"To be honest, when I found out you were the person I was dating online, and when I saw you wearing that ring from my seat in the lecture hall, do you know what was going through my mind?" Chen Yuan recalled how he felt at that mont.
"What were you thinking?"
"I thought it was completely absurd. It felt so dissonant. No matter how many tis I tried, I couldn't reconcile the two of you—the lecturer and my online girlfriend," Chen Yuan said, his eyes full of the sa bewildernt he'd felt back then. "You give your students the impression that you're way up on a pedestal, completely untouchable. But then I learned that in private, you're all cutesy and high-pitched... It's such a huge contrast."
"The contrast... It's really just how my personality was ford growing up. There's always this standard for what a gentle and graceful woman should be. She can act that way, but it doesn't an that's her true personality on the inside," Jiangg Ning replied after a mont of thought.
Normally, she was just like her university self.
Out in public, she had to be mindful of her conduct.
But when she got ho, with Jiangg Yao, there weren't so many rules between them. As the older sister, she could be a little more feisty.
Yet being with Chen Yuan was different from either of those states. With him, she would forget everything and return to her most essential self, especially when they were teasing each other like children or using sickeningly sweet pet nas.
Like "Baby" or "Little Cub," things like that.
It was mortifying, but it felt amazing.
There was a thrilling sense of release, and it was addictive.
She couldn't explain why, but it was as if a barrier that had always existed was ruthlessly pierced, and then the blood would rush through her veins. She couldn't help but hook her fingers, twist the hem of her clothes, and bite her lip.
And then, with a shiver, she'd feel a wave of euphoria.
So won truly are wondrous creatures. They don't even understand themselves.
"I still don't quite understand."
Chen Yuan didn't understand, but he felt he was getting to know Ningning on a deeper level.
This was undoubtedly good news.
When he was with Yaoyao, he could do as he pleased. He could tell what she was thinking because Yaoyao would show all her emotions.
But Ningning's thoughts didn't show on her face.
She wouldn't glare when angry or wail when sad.
She wouldn't sigh when troubled or pinch people when furious.
She would only purse her lips, the light in her eyes flickering, and say, "Alright."
"It's just... being with you makes do things I would never normally do, and say things I would never normally say," Jiangg Ning said, a little shyly.
"Like what, specifically?"
"Um..."
Jiangg Ning glanced at him, then scanned their surroundings.
Night had fallen, and this already sparsely populated street now had even fewer pedestrians.
Far across the street, a few figures could be seen walking, likely so of the local seniors out for a stroll after an early dinner.
A mont later, the streetlights suddenly flickered on, heralding the true arrival of night.
The soft glow spilled over the edge of the bench, illuminating the hem of Chen Yuan's clothes.
Jiangg Ning hesitated, her beautiful brows furrowed tightly. A blush crept onto her breathtakingly pretty face... She seed to have made so kind of decision and closed her eyes.
'Besides, I'm going back to Mingzhu City tomorrow anyway.'
"Co closer," she said softly.
"What are you going to do?"
"Your legs. Stretch them out."
Jiangg Ning placed a hand on his knee. Then, holding down the hem of her skirt, she lifted her legs and rested her long, fair limbs across his lap, reclining on the bench.
From Chen Yuan's angle, all he had to do was look down.
He could see the tops of her smooth, full thighs, gleaming like ivory.
He froze, unable to resist taking a second look.
The sight was all the more alluring for being partially concealed.
Jiangg Ning let out a long, relaxed sigh, leaning on his shoulder and bending her legs slightly. "This makes so happy. When I was studying abroad, I'd often see couples on campus, on benches, being affectionate like this as if no one else was watching. The guy's hand would even be on the girl's leg. I used to think they were so shaless and that the girls had no sense of propriety."
"And now you're doing it?"
"Yes. Now that I'm doing it, I can understand how they felt. It's embarrassing, but my whole body feels hot... This is such a girlish thing to do."
"Then that makes you my girl," Chen Yuan said in a low voice.
"Mhm, right now I'm the girl in your arms. I'm your... your baby."
As Jiangg Ning spoke, her toes curled tightly inside her sneakers and her small fists clenched. She didn't dare to et Chen Yuan's gaze, her eyes darting away evasively.
'A voice in her head was screaming, "Oh my god, Jiangg Ning, what are you saying?!"'
"So, can I touch your legs?"
"You can. I'll let you," she said, lightly biting her lip.
Chen Yuan's hand rested on Jiangg Ning's leg. In that instant, he felt how silky Ning's skin was, and he could also gaze at her cheeks, which were flushed crimson with embarrassnt.
"Chen..." she moved closer and whispered in his ear, "Can you call by a really childish pet na?"
"Baby?"
"Mhm, and add Ningning to it, okay?"
"Ningning Baby, I like you so much..." Chen Yuan blushed too.
"What do you like about ?"
"I like that you're gentle, beautiful, and considerate. I like your legs... uh, I just like everything about you."
"Then touch them more. Today, Ningning Baby is giving you a treat. I'll be your good little girlfriend and do whatever you say..."
"For real?"
"I'm not kidding."
"Then can you call 'Hubby' so I can hear it?"
"..."
"But you just said you'd listen to ."
"Alright, let work up to it," Jiangg Ning took a deep breath, feeling like her cheeks were hot enough to cook an egg. She parted her lips slightly, then quickly shut them again, looking at Chen Yuan as if she wanted to say sothing but couldn't. After a mont, she squeezed her eyes shut, mustered her courage, and whispered, "Hubby~~ Chen Yuan Hubby~"
