Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Lingyan moved a little closer to him.

Before he could react, she rested her head on his shoulder, closed her eyes, and whispered, "I'm a little tired. Let me rest on your shoulder for a while."

Chu Xiyao's body was stiff and his blood had congealed.

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest, and my breathing became heavy and erratic.

He tried to calm the turmoil in his heart, only to find himself already trapped in this sudden intimacy, unable to extricate himself.

His face, neck, and even his ears were flushed, like the clouds dyed red by the setting sun, fiery and vibrant.

She actually...

So unconcerned with details.

This completely threw his mind into turmoil.

Then he gently turned his head to look at the person who was very close to him.

This was the first time he had ever been this close to her.

His gaze was tender as he looked at her, her eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, casting soft shadows on her fair skin.

Her delicate features were beautiful and charming, and her cheeks were flushed with a faint blush, as lovely and delicate as a blooming peach blossom.

A few strands of hair playfully fell across her forehead, adding a touch of casualness and liveliness to her appearance.

His heart suddenly raced, as if a million butterflies were fluttering in his chest.

He knew that this was the feeling of being moved, so intense and so irresistible.

He had never looked at her so closely before. She was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her, so beautiful that he even held his breath carefully, afraid of disturbing this peaceful beauty.

Then he couldn't help but raise his hand, wanting to gently brush away those few strands of hair, but he stopped just before his fingertips touched her skin, afraid that his actions would wake her.

At this moment, Chu Xiyao felt as if the whole world had stopped. Only the woman in front of him could stir endless ripples in his heart, making him incredibly moved and fond of her.

As the sun slowly sank in the west, it painted the sky a blend of orange-red and deep purple.

As the colors fade, the curtain of night slowly rises, enveloping the mountains, rivers, and earth with tranquility and profundity.

The riverbank was quiet and profound at this moment.

Before anyone knew it, dark clouds quietly gathered, obscuring even the last remaining glimmer of starlight.

The wind began to wander restlessly, carrying a hint of coolness.

Then, sparse raindrops gently tapped the ground, as if it were the prelude to the night.

Upon seeing this, Chu Xiyao immediately and urgently woke Lingyan up so they could get out of the rain.

Lingyan was woken up and opened her eyes.

By this time, the rain had intensified, with dense raindrops pattering down and splashing countless water droplets on the river surface.

Chu Xiyao was in a hurry and didn't care about etiquette.

He immediately took off his outer robe and placed it over Lingyan's head.

Then he grabbed her and ran to find a nearby cave to take shelter from the rain.

At this moment, large raindrops pounded against everything around them, making a noisy and rapid sound.

Fortunately, they were lucky and soon found a cave.

The two immediately ran into a cave to take shelter from the rain.

As soon as they entered the cave, Chu Xiyao quickly helped her sit down in a dry spot.

Then Chu Xiyao asked with concern, "Are you cold?" His voice was filled with anxiety.

Ling Yan nodded slightly and said, "A little."

Without saying a word, Chu Xiyao began searching for materials to start a fire in the cave.

Fortunately, he found some dry branches and leaves in the corner.

He took out a tinderbox from his pocket and successfully started a fire.

The flames leaped, bringing warmth and light.

The two then sat down near the fire, and Chu Xiyao began to dry his already soaked outer robe.

Ling Yan's clothes were also half wet, while Chu Xiyao's were completely soaked.

Chu Xiyao originally wanted her to take off her clothes to dry, but he was afraid that she would think he had some bad intentions, so he hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should speak up.

Lingyan, however, felt quite helpless.

Chu Xiyao, I hate that you're such a blockhead.

At such a perfect opportunity, don't you like me? Why are you keeping your head down, not daring to look at me or say anything?

A lone man and a woman, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, are alone in a room together, and this is your reaction?

The atmosphere between the two was incredibly silent, with only the sound of rain and the crackling of burning firewood outside.

After a while, Chu Xiyao finally tentatively asked, "Why don't you take off your clothes and dry them in the sun? Otherwise, you might get sick if you wear them. Don't worry, I'll stand guard at the door with my back to you and I won't peek. I swear."

Lingyan looked at him and thought: You finally spoke.

But her clothes were completely dry in just a short time she sat by the fire!

It's no longer necessary.

So she declined, saying, "No need."

But Chu Xiyao heard this and felt that she didn't believe him.

He was utterly dejected, and lowered his head with a bitter smile.

Then he saw that his outer robe had dried. Although he was soaked, he couldn't just take off his clothes to dry them while she was there.

So he got up and tried to put his outer robe aside.

Lingyan also got up.

Then Chu Xiyao walked to a patch of dry grass and spread out his outer robe.

Lingyan also walked up to him.

Then she went up to him and approached him.

But just as she was about to get close to him, she deliberately slipped, her body swaying slightly, as if she had really lost her balance.

Chu Xiyao was shocked to see this.

He immediately darted forward, stretched out his arms, and steadily supported her.

However, Ling Yan suddenly pretended to be panicked and subtly shifted her feet.

With a gentle hook, Chu Xiyao, caught off guard, stumbled from the sudden trip.

He tried to steady himself, but it was too late; he was thrown forward uncontrollably.

The two then both fell to the ground.

Chu Xiyao even lay on top of Ling Yan.

His lips accidentally touched Lingyan's slender and warm neck.

In that instant, it felt as if a subtle electric current was coursing through his entire body.

His mind went completely blank for a moment, and he froze on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Xiyao could clearly feel his heart pounding wildly in his chest, one beat after another, like rapid drumbeats, almost bursting out of his chest.

His breathing became rapid and disordered, and his hot breath sprayed onto Lingyan's skin.

Chu Xiyao's face flushed red instantly, and an unprecedented sense of panic and tension overwhelmed him.

He wanted to get up immediately, but it was as if he had been frozen in place, and his body was completely out of his control.

The faint fragrance emanating from Lingyan's neck lingered around his nose, making him even more infatuated.

His eyes became unfocused, and his body trembled slightly involuntarily, as if he were surrounded by a blazing fire.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment. In Chu Xiyao's world, there was only the thunderous pounding of his own heart and Ling Yan's beautiful face so close to his.

At this moment, Lingyan felt the tension on the person on top of her and deliberately said in a coquettish voice, "You're hurting me."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiyao immediately looked up at her and asked anxiously, "Where are you hurt?"

Ling Yan smiled meaningfully and replied, "What do you think?"

Instantly, Chu Xiyao's body stiffened even more, and he remained completely still.

Then I felt so ashamed and indignant that I couldn't face her.

He was panicked, helpless, and scared, and had no idea how to react. He could only stand there like a puppet, unable to think straight.

Seeing this, Lingyan smiled even more brightly and ambiguously, deliberately leaning closer to his ear and teasingly saying, "I didn't expect your reaction to be so strong!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiyao felt even more ashamed and wished he could disappear into the ground.

Then Lingyan teased with a smile, "That's right, it's the age when one is full of vigor and vitality. If there is no reaction at all, then that would be abnormal."

Chu Xiyao's face seemed to be set ablaze by her words, the blush spreading rapidly from her cheeks to her neck and then to the tips of her ears, her bright red appearance resembling that of a ripe apple.

He kept his head down, not daring to look up at her or meet her gaze.

Lingyan then teased him, saying, "You look so cute."

Chu Xiyao was completely at a loss, not knowing what to say or do.

Lingyan looked at the person who was now completely embarrassed and stopped teasing him.

Instead, he teased again, "What, aren't you getting up? Do you want to hug me all night? Can't bear to part with me?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiyao thought to himself: Indeed, I am reluctant to part with it.
