Chapter 27 First Taste of Love
Chapter 27 First Taste of Love
Two hours later, in the finance office.
"Please come in."
The door was pushed open, and Jiang Miaolan looked up to see that the person who walked in was Shen Yuxin.
"Sister Lan...I...I've thought it through!"
"Have you really made up your mind?"
"Okay, I agree."
Having received her definite answer, Jiang Miaolan looked at her with a smile and asked, "Aren't you afraid of regretting it in the future?"
Shen Yuxin was silent for a moment, then replied, "I only know that if I refuse, I will definitely regret it."
Jiang Miaolan withdrew her gaze and wrote down an address and number, handing it to her: "I was originally planning to go to him to pick up the food after work, but since you've joined, I'll let you have it for the next few days. I'll let him know in a bit, and you can go to him yourself after get off work."
"Huh?!" Shen Yuxin looked at the address slip handed to her and couldn't help but say, "Isn't this a bit too fast? Um, I..."
Jiang Miaolan glanced at her and said dismissively, "The sooner you break through the barrier in the relationship, the sooner you'll adapt to your new identity. You can leave work early today. Once you've finished your business, you can switch shifts next Monday."
Shen Yuxin, after receiving the address slip, left the office in a daze.
Half an hour later, Shen Yuxin left work early and went home.
At this moment, she was in the bathroom, silently gazing at herself in the mirror.
She has fair skin, stunning features, clear almond-shaped eyes, and eyebrows that are nicely shaped even without makeup. Her lips have a natural pink hue even without lipstick.
She turned on the shower, adjusted the water temperature, and began to shower. She closed her eyes and remained motionless, letting the water pour down on her head, reflecting on what had happened at the company that day.
After taking a shower, Shen Yuxin wrapped herself in a bath towel and went into the bedroom, opening the wardrobe to look at what clothes she should wear to see Lin Chuan.
She first tried a white shirt with dress pants, but wasn't satisfied. Then she tried a T-shirt with jeans, but still wasn't satisfied.
Then she changed into a JK outfit. This outfit was full of youthful energy and looked great. However, this outfit is not considered proper in China and is even jokingly referred to as an "attack speed" outfit.
Shen Yuxin blushed and gave up on that approach, feeling it was too frivolous.
Finally, she chose a dress with a hemline that fell just above her knees, revealing her shapely calves. The waist was perfectly fitted, outlining her slender waistline.
Then I started applying makeup.
Shen Yuxin's advantage lies in her excellent natural beauty and outstanding modeling skills. She doesn't need to dress up to outshine everyone else.
After finishing her makeup, she checked the time; it was still early.
Various thoughts swirled in her mind, and she recalled Jiang Miaolan's words: the sooner you break through the barrier in the relationship, the sooner you can adapt to your new identity.
"It's not like this is onboarding training..."
Shen Yuxin couldn't help but laugh, then quickly stopped herself.
Just then, the doorbell rang twice.
She got up, walked to the door, and looked through the peephole. Shen Yuxin was secretly surprised to see that the person standing outside the door was none other than Lin Chuan.
Why is he here?
Just then, the doorbell rang again. Shen Yuxin snapped out of her daze and realized that the person was standing outside, so she opened the door.
Lin Chuan faced her, looked into her eyes, and said nothing.
He immediately went inside and closed the door.
At this moment, Shen Yuxin could hear her own heartbeat.
Boom, boom, boom...
It was so fast it looked like it was about to jump out.
The two stared at each other silently. Lin Chuan remained silent, then slowly lowered his head to kiss her. She couldn't help but close her eyes, feeling as if the whole world had become quiet.
Things took a completely unexpected turn; the relationship progressed so directly.
Lin Chuan's hand had already wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer to his embrace.
Shen Yuxin felt his warmth seeping through the thin fabric of his clothes and instinctively reached out to grab the hem of his garment.
"hold me."
Lin Chuan whispered in her ear, and she obediently wrapped her arms around his neck, then he picked her up.
She instinctively wrapped her legs around Lin Chuan's waist, and he carried her through the living room and into the bedroom.
Shen Yuxin met his gaze once, then looked away, and neither of them spoke.
At this moment, Lin Chuan's fingers gently brushed across her cheek, and Shen Yuxin slowly closed her eyes again. She felt warm kisses fall on her neck, then her collarbone, her shoulders, and then further down.
Each touch felt like an electric current, causing her body and mind to involuntarily tense up and relax at the same time.
……
I don't know how much time has passed.
Shen Yuxin lay in Lin Chuan's arms, covered with a thin blanket, her hair spread out on the pillow, her whole body still feeling tingly and numb, as if she were soaking in warm water.
When she saw Lin Chuan looking at her, she quickly buried her face in the pillow.
Lin Chuan chuckled in her ear, "To be so quick to follow the rhythm on our first meeting, that's perfect. You're lucky, Xiao Chuan."
"No, that's not it..."
Shen Yuxin's delicate, muffled voice came from under the pillow.
An hour later, the two went out and had dinner together at a restaurant in the city center. After dinner, they went shopping at a mall, and time passed slowly like this.
At that moment, the two came out of a shoe store.
Shen Yuxin stole a glance at him and suddenly realized that Lin Chuan wasn't as unapproachable as she had imagined. He would joke around, serve her food, and pour her water...
These are like, just like a boyfriend.
Boyfriend.
When the word popped into her mind, Shen Yuxin's heart started racing again.
She had a strange feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on; it was the first time anyone, apart from her parents, had bought her something.
The two browsed several stores in the mall and bought quite a few things.
It was almost 9 p.m. when they came out of the mall, and the two sat down on a bench by the roadside.
The night breeze was gentle, and the light from the streetlights cast long shadows of the two people.
Shen Yuxin suddenly said, "So this is what it feels like to be in love..."
Lin Chuan turned his head to look at her: "How does it feel?"
"It's just..." She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I feel very at ease. I don't have to think about what to do tomorrow, or how much work I haven't finished. Just being here with you makes me feel great."
The two sat for a while, then took a walk.
Lin Chuan naturally took her hand. Shen Yuxin suddenly stiffened, but let him hold her hand and feel it. She watched their shadows overlap on the ground and felt a feeling she had never experienced before.
At this moment, the two were strolling and chatting.
"that……"
"Um?"
"What should I call you from now on? President Lin?"
"Too formal."
"What's it called?"
"Call me senior brother."
"Senior Brother Lin Chuan~" Shen Yuxin tried calling out, then couldn't help but burst out laughing, her eyes curving into crescents. She then said in a coquettish tone, "That's too cheesy, so embarrassing! Let's find another way to address each other."
"You can call me whatever you want."
……
The weekend flew by, and it's Monday of the new week.
"Senior, what time is it?"
Shen Yuxin mumbled something indistinctly, her voice carrying a hint of languor from just waking up.
The morning sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains. Shen Yuxin groggily turned over and instinctively reached her hand to the side.
What I touched was ice-cold, without temperature or response.
Shen Yuxin opened her eyes, turned over to look at the other side, and found that she was alone in the bedroom.
She sat up, hugged the blanket, and stared blankly for a while, feeling a sense of emptiness in her heart.
The past two days have felt like a dream.
When she woke up on Saturday morning, Lin Chuan was still beside her. The two of them made breakfast together, and the small space in the kitchen was crammed with the two of them. They snuggled together on the sofa to watch a movie. She leaned on his shoulder, but she didn't actually remember the plot at all. In the evening, they went out for a walk, holding hands, and walked a long way along the river behind the community.
Sunday was the same; the two acted like an ordinary couple deeply in love.
Shen Yuxin lay back down on her pillow, muttering to herself, "If only he could be faithful..."
However, she also knew that this was just wishful thinking. If he wanted someone like that, she wouldn't even have a chance.
……
DeepBlue Technology.
When Shen Yuxin arrived at the company, she first went to the human resources department to complete the formalities. The transfer process was almost finished.
Then, she went to Jiang Miaolan's office.
The door was open, and Shen Yuxin stood in the doorway and knocked: "Sister Lan."
Jiang Miaolan was looking at something on the computer when she looked up and saw her. Her gaze lingered on her for two seconds before she leaned back in her chair, a slow smile spreading across her face.
"Come in, and close the door behind you."
Shen Yuxin entered the room and closed the door behind her, then stood in front of the desk.
At this moment, Jiang Miaolan tilted her head and looked her up and down with great interest.
When Shen Yuxin saw the gaze directed at her, she seemed guilty and hurriedly looked away.
After a moment, Jiang Miaolan slowly opened her mouth and smiled, "I haven't seen you for two days, and you look even more radiant than usual."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuxin's face suddenly flushed.
"let me see."
Jiang Miaolan stood up, walked around the desk, and stood in front of Shen Yuxin, taking a closer look at her face.
"Your skin looks even better, your eyes are brighter, and your complexion is unbelievably radiant!" She gently tapped Shen Yuxin's cheek with her finger, exclaiming with feigned surprise, "Wow! Looks like you were really well-nourished last weekend!"
"Sister Lan..."
Shen Yuxin's voice was tinged with reproach, and her face instantly turned bright red, wishing she could find a crack to hide in.
After a moment, Jiang Miaolan returned to her seat and sat down again, smiling as she said, "Tell me honestly, how many games have you played in these three days?"
Shen Yuxin hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and said weakly, "Quite a few times..."
Seeing this, Jiang Miaolan feigned surprise: "I really didn't expect you to be such a glutton."
Shen Yuxin: "..."
Jiang Miaolan smiled and said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's talk about serious matters."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuxin felt as if she had been granted a pardon.
Jiang Miaolan took a document from the folder on her desk and pushed it onto the table. She looked at Shen Yuxin and said, "This is the new contract. Sign it. The salary and benefits are the same as what I told you last time."
Shen Yuxin signed her name on the contract.
Then, Jiang Miaolan said, "Let's get the handover of work sorted out today, and then familiarize ourselves with the new job duties."
Shen Yuxin nodded: "Mm."
