CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 39: HER LOVE WAS RECIPROCATE

This incident made Su Chen realize that if he became too busy, he might not always be able to protect his mother and younger sister. His mother’s position as a doctor offered some security, but no one was safe in extraordinary circumstances. And with his sister’s beauty drawing attention whenever she left home, dangers were always possible.

This made Su Chen feel he should seriously consider the safety of the women in his family.

He hadn’t thought about it before, but now Su Chen felt he had the ability to do something!

The Red Phoenix Heavenly Scripture could only enhance his personal strength like in a cultivation novel and it also accelerate his progress, but the Holy Lotus could definitely meet his needs. With this realization, Su Chen made up his mind!

In truth, his mother and Ye Qing were merely upset that he hadn’t informed them about his plans, not truly angry. Though they worried about their daughter’s safety, they genuinely didn’t believe any harm could befall her in this city. After all, modern society was generally peaceful and harmonious!

"Alright, Rou, don’t be mad at your brother anymore. Just make sure this was the first and last time, and I’ll forgive him this once!" Luo Xue chuckled softly at her son’s tearful antics.

This was the first time Ye Rou had been left behind by her brother and she was already panicking, afraid he no longer liked her. When she heard her mother’s words, she looked nervously at her brother.

Su Chen nodded with a wry smile. He gently tugged at his younger sister. This time, she didn’t resist and allowed him to pull her into his arms. Holding her body, Su Chen felt a sense of calmness wash over him. "I admit my mistake, and I promise it won’t happen again," he said. "Today was a special case—I got caught up and forgot."

"But I swear I’ll never leave you alone at school again. Even if something urgent comes up, I’ll make sure to let you know beforehand. Will you stop being mad at your brother?" Su Chen thought to himself, Looks like I need to be more mindful of the time from now on!

Ye Rou burrowed deeper into her brother’s embrace, breathing in his familiar scent. A sudden sense of security washed over her. Today’s incident had truly frightened her. Her heart was too sensitive; the first time her brother hadn’t come to pick her up had made her fear it might happen again!

"I was so scared when you weren’t there suddenly, Brother," Ye Rou said, her voice trembling. "I thought y..you..!" She burrowed deeper into her brother’s arms.

Seeing his sister’s deep dependence on him stirred mixed emotions in Su Chen. Perhaps a hint of secret joy, but more than anything, a surge of protective love. He stroked her long hair and murmured, "Don’t be afraid. I won’t let this happen again."

"Xue’er, thank you!" Su Chen said, turning to Song Xue, who sat beside his sister. The young girl had grown even more lovely. After his kiss, it seemed the budding romance had made her grow up considerably.

Song Xue blushed, looking at Su Chen with a gentle smile. "I... I should do it. Brother Chen doesn’t need to thank me!"

Luo Xue and Ye Qing noticed Song Xue’s expression, stirring a peculiar feeling in their hearts. They could see that Song Xue liked Su Chen, but they couldn’t quite put their feelings into words. Their son, their younger brother, was growing up and had a girl who liked him!

They should have been happy, but instead, they felt inexplicably disappointed. Perhaps they had grown too accustomed to cherishing Su Chen as their own, always wanting him to belong to their family and stay by their side. The sudden realization that this might change made them instinctively resist the idea.

"Alright, spill it. What did you do after school? Went shopping?" Luo Xue, being an open-minded mother, managed to keep her emotions in check as she looked at her son and asked with mock annoyance.

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Su Chen forced a sheepish grin. "I can’t hide anything from my dear mom, can I? After school, I just wanted to clear my head, so I took a solo walk around the school before rushing back!"

Su Chen’s explanation made sense to Luo Xue, fitting her impression of her son.

"Brother went out to clear his head? Well then... Rou forgives you this time. But if you do it again, I won’t talk to you! Hmph!" She, now reassured that her brother hadn’t ignored her because he disliked her, reverted to her usual tsundere behavior, turning her head with a huff, her small chin tilted defiantly.

Watching his sister’s adorable, stubborn expression, Su Chen felt a surge of genuine affection. He couldn’t resist pinching her little nose. "You’re the best, Younger Sister. I was so worried you’d be mad at me. Happy now?"

"Ugh, stop pinching! My nose is all squished! It’s not pretty!" She playfully swatted her brother’s hand, her voice tinged with mock-anger.

"Alright, enough with the affection. You have plenty of time to dote on your sister. Miss Song Xue went to great lengths to bring her back, and as her brother, you need to ensure her safe return. Now go on and come back for dinner soon!" Luo Xue watched her children’s intimate interaction with satisfaction. Noticing Song Xue’s envious expression, she chuckled softly.

"Ah..." Su Chen acknowledged with a brief sound. He called out to Song Xue and led her away.

This was an opportunity for Song Xue to spend time alone with him. If even the most prestigious neighborhoods in Pallet City weren’t safe, then nowhere was. These areas were home to the city’s officials and wealthy families!

As they walked toward the artificial lake, Song Xue maintained the bashful demeanor of a young woman in love. She longed to be closer to Su Chen but hesitated, her mixed emotions making her all the more captivating.

"Thank you for today. Without you, I wouldn’t have felt comfortable leaving my sister," Su Chen said, his mood buoyant. He found her shyness endearing, and his gaze softened with tenderness.

Song Xue had harbored feelings for Su Chen for a long time, never daring to hope they could be together. The current situation already brought her immense satisfaction. Moreover, with the families’ circumstances no longer an obstacle to their relationship, her heart raced whenever she was near him.

Feeling the warmth of Su Chen’s gentle words, her heart fluttered like a deer’s.

"N-no, it’s nothing. I-I also see Ye Rou as a younger sister... Ah, I-I don’t mean anything else!"

The moment the words left her lips, Song Xue flushed crimson. To say she saw Rou as a younger sister was like telling Su Chen she wanted to be her sister-in-law. Embarrassed, she lowered her head slightly.

Su Chen watched her with a smile. After a long silence, Song Xue grew nervous and stole a glance at him, only to find him staring at her with an odd grin.

"What... what are you laughing at?" Song Xue stammered, her voice tinged with both annoyance and coyness. "Stop laughing!"

Her indignant yet playful tone made Su Chen’s eyes sparkle. Seizing the opportunity while she had lifted her head, he leaned down and gently captured her moist lips in a kiss.

"Mmph...!"

Taken by surprise, Song Xue blushed. Yet, a thrill of pleasure mingled with her embarrassment, leaving her frozen, neither returning the kiss nor pulling away. Her flushed cheeks and trembling lashes made her look utterly alluring.

Su Chen couldn’t resist reaching out and embracing Song Xue’s body, gently pulling her into his arms. He held her soft, well-developed form tightly against his chest, her small but perky breasts pressing against him.

He breathed in the scent of the virgin girl, her maidenly aroma filling his heart with delight.

Su Chen treated this innocent girl differently from the mature, experienced women he usually favored. He didn’t rush to devour her innocent body, instead cherishing this pure love and subtle intimacy.

Savoring the direct, fiery passion of a mature woman while occasionally teasing a gentle girl was a delightful contrast.

He kissed Song Xue’s sweet lips, guiding her shy body to slowly melt into his embrace. As she clung to him bashfully, his hands gently caressed and toyed with her bubbly butt.

His tongue playfully teased her soft lips and teeth, but her maidenly reserve kept her tightly closed. After some effort, Su Chen finally managed to slip his tongue into her mouth, hooking onto her tongue. But just as he began to taste her, she pulled away in embarrassment!

Su Chen chased her tongue, his hands instinctively crawling up to her breasts. Through the thin fabric, he began kneading and squeezing them.

"Mmm... No, don’t! Someone will see!"

As her lover played with her breasts, her sensitive body trembled. She snapped out of the kiss, subconsciously pulling away from Su Chen’s embrace. Blushing, she pressed his hands against her chest, her entire body melting into his arms.

"You’re so naughty! We’re in the neighborhood! To actually touch me here! If someone sees, I’ll die of shame!" Song Xue was both flustered and delighted. She could feel her love was reciprocated, filling her with joy and contentment.

Yet the intimate touch made her nervous. As an inexperienced girl, unlike those seasoned women who had weathered countless battles, her instinctive sensitivity and tension were natural.

Moreover, Song Xue couldn’t help but recall yesterday’s incident when her mother had caught Su Chen suckling on her boobies. Whenever her chest was touched, she subconsciously imagined her mother was nearby, heightening her anxiety.
