Chapter 33

Chapter Thirty-Three: The Little Maid

Bailan, seeing that Lin Chen didn't seem to be angry, let out a sigh of relief. However, when she heard him teasing her, she blushed a little but still retorted:

"I'm not stupid. I can tell what most men want just by looking into their eyes. Most men who approach me have ill intentions, and I can guess their dirty thoughts without even trying. But you, Brother Lin Chen, are different. At least from the first time we met until now, I haven't seen any of that filth in your eyes, and you've always been helping me."

A look of surprise flashed across Lin Chen's face, but he quickly relaxed.

Bailan, despite her young age, had already experienced the harsh realities of society. Though she was innocent, she had seen all sorts of people. It was impossible for her to have no judgment at all.

However, to say that Bailan was mature in her thinking was also a stretch. If she encountered a man who was good at pretending, she would likely still be easily deceived.

Bailan led the way, and the two quickly arrived at her place. After she packed her things, Lin Chen hailed a taxi and took her back to his place.

Liantang Village Community.

Lin Chen held Bailan's few belongings in his hand, and she followed closely behind him, like a little puppy afraid of being abandoned by its owner.

Occasionally, they would encounter residents of the community who would look at them. Bailan would politely smile at them, afraid of leaving a bad impression. She was a girl who lived cautiously.

However, because of her innocent and beautiful smile, a group of single men in the community envied and hated Lin Chen, wishing they could kill him and take his place.

"Damn, what kind of good luck does Lin Chen have? He was with a blonde beauty a few days ago, and now he's with a pure and cute little beauty?"

"Yeah! I think I'm much handsomer than him, but he not only got a beautiful girl but is also dating two girls at the same time. I could strangle him!"

"This little girl looks so pure, and that shy look of hers is just like a gentle and weak child bride from ancient novels. If you stand, she knows to crouch; if you kneel, she knows to stick out her butt; if you lie down, she knows to sit on you. If I had such a little girlfriend, I'd be willing to live twenty years less."

"..."

If looks could kill, Lin Chen would have been torn to pieces by now.

Finally, they arrived at his small rental apartment, and Lin Chen opened the door and walked in.

"This place is a bit small. We'll look for a new place tomorrow and see if there are any suitable houses nearby. For tonight, we'll have to squeeze in together. Come in, why are you standing at the door?"

Lin Chen put the things he was carrying on the bedside table and said to the shy Bailan standing at the door.

Bailan was curiously looking around the small room. Hearing Lin Chen's words, she nodded and walked in hesitantly, like a newlywed bride.

Seeing that there was only one bed in the small room, her face turned red, and she stammered, "Brother Lin Chen, there's... only one bed here?"

Lin Chen nodded. "Yes. I only live here by myself, so of course, there's only one bed."

"But... but... where will I sleep?"

Seeing Lin Chen's matter-of-fact expression, Bailan was taken aback. She fidgeted with her fingers, looking at a loss.

With only one bed, how would they sleep? Together?

Seeing her panic, Lin Chen couldn't bear to tease her further and laughed. "Alright, don't worry. I'll sleep on the floor tonight, and you can take the bed. Don't say you want to sleep on the floor and let me take the bed. But, Bailan, I think you're a bit naughty. At your age, how can you have so many unhealthy thoughts? You're not even fully developed yet, and I'm only interested in mature women, hehe."

Hearing his words, Bailan blushed but still puffed out her chest and pouted, "I'm not naughty, and I'm not that young. I'm 17, and I'm already fully developed."

The little girl looked delicate and weak, but her chest was full, and her pure, fair face gave off an especially endearing aura. Men who saw her would want to hold her in their arms, protect her, and gently comfort her.

Seeing her puff out her chest and look shy, Lin Chen's heart stirred. This little girl would definitely be a beauty in a year or two.

After being teased by Lin Chen, Bailan's originally tense mood relaxed.

She walked around the room curiously.

Lin Chen chuckled, as he saw a bit of his mother in Bailan, a housewife vibe.

Bailan squatted down to look at a few spots, then picked up the broom by the bathroom door and started cleaning. After that, she took a cloth and continued cleaning, making Lin Chen laugh and cry at the same time. What was going on? He hadn't hired her as a maid.

"You look like a little maid. Remember, I'm not paying you any wages," Lin Chen teased.

Bailan smiled at him cutely but didn't answer, continuing to clean the computer desk as if it were her job.

In Bailan's mind, Lin Chen had helped her fight the bad guys today and was going to treat her illness. She couldn't find a way to repay him, so she had to be diligent. If she did nothing, she would feel very uncomfortable.

Lin Chen smiled and left her alone. Having a girl help him clean the room felt nice, giving him a sense of warmth.

He sat on the only chair in the room, turned on the old Pentium III desktop, and started looking for a suitable place to rent nearby.

As the sky grew dark, Lin Chen took Bailan downstairs for dinner and then planned to start her treatment.

"Alright, lie down on the bed, and I'll start the treatment."

Lin Chen laid the blanket on the hard wooden bed, sat at the head of the bed, and patted the blanket, smiling at Bailan.

He patted the blanket heavily, making a "papa" sound, like a despicable landlord ordering a little maid to warm his bed.

Bailan's face turned red, but she knew he was going to give her acupuncture, so she lay down on the bed.

Her face buried in the blanket, the strong scent of a man made her face hot, and her heart pounded as if it would jump out of her chest.

Bailan asked shyly, "Brother Lin Chen, do I need to take off my clothes for the acupuncture?"

She was wearing a thin white T-shirt and wasn't sure if Lin Chen could perform the acupuncture like this.

Lin Chen chuckled, "This T-shirt is very thin, so you don't need to take it off. But if you want to, I won't mind."

Hearing Lin Chen's answer, Bailan's face turned even redder, and she buried her head deeper in the blanket, like an ostrich.

Lin Chen took out the silver needles, his smile fading, and became serious. He selected several dozen needles and began the acupuncture.

After each needle was inserted, he used a special technique to manipulate it. Bailan, with her face buried in the blanket, occasionally made pig-like grunts, which carried a hint of suppressed pleasure.

After about ten minutes, dozens of needles were inserted into Bailan's back.

By then, Bailan was drenched in sweat, lying weakly on Lin Chen's bed.

Lin Chen laughed, "Little girl, how do you feel? You're burying your head so deep, are you drooling on my blanket?"

Bailan lifted her red face from the blanket, "I feel very hot, and when Brother Lin Chen manipulates the needles, it feels very comfortable, as if a current is flowing through my body from the needles."

"So it's that comfortable? No wonder you were grunting like a little pig," Lin Chen teased.

"Of... of course not," Bailan buried her head back in the blanket, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness.

Lin Chen laughed and began removing the needles from Bailan's body. Soon, all the needles were back in his hand.

"Alright, the treatment is over. Get up and take a shower. You're all sweaty, and you've soaked the blanket."

Bailan sat up from the blanket.

Lin Chen's eyes widened, and he felt a fire in his lower abdomen.

Because of the sweat, Bailan's thin white T-shirt had become almost transparent.

Her slender waist, cute little belly button, and light blue bra...

Lin Chen swallowed hard, feeling a strong desire to pounce on the girl in front of him.

Following Lin Chen's gaze, Bailan saw her own body and blushed deeply. Lin Chen's wolf-like gaze scared her, and she hurriedly took out her clothes from her bag and ran to the bathroom.

Seeing Bailan run away, Lin Chen finally came to his senses.

"Lin Chen, you beast! The little girl trusts you, don't do anything inappropriate!"

He scolded himself, wondering when he would finally lose his virginity, as his body's fire was getting stronger.

At that moment, his phone received a text message, indicating that 30,000 RMB had been deposited into his bank account.

Lin Chen looked puzzled, unsure why he had received 30,000 RMB. Could someone have made a mistake?

But he thought it was unlikely. So who had sent him the money?

His phone rang, and Lin Chen answered, "Sister Xixi, did you just send me 30,000 RMB?"

On the other end, Su Xiran's gentle voice replied, "Yes, I sent it to you. I don't know what's going on with you. You quit your job and don't seem to have any plans to find a new one. I don't know what you're thinking.

I figured you probably don't have much money, so I sent you some. Don't worry about paying me back. I don't spend much anyway. Take care of yourself and don't go hungry."

Lin Chen fell silent, deeply moved.

He knew that although Su Xiran earned a good salary, most of it went to her family, and she didn't have much money herself. The 30,000 RMB was likely all her savings.

Su Xiran didn't know about his inheritance or why he had quit his job, but she had sent him money out of concern. He was especially grateful to this beautiful sister who had been a great help to him, and he had a special feeling for her.
