My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 133: Catch It, Touch Me! (Asking for Subscriptions and Monthly Votes!)

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Catch It, Touch Me! (Asking for Subscriptions and Monthly Votes!)

Chen Yan didn’t know what Lu Man was wildly speculating in her mind.

He believed that his explanation went smoothly, so he continued to speak, beginning to comfort Lu Man.

"Man Man, I know that, aside from being really concerned about what I did that day, you’re also quite puzzled by your own reaction."

As he spoke, Chen Yan glanced at Lu Man.

Indeed, Lu Man, who had been letting her thoughts wander, snapped back to attention when she heard Chen Yan say this.

She couldn’t help but recall the "strange" things that had been happening to her these past few days. Although her face showed no expression and she made no movement, she silently nodded in agreement in her mind.

Chen Yan paused for a moment, then tentatively said, "Actually... I think you might be too sensitive about this matter."

"In fact, other girls feel the same as you do."

Hearing Chen Yan say this, Lu Man directly countered, "Impossible."

As she spoke, Lu Man thought about sharing the "experiments" she had conducted on Yu Qiao Qiao and Jiang Nanxing. But the words stopped on the tip of her tongue.

After all, this was a matter of privacy between close friends, not something to talk about with a guy like Chen Yan.

So she hesitated, then changed her approach, "Anyway, I’m sure it’s just me who is this strange."

Chen Yan shook his head, "You might have asked other girls around you if they had the same reaction."

Lu Man listened attentively: Even though she hadn’t asked, she had experimented, so it was sort of like asking, right?

Chen Yan continued, "But you forgot that scientific experiments require controlling variables."

Lu Man was taken aback, "Controlling variables?"

Chen Yan said, "Right. You just asked them if they had a reaction."

"But you forgot, they’re in completely different environments from you, experiencing different things."

"They weren’t grabbed by the ankle while horsing around."

"The person grabbing their ankles wasn’t a good friend of the opposite sex."

"Before their ankles were grabbed, they hadn’t had any close contact with that male friend."

Lu Man was dumbstruck by Chen Yan’s response.

Just a forced leg touch required so many "preconditions"?

Then she heard Chen Yan saying, "Actually, after that day, I too reflected on your reaction at the time."

"I feel that there are probably three reasons why you had such a strange reaction."

"First, we are close friends who have weathered storms together. You trust me a lot."

"Second, we are of the opposite sex."

"Third, like I just mentioned, we had some physical contact during our friendly roughhousing."

"So... that’s why you reacted the way you did to what I did."

Upon saying this, Chen Yan looked at Lu Man, "Do you understand what I’m saying?"

Lu Man stared blankly at Chen Yan, first weakly nodding her head, then quickly shaking it.

She didn’t know if she understood or not.

All she felt was a complete mess.

Seeing that she didn’t understand, Chen Yan asked directly, "Let me put it this way. What would you do if another man tried to grab your ankle or touch your leg?"

Lu Man knew how to answer this question.

She said directly, "I would crush his hand with my high heels, then smash his face with my bag, and finally, call the police."

Chen Yan clapped his hands, "That’s right!"

"That means you’re fine."

"You just had a special feeling because of all those preconditions, especially the ambiguity between us the night before, which led to your reaction to me touching your leg."

Lu Man looked blankly at Chen Yan.

So it was like that?

So... it wasn’t a problem with me?

Was it just a fluke?

Then... I won’t be like this anymore?

While she was pondering this, Chen Yan, as if he knew what she was thinking, explained, "So, you shouldn’t worry too much about this reaction."

"Like I said, the only reason you felt something last time was because several things coincided."

"Without those things happening, you wouldn’t feel anything special."

"It was just an accident, you really are very normal."

Finally, Chen Yan felt that he had completed the "consolation plan" he had prepared for the evening.

He tricked Lu Man into believing that something ambiguous had happened between them when she was drunk.

Then he used that incident to explain his improper behavior the next day and Lu Man’s special reaction.

In the end, he said that without the stimulation of that night, Lu Man would no longer have that ashamed yet expectant feeling, thereby resolving Lu Man’s inner worries.

Mission accomplished!

He was simply too smart!

Just as Chen Yan was feeling smug about it, suddenly...

A fair and delicate foot presented itself before him.

Chen Yan looked up to find Lu Man standing in front of him, holding a bottle of red wine, fixing him with a predatory gaze.

"Grab it. Touch me," Lu Man commanded.

Chen Yan was baffled: ??

Lu Man lifted the wine bottle a bit, and commanded again, "Touch me!"

Chen Yan: ...

What the hell!

What was going on with this sudden turnaround?

Was it his turn to ride the wheel of fortune?

Or... should he not guess the fickle minds of fools?

But glancing at the large bottle of red wine, Chen Yan still put his hand on Lu Man’s foot.

His touch was warm and smooth.

Chen Yan stole a peak at Lu Man and noticed that the stern expression on her face had softened a bit.

Chen Yan gently caressed Lu Man’s foot and then... slowly moved upward.

Lu Man’s legs were evenly shaped and felt soft to touch, especially since she was standing above Chen Yan with slightly bent legs reaching forward, creating a perfect curve.

The visual impact coupled with the tactile sensation made Chen Yan feel like... he was losing control.

But it wasn’t just Chen Yan who couldn’t control himself.

After listening to Chen Yan talk, Lu Man naturally didn’t believe him right away.

Who knew if Chen Yan was just fooling her?

So she thought the best way was to verify it right then and there!

After Chen Yan grabbed her foot, Lu Man realized she had been a bit rash...

Why was it so ticklish and slippery, and why did she feel like all her strength had drained away...

What was that tender sensation spreading up from her waist all about?

Especially when Chen Yan’s hand slowly moved up her leg, Lu Man felt even stranger.

Although it wasn’t as intense as that night, her body still couldn’t help but tremble and heat up.

So when Chen Yan’s hand was about to reach the edge of her denim shorts, she bit her lip and quickly withdrew her leg.

Looking down at Chen Yan as she withdrew her leg, Lu Man found him looking back up at her.

She swallowed nervously, diverting her gaze, "Okay, that’s enough!"

"That’s it!"

"I believe you!"

What were perfectly normal words became flustered and coquettishly charming with her expression, and the atmosphere instantly grew more amorous.

For a moment, perhaps sensing the awkward atmosphere, Lu Man set the wine bottle back on the table and took a seat on the bed to change the subject, "Oh... oh right, Mei Li said she wanted to change my image, but it would require your cooperation..."

When Lu Man brought up serious matters, Chen Yan’s attention returned from her legs.

He looked at Lu Man, thought for a moment, and said with a slight frown, "She mentioned it to me. But I’ve been a bit busy these past few days, so I haven’t listened carefully, nor agreed."

After speaking, he asked, "What do you think?"

Lu Man was just trying to change the subject. She didn’t have any thoughts on it, so half-sitting on the bed with her shapely legs crossed, she absent-mindedly twirled her hair with her fingers and said, "I don’t really understand. You make the decision."

Having said that, she checked the time, finally finding an excuse to send Chen Yan away, "It’s getting late anyway. You should go. I’m going to take a bath and sleep."

Chen Yan looked at her.

A bath?

She looked at Chen Yan.

Hmm?

After a while, she picked up the wine bottle next to her.

Chen Yan coughed lightly, "Alright, alright."

He had barely stepped out of the room when Lu Man "click" shut the door before Chen Yan could even say "goodbye."

Through the "clack clack" of the metal chain, it seemed the celebrity had even put on the safety chain...

She really didn’t trust Chen Yan at all.

Chen Yan’s hand raised halfway to wave farewell was left hanging awkwardly in mid-air, and he could only embarrassingly scratch his nose.

After touching his nose, Chen Yan remembered that this hand had just been touching Lu Man’s foot and leg.

He looked at his hand with distaste, then sniffed cautiously from a distance: Hmm... it actually smells nice. Seems the celebrity, despite not tidying her room, bathes every day...

Are all girls like this?

...

On the way back, Chen Yan called Mei Li.

The first thing was to have Mei Li put off looking for a house for Lu Man. He had a vacant villa that he could lend to Lu Man for the time being.

Over the phone, Mei Li hesitated for a while, not wanting to agree so quickly.

Though he didn’t use the "Internal Headphones," Chen Yan roughly guessed what she was thinking: worried about mixing business with personal matters and the complications that might arise from disputes in the future.

So Chen Yan generously stated: it was a company benefit. They would keep records. The monthly rent of fifteen thousand would be expensed to the company and paid to Chen Yan.

After hearing this, Mei Li finally reluctantly agreed.

But she wasn’t an easy person to deal with. Seeing Chen Yan bring up his own request, she took the opportunity to bring up the matter of the image change once again.

Chen Yan had been opposed to it when Mei Li mentioned it before, simply because he was not interested.

But now that Lu Man had also brought it up, and Mei Li had just done him a favor, Chen Yan felt it would be impolite to refuse, so he agreed.

His only request: no false advertising and no need for him to do any coordination. He would just quietly make games behind the scenes, while Mei Li handled all the public matters.

Having achieved such an agreement, Mei Li was already very pleased, so she agreed on the spot...

...

Returning home, Chen Yan, who had resolved a matter weighing on his mind, hummed a tune as he went to freshen up.

After freshening up and changing into his pajamas, he was about to get into bed when he caught a glimpse of the phone screen lighting up.

Huh?

What was that?

After getting dressed, Chen Yan picked up his phone and discovered a game notification had popped up,

[The shop has been refreshed.]

Seeing this notification, Chen Yan became excited for a moment.

Refreshed?

Are there new good things to buy?

Thinking this, he unlocked his phone and opened the game, ready to see what new items had been added to the shop.
