254: Chapter 254 Let's hug a little longer

After dinner, Chen Yu took the initiative to clear the dishes, and the two of them nestled together in the soft, large sofa in the living room with a tacit understanding.

The neon lights of the city outside the window filtered through the sheer curtains, casting hazy shadows.

Chen Yu connected his phone to the sound system and played a soothing song they both liked, dominated by piano and light jazz.

Su Lingyin leaned comfortably on Chen Yu's shoulder, her eyes closed as she felt the music flow.

Chen Yu held her gently with one arm, while his other hand unconsciously stroked her loose hair.

Su Lingyin suddenly spoke, her voice carrying the laziness that comes with relaxation: "Speaking of which, which version did Huaxing finally settle on? Was it the final version you drafted?"

Chen Yu looked down at her, his gaze tender: "It's the version you suggested where I added more personal narrative; they liked the chorus particularly well."

"I knew it!" Su Lingyin opened her eyes and looked up at him with a hint of pride.

"Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon; it's much more useful than piling up flowery words and complex arrangements."

"Yes, yes, yes, Teacher Su is wise." Chen Yu smiled and pinched her nose dotingly.

"So, do you have any ideas for your next song?" Su Lingyin asked with concern.

"Of course I do; regret is quite easy to write about."

"Then what is Mr. Chen's regret?"

Chen Yu: "Not meeting you sooner."

Su Lingyin pursed her lips; Chen Yu was getting better and better at sweet-talking.

"Your mouth is like it's been smeared with honey."

The two snuggled quietly together, the air filled with the faint lingering scent of food, the mellow aroma of red wine, and the peaceful, sweet aura that belonged only to them.

As the night deepened, the city lights outside became sparse, leaving only scattered points of light like distant stars.

Only a bedside lamp was lit in the bedroom, emitting a soft orange glow that enveloped the entire space in a warm atmosphere.

The relaxed joy of the previous celebration had now settled, transforming into a deeper and more intimate flow of emotion.

Chen Yu and Su Lingyin embraced, falling onto the soft bedding, their noses lightly touching as they could clearly feel each other's warm breath.

"Today... I'm really happy," Su Lingyin said softly, her fingers unconsciously twirling the collar of Chen Yu's pajamas.

"Mm," Chen Yu responded in a low voice, his gaze tenderly tracing her features.

"Happier than winning first place."

Su Lingyin chuckled, her fingertip tapping his chest: "Stop it, you still have to fight for first place."

"I know." Chen Yu caught her mischievous hand and held it in his palm.

"But some things are more important than rankings, like right now." He lowered his head and kissed her fingertips.

This gentle kiss was like a switch, and the atmosphere quietly shifted.

The previous joking gradually faded, and the air filled with a silent expectation and a thick, inseparable tenderness.

Chen Yu's fingers gently ran through Su Lingyin's hair scattered on the pillow, slowly stroking her cheeks and neck, his gaze deep, filled with love and the ignited desire of the moment.

Su Lingyin closed her eyes slightly, her long lashes trembling, feeling this gentle touch.

She took the initiative to tilt her head up and kiss his lips.

The kiss was initially a gentle probe, then gradually deepened, filled with the power of comfort and giving.

"Chen Yu..." she murmured between kisses, her voice trembling slightly.

"I'm here."

He responded in a low voice, his kisses lingering by her ear as his warm breath brushed past.

"Su Su, have I ever told you that you look especially beautiful tonight?"

Su Lingyin's cheeks were flushed, and she opened her misty eyes to look at him: "When did you learn to be so glib?"

Chen Yu's gaze was serious and focused: "It's not being glib, it's the truth, especially seeing how happy you are for me."

Their clothes had been shed at some point, and skin touched skin, transferring scorching body temperatures.

Chen Yu's kisses fell densely, from her lips to her earlobes, then to her collarbone, each spot treated with immense reverence and love.

"Wait a moment..." Su Lingyin suddenly pushed his shoulder gently, her breath a bit unsteady.

Chen Yu stopped immediately, looking at her with concern: "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"

"No," Su Lingyin shook her head, her gaze soft and slightly playful.

"I just want to see clearly what you look like right now." She reached out, her fingertips gently tracing his sweat-dampened forehead and tight jawline.

Chen Yu chuckled, caught her hand, and pressed it to his chest: "Then do you see clearly? Is my heart beating fast?"

Under her palm, his heart beat powerfully, like a drum.

"Mm. Just as fast as mine." Su Lingyin felt that vigorous life force, her gaze softening even more.

They stopped talking, once again immersing themselves in this unspoken dance.

Sweat soaked their hair at the temples, and their breaths intertwined, rapid and scorching.

At the peak of passion, Chen Yu held Su Lingyin tightly, calling her name in a low voice by her ear: "Su Su..."

And Su Lingyin responded with an even tighter embrace, burying her face in the crook of his neck, responding with a sob-like and satisfied trill: "Chen Yu... I love you."

After the passion, everything slowly returned to calm.

The two held each other, their rapid breathing gradually leveling out.

Chen Yu pulled over a thin quilt and carefully covered them, his fingers still occasionally stroking Su Lingyin's smooth back.

Su Lingyin was like a satisfied cat, curled up in his arms, her cheek pressed against his still-sweaty chest.

"Are you tired?" she asked lazily.

"Not at all." Chen Yu tightened his arms, holding her even closer.

"It would be best if it could always be like this."

Su Lingyin chuckled, her voice weary, "Keep dreaming, I have to work tomorrow..."

"Then let's hug a little longer." Chen Yu lowered his head and kissed the top of her head.

"Thank you, Su Su."

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for... always being here."

Su Lingyin didn't answer, just snuggled closer to him, a satisfied and peaceful smile on her lips.

The world outside had long since fallen asleep, while in their world, only each other's body temperature, steady heartbeats, and this bone-deep peace remained.

"Goodnight, Su Su."

"Goodnight, Chen Chen."

...

These past few days, Li Fang's popularity remained high and couldn't be suppressed, having already been treated as a typical example in the entertainment industry, but none of this affected other people's lives.

Chen Yu was busy shooting the endorsement posters and promotional videos for Huaxing Mobile.

Time flew by during the busy process.

Friday morning, exactly ten o'clock.

Huaxing Mobile's official Weibo, WeChat Official Account, and official website updated simultaneously, releasing a meticulously produced theme song poster.

The poster featured a deep starry sky as the background, with a meteor trail streaking across, ending at the shimmering silhouette of the Huaxing "Dream Series" mobile phone.

In the center was a striking title—

[Huaxing Dream Series Theme Song — "Dream" · Chen Yu]

Below, small characters noted: "Listen to the voice of dreams, witness every step of growth."
