Chapter 196 Tonight is a lucky night!
Wu Gang was so scared his heart almost jumped out of his chest; his hand was like it was welded shut,
as he "slapped" it over Li Lei's mouth.
"This kid really has no filter when he's drunk,"
"If Li Sisi brings up Lin Chen's situation, won't things descend into total chaos?"
While holding Li Lei down firmly, his face was contorted into a fake smile that looked worse than crying,
as he bowed and scraped before Li Sisi:
"Sister Sisi, don't take it to heart. He's had too much to drink and is just talking nonsense. It's pure drunken babble, you can't take it seriously!"
Zhang Peng, standing beside him, also panicked, fearing Li Lei would blurt out something else he shouldn't.
He quickly reached out to grab Li Lei's arm,
and moved his other hand toward his mouth, hurriedly adding:
"Right, right, right, Sister Sisi. He's a lightweight but loves to act tough. He starts talking nonsense after just a few drinks. Please don't believe a word he says!"
Being smothered and pulled by the two of them, Li Lei's face turned beet red.
He was still mumbling and struggling in his throat, his arms and legs flailing. His clumsy and panicked appearance,
made it so Li Sisi could no longer hold it in. She covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking,
as she let out a soft laugh, the amusement in her eyes practically overflowing.
Wu Gang and Zhang Peng struggled for a while, and only when they saw Li Lei had finally calmed down a bit did they breathe a slight sigh of relief.
Only then did Li Sisi straighten up, wiping away the tears from laughing so hard.
She waved her hand, her tone light and a bit teasing:
"Alright, alright, stop pulling him. Any more and you'll strangle him."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over the two nervous men,
before landing on Lin Chen, who was pretending to be calm. She smiled and dropped a bombshell:
"Besides, if Lin Chen has multiple girlfriends, I don't mind!"
As soon as those words were spoken, Wu Gang and Zhang Peng's movements instantly froze.
Their grip on Li Lei snapped open, and their eyes widened,
their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit an egg, their faces filled with disbelief.
"What?"
"She doesn't mind?"
This isn't how the plot is supposed to go!
"Huh?"
Li Lei was also dazed, and most of his drunkenness seemed to have vanished.
Pushing the hand away from his face, he stared blankly at Li Sisi, his voice slurred and shocked:
"W-what?"
"Sister Sisi, could you say that again?"
Li Sisi ignored the three of them and turned to look at Lin Chen.
Her eyes were full of tenderness and doting. She took a step forward, stood on her tiptoes,
and pressed a light kiss on his cheek. Her voice was soft and a bit playful:
"How could a Handsome Guy like Lin Chen only have one woman?"
She paused intentionally, glanced at the dumbfounded trio, and added with a smile:
"As his Big Sister, I can't handle him all by myself!"
Wu Gang, Zhang Peng, and Li Lei were completely frozen,
as if their pressure points had been struck, standing motionless on the spot.
Even the air seemed to have solidified.
After a long while, Zhang Peng finally snapped out of it. He stared at Lin Chen with a miserable expression,
his voice dripping with envy, jealousy, and hate:
"Oh my god!"
"Brother Chen, do you know how to cast Love Spells or use Magic?"
"This girlfriend is way too loyal, isn't she?"
"She's not even angry?"
A smug smile curled at the corner of Lin Chen's mouth. He raised an eyebrow and shook his head,
his tone annoying and a bit boastful: "Your big brother here has that kind of charm, is that a problem?"
After saying that, he stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes,
and waved to the three of them:
"We've finished eating, so it's time for us to head back. Oh, right, I won't be returning to the dorm tonight."
As he spoke, he winked at Wu Gang and the others, the ambiguity and pride in his eyes impossible to hide.
"Holy crap!"
The three of them shouted in unison, their faces instantly breaking into knowing smirks,
as they huddled together and whispered:
"Brother Chen is incredible! Tonight is going to be a treat for him!"
Lin Chen smiled and ruffled Li Sisi's hair.
The two walked side-by-side toward the door, leaving the three Single Dogs behind to wail in envy.
Downstairs at Li Sisi's home, Lin Chen looked at her from the side. The light fell on her slightly flushed cheeks,
and even the tips of her ears were tinged with a faint pink.
They entered the house.
"Go rest first, I'm going to take a shower."
Her voice was very soft.
About twenty minutes later, Li Sisi walked out wearing a loose Silk Nightgown.
The neckline was loose, her hair was still dripping, and the damp ends clung to her neck, giving off a lazy and seductive vibe.
She stood not far away, her toes curling slightly.
Her cheeks were so red they looked like they might drip blood, and her voice was shy, with a bit of a bashful stutter:
"Y-you should go wash up first. The water is ready."
Lin Chen's eyes instantly lit up, and his heart began to soar, his thoughts racing wildly.
This nightgown, this expression—she was practically seducing him!
Suppressing the wild joy in his heart, he drawled intentionally and replied with a smile:
"Alright, as you command!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he acted like a madman, ripping off his towel in a few quick motions,
and rushing into the bathroom stark naked, his movements so fast they kicked up a breeze.
From behind him came Li Sisi's voice, both angry and embarrassed, tinged with a coquettish tone:
"You have no shame!"
After saying that, she covered her face, the base of her ears turning completely red, yet her heart felt secretly sweet.
In truth, she was also looking forward to something.
While Lin Chen was showering in the downstairs bathroom, his mind was filled with the image of Li Sisi from just now.
The sound of the rushing water couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart; his movements unconsciously sped up, wishing he could rush back up immediately.
Lin Chen finished his shower incredibly fast, coming out in less than five minutes.
His hair wasn't even dried properly, and water droplets slid down his neck, dripping onto his firm chest.
In the living room, Li Sisi was sitting on the sofa drying her hair, the Hairdryer humming away.
Her eyes were lowered, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow over her eyelids.
"Finished washing so soon?"
Hearing the movement, Li Sisi looked up at him, a flicker of amusement in her eyes as she teased him.
Lin Chen leaned in and sat down next to her with a wicked grin, his gaze fixed intently on her,
his tone so suggestive it was practically dripping:
"Of course. I didn't want to keep my Sisi waiting too long, did I?"
He reached out to take the Hairdryer.
"Come, let me blow-dry it for you. Sit still."
Li Sisi didn't refuse; she nodded gently and lowered her head slightly, as if accepting his intimacy.
But as she lowered her head, the loose neckline of her nightgown slid down a bit,
revealing a portion of her proud, fair mounds—delicate and full.
Seeing this, Lin Chen's blood instantly boiled, and it felt as if all the blood in his body had rushed to his head.
He took the Hairdryer, his fingers trembling slightly, not even knowing where the nozzle was pointing.
He was too busy staring fixedly at the scenery,
not even noticing when the Hairdryer blew onto his own hand, oblivious even as his fingertips turned numb from the heat.
"Hey! Where are you blowing that thing?"
Li Sisi felt the air blowing in the wrong direction and looked up to glare at him, but seeing his lecherous, wide-eyed stare,
she couldn't help but laugh out loud, her eyes full of coquettish reproach.
"Are you really that impatient? You're not even drying my hair properly!"
Only then did Lin Chen snap out of it. He scratched his head and chuckled.
Just as he was about to apologize, he heard Li Sisi say softly:
"Forget it, it's almost dry anyway."
She paused and looked up at him, her eyes containing a hint of provocation,
yet also a touch of shyness. Her voice was soft, but carried a potent seductive power:
"You want to see, don't you?"
