

-

Shen Yueze has good eyesight; he tilted his head slightly and read through all the messages in their WeChat group.

He asked coldly, "How often do you and Chen Jiabai book a room together?"

Wen Yining remained silent, glanced at him lightly, then moved to the left of her seat, tilting her phone towards herself, not wanting him to see so much explicit information.

Shen Yueze didn't mind, since he had already read it all. He changed the subject, "Do your two brothers know you're dating?"

"I know."

"What's your attitude like? Are you satisfied with Chen Jiabai?"

Wen Yining thought about it and realized that she hadn't actually discussed this matter with her two older brothers.

However, last year, my second brother, Wen Yichuan, asked Chen Jiabai to use his connections to do him a small favor.

This person is the most materialistic person. He just wants her to find a powerful and wealthy second-generation heir and not date a poor guy. He doesn't care about anything else.

Her older brother had shown concern for her, asking about Chen Jiabai's personality and character, but overall, he had never tried to dissuade her or expressed any dissatisfaction.

Moreover, coming from a family like Chen Jiabai's, one would not be lacking in etiquette. The first time he met her older brother, he gave her tea worth tens of thousands of yuan. Although it was from his father's family, it left a pretty good impression.

She replied, "It's alright."

Shen Yueze seemed unimpressed by her response, and casually asked, "Do they know you went to a hotel with Chen Jiabai?"

"Um."

She was very perfunctory.

He stared at her and said slowly, "Aren't you afraid you'll get pregnant?"

Wen Yining glanced at him in bewilderment. "I'm already this old. What's wrong with booking a hotel room? They'd love for me to find a proper boyfriend, wouldn't they? If I don't play around now, when will I? When I'm old?"

This is the age when she loves to have fun and fall in love the most. The only problem is that she doesn't have money. She also has to consider her future and her boyfriend's background. If her family had been like her second brother's when he was born, she thinks she would be happier than she is now.

Shen Yueze remained silent for a while with a sullen face. His phone rang loudly, still from Chen Jiabai's phone. He took it out and replied to a few messages perfunctorily, almost all of them work-related, sent by the startup team.

He glanced at the few girls' profile pictures he saw, and one of them had a familiar nickname: [Geng Chutong].

Dai Anning had mentioned this woman to him before; they were roommates and had quite a few conflicts.

In the previous chat logs, there were some revealing lingerie photos posted by Geng Chutong. Her face wasn't shown, but she had a large bust. The background was a dormitory, and the photos were quite provocative, revealing her ulterior motives.

The fruit you bought is delicious.

A bowl of cut fruit was placed on her lap.

However, Chen Jiabai didn't reply at all, and it's unclear whether she deleted it or deliberately didn't reply.

Shen Yueze is quite sensitive to flirtatious messages, after all, he has received quite a few on his phone.

But today is not a good day to show this to Wen Yining.

In front of her, he had to maintain the image of a "proper" young master.

He didn't want to be seen as a villain who used underhanded tactics to scheme against his good brother.

I put Chen Jiabai's phone on silent mode, otherwise it's too noisy.

He continued her previous topic, his expression somber and his tone serious: "The last time you took birth control pills, wasn't it because he didn't wear a condom?"
