"Muah."

With a hazy look in her eyes, Su Yuxin's small hands seemed to move on their own, resting on Ye Feng's shoulders. Her flushed cheeks were red as a ripe apple, and her bashful demeanor was incredibly adorable.

"How do you feel? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"

Ye Feng, however, did not lose his reason over her cuteness. Instead, he gently and affectionately stroked her head, asking out of concern. Though their interaction lacked wild passion or intense thrills, this tender, water-like companionship made their love feel even more profound.

"No. Actually... I really like it."

Su Yuxin replied in a soft, hazy voice. Her entire body had already gone limp, and she simply leaned against Ye Feng's chest, taking in small, shallow breaths of air.

"Brother Ye Feng, I was actually a little scared at first. Even though Mu Cheng and Meng Li told me that it would take some getting used to in the beginning, I'm quite timid, so their reassurance didn't really help me much."

As she spoke, Su Yuxin suddenly tilted her head up and planted a swift, gentle kiss on Ye Feng's cheek.

"But after spending this time with you, I feel much better. Because you are right here by my side, I'm no longer afraid of what comes next. In fact, I even hope that you will... love me a little more."

"Alright. Since you're ready, Yuxin, I won't say anything else. I promise to be gentle."

"Okay~"

Their eyes met and lingered for a long time. Eventually, bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight spilling through the window, their silhouettes merged together...

"Mmh."

"Nnh."

"Wha?"

It was only after Ye Feng reached out to gently brush aside the stray hairs on Su Yuxin's forehead that he noticed her dazed, overwhelmed expression and her completely limp body.

"Guh... hehe... I... love it, I love Brother Ye Feng~"

"I want... I want to stay by your side forever... I want it to be like this... forever and ever..."

Oh no, in the heat of the moment, I forgot about Yuxin's condition!

Sensing that something was wrong with her, Ye Feng hastily shook Su Yuxin's shoulders, repeatedly calling out her name.

"Yuxin? Yuxin, wake up! Don't fall into a trance!"

"......"

As the haze in Su Yuxin's eyes gradually cleared, life returned to her seemingly soulless shell, and she reverted to her normal self.

"Huh? What... what happened to me?"

"Phew, you're finally awake, Yuxin. If you had stayed unresponsive any longer, I was about to call an ambulance."

Seeing that Su Yuxin was safe and sound, Ye Feng breathed a long sigh of relief. He brushed away the strands of hair clinging to her sweat-slicked cheeks, panting slightly as the lingering heat of the moment had yet to fade.

"I'm sorry, Yuxin. I might have gone a bit too far just now. I truly apologize."

"Too far?"

It seemed Su Yuxin recalled something. She parted her lips slightly but quickly shut them again. Her bashful demeanor had lost its initial stiffness; now, she resembled a gorgeous flower in full bloom, exuding a rich, mature fragrance.

"I think everything was wonderful. Especially Brother Ye Feng's love... I accepted every bit of it with an open heart."

Su Yuxin looked as if she were savoring the memory. She shifted her legs slightly; although the aching soreness was uncomfortable, it brought her a distinct sense of accomplishment.

"Stop fooling around, Yuxin. Don't you think I know what your petite body can handle? Why don't we get some rest? We can have a doctor take a look at you tomorrow, alright?"

"No way!"

Having tasted the forbidden fruit, Su Yuxin was no longer the timid little girl who agreed to everything. Now, she was like a ravenous little snake.

"I'm perfectly fine, Brother Ye Feng. You can put your mind at ease~"

Su Yuxin's small hands instinctively crept up Ye Feng's arms, and she pressed her face close to his, her hot, eager breath brushing against his skin.

"Who knows my body better than I do? I know my own limits~"

Listening to Su Yuxin's endless coaxing, Ye Feng decided not to argue. He simply sat up and wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pulling her flush against his chest before she could even react.

"Oh? Is that so? Then why are your legs shaking like they have a motor attached to them?"

Ye Feng gently squeezed her knee and narrowed his eyes, pointing out how her legs were trembling from sheer exhaustion. It was glaringly obvious that her body was already signaling it had reached its limit.

"Whimper... Brother Ye Feng, don't worry about that. I can handle it."

"No! I'm doing this for your own good, Yuxin. I absolutely cannot—Mmph?!"

Before Ye Feng could finish his sentence, Su Yuxin leaned in and silenced him with a kiss. She knew he was simply being overly protective of her; if she didn't take the initiative, he would never make a move.

"Mmh..."

A faint, refreshing scent of strawberries lingered around Ye Feng's nose. The fruity sweetness perfectly captured Su Yuxin's essence, and the fire in his heart that he had just forcefully suppressed began to burn brightly once more.
