Chapter 490: Chapter 235: First Kiss
’Go somewhere else?’
Lin Shen looked up and scanned his surroundings, noticing that there were fewer and fewer students on campus.
"It’s so late. Aren’t you heading back to your dorm?"
Lin Shen asked with concern.
"Don’t they usually shut off the water at night? Will you still be able to shower?"
"They don’t shut it off until eleven. It’s only a little after nine, so it’s not late."
Gu Wanqing hugged Lin Shen’s arm and shook it coquettishly.
"Come on, let’s walk around campus a little more. Your work is so busy, and you finally have some free time. I want to spend more time with you."
"Alright, alright."
Lin Shen dotingly patted Gu Wanqing’s head, then gave a mischievous smile.
"You have something else in mind, don’t you?"
’Huh?’
’Did he see right through me?’
Gu Wanqing’s heart suddenly raced, and a shy blush gradually crept onto her cheeks and ears.
Even so, she stubbornly tried to play it off.
"No! What could I have in mind? Don’t tell me you’re the one with strange ideas, Shen!"
"Not me."
The corners of Lin Shen’s mouth curled up as he thought to himself.
’I’d like to see how long this girl can keep this up.’
And so, Gu Wanqing took Lin Shen’s arm and walked along the outer edge of the athletic field, heading toward the academic buildings.
This surprised Sun Jialin, who had been watching them from a distance.
She had thought they would just stand there and chat for a bit before parting ways.
’Who would’ve thought they’d still be strolling around campus this late?’
’And they’re even heading somewhere deserted?’
Sun Jialin’s heart sped up, and a sudden strange feeling washed over her.
When it came to gossip, girls had a naturally sharp sense of smell and intuition.
’There’s definitely something going on between Gu Wanqing and her "brother"!’
Sun Jialin was sure of it, so she quietly followed them, discovering that they had turned into a small alley behind an academic building, beyond the reach of the streetlights.
"What did you bring me here for?"
Lin Shen asked, feigning ignorance. Gu Wanqing, too embarrassed to speak, just stammered, unable to give a reasonable explanation.
Seeing they were about to walk out of the alley, she anxiously grabbed Lin Shen’s hand to stop him. Biting her lip, she finally mustered her courage and looked up at him.
"Shen, can I ask you something?"
"What is it?"
"Before the semester started, when I came to visit Modu, do you remember our last night at your place? We were sitting in the living room watching a movie?"
"I remember."
"I accidentally fell asleep... Was it you who carried me to the bedroom?"
"What, you think it was a ghost?"
Lin Shen smiled and pinched Gu Wanqing’s delicate nose. Usually, she would instinctively pull away and furrow her brow with a wronged expression.
But tonight, she stood on her tiptoes and leaned in, wrapping her arms around Lin Shen’s waist. Her wide, beautiful eyes sparkled with a stunning light.
"Then did you... steal a kiss while I was sleeping?"
"No."
Lin Shen said seriously, his tone righteous.
"How could I do something like that, taking advantage of you? That would be such a scumbag move!"
"Why didn’t you?"
Gu Wanqing’s cheeks puffed out slightly and she pouted, looking for all the world like she was holding a grudge.
This left Lin Shen momentarily stunned. He then replied with a straight face.
"We hadn’t confirmed our relationship back then. Plus, we had only known each other for a few days and weren’t that close. If I had done that, wouldn’t it have been sexual harassment?"
"So what if it was? I was asleep, I wouldn’t have known."
Gu Wanqing looked at Lin Shen provocatively.
"It’s obvious you were just scared, Shen. Too chicken."
’Me? Too chicken?’
Lin Shen’s eyebrow twitched. He was the type who responded to gentle persuasion, not to being pushed around, and he couldn’t stand this kind of provocation.
So he gently grabbed Gu Wanqing’s wrist and took a step forward, forcing her back against the wall.
Staring at the handsome face that was suddenly so close, Gu Wanqing instinctively lowered her gaze. Her pretty face flushed an even deeper red, her heart pounded, and her mind went completely blank.
’Isn’t this the classic *kabe-don* scene you always see between the main characters on campus in TV dramas?’
’The next step is...’
Gu Wanqing pressed her lips together. Her flustered eyes were filled with endless anticipation as she slowly closed them.
However, after waiting for what felt like an eternity, Lin Shen still hadn’t made his next move. Finding this extremely strange, she timidly opened her eyes and peeked up at him.
What she saw was that face with a wicked smile playing on its lips.
"Let’s go. I’ll walk you back to your dorm."
’Huh?’
’Back to the dorm? Just like that?’
’The most important part hasn’t even happened yet! How can we go back?!’
Gu Wanqing’s anticipation completely overshadowed her shyness. She immediately rushed forward and hugged Lin Shen’s waist to keep him from leaving, murmuring softly.
"Shen, why don’t you finish what you didn’t do back then? We’ve cleared things up between us now, anyway. I won’t hate you, and I won’t accuse you of sexual harassment..."
"You’re the one who said it."
Having gotten Gu Wanqing’s permission, Lin Shen decisively leaned down, took hold of her delicate chin, and tilted it up slightly.
Gu Wanqing’s expression froze and her pupils dilated. The next second, she felt Lin Shen’s scorching kiss.
In an instant, her already blank mind turned to complete mush, and her delicate body went rigid.
’Huh?’
’So this is what kissing feels like?’
’It’s not that big of a deal...’
In Gu Wanqing’s mind, kissing was a very sacred act.
It represented the most intimate part of a couple’s relationship, a medal for their intensifying feelings.
It was just that tonight’s developments had been a bit too sudden, so she hadn’t had time to process it. All she felt was the sudden pressure of his lips on hers, robbing her of the ability to speak.
Although kissing Lin Shen was something she had always looked forward to, she still felt a little nervous and uneasy.
