Yan Ningbai looked in the mirror and pondered for a moment. Who knew what he was thinking about? Then, he ran over to the shampoo boy to wash his hair.

After was.h.i.+ng his hair, he sat on the chair, took out his mobile phone and showed the barber a photo. It was a western male model in the picture who was wearing only a pair of jeans. His hair was grayish with a hint of white and he shaved both sides of his hair. The hair on top of his head was long and it was waxed towards the left side. His fluffy hair seemed to be filled with air as it was being blown upwards and it made him look particularly handsome.

"I want this hairstyle, dye my hair into this color... an old man"s gray color!" Yan Ningbai said.

The barber was left speechless. "…"

Old man"s gray color... It was a rather accurate description.

The children missed their afternoon nap as they spent quite some time eating out during lunch and went for a haircut.

The led the high-spirited children back to the orphanage after their haircut. From afar, they saw a tall figure in a black coat standing at the entrance of the orphanage.

Yan Beicheng had both of his hands inside the pockets of the coat. The black coat enhanced his fair and clean face, which made him seemed even more radiant on a winter day.

The man stood up straight and it had been a week since they have met. 

Moreover, it was right after such intimacy. Now that they have met, Lin Chu felt a little nervous and she did not know how to react naturally. She unconsciously slowed down her pace and grew more nervous as she got closer. 

"It"s my big nephew!" Yan Ningbai shook Lin Chu"s hand who was right next to him. Then, he loosened his grip and urged Lin Chu to hurry over.

The princ.i.p.al stood behind, grouping the children with a loving smile on her face. She was trying to give the two of them some room to talk.

Lin Chu blushed and before she could walk to Yan Beicheng, he had already strode toward her with his long legs. He stopped in front of her and revealed a gentle smile with his thin lips.

"Why didn"t you inform before coming over?" Lin Chu asked in a low voice. She heard how soft her tone was and it felt as if she was not the one who made the sound.

The two of them have never contacted each other ever since she received the text message from the middle of the night. 

"I miss you very much, so I came to pick you up." Yan Beicheng lowered his head and looked at Lin Chu with a gentle smile. As expected, he saw her cheeks turning red from his words.

They have not met for almost a week. Although they did have video calls, it was different from seeing each other in real life. If the kids were not around, he would have hugged and kissed her already. The way she looked when she lowered her head slightly touched his heart. Her fan-like eyelashes felt as if it was brus.h.i.+ng on his heart, which gave him a burning and itchy sensation.

When he was standing at the entrance and saw her walking towards him from afar, he felt indescribably proud. The graceful and gentle woman was his.

He moved his arms slightly that was resting on both sides of his body and moved his fingers forward to hook on her soft fingers. Their action seemed as though they were a pair of a young couple who had just fallen in love, cautious yet equivocal. 

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the good mood. "Big nephew, look at my new hairstyle, do I look handsome?"

Yan Beicheng felt his eyelids trembled slightly and looked at Yan Ningbai"s new look. Yan Ningbai was particularly proud of it. From time to time, he would raise his hand to touch his hair.

"..." Yan Beicheng laughed out loud and said, "You"ll get a beating when you reached home."

This brat who ruined the good mood!

Yan Ningbai was speechless. "..."

The princ.i.p.al noticed that this was their reunion, so she did not ask Lin Chu to stay. Initially, she wanted to ask Lin Chu to stay a night. However, seeing how eager yet embarra.s.sed the young couple wanted to be together, she sent them away.

Instead of sending Yan Ningbai back to the mansion, Yan Beicheng sent him directly to the residential area of Yan Huaian"s home, Sheng City. This was the residential area that Yan Hui invested and developed. It was connected to the residential area where Yan Beicheng stayed in, and the connection was meant for great prosperity. 

Yu Zi was home at that time and when she saw Lin Chu, she insisted that they stayed for dinner. 

"Lin Chu made dinner the last time in Ding City, so it is my turn this time." Yu Zi said.

Therefore, Yan Beicheng and Lin Chu did not refuse and stayed.

Yu Zi hustled in the kitchen. Lin Chu wanted to help, but Yu Zi chased her out. Thus, she could only sit in the living room"s sofa together with Yan Beicheng.

Yan Beicheng secretly glanced at Lin Chu from the corners of his eyes. She seemed to be very focused on the advertis.e.m.e.nt the TV was playing. Then, he moved closer to her and leaned right next to her.

Lin Chu was stunned, and she was extremely embarra.s.sed. She was thinking about moving away and when she was about to do it, he grabbed her waist. Then, he reached his other hand over to grab hers and crossed their fingers.

Lin Chu peeked at Yan Huaian embarra.s.singly and saw him picking up Yan Ningbai. It seemed like he was talking to himself. "Son, let"s go pee. We didn"t see anything at all, yeah!"

"Dad, do I look handsome in my new haircut?" Yan Ningbai did not forget to ask.

"Handsome, just like a little old man," Yan Huaian said insincerely. "After your big nephew and daughter-in-law leaves, you will get a beating from your mom!"

Yan Ningbai was speechless, "..."

"Stop fooling around. How embarra.s.sing would it be if someone sees it." Lin Chu said softly when they were the only ones left in the living room. 

"I"m not fooling around, I just miss you. My mind will only be at peace when I hold you in my arms," Yan Beicheng said. Taking the opportunity that n.o.body was around, he quickly pecked on her lips. 

Coincidently, Yu Zi saw them while she was bringing out the dishes. She acted as if nothing had happened and looked up at the ceiling. "I was looking at the crack on the ceiling and I didn"t see anything at all!"

Lin Chu did not say anything. "..."

Since when was there a crack in the ceiling.

"Okay, okay, let"s eat. You both can continue when you get home." Yan Huaian appeared again carrying Yan Ningbai.

The entire night, Lin Chu was being made fun of constantly by that couple.

That night when they left Sheng City and returned to Lin Chu"s house, Yan Beicheng would habitually look up to see if the lights were on.

"Xu Moyan is not at home?" Yan Beicheng asked.

"She is on a business trip. She"ll be back the day after tomorrow," Lin Chu explained.

Yan Beicheng glanced up and adverted his gaze, saying briefly, "I"ll walk you up."

Lin Chu knew that there was no point in refusing based on his temperament. She agreed to it and got off the car with Yan Beicheng.

Lin Chu began to look for her key to open the unit"s door. Then, she saw Yan Beicheng standing next to her, blocking the streetlights and the moonlight. The night sky on top of her head was extremely large, but Yan Beicheng"s presence was so strong as if he had shrouded her entirely in her arms.

Even with her head down, she could feel his burning eyes staring at her.

Lin Chu forced herself to remain calm while she opened the door. The lights inside were powered by a sensor system and Lin Chu would usually stomp on her feet to turn on the lights. However, with Yan Beicheng guarding by her side, she could feel his presence even when it was pitch dark. The faint smell of his cologne was pleasant, and it made her felt at ease.

Yan Beicheng pressed on the elevator b.u.t.ton before she could do it. He had never allowed her to do so when the two of them were in the elevator together.

He said that there were a lot of bacteria on the b.u.t.tons as many people had touched it. Therefore, he never allowed her to touch the b.u.t.tons. 

When the elevator"s door opened, Yan Beicheng reached his hand out to stop the door for her to enter first and he followed behind.

Right from the start, Yan Beicheng"s gaze was fixed on Lin Chu"s face, which was burning intensely.

The moment the elevator"s door closed, Yan Beicheng launched himself at her. Lin Chu was not prepared and she was suddenly hugged tightly by him. He pushed her against the elevator"s wall and pressed his lips against her violently, pus.h.i.+ng his tongue into her mouth and intertwined his with hers. The fresh taste in his mouth was being pa.s.sed into her mouth.

Lin Chu began to feel her brain turning blank. All she could hear was the sound of her lips brus.h.i.+ng against his and her own heart beating very strongly. 

Yan Beicheng reluctantly loosened his hug slightly, still not willing to let go of her. He caressed her back and said, "Ever since I"ve returned, I haven"t looked at you properly."

He lowered his head and his dark gaze stared at her face meticulously without missing an inch. He slowly looked from her hairline to every single vein on her forehead, then to her eyebrows and her eyes. He suddenly stopped, as if he was counting her eyelashes.

After a while, he moved downwards to look at her cheeks, the tip of her nose, her chin, and back to her lips.

Lin Chu was getting nervous with him staring and she could not help but tremble.

"You...stop looking…" Lin Chu said with her lips trembling. She was extremely nervous with him staring. 

She did not even notice that the elevator"s door had opened until Yan Beicheng carried her out. Soon, they arrived in front of her house.

Yan Beicheng took the keys from her hand. Lin Chu was in a daze from being stared at by Yan Beicheng and she did not even notice what Yan 

Beicheng was doing. Yan Beicheng opened the door but he was still staring firmly at her.

Not long after, Lin Chu heard the sound of the door closing. Before she could say anything, she was being kissed again by Yan Beicheng and was being pushed onto the bed. 

"Right after I returned from Hainan, I went on a business trip. Therefore, I didn"t get to take a good look at you, and I couldn"t be with you." Yan 

Beicheng stroked her hair with his slender long fingers and traced the contour of her face lightly with his fingertips.

"I missed you very much when I was away," Yan Beicheng said with a hoa.r.s.e voice. "Especially when I was lying in bed at night. I couldn"t sleep at all because I was thinking about you. It hurts here."

Yan Beicheng moved her hand downwards and pressed it on his bottom.

Lin Chu gasped and heard Yan Beicheng asked, "Do you miss me?"

He was so close to her that their lips were almost touching. When he spoke, his hot breath blew onto her face and she turned bright red.

Lin Chu"s hand was still there with his burning, hot palm wrapped around hers. Although her hand was trembling intensely, she kept her hand there to feel him. It was very bold of her, as she dared not do it previously.

"After you returned from Hainan, you went on a business trip right away. However, you told me that you wanted to bring me to visit your grandparents, so it stopped me from thinking nonsense when you were away. I know that you wanted to make me feel at ease. Thanks to you, I am relieved, and I feel very safe. I wasn"t worried, but I miss you very much because of this." Lin Chu held his hand that was caressing her cheek.

"Yan Beicheng, before you, I never believed that a man could be this meticulous to a woman. Also, I didn"t think that a person could make me feel so safe. Moreover, I never thought that someone would treat me the way you do and care for me to this extent. I couldn"t believe that I would miss someone so much as I"ve never felt like this before. I didn"t think about nonsense, all I did was miss you. I wanted you to come back soon and I want to be with you always. I never thought that I would like a person to this extent. I like you very, very much. I like you so much that if you were to stop liking me, I"m afraid that I will never like someone else."

Lin Chu raised her hand to caress his handsome face gently. She did not know if it was because of what she said, but Yan Beicheng"s face was turning a little red and his eyes were frighteningly dark.

Lin Chu"s eyelashes were fluttering slightly as if they were being burned by Yan Beicheng"s intense gaze.

"I"m not good with words. I feel like I"ve always had this feeling, but I never noticed it. Nonetheless, this time when you"re on a business trip, this feeling was clearer and stronger. I only understood it when you"re not by my side," Lin Chu said. 

Yan Beicheng took a deep breath as he could no longer hold it in anymore and kissed her forcefully. They were only this intimate once because it was her first time on the island that night and he dared not go overboard. Even though he coaxed her into doing it again the next morning, he restrained himself as she had not fully recovered yet.

Moreover, Lin Chu constantly reminded that everyone was waiting, and they need to return as soon as possible. Thus, they had to pack their luggage to catch the afternoon flight and Yan Beicheng did not enjoy himself fully.

After what they have both experienced, all they wanted was to stay together and be intimate with each other. However, Yan Beicheng had to go on a business trip. During the few days when he was away, he missed Lin Chu very much.

Even when he was dreaming at night, he dreamt about her several times and noticed that his bed was wet when he woke up in the morning. He did not know if he was being oversensitive or not, but he felt that the waiters were looking at him weirdly.

At this moment, Yan Beicheng felt as though his heart was about to jump out of his chest with Lin Chu in his arms. He held her tightly and was unwilling to let go. Lin Chu began to feel as though her body was burning and there were electric shocks. Along with the movement of his palms, she felt a burning sensation, up until the moment his manhood was pressing against her entrance. Through her misty eyes, she saw the sweat on Yan Beicheng"s forehead dripping onto her chest. The moment her skin was burned by the drop of sweat, he slammed his manhood inside of her.

"..." Lin Chu felt her brain turning blank for a brief moment. Then, she subconsciously held on to Yan Beicheng tightly, as if she was floating among huge waves and Yan Beicheng was the only life-saving driftwood. If she did not hold onto him tightly, she would be drifted away.

Lin Chu buried her face into the nape of his neck and inhaled the smell of his body. Since he was sweating, he did not smell as fresh as he used to be. Even so, his intense male hormones gave off another unique scent. Lin Chu"s heart could not help but softened from the inhaling his scent.

After confessing her feelings, the chemistry between them got even stronger. Lin Chu"s feelings for Yan Beicheng was so intense that she wished to be in his arms forever.

In the morning, Yan Beicheng woke up gradually in a daze. He felt a softness in his arms. He smelt a familiar, sweet scent that was not present when he was sleeping alone previously. 

His long lashes flicked gently for a few times before he opened his eyes. When he saw Lin Chu sleeping soundly in his arms, his cold dark gaze became extremely gentle. 

Lin Chu was in a deep sleep. Her cheeks were flushed, and she looked beautiful. Her calm and steady breath was blowing onto his chest, and it was warm yet itchy. 

While Lin Chu was sleeping soundly, she felt a slight itch on her eyes, the tip of her nose, and soon, her lips. 

She rubbed her eyes lazily and blinked twice before opening her eyes fully. When she saw Yan Beicheng, she was stunned. Only after a while, she remembered why he was here.

Seeing that she had woken up, Yan Beicheng held her tightly. He caressed her entire body and was particularly satisfied. Lastly, he planted a kiss on her lips.

Lin Chu was shocked, and she quickly covered her mouth. "It"s smelly."

"Who"s smelly?" Yan Beicheng raised an eyebrow.

"I was referring to myself." Lin Chu exhaled into her palms and said, "I"ve slept the entire night, so how could it be possible to not have a bad smell? It smells bad."

"I don"t mind. We need to continue doing this in the future, smelling each other"s odor in the morning after sleeping the whole night." Yan Beicheng withdrew his arm to pull her hand down. Then, he planted another kiss on her lips and pierced his tongue in between her lips no matter what.

Lin Chu"s face was burning intensely because of what he did. Just imagining the odor in her mouth after an entire night, she felt extremely uncomfortable. However, what he said sounded disgusting yet interesting. She did not expect him to say those words, making it sound like a fetish of his. 

After Yan Beicheng finished talking, he stared at her without blinking.

Lin Chu dared not move around while she was still in his embrace. Then, she boldly reached her hand to poke his firm waist with her soft fingertip.

"Don"t stare at me like this," Lin Chu said while blus.h.i.+ng.
