It’s been several days with no chance to show affection to Lin Wanwan, and Lu Shouyue didn’t want to let her stay in a room alone.

He wished he could be more gentlemanly, but the stunning beauty lay temptingly before him, the silk pajamas’ texture was incredible, making it impossible for him to restrain himself.

Today Lin Wanwan didn’t wear perfume, her body only carried the scent of mint shampoo, which should have been refreshing and invigorating, yet to Lu Shouyue, it only provoked restless thoughts and emotional turmoil.

His hand slowly moved downwards, feeling the outline of her underwear, and asked hoarsely, "Wearing lingerie even after sleeping?"

Lin Wanwan didn’t answer, not sure why she had impulsively worn it, just feeling like someone wouldn’t honestly let her sleep.

Lu Shouyue’s long fingers moved lightly, and the feeling of being bound vanished.

He continued to kiss her, so tenderly it was unbelievable, and a sense of being cherished surrounded Lin Wanwan’s heart, making her both nervous and dizzy, her hands subconsciously gripping the bedsheet beneath her.

"Wanwan, is this okay?" Lu Shouyue’s deep voice fell by her ear, against the light, his features etched in shadow and light, his eyes full of aggression, deep with desire.

Lin Wanwan looked at Lu Shouyue above her with scattered eyes, foolishly asking, "What?"

Lu Shouyue silently took out a small box from beneath the pillow; ever since discovering Lin Wanwan’s feelings on that grand show day, he had been preparing every day, not wanting to wait any longer.

Lin Wanwan saw it from the corner of her eye, her face instantly reddened, and her breathing became erratic in an instant.

"I...I can’t..."

Lu Shouyue paused his movements, his hand stroking her face, swallowing gently before asking, "Wanwan, don’t you trust me?"

"Wait...wait until after the engagement, okay?"

Lin Wanwan’s heart was racing, and her refusal wasn’t that resolute.

"I’m sorry, I want to restrain myself a bit. But no, I can’t wait..." Lu Shouyue felt her softening, held her hand pressed against his chest, pinned it into the sheets, and his kiss suddenly turned fierce.

"Not here," Lin Wanwan said softly again, "I don’t want it in the hotel."

These words carried an extinguishing effect, and Lu Shouyue’s actions seemed to be paused instantly.

His head buried at her neck, he murmured quietly, "Wanwan, you know how to torture me."

"I don’t..." Lin Wanwan weakly opposed.

Lu Shouyue rolled over to lie beside her, taking a deep breath, his prominently defined chest muscles heaving immensely.

Lin Wanwan buried her head at his shoulder, slowly calming her breath, instinctively rubbed for a moment.

"Don’t move." Lu Shouyue immediately held her down, wrapping her into the quilt, "If you don’t want me to lose control, don’t move."

Lin Wanwan obediently stopped moving immediately.

Lu Shouyue turned to look at her tense face, then unexpectedly smiled, "Wanwan, you really are something."

He grabbed her hand, kissed it, then flipped over and sat up, saying, "You sleep in this room, I’ll go to the side bedroom."

Lin Wanwan sat up, "Better I sleep in the side bedroom, I’ve already moved my luggage there."

Lu Shouyue pushed her down onto the bed, his gaze deep, saying, "This place is filled with your scent, I can’t sleep."

Lin Wanwan awkwardly found it hard to respond; this was too direct to bear!

Lu Shouyue chuckled lightly, leaning down to leave a kiss on her forehead, "I’ll help you move your luggage back, just go to sleep, goodnight."

"...Goodnight," Lin Wanwan answered, surprised by her own soft and husky voice.

Lu Shouyue’s smile broadened even more.

"Close the door for me!" Lin Wanwan pulled the quilt up, burying herself entirely in the darkness. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

How could she make such a sound, it’s so embarrassing.

"Alright."

Lu Shouyue didn’t continue to persist, grabbed the little box by the pillow, and stuffed it into the bedside table; this time it was brought in vain.

It’s fine; the little lamb can be raised a little more, it’ll taste better when ready.

The five suitcases soon all made their way into the master bedroom, hearing the door lock click with a "clack," Lin Wanwan finally emerged from the quilt.

Ah, she should be preparing to travel through time, but now she felt completely drained and didn’t want to move at all.

Why do these things consume so much energy, Lin Wanwan felt like her shower was wasted.

She clearly hadn’t actually done anything yet, but her whole body and soul seemed to have been thoroughly devoured.

Lu Shouyue said this place was filled with her scent, he couldn’t sleep.

She felt the same, at the tip of her nose, his faint Suhexiang fragrance lingered.

Her mind replayed the scene just now, his words echoed in her ears.

Suddenly, Lin Wanwan got nervous again, things were progressing so fast, too fast.

If Lu Shouyue heard the thoughts in her mind at this moment, he’d probably be so aggrieved he’d cry.

It’s been more than half a year and still haven’t actually done it, how could this be considered fast?

Adult love, surprisingly progresses slower than that of students; nowadays university kids probably don’t have like this anymore.

Hugging the quilt for a long while, Lin Wanwan finally flipped over and got up, walked to the room door and locked it.

Then she opened one of the suitcases, pulled out a Hu costume men’s outfit, and changed into it.

However, her shoes weren’t Great Tang’s leather boots, but special boots with steel plates inside, which wouldn’t deform immediately even under the impact of a rock, and could easily fracture bones when kicking.

With Lin Wanwan’s body transformed by the Space-Time Gate, wearing these special boots was akin to carrying a lethal weapon.

Sleeve crossbow, dagger, sapper shovel, and guns, it was impossible to bring them through customs, so these special boots were now Lin Wanwan’s strongest weapon.

She planned to buy wilderness survival gear at Lion City Mall tomorrow; for now, she would first take a look at the situation.

Confident in her own strength, Lin Wanwan didn’t worry about encountering danger.

After putting on her attire, she checked the contents of her bag again, bringing a pouch filled with flawless pearls and glass beads, Lin Wanwan was ready to open the Space-Time Gate for her journey.

Just then, a knock on the door came.

"What’s up? I’m going to sleep, let’s talk tomorrow," Lin Wanwan asked in a soft tone.

Outside, Lu Shouyue chuckled softly, "Okay, you sleep, I’ve left something for you at the door."

"Oh, what is it?"

"You’ll know when you see it."

Lin Wanwan paused for a moment, felt that the person outside must have returned to his room, she got up and quietly approached the door, opening it slightly to peer outside, a bulging backpack came into view through the opened door.

Her expression slightly changed, took the bag inside, and locked the door.

She wasn’t in a hurry to leave; first, she wanted to see what was inside.

Inside was a full set of outdoor gear, including a sleeve crossbow and a handgun, truly didn’t know where he got these from.

Lin Wanwan’s heart warmed, she took out the sleeve crossbow and donned it, transferred her belongings into the new pack stuffed with equipment, then opened the Space-Time Gate to traverse time.
