Heartthrob, Your Image is Crumbling!

Chapter 233: Mutual Fulfillment

Zhou Yuwen was in the prime of his youth, full of energy, and after chatting with Qu Jing—this playful little stray cat—for so long, he couldn’t help but feel his emotions stir.  At first, Qu Jing didn’t understand what was going on, but when she realized, her body softened even more, leaving her entirely without strength. Her face flushed as she leaned shyly against Zhou Yuwen’s chest.  

“What should I do with you, Qu Jing?” Zhou Yuwen said. “Even though you say these things, I can’t really take advantage of you, can I? You haven’t had a boyfriend before, right?”  

Blushing, Qu Jing nodded. “No, I haven’t.”  

“Then I definitely can’t do anything to you. I don’t want you to regret anything later. I can’t let your impulsiveness lead to something you’ll regret for the rest of your life.”  

“I won’t regret it!” Qu Jing said firmly before Zhou Yuwen could finish.  

Zhou Yuwen still shook his head. “Think it over for a few days, okay?”  

“But... aren’t you uncomfortable like this?” Qu Jing asked worriedly, trying to shift her position.  

“Don’t move. Just stay like this,” Zhou Yuwen said, adjusting her long legs to rest on him more comfortably.  

Not entirely understanding, Qu Jing obediently remained still, letting Zhou Yuwen position her as he liked. Her heart raced, her imagination running wild as she recalled scenes from movies she’d seen.  

She hoped Zhou Yuwen would claim her, but he seemed determined to take things slowly. “Let’s just stay close like this for now,” he said.  

It wasn’t that Zhou Yuwen was being overly cautious—he simply wanted to see how things played out. Qu Jing’s emotional state was still unstable, and Zhou Yuwen, with the mind of a 30-year-old man in the body of a young adult, had developed a peculiar habit since his rebirth: he enjoyed holding young women while they slept.  

There was something delightful about the youthful, soft energy of 18- or 19-year-old girls. Holding them close, feeling their warmth, was a pleasure in itself.  

As Zhou Yuwen gently caressed Qu Jing’s cheek, he smiled and said, “When I first met you, I thought you were quite feisty, like a little firecracker. I didn’t expect you to be so obedient.”  

“I mean, you’re even older than me by two years,” he added teasingly. “Technically, I should be calling you ‘Sister,’ but look at you—where’s your ‘big sister’ demeanor?”  

Qu Jing hid her face against Zhou Yuwen’s chest, embarrassed by his teasing.  

Zhou Yuwen chuckled, pinching her cheek. “If you want me to treat you like a pet, shouldn’t you call me something other than Zhou Yuwen all the time? Isn’t that a little improper?”  

“What... what should I call you?” Qu Jing asked, blinking her wide eyes.  

“What do you want to call me?” Zhou Yuwen asked, amused.  

Qu Jing hesitated before stammering, “M-Master...”  

“Call me ‘Brother,’” Zhou Yuwen interrupted with a smirk.  

“Huh? But you’re younger than me...”  

“So what if I’m younger? Can’t I still be your brother?”  

Zhou Yuwen loved making older girls call him “Brother.” It was even more satisfying than being called “Daddy.”  

Qu Jing turned crimson, her face glowing with embarrassment.  

“What’s the matter?” Zhou Yuwen teased. “Don’t want to call me that?”  

“N-No, that’s not it...” Qu Jing stammered.  

“Then say it. Let me hear it,” Zhou Yuwen encouraged.  

Qu Jing slowly raised her head, opened her mouth, and whispered hesitantly, “Bro...”  

“Hmm?”  

“Brother...” she finally said, but her embarrassment got the better of her, and she quickly buried her face in Zhou Yuwen’s chest.  

“What are you getting shy for? Aren’t you older than me by two years? Why are you hiding in my arms?” Zhou Yuwen laughed.  

“Stop teasing me...” Qu Jing murmured, her ears turning bright red.  

Zhou Yuwen couldn’t help but laugh. “Wow, you’ve even started saying I’m annoying now?”  

“That’s not what I meant...” Qu Jing twisted her body slightly, pouting in protest.  

Zhou Yuwen’s playful teasing left her both flustered and bashful, and her submissive demeanor only added to her charm.  

Throughout their exchange, Zhou Yuwen kept his leg pressed lightly against Qu Jing’s. Her subtle movements—sometimes leaning into him, sometimes pulling away—added a layer of playful tension.  

“Doesn’t this make you uncomfortable?” Qu Jing asked softly.  

“I’m fine,” Zhou Yuwen replied casually.  

Qu Jing bit her lip and said firmly, “I won’t regret it.”  

“Take a few more days to think about it,” Zhou Yuwen said, wanting her to be certain.  

But Qu Jing couldn’t bear seeing him uncomfortable and was touched by his consideration for her. After a moment’s hesitation, she leaned forward, her soft lips brushing against his ear.  

“There’s a way to make you feel better,” she whispered, her voice trembling with both shyness and excitement.  

“What way?” Zhou Yuwen asked, raising an eyebrow.  

Qu Jing smiled mischievously and suddenly pounced on him, straddling him on the sofa. The blanket covering them slipped to the floor.  

The pale pink shirt she wore looked unexpectedly alluring on her, slightly unbuttoned to reveal her smooth shoulders and slender legs. With her tousled morning hair and unintentional disheveledness, she looked like a seductive kitten.  

“What are you planning to do now?” Zhou Yuwen asked, amused.  

Qu Jing leaned close, her head resting against his. “This little kitten is going to help her master relax.”   Get full chapters from novèlfire.net

She started kissing Zhou Yuwen’s ear, her warm breath grazing his skin, leaving him momentarily speechless.  

Qu Jing’s boldness surprised him, but it also amused him. As her lips trailed from his ear to his cheek and then down to his neck, Zhou Yuwen’s thoughts began to blur, replaced by a growing fondness for this little stray cat.  

In that moment, both were entirely consumed by each other.  

As autumn deepened, the chaos that had engulfed Zhou Yuwen’s life gradually subsided. The heated discussions on the school forum about Tao Tian and Zhou Yuwen soon gave way to mundane conversations about daily life—what to wear, where to eat, and so on.  

For Zhou Yuwen, the lessons learned from the incident with Tao Tian shaped his approach moving forward. Whether it was business, relationships, or life itself, he resolved to take control and set boundaries.  

Qu Jing, meanwhile, found herself increasingly drawn to Zhou Yuwen, her feelings for him growing stronger with each passing day. For her, this autumn marked the beginning of a new chapter—a season of longing, growth, and quiet fulfillment by his side.
