Chapter 455 - 453: Am I Too Innocent?
Chapter 455 - 453: Am I Too Innocent?
Lu Yan really didn’t expect this little girl to bluntly ask about that matter again.
It was already something that made both of them feel awkward.
And moreover, it was an unexpected occurrence.
But Song Nuan is the type who asks about anything she doesn’t understand, never burying doubts in her heart, always asking them outright.
This made Lu Yan slightly taken aback.
Why apologize?
Directly tell her, apologize for having those inappropriate thoughts about her?
Thinking of this, and looking at Song Nuan’s face, that feeling in his heart was rekindled, like a wildfire spreading, impossible to suppress.
The more he thought, the more it seeped through his entire body, making him feel hot all over.
Perhaps he really had never met a girl as serene and pure as Song Nuan, she truly stirred a man’s protective instincts.
Delicate, very clean.
Lu Yan furrowed his brows deeper, wondering if this was the inherent flaw of men?
He always used to look down on those who would act on lust.
Until such a thing happened to him, this feeling was really...
Uncomfortable.
Forcing himself to suppress that urge, don’t think like a beast.
She’s only 18, still studying!
"Perhaps..." Lu Yan hesitated before speaking: "After all, you’re a girl, things like this are disadvantageous to the woman."
Lu Yan smiled: "I’m fine."
Song Nuan softly said "Oh", then suddenly smiled: "Am I still pretty naive?"
Lu Yan: "???"
He didn’t quite understand why this little girl suddenly asked him such a question?
It was quite baffling.
But, she indeed sounded naive.
Naive and enticing, making one unable to resist the urge to pick her.
Song Nuan looked at his puzzled expression: "Am I so naive that you don’t have any thoughts at all?"
"I’m just a child, aren’t I?"
She asked seriously, her eyes pure and clear.
A child, who could still catch others’ attention.
Maybe some people just like those who appear young and are actually young.
At a time when values and worldviews haven’t fully developed.
They can be deliberately shaped and molded by someone.
Lu Yan licked his lips, wanting to brush off the question but felt he couldn’t just brush it off like that.
He slowly adjusted his tone: "No."
"All these questions just depend on whether the person looking at you wants to see you as a child."
Lu Yan looked at her and said: "If they see you as a child, then naturally you are a child."
"If they want to see you as a woman," Lu Yan’s Adam’s apple moved, "then naturally you are a woman."
This answer was exceptionally profound.
Song Nuan’s eyes flickered: "Then if you see me as a classmate, that’s why in your view I’m a child."
Lu Yan: "..."
Otherwise, he didn’t know what to say.
Song Nuan slightly tilted her head: "Then if I’m a child in your eyes, why say sorry to me?"
"Since as a child there is no taking advantage or being taken advantage of, why say sorry to me?"
Song Nuan’s thoughts were sharp and organized, well-reasoned and clear-cut.
Leaving Lu Yan somewhat speechless.
Really, as expected of a good student, her logical thinking was too strong.
"Just consider it a moment of hotheadedness from me."
Song Nuan’s voice was pure and soft: "In a hotheaded moment, I took you for a woman."
"Didn’t you have that momentary impulse?"
Song Nuan asked this question particularly calmly.
Right now, she genuinely wanted to know everything about exploring the opposite sex and life’s experiences.
Everything and anything, she was eager to know.
The calm question made Lu Yan’s heart even more unsettled.
Lu Yan deeply gazed at Song Nuan: "What do you want to ask?"
"I want honesty." Song Nuan said: "Do you have them? Those thoughts?"
Perhaps her gaze was too pure and honest.
It made Lu Yan’s thoughts feel even more absurd and improper.
Yet perhaps this was the most genuine human reaction.
"Do you or don’t you?" Song Nuan pressed, staring straight at Lu Yan’s face: "Could it be you have the guts to think but not to say?"
She didn’t know who gave her this courage; she never thought she would ever ask such questions.
The man looked straight into her eyes: "Yes, but..."
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Song Nuan interrupted him.
A moment of being hotheaded, a moment of eagerness, a moment of wanting to experience everything.
"If you don’t, would you try it with me?"
Her feelings for him weren’t bad, and she thought he was nice, she wouldn’t mind dating him.
Some of her classmates had already been pregnant.
Some middle school classmates had dropped out to give birth.
She felt perhaps it was her own outdated conservative thoughts that made her this way.
Others date without worrying about whether they like each other, they believe feelings will develop over time.
"What?" Lu Yan, at this moment, couldn’t believe his ears.
Clearly, she was a soft and shy girl, yet she could suddenly come out with such words?
Song Nuan: "My classmates have already been pregnant, and some already have boyfriends."
"Maybe they’ve done everything that couples should and shouldn’t do, but I haven’t."
"I haven’t even been in a relationship."
"So, I want to give it a try."
A kind of try where anything goes.
She’s throwing herself out there, she’s just going all in recklessly.
Up until now, her life was mostly filled with homework, test papers, and textbooks.
But right at this moment, she wants her life to be colorful, she wants to go with the flow.
She becomes bold, she wants to take risks, aren’t modern girls able to date one and move on to another?
So why can’t she?
Her sister also pursued her brother-in-law because of his looks.
Now her sister and brother-in-law have also done everything they should and shouldn’t do, why can’t she?
If others can, so can she.
Lu Yan stared at her, a bit amused: "What kind of person do you think I am?"
"A jerk?"
"Even if I have those inappropriate thoughts, it’s only due to physiological reasons reaching that point. I’m not so heartless as to mess with a kid."
"Do you even know what you’re saying?"
"I do." Song Nuan said, "If you don’t agree, then forget it."
Facing his rejection, she felt displeased.
But it didn’t matter, she could find someone else.
Lu Yan was momentarily at a loss for words, she was too calm, as if it was just a casual question.
Like anyone could be asked the same.
What kind of blow did this girl suffer?
Seeing through her thoughts, Lu Yan stared at her and spoke, "If I disagree, you’ll find someone else?"
"Yes." Song Nuan looked at Lu Yan: "That’s right, experiencing this is my own decision."
Lu Yan instantly felt a weight on his chest, how crazy is this?
Who pushed a quirky girl they’ve just met to this point?
Why has her personality changed so dramatically?
"Old Lu." Suddenly, a lazy voice came from the doorway.
Turning his head, Tang Si stepped in.
"So soon?" Lu Yan looked at him: "The person ran away?"
"Ran away." Tang Si licked his lips, "They ran away before we even got there, too cunning."
"Maybe the opposing intelligence officer is top-notch." Lu Yan said, "No information at all?"
Tang Si: "None."
He pressed his lips together, "We should have succeeded in the raid this time, but they suddenly withdrew for some reason."
"Without a sign of warning."
It’s very strange, at what point did something go wrong?
Lu Yan slowly exhaled, "Check the surveillance at the intersection."
"Already got someone checking, I came over to see Song Nuan."
"Brother-in-law." Song Nuan heard Tang Si mention her and smiled: "I’m fine."
"Where’s my sister?"
Tang Si: "She’ll be here soon."
When Song Nuan was caught, he also protected Song Yi, creating a fake trail of her movements. Just when those people were about to catch on, they suddenly backed off.
Lu Yan patted Tang Si’s shoulder, "Come over here, there’s something I want to say to you."
Tang Si looked at his serious face, raised his eyebrow slightly, and tilted his head: "Over there, let’s go."
The two walked to a less crowded spot and stopped, with their backs to Song Nuan.
"Spill it." Tang Si said, "What trouble did you run into?"
"You’re older than me and more experienced." Lu Yan said, "And you’ve never found a girlfriend, during this time, have you ever seen a woman and had... a physical reaction?"
Tang Si, being a policeman and often undercover, has faced many attractions, Lu Yan knew how thrilling it could be, with all sorts of temptations.
Things were almost at a tipping point.
Tang Si raised his eyebrow at this, suddenly smirking wickedly: "What? You can’t control your response to which lady?"
Lu Yan: "Answer my question first."
Tang Si: "No."
"Really no?"
Tang Si: "Really no."
He chuckled, "Even in dreams, there’s no one I’m interested in."
Some things are just natural human reactions. But whether there’s a particular object is another matter.
Tang Si never entertained those thoughts, he genuinely didn’t have the time or the heart for it.
But the expected reactions always occur.
"What about with Song Yi?"
Tang Si tilted his head, smirking roguishly: "Only with her."
"Every time I see her, I feel it."
"It started right from the first time I saw her, she just intrigued me too much."
Lu Yan: "And then you went beast mode?"
Tang Si thought for a moment and replied, "Actually, no."
Just acted like a rogue for a bit.
"Why suddenly ask this?" Tang Si squinted, very perceptive, "Come on, who are you interested in?"
Lu Yan: "..."
"I don’t even know if this feeling is it."
This is actually quite complicated to explain.
