When it came to salary, she never asked for much because she didn't want to put too much financial pressure on Sichuan University Group. With Zhou Rui's capability, any company that wanted to poach her would offer at least a million a year, but Zhou Rui only received enough monthly salary to cover her needs while working at Sichuan University Group. Her salary was even less than that of the receptionists at Sichuan University Group. Only Zhou Rui knew all of this.

"Xiao Rui." Lin Chuan finally spoke.

"What's up?" Zhou Rui snorted lightly.

"Thank you." Lin Chuan said with a smile, "Thank you for everything you've done for me."

"Hmph." Zhou Rui turned her head to look out the window, saying, "I don't care about your thanks at all."

Although she seemed uninterested on the surface, Lin Chuan's words had moved her emotionally. She suddenly felt that everything she had done was worth it. She believed her efforts were worthwhile.

"What do you want? I'll buy it for you." Lin Chuan chuckled.

"You can't afford what I want." Zhou Rui bit her red lip, tears swiftly falling down.

"Tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I'll definitely get it for you." Lin Chuan said seriously.

"I want to register for marriage with you. Are you willing?" Zhou Rui suddenly turned to look at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan was stunned, not because he was shocked by Zhou Rui's words, but because he saw the tears streaming down her face. Lin Chuan was completely dumbfounded.

"Alright, I was just joking." Zhou Rui giggled and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, saying, "Don't mind me. I won't register for marriage with you, a playboy. I will definitely find someone better, taller, and handsomer than you."

Lin Chuan remained silent; he knew he couldn't give Zhou Rui what she wanted. He also knew that the words Zhou Rui just said came from her heart. Therefore, he felt very conflicted inside.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you what you want." Lin Chuan sighed.

"Then..." Zhou Rui blinked, saying, "Then just give me a beautiful memory."

"What do you want to do?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Drive to the Golden Shield Hotel." Zhou Rui said, raising her eyebrows suggestively, "Do you dare?"

"There's nothing I don't dare, just, have you thought it through?" Lin Chuan asked solemnly, "Are you really willing to... Aren't you afraid your future husband will doubt you?"

"Fool, what era are we in?" Zhou Rui glared at Lin Chuan without good humor, saying, "Nowadays, even high school girls aren't virgins anymore. Sigh, I'm already in my late twenties and still a virgin. People would laugh and call me an old maid!"

"No." Lin Chuan shook his head, saying, "This just shows that you are steadfast in your love and cherish your chastity very much."

"Stop talking nonsense and drive!" Zhou Rui glared at Lin Chuan, saying, "Weren't you going to make it up to me? Then hurry to the Golden Shield Hotel. I just want to taste what it's like to be a woman. Life is fleeting; what if I die tomorrow and never experience a man?"

"Uh..." Lin Chuan looked embarrassed.

Under Zhou Rui's urging, Lin Chuan had no choice but to drive to the Golden Shield Hotel.

At the reception, both had to present their IDs. In the past, Zhou Rui never blushed when checking into a room, but this time she kept her head down the whole way, her face as red as a monkey's behind. Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Why are you blushing? You were the one who wanted to come here."

"You scoundrel." Zhou Rui teased Lin Chuan by twirling his little finger with hers bashfully.

Lin Chuan laughed, saying, "This was your request, don't blame me."

After checking into the room, Zhou Rui's face was even redder. She held Lin Chuan's hand, hesitating and not daring to go up. Her face was flushed, her entire demeanor awkward and bashful.

"What? Not going up?" Lin Chuan asked.

"I..." Zhou Rui blushed.

"Should we go back?" Lin Chuan suggested.

"No!" Zhou Rui responded vehemently, suddenly realizing her reaction was a bit too intense, she awkwardly said, "A room costing over a thousand yuan can't be wasted; I want to stay for the night and see how it feels."

Lin Chuan's lips curled into a sly smile, saying, "How about you stay, and I go back?"

"No way!" Zhou Rui tugged at Lin Chuan's arm, saying, "If you leave, I'll be scared."

Reluctantly, Lin Chuan accompanied her upstairs.

Walking down the hallway, the dim lighting and the carpet underfoot seemed like an endless path. They finally reached the room door, and Lin Chuan used a key card to open it. Zhou Rui suddenly seemed lost, hesitating. She bit her red lip and asked, "Are we really going in?"

"If not, we'll go home." Lin Chuan said.

"Let's go in." Zhou Rui hurriedly pushed open the door.

The room is quite spacious, with a large, comfortable bed set in the bedroom, the snow-white bedding neatly laid out. Beside it stands a high-end desk with some books placed behind it, and a feedback card on the table.

Upon entering the room, Zhou Rui has been sitting on the sofa, fiddling with her hair in silence.

Lin Chuan sat down across from her and asked, "Xiao Rui, are we going to sit here all night?"

"Then… what are we going to do?" Zhou Rui said blushing, "Didn't you say you wanted to take a bath? Go ahead and wash up."

"Alright, I'll go wash up!" With that, Lin Chuan stood up and started to undress.

"Don't… don't take off your clothes here," Zhou Rui said hurriedly.

"How can I wash without taking off my clothes?" Lin Chuan said, puzzled.

"Then... go inside to undress, don't do it here." Zhou Rui quickly said.

Lin Chuan had to awkwardly walk into the room. He had always been quick with bathing, and within three to five minutes he came out wrapped in a towel, calling out: "Xiao Rui, it's your turn to take a bath now."

"I'll… I'll wait." Zhou Rui blushed, her heart racing.

"What's the matter?" Lin Chuan laughed, "You're not regretting it, are you?"

"I am not regretting it," Zhou Rui shook her head and said, "I'll go wash up."

And with that, the girl slipped into the bathroom, locking the door behind her. This girl sure took her time showering; she only emerged cautiously after half an hour, her hair wrapped in a towel, a towel around her body, covering from her chest down to the top of her thighs. Although her body was covered, she still shyly clutched at herself.

Zhou Rui had always been a carefree tomboy, but at this moment, she was even shyer than a girl from the Lin family, which fully proved Lin Chuan's inner judgment. Zhou Rui was outwardly bold but inwardly very conservative. Otherwise, in her over twenty-year life, she would have given up her purity long ago.

Lin Chuan lay at the head of the bed, beneath the towel a tent had long been erected.

"Come here." Lin Chuan's lips curled into a smug smile, "Haven't you always wanted this? Why hesitate now?"

"I…" Zhou Rui blushed, awkwardly saying, "Can't you give me some time to accept and process it? It's a first for me, so you need to understand, okay?"

"Alright, I'll wait for you." Lin Chuan's lips curled into a wicked smile.

Zhou Rui shuffled her steps slowly, though it only took a few meters, she took over a minute to walk.

Reaching the edge of the bed, she hesitated. Lin Chuan suddenly grabbed her arm, and Zhou Rui seemed like a frightened fawn. She stammered, "Don't… don't… I'll… I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself."

"Come on up." Lin Chuan lifted the covers, saying, "Aren't you cold standing out there?"

"I…" Zhou Rui blushed, afraid to speak.

Lin Chuan chuckled, "Come on up."

Zhou Rui hesitantly crawled up, carefully curling herself under the covers. Lin Chuan reached out and wrapped an arm around her neck, and Zhou Rui reflexively resisted him. Zhou Rui blushed and said, "Don't... I'm... I'm scared!"

"Scared of what?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Afraid of pain, they all say a woman's first time is very painful," Zhou Rui bit her lips and said, "I'm scared of the pain."

"Heh, I'll make you forget the pain." Lin Chuan's lips curled into a mysterious smile, "Promise it won't hurt anymore, and this pain is just temporary, not lasting. So… there's nothing to be afraid of."

"I'm scared!" Zhou Rui blushed, unable to meet Lin Chuan's gaze.

"Then forget it." Lin Chuan lay down and laughed, "We'll just sleep here tonight, and leave in the morning."

After Lin Chuan lay down, Zhou Rui said nothing. She bit her lip, inwardly struggling, not knowing what to do. After thinking for a long time, she finally summoned her courage and said: "Lin Chuan, come on. I'm... I'm not afraid anymore, I will overcome my fear."

"Ready?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Mm." Zhou Rui nodded, "I'm an adult now, I'll take responsibility for my actions and besides, it's what I've always dreamt of, so of course, I won't give up easily. So, Lin Chuan, come on."

Lin Chuan turned and jumped up, quickly pressing down on Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui closed her eyes and bit her lips. Though she said so, her hands tightly gripped the towel on her body, afraid it would fall off.

Lin Chuan gently kissed Zhou Rui's lips, and under Lin Chuan's soft comfort, Zhou Rui gradually let go of her resistance, slowly accepting Lin Chuan, accepting Lin Chuan's caress, accepting Lin Chuan's touch.

Lin Chuan's hands gently removed Zhou Rui's hands from the towel.

Though Zhou Rui clutched tightly at that towel, it couldn't hide this girl's perfect curves. Her snowy white skin seemed to be as smooth as Xinjiang Hetian jade, with no flaws on Zhou Rui's body, seeming natural and flawless. Those long legs, perfectly proportioned without a trace of excess flesh, and her flat belly was incredibly enticing.
