NOVEL NEXT Chapter 17 - Love
“Even if you get married, I’ll still wait for you. I’ll let that little wretch hold onto you for now, but we can still be like before, right?”
Su Yu could tell Gu Yanran already saw him as her possession. That she could say something like this still surprised him.
But meeting up with his childhood sweetheart while married—wouldn’t that be…
“Su Yu, I love you. For you, I can endure anything.” Gu Yanran hugged him tightly, her voice brimming with the earnest feelings she wanted to express right then and there.
Before, she’d thought her affection was one-sided, a fool’s fantasy.
But now, she could feel Su Yu’s heart loud and clear.
Yes, it was love!
Gu Yanran had never felt such joy, her heart swelling with unprecedented resolve!
“Uh? Yanran… you…”
Her sudden intensity caught Su Yu off guard, leaving him dazed and flustered. What was happening? He’d almost talked her down—how had it all unraveled?
“Hehe~ Su Yu, you don’t need to say a thing.”
Gu Yanran’s slender hands gently pulled his head closer, pressing his body against hers.
Her voice brushed his ear. “I know I’m being selfish, but since we both like each other, I’m not letting go. You’ll always belong to me—only me!”
“Mmph…”
Su Yu couldn’t speak, a muffled sound escaping his throat.
His face was buried in the young woman’s generous chest. Hidden under her gown before, it hadn’t stood out—but now, up close, it was breathtaking. The fragrant, soft mounds smothered his face, nearly suffocating him.
Chapter 18: What Are You Two Doing?
Su Yu’s eyes glistened, his whole body weak and limp.
His delicate, pretty face bore unfocused eyes, and he bit his lip, wrestling fiercely within.
Logically, he should stop rubbing against Gu Yanran’s shamelessly tempting chest, but it felt so good—how could he resist? So…
Just a little more, just one more time.
What was happening? He’d only meant for a quick hug before parting, but now, with this suggestive atmosphere, his once pure, snowy cheeks flushed with an alluring blush.
Unsure if someone was just getting frisky, Gu Yanran mistook it for love. At that thought, she didn’t want to let go—especially feeling his soft waist in her hands, a strange glint flickering in her eyes again.
The young man’s fragile frame seemed boneless, his skin smooth as jade. Even through his clothes, she could sense its exquisite texture—so fine and tender, impossible to release.
She liked him—liked him to the extreme!
Warm jade, sweet fragrance.
Gu Yanran wanted to hold his hand, pull him into her arms, touch his thighs, wrap around his waist, caress his face, and more.
With those thoughts, under his panicked gaze, she slowly lowered her head.
…
Oh no, oh no, oh no!! What now?!
Staring at Gu Yanran’s face, Su Yu wanted to throttle his earlier self.
No getting frisky—he’d said no! How had he let himself get swept away?
But thinking was useless now. Realizing how dangerous it was to stay tangled with her, they had to separate—fast.
Su Yu summoned all his strength to struggle, only to find himself locked in her grip, unable to budge!
And judging by the force on his waist, she seemed eager to turn this zero-distance contact into something even closer, piling pressure on him.
“Y-Yanran… let me go…!”
His voice came out soft and sticky, her unabashed stare making his skin burn.
He could practically feel her scorching gaze roaming his legs—like a sheep eyed by a wolf. For a moment, he was too tense to know how to react.
Gu Yanran didn’t flinch. As Su Yu zoned out, she lifted his chin with a finger and leaned in for a kiss.
Su Yu’s lips—how to describe them? She couldn’t find words for the comfort they brought.
They were soft, tender, with a unique sweetness that begged for more—utterly addictive.
Su Yu’s mind fogged. His hands instinctively clutched her clothes, lost in the kiss.
It wasn’t until dozens of seconds passed, when he struggled to breathe, that his senses cleared and he realized what he’d done.
A kiss?!
He’d been forcibly kissed by a woman!!
He hadn’t expected things to spiral this far. Knowing it was wrong, Su Yu wanted to break away from her lips, of course.
But it was too late. His body had fully ignited Gu Yanran’s love. Feeling him squirm, her desire-addled mind refused to let him go so easily.
Her eyes grew hazy, her last shreds of reason slipping away. Su Yu’s body softened, and in that moment, they looked like a pair of smitten lovers.
Maybe they were too caught up, or maybe kissing was just that intoxicating.
Otherwise, how could they miss someone standing nearby, watching with a mix of utter shock and helpless confusion?
“What are you two doing!?”
“…”
“…”
Under the cherry tree, Gu Yanran held Su Yu in her arms, their faces inches apart—close enough that their lips nearly met again.
Naturally—they’d only just pulled away.
Even now, Su Yu’s hands rested squarely on Gu Yanran’s full chest, his cheeks faintly flushed, making his face even more captivating. Paired with his almost sultry expression…
