Unconsciously, time slipped by, the sky gradually darkening.
Only when the two bottles of Erguotou were emptied did Lin Fan, with a hint of intoxication, stagger to his feet and bid farewell.
By the time Lin Fan returned to his residence, Zhang Yan had already prepared dinner and been waiting for quite some time.
Seeing Lin Fan swaying, looking tipsy, Zhang Yan immediately went to him without a word.
“Xiao Fan...”
Zhang Yan supported Lin Fan, guiding him towards the room, while a touch of worry crossed her face.
“Sister Yan, don't worry, I just went for a drink with my third uncle...”
Although Lin Fan was slightly intoxicated, his mind was surprisingly clear.
He didn't resist as Zhang Yan approached and helped him.
As Zhang Yan brought him to the room, settled him down, and prepared to leave.
Lin Fan's eyes, though slightly blurry from the alcohol, remained sharp, falling upon Zhang Yan.
Swish...
Lin Fan suddenly reached out, grabbing Zhang Yan's hand and pulling her into his embrace.
“Xiao Fan, what are you doing, let go of me...”
As she spoke, Zhang Yan struggled slightly, a blush rising on her cheeks.
Lin Fan's gaze met hers and he spoke directly:
“The moment I saw Sister Yan, I fell for her. I want to spend my life holding you like this...”
Before Zhang Yan could speak, Lin Fan reached out and lifted her chin, staring into her eyes and said:
“I already learned about Sister Yan's situation from my third uncle...”
“I wonder if Sister Yan would give me a chance, a chance to take care of you for the rest of our lives...”
Zhang Yan already harbored feelings for Lin Fan, and with Zhang Lao San's deliberate arrangements, she was quite moved by Lin Fan's sudden confession. Yet, a deep-seated concern lingered in her heart.
As if sensing Zhang Yan's hesitation, Lin Fan didn't hesitate.
He lowered his head and leaned in.
“Woo...”
Faced with this unexpected assault, Zhang Yan's eyes widened, her entire body stiffening.
Several minutes passed, feeling like she was about to suffocate, Zhang Yan finally struggled weakly.
Sensing her struggle, Lin Fan didn't push further but didn't let go either.
He held her close, pulling her onto the bed and embracing her gently.
After a brief struggle, seeing that Lin Fan didn't make any further moves, Zhang Yan ceased resisting.
Although they had only met recently, in this era, it wasn't uncommon for couples to meet in the morning and be married by the afternoon.
Lying in Lin Fan's arms, Zhang Yan felt an unexpected sense of peace.
Unconsciously, time continued to slip away...
With a touch of intoxication lingering, Lin Fan held the beautiful woman in his arms and drifted off to sleep.
Feeling Lin Fan's steady breathing, Zhang Yan's mind began to race.
The blush on her cheeks deepened, becoming fiery red...
The night passed in a blink of an eye. When Lin Fan woke up, it was already the next morning.
He instinctively felt something in his hand and tightened his grip.
In that moment, Lin Fan finally came to his senses and realized what he was holding.
His entire body froze.
“Hmm...”
At the same time, as Lin Fan tightened his grip, Zhang Yan, lying in his arms, murmured softly.
When she woke up, their eyes met, and her face instantly turned crimson.
In a flash, Zhang Yan quickly averted her gaze.
“Sister Yan, you are so beautiful...”
Seeing her reaction, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile.
Then, without waiting for her response, he lifted her chin and leaned in again.
After several minutes, Lin Fan finally released Zhang Yan, got up and began to wash and tidy himself up.
If he stayed any longer, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself!
Coming into the courtyard, Lin Fan immediately started practicing his cultivation.
Simple stance training, coupled with a corresponding breathing technique, after a while, Lin Fan finally calmed down.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yan, her cheeks still flushed, started preparing breakfast.
When Lin Fan finished practicing, Zhang Yan brought out several steamed buns, a plate of exotic beast braised meat, and invited him to eat.
Sitting down at the stone table, Lin Fan didn't hesitate and grabbed a steamed bun.
“Sister Yan, you should eat more of this braised meat, it's good for your health...”
“This was made in the capital city, using my secret recipe. Not only does it taste great, but its effects are comparable to those medicinal herbs...”
Lin Fan used a pre-thought-out excuse to mask the effects of the exotic beast meat, while constantly adding meat to Zhang Yan's bowl.
