Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Chen Dong gently took Chu Mengran's hand; her hand was large and warm.

Chu Mengran's hands were slender and soft, her fingers held tightly in his grasp, as if she had found a safe haven.

The two walked side by side toward the only hotel in Nanjiang County.

Chu Mengran's heart raced again, her mind filled with conflict and turmoil.

She paused slightly, slowed her pace, and felt a struggle within her.

On the one hand, she knew that walking with Chen Dong and going to the hotel together like this seemed to be progressing a little too quickly.

On the other hand, she was reluctant to part with Chen Dong, and this sweet feeling intoxicated her.

However, in the end, she let Chen Dong lead her into the hotel.

Chen Dong was also a little nervous at the hotel front desk.

His hands trembled slightly, and he could barely hold the bank card.

When checking in, his hand trembled and he almost dropped the room key on the ground.

In that instant, he seemed to snap out of his sweet reverie and realize the environment they were in.

But soon he realized he could no longer hesitate.

So I took a deep breath, tried to calm my somewhat excited emotions, and finally got the room key.

Chen Dong led Chu Mengran, who was blushing and keeping her head down in silence, to the room via elevator.

The elevator slowly ascended, accompanied by a slight creaking sound, and the two people's heartbeats seemed to quicken with the rhythm.

Chu Mengran's mind was a jumbled mess, a jumble of thoughts intertwined.

As soon as she entered the room, her heart started beating even faster, the rapid pounding sound seeming to burst out of her chest.

Chu Mengran nervously glanced around the room.

The room was decorated in a warm and comfortable style, with a huge bed taking up most of the space.

The pattern on the bed sheet was somewhat intricate, resembling a mysterious painting.

She instinctively wanted to find a place to hide, but the room was so small that there seemed to be nowhere to hide.

Chu Mengran turned around to face Chen Dong, her face flushed, her head lowered, and she said softly, "Chen Dong, aren't we moving too fast like this?"

Her eyes were filled with confusion and unease, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes, her slender fingers turning slightly white from the force.

Chen Dong felt heartbroken when he saw Chu Mengran's appearance.

He slowly released Chu Mengran's hand, walked gently to her, and placed his hands lightly on her shoulders.

His eyes were full of deep affection and determination, as if he wanted to envelop Chu Mengran in his love.

Chen Dong bent down, looked tenderly into her eyes, and said softly, "Meng Ran, it's been almost a year since you agreed to be my girlfriend."

"We've been through so much together this year."

"I still remember the first time we met, your smile was like the spring sunshine, warm and bright, instantly illuminating my world."

"Later, we waited together at the beach for the sunrise, and the red sun slowly rose from the sea."

"Golden light shines on us, just like our future is full of hope."

"And that time you were sick, I stayed by your bedside."

Seeing how weak yet strong you are, I secretly vowed to always protect you and never let you get hurt.

"Those days we spent together were filled with laughter. We chased and played together in the park, and our laughter filled every corner."

"There have been tears. When we argued over something trivial, our tears were filled with our reluctance to part and our dependence on each other."

"Every moment, every detail, has left a deep mark on my heart and become the most precious treasure in my life."

"So how can we talk about things moving quickly between us?"

"This is just a beautiful moment in our love journey."

As Chen Dong spoke these words, he gazed at Chu Mengran with deep affection in his eyes.

He continued, "The road ahead is long, and we have plenty of time to walk together."

As Chu Mengran listened to Chen Dong's words, the unease in her heart gradually dissipated, but tears welled up in her eyes without her realizing it.

She lowered her head gently, her voice choked with emotion: "I...I know."

"I'm just suddenly a little scared, scared that I'll lose this feeling."

Her voice grew softer and softer, as if only in this way could she conceal her inner vulnerability.

Chen Dong looked at her with heartache, gently lifting Chu Mengran's chin so that she could meet his gaze.

He looked into her tear-filled eyes and gently wiped away the tears from her face with his thumb.

He smiled and said, "Mengran, don't be afraid. I'll always be by your side."

"No matter what difficulties we encounter, no matter what happens in the future, I will hold your hand tightly and walk with you."

"I will love you, cherish you, respect you, and make sure you never lose this sense of security."

"We're just here to experience the hotel suite, get some rest, and go out together tomorrow."

As he spoke, Chen Dong pointed to the two beds in the room and said gently, "I'll sleep on the left one, and you can sleep on the right one, okay?"

"Just like our relationship has always been, we each have our own space, yet we are always in each other's hearts."

Chu Mengran felt somewhat relieved after hearing Chen Dong's words.

She knew Chen Dong was right; their love was real and beautiful, and they shouldn't back down because of a little fear.

Moreover, she still harbored a small expectation, hoping to have more intimate contact with Chen Dong.

Chu Mengran said softly, "Then... okay then."

"I'm going to take a shower, don't you dare peek!"

Chu Mengran blushed, gently covered her eyes, and playfully gave him a few words of advice, her voice carrying a hint of shyness and charm.

Chen Dong replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm a gentleman."

That smile was full of confidence and gentleness.

A short while later, Chu Mengran came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.

Her hair was wet and hung down on either side of her shoulders like black silk.

A few strands of hair playfully clung to her fair cheeks, like dewdrops on flower petals in the morning.

Water droplets slid down her silky hair and gathered at her rounded collarbone.

It forms tiny water droplets, which then slowly flow downwards.

Chu Mengran's skin turned a light pink from the hot water, like a delicate peach blossom blushing after being nourished by spring rain.

Her eyes held a hint of shyness and confusion, like a fawn just awakened from the mist, alluring and captivating.

She was like a beautiful flower that had just been bathed.

It exudes a captivating fragrance that intoxicates Chen Dong.

Chen Dong was completely stunned when he saw this scene.

His eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to suck Chu Mengran in completely.

My throat felt dry, and a burning sensation spread through my stomach.

He swallowed unconsciously, his throat seemingly frozen in place.
