Chapter 62: The Ice Queen’s First Kiss
Min’an Residential Complex, Building 5.
10 PM.
Qin Yuenan parked her car downstairs and noticed Lin Shen in the passenger seat leaning sideways, drowsy and barely able to keep his eyes open.
“Wake up, we’re here.”
Qin Yuenan called softly in Lin Shen’s ear, shaking his body gently before unbuckling his seatbelt and helping him upstairs.
“Which floor?”
“Fourth floor.”
At the door of apartment 403, Qin Yuenan searched through Lin Shen’s pockets for the keys and held them up to his face.
“Which one is it?”
“Let me see.”
Lin Shen fumbled for a while before finding the right key to open the door. After entering, he leaned against the entryway wall and smiled gratefully.
“Sister Nan, thank you for bringing me home. Drive carefully on your way back.”
“Do you have honey?”
Qin Yuenan didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving immediately. After helping Lin Shen sit on the sofa, she went to the kitchen, found some honey, and mixed it with hot water to make half a bowl of honey water.
Then she sat down next to Lin Shen, first testing the temperature of the honey water with a sip, and only after confirming it wasn’t too hot did she bring the spoon to his lips.
“It’s not hot. Drink it—it’ll be good for your stomach.”
“…”
Lin Shen was stunned for a moment, his heart suddenly wrapped in a rich warmth.
He had never received this kind of treatment when he was dating Gu Wanting.
Who would have thought that this seemingly aloof ice queen would actually be so caring?
Lin Shen lowered his head and sipped the honey water from the spoon, his tongue instantly filled with warmth and sweetness.
As it flowed down his throat into his stomach, the pain and heat in his abdomen began to ease.
“Thank you.”
Lin Shen thanked her softly. Seeing that his drunken condition had improved, Qin Yuenan breathed a sigh of relief and fed him a few more spoonfuls.
“Get some sleep early. Call me if you need anything.”
Qin Yuenan placed the bowl on the coffee table and was about to leave when she suddenly felt her right hand being firmly grasped by a warm, heavy hand.
“Stay with me a little longer.”
Lin Shen smiled slightly.
“I have something I want to tell you.”
Something to say?
Qin Yuenan felt her heart skip a beat, panic and confusion flooding her widened eyes, though there was also a hint of anticipation.
What does Lin Shen want to tell me?
Could it be…
Qin Yuenan didn’t dare think further. She bit her lip, and after struggling internally for a long time, she sat back down beside Lin Shen.
She didn’t pull her hand away from his grasp.
In the dim room, warm yellow light leaked through the kitchen door crack like a gentle silk ribbon winding into the unlit living room.
Light and shadow flowed across Qin Yuenan’s slightly flushed cheeks. At this moment, she sat rigidly upright, her heartbeat thundering like war drums in her chest.
Her shoulder was pressed against Lin Shen’s, and her hand was held firmly in his.
An unprecedented sense of security and happiness arose spontaneously.
Qin Yuenan pressed her thin lips together, her wandering gaze nervous and helpless. Having never experienced this kind of situation before, she had no idea what to do next.
Should she pull her hand away from Lin Shen’s?
Or just sit here like this?
Lin Shen didn’t seem in any hurry to say anything. He just gently held Qin Yuenan’s hand, stroking it softly to feel its smoothness and softness.
This was their first time holding hands—of course he had to savor it properly.
Seeing that Qin Yuenan showed no signs of rejection, Lin Shen felt confident and placed her hand on her thigh.
This seemingly casual gesture was actually preparation for his next move.
Lin Shen didn’t remove his hand, but instead began stroking Qin Yuenan’s smooth, beautiful legs wrapped in sheer black stockings.
The stockings felt excellent—delicate and silky, clearly high-quality.
Combined with Qin Yuenan’s regular exercise routine, her thighs were perfectly toned.
Though firm to the touch, the lines and contours were clearly defined, feeling absolutely wonderful.
At least Lin Shen had no resistance to this type of athletic thighs, his heart stirring with excitement.
Of course, Qin Yuenan also noticed his inappropriate behavior. Her brows furrowed slightly before she slapped his hand away.
“What did you want to say? If you’re not going to talk, I’m leaving.”
“Wait!”
Lin Shen pulled the rising Qin Yuenan back to his side, then asked with complete seriousness in a soft voice.
“Can I kiss you?”
Huh?
At first, Qin Yuenan thought she had misheard, until she made eye contact with Lin Shen for the first time tonight and saw his incredibly serious and deep eyes. Her usually clear consciousness instantly became somewhat confused.
Kiss?
That kind of “kiss,” right?
This isn’t right!
In Qin Yuenan’s understanding, relationships between opposite sexes had rules and steps.
Getting to know each other, understanding each other, falling in love.
Confession, holding hands, embracing, kissing, and finally… the last step.
But Lin Shen had skipped directly past the first few steps to the second-to-last stage?!
This caught Qin Yuenan completely off guard, and she instinctively wanted to refuse.
But… should she really refuse?
Looking at Lin Shen’s face, so handsome and refined in the dim light, Qin Yuenan hesitated.
High cheekbones created deep-set eyes, a sharp jawline, regular features, and angular facial contours.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it the face of a male god.
Qin Yuenan actually wasn’t usually affected by handsome men, but through all her interactions with Lin Shen, he had become her personal allergen that made her heart race.
Just getting a little closer made her brain freeze and go blank.
Qin Yuenan didn’t know what to do, so she could only escape.
The only solution was out of sight, out of mind—she gently closed her eyes.
But what she didn’t know was that in a guy’s eyes, this was basically sending him an “invitation to kiss.”
Lin Shen’s lips curved into an ambiguous smile. He pressed Qin Yuenan’s left hand against the sofa and leaned his face toward hers…
Then, their lips met.
Qin Yuenan’s lips were thin, and because they had been touched by honey water, they were moist and soft, with a faint sweetness still lingering between her lips and teeth.
This was Lin Shen’s main impression of the kiss.
The moment their lips touched, Qin Yuenan’s body trembled as if struck by electricity.
After the warm contact, she felt her mouth being completely enveloped, then gently parted.
Fortunately, she kept her teeth tightly closed, so she wasn’t completely passive.
Seeing this, Lin Shen stopped holding Qin Yuenan’s hand and instead embraced her slender waist, pulling her into his arms.
!?
Qin Yuenan’s heart trembled, but she allowed Lin Shen to continue.
At this moment, her usually clear consciousness gradually became hazy, and her brain felt slightly dizzy due to the temporary difficulty breathing.
This feeling had only occurred once before.
But that time was in a dream Qin Yuenan had, which inevitably differed from reality.
The moist, sticky sensation of kissing was hard to imagine if you hadn’t experienced it.
Only those who had actually experienced it knew how easily this feeling could make someone sink into addiction.
Qin Yuenan no longer knew what to do next. She could only follow Lin Shen’s lead, her left hand lightly pushing against his muscular chest while her right hand clenched tightly.
When he felt the stiff body in his arms gradually soften, Lin Shen knew it was time for the next step.
So his left hand, which had been waiting for the right moment, slowly moved toward the space between their pressed-together chests…
!?
In an instant, Qin Yuenan’s eyes shot wide open.
Where are you touching?!
