Chapter 31 - Lust Aftermath

Feeling the morning light hitting his face, Han Sen slowly woke up as his senses quickly took everything in. He kept his eyes closed, but still knew where he was and who he was with.

'Maybe I went overboard...' When he opened his eyes, he saw that the beautiful Miss Qin Xuan was sleeping comfortably on top of him, her naked body covered only by a thin sheet. But just by seeing that image of her, and how peacefully she slept, he decided to accept that he had stepped on the accelerator and now had to deal with the consequences.

Deciding to just lie down, admiring the sunrise and enjoying the cool breeze, he snuggled a little closer to her. His movements, which were somewhat intentional, ended up waking her up and her beautiful eyes soon opened, still confused about her surroundings.

"What-" Qin Xuan was about to stand up when she realized she was naked, and in the arms of Han Sen. Looking at that smiling face, her cheeks blushed, reaching her ears, "Kyyaa!”

"Good morning, Miss Qin Xuan. Did you sleep well?" Han Sen lifted the blanket under which she hid, once again catching sight of that naked body that was revealed to him last night.

"What did we do yesterday??" Qin Xuan was still groggy from the morning and having had too much wine, but as soon as she looked at the bloodstain on the sofa and then back at Han Sen, she said, "Don't say anything!”

"I wasn't going to-" He was about to speak when Qin Xuan flew onto him and started squeezing his cheeks in anger.

"How could you have the courage to do this!? I was a virgin! A virgin!" She tried to squeeze his cheek tightly and make him respond, but just by looking deeply into his eyes, she knew he wouldn't answer like someone guilty of a crime.

"And I was too. What point are you trying to make?" Like the shameless person he was, Han Sen ran his hands over her bare back, his hand going down to her lower parts and then coming back, caressing her entirely.

"You!!" Qin Xuan gave up arguing with him. What was done was done, and it's not like it was bad either. In fact, it was so good that she didn't even remember how long she had been conscious. Not to mention, with how good he was being now, she couldn't help but shiver down her back.

"Are you hungry?" Han Sen captured her cherry lips again, making her lose herself once more in the caresses and the kiss. It was almost as if she only complained because she should do it first.

Only after a while, when both of them realized that the morning sun was already making it hot here, they broke apart from the kiss. Qin Xuan was calmer and more peaceful, saving her thoughts for later. She couldn't enter into a relationship with someone so young, even if it wasn't forbidden. She is almost 8 years older than him, which would be a long time for anyone to accept.

Meanwhile, Han Sen only picked up some clothes that were scattered on the floor around them, and they both began to dress. After silently descending to the warehouse floor, with Han Sen supporting her for most of the way due to her inability to walk properly, he started cooking breakfast for her.

"Do not take my words as an offense." Han Sen placed the two plates on the table and sat in front of her, speaking slowly for her to understand, "We can take this slow. I am not a playboy, and you are not a girl who would sleep with anyone. But we are not fools. Differences can be complicated to resolve, and what matters is that we are comfortable.”

"You speak as if you already have experience." Qin Xuan looked at him and didn't know if this was part of his calm demeanor or if he had done it so many times that his speech became so charming.

"I've dealt with this a few times, I have five girlfriends and one is pregnant-" He withdrew his hand from the table when suddenly a knife was plunged where his hand was and looked at it, "No use of knives, please.”

"So am I the sixth?" She picked up the knife that was stuck in the table and continued to stare at him with sharp eyes.

"You are special-" He held a knife that came towards him suddenly, "I've already said, no use of knives please.”

"I WILL KILL YOU!" Qin Xuan could no longer contain the amount of emotions that were building up in her chest. On one hand, she felt so wonderful yesterday that she wanted to repeat it every single day, while on the other hand, a part of her said that Han Sen was just a cheeky boy and that she fell into his trap.

She, with an explosion of emotions, threw herself on top of him, wanting something she didn't know what it was. She didn't want to hit him because she hated when he got hurt, but she didn't want to let him go unpunished because he had to know who was the superior one in the relationship. But her movement was stopped when she was embraced by Han Sen. With tears streaming down, she hugged him too, without even knowing why she was crying.

"I've already said, we have all the time in the world. Calm down and enjoy the trip." Han Sen hugged her and didn't let go until she stopped crying. He somewhat understood that this was just part of the turbulence, and not that she regretted what happened. The familial pressure imposed on her must be enormous for a relationship to be as difficult as defusing a bomb, a tiring and stressful task.

After they finished eating, Han Sen drove the aerocar to her house, as she was tired from yesterday's activities. The legs weren't functioning properly and she felt weak all over. Eventually, she fell asleep in the passenger seat until they arrived at the house, and there he bid her farewell.

"Are you going to the Sanctuary today?" Qin Xuan grabbed his arm before he could leave.

"I intend to go on a longer hunt. About half a month." He replied calmly, observing her behavior. He knew he needed to push a little further, but also knew that she is an adult who needs to make her own decisions.

"You..." She was about to let go of his arm, but suddenly pulled him closer. Giving him a quick kiss on the lips, she gathered the courage to say what she wanted, "You need to come back soon, okay?”

"Yes, ma'am..." Han Sen smiled as he pulled her into his arms and gave her more than just a "quick kiss". Entering her house, he closed the door and carried her inside.

"Sen! Kyaa!"

"Okay, maybe I did go overboard with her..." Walking through the streets to catch the Maglev train and go home, Han Sen glanced at the skills panel and saw the latest one he acquired, having spent 5,500 EXP to level it up to the top in just one night. At least it was worth every moment.

Understanding that his relationship with Qin Xuan was simply another aspect of his life to manage, he felt no guilt. There's a stark difference between reading a story and living it. In the novel, she had always been empathetic, yet she was often overlooked and struggled to accurately judge others' actions. However, in the present, whether during their sparring sessions or their initial meeting, he couldn't deny his strong attraction towards her.

His millennial imprisonment did indeed influence him to end the night in a hotter way, but it was still not without his own impulse. He wanted it, she wanted it, and it happened. As for the things that would happen in the future, he would leave them for the future.

Looking up at the sky and seeing how blue it was, he kept his own thoughts to himself and continued walking.

"Where the heck have you been, Han Sen!?" As soon as he stepped into the house, his mother suddenly appeared from somewhere and started arguing with him.

‘Damn, I forgot about that...’ Receiving a barrage of lectures, he finally remembered that his mother still lives with him.
