Chapter 749 - 747: A Few Questions
"Huh?"
Chen Tianlong was stunned. What on earth was happening? However, when he looked at Shen Yan again, she was still asleep. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, was she sleepwalking just now?
Little did he know, Shen Yan actually thought she was dreaming. In reality, she was awake, but she believed it was a dream, so she didn’t open her eyes.
Since it was a dream, Chen Tianlong didn’t push her away, letting her sleep comfortably. He then carried Shen Yan step by step toward the door and locked it. Otherwise, if someone came in and saw this situation, it might spread like wildfire on the campus.
Now that Chen Tianlong had closed the door, even if someone came, they would think no one was there and leave if he kept quiet.
After doing all this, Chen Tianlong returned to his original position. The feeling of holding Shen Yan in his arms was rather nice; a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, causing a slight reaction.
Shen Yan, sitting on Chen Tianlong’s lap, suddenly felt something was off and opened her eyes to check.
At this moment, their eyes met. In a TV drama or novel, the female lead would slowly close her eyes, and the male lead would lean in for a kiss.
But with Chen Tianlong, it was different.
Chen Tianlong was startled, touched Shen Yan’s forehead again, and asked, "Shen Yan, I’ve observed you; you don’t seem to have a fever and should be fine, right?"
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Chen Tianlong was startled by Shen Yan’s shout and echoed her, but at this moment, embarrassment took over everything because Shen Yan realized she was in Chen Tianlong’s arms, with her bottom on his thigh—a rather captivating position for both men and women.
Shen Yan hurriedly climbed down, but in her haste, she almost fell to the ground. Chen Tianlong quickly grabbed her and helped her up before she hit the floor.
Fortunately, Chen Tianlong had strong arms; otherwise, he might have ended up on the floor as well.
However, when Chen Tianlong grabbed her, his hand seemed to land in the wrong place. But in a crisis, who thinks so much? He just grabbed her up, and Shen Yan ended up back in Chen Tianlong’s arms.
At this moment, the startled Shen Yan, having forgotten her shyness, leaned against Chen Tianlong’s chest, breathing heavily in relief.
But in the next second, she looked down and found Chen Tianlong’s hand tightly clutching her chest. Her fair face instantly flushed red.
"Chen Tianlong, let go; it hurts a bit!"
Shen Yan’s face was flushed. She didn’t dare turn back to look. Both were about the same age and could be considered peers, making such actions quite suggestive.
"Ah? Let go what, grab... grab... huh?" Chen Tianlong said as he moved his hand slightly, felt something soft, immediately realized, blushed halfway, and quickly withdrew his hand.
Without Chen Tianlong’s arm around her, Shen Yan quickly escaped from his embrace. Then, a bit awkward, she asked, "Chen Tianlong, why did you come here?"
"Teacher, I needed to ask you something. I’m having trouble understanding a few problems and want to hear your explanation to clear my thoughts," Chen Tianlong said, also intending to help Lin Wushuang take notes, so he could explain to her later.
"I see."
Seeing Chen Tianlong become serious, Shen Yan’s emotions quieted down considerably. After all, the relationship between them was somewhat subtle, and their earlier actions were nothing compared to even having kissed before, making this trivial.
So, the earlier episode was quickly forgotten by both.
Like the occasional bickering between couples, once it’s over, it’s forgotten. Here, ’forgotten’ means those ambiguous situations that aren’t deliberately orchestrated.
These moments weren’t something they could control or intentionally play out, so they couldn’t help it.
"Yes, that’s right." Chen Tianlong nodded slightly, saying.
"Okay, bring over the issues, and let’s study them together," Shen Yan said, quickly returning to her teacher role, showing professional habits, as did Chen Tianlong, becoming serious.
For Lin Wushuang, he had to listen carefully, so at this moment, he forgot about the alluring fragrance on Shen Yan and her enticing figure.
"Alright, teacher."
Chen Tianlong gently smiled, very fond of Shen Yan’s personality, and wanted to get closer because each time, he could smell that faint fragrance. He didn’t know if it was her shampoo, body wash, or perfume, but it had been there since their first meeting.
So, there were two possibilities: she used the same product, or it was her natural scent, commonly known as body fragrance.
Before long, the two started an endless discussion about English problems.
In no time, it was nearing dusk, and Chen Tianlong had figured out the dozen or so problems. Looking at the dusky night outside, he checked the time on his phone. It was already seven o’clock. However, Chen Tianlong didn’t need to pick up the young miss, and Xiaoyu was staying at school to wait for the martial arts competition to end before going home with him.
"Okay, teacher, you should also get off work now. You’ve worked hard." Chen Tianlong smiled.
"Alright, then... I’m heading home." Shen Yan seemed to have something to say, but when the words reached her lips, she decided against it.
Chen Tianlong’s observational skills were keen, especially when dealing with beauties; his reactions were swift, naturally so, it couldn’t be helped.
"Teacher, do you need any help?" Chen Tianlong noticed Shen Yan’s hesitation and asked.
"Well... I don’t really want to bother you, given that where I live is not on your route," Shen Yan honestly replied.
"Hehe, teacher, what are you saying? I’m more than happy to help you. Just let me know what you need, and don’t underestimate me," Chen Tianlong said, lightly tapping his chest twice with his fist, continuing, "See how solid I am? Trust me, you can’t go wrong."
"..."
Shen Yan was speechless for a moment but was delighted by Chen Tianlong’s willingness to help her. After hesitating for a bit, she said, "Alright. I just ordered a bed from Taobao, and it’s been delivered downstairs. I asked the lady from the neighboring shop to keep an eye on it, and I’ll need to move it upstairs when I get home. However, as you know, I don’t know many guys at school, they’re all students, so..."
"Hehe, no worries, that’s a small matter, leave it to me," Chen Tianlong said cheerfully. Indeed, helping move something upstairs was no challenge for him.
Never mind one, if they were stacked well enough, Chen Tianlong could carry ten beds. A true practitioner uses Qi, not strength. And for Chen Tianlong, Qi is very abundant, so he had no concerns.
