Jiang Lele quickly turned her face away, seeking the approval of the others.
Chen Anyan received the signal and slowly replied, "Yeah, I like what you like too."
Jiang Lele hid her middle finger behind her back and secretly gave it to the man who was trying to exploit the situation.
"Indeed..." Fang Jin glanced at Shen Xunye, who was brewing a dark expression, and finally spoke up, "I also like Chi Li."
[This is only human nature.]
I like Chi Li too! (Very loudly)
[Excuse my bluntness, but anyone who dislikes Chi Li has no taste.]
[People who like Chi Li line up all the way to France!]
[However, Su Yuan's failure has absolutely nothing to do with Chi Li, so why bring this up all of a sudden? [laughing and crying emoji]]
[Because losing to Chi Li isn't shameful to admit. [winking emoji]]
Jiang Lele continued to call out names with her eyes.
Wei Xuan, who had been called out, was about to speak when Shen Xunye interrupted him. "To avoid wasting Chi Li's time, those who like him can come to me, but I'm turning them all down."
Wei Xuan: "..."
Thankfully, he didn't say anything yet.
"Alright." Chi Li was both amused and exasperated. He stood up, stretched, and glanced at Su Yuan sideways. "Your business is your business. Don't drag me, an unrelated person, into this."
After saying that, he walked away.
Before catching up, Shen Xunye gave each of the people who had said they liked him a warning look.
Not long after Chi Li left, the people sent by Su Yuan's company to handle the situation arrived.
They took him away, apologized to the viewers through the live stream, and presented Su Yuan's psychological treatment report, stating that they would closely supervise his treatment and temporarily suspend all work until he recovered.
This approach minimized the negative impact of Su Yuan's actions.
Those who witnessed the whole farce breathed a sigh of relief.
Besides Su Yuan himself, the person who suffered the most from Su Yuan's departure was Shen Xunye.
He waited anxiously until the live stream ended, and just as he brought Chi Li back to his room, thinking he could get through the night, Jiang Yue, who had tidied the room, kindly brought a new notification:
" Chi Li, I've moved over there. You can go back to your own room now."
Chi Li, who was standing in front of the table looking down at her online classes, nodded to indicate that she understood.
Jiang Yue glanced at Shen Xunye, who was glaring at him inexplicably, then ignored him and continued talking to Chi Li: "I originally had a lot to discuss with you, but too much happened today... so let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Okay." Chi Li turned her head to look at him and waved gently. "Sweet dreams."
Jiang Yue: "... Sweet dreams."
After Jiang Yue left, Shen Xunye locked the door from the inside, then slowly reached his arms over Chi Li's slender waist from both sides of his body, and then closed them with an undeniable force.
This was a full hug from behind.
His chest pressed against hers immediately afterward.
Warm and firm, with a steady heartbeat and rhythmic breathing, it clung tightly to Chi Li's thin back.
"I want sweet dreams too," Shen Xunye said, sounding aggrieved.
He gently rested his chin on Chi Li's right shoulder, brushing against the skin of his shoulder through a thin layer of clothing.
Chi Li felt as if she were being completely surrounded from behind by a large canine.
Warmth, safety, nowhere to escape.
He said somewhat perfunctorily, "Then I wish you sweet dreams too."
"If you don't sleep with me tonight, I probably won't have a good dream." Shen Xunye nuzzled Chi Li's shoulder with his chin again.
Chi Li: "..."
So she was afraid he'd go back to his own room to sleep.
Chi Li couldn't help but tease him, "It's okay, good dreams and bad dreams are just dreams anyway."
"... You're so cruel." Shen Xunye tilted his head and pressed his lips to Chi Li's slightly reddened, delicate earlobe. "You let other men have sweet dreams, while you let your kissing partner have nightmares."
This simple touch felt like a tiny electric current, instantly coursing through Chi Li's entire body from his earlobe.
Fearing Shen Xunye would notice something amiss, he made a struggling motion. "Alright, I won't let you have a bad dream. I've already brought the clothes... Let me go first."
Shen Xunye chuckled softly, but did not let go of her hand.
He moved downwards very slowly, little by little, following the contours of Chi Li's earlobe.
Chi Li closed her eyes, her hand on the table unconsciously clenching the corner of the tablecloth, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Her body involuntarily leaned back, pressing even closer to Shen Xunye's chest.
It's as if they're seeking support, or perhaps unconsciously conforming.
After lightly kissing around Chi Li's neck, Shen Xunye moved his lips slowly upwards, pressing against Chi Li's burning skin, and returned to his ear.
His hot breath sprayed directly onto Chi Li's sensitive ears.
Shen Xunye's voice, low and sensual with desire, whispered in his ear, "Turn around."
It wasn't a request, it was a command.
Chi Li's legs felt weak, and upon hearing this, almost instinctively, she obediently turned around with difficulty, guided by Shen Xunye's arm.
He tilted his head back, his eyes were wet, his cheeks were flushed, his lips were slightly parted, and he was breathing softly.
Shen Xunye lowered his eyes, looking at Chi Li's unguarded yet incredibly alluring appearance, and without any hesitation, kissed his lips.
This kiss was different from the lingering caresses on the back of the neck just now; it was more direct, more profound, and filled with a stronger, undeniable possessiveness.
In the silent room, only the Weishui gurgling of their lips and tongues entwined, and their increasingly synchronized, heavy, and hot breaths could be heard.
Meeting this guy with such a strong presence again, Chi Li didn't even feel any surprise.
"I'm going to take a shower first." Shen Xunye casually, as if demonstrating something perfectly natural. "Wait a minute."
Chi Li opened the online course she was halfway through, maintaining a glamorous expression, and continued watching. "Hmm."
The faint, continuous sound of running water from the bathroom, along with the audio of his online class, reached his ears.
Once the progress bar on the screen reached the end, the bathroom door was opened.
Chi Li glanced over instinctively.
First, a cloud of warm steam, carrying the fresh scent of shower gel, billowed out and quickly spread throughout the room.
Immediately, a tall and imposing figure stepped out.
Shen Xunye wasn't wearing pajamas; he only had a dark cotton bath towel wrapped loosely around his waist.
The edge of the bath towel barely covered the top of her thighs, revealing the entire length of her strong, shapely thighs.
His upper body was completely bare, with broad, straight shoulders like meticulously sculpted mountains, connecting to firm, full pectoral muscles.
Below the pectoral muscles are neatly arranged abdominal muscles, exuding a restrained yet powerful sense of strength.
The lines of the V-line are deeply embedded in the edge of the bath towel, inspiring endless imagination.
Chi Li's cheeks flushed instantly.
