Looking at the hesitant Sun Rui, Su Fan provocatively prodded her with his words.

"What's wrong, don't you want a reliable marriage, or are you just looking to mess around with me?"

Upon hearing this, a look of panic immediately appeared on Sun Rui's face.

"Big Brother Su, I... you're misunderstanding me. I'm not that kind of casual girl. I... I really want to date you, to head towards marriage. I... I'm just worried that if I don't give myself to you, you... you won't keep me in your heart, or some other girl will come along and beat me to it."

Su Fan felt somewhat helpless inside.

This young Sun Rui, still so tender in age, was full of too many thoughts—a mere seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, dead set on getting married as a way to escape her original family. How excessive must her parents be?

With this in mind, Su Fan started to feel a bit of pity for Sun Rui.

He said to her softly,

"Don't worry, even if we don't do that, I will still be good to you."

"Besides, if you really want to be with a man, you also need to have your own assets—a college degree, a stable job. Then our married life will have more to look forward to, right?"

"Unless you don't want a future with me."

"No, no, no."

"I do. I want to be with you forever, Big Brother Su."

Sun Rui was still a child at heart, with simple and naive thoughts, easily swayed by Su Fan's smooth talk.

"Then... then okay. I... I will study hard; I will definitely get into university. But, the promise you gave me, you have to keep it. Otherwise, I won't be able to live."

"Alright, it's a deal."

Su Fan nodded.

"Can you let go of me now then?"

Being tightly embraced by Sun Rui, feeling the softness of her young body, made Su Fan's heart grow restless.

If they continued to hold this position, he might not be able to restrain himself and take Sun Rui's virginity.

Sun Rui let go of Su Fan and covered her body with the blanket, leaving only her head exposed.

Once her courage had faded, Sun Rui appeared somewhat shy, her cheeks blushing as she looked down, not daring to meet Su Fan's eyes.

But with that downward glance, she spotted Su Fan's abnormality.

Due to Sun Rui's previous teasing, Su Fan's arousal had risen, pushing his pants up into a large bulge, like a little mountain, majestic in scale.

"Big Brother Su, you... you're bad."

Su Fan glanced down between his legs, also feeling a bit embarrassed.

It wasn't that he had poor self-control; it was just that Sun Rui, that young girl, was too tempting.

Such a beautiful girl was hard to resist.

"You should rest, then. I'll head home."

Su Fan planned to leave.

"Hey, don't go. You... don't leave. I'm scared to be here alone," Sun Rui called out nervously from her half-sitting position on the bed.

Su Fan turned around.

Because Sun Rui got up too hurriedly and didn't hold onto the blanket, the scenery of her upper body was clearly visible.

Two soft mounds, pink and ripe, like freshly ripened peaches.

With a slight pinkish apex...

Sun Rui, feeling embarrassed, pulled the blanket to cover her chest.

"Big Brother Su, I really am a bit scared. Stay and talk with me, please. Besides, it's still raining outside. Don't go yet..."

There was a look of pleading in Sun Rui's eyes.

Su Fan softened a little.

Of course, it was more of a stirring within him.

Spending a spring night with a girl of such tender years was surely the dream of countless men...

Thinking it over, Bai Man wasn't at home either; he'd be alone even if he went back.

Leaving Sun Rui alone in the hotel didn't seem very safe...

"Alright then. I won't leave tonight. I'll stay with you," he replied.

"Then come up here..."

Sun Rui blushed, shifting to the side, making some room for Su Fan on the bed.

Just as Su Fan was about to climb in, Sun Rui said,

"You're soaked through with your clothes on, the bed will get wet too. Take them off before you get in?"

Looking into Sun Rui's lively eyes, Su Fan thought painfully to himself, seems like Sun Rui didn't just want to talk.

After hesitating for a moment, he stripped off his clothes, leaving only his boxer briefs.

Looking at Su Fan's muscular body and particularly noticeable bulge, Sun Rui said with a mix of anticipation and fear,

"Big Brother Su, come on up."

The blanket was lifted slightly by Sun Rui.

Su Fan hesitated for a moment but finally crawled into the covers.

The next moment, Sun Rui cuddled up to him, resting her head on Su Fan's chest.
