Chapter 160
……
The next day, at nine in the morning.
Chocolate groggily woke up from her sleep, the first thing she felt was a sore and weak feeling in her body.
She shifted her body slightly, and the remaining sleepiness was immediately dispelled by the soreness.
At the same time, those chaotic memories from last night flooded back into my mind...
'How could this be so exaggerated...'
Chocolate forcibly interrupted her recollection halfway through... After all, those scenes were simply too indescribable; just replaying them in her mind made her blush several shades red.
Even so, several scenes still left a deep impression on her.
It took Chocolate a while to suppress these memories. Then, enduring the soreness in her body, she glanced to her right and froze.
There was no one beside her, and judging from the coldness of the sheets, the other person had obviously been gone for a while.
Chocolate is a girl who values "first time" and "ritual". In her original plan, this kind of thing could only happen after marriage, and she would wake up the next day lying in her partner's arms, feeling his body temperature and breath.
It now appears that neither of these wishes has come true.
At the same time, several other questions came to Chocolate's mind.
'What will he think of me next? Will he think I'm some kind of pervert?'
"Also, I just broke up with him yesterday, and I already slept with him. Won't that make him think I'm a very promiscuous person?"
A variety of questions flooded Chocolate's mind, and she inwardly berated herself for her reckless behavior the night before.
At this moment, Chocolate was filled with worry. The only thing that could offer her some comfort was the bright red plum blossom on the bed sheet.
'Boys will always care more about a girl's first time,' Chocolate thought to herself, but the feeling of loss in her heart grew stronger.
until……
"Knock, knock, knock." A knocking sound rang out on the door.
"Huh?" Chocolate paused for a moment, then quickly said, "Please come in."
The next second, the door opened and Chen Yan walked in.
Everyone loves beauty, so the first thing Chocolate noticed was Chen Yan's appearance today.
His outfit today might easily make some people exclaim, "Young people just have a lot of energy!"—a black short-sleeved shirt paired with loose black pants, his cold resistance is practically zero.
Because he had just exercised, Chen Yan was covered in sweat, and his short-sleeved shirt was almost completely clinging to his body, outlining his near-perfect muscle curves.
Chocolate couldn't help but swallow, which lessened her sense of loss considerably.
Of course, after the initial amazement, Chocolate was also afraid that Chen Yan would "bring up the old story again."
If the other party asks about the phone from last night, Chocolate feels like she can just leave Earth and find another place to live.
Fortunately, Chen Yan didn't seem to have any intention of asking that question.
"Are you still feeling unwell?" Chen Yan placed a bowl of packaged porridge on the bedside table, his voice gentle, giving Chocolate a feeling of a spring breeze.
This "spring breeze" completely dispelled the little melancholy she already felt.
"My legs are a bit sore, I probably won't be able to get up today," Chocolate replied softly. "The rest is fine, although they are a little sore, but I don't feel like there's anything wrong with them."
"Okay." Chen Yan nodded, then opened the packaging bag, handed the porridge box to Chocolate, and said, "I packed a bowl of porridge for you on my way back from my morning exercise this morning."
"Mmm." Chocolate was also a little hungry now. After all, she had exercised a lot last night, and her stomach was almost empty. It was fine when she didn't see any food, but as soon as she saw food, her stomach immediately started growling.
"You eat first, I'll go get the computer." Chen Yan stood up, preparing to go get the laptop from the study to work.
"Are you going to work in the bedroom?" Chocolate didn't quite catch it for a moment and blurted out instinctively.
"Okay, I'll keep you company this morning." Chen Yan felt that being "heartless after pulling out" was a bit too much. She had experienced her first time last night, so he should take care of her feelings a little.
"Okay, okay." Chocolate was pleasantly surprised and wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, so she could only watch Chen Yan walk towards the study. The sense of loss that had been lingering in her heart had now vanished, replaced by a faint feeling of warmth.
He's taking care of my feelings, so he still cares about me a little, right?
……
Last night's exercise was really excessive, and coupled with insufficient sleep, Chocolate couldn't keep up even with "power saving mode" on after struggling through the morning. She fell into a deep sleep after lunch.
Chen Yan had no intention of spending the afternoon with Chocolate. After leaving a message for Chocolate, he went out and drove towards Jianghai University.
Although he exercised quite a bit last night, it wasn't a burden for Chen Yan at all, and he will continue his calligraphy practice this afternoon.
When he arrived at the gate of Jianghai University, Lin Zhixi had already arrived ahead of him.
She was wearing a black baseball cap today, and her outfit was quite similar to Chen Yan's, both dressed in black. However, Chen Yan wore a black short-sleeved shirt and long pants, while she wore a black sweatshirt.
Her dark-colored outfit, combined with her naturally aloof demeanor, attracted a lot of attention, but no one dared to approach her.
Chen Yan opened the car door and saw the other person standing in the shadows playing on her phone. He called out, "Lin Zhixi."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Zhixi looked up, immediately located Chen Yan's position, waved, and a smile appeared on her cool face.
It has to be said that Lin Zhixi's smile is very beautiful, which subconsciously reminded Chen Yan of the snow lotus on the snow mountain, causing a certain "beauty attack".
Of course, since the two of them spend so much time together, Chen Yan has developed a certain resistance to her "beauty attack," and he came to his senses after being stunned for about a second.
'Damn it, I feel like the longer I spend with this guy, the more resistant I am to beautiful women.' Chen Yan thought to himself, watching Lin Zhixi run to the passenger side, open the door, and get in.
"What were you busy with this morning? I invited you to lunch but you didn't come." Lin Zhixi fastened her seatbelt and casually said, "You didn't stay up too late with your girlfriend last night and couldn't get up this morning, did you?"
"Hmm..." Chen Yan pondered for a moment and said, "You're half right. It is indeed a bit late, but it's not my girlfriend."
He really had no intention of pretending in front of Lin Zhixi. After all, he didn't want to hurt her, had no financial dealings with her, and had no desire to get anything from her, so there was really no need to pretend.
Even if you can pretend for a while, people will eventually see through it after spending time together, so it's better to be open and honest from the start.
The reasons mentioned above account for 90%, and of course, there is another 10% reason: Chen Yan is also a little afraid that if the two spend more time together, their relationship will develop in a deeper direction.
Admitting to one's scumbag personality is, from any perspective, more beneficial than harmful.
Lin Zhixi wasn't too surprised by this. After all, the two had known each other for so long, and she was a rather perceptive person. She had already noticed in their previous interactions that Chen Yan didn't take romantic relationships very seriously.
Moreover, Chen Yan is outstanding in terms of both appearance and ability.
In Lin Zhixi's view, there are only two possibilities for someone like Chen Yan in terms of relationships.
The first type is to completely disregard emotions and focus all energy on one's own goals, becoming the kind of person who is "emotionless and ruthless when drawing a sword."
The second type is someone who, with abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people, becomes a playboy who mingles in the dating scene, passing through a sea of flowers without getting attached to anyone.
The likelihood of such a person properly maintaining a relationship is no greater than that of a sow climbing a tree.
Having already anticipated this, Lin Zhixi didn't show any overt reaction to Chen Yan's words. She simply asked, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone:
"You're quite persistent; you even came to pick me up in the middle of the day so we could practice calligraphy together."
Chen Yan did not answer, but gave Lin Zhixi a strange look.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Don't you think your question is a bit stupid?" Chen Yan said quite directly. "Or do you think I'm an idiot who would give up my original rhythm of life and self-improvement for a relationship that has absolutely no security?"
Lin Zhixi blinked, suddenly realizing that her question was indeed a bit stupid.
How could someone who doesn't care about romantic relationships possibly give up their schedule for someone else?
After a moment of self-mockery, Lin Zhixi updated her impression of Chen Yan.
He went from being a very capable scumbag to being a very capable and determined scumbag.
