After receiving Dandan's answer, Shen Muqing felt completely relaxed; this was what a real vacation was all about.
[Host, I'll come find you on the day you die peacefully in your sleep. I'm going to rest now.]
"no problem."
I won't appear until the day you die, host, enjoy your vacation.
"good!"
After communicating with the system, Shen Muqing's gaze fell on Lan Jin again, even though he was asleep and still holding her tightly.
She was curious whether Lan Jin remembered what had happened before, and why he was able to find and recognize her so quickly. This was a question worth pondering.
Shen Muqing's gaze returned to him, her feelings complicated. How should she get along with him from now on? Should she start over or...?
These things can only be discussed after Lan Jin wakes up tomorrow, but she can't sleep right now.
It was destined to be a sleepless night. Shen Muqing forced her eyes open until dawn, still unable to fall asleep. Seeing the person next to her sleeping so soundly, she couldn't help but want to wake him up.
But then I saw the dark circles under his eyes and couldn't bear it, even though they weren't there when we were together before.
Previously, Lan Jin was gentle and considerate, and Shen Muqing was very satisfied with him. Now, Lan Jin exudes a gloomy feeling, gloomy and lifeless, and is even more distant. What exactly happened in these three years?
Shen Muqing fiddled with his clothes, unaware that the person above him had already opened his eyes, his breathing was disordered, and his chest was rising and falling.
"Um"
A barely suppressed gasp escaped Lan Jin's lips, and Shen Muqing quickly scrambled to her feet.
"You're awake?"
Lan Jin also got up, getting closer and closer to her, his eyes changing from confusion to certainty, until his thin lips touched her red lips.
First, they probed gently, touching each other once or twice, and then they began to demand fiercely.
Even after several years, Lan Jin is still the same in this matter...
"Ugh... Lan Jin, calm down first."
Shen Muqing pushed her away and called out his name without thinking. After calling it out, she thought to herself, "Oh no, I'm doomed, I've been exposed."
"I don't think I've ever told you my name."
Lan Jin sat on the edge of the bed, his clothes disheveled, completely blocking Shen Muqing's path. He looked alluring, especially his lips, which were still bright red from the kiss.
"Don't change the subject. You just made a lewd gesture towards me, and I haven't settled the score with you yet."
To everyone's surprise, Lan Jin chuckled softly after hearing this, her fingertips touching her lips, her eyes filled with a suggestive light.
"Sorry, it's a habit."
"You're shameless... I'm a man, are you gay?" Shen Muqing accused him of his outrageous behavior first thing in the morning.
Are you?
His gaze was fixed on Shen Muqing's chest. After a night of commotion, Shen Muqing's clothes were much looser, revealing that she was a woman.
“Even if I were a woman, your behavior just now was even worse.”
"Qingqing, are you going to keep pretending?"
In an instant, Shen Muqing's previously arrogant demeanor weakened, and he opened his mouth and then closed it again.
For a while, neither of them spoke. Lan Jin was still brazenly sizing her up, trying to make up for the absence of the past three years, unwilling to leave for even a second.
Lan Jin broke the silence first.
"Aren't you going to tell me where you've been for the past three years?"
Leaning against the wall, Shen Muqing didn't really want to face this moment. It was clearly Dandan who messed up at the crucial moment, so why should she bear the consequences?
Shen Muqing remained silent, glancing away guiltily.
"If I don't come looking for you, will you never come looking for me?"
"Isn't it great to have women on both sides?"
As he spoke, Lan Jin's handsome face contorted with even more pain, each word dripping with anguish, his eyes brimming with tears that threatened to spill. No woman could bear to see him like this without feeling heartbroken.
Shen Muqing was no exception; it was mainly because he looked so beautiful when he cried that it softened people's hearts.
"I don't..."
Shen Muqing herself didn't have much confidence in saying this, but Lan Jin was right. If Lan Jin hadn't come looking for her, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to go looking for him.
"Since Qingqing doesn't love me, I won't bother showing up in front of you again."
"Knowing you're alright put my mind at ease."
"Since that's the case, I will leave, and we will have no further relationship."
Lan Jin straightened his clothes, and Yinzi climbed down from the table and crawled into Lan Jin's robe.
"Wait, Lan Jin isn't what you think." Shen Muqing grabbed Lan Jin's hand without thinking. For some reason, she instinctively disliked Lan Jin's words of distancing herself from her.
"Lan Jin, I like you."
"I didn't leave on purpose."
Shen Muqing hugged Lan Jin from behind, burying her head in his hair, so she couldn't see Lan Jin's expression.
Lan Jin was indeed pulled back by her and remained where she was, but she didn't say anything.
Where Shen Muqing couldn't see, Lan Jin's lips curled up, but she quickly suppressed it again.
"Lan Jin, please don't go."
"I'll treat you well from now on. I won't suddenly leave you again, I swear..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lan Jin turned around and covered her mouth with her hand, saying, "Qingqing, you know I can't bear to part with you. I just can't do anything about you."
After saying this, he let out a soft sigh, signifying his compromise.
"Lan Jin, aren't you leaving?"
Do you want me to leave?
"Of course not."
The two faced each other. Looking at this more mature face, Shen Muqing sighed once again, wondering how there could be such a bewitching face in the world.
Shen Muqing took Lan Jin's hand and asked ingratiatingly, "Have you forgiven me?"
"Qingqing, I've been looking for you for three years. Do you know how badly I've suffered during these three years, and how much I've missed you?"
"I'm sorry, Lan Jin, I was wrong."
Shen Muqing took the initiative to hug him, tiptoed and offered her a sweet kiss. Lan Jin was stunned at first, but then took the initiative.
He guided Shen Muqing step by step toward the bed. By the time Shen Muqing realized what was happening, it was too late. She grabbed her clothes.
But Lan Jin's pitiful appearance made Shen Muqing feel sorry for her.
What's the consequence of not being able to bear it? Of course, you'll be completely taken advantage of.
A girl outside the door wanted to ask if they needed lunch prepared, but as soon as she reached the door, she heard the noise inside. Her face flushed, and she wisely refrained from disturbing them.
Inside the room, Shen Muqing suspected that Lan Jin had been faking his pitifulness earlier. Why was he even more enthusiastic about this matter after not seeing him for three years?
The red curtains were drawn, revealing two figures entwined inside. A section of green lotus root dangled from the bedside and was quickly grabbed back by the other hand with interlocked fingers.
"Lan Jin, you son of a bitch!"
"Since Qingqing still has the strength, let's do it a few more times so that Qingqing knows how much I've missed you these past few years."
"Get out, get out of here... ugh..."
For the rest of the year, Shen Muqing lived a life of ease, just like the previous three years, with everything done for him.
Lan Jin was even more clingy, always getting up in the middle of the night to check if Shen Muqing was by his side, and would wake up immediately if Shen Muqing moved.
At this time, Shen Muqing would always hug him tightly without getting tired, and even though he was still asleep, words of comfort would come out skillfully.
"I'm here, I'm here."
