This Was Only a Few Days After Meeting, Right?

A grown boy's robust presence was right beside her. Xia Shuyi was so nervous her heart nearly leaped out of her chest, while the blush on her face grew ever more obvious. She did not dare lift her head to look at Shen Lang.

Thinking that they had known each other for less than a few days made Xia Shuyi so ashamed she wanted to disappear.

Was she really so empty inside? A boy she had known for only a few days had dared bring her into his bedroom?

Xia Shuyi felt that she had to be crazy!

So, she could only stare foolishly at the mouse on the computer screen, turning a blind eye to any bold actions Shen Lang might take.

From the corner of her eye, she occasionally studied this grown boy, who still seemed somewhat at a loss when it came to such matters.

At the same time, this was Shen Lang's first time holding a woman's hand, and in such an ambiguous position at that.

More importantly, this woman was the Landlady he had met less than two days ago, after moving into this neighborhood!

Unlike the hands of girls Shen Lang had imagined, Xia Shuyi's hand was soft and especially warm in his palm, like a piece of fair, translucent warm jade.

Shen Lang was both nervous and excited. He did not know what to do, so he merely held Xia Shuyi's hand and guided the mouse aimlessly across the computer screen.

"S-Sister Xia..."

"L-Little Shen..."

From beginning to end, Xia Shuyi did not resist. Aside from a mature woman's charm, there was even a faint trace of girlish innocence between her brows.

This innocence did not mean she was young, but rather the helplessness of someone inexperienced.

The moment Shen Lang made up his mind, his mind went blank, filled with nothing but humanity's most primal impulse!

"Mom, your phone is ringing!"

With a click, the bedroom doorknob turned, and the door was gently pushed open.

Holding the ringing phone, Xia Mengmeng stood blankly in the doorway. She innocently stared at the two people on the bed for a moment. "Mom? What are you and Big Brother Shen doing?"

Xia Mengmeng's childish, innocent voice instantly extinguished the passion between them.

"N-Nothing. Mengmeng, give me the phone."

Like a female lead caught in bed with someone, Xia Shuyi awkwardly put on her dress and quickly tidied her messy hair.

Her face flushed crimson, she patted Shen Lang's arm, signaling for him to hurry up and get off her.

Shen Lang swiftly jumped off Xia Shuyi and the bed, then turned his back to the little girl to adjust his trajectory.

"Big Brother Shen, what were you doing with Mom just now?"

Xia Mengmeng tilted up her innocent little face and asked, "Were you playing a game? I want to play too!!"

Shen Lang awkwardly rubbed the little girl's head, not knowing how to explain.

"Pfft..."

Seeing Shen Lang's embarrassed appearance, Xia Shuyi suddenly laughed. She gave Shen Lang a gentle, reproachful look, then spoke to the little girl.

"Mengmeng, go get your schoolbag. It's time to go to tutoring class."

After the little girl left the bedroom, the two exchanged a knowing glance before quickly looking away.

Xia Shuyi also began to replay everything in disbelief.

If Mengmeng had not interrupted them just now, would she really have gotten intimate with this grown boy who had only moved in a few days ago?

Xia Shuyi knew she had quite a favorable impression of Shen Lang. She liked this warmhearted and kind grown boy.

Most importantly, he was genuinely good to Mengmeng and knew how to take care of children.

But Xia Shuyi felt that getting intimate after knowing each other for only a few days was far too hasty. No matter what, they should date for a while first!

And why had she agreed just now? Was she really that lonely?

After a moment of silence, Shen Lang casually found a topic to talk about. "Ahem, what kind of tutoring is Mengmeng taking?"

"Piano."

Xia Shuyi replied coolly, and the atmosphere in the room immediately became awkward.

"Um, Sister Xia, I want to..."

"Little Shen, you should get back to your own things first."

Xia Shuyi interrupted Shen Lang, afraid that he would say something to make her stay and that she would not be able to help wavering again. Nervously, she said, "I need to take Mengmeng to her tutoring class."

1: Ask in confusion: Why? Can't you take Mengmeng to tutoring class, then come back and we continue?

2: Confess eagerly: Sister Xia, I like you. I want to be with you. Money doesn't matter. I mainly want to take care of Mengmeng with you!

3: Say goodbye magnanimously: Alright, then I'll be going first. Sister Xia, if you need help with anything in the future, contact me anytime.

"Mm, no problem. Then I'll be going first. Sister Xia, if you need help with anything in the future, contact me anytime."

Shen Lang could tell that Xia Shuyi truly did not want to dwell on what had happened just now.

Besides, Mengmeng was involved now. Xia Shuyi could not possibly neglect her daughter, so he decisively left the bedroom.

Listening to the sound of the front door closing, Xia Shuyi sat on the bed hugging her legs, lost in thought.

"We've only known each other for a few days. I really am crazy!"

Thinking about what had just happened, Xia Shuyi shyly buried her burning red face in her knees.
