Even though the boss said he would soon find it, his hands never stopped moving, and his face was almost pressed against her skin. Lu Xinyue's voice trembled with grievance, carrying a hint of tears: "Still... still haven't found it?"
"This time, I'll definitely find it."
Shen Yuan rubbed along the edge of the bra for a while before finally placing the thermometer under her armpit. He even pretended to wipe his forehead dramatically: "Whew, not easy, huh? Finally done."
Lu Xinyue's face flushed red with embarrassment. She quickly buttoned up her pajamas, refusing to let her skin be exposed under the boss's gaze.
For a moment, neither of them spoke. Shen Yuan took Lu Xinyue's hand again and said soothingly, "Xinyue, don't worry. With me here, everything will be fine."
Lu Xinyue shyly murmured, "Mm..." She didn't lift her head but silently gazed at his long, well-shaped hands.
His palms seemed to carry a comforting warmth, calming her and making her feel at ease.
If those hands touched her... it would surely feel very nice.
Lu Xinyue found herself thinking about something shameful, and her face turned pink, spreading down to her chest.
"Let me check if the thermometer is positioned correctly."
Shen Yuan seemed to sense Lu Xinyue's thoughts. He reached out through her pajamas to feel for the thermometer's placement.
Lu Xinyue's body stiffened once more, as if under an immobilization spell, since his hands wandered and stroked across her bra.
"Boss..."
Lu Xinyue's eyes shimmered with tenderness. This time, she finally dared to lift her head and look at Shen Yuan.
"Xinyue, you're not really running a fever, are you? You're just getting warm from being around me, aren't you?" Shen Yuan asked.
Lu Xinyue bit her lip and hesitated for quite a while before shyly nodding her head.
"Then let me help you cool down, alright?" Shen Yuan coaxed her gently, sounding like a bad uncle tricking a little girl.
"How... how are you going to do it?" Lu Xinyue trembled as she asked, having a foreboding sense of what he might mean.
"Don't worry about that. Just trust me, the boss always has a way."
With that, Shen Yuan started unbuttoning her pajamas—one button, two buttons, three buttons—and soon her pale, supple chest and abdomen were fully revealed. He lightly tugged the garment, letting the silk nightgown slide down her shoulders.
"Boss..." Lu Xinyue crossed her arms over her chest, her entire body flooded with an overwhelming sense of embarrassment.
"Don't be afraid, Xinyue. I'll treat you well," Shen Yuan said softly as he gently pulled her hands away. His face showed a rare tenderness—an expression he usually reserved for moments when everything was about to reach its peak.
"Boss..."
"Xinyue, don't be scared. I'm here."
......
11 PM.
Shen Yuan held Lu Xinyue gently in his arms, patting her shoulder softly like comforting a child. He spoke tenderly: "Be good. From now on, I'll take good care of you."
"Mm, Boss... I trust you," Lu Xinyue replied, her cheeks flushed with a rosy hue, her eyes dazed. She seemed to be floating in a honeyed dream, overly sweet and intoxicating.
Her mind wandered back to the earlier scene. She never expected it all to unfold so naturally, yet absurdly.
Comfortable—it was definitely comfortable... but it still hurt a little.
"Boss, this was my first time," Lu Xinyue added softly.
"Mm, I could tell," Shen Yuan replied, continuing to soothe her. The first experience was crucial, especially the care afterward. It would ensure she cherished and looked forward to what had happened tonight.
The opposite experience—one that turned unpleasant—would lead to rejection of such intimacy in the future.
"Boss, can you stay with me a little longer?" Lu Xinyue gazed at him expectantly. She understood he'd still return to his own room soon, but at this moment, with both her body and soul belonging to him, she selfishly desired more of his companionship.
"I can stay with you until morning, but can you promise me to wake me at 6 AM?"
The class belle slept deeply, unlikely to wake halfway through the night, but morning was a different matter—it was necessary to head back then.
"Mm-hmm, I'll set an alarm and call you at 6," Lu Xinyue promised, her smile curving her eyes delightfully. Her two small hands clasped Shen Yuan's larger ones: "Boss, your hands are so beautiful. This is the first time I've seen hands like these in real life. Plus, when you touched me with them just now... I..."
"Do you want me to touch you again?"
"Mm... I do..."
.......
After the two-day, three-night stay in the Capital City was over, the next destination was East Well, the capital of Eastern Plains. After breakfast, the group set off in their cars.
But everyone noticed there was something odd about Lu Xinyue's walking posture. She could only awkwardly explain, "I accidentally twisted my foot last night while showering in the bathroom."
Fang Minhui showed concern: "The bathroom floor is pretty slippery. Be careful next time, Xinyue."
Lu Xinyue felt even more guilty, her eyes darting about as she nodded hurriedly: "Mm-hmm."
Fang Minhui had slept soundly through the night; after all, when her eyes were closed, she was nestled in Shen Yuan's arms, and when she opened them, Shen Yuan was right there beside her. She hadn't given much thought to anything else.
Ji Ya and Tan Xin, however, were more observant when it came to details. A twisted ankle would never result in that kind of walking posture. It wasn't hard to guess what had really happened.
The two exchanged a knowing glance in Shen Yuan's direction, thinking to themselves, Our boss really doesn't let any woman around him go untouched.
Tan Xin furrowed her brows and reflected on herself... silently vowing that no matter what, she would never let anything happen between her and the boss.
As they prepared to leave the Aman Hotel in the Capital City, lingering feelings of fondness hung in the air. Shen Yuan seemed to hold a favorable impression of the hotel overall, though its food hadn't quite suited his taste.
This hotel's design set it apart from others—they weren't typical stopover spots for tourism or places focused purely on sleeping. Instead, this hotel felt more like a destination in itself, with no urgency to visit outside attractions upon waking up.
It featured stunning red maple forests representative of the Capital City's charm, unparalleled greenery compared to any hotel Shen Yuan had previously visited, and an array of unique services and cuisines not to be found elsewhere.
