He tricked the female lead into becoming his boyfriend, but then went on to criticize the male lead.

Even though it was nighttime, there were quite a few couples walking hand in hand, all lovey-dovey and affectionate.

Sang Jiuning had also secretly observed several couples behind the tree, whispering sweet nothings and kissing, which made her cheeks burn even hotter.

Indeed, before she transmigrated into the book, she spent all her time in the art studio, and this was the first time she had ever seen such a view.

Wen Zhaoci naturally saw it too. He tightened his grip on Sang Jiuning's arm slightly, pulling her closer to his side, subtly avoiding the tree, and said in a low voice, "Don't look around."

Sang Jiuning was stunned for a moment, and was about to retort that she hadn't looked at it specifically when he gently lifted her chin. The warm touch brushed against the corner of her lips, and the next moment, a kiss with a faint smell of rice landed on her lips.

Sang Jiuning's eyes widened instantly, and she forgot to breathe, her whole body stiffening in his arms. Wen Zhaoci released her, his fingertips lightly brushing against her reddened lips, and chuckled softly as he asked, "Looking at me is worse than looking at others, hmm?"

Sang Jiuning clutched his clothes, and after a long while, she managed to utter, "You're being a pervert again," her voice soft and lacking any force.

She felt like she was being stared at like a monkey, even though this was on a tree-lined path inside the school, not behind a tree.

Seeing Sang Jiuning's cute and shy appearance, Wen Zhaoci laughed even harder, and gently kissed the top of her head again: "I only act like a hooligan with my girlfriend."

When they arrived at the dormitory building, Sang Jiuning tried to break free from Wen Zhaoci, but Wen Zhaoci wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close, so that they were face to face.

Wen Zhaoci coaxed softly, "Baby, give me another kiss."

"No... um..."

Sang Jiuning's words of refusal were blocked.

When she opened her eyes again, her back was already pressed against the rough camphor tree trunk. Wen Zhaoci was using his right hand, which was holding the cake bag, to support himself against the trunk, while his other hand was wrapped around her in his arms. His breath carried his unique, cool, grassy scent, enveloping her completely.

This time he moved more gently, his warm tongue lightly touching her lips. Sang Jiuning trembled involuntarily, her whole body going limp in his arms, her hands unconsciously gripping the fabric of his back, even her fingertips were warm.

Wen Zhaoci's eyes were dark, and he pinched Sang Jiuning's slender waist with his left hand.

Sang Jiuning let out a muffled groan, her whole body going limp and almost hanging on him. Her brain was severely oxygen-deprived, and she was completely stunned by the kiss.

After what seemed like an eternity, Wen Zhaoci finally released her, gently stroking her red and swollen lips with his thumb. Seeing her dazed and half-closed eyes, he lowered his head and nuzzled her hair before finally letting go of her waist.

He handed her the cake, pinched her burning cheek, and whispered, "Go upstairs, go back and get some rest."

Sang Jiuning lowered her head and hummed in agreement, then staggered into the dormitory building.

Wen Zhaoci didn't withdraw his deep gaze until she could no longer see her back, and touched the corner of his lips.

really.

She'll get used to it after a few more kisses.

When Sang Jiuning returned to the dormitory, she shared the cake with the other three roommates. Tang Tongtong, being a little foodie, took the cake and started eating. The cake completely silenced her gossipy mouth, and no one asked her about her relationship with Wen Zhaoci. However, her eyes would occasionally sweep towards her lips, and she kept winking and making faces.

While eating cake, Qin Ying suppressed a laugh and said, "Ningning, your lipstick is all smudged."

Sang Jiuning: ...Are there any holes in the dormitory? She wanted to crawl through one.

However, Su Qingyan took the cake but didn't eat a single bite.

Tang Tongtong couldn't help but ask, "Yan Yan, why aren't you eating? This cake tastes amazing!"

Su Qingyan tightened her grip on the cake box, forced a smile, and pushed it onto the table, saying, "I'm on a sugar control diet lately, so I can't eat anything sweet. You guys can have it."

Tang Tongtong didn't notice anything amiss. She finished her portion in a few bites and then came over to chatter about the fun things that happened in her elective class that afternoon, letting bygones be bygones.

Sang Jiuning was still dizzy. After washing up, she lay in bed, thinking about all sorts of things.

She was kissed by Wen Zhaoci for quite a while today.

Things have developed in a way that has exceeded expectations.

The idea of ​​handling a breakup calmly seems to have lost all credibility in the face of today's passionate kiss.

She touched her still burning lips, her mind filled with the refreshing scent of grass and trees emanating from him, and the warm touch of his kisses. She tossed and turned for a long time, unable to fall asleep. Her phone screen lit up and dimmed repeatedly, until finally she couldn't resist opening her chat with Wen Zhaoci.

After repeatedly deleting and editing, a last shred of reason pulled me back to my senses.

It’s over.

My current mood is like a glass of sparkling water that's been shaken until it's full of bubbles, with bubbles constantly rising, which is incredibly annoying.

❀

Wen Zhaoci, after seeing Sang Jiuning back to her dormitory, went to the Nightclub.

In the spacious private room, surrounded by swirling smoke, sat several childhood friends waiting. As he pushed the door open and entered, Jiang Shangyu whistled and pushed his glass towards him. "Hey, you've really changed your ways. You came out again this time."

Gu Yanshi noticed that Wen Zhaoci's lips had been turned up ever since he entered the private room. He pulled Wen Zhaoci over and made him sit next to him. "Something's not right. Your lips are practically pointing to the sky. What's the good news? Share it with us guys."

Wen Zhaoci picked up her wine glass and took a sip. The touch of her fingertips still lingered on Sang Jiuning's soft lips, and her waist was so supple. She smiled and didn't deny it, "Yes, we kissed."

"Holy shit!"

Holy crap!

"Holy shit!"

"Holy crap!"

Four identical words rang out simultaneously in the private room.

Gu Yanshi choked on his drink, coughing and shouting while holding a tissue, "Holy crap??? No way, no way! Ci-ge, are you serious?! You, this eternal iceberg, have actually come to your senses?! Dating is one thing, but kissing right away? This is ridiculously fast! Tell me, how does it feel? Doesn't it feel like your heart is pounding and the atmosphere is off the charts?"

Jiang Shangyu: "Oh my god! Is this for real, Ci-ge?! The guy who usually finds it troublesome to even talk to a girl for more than a couple of minutes, actually kissed her? He was such a secret! Tell us the details, when and where? We didn't hear a thing!"

Chi Nanli: "Huh?...What? You kissed? Holy crap?? Brother Ci, you actually have a day like this...I'm totally stunned."

Zhao Muze flicked his cigarette ash, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Tsk, as expected, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Now that you've established a relationship, it's normal to have progressed to this point. But I didn't expect you to bring it up yourself. It seems you really like this girl."

Wen Zhaoci said casually, "The dating guide on that Douyin account that you recommended is pretty good."
