Wen Jie sent a bunch of chat logs between him and Ye Xinxin. Shen Lang glanced at them briefly and quickly realized that his girlfriend's friend is pretty skilled at this. Just a few words and she had Wen Jie's buddy completely smitten, even offering to buy game skins for Ye Xinxin.
Given her gaming skills at the internet café, Shen Lang guessed she's one of those girls who tricks gamer guys into helping her rank up for free, a real eSports player. But from the chat logs, it looked like Ye Xinxin was just a girl who used guys to help her rank up. Whenever it came to money or meeting up in real life, she always found a clever excuse to dodge it.
Shen Lang thought, maybe that's Ye Xinxin's limit. He'd seen plenty of girls like this while gaming before—ones who not only tricked guys into helping them rank up but also tried to get them to spend gold coins and even scam discounts from food delivery apps. Ye Xinxin, who just asked for help with ranking, was a first for Shen Lang. She's like a breath of fresh air in the world of gaming girls.
After chatting with Wen Jie for a bit, Shen Lang quickly turned off his phone. The water in the bathroom had stopped, and from the bed, Shen Lang could see through the foggy glass, catching a glimpse of Su Lexuan drying herself and putting on her bathrobe.
Soon, the bathroom door slid open, and Su Lexuan, wrapped in her bathrobe, stepped out with a trail of steam following her. Her face, delicate and slightly damp, was flushed, and she gave Shen Lang a shy yet playful look, trying to hide her nervousness and excitement with a mock stern expression.
"I'm going to take a shower!"
Shen Lang, eager and clumsy, jumped out of bed, slipping on his slippers, and couldn't resist giving Su Lexuan's flushed cheek a quick kiss as he passed by. Su Lexuan playfully punched him a few times before Shen Lang rushed into the bathroom for a quick, messy shower.
Bathing and blow-drying his hair took less than ten minutes. Shen Lang hurried out of the bathroom, not wanting to waste any more precious time.
When he returned to the bed, Su Lexuan was holding onto the edge of the blanket, her shy and clear eyes peeking out before she quickly ducked back into the warm covers.
Feeling a tug at his heart, Shen Lang turned off the main lights, leaving only the dim, intimate bedside lamp. The bright hotel room instantly became cozy and romantic.
Shen Lang quietly climbed into bed, slipping under the covers, and gently pulled the freshly showered Su Lexuan, still smelling of body wash, into his arms.
As soon as his hand touched her, Shen Lang could feel her trembling slightly, showing she was still a bit nervous.
"Babe, do you have any plans after graduation?"
Shen Lang, with plenty of experience, knew this was the time to calm her down with some small talk.
The unease in Su Lexuan's eyes seemed to fade a bit. "I'm not sure yet. I used to think about doing fashion design, but I'm worried it's not a good fit with my major."
Su Lexuan studied economics, which is quite different from art and design. Many students end up in fields that don't align with their original dreams, choosing majors they think will lead to success and pushing aside their initial goals.
But when graduation looms, they often feel that the major they worked so hard for isn't as fulfilling as their original passion.
"You should go for it! I mean, you always dress so well. Even someone like me, who doesn't get fashion, can see you have a good eye for it."
Shen Lang gently stroked Su Lexuan's warm skin, encouraging her, "Who knows? You might actually make a name for yourself and turn something you love into a career."
"I've always wanted to switch majors."
Shen Lang's encouragement got her talking. "But it feels like switching would waste everything I've learned over the past year."
"Don't worry about that. If you want to do it, just do it."
Shen Lang comforted her patiently, "You were born in 2004, right? You're only in your early twenties. You don't need to stress so much about this."
"Hey, if it doesn't work out, why don't you come and be in my movies?"
Shen Lang joked, "You're so pretty, I'm sure I could make you even more famous than Yang Mi."
"No way!"
Su Lexuan giggled, snuggling closer to Shen Lang. "Yang Mi is super popular, and her figure is amazing."
"Come on, my girlfriend's figure isn't bad either!"
Shen Lang replied firmly, getting a little handsy while playfully boasting, "Look at this waist, look at these legs, how can they not be better than Yang Mi's?"
"Hehe, but she's got a great figure. Your girlfriend doesn't have that good of a body."
Su Lexuan laughed, clearly less nervous now. In the dim light, nestled in her boyfriend's strong arms, she blinked her bright eyes, curiosity and excitement filling them as she asked the question that had been on her mind.
"Shen Pig, do you prefer big or small?"
[Option 1: Small, just the right size to fit in my hand, that's perfect!]
[Option 2: Big, the kind that can smother you, that's my favorite!]
[Option 3: Just like yours, my favorite, because I like the process of raising it myself!]
"Just like yours, my favorite," Shen Lang answered with a mischievous smile. "Because I like the process of raising it myself."
"You're so naughty!!"
Su Lexuan's face turned bright red at Shen Lang's response, but she was delighted, playfully wriggling in his arms. Shen Lang's hands started to wander. "Babe, is it okay?"
Su Lexuan hesitated for a moment, her eyes welling up with tears, and she spoke in a soft, tearful tone.
"Shen Pig, you better be good to me. I'm giving you everything."
Her pitiful, tearful look tugged at Shen Lang's heartstrings, even making his normally carefree self feel a pang of emotion. Such a powerful charm she has.
"Yeah, no matter what happens, I'll be good to you for the rest of my life."
Shen Lang promised sincerely, a rare moment of seriousness from his usually playful self.
Su Lexuan was thrilled, her delicate, pretty face lighting up with a sweet smile that shone like stars.
[Ding! Su Lexuan's affection towards the host has increased by 5 points. It's now at 65 points. Keep up the good work!]
"Shen Pig, I really like you!"
And so, the once shy and anxious girl wrapped her slender, fair arms around Shen Lang's neck and passionately pressed her lips against his.
