Psst! We're moving!
When the lips touched the skin.
Chi Zhiyu’s view gradually cleared.
She saw Xie Ye’s profile appear in her line of sight.
High nose bridge, pale and delicate skin, her gaze unconsciously lifted.
The youth’s eyelids were lowered, and at such a close distance, she could see the faint brown mole at the end. His eyelashes weren’t very long but extremely thick, each strand distinct like crow feathers, slightly drooping to the outer corner of his eyes, reflecting her face in his deep black pupils.
Chi Zhiyu was startled, her gaze quickly swept down, and she saw his faintly colored thin lips.
Close at hand.
So close that if she just slightly raised her head, she could kiss them.
Suddenly.
At the same moment, Chi Zhiyu realized where her lips were touching, her eyes widened slightly, instantly awakening.
All her senses rapidly withdrew within those few seconds of contact.
Chi Zhiyu averted her gaze, immediately stepping back. The next second, she noticed that Xie Ye seemed to have come to his senses as well, then straightened his posture.
Their breathing separated, creating distance.
The room was quiet, with faint sounds of the computer running.
Chi Zhiyu stood holding her phone, feeling strangely reluctant to look at him, her gaze wandering around. She quickly glanced down at her phone and asked in a forced natural voice, “Why didn’t you say anything standing behind me?”
No one answered.
Chi Zhiyu looked up at him, suddenly meeting his slightly hoarse gaze.
Her body stiffened slightly, and Chi Zhiyu quickly averted her eyes, casually blurting out, “It’s not my fault; you were the one standing behind me without saying anything.”
As her words fell, there was an inexplicable feeling of “this place has no silver, three hundred taels.”
Sure enough, the next moment.
Xie Ye looked up at her, his voice low and hoarse, “What did I say to you?”
Chi Zhiyu cleared her throat, her expression calm as she said, “I’m afraid you’ll slander me, so I’m explaining.”
“Slander?” Xie Ye leaned against the wall, staring at her expression, slowly opening his mouth, “Isn’t what just happened a fact?”
“...”
Chi Zhiyu immediately turned around and walked into the room.
Xie Ye lowered his eyes.
He saw her jade-like nape, her slender figure.
Unconsciously, the scene from just now reappeared in his mind.
Those cold eyebrows and eyes directly entered his pupils, her long, curled eyelashes trembling slightly, seemingly brushing against his cheek, or subtly, teasing the tip of his heart.
A slight itch.
But on the right side of his lips, her cool, dry lips touched that patch of skin, an undeniable soft touch, as if leaving her mark, faintly burning, scorching.
And then.
Slowly stealing away his soul.
Not a trace left.
Xie Ye stayed behind, his palm slightly curled, lowering his gaze to suppress the emotions in his eyes, gradually tightening it by his side, moving forward to follow her.
Chi Zhiyu sat on the sofa nearby, casually placing her homework on the coffee table, “I came to talk to you about this matter.”
“Oh.” Xie Ye casually sat beside her, reaching over her to pour water, “I also have something to tell you.”
His body slightly lowered to pick up the cup; Chi Zhiyu imperceptibly leaned back a little, lightly coughed, “What is it?”
“You.” Xie Ye tilted his head, raising his eyes to state the fact: “Just now, you took advantage of me.”
“...”
“Kissed me.”
“...”
Chi Zhiyu, who had intended to gloss over and shift the topic, didn’t expect him to bring it up again, and even say it so bluntly!!!
However, inexplicably, Chi Zhiyu’s gaze involuntarily drifted toward his jawline. Upon seeing his lips, other thoughts suddenly popped into her mind.
The next moment, Xie Ye caught her gaze and raised an eyebrow, “What are you looking at?”
“...” Chi Zhiyu hastily averted her eyes, realizing later that her face inexplicably felt a bit hot.
There was a sense of embarrassment akin to being caught red-handed, along with belated shame.
Not only for her actions but also for the fleeting thought she had just now—she felt ashamed.
Because what she was thinking was—
If only she had known.
She would have aimed higher.
This thought popping up made her mind explode momentarily.
Chi Zhiyu clenched her palms, enduring it, maintaining a calm demeanor to defend herself: “You misunderstood. Actually, I didn’t kiss you just now; I just accidentally brushed against you when I turned my head.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Ye stared at her intently.
Chi Zhiyu met his gaze calmly, waiting for a few seconds, and gradually couldn’t hold up anymore.
Xie Ye suddenly smirked, as if laughing, “Can you come up with a more plausible lie?”
“...”
Chi Zhiyu maintained her composure: “Really, why would I lie to you?”
“What do you want,” Xie Ye glanced at her, drawling, “Do I need to spell it out for you?”
“...” Chi Zhiyu pointed at him, “I don’t even know what I want, what are you wildly imagining over here?”
“Oh.” Xie Ye tilted his head, seriously saying, “I’m thinking about when you will make a move on me again.”
“...”
Chi Zhiyu was flustered and couldn’t help but curse him, “Can you show some shame?”
Xie Ye raised an eyebrow, “What did you say?”
“Never mind.” Chi Zhiyu began to act coy, “I said I brushed against you, believe it or not.”
Xie Ye tugged at his lips.
“Oh.”
That meant disbelief.
“...”
Chi Zhiyu decided to explain calmly, “Alright, look, accidents happen all the time, and they can’t be avoided beforehand. At most, I’ll let you kiss me back, how about that?”
This statement was originally offhand, and she expected Xie Ye to call her delusional. Unexpectedly, he slowly nodded and said, “Alright.”
“?” Chi Zhiyu choked, “What?”
Xie Ye scrutinized her: “Didn’t you say kiss back.”
Chi Zhiyu paused, carefully considering before speaking: “Are you sure?”
“How?” Xie Ye’s tone was leisurely, directly exposing the truth, “Did you intentionally deceive me and joke around?”
“Not that meaning.” Chi Zhiyu pondered.
“If you want to kiss, I naturally can’t stop you, after all,” Chi Zhiyu looked at him, “You’re the victim.”
“...” Xie Ye hummed, “Indeed, you’ve taken all the advantages, I can’t just give them to you for free.”
Chi Zhiyu paused. This statement felt a bit off, but she didn’t care and looked at him, “Then go ahead and kiss me, I’ll endure it.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Ye glanced at her, “You endure it?”
“Otherwise?” Chi Zhiyu blinked, “Anyway, it’s just kissing the chin, hurry up.”
She tried to say this in a very nonchalant tone, but the awkwardness only increased upon utterance. With her urging, it seemed particularly ambiguous and...
Eager?
“...”
Xie Ye stared at her intently for a while, then suddenly chuckled, “You’re quite greedy.”
“...?”
Chi Zhiyu knew something was wrong as soon as she heard this.
Sure enough, the next second.
Xie Ye leaned back on the sofa, slightly turning his head to look at her, then slowly and deliberately said, “Once wasn’t enough for you, and now you want me to take the initiative to kiss you. Pretty good idea.”
“But,” Xie Ye glanced at her, “I won’t satisfy you.”
“...”
Chi Zhiyu held her breath for a long time, then smiled, “Then thank you very much indeed.”
After answering, Chi Zhiyu casually countered, “So you’re not going to kiss me, right?”
“...” Xie Ye looked at her reaction, his tone seemingly a bit displeased, “Say that again.”
“What again.” Chi Zhiyu refused, “Once this village passes, there won’t be another shop.”
Xie Ye: “Shop?”
Chi Zhiyu: “No, slip of the tongue.”
Xie Ye looked at her without speaking.
“...”
This situation inexplicably felt never-ending.
Afraid she would lose first, Chi Zhiyu immediately spoke, “I understand.”
She nodded, “Tell me whenever you feel like talking about it again, and I’ll decide whether to fulfill it based on my mood.”
After saying that, without waiting for his agreement or disagreement, she directly changed the topic, tapping on the physics homework on the coffee table, “This is what I want you to teach me.”
Xie Ye could naturally guess her little trick, so he didn’t press further, following her lead and asking, “Teach what?”
Seeing that he wasn’t continuing the topic of kissing or not, Chi Zhiyu immediately sighed in relief, relaxing and casually saying, “Can’t you see the two words ‘physics’?”
Xie Ye: “So?”
“So,” Chi Zhiyu blinked, “I came to ask you to teach me physics.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Ye seemed to understand, “Oh,” and asked, “Why ask me?”
“?” Chi Zhiyu felt this person might not understand human speech, “Because your physics is the best, Chen Fuqing’s precious gem, alright?”
Xie Ye looked at her, “Su Le?”
“Ah?” Chi Zhiyu blinked, “What does Su Le have to do with this? I didn’t ask him to teach me.”
Perhaps a word in her sentence pleased him, Xie Ye lazily “Mm”-ed.
Upon hearing this, Chi Zhiyu assumed he agreed and naturally asked, “So you’ll teach me, right?”
“Mm,” Xie Ye picked up the water glass and casually said, “No teaching.”
Chi Zhiyu: “???” Chi Zhiyu: “Why?”
Xie Ye casually replied, “Waste of time.”
Previously, Chi Zhiyu had naturally sought Xie Ye’s help with physics. Initially, Xie Ye’s temper was still pretty good, thinking she had suddenly decided to seriously study physics, so he nodded and taught her.
However, every time ended with Chi Zhiyu falling asleep, or Xie Ye himself getting impatient and giving up.
Thus, Chi Zhiyu gave up afterward and stopped seeking his help.
“Not this time,” Chi Zhiyu raised her hand in guarantee, “Believe me this time, I’ll definitely study hard, I swear.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Ye raised his eyebrows, “Planning to gather five thunderbolts?”
“...”
Chi Zhiyu clicked her tongue, “This time it’s real. My mom saw my midterm results and wants to hire an extra physics tutor for me, but I don’t want that. I told her I would learn with you.”
Xie Ye lifted his eyes, “Your mom agrees?”
Hearing this counter-question, Chi Zhiyu’s expression faltered, then she naturally nodded, “Agreed.”
Xie Ye looked at her, waiting for the rest.
“But.” Chi Zhiyu smiled, “She demands that my physics scores must improve by the end-of-term mock exam.”
This was the condition.
If she wanted to study with him, there were always conditions.
Xie Ye wasn’t surprised.
What kind of person Bai Li was, even if he didn’t investigate, through Chi Zhiyu, he could indirectly feel her perversion and madness.
However, Chi Zhiyu didn’t want him to meet Bai Li, though she hadn’t explicitly mentioned it.
But he could tell.
She didn’t want it.
She didn’t want Bai Li to meet him.
“Just this?” Xie Ye’s tone was neutral.
“What do you mean ‘just this’?” Chi Zhiyu frowned, muttering, “This is hard for me, okay?”
If it weren’t for Bai Li miraculously agreeing to let Xie Ye teach her, she wouldn’t have accepted this ridiculous requirement.
Xie Ye laughed, “Afraid?”
Chi Zhiyu sighed, “Of course I’m afraid. You know how bad my physics is. If you fail to teach me well this time, what should I do?”
Maybe Bai Li would cut ties with Xie Ye, and deep down, she wouldn’t let her get close at all.
And then...
“What nonsense are you thinking?” Xie Ye tapped her head.
Chi Zhiyu looked up.
Xie Ye met her gaze, tugging his lips, “With me here, what are you afraid of?”
Chi Zhiyu looked at him, not speaking.
“If you’re still afraid, then follow me.” Xie Ye raised his hand to ruffle her head, his tone slightly lazy as if coaxing a child, “Then neither of us will fall behind.”
“Let’s pass together.”
