After a long while, Yu Xinxin left with a pale face.

She had been rendered speechless earlier. When Lu Chi made no move to rescue her, she understood.

Tang Yin didn’t think much of it. “From now on, don’t talk to her.”

Lu Chi looked a bit aggrieved. “I haven’t talked to her before.”

Tang Yin nodded, squeezing his hand. “Keep it that way.”

The two walked out of the library together. On the way, they encountered Yu Xinxin again, but this time, she avoided them.

It seemed she was afraid Tang Yin would say something more.

Time in school passed excruciatingly slowly, but once it was over, it felt like it flew by, leaving one astonished.

Lu Chi moved from theoretical knowledge to practical application, entering the lab to learn dissection—things Tang Yin couldn’t imagine.

Occasionally, when she visited him, she would see him in his white coat, looking through the window with an expressionless face as he carefully handled the scalpel and sutured.

Everything about him was perfect, just like the descriptions in novels.

Tang Yin loved how Lu Chi devoted himself entirely to medicine. His dignified demeanor captivated her so much that she could stare at him all day without tiring.

Their relationship was well-known across both colleges. After the incident with Yu Xinxin leaked—no one knew who did it—no one dared to provoke Tang Yin anymore.

After all, no one wanted to hear such harsh words—though not a single dirty word was spoken.

Tang Yin had already quit the basketball team. Her seniors had graduated, and the team was filled with newcomers, diminishing her interest.

Instead of pursuing graduate studies, Tang Yin chose to intern.

She found a multinational company, one of the top few in the capital. With her abilities, it was enough to secure a full-time position after some time.

By the end of the semester, after completing her internship, she indeed secured a translator position.

After finishing her thesis defense at school, Tang Yin went to the lab to find Lu Chi.

A female classmate came out first and greeted her with a smile: “Tang Yin, Lu Chi’s inside.”

They were familiar with Tang Yin. At first, they thought the couple would break up quickly. Now, nearly four years had passed, and there wasn’t a single sign of conflict between them.

This phenomenon shocked them.

What they envied most was how Lu Chi almost always responded to Tang Yin’s calls. He wouldn’t even speak to strangers, let alone those with ulterior motives.

As for Tang Yin, she was probably the best at teasing Lu Chi. Occasionally, they’d catch glimpses of him blushing.

It was said that relationships without arguments wouldn’t last. They believed this too, but Tang Yin and Lu Chi shattered their beliefs.

The only quasi-argument was perhaps when Lu Chi disagreed with Tang Yin about cohabiting before graduation?

The next day, they were eating together as usual.

Everyone assumed they would marry after graduation.

Tang Yin smiled at them.

The lab usually didn’t allow visitors, but she managed to sneak in during a break. Otherwise, she would have been kicked out.

Lu Chi was on the podium talking to a middle-aged man, his serious eyes clear and bright like stars in the night.

For some reason, he suddenly glanced at the door and paused.

Tang Yin leaned against the wall, not disturbing, and smiled at him.

Lu Chi said a few words to the teacher. The middle-aged man also looked over, smiled, and nodded.

Tang Yin didn’t know what they discussed, but it was probably Lu Chi wanting to leave because as soon as the nod ended, he took off his white coat.

As soon as Lu Chi reached her side, she couldn’t help but whisper, “Your serious look… really fascinates me.”

Lu Chi didn’t respond. After walking a bit, he pinned her against the wall at a quiet stair landing and kissed her.

Tang Yin: “...”

He was becoming quite the tease these days.

After a while, she became excited again. “I don’t have summer vacation this year, so I took leave. I don’t want to go back yet. Let’s travel?”

Lu Chi thought for a moment and replied, “Alright.”

He didn’t have much going on. Traveling sounded good—a chance to relax. Of course, the most important thing was that she wanted to.

Seeing him agree, Tang Yin was delighted.

That evening, back at the apartment, she started looking up places to visit. Adding to the itinerary she had prepared earlier, she finally decided on somewhere in the south.

Because it was cold here in winter too, Tang Yin had experienced the northern chill.

Unlike the south, houses here had heating, and even when it snowed, there was none of the biting wind that crept down one’s neck.

She couldn’t help but recall when she was in school—it had been snowing and raining, and Lu Chi had been soaked. She remembered thinking about sex and desire.

Three years had passed, and she had barely touched him, let alone anything else.

Thinking about this, she reconsidered her destination and checked the weather. The hottest temperature was only in the twenties, perfect for traveling.

She sent the itinerary to Lu Chi and booked the tickets immediately, avoiding the peak summer travel season when accommodations might be scarce.

Tang Yin stared at the hotel options for a while and decided to book one room.

As soon as the booking was confirmed, Lu Chi called: “Did you book the hotel?”

Thinking about the one room for a few minutes, Tang Yin quietly told him, “I just booked it... we can check in directly.”

Noticing her unusual tone, Lu Chi sensed something was off.

After a while, Lu Chi finally spoke, his voice clear and cool: “You… did you only book one room?”

Tang Yin pretended to be surprised. “Chi Chi, you guessed right. So smart.”

Lu Chi: “...”

Did he really need to guess? Her intentions had never been hidden—from high school until now, they remained unchanged.

Tang Yin feigned innocence: “There was only one room left at the hotel. If we didn’t book it, we’d have to sleep on the streets. Are you willing?”

Lu Chi hesitated. “What about other hotels?”

Tang Yin said, “All full. No rooms left.”

Perhaps her boldness startled Lu Chi, so she added, “If you don’t want to go, just go home.”

Now that she had taken the initiative, Lu Chi’s hesitation made Tang Yin feel embarrassed.

Lu Chi exhaled softly and didn’t object further.

“I’ll hang up now. Goodnight.” Tang Yin hung up immediately to prevent him from changing his mind, cutting off any potential regrets.

Lu Chi: “...” He hadn’t done anything wrong.

After Lu Chi’s exam week ended, the two flew directly to their destination.

This place was truly picturesque, completely different from the stifling heat of the capital—one world apart.

The inn sent a car to pick them up.

Tang Yin had booked a very popular inn. Originally, only two rooms were left. She was lucky to get a room; the next day, there were none available.

The room faced the sea, offering a close-up view of the ocean.

Her room was located on a section jutting out into the sea, with a balcony that allowed direct access to the sea, though going down was prohibited.

Had someone not canceled, she wouldn’t have been able to book such a great room.

After unpacking, Tang Yin dragged Lu Chi out to explore.

This place was hailed as a tourist paradise for good reason. Every street and alley had its unique charm, captivating visitors.

Most people on the streets were tourists. Many girls secretly took pictures of Tang Yin and Lu Chi, posting them on Weibo.

Tang Yin deliberately wore a long dress with a large skirt. Being tall, she fully showcased her advantages and didn’t look inferior beside Lu Chi.

The two made others forget any other thoughts.

After wandering around for a bit, Tang Yin said, “Let’s eat something first.”

Lu Chi complied.

Tang Yin typically sampled a few bites of food, and eventually, everything ended up in Lu Chi’s hands, which he ate without complaint.

The street was long. By the time they finished exploring and returned, it was almost dark.

Tang Yin was tired from walking. Stirring her bubble tea, she said, “Let’s go back, wash up, and go to bed.”

Lu Chi’s brow furrowed slightly, but he nodded lightly.

Not hearing his response, Tang Yin looked up and saw his expression. She couldn’t help but defend herself: “I’m very innocent.”

She really just meant washing up and sleeping.

Lu Chi’s ears turned slightly red. He opened his mouth: “… I must have overthought it.”

Tang Yin scolded him: “Exactly, you overthink things all day. It’s unhealthy, completely unhealthy and disharmonious.”

Lu Chi: “...”

Seeing her chatter nonstop, Lu Chi simply stopped talking, waiting until she was done, tired, and then handed her a glass of water.

Finally satisfied, Tang Yin said, “Let’s go back, wash up, and go to bed.”

This time, Lu Chi obediently replied, “Alright.”

Tang Yin tilted her head and grinned. “This is your promise.”

Lu Chi: “...”

By the time they returned to the inn, it was pitch black.

Lu Chi let Tang Yin shower first while he sat on the bed alone, unmoving, lost in thought.

This sea-view room had only one bed.

The bathroom had glass walls. Though the inside couldn’t be seen, the sound of running water made Lu Chi feel restless.

He shouldn’t have agreed to Tang Yin’s plan.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Yin emerged, wearing her nightgown, her slender arms and legs exposed, delicate and fair.

Lu Chi grabbed his clothes and entered the bathroom without a word.

Tang Yin watched his back for a moment, finally curling her lips.

If tonight unfolded this way and Lu Chi still managed to escape, she might as well give up living.

The room lights were dim, casting shadowy reflections of the sea outside, beautiful beyond words. Tang Yin dried her hair and stood on the balcony overlooking the sea.

Sea-view rooms were popular for a reason, especially those directly over the sea.

Hearing movement behind her, Tang Yin turned and leaned against the railing.

After his shower, Lu Chi resembled the person she saw in the rain—dripping wet, his jaw clenched tightly, handsome and compact. His hair, strand by strand, was towel-dried and slightly messy, yet enticing.

Tang Yin felt like she couldn’t handle it anymore.

Once Lu Chi finished drying his hair, she went back into the room, sitting on the bed watching him. Without speaking, she simply stared at him intently.

Lu Chi’s Adam’s apple bobbed. In a muffled voice, he said, “Let’s sleep.”

Saying that, he pulled back the covers and lay on one side, motionless.

Coming back to her senses, Tang Yin was dissatisfied. The night was long—why sleep? How boring.

Taking advantage of Lu Chi lying there without realizing, she pounced on him, biting his lips, then whispered, “Such a hypocrite.”

Lu Chi’s chin was also bitten.

It didn’t hurt, but it tickled, making his whole body itch. Stammering, he said, “Tang… Tang Yin…”

Suddenly, Tang Yin returned to her side, turned off the bedside lamp, and calmly said, “Turn off the light, let’s sleep.”

Lu Chi: “...”

Only breathing sounds remained in the room, along with the sea breeze outside.

After a long while, Lu Chi suddenly rolled over. Tang Yin, half-asleep and drowsy, asked softly, “What?”

This was nothing short of stimulation.

He kissed the corner of her lips. Seeing she still hadn’t woken up, he buried his face in her smooth, delicate neck, gently licking it as if it were the finest delicacy.

Tang Yin trembled and finally opened her eyes.

Seeing she was awake, Lu Chi nudged her nose. Tang Yin bit his Adam’s apple, turning it into a lick.

Both were fully awake now.

Lu Chi shivered slightly, kissing her restless lips. With one hand, he pushed up her nightgown, revealing her bare body underneath.

His hand paused briefly before continuing without hesitation.

Inch by inch, from bottom to top.

Tang Yin’s whole body heated up. In her daze, her nightgown was removed, along with her underwear, tossed aside. Lu Chi’s hands roamed her body, causing waves of tingling sensations.

Outside, faint light filtered in. Having adjusted to the darkness, Lu Chi could see Tang Yin clearly. His Adam’s apple bobbed as his lips pressed against her fullness—smooth and slippery.

Tang Yin’s pants and moans acted like the finest aphrodisiac.

When Lu Chi’s fingers slipped inside her, she frowned slightly but quickly relaxed, her brows tainted with desire, surrendering herself.

Sweat dripped onto her forehead and rolled down.

Lu Chi withdrew his fingers, his eyes burning with an unquenchable fire. Hoarsely, he asked, “Yin Yin…”

Tang Yin lifted her head slightly, capturing his nose between her lips.

“You… bear with it…” Lu Chi’s voice was hoarse. He parted her legs, lowering his waist slightly, rubbing for a few seconds before kissing her deeply, their lips entwined.

Tang Yin’s brief pain was concealed within their kiss.

Lu Chi prided himself on his self-control, but every bit of it vanished when it came to Tang Yin. Being enveloped by her, every movement tormented him. Her slender waist, barely fitting in one hand, was what he had longed for.

Tang Yin panted softly in his ear, each breath deadly.

Collisions, splashing sounds, and lewd, unrestrained noises echoed in the small space. Breathing in the salty, humid sea breeze, all rationality was lost.

In the end, Lu Chi slowed his pace, moving gently. But reaching Tang Yin’s limit, she writhed impatiently.

Little did she know, this only fueled Lu Chi’s desire further.

After a long while, her slightly curled toes gradually relaxed.

Unconsciously, Tang Yin kissed him, her murmurs trembling at the end, making Lu Chi unable to resist kissing her brows and eyes.

Ultimately, she closed her eyes, nestling into Lu Chi’s embrace, falling into a deep sleep.

Transparent glass reflected the sea outside. The shore was lit by countless lights, becoming hazy when the sea mist rose, twinkling with the wind.

Waves crashed against the rocks, emitting a splash sound.

Half the night had passed.
