After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 17: You are the white moonlight of my youth!

Shen Fanyun lay on the couch, idly scrolling through his phone. A shower had washed away the effects of the alcohol, leaving him startlingly sober—sober enough to hear Li Ruoshui’s breathing, which was heavy yet desperately suppressed. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The room, with its main light off, was cast in a hazy brightness. Li Ruoshui gazed at Shen Fanyun’s face, as if trying to make up for a decade of lost time all at once.

He hasn’t changed much, has he? Still so handsome, still so captivating...

A long, long time ago, Li Ruoshui had asked herself why she found it so hard to forget Shen Fanyun. After all, she had met countless handsome and outstanding men over the years. Picking an excellent man to spend her life with would have been effortless.

But... None of them were as good as the man before me!

Perhaps it was his youthful innocence, his sunny disposition, and that one incident that had, without her realizing, etched Shen Fanyun deep into her heart.

"Cough, cough."

Li Ruoshui suddenly coughed.

Shen Fanyun frowned. "What’s wrong?"

"It’s a bit dry. Could you get me a bottle of water?" Li Ruoshui asked.

Shen Fanyun got up and found a bottle of purified water in the fridge. Feeling it was a bit cold, he warmed it under the hot water tap.

Li Ruoshui’s slender eyebrows rose as if, in that single instant, countless memories of the past came flooding back.

「That year.」

As a new transfer student, she found herself at a completely unfamiliar school. It was then that Li Ruoshui, the newcomer, finally understood the worst of human nature: bullying the new kid.

Back then, she hadn’t fully blossomed yet. She still had some baby fat, and since she didn’t put much effort into her hair, she looked like just another ordinary student. Almost no one in her class spoke to her. She was always alone—studying alone, walking to and from school alone. During breaks, whether she was tired or just resting, she could never find anyone to talk to. It was dull, tedious, and difficult to endure.

Li Ruoshui had even tried to curry favor a few times, attempting to fit in with her classmates, but she was only met with indifference and disdain.

"Do you remember the first time we talked?" Li Ruoshui asked, smiling at Shen Fanyun.

Shen Fanyun replied, "I have some memory of it."

"It was during gym class that day. I suddenly got a stomachache, so painful I couldn’t even stand up, so I had no choice but to rest in the classroom," Li Ruoshui said slowly, holding the warm bottle of water he had handed her. "You were the one who noticed something was wrong. You brought me a cup of water, and because you were worried that drinking it cold would make me feel worse, you tucked it inside your shirt to warm it for me.

At that time, I thought, how could there be such a kind, yet endearingly goofy, boy in this world!"

In that difficult, isolated environment, Shen Fanyun’s sudden act of kindness was like a beam of light in her heart.

Shen Fanyun shrugged. "You still remember that?"

"I’ll remember it for the rest of my life," Li Ruoshui said, her tone emphatic.

But just as I was finally blossoming, growing more stunning during the best years of my life, you left. You went to a place far, far away—so far away that I wondered if I would ever see you again.

"Fanyun, I like you," Li Ruoshui said, grabbing his hand as he passed her the water. Then, she quickly shifted her body, freeing up half the bed. She gestured for Shen Fanyun to get under the covers, which she had already been warming for a while.

In the dim light, Shen Fanyun caught a full view of Li Ruoshui’s form. Her skin was so fair he could see the faint blue of her veins. She was a true natural-born siren. The unique scent of her body made Shen Fanyun, a young man in his prime, feel his blood instantly boil, and the hair on his skin stood on end.

"Do you have any idea what you’re doing?" Shen Fanyun asked, hoping she would calm down.

Li Ruoshui just smiled, her eyes shimmering with a crystalline glint. "Even just sitting next to me and talking would be nice!"

Resigned, Shen Fanyun could only sit on the edge of the bed next to her. The moment he sat down, he realized he’d been tricked. The girl intentionally brushed her scorching-hot body against his arm and, without the slightest hesitation, wrapped her right arm around his chest.

"I want to hear your heartbeat." Li Ruoshui pressed her ear against Shen Fanyun’s chest. Deciding his bathrobe was in the way, she simply pulled it wide open.

This is going to ignite something sooner or later! Besides, with a top-tier beauty like Li Ruoshui, whose figure and looks are both exquisite, I’ve never considered myself some kind of saint. Li Ruoshui is playing with fire!

"It’s so fast," Li Ruoshui murmured, feeling the frantic pounding of his heart.

Shen Fanyun was rendered speechless. Any man with a naked, smooth-skinned, and fragrant beauty pressed against him would lose his composure and become aroused.

"I’ve never... done this before." Li Ruoshui looked up, her limpid eyes fixed on his. Perhaps realizing she had been too forward, a wave of shyness washed over her, and she quickly raised her hands to cover her flushed, rosy face.

In a sudden reversal, Shen Fanyun flipped her over, pinning her beneath him.

Li Ruoshui felt her whole body go taut, like a rope pulled tight without warning. Nerves, a racing heart, and a faint tremor that ran through her entire being. She truly had no experience with the intimacy between a man and a woman. She didn’t even know what to do or how to respond to him.

Ultimately, relying on pure instinct, she followed the only steps she could think of, slowly and obediently parting her legs.

"Is... is this right?" Li Ruoshui asked cautiously, her voice barely a whisper, afraid of distracting him. She had to admit, he was heavy, and his weight made it a little hard for her to breathe. Naturally, the movements of her legs became slower and slower.

"What should I do next?" Li Ruoshui asked, still covering her face with her hands. She peeked through her fingers, her gaze full of curious innocence.

Parched, Shen Fanyun didn’t answer her question. He undid his bathrobe with one hand, his body moving closer and closer to hers until his chest pressed perfectly against her own. Their souls merged completely.

A pleasure that was impossible to describe in words surged through Li Ruoshui’s mind. Her collarbones hollowed deeply, veins stood out on her upper body, and her hands, with nowhere else to go, gripped the corners of the pillow for dear life. Li Ruoshui opened her mouth to speak, but all that came out were intermittent, muffled moans.

"This might hurt," Shen Fanyun warned.

"Ah?" Li Ruoshui let out a soft cry. Her half-closed eyes flickered over his face, and in the next second, a piercing pain spread through her body like a tidal wave. She reflexively arched her hips high, her hands clinging to his neck as if it were her last lifeline.

It hurt. But it was also blissful. What a strange experience!
