Chapter 186: Can You Be Normal, Please?
"Shen Lang, why are your TikTok videos all about girls dancing? And why are they dressed so skimpily?"
"Are you kidding? Bro, this is a premium account, not for sale at any price. Hehe, once you're better, you can dance for me too, okay?"
"Okay! When I recover, I'll learn to dance. Hey, where is this place? The scenery looks so beautiful."
"Erhai Lake, I think. They say it's the sea of love for young people, but it's probably overhyped and not that special."
"The sea of love? Then can you take me there in the future? I want to see it!"
"No problem. Once you're better… Hey, hey, hey! We're just chatting. Don't put your hand in my pants. What the hell are you doing with that hand? Sis, this is a hospital! Can you act normal?"
...
Around 2 a.m. in the ICU, on a warm and spacious hospital bed, Ye Yinan lay on Shen Lang's arm, her face adorned with a sweet, lazy smile. She quietly nestled in his arms, contentedly watching TikTok videos on his phone.
Immersed in his familiar masculine scent, Ye Yinan felt an overwhelming sense of fulfillment. To this inexperienced girl, this might just be what falling in love felt like.
Even if they weren't doing anything, simply being next to Shen Lang made her feel happy and secure.
"Shen Lang, what's our relationship now?"
Ye Yinan looked at him with hopeful anticipation. "Are we dating?"
"Mm."
Shen Lang hummed softly, pulling her frail, slender body closer with an arm around her neck.
This small gesture of care delighted Ye Yinan. Usually so graceful and reserved, she actually nudged his cheek with her head in excitement, like a playful little calf.
"Hey, are you still a kid?"
This childish act of affection left Shen Lang at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "And to think you're the daughter of the richest man. My younger sister isn't even this childish."
"Hehe~ I'm just childish~"
Ye Yinan giggled foolishly, her smile radiant and heartwarming.
It turned out that when a usually aloof girl genuinely smiled, it was unforgettable.
Shen Lang finally understood why King You of Zhou once lit signal fires just to make his beloved smile, despite the foolishness of it all.
Ye Yinan shifted her weak body closer, tilting her neck with longing. "Shen Lang, I want you to kiss me."
"Oh, come on, stop acting so impulsively."
Shen Lang moved his head away, laughing and scolding, "Lie down properly and watch TikTok. Later, go to sleep and rest like a good girl. This is a hospital. Stop thinking about doing anything wild."
"Let me touch your leg."
Ye Yinan grabbed his hand and placed it on her thigh, covered by her hospital gown.
"Baby, you're so good. Come closer."
How could Shen Lang refuse? He wrapped his arms around her slim waist and started nibbling on her, his hands becoming increasingly restless as they wrapped around her legs.
"Shen Lang, you… you're bad. You're bullying me…"
Ye Yinan's eyes were misty, her expression of grievance further igniting Shen Lang's emotions.
After a few short breaths, Shen Lang hugged her again and kissed her deeply. If it weren't for the injury on her hand, he might have done something even bolder right there in the hospital.
"Shen Lang, tell me you like me."
Ye Yinan cupped his face, gasping for air as she pleaded expectantly.
Shen Lang was surprised. "Huh? Why now?"
Ye Yinan complained tearfully, "You said earlier that you didn't like me. It made me so sad…"
1. **"Baby, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend? I'll treat you as well as I treat them."**
2. **Say nothing, continue taking advantage of her, maintaining a flexible position to retreat or advance.**
3. **"Baby, a doctor might come by. Let's go to the bathroom. Will you give it to me? I'll love you forever."**
"Baby, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Shen Lang sincerely confessed, unable to ruin the sweet moment with the second half of the sentence.
Although it would clarify her status, Shen Lang just couldn't bring himself to be so heartless.
He thought to himself that he might not be cut out to be a jerk, considering how he cared for every girl.
Ye Yinan was moved to tears, silently nodding as she sniffled.
Knowing what to do in such situations, Shen Lang chose option 2, kissing her deeply once more.
After a long while, they calmed down, cuddling and continuing to watch TikTok videos.
"Shen Lang, why did you bite me just now?"
Ye Yinan pursed her pink tongue, savoring the lingering sting.
"Marking you."
Shen Lang shamelessly replied, "This way, you'll always be mine. Okay?"
"Mm, okay, okay!"
Ye Yinan nodded happily, biting the same spot as if to deepen the mark.
...
After two days in the hospital, Shen Lang cheerfully escorted the little heiress out.
After all, Ye Yinan wasn't suffering from any physical illness. With Shen Lang's company and emotional support, her mental health recovered quickly.
With her wrist injury treated, Ye Yinan obediently left the hospital with Shen Lang.
"Okay, Mom, I'm coming home now. Shen Lang is driving me. Mm, I got it."
In the underground parking lot, beside Shen Lang's BMW, Ye Yinan hung up the phone with Zhong Meiru.
Unable to wait, she opened the driver's door and climbed onto Shen Lang's lap, holding his face and kissing him passionately.
After the ups and downs of recent events, Shen Lang noticed that Ye Yinan's personality had changed—maybe even solidified.
In front of others or her parents, she was still the clever and obedient girl she used to be.
The difference was, she was no longer as cold or taciturn, but smiled a lot more, exuding hope for life. She even had a tendency to chatter, occasionally spouting a few crude words.
But around Shen Lang, Ye Yinan became bold, entirely abandoning her feminine reserve.
As long as no one was around and the spot was secluded enough, she would cling to Shen Lang boldly and passionately.
Her mind was constantly filled with adult thoughts, and she often tempted Shen Lang to the brink of losing control.
"From now on…"
Sitting in the driver's seat, Ye Yinan released Shen Lang, her breath ragged, and smiled sweetly with a hint of seduction.
"I'll be your fourth girlfriend, so don't neglect me, you bad guy~"
