Chapter 470 - 305: No Pants?
"I’ll figure something out," Chen Yuan said with a shrug. "I spend most of my time with you, so I’ll have to find other ways to make it up to her. To be honest, I don’t have a plan yet, so it’s just an empty promise for now."
’That’s just how it is with three people. It’s impossible to keep things perfectly balanced.’
’And nobody likes someone who tries too hard to please everyone.’
’Unless Chen Yuan could actually marry both Jiangg Ning and Jiangg Yao. With something as important as an official title, they at least wouldn’t be so prone to insecurity.’
Jiangg Yao thought for a moment. She could understand his predicament and sighed along with him.
"The fact that you’re thinking this way just proves you have a conscience. It’s normal to feel guilty. If you were enjoying my sister’s kindness with a clear conscience, only to turn around and run off with me, I wouldn’t be happy either."
Chen Yuan nodded repeatedly.
’Ultimately, both sisters were wonderful girls. Each of them deserved to be cherished by him for a lifetime.’
’He now deeply regretted how, after discovering they were twins, he’d let his anger get the best of him and exposed them immediately. The current situation was actually disadvantageous for him. If he had chosen to just wait and see, to play dumb, he wouldn’t even need to be doing this balancing act.’
"So that’s why my sister came back so angry and insisted on finding a reason to fight with me. It seems she was just jealous and couldn’t take it, so she deliberately picked a fight with me." Jiangg Yao instantly transformed into a little detective, mimicking a classic pose from the Conan manga with a classic, confident smile on her face.
’Oh, she could actually understand that feeling very well.’
’After all, who could watch their beloved walk away from them and remain completely unfazed?’
’Looks like Ningning is getting antsy.’
Jiangg Yao was secretly delighted. A rush of satisfaction shot through her.
After a moment, she cleared her throat and said magnanimously, "Alright, alright. I don’t want to see you so torn. As your girlfriend, I should help ease your worries. I’ve decided to forgive my sister. And you, too."
"You’re so incredibly gracious, Yaoyao." Chen Yuan gave her a thumbs-up. Then, feeling that praise wasn’t strong enough, he gave her another one.
"But not right now. I’ll forgive her tomorrow. Serves her right for being so fierce!"
"I’m all for it. A harsh punishment is deserved," Chen Yuan said, then paused and lowered his voice. "So, since you’ve forgiven me now... want to go next door and play some games together?"
’He was honestly bored to death being all alone.’
’After a long day, he had been looking forward to spending the evening with Ningning and Yaoyao, but instead he could only lie in bed and watch anime by himself. The loneliness and coldness of being ignored were truly unbearable.’
"I just finished my stream, so I don’t have the energy. I don’t feel like playing games." Jiangg Yao pulled over a chair and sat down. "I just want to lie down."
"We can lie down together, too," Chen Yuan said, his eyes narrowing slightly.
’Yaoyao was the one who walked right into this. He hadn’t done anything to lead her on.’
’A perfect gentleman, through and through.’
"Is that so?" Jiangg Yao tilted her head, a teasing smile playing on her lips.
"Yeah, yeah."
"At your place?"
"At my place. The bed’s bigger, and Ningning won’t know."
"Ooh, that sounds dangerous. A man and a woman all alone in a room, and I’m so delicate..." Yaoyao gently bit her lip, a flicker of Charm in her eyes. She deliberately used an exaggerated tone. "You’re not planning on doing anything to poor little me, are you?"
"I won’t," Chen Yuan said, not daring to meet her gaze.
’Yaoyao had two modes. Normally, she was the cute girl-next-door, but once her seductive side was unlocked, every action and word was filled with a special kind of temptation.’
’The slight upward lilt in her voice was like a feather teasing him, making him itch with desire. Her moist lips parted and closed, and he couldn’t begin to imagine how soft they were.’
’As if he wouldn’t!’
’They both knew exactly what was going to happen.’
’But it was precisely this hazy feeling, this sense of trying to hide the obvious, that made their hearts pound with excitement and stimulation.’
"I trust you, okay? Don’t let me down. We won’t do anything; we’ll just behave ourselves and watch a show in bed." Jiangg Yao put on an innocent act, her eyes reflecting a clear, pure light.
"Mhm, let’s go."
"You go on ahead. I’ll tell my sister I’m sleeping in the spare room tonight, so she doesn’t come looking for me."
"That’s perfect," Chen Yuan said, his cheeks already growing warm as he imagined their impending intimacy. "I’ll head over first."
...
’Jiangg Yao was really something else.’
She deliberately picked another fight with Jiangg Ning and slammed the door to the spare bedroom with a BANG.
’Now, Jiangg Ning definitely wouldn’t come to wake her up. She could stay across the hall at Chen Yuan’s place until dawn. It was a classic misdirection.’
After changing into a loose, soft top and just a short denim skirt, she shyly pushed open the door and peeked inside.
Chen Yuan, who had been lying on the bed, shot upright.
From a distance, her long, pale legs gave the momentary illusion that she wasn’t wearing anything on her lower half. The loose top barely covered her bottom.
Her pure white, cloud-shaped slippers padded against the floor, the soft shuffling sound seeming particularly distinct in the quiet bedroom.
Chen Yuan patted the pillow beside him, the meaning of his gesture self-evident.
"Not leaving tonight?"
"I’ll leave at dawn. My sister gets up around six, so if I go back over at five-something, she won’t find out."
"Okay. What show do you want to watch?"
"Whatever."
As she spoke, Jiangg Yao pulled back the covers and slipped inside. The soft comforter hid half her face, so Chen Yuan couldn’t see her expression, but he could feel that her cheeks were a little flushed and warm. A few messy strands of hair were scattered across her forehead.
’Who needs a show?’
Chen Yuan tossed his phone aside, wrapped his arms firmly around her, and pulled Yaoyao completely into his embrace.
"Mm... you said you’d keep your hands to yourself, you bad boy," she murmured in a tiny voice.
