Chapter 39 (3)

Chu Lulin, considerate, put an arm around her shoulder to make her more comfortable.

With a shift in mindset, Jian Ran found the plot not that big a deal. She grew more casual, resting one hand on Chu Lulin's waist.

See? Who says you can only talk about love when watching a romance movie? Flirting works too.

Wait! Flirting?

In the dark, alone together—wasn't this the perfect time to flirt?

Once the thought crossed Jian Ran's mind, she felt restless. Especially with her hand on Chu Lulin's waist, she recalled the feel of his abs from that drunk night.

Jian Ran bit her lip and tentatively moved her hand.

Hey—no reaction.

But just as she secretly rejoiced and prepared to extend her sinful little paw again, Chu Lulin suddenly looked at her.

Jian Ran's heart skipped a beat. She immediately withdrew her hand, like a caught female pervert.

After a moment's hesitation, she chose to be an honest one: "I want to feel your abs. Is that okay?"

In the darkness, Chu Lulin's deep eyes stared at her for a long time. "Can big sister guarantee it's just the abs?"

Jian Ran blinked.

What did he mean by that? Where else would she touch?

Suddenly realizing something, she looked up in shock.

Wait, did Chu Lulin misunderstand her? She was just lustful, not lewd.

But before she could defend herself, the drunken blackout memories from that night came rushing back. Especially Chu Lulin's words: "Can't go any lower," which echoed in her mind like a loop.

"Um, I... I was drunk. I didn't mean to."

Even though she was a bit flustered, Jian Ran was always bold even when not in the right. "Besides, didn't you agree that day? You said next time I could touch. Or were you lying to me?"

Chu Lulin chuckled. "Don't be mad, big sister. I didn't say you can't touch."

With that, he lifted the hem of his sweater. "Go ahead, big sister."

Jian Ran was caught off guard by this move, frozen for a moment.

Actually, when her lost memories started attacking her, she had lost the desire to feel his abs. But now that she was put on the spot, not touching seemed wrong.

So, Jian Ran gritted her teeth and reached out.

But she couldn't focus on the sensation at all. To prove her innocence, she was tense all over, afraid her hand might touch somewhere it shouldn't.

A hint of teasing glimmered in Chu Lulin's eyes. He deliberately provoked her: "If big sister wants to go further, I can cooperate."

Who asked him to cooperate?

Normally, Jian Ran wouldn't be led by the nose, but right now she was already nervous. Hearing this, she became flustered and angry. "I don't want to!!"

"Really don't?"

"Stop talking! I don't, I don't..."
