In the evening, after finishing their classes, the educated youth returned to their dormitories one after another to wash up.

As usual, Shen Jingyan brought Gu Zhiyun a bowl of late-night snacks; today it was pork and scallion dumplings.

After class, Old Xu called Shen Yulan to his dormitory alone and helped her review her junior high school lessons.

After returning to her dormitory, Shen Jingyan read for a while and was just about to make her bed when Gu Zhiyun knocked on the door.

Shen Jingyan opened the door for him while yawning: "Brother Yun, are you not full? Or is it Old Yang who is not full?"

She thought Gu Zhiyun was there to find food, and sometimes he would find food for Yang Zinuo.

Gu Zhiyun entered the room naturally, holding up a washbasin and towel, and said, "The dormitory is too crowded. I'd like to borrow your room to wash my hair."

Without much thought, Shen Jingyan let Gu Zhiyun in.

"Perfect timing, my sister boiled an extra kettle of water today!"

Gu Zhiyun curved his lips into a smile, a sly glint in his eyes.

Since Shen Yulan and Shen Jingyan started living together, Gu Zhiyun has found it inconvenient to stay in Shen Jingyan's room all the time.

This troubled him somewhat, as it reduced his opportunities to get close to young girls, and sometimes he would be so anxious at night that he couldn't sleep.

Having finally seized the opportunity today, he couldn't afford to waste this precious moment.

Shen Jingyan was completely unaware of Gu Zhiyun's intentions. She prepared hot water for Gu Zhiyun and even took out her own shampoo.

In those days, conditions were still quite harsh, and most of the educated youth used soap to wash their hair. But after washing their hair with soap, it would be dry and rough. Luckily, Gu Zhiyun had good hair quality, otherwise he would have been bald from all the soap washing.

Every few days, Shen Jingyan would send Gu Zhiyun a bottle of shampoo, but there were seven or eight grown men in his dorm, and they would take turns digging, and in just a few days, the shampoo would be gone.

"Brother Yun, you should come to my place to wash your hair from now on, so you won't run out of shampoo."

Gu Zhiyun was overjoyed; was his little girl finally getting the hang of things?

He unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt, revealing his collarbone and a small patch of his chest.

Just as he was about to ask Shen Jingyan to help him lather up the foam, the little girl turned and walked away.

"Brother Yun, take your time washing them. I haven't taken down the mushrooms I dried during the day yet. I'll go get them!"

Gu Zhiyun: "..."

So, with his handsome head, few mushrooms are as attractive as his little girl?

But Shen Jingyan had already gone out to collect mushrooms, so Gu Zhiyun had no choice but to lather up his hair and wash it himself in frustration.

After collecting the mushrooms, Shen Jingyan was dumbfounded as soon as she entered the house.

The scene before her was so impactful that she felt all the blood rushing to her brain, making it impossible for her to think.

Gu Zhiyun had already washed her hair and taken off her shirt, and was wiping her body with a damp towel.

Although the two had done plenty of kissing, hugging, and piggybacking, this was the first time Shen Jingyan had seen Gu Zhiyun's bare upper body.

His skin tone was almost identical to his face's, both being a flawless, jade-white, as if the bright moonlight had gilded him with a layer of silver radiance.

Due to years of manual labor, every muscle in his body looked meticulously sculpted, with smooth and long lines that appeared and disappeared with his movements, resembling a landscape painting with undulating peaks and valleys.

Shen Jingyan stared intently at him, almost forgetting to breathe.

Gu Zhiyun tilted his head and smiled when he saw the little girl's rosy cheeks.

"Jingya, help me rub my back."

Gu Zhiyun's upper body was exposed, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he calmly handed the towel to Shen Jingyan.

Shen Jingyan stared at his well-defined six-pack abs, and the V-line that disappeared into his waistband as his abs disappeared...

She unconsciously swallowed.

"Look around as you like, it's all yours anyway."

Gu Zhiyun smiled and stuffed the towel into Shen Jingyan's hands, "Help me wipe my back."

Shen Jingyan felt her face burning and her hands trembling. Those muscles swayed in front of her, and playful water droplets danced back and forth between the crisscrossing muscles, like a vivid and sensual picture of a handsome man emerging from a bath...

Seeing Shen Jingyan standing there motionless, her face growing increasingly red, Gu Zhiyun grew even more fond of the girl's adorable, shy, and unaware appearance.

He pinched Shen Jingyan's burning cheek: "What are you thinking about? Hurry up and help your man rub his back!"

Shen Jingyan bit her red lips and lowered her head, re-wetting the towel. With trembling hands, she placed the towel on Gu Zhiyun's body.

Her fingers inevitably touched Gu Zhiyun's skin. The firm yet supple touch slid across her fingertips. Her heart raced, her mind went blank, and her legs went weak, making her almost unable to stand.

Strange, all I did was help Gu Zhiyun rub her back, why is she overthinking things...?

Shen Jingyan tried her best to avoid touching Gu Zhiyun's skin with her fingers, but this was not what Gu Zhiyun wanted.

The occasional touch that brushed against him was like a kitten scratching him with its paws; it not only failed to quench his thirst but also fueled the fire in his heart.

"Jingya, my shoulder hurts a bit, can you massage it for me?"

He grabbed a towel, threw it into the basin, and pulled Shen Jingyan to sit on the kang (a heated brick bed).

He pointed to his shoulder, frowning in distress, and said, "I have to carry timber during the day and study late into the night. My shoulders are sore and my muscles are stiff. You can feel it if you don't believe me."

He took Chen Jingyan's soft little hand and put it on his shoulder.

Chen Jingyan believed it to be true and busied herself with her two little hands, pounding and kneading, and even getting him some muscle-relaxing plaster.

While she was busy massaging Gu Zhiyun's shoulders, Gu Zhiyun's hands were not idle either. He put his arm around her waist and his fingers even probed inside her clothes.

"Brother Yun, are you feeling more comfortable now?"

"Hmm," Gu Zhiyun replied absentmindedly.

His fingers touched the girl's delicate and soft skin, and Shen Jingyan felt a tingling sensation in her waist. She blushed and pressed down on Gu Zhiyun's hand.

"Brother Yun, what are you doing!"

Having been discovered, Gu Zhiyun reluctantly withdrew his hand.

He pinched Shen Jingyan's chin, captured her rosy lips, and kissed her for a long time.

Footsteps sounded outside; it was Shen Yulan returning.

Gu Zhiyun gently bit Shen Jingyan's blushing ear.

"Little thing, I really want to swallow you whole!"

After saying that, he quickly put on his shirt and in the blink of an eye, he transformed from a hungry wolf into a well-dressed gentleman.

She glared at him reproachfully and kicked him out of the room.

"You bastard, you're not allowed to get your hair washed here again!"

The cunning Gu Zhiyun wasn't there to get his hair washed; he was clearly there to take advantage of him!

Even after Shen Yulan returned to her room, the blush on Shen Jingyan's face had not faded. She covered her head with the quilt and pretended that she was already asleep.

Anzi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Shen Yulan's hand and said, "Sister, I heard Mom say at noon today that she's going to marry you off to that idiot surnamed Zhao!"

Move your finger and cast your precious vote, thank you!
