Chapter 223: Accepting the Consequences
Chapter 223: Accepting the Consequences
Zhang Lin looked at his senior classmate, who was now just inches away. He swallowed hard, feeling a mix of perfume and alcohol wafting into his nose.
Her words made him realize that she wasn't drunk enough to need assistance. As she wrapped her arms around his neck, he could see her snow-white cleavage just a glance away. The close proximity made him feel a subtle, flirtatious vibe.
He was certain it wasn't just his imagination.
But this put him in a difficult position.
Earlier, the special eel had caused some lingering effects, and being held like this by his senior classmate only made things awkward.
His body seemed to be reacting on its own.
The flirtatious atmosphere, combined with the alcohol, was making it hard to think straight.
It wasn't about self-control; the sudden romantic tension and the alcohol had taken over his senses.
What should he do?
He really wanted to reach out and hold her.
He was trying his best to resist.
But his senior classmate leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Don't you want to try, Senior?"
"I can't hold back much longer," Zhang Lin murmured.
Lin Muxue continued, "I've been going to bars with Liu Qian and others, but all we do is dance. No one has ever touched me!"
Hearing this, Zhang Lin couldn't take it anymore. He reached out and began to undress her.
Despite not having done this since his first love, men seemed to have a natural instinct for such things.
He was very skilled at removing her clothes, and it happened quickly.
Piece by piece, her attire was stripped away and thrown to the ground.
Until only the last two pieces of her defense remained.
To Zhang Lin, those last pieces of defense were practically nonexistent.
Finally, he made his final move, without holding back.
...
As the sun rose, Zhang Lin woke up feeling a surge of energy.
He remembered what had happened the night before, and he swallowed hard.
He had crossed a line with someone he shouldn't have.
He felt extremely awkward.
He tried to get up quietly but found himself still firmly held in place.
"Mr. Zhang, are you regretting it?" Lin Muxue's voice whispered in his ear.
He looked over to see that she was also awake, which he already knew.
After all, he was still firmly in her grasp.
Zhang Lin quickly explained, "I don't regret it, but..."
Lin Muxue interrupted him, "Then, have I ever been touched by anyone else?"
He was taken aback and nodded instinctively.
"Good to know I didn't lie to you," she said, then suggested, "Before we go back, let's do it one more time."
"Senior, you seem like a female hooligan now," Zhang Lin sighed, "Not like a goddess at all."
Lin Muxue countered, "Do you prefer a female hooligan or a goddess?"
"Female hooligan!" Zhang Lin answered honestly, without a hint of insincerity.
"Then let's go," Lin Muxue said, already starting to move.
...
Time passed.
The morning sunlight was bright, and people were full of energy.
Zhang Lin lasted a long time before everything finally calmed down.
The whole process felt like a plot from a certain island's film genre.
The boss and the female employee on a business trip, and then... when the sun came up, the female employee was hooked, and then... and then...
After one more round, Lin Muxue acted as if nothing had happened, starting to freshen up.
Zhang Lin watched himself in the mirror, feeling a mix of emotions.
He knew he had made a mistake that many men would make.
But after making this mistake, he felt a strong sense of anticipation, which was what truly troubled him.
After his first love, he had met many girls, but none of them had made his heart skip a beat, even after spending time with them. He thought he might remain single for life until he met Fu Yao, who made him realize he liked young girls.
Liking 18-year-olds wasn't shameful; many men felt the same way.
But last night, he realized that he wasn't just attracted to the young. Perhaps the special eel and the medicinal wine had caused some unusual changes in his body...
Regardless of the excuses, what had happened was done.
Lin Muxue was getting ready beside him, seemingly ignoring him, blow-drying her hair, dressing, and applying makeup.
"Mr. Zhang, shouldn't you go back to your room? Chen Xin and my sister should be waking up soon," Lin Muxue reminded him, making Zhang Lin feel a bit awkward. He glanced at her, then had no choice but to leave and return to his own room.
_Sister, you're way too calm about this._
_It seems like you're pretending nothing happened._
He lay down and took out his phone, sending a message to Fu Yao: "What are you up to?"
She replied quickly: "Getting ready for class!"
"Good luck!"
"Thanks!"
...
After a few more messages, Zhang Lin felt a bit more at ease. He put away his phone, but his mind couldn't help but wander back to Sister Lin's figure.
_It really is beautiful._
_And so smooth._
Before long, he heard a knock on the door. He walked to the door and opened it, only to see Lin Muxue, Chen Xin, and Lin Wan'er outside.
"Mr. Zhang, you said those senior brothers prepared a private jet. When are we heading over?" Lin Muxue asked as usual, showing no sign of awkwardness.
"Sure, I'll contact Senior Brother Zhu," Zhang Lin replied, admiring Sister Lin's composure.
He took out his phone and called Senior Brother Zhu. As soon as the call connected, he asked, "Hey, Senior Brother, when is the flight leaving?"
Senior Brother Zhu's voice came through: "1 PM, little junior brother. You can still come to the airport VIP lounge to grab a bite. We've arranged for the airport to prepare something special for you. By the way, we're already here waiting."
"Got it, Senior Brother," Zhang Lin replied, then chatted with Senior Brother Zhu for a bit to confirm the details before heading to the airport.
The four of them took two taxis to avoid rushing. Chen Xin led Lin Wan'er into one of the taxis, while Zhang Lin and Lin Muxue got into the other one.
As soon as they got in, Lin Muxue asked, "Mr. Zhang, those senior brothers are really making a special trip to our farm just to buy that piece of wood?"
Zhang Lin nodded, "For those senior brothers, the golden-threaded nanmu wood might be one of their few remaining hobbies. At their age, they probably don't have the energy for women anymore."
"You, on the other hand, seem to have plenty of energy," Lin Muxue teased, then added, "By the way, the mountain spring water wellness center should be almost finished, right? I checked before we left the farm, and it seemed to be nearing completion."
"It should be," Zhang Lin said, checking the game in his mind. The mountain spring water wellness center was 87% complete, indeed almost finished.
Lin Muxue then asked, "Oh, and what about the bamboo forest maze? It's been a while, and no one has solved it yet. Do you have any plans to organize another event?"
Zhang Lin didn't answer her question directly. Instead, he looked at her and said, "Sister, you're still so calm. I'm not used to it."
"What else should I do?" Lin Muxue countered. "I don't want to get married, and I don't want to steal anyone's boyfriend. Mr. Zhang, are you trying to make things difficult for me?"
Zhang Lin suddenly said, "Sister, remember that bet we had? You owe me a favor. I don't have any other demands. Just use me a few times a month from now on."
Lin Muxue frowned at this request, then fell silent for a moment before saying, "Fine, I'm not the type to back out of a bet."
Zhang Lin's lips curved into a smile. "Sister, you're getting off easy. You get to use me for free without any responsibility."
_A few times a month should be fine._
The driver, who had clearly heard their conversation, sneakily glanced back at the two of them.
_Did I just hear something explosive?_
They soon arrived at the airport. Zhang Lin and Lin Muxue got out of the taxi and met up with Chen Xin and Lin Wan'er, then headed toward the airport's VIP entrance.
As they passed through the special passage and completed the dedicated security check, an airport staff member approached them. "Are you Mr. Zhang Lin and your group?"
"That's us," Zhang Lin nodded.
"Mr. Zhang, please follow me. Mr. Zhu and Mr. Gu are already waiting for you," the staff member said with a respectful smile, leading the way.
This was truly a unique experience, and it was quite an eye-opener.
Soon, Zhang Lin met up with Senior Brother Zhu and the others in the VIP lounge. They even had a special lunch at the airport, which they had never experienced before. The food was surprisingly good.
Around 1 PM, they boarded the private jet and flew back to Ming City with a few additional senior brothers joining them.
