Take It Easy

Chapter 296

The air in the cramped space heated up rapidly, and the sound of their intertwined, ragged breathing was infinitely magnified in her ears.

Ye Zhenzhen was trapped between the door and his warm chest.

A step back was the cold wooden door; a step forward was the young man's scorching body heat.

Flustered, she clutched the collar of her pajamas in a death grip.

Her long eyelashes fluttered uneasily, not even daring to take another look at the "wolf" in front of her.

To hide her heart that felt like it was about to leap out of her throat, she grew anxious and started babbling incoherently.

"Gu 'Dog' Ran, don't you try anything funny!"

"This kind of 'overriding your older sister' behavior of yours is outrageous and rebellious!"

Gu Ran was amused by this totally illogical accusation.

He let out a low chuckle, the vibration of his chest transmitting clearly through their thin clothing.

He leaned in slightly, propping both hands against the door to firmly trap her within his territory.

His warm lips brushed against her burning earlobe, seemingly there and not there.

"How can this be called rebellious?"

"In my eyes, Dr. Ye is a priceless treasure."

"Besides, our parents have already given their stamp of approval. Not only do they not object, they highly support it. What are you afraid of?"

Ye Zhenzhen's face flushed red with anger at this shameless remark. She was just about to retort.

But before she could unleash her words, Gu Ran lowered his head and sealed her lips, swallowing all her protests into his stomach.

Unlike his usual kisses that carried a hint of punishment or plunder, the young man kissed her exceptionally gently and tenderly this time.

He lingered delicately on her lips, tracing their shape little by little, carrying absolute seduction.

Ye Zhenzhen was kissed dizzy. Her rationality gradually went offline, and the tension in her body was completely melted away by this gentle offensive.

She sighed silently in her heart: Forget it, she did like Gu Ran, even more than she had imagined.

It was the kind of like where she wanted to share a home with him and see his figure the moment she woke up every morning.

Since that was the case, let tonight be the "natural progression of things" that her mom had once hinted at.

Having figured this out, Ye Zhenzhen simply let go, dropping all her defenses.

She hesitantly raised her arms, slowly climbing up the young man's shoulders until she wrapped them around his neck.

Clumsily but firmly, she responded to the kiss.

Gu Ran visibly stiffened for a moment, clearly not expecting such an active response.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the young man understood her intention.

Turning passive into active, he clasped her waist with one hand and deepened the kiss.

Their clothes fell onto the wooden floor amidst their tangled pulling, making faint rustling sounds.

When Gu Ran scooped her up by the waist and tossed her onto the soft bed, Ye Zhenzhen was left with only a thin piece of undergarment.

Feeling the scorching temperature of their skin pressing together, the young woman's sense of shame instantly maxed out, and her rationality began to struggle frantically again.

Her cheeks completely flushed, she hurriedly reached out to cover Gu Ran's possessive eyes.

"See no evil! Hurry up and turn off the light!"

"With the light on, I feel like fish on a chopping block. No way, go turn off the light!"

With his eyes covered, Gu Ran sighed helplessly, but his voice was full of unconcealed laughter.

"What's there to be shy about."

It wasn't like he hadn't seen it in his dreams...

He didn't say these words out loud.

Ye Zhenzhen grew anxious and pinched the soft flesh at his waist hard.

"If you don't turn off the light, I... I'll run away!"

Seeing her stance of absolutely not letting go unless the light was off, Gu Ran could only raise his hands in surrender.

"Alright, alright, let go first. I'll go turn it off."

Running away was out of the question; this was a rare opportunity.

If he missed this time, who knew when the next time she would yield would be.

After speaking, he took the opportunity to kiss the palm of the girl's hand that was covering his face, leaving behind a warm sensation.

Ye Zhenzhen's face instantly burned up. She quickly retracted her hand as if electrocuted and curled herself into a ball.

Gu Ran got up and walked to the wall switch. With a click, the room plunged into a comforting, safe dimness.

He didn't return to the bed immediately. Instead, using the cover of darkness, he crouched on the floor and fumbled for the pants he had just taken off.

He rummaged through his pockets, preparing to pull out the box of equipment he had premeditatedly prepared.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of the moment Gu Ran turned his head, Ye Zhenzhen abruptly sat up on the bed.

She pulled open the nightstand drawer and fumbled around blindly, praying wildly in her heart that she wouldn't fail to find it.

Finally, she felt the small packet her mom had previously forced into her suitcase.

She clutched it tightly in her hand and then quickly lay back down.

Gu Ran walked back to the bed with his item and pressed back down onto Ye Zhenzhen, bringing with him a burst of fresh fragrance.

The girl squeezed her eyes shut, putting on the heroic posture of a warrior about to march to the execution grounds, and stutteringly opened her palm.

"H-here... for you."

By the faint light filtering in from outside the window, Gu Ran's gaze fell on that tiny packet, and his movements froze in mid-air.

He felt the identical item in his own hand that he hadn't yet had the chance to reveal, and unable to hold back, he burst into a low laugh.

He pressed his body down and softly teased against her ear, his warm breath entirely spraying into the crook of her neck.

"Older sister, are you securing the provisions before the troops even move? You were actually prepared even earlier than I was."

"It seems Dr. Ye's mouth says no, but her body is very honest in preparing for our cohabitation."

Ye Zhenzhen was so ashamed she wanted to die, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into and flee overnight carrying a train on her back.

"Stop flattering yourself! My mom stuffed this in, it didn't even pass through my hands!"

She was just about to continue arguing how innocent she was, but Gu Ran had already put away his teasing tone.

He lowered his voice, his deep and gentle tone carrying a solemn reverence.

"Since older sister is prepared, then let's try this one first."

"Zhenzhen, open your eyes and look at me."

He tenderly kissed the girl's tightly shut eyelids, his movements unbelievably gentle.

Ye Zhenzhen's brain short-circuited for a second.

What did he mean by try this one first? Did he have other stock in his hands?!

Amidst extreme shyness, she slowly opened her eyes.

In the dim light, she met the young man's eyes, which were brimming with passion and love.

Gu Ran looked at her quietly, with no extra nonsense, getting straight to the point.

"Zhenzhen, let's be together."

Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen's face turned impossibly red as she replied with a voice as soft as a mosquito.

"Mhm... Gu 'Dog' Ran... I like you."

Just one sentence acted as a reassuring pill for Gu Ran.

The young man slowly leaned closer...

The two inexperienced young people began their clumsy yet reverent exploration step by step in the dim room.

Throughout the entire process, Ye Zhenzhen's brain was completely blank, crashing entirely, and she could only let the young man lead her.

[Censorship failed o(╥﹏╥)o, 200 words omitted here...]

Tears were forced from the corners of her eyes. Gritting her teeth, she reached out to pinch Gu Ran's shoulder, her nails leaving several red marks.

"Gu Ran, you big liar! What happened to being gentle!"

"How is this gentle at all? This is simply... Ah! I'm sending you to the dissection table tomorrow!"

Gu Ran's heart ached as he lowered his head, gently kissing away the tears at the corners of her eyes while continuously coaxing her.

"Zhenzhen... look at me."

He tenderly soothed the flustered girl.

"Dr. Ye has studied systematic anatomy, after all. The adaptation period will pass very quickly."

[(/.\) I'm numb...] All the chaotic thoughts in Ye Zhenzhen's mind were thrown completely out the window.

Only the young man in front of her remained in her world, their bodies and minds achieving a perfect union in this moment.

The night outside the window grew heavier, and the bright moonlight seemed especially understanding.

It shyly hid behind the thick clouds, leaving only a faint glimmer spilling onto the balcony.

It left the young lovers inside, who had finally consummated their relationship, to spend this long night together undisturbed.

The next morning, a bright ray of sunlight pierced through the loosely drawn curtains, shining upon the thoroughly messy room.

The wadded tissues in the trash can, along with a few scattered little blue wrappers, all stood as a testament to the crazy battle that took place last night.

Ye Zhenzhen slowly woke up to a terrible ache in her lower back, the first thing catching her eye being Gu Ran's magnified handsome face.

Recalling the man's insatiable demands from the night before, she kicked Gu Ran's calf in embarrassment and annoyance.

"It's all your fault! I still have to go to the library to study today, and now I can't even get out of bed!"

"Look at those things on the floor. Gu Ran, you're simply an animal!"

Gu Ran wasn't at all annoyed at being kicked awake. Stretching out a long arm, he scooped her right back into his embrace, closed his eyes, and started acting shamelessly.

"Study for what? Just rest at home today. I'll be your exclusive body pillow for the whole day."

"Besides, Dr. Ye was clearly very cooperative last night. How can you blame it all on me?"

Ye Zhenzhen was rendered completely speechless by his teasing. All she could do was bury her face deeply into his chest and play dead.

The early autumn sunlight fell upon the embracing couple, coating this newly established home in a warm and cozy hue.
