When they got out of the car and headed home.
Shen Jin clung to Yun Xiaoran in a half embrace, refusing to let go and mumbling something he couldn't make out.
Helpless, Yun Xiaoran could only let her cling to him.
And once Shen Jin caught his scent, she seemed to grow even more uncontrollable.
After her attempt to burrow into his arms in the car had failed, Yun Xiaoran simply carried her on his back to stop her from getting handsy again.
Luckily, Shen Jin wasn't particularly heavy. Though she stood nearly 178 centimeters tall in heels, she weighed only a little over fifty kilograms.
She would have been even lighter if Yun Xiaoran hadn't spent the past month feeding her.
But once she was on his back, Yun Xiaoran felt he would have been better off letting her cling to him. Her head had ended up resting right beside his ear.
"Hah... hah..."
Yun Xiaoran could distinctly feel the warmth of every breath she took and smell her delicate fragrance. It sent his thoughts wandering, and he took a deep breath, forcing himself to suppress his reaction. Her warm breath felt like a heated feather constantly brushing his ear, an itch he couldn't scratch.
Her slender, pale arms were wrapped tightly around him, refusing to let go.
Meanwhile, she slept soundly, utterly indifferent to his plight.
Yet, although the stairwell was deserted, listening to her soft, steady breathing beside his ear filled Yun Xiaoran with an immense sense of peace.
By the time they reached home, Yun Xiaoran was exhausted and sleepy.
"Time to get down."
Yun Xiaoran spoke softly, gently jostling the sleeping Shen Jin on his back.
Shen Jin didn't seem to notice the movement. She merely frowned and pursed her lips slightly.
