Chapter 252: Whispers in the Rain

Though Heqing had read plenty of steamy novels since meeting Han Wenwen over the years—enough to fill a library.

She often skipped the romantic scenes or just glanced at them quickly.

So, she only had a vague idea of what happened; the details were a mystery, and the books never went into much depth.

Like kissing, for instance.

Right now, Heqing’s small hands trembled with nervousness, shifting from a tight grip to clutching a bit of Lin Zheng Ran’s clothing.

Lying on the bed, she tilted her chin up, her fair swan-like neck beautifully exposed.

She closed her eyes and slowly pressed her lips to his.

The feel of Lin Zheng Ran’s lips and breath made her heart race uncontrollably.

She knew kissing wasn’t just about lips touching.

There were other things involved, so she tentatively nibbled on Lin Zheng Ran’s lip with her teeth.

Lin Zheng Ran paused, a bit confused, and opened his eyes curiously.

Heqing noticed he wasn’t responding and slowly opened her teary eyes.

She met his curious gaze.

“What are you doing?” he asked.

Heqing’s face flushed bright red, her voice timid: “Kissing… you know, like this.”

Lin Zheng Ran emphasized: “I know it’s kissing, but why are you biting my lip? How can I kiss back if you’re chomping on it?”

Heqing hesitated, stammering:

“Can’t we kiss like that? But… in novels, when the leads kiss, the girl always bites the guy’s lip.”

Lin Zheng Ran couldn’t hold back a laugh.

Heqing felt so embarrassed she wished the ground would swallow her up: “Is that wrong?”

Lin Zheng Ran explained: “Even if it’s biting, books probably mean just the lower lip, not the whole thing.”

Tears welled in Heqing’s eyes: “I don’t know, I’m clueless.” She paused, then added: “Teach me.”

He thought about how this little girl was always the same as when she was young.

“I’ll show you.”

He kissed her again, and Heqing joined in with Lin Zheng Ran once more.

As they kissed, he guided her on what to do, and she followed obediently.

Learning bit by bit.

At first, she felt shy, but soon she realized kissing was wonderfully magical.

She had thought it was just like eating a meal or a snack, but experiencing it was completely different.

As they kept going.

Heqing even let out soft, breathy sounds.

Her hand, which had been holding onto his clothing, slowly wrapped around his back.

After kissing for a while, Lin Zheng Ran felt she was getting the hang of it and asked playfully: “Got it now?”

Heqing shyly bit her lip: “A little… kissing feels so good.”

Lin Zheng Ran noticed Heqing’s other hand still clutched the white silk stockings and suggested: “Put them on for me to see.”

She nodded eagerly like a pecking chick.

In the room, Lin Zheng Ran sat on the bed.

Heqing sat at the edge, kicked off her little white shoes, glanced at him, and sorted out the pantyhose.

She bunched it up and slipped one delicate foot inside, slowly pulling the stocking up.

Then she did the same with the other foot, pulling them both up together.

Like putting on pants.

“All done…”

She stood by the bed in the stockings, her soft, adorable form looking like a delicious milk candy in all white.

The dress and white stockings blended perfectly.

With her ponytail reaching mid-back and her full figure.

It all highlighted her innocent, pure face and body.

“Do you think it looks good on me, Lin Zheng Ran?”

Lin Zheng Ran looked her over, smiling: “More than good—it suits you perfectly. Wear them like this all the time.”

“All the time…” She clasped her hands, not objecting: “Okay.”

Lin Zheng Ran patted the bed: “Come here.”

Heqing obediently climbed back onto the bed in her stockings and sat in front of him.

They gazed at each other.

She carefully took his hand and asked:

“Lin Zheng Ran, you’ve already had your first kiss, right? I can sort of tell you’ve kissed Lily before…”

Lin Zheng Ran didn’t lie to Heqing and nodded.

“Yes, I have.”

Heqing bit her lip, trembling a little: “What about your first time?”

“It’s still mine.” He replied.

Heqing’s tense lips relaxed, and she smiled softly: “I’m so happy…”

Lin Zheng Ran gently wrapped his arms around her waist, and Heqing rose from her sitting position.

They kissed again, fingers intertwined, slowly lying back on the bed.

Outside, the rain tapered off; in the fifth-floor hotel room, Lily sat cross-legged on the bed, happily filling out the application for the music candidate program on her phone.

Han Wenwen returned from the restroom and saw Lily’s cheerful expression: “Lily, haven’t Lin Zheng Ran and Heqing come back yet?”

Lily quickly answered: “Heqing went to the first-floor hall to find Lin Zheng Ran. Han Wenwen, is your stomach still bothering you?”

Han Wenwen thought about what happened in the restroom earlier, her face tinged with a faint blush, but Lily was too focused on her form to notice.

The little fox shook her head and went back to her bed: “I’m fine now, much better.”

“That’s good.”

“What are you up to? You seem so absorbed.”

“Oh.” She grinned: “It’s the application for the music candidate program. Once I finish, I can compete this year!”

Han Wenwen knew it was the most famous music show in the country and felt happy for Lily.

“Really? That’s fantastic.”

The two girls chatted for a bit; Han Wenwen lay back down, watching the rainy mountains outside, feeling tired and deciding to close her eyes for a quick nap.

In a large bed room on the first floor, Lin Zheng Ran held Heqing’s small hand down on the bed.

Fingers laced together.

Heqing’s flushed face gazed at Lin Zheng Ran, whom she’d liked for so many years.

Seeing his serious expression.

Savoring the happiness.

“Lin Zheng Ran, I love you.”

“Me too.” He answered gently, reaching up to remove the hair tie from Heqing’s hair. With her hair loose, she smiled and said: “From now on, keep teasing me forever.”

That afternoon, the two stayed in the room for a full three hours.
