Free Web NovelChapter 1074: Chapter 296-297-298: Breaking Through, Staying Together
Hearing such words from a pure girl made even Li Yan and the more mature Matsushima Kui feel a bit embarrassed and blush.
"I... we haven’t yet... but it will happen eventually. I’m still... for the first time..."
Despite gathering her courage, Huang Ying felt awkward saying such words in front of two girls she wasn’t familiar with, and bowed her head in embarrassment.
"I have no experience... I want to stay tonight... for you to guide me, help me... I’m begging you!"
Li Yan was initially dumbstruck listening to her, but later felt a pang of guilt and empathy. He understood her helplessness and insecurities, and maybe if he’d been with her earlier, she’d feel more reassured and stable, instead of having to speak out with such disregard for her dignity... ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Huang Ying, don’t be like this. I admit I haven’t been completely devoted, but my feelings for you, you know them. I’ve said it more than once." Li Yan hugged her tightly, reassuring her softly, "No matter what, you’ll always be in my heart. You don’t need to worry about losing me just because we haven’t slept together. That won’t happen..."
Though shy, introverted, and passive, Huang Ying also possessed a soft but strong side. Making decisions was difficult, but once she decided, she’d commit wholeheartedly!
"No! I am willing... Originally, I wanted just the two of us tonight, an evening together... I’ve already told my mom about the date, and I’ve informed the auntie who takes care of me. There’s no need to rush back now, we..."
Shinohara Mirai and Matsushima Kui didn’t really understand the specifics of their situation, nor had they mentioned it.
Yet Shinohara Mirai saw herself in Huang Ying’s situation! Had it not been for Kui’s encouragement, she too would have been passive about many things and certainly wouldn’t have gotten entangled with Li Yan, nor dared to have all these bold actions. Looking back, she found it all quite precious—even if the future was distant, at least there were beautiful memories. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
So, seeing Huang Ying’s expression, roughly understanding her words, Mirai deeply empathized with her anxiety and fear of losing. She understood the longing to speak but hesitating, waiting for someone else to take initiative; the fear that if she spoke, being rejected would be incredibly embarrassing and disheartening...
She had Kui’s help, but Huang Ying didn’t!
At this moment, typically passive Mirai, without Matsushima Kui having spoken, actively said, "Welcome! We’re happy to help you!"
She even sincerely reached out her hand to Huang Ying.
This surprised both Li Yan and Matsushima Kui, as they hadn’t expected Mirai to be this way.
Huang Ying felt a bit grateful; no matter what decision Li Yan made, at least someone responded to her, so she wouldn’t be completely embarrassed. She reached out her hand and grasped Shinohara Mirai’s. These two, who should have been rivals and had known each other for less than two hours, suddenly found their psychological relationship rapidly closer.
Matsushima Kui originally intended to help Li Yan achieve his desires, but if Li Yan himself did not speak, she wouldn’t mention it. However, since Mirai spoke like this, coupled with Huang Ying’s stance, she felt touched and now feared Li Yan might persist and hurt Huang Ying, so she also actively said, "Let’s do it together! We’ll all help you, we’ve all been where you have no experience."
She extended her hand as well.
Then, before Li Yan could speak, she jested to lighten the mood, "Hehe, actually, our experience has all been taught by Li Yan! He’s the seasoned expert!"
Li Yan was speechless—seasoned expert! What kind of expert is that...
Chapter 298
Li Yan himself began to feel more lively.
He initially didn’t want Huang Ying to feel embarrassed and wanted to respect her, but now that she had spoken up, refusing would instead be disrespectful and hurtful. Now he could only try his best to give her a good experience, fulfill her wishes without leaving any burdens or psychological shadows.
He also considered a problem: Huang Ying had called him after work, wanting them to have dinner early and then have a date, perhaps staying overnight. Even though she had informed her mom and caretaker about the date, she certainly hadn’t said she would be staying out overnight.
But because the plane pickup delayed them, after dinner, it was already past nine, and time was short. They not only needed to complete this plan but ideally send her back before midnight!
S City was warm, with rich nightlife; for young people dating, especially those working during the day and meeting after work, returning home after eleven was quite normal. However, if it passed midnight, for families like Huang Ying’s, it would be perceived as late, and if she stayed out overnight, she’d be assumed to have done everything, regardless of reality!
Thinking about this, he smiled and stood up, "Alright! Then let’s do it together! Let’s give Xiao Ying a happy experience, a happy memory together!"
Hearing Li Yan’s agreement, all three of them seemed to breathe a sigh of relief...
