With three buttons undone, his pale chest was faintly visible through the gaps in his shirt.
Xie Linchuan: "I want to."
Shen Xingcan nuzzled against Xie Linchuan's chest, his voice soft. "Why don't you look if you want to?"
His eyes were flushed with the characteristic redness of alcohol, and his gaze was shimmering, like spring water.
Xie Linchuan said with a deliberately suppressed calm, "... I can't do anything about it, and I don't want to make things difficult for myself."
Shen Xingcan suddenly tiptoed and whispered in Xie Linchuan's ear, "Why can't I do something? I didn't say you couldn't do it~"
His voice was pleasant, with a touch of warmth that came with the effects of alcohol.
Xie Linchuan's breathing instantly became heavy, and he reached out and tightly wrapped his arms around the waist of the person in his arms.
Shen Xingcan wanted to return to her original position, but Xie Linchuan's action forced her to remain in the tiptoeing position.
Unable to maintain her balance, Shen Xingcan could only lean most of her body against Xie Linchuan.
He was about to speak when his chin was gently lifted, forcing him to meet Xie Linchuan's gaze. "I'll do anything?"
Shen Xingcan blinked. "Of course not, I was just teasing you. If you really did it, I would definitely call the police to arrest and detain you."
Xie Linchuan: "..."
He's a complete jerk, and he's also incredibly arrogant.
" Shen Xingcan, are you trying to entrap me?"
Shen Xingcan: "Hmm, that's somewhat true, but Teacher Xie's character clearly stands the test, and I didn't succeed in enforcing the law."
"Not necessarily."
Just as Shen Xingcan was about to ask something, she felt a warm sensation on her lips.
He froze for a few seconds, then looked up at Xie Linchuan: "You kissed me?"
He'd only kissed him on the cheek before! Why did Xie Linchuan skip over his face and go straight for the lips? He'd promised to pursue him and wait for his consent! Is this how he pursues people?
Xie Linchuan's expression remained unchanged. "Yes, we kissed. Go call the police."
Shen Xingcan gritted her teeth. " Xie Linchuan, you wait. I'll call the police after we get off the ship. You don't need to go home; you'll go straight to the police station."
"Can."
"Your endorsements, everything you have, will be taken away by someone else!"
Xie Linchuan chuckled softly, "It's good that my wife wasn't stolen away."
Shen Xingcan's beautiful peach blossom eyes widened, and she bristled. " Xie Linchuan, what nonsense are you spouting! Get out!"
As she spoke, Shen Xingcan struggled free from Xie Linchuan's embrace and began to push Xie Linchuan forcefully.
Xie Linchuan didn't resist, but was pushed out of the bathroom by Shen Xingcan's force.
Shen Xingcan continued unbuttoning her shirt, and after unbuttoning a few buttons, she suddenly couldn't help but laugh a few times.
Half an hour later, Shen Xingcan, who had enjoyed a comfortable hot bath, came out of the bathroom and saw that Xie Linchuan had also changed into his pajamas and had obviously taken a shower as well.
"Want to go out and see the stars?"
"There are stars?"
Yes, and it's very bright.
Shen Xingcan immediately became interested upon hearing this. "Let's go take a look."
As Xie Linchuan said, the stars outside were so bright that they seemed almost within reach.
Shen Xingcan: "So beautiful."
"Um."
Xie Linchuan draped the thin blanket he was carrying over Shen Xingcan's shoulders.
After standing and looking at the stars for a while, Shen Xingcan turned around and went back to sit on the bench on the balcony to continue watching.
Xie Linchuan naturally sat down next to Shen Xingcan.
Shen Xingcan glanced at Xie Linchuan, then unfolded the blanket she was wearing and draped it over Xie Linchuan.
Just as Xie Linchuan was about to speak, someone suddenly appeared in his arms.
