Li Chuan was clearly overthinking.
He tossed and turned in bed, staying hard until dawn, but the person he was hoping for never appeared.
It wasn't until the next morning that Song Hanzhang, still holding Li Yong's arm, went out lovingly with him.
This scene actually stirred a sense of jealousy in Li Chuan's heart.
It was like a toy he was about to get suddenly disappeared.
Feeling a bit dejected, Li Chuan decided to go out for a walk.
Just as he stepped out the door, something fell on his forehead.
Li Chuan reached up and felt a slippery, cold sensation.
Looking at what was in his hand, it turned out to be a strip of fabric with lace trim.
Li Chuan held it for a moment, initially thinking it was a scarf, but on closer inspection, he realized it was a thong, with two lustrous white pearls on the triangular part.
Li Chuan looked up and saw Zhao Qingyao's pretty face peeking out from the next balcony, watching him.
When she saw Li Chuan look up, Zhao Qingyao blushed and said shyly, "Oh, it's Chuan. I was just collecting clothes, and my pants accidentally fell down."
Upon hearing this, Li Chuan was speechless.
He was indeed from the countryside, but that didn't mean he was dumb!
Zhao Qingyao's apartment was the same as Song Hanzhang's, with a clothes drying rack in the middle of the balcony, so no matter how clothes fell, they shouldn't drop outside the balcony, right?
And even if they did fall, they wouldn't fly over the yard's wall and land on his head!
There was no wind today!
Clearly, this woman deliberately threw her thong onto his head!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so shy!
"Oh, it's nothing."
That was quite a successful move by Zhao Qingyao. Li Chuan looked at the aromatic lace thong in his hand and felt his heart begin to race.
"Chuan, wait a moment, I'll come downstairs to get it," Zhao Qingyao's soft voice sounded above Li Chuan.
After all, she was the wife of the deputy dean at the college, and his older brother needed her husband's support to become a tenured professor. Even if Li Chuan was slow, he knew he should take the initiative now.
"Sis, I'll bring it over instead."
"Alright, then I'll come down first."
Li Chuan left his yard and walked around to the gate of Zhao Qingyao's yard.
"Bang."
The gate wasn't locked; a push opened it, and Li Chuan walked over the flagstones to the security door of Zhao Qingyao's living room.
"Click!"
The security door opened, and Zhao Qingyao appeared in front of Li Chuan, catching her breath, her fair, small chest heaving, her face flushed pink.
Li Chuan handed over the lace panties, and Zhao Qingyao smiled, "Chuan, come in. I'm home alone."
This statement was laden with implication!
Li Chuan felt a stir in his heart and followed Zhao Qingyao inside.
Zhao Qingyao immediately closed the living room door.
"Come in, there's drinks and fruit, make yourself at home. Your sister-in-law and I are good friends, so don't be formal with me."
Li Chuan nodded, sitting somewhat awkwardly on the sofa.
The décor in Zhao Qingyao's house was obviously more luxurious than Li Yong's!
Zhao Qingyao casually sat beside Li Chuan and stretched her long, white legs out on the sofa.
Those legs were even longer and whiter than Song Hanzhang's, and looked like they could squeeze a man's waist in half.
If I got to play with them, I could enjoy it for a year!
Li Chuan mused to himself.
As Li Chuan sized up Zhao Qingyao, she was also assessing him.
Tall and strong, with a head of spirited short hair, chiseled facial features, perfect muscle definition—he looked incredibly masculine!
According to Hanzhang, this guy was supposedly well-endowed, but she wasn't sure if that was true.
As she looked at Li Chuan, Zhao Qingyao said, "Chuan, thanks for earlier. How do you want me to thank you?"
Looking at the beauty before him, Li Chuan somehow found the courage and suddenly asked, "Sis, did you intentionally throw those panties... at me earlier?"
Zhao Qingyao was initially taken aback, then giggled, "Intentionally throw them at you? Why?"
"Bec... because..." Li Chuan blushed instantly.
"Chuan, you're quite naughty, aren't you? Asking like that—are you trying to flirt with big sis?" Zhao Qingyao teased.
"No, I wasn't..."
"Oh really? Then why are you blushing? I think you've got something on your mind, haven't you been charmed by me?"
Li Chuan blushed further, intending to explain, but looking at the beauty so close to him, suddenly realized this was a perfect opportunity!
Already stirred by Song Hanzhang's teasing before, there was a fire burning in his heart!
Now Zhao Qingyao's words were like adding fuel to the fire, making it burn even hotter!
Finally, Li Chuan steeled himself, swallowed, and let his gaze fall on Zhao Qingyao: "Yes! I do have something on my mind! Back in town, I never saw such a beautiful woman like you! My sister-in-law said you're married with kids, but I don't believe it! You feel more like a peer to me!"
Zhao Qingyao stared wide-eyed at Li Chuan, and finally couldn't help but laugh, "Little brother, you're quite the sweet-talker. Hearing you, I almost forgot I'm married! Back in your hometown, did you trick a lot of young ladies with that mouth of yours?"
"I... I haven't even held a girl's hand before…"
Zhao Qingyao sat up straight, puffed out her chest, and placed a hand on Li Chuan's shoulder, her expression seemingly indifferent, but her eyes full of emotion. She gave a snort, "I! Don't! Believe! You!"
With that, almost half of her body was leaning against Li Chuan!
A very enticing sweet scent wafted from Zhao Qingyao, directly striking Li Chuan's senses!
Looking at the graceful curves of the beauty in front of him, a surge of heat welled up from Li Chuan's Dantian, causing him to lose control instantly. He leaned forward, pinning Zhao Qingyao onto the sofa, and pressed his lips down on hers!
