After a shower, Shen Lang put on his father-in-law's loose pajamas and lay down in the room that his mother-in-law had prepared for him.
Su Lexuan's parents' house was a large four-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.
Aside from Shen Lang's room, there was another guest room next door for resting.
The couple often had business friends visiting, so these two rooms were for relatives and friends, and they also served as storage when empty.
The Yulong Bay neighborhood was a school district area, right next to the most prestigious transportation university in Jianghai City, a top-tier national school.
As a result, the Yulong Bay neighborhood had sky-high property prices, starting at least 50,000 to 60,000 per square meter.
Other than the well-known Tangchen Yipin, Yulong Bay was probably the most expensive neighborhood in Jianghai City.
Most residents here were well-off families.
There was no other Yulong Bay neighborhood in Jianghai City.
When Shen Lang and Su Lexuan drove over, he already knew this neighborhood belonged to the landlord's wife, Xia Shuyi.
As a local in Jianghai City, Shen Lang knew how coveted Yulong Bay was.
This precious neighborhood was initially owned by a mysterious big boss named Qin,
And years ago, it was even part of the leading Jianghai enterprise: the Su Group.
Later on, for some unknown reason, this Qin boss sold this highly profitable school district property to someone else.
The news was explosive back then, constantly popping up in junk ads,
And it involved some conspiracy theories that caught a lot of locals' attention.
Shen Lang didn't delve much into the landlord's wife's assets or family background.
But the fact that she could take over such a gold mine indicated Xia Shuyi's background was not just that of a typical landlord.
She might even know the elusive Mr. Qin.
"Let's hope nothing weird happens in the future."
If Shen Lang visited the old couple frequently in Xia Shuyi's neighborhood, he might actually run into her.
Although Xia Shuyi had said she wouldn't meddle in Shen Lang's private affairs,
Who can say for sure that a woman's thoughts will always stay the same?
"Never mind, I'll just deal with it if it happens."
Shen Lang was too lazy to think about these hypothetical problems, feeling like he was just being overly anxious.
In this unfamiliar environment, especially at his girlfriend's place, Shen Lang didn't feel like sleeping. He took out his phone and started browsing Douyin.
Just then, the door slowly opened.
Wearing pajamas, Su Lexuan tiptoed in like a sneaky little dinosaur, and carefully sat on the edge of Shen Lang's bed.
"Hehe, Shen Pig, are you asleep yet?"
"Why are you here?"
Shen Lang was thrilled to see her, sitting up and grabbing Su Lexuan's soft hand, and asked excitedly, "Are you going to sleep with me? Come on!"
Su Lexuan had just showered and was wearing a thin blue cartoon pajama. As she sat on the bed, a fresh scent of shower gel wafted over.
Her white feet were in comfy slippers, with her toes peeking out, wiggling playfully. Shen Lang, a serious leg enthusiast, couldn't help but gulp at the sight.
"To hell with it, what are you thinking!"
Su Lexuan's face flushed, and her toes instinctively curled into her slippers: "I just came to check if you're comfortable sleeping."
"Not comfortable, not comfortable."
Shen Lang shook his head vigorously and quickly moved over, pulling Su Lexuan into his arms: "It's my first time at your place, and I'm pretty nervous. How about you stay and keep me company tonight?"
"I don't believe you. Let go of me. What if my mom sees us?"
Su Lexuan struggled a bit but still blushed and leaned against Shen Lang, saying things that didn't match her actions.
"Hmph, always so touchy. Shouldn't have come over if I'd known."
Su Lexuan had come to cuddle in the dark.
But due to the unique pride and modesty of a girl, she would find excuses and reasons to maintain her pride and stubbornness.
"Hehe, if you hadn't come, I would have come to find you."
Shen Lang rubbed Su Lexuan's fragrant hair: "When you came to my place, you always went into my room. I haven't even been to yours all day."
"I wouldn't let you in."
Su Lexuan said proudly: "Even when my dad goes to my room, he has to tell me first!"
"Fine, I won't go to your room."
Shen Lang gently kissed Su Lexuan's smooth, fair cheek and asked in a low, suggestive voice: "So, about the thing we agreed on last time, is it still on?"
"Wh-what thing? I don't know what you're talking about."
Feeling Shen Lang's heavy breathing, Su Lexuan blushed and started to play coy.
"You know."
Shen Lang lightly brushed Su Lexuan's pink earlobe, holding her slim waist and lifting her legs, quietly moving her onto the bed.
"Shen Lang, what are you doing..."
Su Lexuan anxiously pressed Shen Lang's increasingly wandering hand and reminded him with a reddened face: "Please, this is my home, and my parents are right next door!"
"Don't worry, I won't do anything."
Shen Lang stroked Su Lexuan's hot cheeks and said gently: "I just want to chat with you, is that okay?"
With her parents next door, Shen Lang wouldn't do anything inappropriate at her house.
It was their first time meeting her parents, and her mother had warmly invited him to stay the night.
Doing anything out of line would be disrespectful to her parents.
Of course, he couldn't waste such a good opportunity. It was a great chance to give Su Lexuan a bit of confidence for the future.
When it came time for more significant matters, Su Lexuan wouldn't resist as much.
"So, just chatting. No funny business."
Su Lexuan was too shy to continue.
"Hehe, let's just chat."
Shen Lang opened the conversation: "How did I do today? Was it okay?"
"Yeah, thumbs up for you!"
Su Lexuan, familiar with internet trends, playfully gave a thumbs-up.
Today's performance had indeed impressed her.
Even her father, Su Zhendong, who was most likely to oppose their relationship, was won over by Shen Lang.
"Since I did so well, do I get a reward? Like a kiss?"
"Oh, you... why do you always think about stuff like that? So perverted!"
Su Lexuan, both embarrassed and angry, gave Shen Lang a playful shove.
But thinking her parents might have already fallen asleep, Su Lexuan still felt a bit flustered.
After all, this was the guy she liked, her first love.
Since they would eventually get married, a kiss wouldn't hurt, right? Besides, he already got her first kiss anyway!
