BAM!

As Shen Zueran’s wicked and bold words fell, Yu Lan’s pretty, fair face flushed beet red in an instant.

’W-what in the world is Shen Zueran saying!’

’What does he mean, Pei Shiyi won’t find out if we sneak a kiss behind his back?’

Yu Lan bit her lip, just as she was about to say something.

She suddenly realized that Shen Zueran, who was already extremely close, had moved even closer.

The man’s firm, powerful thigh pressed forcefully against Yu Lan’s knees.

A domineering, invasive aura washed over her.

Shen Zueran, who was usually calm, restrained, and as aloof as a flower on a high mountain, now stared at Yu Lan’s crimson face with dark eyes.

He reached out with a large, well-defined hand and gripped Yu Lan’s delicate chin in a strong, domineering grasp.

The rough pad of his thumb ground mercilessly back and forth across her soft, tender red lips.

Her soft, tender lips were quickly rubbed raw and swollen, their color deepening to an even more vivid, tempting red.

The man’s eyes grew darker and more profound, his gaze fixed on her red lips as his husky, possessive voice sounded.

"You’re always like this."

"What?"

Yu Lan’s amber eyes were filled with confusion, not understanding what Shen Zueran meant.

’What about me?’

The confusion in Yu Lan’s eyes only fanned the flames of madness in Shen Zueran’s heart.

A vicious, destructive urge roiled within him.

He couldn’t help but say what was on his mind.

"We’ve kissed so many times, but you’re always like this, Lanlan. Like a beginner..."

Shen Zueran let out a soft laugh. His narrow black eyes were fixed on Yu Lan’s lips, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly as he stopped the words that were about to escape.

But his thoughts weren’t so easily stopped; on the contrary, they grew even more excessive.

’Always so pure, yet so alluring.’

’She blushes completely the moment a man says something a little out of line.’

’Love is restraint. Love is respect.’

Shen Zueran had always been so good at holding back.

’Always putting on his gentle and refined act in front of Yu Lan.’

’But males are inherently crude, lewd creatures, with only one thing on their minds.’

’It’s just that with the development of technology, everyone has learned to disguise themselves, to put on a human skin.’

’Disguise themselves to be a bit more well-behaved, more obedient, more gentle—all the better to capture the heart of a pretty little female.’

’But the possessiveness in their bones can never be extinguished.’

’At times, when Shen Zueran could no longer keep up the act, when he was pushed to his breaking point, he would have very dark thoughts.’

’What if he just dropped the act completely and let Yu Lan see just how wicked he could be?’

’All of it—the filth, the lewdness, the dominance, the possessiveness—displayed before the soft, beautiful little female.’

’She would cry then, wouldn’t she?’

’The thought of such a day actually arriving, just thinking about it... ’

Shen Zueran felt a thrill that made his scalp tingle, a sensation like an electric current exploding from the base of his spine and surging through his entire body.

The next moment—

Shen Zueran leaned down.

An overwhelming scent of male pheromones enveloped Yu Lan, and the man’s scorching hot hand clamped tightly around her waist.

Yu Lan’s eyes widened slightly.

Shen Zueran’s handsome face—usually gentle, aloof, rational, and restrained—magnified before her.

Her soft lips were crushed tightly by the man’s thin ones.

It was a frantic, ruthless kiss, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

"Mmph—"

"D-don’t... stop kissing me. It’s broad daylight, someone will see..."

The sun was high in the sky, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

Not far off, birds chirped crisply.

Yu Lan could even hear Pei Shiyi’s gasp of excitement from upstairs as he saw something good, and the childish whispers of the little ones shut in the classroom.

Every sound was magnified in Yu Lan’s ears.

And the louder they became, the more frightened and nervous she grew.

She reached out a small hand and pinched Shen Zueran’s lean waist hard.

Shen Zueran sucked in a breath. Using the moment he deepened the kiss to give her air, he grabbed her small hand to soothe her, his magnetic voice carrying a hidden rasp:

"No one’s here. I’m keeping watch."

’How could males, who were possessive to the bone, possibly have a fetish for letting others see them being intimate with their Female Master?’

’Pei Shiyi’s deliberate attempts to make other males jealous didn’t count.’

Even while lost in a passionate kiss with Yu Lan, Shen Zueran didn’t forget to extend his senses to keep watch on his surroundings.

But just as Yu Lan breathed a sigh of relief at the man’s comforting words...

Abruptly, in the silent air...

A strange, punchable male voice suddenly rang out.

"Hey there! Sorry about that, looks like you miscalculated."

"I’ve been here for a while."

Sheng Yiqing spoke brazenly.

He completely ignored Shen Zueran’s murderous gaze.

He hadn’t expected that after sneaking away from the Peace Starship to Garbage Star and plopping down on a hundred-year-old tree at this remote orphanage, he would witness such an interesting scene.

It wasn’t that he had some sordid voyeuristic fetish.

It was just that the sounds the female had made were too pleasant, and a sweet fragrance had inexplicably started to linger in the fresh air.

By the time he realized what was happening, the two were already kissing.

’What else could he do? It would have been way too awkward to interrupt them then and say, "Hey, someone’s here, maybe kiss later?"’

So Sheng Yiqing had to pretend he didn’t exist.

But the female’s soft murmurs, which occasionally escaped during the kiss, were like little hooks, constantly tugging at his heart.

The more they tugged, the more he itched. Sheng Yiqing’s mind even started to wander, imagining what it would be like to kiss her, wondering if she would make such pleasant, addictive sounds for him too.

Sheng Yiqing’s ears turned red just from listening, and he shifted uncomfortably, trying to hide himself a little.

Then he heard Shen Zueran’s words, and a strange sense of competitiveness welled up inside him. Before he knew it, he had revealed his presence.

’And he had been hiding so well!’

Sheng Yiqing felt wronged.

After that, he dropped all pretense. His eyes sparkling, he tried to peer past Shen Zueran—who had reacted instantly to shield Yu Lan in his arms—to get a glimpse of the pretty little female’s face.

But Shen Zueran had been too quick. Even though Sheng Yiqing’s gaze was fervent enough to burn a hole right through him, he could only vaguely make out the curve of the pretty little female’s cheek.

It was faintly flushed with shyness.

’So soft and tender!’

’She looks like she’d be fun to bite, fun to kiss.’

Sheng Yiqing felt his canines itch.

The next moment—

Even that hard-won glimpse was instantly blocked by the man’s large hand.

Sheng Yiqing found himself looking directly into Shen Zueran’s dark, profound eyes, which seethed with hidden fury. Not only was he unafraid, but he even raised an eyebrow in a brazenly provocative gesture.

His dazzling, flamboyant features appeared even more audacious in the sunlight filtering through the treetops.

Sheng Yiqing raised his voice slightly, as if trying to attract someone’s attention.

"Now, don’t be angry."

"It’s just a look. It’s not like a piece of her will fall off."

"If you feel like you’ve lost out, big deal. I’ll let you look at me in return."

As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on the single sleeve visible behind Shen Zueran.

’Look at me.’

’Look at me.’

’Come on, look at me.’

As a standout member of the interstellar fox clan, a clan renowned throughout the galaxy for its beauty and allure, he was confident that no little female could see his face and remain unmoved.
