Chapter 246 The Seventeenth Day of Entering a Restricted Novel

However, reality quickly came back to slap him in the face.

"Brother Wenguang... this is outside..." You Shou's voice came through, soft and tearful-sounding, his tone sticky and sweet, like a hook, easily stirring up some people's protective instincts... and other desires too: "You... you're bullying me..."

Liang Wenguang looked at You Shou's pitiful, tear-streaked face, delicate and endearing. His Adam's apple moved, and his breathing quickened.

He reached out impatiently and pulled You Shou into a tight hug, his voice filled with suppressed excitement: "It's okay, Shoushou, nobody else is here!"

"But... what if someone comes?" You Shou shook his head, tears falling like broken pearls, streaming down his face, yet his arms half-heartedly wrapped around Liang Wenguang's waist: "We can't... not here..."

Liang Wenguang leaned in closer, almost touching You Shou's ear: "If someone comes, we'll go deeper into the woods—it's more hidden over there."

With that, without waiting for You Shou to "refuse" again, he eagerly lowered his head and found his pouted lips, kissing them.

You Shou half-heartedly struggled for a moment, then softened in the other's arms, letting out faint, ambiguous whimpers.

Chu Chen hadn't paid any attention to the two at first, treating them like passing strangers. His entire focus was on An Yi, who was beside him.

But the increasingly clear voices from over there, followed by unmistakably sticky sounds of something wrong, finally connected his dull social awareness to reality.

His eyes went blank. Once he understood everything, his face filled with shock!

These two! So shameless!

In broad daylight, under the clear sky!

How could they do something like this?!

And... An Yi is right here! This is polluting An Yi's eyes and ears!

In a panic, Chu Chen lunged over, ignoring all social distance and politeness. His first instinct was to reach out and cover An Yi's ears tightly!

As if that could block out those indecent sights and sounds.

An Yi didn't push his hand away.

He even calmly picked up the bottle of water he'd bought at the nearby convenience store, unscrewed the cap, and took a slow, deliberate sip, his gaze resting peacefully on the dazzling sunlight reflected off a distant high-rise's glass curtain wall, his eyes as calm as an ancient well.

It was as if the commotion of the wild couple nearby and the slightly trembling hand over his ears didn't exist.

Chu Chen himself was furious, but he didn't dare look back at the "scandalous" scene. Instead, he leaned close to An Yi, lowering his voice, filled with anger and confusion, and asked urgently: "Should we call the police and have them arrested?!"

"Pfft—cough, cough..." An Yi almost choked on the water, letting out a low laugh, barely managing to turn his head away in time.

He put down the bottle, thought for a moment, and said succinctly: "Just chase them off."

Chu Chen nodded, half-understanding, and proposed very seriously: "Then should I yell?"

An Yi: "..."

He closed his eyes wearily, feeling that being with Chu Chen always tested both his patience and his sense of humor.

An Yi stood up, and this finally made Chu Chen let go of his hand from covering An Yi's ears.

But An Yi's next move completely froze Chu Chen in place.

He reached out and gently pressed his hand on Chu Chen's head, pulling the indignant, seemingly about-to-crash Dr. Curly—who had just witnessed a "restricted scene"—toward himself.

He let the side of Chu Chen's face rest against his own chest, while at the same time raising his other hand to gently cup and cover Chu Chen's ears.

This Dr. Curly, who would blush and apologize at the mere mention of a "sweet talk," as innocent as a blank slate, was probably truly frightened.

An Yi thought with a hint of helplessness.

Chu Chen's eyes widened instantly, his whole body as if someone had pressed the pause button.

His heartbeat, which had been normal just a moment ago, suddenly went out of control, pounding wildly in his chest.

The ear covered by An Yi's hand and the side of his face pressed against An Yi's body rapidly grew hot, becoming scorching.

He instinctively held his breath first, not daring to move.

A second later, a crisp, pleasant scent unique to An Yi lingered around his nose, like a pine forest after a snowfall, yet with a hint of warmth.

So good...

He then, as if possessed, stealthily took another breath.

Really good.

Realizing what he had done, Chu Chen's earlobes and even his neck instantly turned bright red and burning hot, overwhelmed by immense shame—he was so bad!

He was really too naughty! Chu Chen scolded himself inwardly.

The movement of An Yi standing up and his action of pulling Chu Chen close surprisingly did not disturb the two people who were completely absorbed in each other.

They were still immersed in each other's "world," making subtle, blush-inducing sounds.

An Yi: ...

Truly an eye-opening experience; his patience was at its limit.

He couldn't help speaking coldly, "This is a public area!"

This sudden sound was clearly audible to You Shou and Liang Wenguang.

The two instantly sprang apart, their faces filled with panic and the shame and annoyance of being caught.

You Shou looked over in panic, his face still bearing the remnants of a flush and tear stains.

Then he saw An Yi standing there with a cold expression.

You Shou: "..."

Damn! Why him again?! This is the third time, right?!

And every time he's caught with a different person!

He had even thought of having a chance to seduce An Yi, this prime catch, but unfortunately never found an opportunity to get close.

Now that he finally ran into him, it's another scene so awkward it makes you want to curl your toes!

This difficulty level is simply nightmare-level!

But... is An Yi holding something in his arms? Unfortunately, hidden by the bushes, he can't see it clearly.

Liang Wenguang also saw An Yi. He reached out and pulled You Shou back to his side, wrapping an arm around him, then let out two dry laughs at An Yi, trying to cover up the embarrassment with a joke: "Sorry, dude, couldn't help it."

His tone was frivolous and utterly insincere.

An Yi couldn't be bothered with them, not even sparing them a glance.

You Shou, however, hesitated, then called out in a timid, small voice: "Boss An..."

An Yi still didn't respond, as if he hadn't heard.

He released Chu Chen, who was nearly melting, dizzy from his scent, and sat back down on the bench.

A deep reluctance welled up inside Chu Chen as An Yi let him go; as that crisp, clean scent faded, he felt inexplicably dejected.

But the touch and warmth left by An Yi's palm were still clearly branded on his skin, making his heart pound erratically.

When no response came, You Shou's face stiffened and soured.

Liang Wenguang glanced at the bushes obscuring An Yi, then at You Shou beside him, who looked about to cry. His eyes darted, a sly smirk spreading across his face as he suddenly announced loudly, "Boss An, right? Hey buddy, want to join us? Our Shoushou here knows his stuff, you know?"
