Chapter 41
“I’m looking at travel guides, but I don’t know where would be a good place for a vacation. It’s rare to get time off.”
Jiang Shangwan’s fingertip glided over one recommendation post after another, but it always felt like something was missing. She hadn’t found a place she really wanted to go.
“Take your time, no rush. Anywhere is fine.”
Where to go wasn’t important. For Shi Yu, traveling was just about eating, drinking, and having fun in a different place. What mattered more was who he spent the time with.
“How about going to Haishi?” Jiang Shangwan suddenly asked. “The Heavenly Lake of Changbai Mountain is near Haishi. Have you been there?”
“No, I haven’t,” he replied. His first 18 years were spent on studying, and after that, it was just about studying, love, and work. Traveling was something he only started considering after being with Jiang Shangwan, when there was time for leisure.
“How long has it been since you went home?” Jiang Shangwan asked helplessly. “It’s been a while, right?”
“Mm.” Shi Yu answered softly, “I haven’t gone back since I started university.”
“Then let’s go to Changbai Mountain, and then we can stop by Haishi.”
“Haishi is underdeveloped. It’s not a tourist spot, and there’s not much to see. I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.”
“It’s fine.” Jiang Shangwan tilted her head, gently hooking his chin with her finger, and said softly, “I want to see the place you grew up.”
A few years ago, she had hurriedly visited Haishi just because she had an impulse to inspect the students she was sponsoring. She hadn’t truly gotten to know the city.
Shi Yu followed her movements, holding her hand. “I’m more afraid that you won’t have fun.”
“I won’t, as long as I’m with you.”
The friction of their skin stirred desire. In an instant, their blood ignited and boiled like raging fire. After a glance, it seemed like they were about to explode at any moment; in each other’s eyes, they saw longing and eagerness. Jiang Shangwan then pushed Shi Yu onto the bed, straddling him with legs apart.
She grabbed the tip of his shirt. She really liked seeing him in formal clothes, which perfectly highlighted his slim waist and long legs. His muscles were toned but not exaggerated, just enough to fill out the shirt perfectly while maintaining a clean and sharp look. His tightly pressed lips, buttoned up all the way to the top, and even the leather belt fastened at his waist all gave off a strong sense of restraint and self-control.
Just looking at him makes me want to push him down, tease him, and mess him up.
Jiang Shangwan leaned down halfway, one hand supporting himself on the bed, the other hand gently touching his warm face, five fingers softly covering his smooth, slender profile.
“Look at me directly.” Jiang Shangwan lightly swayed her body, rubbing against his waist, feeling his tense muscles. Her gaze was hazy as it swept over his half-closed eyes, straight nose, slightly raised chin, and finally rested on his slightly parted thin lips.
Shi Yu obediently met her gaze full of desire: “Wanwan.”
Her fingertips started to get restless, hooking onto the hair by his ear, slowly sliding along his smooth jawline, down to his slender, long neck, then pressing firmly on his Adam’s apple. “Why do you keep moving?”
His knuckles were pressed, and the skin nearby trembled slightly, with bluish veins visible beneath. Shi Yu curled his lips into a smile and said, “I can’t help it. Wanwan’s touch just feels so intense.”
“Then you’re really bad, with no self-control at all.” Jiang Shangwan loved teasing him the most, enjoying how he looked both restrained and longing. She liked to tempt him, watching his face flush red, his uncontrollable physical reactions driven by desire, and seeing his icy expression completely melt under her touch and presence.
“I’m bad, Wanwan is good.” Shi Yu’s breathing began to grow heavy and gradually became more rapid.
Jiang Shangwan scraped forcefully along his collarbone until a red mark appeared, then released her hand with satisfaction. Shi Yu’s skin was fair and thin, so it reddened easily.
She slowly unbuttoned his shirt, starting with the top collar, then the chest, the stomach… until his waist and abdomen were fully exposed. His beautiful muscles were neatly aligned, and the lines along his side extended out of sight. This was Jiang Shangwan’s favorite place to touch.
When playing games, she liked to randomly pinch his face, doing it as exaggeratedly as possible. It was precisely because Shi Yu looked so cool and clean in real life that he stirred all her dirty desires to the fullest.
Jiang Shangwan’s clothes were still mostly intact, but Shi Yu’s shirt had been completely undone, exposing a large area of skin. She had pulled out his belt, and his pants hung loosely with the waistband undone.
She looked down at him from above, able to easily control the body, movements, and desires of the person beneath her. This sense of control gave her great satisfaction. Her fingertips traced the muscles at his waist, igniting a fire within him as she teased, “Shall we keep undressing?”
Shi Yu looked at her with a fascinated gaze, watching her slightly slipping top that revealed half of her fair waist. “I’ll do whatever Wanwan says.”
Jiang Shangwan recalled something he once said: “Do you still want me to sit on your face?”
Shi Yu’s eyes were already moist as he hesitantly said, “Is it really okay?”
The soft touch of a tongue stirred inside. Jiang Shangwan closed her eyes, feeling the suffocating sensation of being thrown into midair. Her slightly pale fingertips clenched the sheets, creating wrinkles, while her other hand was held tightly by Shi Yu.
He loved intertwining his fingers with hers during intimate moments, as if wanting to feel their connection more intensely and directly. Their skin and flesh were tightly linked, and they wanted to merge each other into their very bones and blood.
Jiang Shangwan’s whole body felt weak and limp, almost unable to straighten her back. Her mind was nearly blank. She wanted to climb off him, but he firmly held her down with his large hand, not letting her leave, his movements growing even more urgent.
Jiang Shangwan trembled all over, her mind buzzing loudly as if time had stopped in these few seconds.
Only then did Shi Yu release her from his hold. His tongue licked the damp traces at the corner of her lips, savoring every bit thoroughly, as if afraid to miss anything. “…Wanwan smells so good.”
Jiang Shangwan blushed and playfully slapped him—this was the first time someone had… eaten her like that. And he didn’t mind being a little messy.
She was satisfied, but Shi Yu wasn’t yet. His ears were tinged with a light red, and his deep gaze looked at her. “Wanwan, do you still want more?”
Jiang Shangwan’s heart fluttered slightly under his direct gaze, as if she were being locked onto by a hunter’s eyes. She leaned down and covered his eyes with her hand, softly saying, “There’s a new condom in the cabinet to the left.”
“Okay,” Shi Yu chuckled lightly. “Then Wanwan can help me open it and put it on.”
—
They held each other, feeling each other’s warm, wet breath. Shi Yu wrapped his arms around Jiang Shangwan’s slender waist, reluctant to let go for a long moment.
“Bad boy,” Jiang Shangwan said angrily, “aren’t you coming out yet?”
“Wait a moment,” Shi Yu buried his entire face into her neck and murmured, “Wanwan smells so good and feels so nice.”
After fooling around for quite a while, the two of them slowly got up and went to the bedroom. Jiang Shangwan felt weak and sore all over. After Shi Yu finished his shower and prepared the water, he carried her to the bathtub and scattered a layer of dark red rose petals on the surface.
The water covered her body, steam swirling around, leaving only her smooth, pale shoulders exposed. Shi Yu couldn’t help but lean in, planting soft kisses one after another on her shoulder blades.
“Stop messing around,” Jiang Shangwan pushed him away. “If you keep teasing, I’ll feel it again.”
Shi Yu had no choice but to get up amid her pushes, pouring hot water over her back, then obediently squatted to the side watching her soak in the bath.
“Why are you acting like a child? You have to stick by my side even when I’m just taking a bath.”
“Yeah,” Shi Yu said, “I’m Wanwan’s little puppy.”
“You’re a naughty little puppy, the kind that bites—really scary when you go wild.”
Jiang Shangwan recalled how just now he had held her tightly, not letting her leave, locking her down firmly until she fully gave in before finally letting her go. That showed just how mischievous he really was.
“Whatever Wanwan says goes.”
The bath washed away much of her fatigue. Jiang Shangwan lazily stretched out her hands, waiting for Shi Yu to carry her back. Wrapped in a large towel, she was held firmly around the waist and then gently laid down on the soft silk bedding.
Shi Yu went to cut some fruit. After being intimate, it’s easy to get hungry from the energy spent. He placed the sliced oranges and watermelon by her side.
Jiang Shangwan, focused on playing Deep Blue Love, complained, “Why is your experience bar so strict? Leveling up is too slow. There are many sections I want to unlock but can’t. Even spending money doesn’t help—you have to complete a lot of tasks to level up, and it gets harder the higher you go.”
“It’s to increase players’ endurance for the game. If you maxed out too quickly, you’d get bored fast,” Shi Yu stroked her head. “You can start a guild and recruit others to help you with tasks—that way, leveling up will be faster.”
“A guild? Where is that section?”
“At the bottom left of the map.”
At first, Jiang Shangwan was just curious about what game Shi Yu was playing. As she played more, she actually got a bit immersed and made it a habit to log in every day. She casually asked, “How much is your monthly revenue now?”
“Deep Blue? Currently, the average monthly revenue is 60 million.”
Jiang Shangwan instantly looked up when she heard the number. “I know female-oriented games make money, but I didn’t expect it to be this profitable. Overall, it should earn much more than Wish Come True.”
“Yes.” Shi Yu fed her a small piece of watermelon with a fork, watching her take it into her mouth and chew slowly. “Wish Come True has done very well as a simple interactive platform, but the gaming market still has huge potential. The two are fundamentally different. If we can’t create a more valuable platform in the future, we’ll most likely continue to focus deeply on the gaming sector. We’ve all been lucky because of Wanwan to get this far.”
If he hadn’t met her, he never would have felt pressured to improve himself or thought about starting a business to be a better match for her.
Jiang Shangwan quietly estimated the market value of her 50% stake—it was like the small gifts she had received earlier, now growing exponentially in value.
She suddenly grabbed his collar, held the back of his head, and gave him a fruity kiss. “Well done, here’s your reward.”
Shi Yu then pecked her lips a few more times, lingering as he pressed his fingertips against his own lips.
“Wanwan, if you like playing Deep Blue, I can register your account in the backend, top up your in-game currency to 9,999,999,999, and unlock all the sections for you. That way, you wouldn’t have to spend any money yourself.”
“No,” Jiang Shangwan refused outright. “That would be no fun. I want to play slowly. Besides, I like spending money—I want to contribute to my boyfriend’s huge revenue.”
