Chapter 603: Chapter 243: Why Don’t You Stay at My Place Tonight?
They emerged from beneath the hem of her skirt, tracing the full, rounded curve of her thigh downward and cinching tightly along the outside.
After pausing briefly above the knee, they continued on, outlining the long, smooth curve of her calf.
The toe of the stocking was pulled imperceptibly taut, like a tightly wound string. It cinched at the ankle, locking in a sense of delicate exquisiteness and leaving only the sculpted contour of her heel, as perfect as carved jade.
The light fell across the surface of the stockings, highlighting the impeccable, firm line of her legs. There wasn’t a hint of excess fat—only the vibrant vitality of youth and a perfect symmetry born of meticulous care.
Shen Yuan’s breath hitched without him realizing.
This pure white seemed to radiate its own gentle, delicate light. It was unlike the mesmerizing, mysterious black she had worn on the night of his confession, yet it outlined every inch and curve of Li Zhi’s legs with even greater clarity.
The cable-knit pattern was like a secret code, meticulously etched onto a pure white canvas.
It added a touch of innocent charm, while also drawing the eye, making one want to follow its winding paths and imagine the soft, warm skin that lay beneath.
After shrugging off her outer clothes, Li Zhi glanced up and found Shen Yuan’s gaze fixed on her legs.
The young woman raised her eyes, her gaze landing on Shen Yuan’s face.
She leaned forward slightly and, in a soft yet clear voice, asked the question that was on the tip of her tongue: "Do they look good?"
The instant the words left Li Zhi’s lips, Shen Yuan began to nod vigorously. Again and again, his head bobbed like a chick pecking at grain, yet each nod was full of firm conviction.
His deep eyes remained locked on her, shining with an astonishing brightness. The surging heat and affirmation within them threatened to spill out.
Wisps of intimacy chased away the last vestiges of the winter night’s chill, making the already sultry air between them grow thick and scorching hot.
Li Zhi’s heart fluttered under his undisguised gaze, and the heat that had just receded from her cheeks came rushing back.
But she didn’t look away. Instead, in an atmosphere filled with warmth and fluttering hearts, she lifted her delicate chin, a sly, knowing glint in her eyes.
Her voice grew even softer, even gentler, like the tip of a feather brushing against heartstrings.
"So..." The young woman’s fingertips unconsciously toyed with a lock of her hair. "What... are you supposed to do now?"
Before her voice had faded, the light swirling in Shen Yuan’s eyes froze for an instant, only to be replaced by an almost ferocious desire.
"I’m supposed to—"
He didn’t even let the question hang in the air for half a second. His low, hoarse voice, laced with a scorching breath, cut through the heavy atmosphere.
’Hold you!’
The thought and the action erupted in perfect sync!
The young man’s long, strong arms shot out, wrapping around Li Zhi’s slender, soft waist!
The movement was so fast it stirred a small gust of wind, giving Li Zhi no time to react.
His palm pressed against the warm, delicate contours of her skin through the soft, cream-colored knit of her top. With a slight squeeze—
"—Ah!"
Li Zhi felt her center of gravity vanish, her startled cry caught in her throat as she was pulled against his scorching body heat!
Shen Yuan’s arm tightened, lifting her effortlessly from the edge of the bed and pulling her firmly down onto his lap!
The impact of her landing made them both acutely aware of the heat and contours of each other’s bodies.
Li Zhi’s legs, wrapped in the pure white, cable-knit stockings, were now pressed flush against his firm thighs with no buffer between them.
The fine texture of the stockings against the cotton of his pants created a heart-stopping friction, conveying a soft, yielding pressure.
The beautiful girl was practically molded into his embrace, forced to sit on the firmest part of his lap.
Shen Yuan’s other arm had already wrapped around her waist, locking her tightly against his chest.
Li Zhi could only instinctively press her hands against his solid chest, like a small animal caught in a hunter’s trap with nowhere to run.
She struggled slightly, but it only served to create more dizzying heat as their tightly pressed bodies rubbed against each other.
"You..."
Li Zhi’s breathing was unsteady. The fingertips pressed against his chest curled slightly; she wanted to push him away, but her fingers were too weak to exert any force.
The young woman bit her lower lip in flustered annoyance, lifting her glistening eyes to glare at him. "You rascal!"
That "rascal" was like a switch, instantly flipping on Shen Yuan’s own mischievous impulse.
Shen Yuan’s free hand rose, his fingers tracing a path across the girl’s smooth cheek.
His Adam’s apple bobbed. "Li Bao, kiss me."
Li Zhi knew very well this was not a request.
It felt as if his straightforward invitation had set her heart ablaze, and it began to pound so furiously it felt like it would burst from her chest.
The blush on her cheeks burned all the way to the tips of her ears, spreading down her exposed neck.
The last bit of strength she’d had to struggle was completely drained away, and the hands resting on his chest slid down limply.
The air was so thick it was nearly stagnant. The light seemed to dance in the elongated shadows between them.
After a frozen moment, Li Zhi’s long, thick eyelashes fluttered.
The feigned anger in her glare had long since melted away, leaving only a shimmering, tear-bright submission and shyness.
As if guided by some instinct, her arms slowly lifted, reaching over his broad shoulders to gently circle the back of his neck.
Her silent consent, at this moment, was worth more than a thousand words.
With her arms entwined behind his neck, she was entrusting her entire world to him.
Shen Yuan gazed at the shy, watery sheen beneath the eyelashes of the girl in his arms, feeling the pressure of her arms wrapped around his neck.
His Adam’s apple bobbed heavily. The emotions in his heart were like boiling water, roaring with desire.
The unspoken demand had already dissolved into their mingled breaths, waiting only for the final touch to ignite the long-suppressed flames.
