Sunlight dappled through the gaps in the maple leaves, gently falling on Lin Yuan's face. He was slightly out of breath, his eyes filled with complex and unreadable emotions.

After a deep kiss, he slowly released Lin Manman. Both of them were still breathing slightly rapidly, having just escaped a silent vortex.

Lin Manman's cheeks were as red as a sunset, and her eyes flickered with shyness and barely perceptible unease.

She could keenly sense Lin Yuan's unusual behavior at that moment; the barely suppressed desire in his eyes was almost bursting forth, making it impossible to ignore.

She involuntarily lowered her eyes, her fingers gently twirling the hem of her clothes, her mind a jumble of thoughts, impossible to unravel or unravel.

At this moment, Lin Manman's world consisted only of her own racing heartbeat and the silent air around her; everything seemed so unreal, yet strangely clear.

Don't forget, Brother Lin Yuan also has a legal wife.

You must make the most of your turn, because there's a powerful woman eyeing you from behind!

We must muster our courage to prevent the opportunity from slipping away.

Thinking of the dazzling array of gifts Lin Yuan had given her, a feeling of wanting to reciprocate welled up in her heart.

A blush gradually crept onto her cheeks, and her voice was barely audible: "Lin Yuan...should I do something for you?"

Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but then he understood the implication in her words.

His eyes suddenly burned with passion, but he quickly regained his usual composure.

He gently took her hand, his voice low and tender: "Manman, you don't have to force yourself to do things that make you feel uncomfortable."

Lin Manman had already made up her mind. She slowly raised her eyes, her clear eyes flashing with unprecedented determination as she looked directly at Lin Yuan.

"Brother Lin Yuan..."

Although there was a slight tremor in his voice, it inexplicably carried a resolute quality born from a transformation of his mind.

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat; he hadn't expected Lin Manman to be so considerate.

He sighed softly, then gently pulled her into his arms, his voice low and full of tenderness.

"Silly girl, you're making things difficult for yourself."

Lin Manman looked at Lin Yuan's warm chest and whispered softly, "Brother Lin Yuan, I like you. I..."

Her voice gradually lowered, and the unfinished words melted into the quiet warmth.

Then I realized that Brother Lin Yuan already had a fiancée.

He didn't respond to her confession, and continued, "Besides, you've always been so good to me, I should at least repay you in some way."

A gentle smile curved Lin Yuan's lips, his eyes sparkling with doting affection.

He gently patted her back, his voice deep and magnetic, with an irresistible charm, and whispered, "It's not good for you to be seen like this."

The two carefully found a secluded spot, hiding in a meadow behind a lush thicket of bushes.

Lin Yuan, full of patience, transformed into a kind and persuasive mentor, patiently guiding a young girl who was still unfamiliar with romantic relationships.

Lin Manman clenched her teeth, trying her best to maintain her composure.

Half an hour later, with Lin Yuan's patient guidance and unremitting efforts,

All of Lin Manman's guilt vanished.

Lin Yuan stretched out his arm and placed it on Lin Manman's face.

"Sigh, Manman, you really..."

Lin Manman's face flushed with embarrassment. She lowered her eyes slightly and whispered, "Am I...am I too foolish? Unworthy of you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled gently, stroking Lin Manman's soft hair with tenderness in his eyes.

"No, Manman, you're not stupid at all. In my eyes, you're the most understanding girl."

His gaze could penetrate everything, reaching deep into Lin Manman's heart and giving her the most steadfast encouragement.

At that moment, their hearts were intertwined, and the whole world seemed to stand still.

She buried her face in Lin Yuan's arms, her mind a complete mess.

She wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin.

In the end, she just muttered softly, "Lin Yuan, I... I'm afraid that you left me because of your fiancée."

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and gently pulled her into his arms.

"Don't be afraid. Even if nothing happens, we'll still be partners at the bubble tea shop, remember?"

Lin Manman nodded, her head lowered so that her expression was unreadable.

All I heard was her whisper, "Okay, that's good. I believe you, Brother Lin Yuan... I'll head back now."

Her voice was panicked, as if she was afraid Lin Yuan would notice her unease.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and nodded.

"Okay, be careful on your way."

Lin Manman nodded, like a frightened little rabbit, and hurriedly ran back to her dormitory.

At this moment, Lin Yuan guessed that Lin Manman was still regretting her actions and had tried to repay him with her body.

Lin Yuan knew she was a good girl.

Not long after, Lin Yuan's phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID; it was an old friend, Wei Minghao.

"Hey, Lin Yuan, I really went to great lengths to get Xu Lan to come to this gathering."

A barely perceptible excitement flickered in Wei Minghao's words, "I'm really playing matchmaker for you!"

Lin Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

He paused for a moment, then uttered two words in a low voice: "Xu Lan..."

People are often trapped by things they couldn't have in their youth. Lin Yuan remembered that besides his white moonlight Liu Xinran, he also had a childhood sweetheart.

“That’s right, it’s our childhood sweetheart!” Wei Minghao said with a hint of teasing. “Haven’t you always been thinking about her? This reunion might just rekindle your old flame!”
