"Ah?" Mu Bai looked awkward.

"You're an adult now, so I don't need to intentionally restrain you," Lin Chuan said with a smile. "Before you do anything, please think about Sichuan University Group, okay?"

"I..." Mu Bai thought for a long time and also hesitated for a long time. Finally, she slowly took out her phone and handed it to Lin Chuan, saying, "This is the phone they've always wanted, which recorded the entire process of them refining gutter oil. Now I'm giving it to you. You can do whatever you want, I won't interfere."

"Hehe..." Lin Chuan chuckled, opened the phone, and deleted all the videos inside. Finally, he tossed the phone into a fountain pool.

"You!" Mu Bai was stunned. She quickly said, "Lin Chuan, this is the video I risked my life to shoot, you..."

"I told you, this isn't something you or your television station can change," Lin Chuan said with a smile. "Since it can't be changed, why bother doing it? Yes, this is a video you risked your life to shoot. But have you ever thought about it? Once the video is broadcasted, from then on, you might forever be living on the edge of life and death. Do you really want to spend your days in such a dangerous environment?"

"No!" Mu Bai shook her head, saying, "If it can't bring change, why did Director Zhao approve this project?"

"Director Zhao?" Lin Chuan sneered, "Director Zhao is only trying to attract viewership. Once it's broadcasted, the TV station's ratings will definitely skyrocket. By then, he as the director will have political achievements, but it's you ground-level reporters who might suffer, especially you!"

Sss...

Mu Bai suddenly realized that all of this was just Director Zhao's way to boost ratings. She thought he genuinely wanted to do something for the people. Her feelings deceived her once again. Feeling a bit helpless, Mu Bai said, "Maybe you're right."

"Alright, let's drive," Lin Chuan said.

Mu Bai immediately drove away from the street.

Fulin Garden.

A community in the eastern district, with good greenery, an old community over ten years old, the house constructions reflecting the design style from more than ten years ago. The trees inside had grown into towering giants, offering widespread shade.

After resigning from the TV station, Mu Bai rented a place here to live. Before, she lived in the welfare housing provided by the TV station. Now that she's resigned, she definitely needed to vacate the place. This house naturally couldn't be compared to the TV station's welfare housing.

The TV station's house was a one-bedroom with living room, kitchen, and bathroom—small but fully equipped. Moreover, the layout was nice, and the interior had a distinctive and somewhat bohemian style.

But this neighborhood seemed a bit dated, with a design style from the late 1990s. The house structure was also old-fashioned. Square layouts, lacking any artful balconies or bay windows...

A two-bedroom with living room rented for only a thousand. In Jiangbei City, it was relatively cheap.

When she first moved in, it was covered in dust. So dusty. Awfully dirty. Mu Bai cleaned for several days and even hired someone to put up wallpaper, replace the toilet, and redo the bathroom. It cost her a few thousand, but after renovation, the house was nice. At least, it was pleasing to the eye.

She replaced all the lights with artful ones.

"When did you move here?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Where else would I stay?" Mu Bai retorted.

"Weren't you staying at the school?" Lin Chuan asked.

"That was temporary for work convenience!" Mu Bai took off her coat and hung it on the rack by the door. She smiled, "I've rented this place long ago. Never changed. Now that the school situation has stabilized, I've moved back here."

Once she took off her coat, Mu Bai's graceful figure was immediately apparent. The black undershirt accentuated her slender waist, quite attractive.

"So that's how it is." Lin Chuan curiously explored the house.

The living room had the landlord's fabric sofa, looking about seventy percent new. Mu Bai covered it with a white slipcover, making it stylish and grand. Behind it was a divider and a wine cabinet. The wine cabinet displayed some art pieces and several bottles of red wine.

"Sit for a while; I'm going to change clothes!" Mu Bai entered the bedroom.

Curious, Lin Chuan opened another bedroom door. The room wasn't big, probably about ten square meters, with a small wooden bed. The window faced the street. Mu Bai used this room for storage, and it seemed no one had stayed in it.

The kitchen was spotless, suggesting no cooking had been done. The bathroom and toilet looked new, recently refurbished.

"What would you like to drink?" Mu Bai emerged from the room, now dressed in pajamas.

Loose pajamas, revealing yet concealing. The white garment, with black underwear visible underneath, immediately highlighted the color contrast. Hidden within the loose pajamas were voluptuous curves.

Lin Chuan couldn't take his eyes off her. He even began to doubt whether he had actually had any physical encounter with Mu Bai last time, as he had no memory of her body.

"What are you looking at?" Mu Bai frowned.

"I..." Lin Chuan chuckled, "I'm looking at you. You're so beautiful; aren't you meant to be admired?"

"You!" Mu Bai glared at Lin Chuan, saying, "Stop looking, you perv."

"Haha..." Lin Chuan laughed heartily, "Yes, I'm a perv. Otherwise, how did I manage to...last time?"

"You!" Mu Bai's face turned red. She gritted her teeth, "The past is the past. Don't mention it again, or else... or else I..."

"What do you want to do?" Lin Chuan asked with a smile, "Planning to get revenge on me? Planning to turn the tables and ** me?!"

"Screw you!" Mu Bai suddenly burst into laughter, "You wish."

After speaking, Mu Bai started making coffee.

Mu Bai drank instant coffee. Although she was interested in brewing coffee beans, she usually worked so much that she didn't have time to do those things. She could only buy instant coffee to satisfy her interest.

Lin Chuan glanced at the cup, "Aren't you planning to sleep?"

"Why not sleep?" Mu Bai asked.

"Don't you know coffee keeps you awake?" Lin Chuan replied, taking a sip, "Too much sugar."

"This is instant coffee, not something I brewed," Mu Bai snorted softly, "The sugar in this is mixed by the manufacturer."

After drinking half a cup of coffee.

Lin Chuan looked at Mu Bai, who was beside him, and asked, "Mu Bai, why don't you get a boyfriend?"

"None of your business." Mu Bai gave Lin Chuan a disgruntled look, "What does it matter to you if I get a boyfriend or not? It's not like I'm going to date you!"

Lin Chuan grinned, "But you're already my woman."

"Nonsense." Mu Bai snorted lightly.

Lin Chuan moved closer, and Mu Bai quickly scooted away in fright. She hurriedly asked, "What... what are you trying to do?"

"Hehe..." Lin Chuan chuckled, "Nothing, just wanted to tell you, I was your first."

"So what?" Mu Bai looked at Lin Chuan apprehensively.

Mu Bai was already backed into the corner of the sofa, nearly collapsing, with Lin Chuan next to her. He got so close that Mu Bai found herself almost lying down. Yet, Lin Chuan kept closing in, his face very near hers.

"So, should I be responsible for you?" Lin Chuan asked.

"No! I don't need you to be responsible!" Mu Bai quickly shook her head, "I... I really don't need it, and I won't hold you accountable for it, so, you... don't be like this!"

Shh...

Lin Chuan hushed, "Don't make noise."

Mu Bai's beautiful eyes stared at Lin Chuan, afraid he might do something inappropriate.

Suddenly, Lin Chuan kissed Mu Bai's red lips.

"Mmm..." Mu Bai hurriedly pushed Lin Chuan away.

Kissing was just the prelude.

Mu Bai felt as if her body was starting to react. However, Lin Chuan's greed led him to let his hands wander. He reached out and unbuttoned Mu Bai's pajama top, then reached for her chest.

"No... don't." Mu Bai hurriedly shouted.

She yelled "no," but did not physically resist at all. This encouraged Lin Chuan to go further.

Rip...

The clothes were immediately torn open and pulled aside.

A perfect upper body was instantly exposed to Lin Chuan, especially the proudly high peaks wrapped in black underwear, revealing a deep cleavage. It contained the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Lin Chuan immediately unclasped the bra, removing it.

"No!" Mu Bai hurriedly covered her chest.

But Lin Chuan showed a trace of a smile, "You've already shown me before, why so tense?"

"Lin Chuan, no... don't," Mu Bai pleaded nearly piteously, "I... I don't want to do this with you."

"The arrow is on the string, it has to be released," Lin Chuan chuckled, "We're this far along, and you say you don't want to. Why didn't you say so when you came in?"

"I just wanted to thank you," Mu Bai awkwardly admitted, "Who told you to act so beastly?"
