12:30 AM.
Qin Yuenan dragged her exhausted body into the bathroom.
However, she didn’t rush to turn on the shower. Instead, she stood before the full-length mirror, carefully searching for the "evidence" of Lin Shen’s teasing.
It was an unsightly mess of various marks.
Qin Yuenan took one glance before closing her eyes. The shame and annoyance in her heart only began to settle after several deep breaths.
’Qin Yuenan, oh, Qin Yuenan, you’ve really gone wild!’
After cursing herself under her breath, Qin Yuenan walked to the shower and began to wash her entire body, especially her chest, thighs, and neck.
These were the spots where Lin Shen had left the most marks.
But no matter how the hot water cascaded over her, the lingering hickeys showed no signs of fading. They even stood in stark contrast against her fair skin.
’Pervert!’
A blush tinged Qin Yuenan’s cheeks as she worked up a lather on her bath loofah with shower gel and washed her entire body.
She couldn’t quite remember how most of the marks had been made; only a few stood out in her memory.
Especially the ones on her chest. Qin Yuenan could still recall Lin Shen’s ravenous expression.
’I’m your girlfriend!’
’Not your mother!’
Qin Yuenan subconsciously crossed her arms over her chest, fuming in embarrassment.
Though she was grumbling about Lin Shen, she could still feel how much he liked her.
That look of utter obsession and desire definitely wasn’t an act.
’My body seems to be really attractive to him.’
After reaching this conclusion, Qin Yuenan’s mood suddenly improved. At least she wasn’t so frustrated anymore.
WHOOSH—!
After washing the marks from her body, Qin Yuenan detached the shower head and began to rinse herself from the bottom up.
Though she was supposedly in her safe window, she was still a little worried.
The strange discomfort she felt all over her body only added to her sense of panic.
’What if I hit the jackpot?’
’After all, I calculated the timing myself. If there was any error, I’d be completely screwed!’
Qin Yuenan hurriedly turned off the shower, dried her hands with a towel, and walked out to grab her phone, planning to ask Zhao Jianing for advice.
After all, she was the most experienced one when it came to this sort of thing.
Qin Yuenan opened WeChat and saw that Zhao Jianing had sent several replies after seeing the photo she’d sent earlier.
9:20 PM
[Zhao Jianing: Holy shit! Such a huge bouquet of fresh roses? Did Lin Shen confess to you?]
[Zhao Jianing: I’m so jealous! Our Nannan has finally found her happiness.]
9:40 PM
[Zhao Jianing: Why aren’t you replying? Are you doing something weird with Lin Shen? (smirk)]
[Zhao Jianing: It’s so hard to guess... what could you two possibly be doing so late at night?]
[Zhao Jianing: Missed call]
[Zhao Jianing: Fine, fine, fine! Not picking up your phone, are you? I’m going to bed. Awaiting your good news tomorrow.]
’She went to sleep?’
A wave of panic hit Qin Yuenan, and she immediately called her.
The phone rang for a long time before Zhao Jianing finally answered, her voice utterly drowsy.
"Hello? Who’s this?"
"Ningning."
"Nannan?"
Upon hearing Qin Yuenan’s familiar voice, Zhao Jianing on the other end of the line immediately perked up, her voice becoming much clearer.
"It’s past twelve, what are you calling me for?"
"Um, I have a question for you..."
Qin Yuenan bit her lip. After a moment of hesitation, she asked in a low voice.
"Do you know... which brand of morning-after pill works best?"
"Holy shit!"
Zhao Jianing’s favorite curse word echoed from the other end of the line. Her tone was a mixture of shock and exasperated concern.
