Chapter 313: A Dream
"Li Chen, ah!"
The two of them made love for a long time.
When Su Xiao was exhausted and had climbed to the peak again, Li Chen also reached the critical point, pouring all his passion into the wonderful valley.
They held each other tight, kissing and enjoying the blissful moment.
After resting for a while, Li Chen carried Su Xiao to the bathroom, and they took a bath together before returning to bed.
Checking the time, it was already almost midnight.
"Teacher, why don't you stay here for the night and I'll take you back in the morning."
"Okay... alright," she hesitated before nodding.
She was always considerate, and going back to her parents at this late hour would probably lead them to overthink things.
Moreover, after becoming intimate with Li Chen today, she had fallen deeply for him and found it hard to leave his broad chest.
They tidied up the bed, and then slept together.
Li Chen lay on his side, inhaling Su Xiao's delicate fragrance, his heart thumping wildly.
Counting the chance encounter at the restaurant, his third meeting with Teacher Su Xiao after so many years ended up with them becoming intimate and sharing a bed, stirring an indescribable excitement and euphoria in him.
"Li Chen, being held by you feels so comforting, so secure. I thought I'd never have this chance in my life, and then you appeared," Su Xiao said shyly, leaning her head back.
"That's no big deal. If Teacher likes it, there'll be plenty of other chances in the future," Li Chen kissed her forehead and smiled broadly.
"Mmh, I'm going to sleep now, goodnight!"
Su Xiao curled up her body, nestling into Li Chen's embrace like a little cat.
Exhausted, and although her mind was thrilled, her body couldn't hold up anymore. She soon fell into a deep sleep and her steady breathing filled the room.
Li Chen was still wide awake, his mind filled with many thoughts. One moment he thought of his sister-in-law and Aunt Qing, then of Xu Jia, Yuan Qingying, Chen Wanqiu, and Ye Shiman. He realized, without noticing, the number of women in his life had grown.
He felt incredibly greedy, having a beautiful girlfriend that everyone envied, yet he involved himself with so many women.
Yet, most times, he couldn't help himself.
With more than a month before Han Yue returned, he remembered her words before she left. If she knew about this, she'd likely find it hard to accept.
But to let go, he didn't want to give up a single one.
Could he let go of his sister-in-law or Aunt Qing, who even rented an apartment outside so they could have a love nest?
And what about Xu Jia and Teacher Su Xiao in his arms, whose marriages were unhappy. Now that they finally found some emotional support, could he bear to hurt them again?
And so on, and so forth.
He thought for a long, long time.
Maybe he would have to deal with Han Yue first.
Though he had gotten involved with many women, he never thought anyone could replace this girl.
After more than two years together, their feelings and memories were irreplaceable.
If he could sort things out with her, many problems might be easily resolved.
That night, he had a dream.
In the dream, Han Yue, his sister-in-law, Aunt Qing, were all around him, getting along harmoniously.

Gradually, Wen Yao, Han Ling, Xu Jia, and the others joined them.
And he, like a high and mighty king, sat above all, admiring his harem of thousands, content and proud.
Suddenly, something tickled his nose.
Instinctually reaching to scratch it, he suddenly awoke.
As he opened his eyes, a beautiful, flawless face was right before him, smiling softly and radiating happiness.
"Ah!"
Su Xiao was startled.
After she woke up and saw the man beside her sleeping, she couldn't resist observing him closely.
But unexpectedly, he woke up all at once.
Just as she was about to shrink back, her graceful body was already tightly held by Li Chen.
"What was Teacher looking at?" he teased, gazing at Su Xiao's beautiful face.
"No... I wasn't looking at you, I was just about to get up..." Su Xiao's face turned red, and she reverted to her incredibly shy self.
"I didn't say a thing, Teacher just admitted it herself," Li Chen chuckled.
The dawn's early light streamed through the curtains.
The person in his arms, with her bright eyes and white teeth, was bewitching. Morning is when a man's desires peak, and who could resist that?
With a roll, Li Chen flipped on top of Su Xiao amid her exclamations.
Soon, a beautiful symphony began to play.
Like the warbling of a golden oriole, it heralded a new day.
At seven o'clock, they got dressed, went downstairs, and Su Xiao's exquisite face still flushed with the afterglow of the peak moment, utterly tempting.
After dropping her off, Li Chen drove home first.
"Xiao Chen, you left in such a hurry last night, is everything okay?" Jiang Qing asked with concern.
"Aunt Qing, it's fine, everything has been taken care of," Li Chen responded with a smile.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come, eat first."
Li Chen nodded, washed his hands, and sat down at the dining table.
As soon as he sat down, he caught his sister-in-law's reproachful look from across the table.
Her lively eyes seemed to speak, asking if he had gone out to hook up with some girl again.
In response, Li Chen could only smile helplessly. With Aunt Qing, Uncle Han, and Brother Zhenhua all present, he didn't know how to explain, so after quickly eating a few bites, he prepared to go to work.
"Li Chen, I was just about to leave too. Let me give you a ride," Shen Mengxue said as she came out of the bedroom dressed and smiling radiantly.
