Returning to university, starting with confessing to his ex-wife, his counselor.

She couldn't help but shudder.

Her attention returned to her body, and the warmth unique to men radiated from her skin, causing Xiao Jiayu's focus to broaden. She continued clicking the mouse, but her movements became stiff and rigid.

The heat transfer warmed the skin and also stirred the girl's emotions.

As the boy's fingers began to gently caress her, an indescribable sensation welled up on her tongue.

It felt like when I was a kid, I'd remove the button battery from a calculator and put it on my tongue—a tingling, slightly astringent sensation...

She kept swallowing, trying to get rid of the astringent feeling, but she couldn't get rid of it no matter what she did.

Not only could it not be removed, but it also accompanied by a constant pounding of the heart, spreading throughout the entire body.

[Waaaaah, he didn't mean to hit me, he's...he's...a bad guy!!!]

In an instant, a blush spread from the girl's ears to her cheeks.

The little girl was no longer tough; she became soft, resting her arms on the table with her burning head on them.

After a long pause, he finally spoke in a muffled, pitiful voice.

"You...you stop touching me, you...can you watch your online class for a bit?"

"Stop talking so much!!" Liang Chao frowned, indicating that it didn't affect his online classes at all!

Xiao Jiayu: "ó﹏ò｡"

Five minutes later.

Xiao Jiayu's ears were burning hot. He lowered his head and tapped the hand on his leg with his finger.

"I...I need to...go to the restroom..."

A voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz rang out. Liang Chao glanced at it, then turned her head away, not daring to look at her best friend, and said "Oh."

"oh....."

The large hand withdrew, and the little girl got up limply, like a girl in a kimono in a children's drama, head down, taking small steps toward the door.

Halfway through, she suddenly turned back and took out a pack of Heart-to-Heart tissues from her small bag.

Looking up, Xiao Jiayu noticed someone was still watching online classes, and a flash of joy crossed her eyes as she raised her little fist high.

boom--

Holy crap!!

Suddenly struck on the back, Liang Chao cried out in surprise.

By the time they realized what was happening, the "culprit" had already run to the entrance of the study room.

With her small hands outstretched on either side of her slender waist, she slid away swiftly!

Seeing this, Liang Chao rubbed his fingers together and couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

After a week of being reborn and holding back, I've finally gotten some real flesh.

He's not a complete idiot; how could he not see that his best friend likes him! For this kind of silly girl who won't run away even when bullied, he naturally... will bully her mercilessly!

After all, he said from the beginning that he was the master, and master = birth!

Ten minutes later.

Xiao Jiayu appeared furtively at the entrance of the study room, tilting his head and secretly sizing up Liang Chao.

Seeing that the latter's face was gentle and her attention was entirely on the online class, showing no signs of anger, she slowly moved back to her seat and said cautiously.

"Liang Dynasty".

"Um?"

Aren't you angry?

"I'm not a balloon, where would I get all that air?"

Liang Chao spoke in a detached tone, without raising his head, appearing quite aloof.

Seeing this, the little girl's eyes crinkled into crescents, and she grinned foolishly.

Hehe~

Liang Chao also laughed, but to maintain his aloof demeanor, he laughed very discreetly.

He glanced at his best friend and saw that she was still grinning foolishly, and a plan came to his mind.

It's easy to imagine that her best friend was already on guard this time. She figured that if he touched her for even a second or two, he would face inhumane retaliation, such as being pinched by her fingernails or having his hand poked by a pen.

But then again, what does a little pain matter as long as you can touch my leg?

Liang Chao pondered to himself, then swiftly reached out his large hand and precisely covered her fair and tender little legs.

1s, 2s, 3s...

Tony Leung's heart was in his throat. He silently timed it, thinking to himself that 3 seconds was a good deal, 5 seconds was a huge profit, and he would walk away to the underworld with a smile, and be a Lolita fan again in his next life!

But after waiting for a full half minute, the torture still didn't begin, and he was a little bewildered.

He subconsciously looked up and saw his best friend blushing, looking at him shyly.

"Liang Chao, I'll let you touch my legs, you think I'm...think I'm...mmm~"

Seeing his best friend putting on such a pretentious act, Liang Chao's pupils suddenly contracted.

Startled, he quickly withdrew his hand and covered his best friend's mouth, looking terrified.

"Hey, hey, hey~ No! No! We can't say things like that that ruin our best friend relationship!"

The girl was stunned when her confession was thwarted; she blinked her grape-like eyes blankly.

Then her little face quickly turned red, and without thinking, she bared her fangs and pounced.

"I...I'll go all out with you!!!"

Her soft, fragrant body pressed down on her, accompanied by a barrage of punches. The punches were heavy, each one making a loud thud, like drumming.

The thunder roared behind Liang Chao, but his face remained as calm as a still lake; he didn't even bother to hide.

LOL, it doesn't hurt at all!

His smile was nonchalant, and he even hoped that his best friend would hit him harder!

Otherwise, he wouldn't feel comfortable touching that leg!

......

At 10 p.m., the library closed, and it started to drizzle outside.

Under the streetlights on campus, two shadows, one short and one tall, stood two meters apart, one in front of the other.

"With such short legs, it's amazing how fast it walks!"

Looking at his short, stomping best friend ahead of him, who seemed to want to stomp the earth flat, Liang Chao was deeply shocked.

"Xiaoyu, slow down!" He shook his head and reached out to put his hand on her shoulder.

"You've got what's coming to you!"

The girl shifted her shoulder to one side, dodging the boy's outstretched hand, her small feet shuffling along, transforming her into a pig for the New Year.

Seeing this, Liang Chao felt a bit of a toothache and stopped chasing her, slowly following behind her.

Whether it was from stomping his feet until they hurt or from walking too much, Xiao Jiayu suddenly stopped.

"Kuku~ Ugh~ You...you're bullying me!! I'm never going to be friends with you again, sob sob~"

A light drizzle was falling from the night sky. Xiao Jiayu turned around under the streetlight, and the rain streaks slanted across her reddened eyes, drawing silvery lines under the streetlight.

When Liang Chao met those eyes, a wave of guilt washed over him.

Damn, being a master isn't easy!

"I was wrong!"

Liang Chao quickly went up to Xiao Jiayu, used his textbook to shield her from the falling rain, and sincerely apologized.

Although he didn't know what he did wrong, he should apologize!

Seeing this, Xiao Jiayu's expression softened slightly. She looked up, gazed into the boy's eyes, and spoke.

"Then let me ask you!"

The moment the four-word mantra was uttered, Liang Zhi's vigilance immediately rose.

"Do you like it... mmm~"

Upon hearing this, Liang Chao's expression changed.

He didn't give her a chance to unleash her ultimate move, and directly hugged her, wrapping his left arm around the girl's slender waist and pressing down on the back of her head with his right hand, saying sullenly.

"Haha...We're best friends, why ask such trivial questions? Don't be so formal! Don't be so formal, honey!"

Seeing that the latter was still struggling, Liang Chao felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly unleashed his ultimate move.

"Take a day off next Monday, I'll take you out... um~ to collect a prize!"

Upon hearing this, the little girl indeed stopped making a fuss and her attention was drawn to the story.

"To receive an award?"

She rested her chin on the boy's chest, looked up, and blinked her big, watery eyes.

Seeing this, Liang Chao straightened his expression and quickly nodded.

"Yes! Claim your prize! Claim the grand prize!"
