Chapter 25 In such a moment of confusion and infatuation, she…
"Come to my room."
Seeing the four large characters on the screen, Rhein's hand trembled, and his phone fell to the ground.
Go to Ranran's room at 11 pm?
He picked up his phone and looked at it several times to make sure he wasn't mistaken.
The man felt a bit hot. Although the temperature had risen a bit in the past few days, it shouldn't be this hot.
Is the room too stuffy?
He unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, and as he reached down to unbutton the rest, he suddenly realized something.
If Ranran is calling him now, could it be because she has some new plan?
He remembered Ranran saying that morning that she wanted to go to a more distant place to kill nightmare beasts, as the number of them at the villa was no longer enough to improve their abilities.
Are we going to discuss where to go tomorrow?
Rhine lowered her eyes, noticing the V-shape of her open shirt collar, revealing her collarbone, and then further down...
He was satisfied with his body; he was neither too thin nor too plump, and his appearance was presentable. Whether at a banquet or at school, he was used to the stares of others.
People who aren't good-looking are often unaware of it. Even if they're not aware at first, others will eventually make them realize it.
However, Rhine never cared about these things. He had enough, and appearance was never his primary advantage.
But now.....
Rhine chuckled self-deprecatingly, feeling proud that his appearance might have piqued Shanran's interest.
Wouldn't that be the same as those who use their looks to please men?
Ranran is not that kind of person...
He's really overthinking things; he shouldn't have misunderstood Ranran like that.
Rhine raised her hand to fasten the buttons all the way back, took her phone, untied her bra strap, and went upstairs.
"Ranran, it's me."
Rhine waited a while, and then the door opened.
Rhine's pupils contracted when he saw the girl standing by the door.
He had seen Shanran wear nightgowns before, but the previous nightgowns were all long-sleeved, loose, straight-cut, and cute with cartoon patterns.
Shanran is currently wearing a thin-strapped, form-fitting lace nightgown that accentuates her beautiful figure.
Shan Ran was already tall, and after gaining superpowers, she grew even taller, with her curves becoming very prominent.
Her waist wasn't particularly slender, but rather very firm; when Rhine touched it earlier, he could feel a thin layer of muscle.
The exposed arms have smooth and healthy lines; they are powerfully muscular when attacking, yet seem harmless when relaxed.
His gaze unconsciously fell on her rounded shoulders, and Rhine felt a rush of blood to her head, her nose getting a little hot.
"Ran...Ran, is something the matter?"
Shan Ran reached out and pulled the frozen Rhine into the room, closing the door behind her. Then, she took the man's hand and led him to sit down on the small sofa by the window.
Rhine walked forward with his hands and feet moving in uncoordinated steps, his whole body following Shan Ran in a very awkward manner.
"Frozen" is no longer an accurate description of him; his entire body is as stiff as a piece of wood.
On the coffee table next to the sofa was a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. Shanran poured the wine and gave one of the glasses to Rhine.
Rhine took the glass and downed it in one gulp without even looking at it.
Yamaran: .....
She glanced at the bottle and confirmed that she had taken a high-proof liquor.
I almost thought I had picked up a low-alcohol beer.
She picked up her wine glass, took a sip, and without saying a word, leaned forward, placed her hands on Rhine's shoulders, and pressed her lips to his.
While growth through mere practice is rapid, it certainly cannot compare to the uncontaminated absorption of crystal cores.
The exchange of fluids means that the first kiss can only reach the lowest level, G.
She wanted to see how far the other forms of contact could go.
And she was very scared.
I'm afraid that if we don't hurry up, we'll fall far behind.
Although Rong Shuyao and her companions were brutally beaten today, none of them sustained fatal injuries. These five people were very strong, and their superior numbers, coupled with the advantage of Wendy and the others surrounding them from behind, meant they could only inflict minor injuries on them.
Especially since they also have the protagonist's halo.
With such a special ability, she will definitely encounter other crises in the future.
Shanran couldn't wait any longer.
She wants to become stronger.
Rhine opened his eyes and looked blankly at the girl in front of him with her eyes closed. He sensed that she was distracted.
She kissed him as if she were completing some kind of mission.
Mechanically touching, mechanically sticking out the tongue, mechanically going elsewhere.
He didn't know what Shanran was thinking, but he knew what she was going to do.
Because she had already pulled out the hem of his shirt.
A pair of soft hands then covered her.
The girl had a thin layer of calluses on her hands from holding a knife for a long time.
A rough, light touch brushed against his shoulder, sending a shiver down his spine.
The man unconsciously straightened his back, responding to the girl's hand.
As I stroked his abs, my fingers seemed to be tracing something, slowly circling around.
Rhine's face was flushed. He didn't know how the drink had been so potent, rushing to his head instantly. He felt his scalp tingling and his body tingling.
The crest of feathers on its head emerged and trembled slightly.
Rhine unconsciously opened her blurry eyes and looked at the girl in front of her.
She also possesses the power of a harpy eagle, but the feathered crown on her head has never been seen.
Her emotions didn't seem to fluctuate much at any moment.
Even in this moment of confusion and passion, she seems to remain calm.
Besides the time I lost control during the day, there was also... those people I saw at the noodle shop last time.
I saw the same group of people both times.
Did something bad happen between Ranran and those people?
But soon, Rhine didn't have the energy to think about that anymore.
The girl glanced at him, then looked away from his lips and moved downwards.
The warm breath fell on the man's neck, and he felt his head explode. He couldn't help but tilt his head back, his eyes squinting and the corners of his eyes reddening.
He parted his lips slightly, revealing the tip of his bright red tongue.
Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my throat.
She took a bite, then rubbed it.
He could no longer hold back and let out a soft, labored gasp.
The man clenched his fists, his arms trembling from the tension, his muscles bulging, veins standing out, and even the lines of his shirt showing.
In this almost overwhelming pleasure, Rhine bit the tip of her tongue lightly.
The pain brought me back to my senses.
But then, Shan Ran's actions made him lose control.
She slowly moved down and covered his collarbone.
Rhine could no longer bear it, grabbed Shanran's arms, and pushed her away.
His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath, his throat feeling like it was filled with grit, his voice terribly hoarse, "Ranran... what's wrong? What happened?"
Shanran didn't understand why Rhine would stop her.
"Rhine, don't you like it?"
The girl tilted her head innocently, her lips damp with a mixture of water and alcohol, giving her an almost cruelly sexy look.
The thought of those water stains still lingering on her Adam's apple and collarbone made Rhine feel even stiffer.
He tried to ignore the changes in his body, looked at the girl, and said earnestly, word by word, "I like you, I like you a lot, because I like you."
Shan Ran was somewhat absent-minded, and upon hearing this, he was momentarily stunned.
This was the first time Rhine had formally expressed his liking for her.
Although she already knew.
Rhine continued, "I like you. We can kiss, we can do other things, but I sense... you're not very willing, and you're not enjoying the present. If that's the case, why force yourself?"
Shan Ran didn't understand. If he liked her, why didn't he accept her?
"Rhine, I don't dislike you, and it wasn't forced on me, otherwise I wouldn't have kissed you first."
Upon hearing this, Rhine's eyes dimmed.
He knew, of course, that Shan Ran had feelings for him.
I just don't have enough affection for them.
He wants more trust.
Call him greedy or call him foolish.
He wanted the first and only girl he had ever liked to open her heart to him before taking the final step.
Even if the girl doesn't like him enough, even if she meets many other people in the future, at least for now, he wants to get closer to her heart.
Even if it's just a little bit.
If he could have even a little bit of affection now, would he like it a little more in the future? He secretly hoped for that.
He slowly moved closer to Shan Ran, their noses almost touching.
Being so close, Shanran could smell the man's hot breath, which was filled with the scent of alcohol.
The man was clearly drunk, but he still restrained himself.
"Ranran, I don't know what's on your mind. I'll wait until the day you're willing to tell me. I'll wait."
But I don't want you to do this with me when you're unwilling. I don't want you to remember your first time as painful and forced.
Shan Ran spoke very cruelly, "What if I don't want to tell you? Maybe it's because I don't trust you enough? Rhine, we haven't known each other for very long, why should I trust you?"
Upon hearing this, Rhine felt as if a hand had grabbed his heart, and the pain spread from his chest throughout his body.
His body trembled as he struggled to suppress the intense pain.
He sat upright with a serious expression, stood up, looked at Shan Ran, and then knelt down on one knee in front of her.
Rhine placed Shanran's hand on his heart with one hand, and made a vow gesture with the other.
"I, Rhine Lawrence, swear by my honor, my abilities, my life, everything I have had since childhood, and my position in the family, that I will never betray Shan Ran, never reveal any information about her, and never betray her trust."
Shan Ran's eyelashes trembled slightly. She leaned back, withdrew her hand, and stepped back a little.
Yes, treating Rhine as a mere tool without revealing the truth to him was too cruel to his true feelings.
Besides, as she gains more superpowers in the future, with Rhine's intelligence, she will discover this sooner or later, so it's better for her to tell her herself.
Shan Ran sighed, pulled Rhein up, and sat down with her on the sofa. Then she leaned back against the cushions, staring blankly ahead.
"Rhine, do you know what my special ability is?"
Rhine frowned, surprised that Shanran had changed the subject so quickly. "Aren't you a harpy eagle like me? And an agile type..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rhine's eyes widened.
Because he actually saw a fist-sized ball of water condensing on Shan Ran's outstretched palm.
"Ranran, you have... three abilities? You're a three-element ability user?"
But then, Rhine sensed something was wrong.
Harpy, Agility-based, Water-based...
He, and Meng Xinye.
He made a connection to something, but then felt that the connection in his mind was too absurd.
So much so that he couldn't speak for a moment.
Shanran remained leaning against the sofa, but turned her head and stared intently at Rhine.
