Why are you always thinking about dating me?

"You said yourself that you wouldn't smoke anymore, but you still lit that last one, didn't you? That was your desire, just like what you said before. I'm not saying you broke your promise, but I want to tell you a truth: most decisions people make are made when they're emotional, and they'll regret them later. People always change; no one stays the same."

"I was wrong." Su Yuejin's voice was aggrieved, her lips slightly pouting, as if she were being coquettish.

But Lin An just quietly looked into her eyes. He didn't want to say anything more. It wasn't that he hated the smell of smoke, he just didn't like the feeling of being lied to.

"You... hit me, scold me, I already know I was wrong, Lin An." Su Yuejin's voice sounded a little tearful, because she could roughly sense what Lin An was thinking.

Lin An simply shook his head. "There's no need."

Children who make mistakes always hope to be punished so that they can feel at ease being forgiven. It's a very simple psychology. But Lin An didn't want to lay a hand on him. He was just unhappy because of this little thing.

You could be so open and honest when you said you loved me, but now you can't even resist the temptation of a cigarette.

"I have to go, it's almost eight o'clock." Lin An said softly, but Su Yuejin's two hands were tightly wrapped around his arms, and her soft breasts were pressed against his arms, not letting him leave.

Lin An glanced at her.

"What else do you want to say?"

"I really know I was wrong... I shouldn't have lit that cigarette. I will absolutely, absolutely never smoke again."

"What does this have to do with me?" Lin An shrugged, his tone casual and relaxed, but Su Yuejin felt as if he had completely withdrawn from her side in that instant.

So her tears suddenly fell.

Seeing her looking so wronged, with the light falling on her snow-white cheeks, she felt regret and grievance. But looking at Lin An's expression, she slowly let go of his hand. She knew that no matter how much she held him, she couldn't keep him.

Su Yuejin raised her hand and slapped herself hard across the face. The sound of the slap echoed in the living room, and her cheek was covered in red marks.

Then she slapped herself again, the pain making her cry even harder, but she still looked at Lin An's face, "I really know I was wrong... Lin An, Lin An."

Lin An still showed no intention of speaking. Su Yuejin's hand fell towards her face again, but this time, Lin An finally caught it.

"What's the point of you torturing yourself like this? You're the one who said you wanted to quit smoking, but you're the one who smokes, and now you're the one who wants to forgive. Su Yuejin, can't you... be normal for once?"

Su Yuejin just cried and didn't say anything.

Lin An couldn't bear to see girls cry. After all, no one can be truly heartless. He looked at Su Yuejin's trembling shoulders. Her collarbones were delicate and beautiful, especially her slender frame.

"Do you know that you get punished for making a mistake?" he suddenly said.

"I...I know!" Su Yuejin answered through gritted teeth.

"Turn around and lie down."

Su Yuejin was stunned for a few seconds, but she actually obeyed Lin An's words, turned around, and lay down on the sofa. Her white suspender dress covered her body curves. Lin An did not lift her skirt, but he was indeed very cruel, especially hitting the girl's soft and small buttocks hard.

Su Yuejin cried out in pain.

"When you say stop, call my name." Lin An said this, and Su Yuejin gritted her teeth and nodded.

The man slapped her repeatedly, causing her to grit her teeth in pain, her face contorted in agony. But he showed no sign of stopping. Whether out of fear or spite, Su Yuejin didn't call his name.

Lin An hit him ten times, very hard.

If spanking is done lightly, it's more like flirting than punishment, so he hit hard enough that a single tear from Su Yuejin's fell and soaked the sofa.

But she still didn't call his name.

Lin An stopped.

Su Yuejin slowly turned her head, her eyes red and tears falling one by one. Fortunately, she wasn't wearing makeup, but she felt she couldn't sit down anymore, as it would hurt if she did, so she didn't even dare to turn over.

Don't you hate me?

"I don't hate him." Su Yuejin finally noticed the pity in his eyes and quickly shook her head in reply.

"pain?"

"It hurts." Su Yuejin's expression turned aggrieved.

"Why don't you call my name when I love you?"

"If I call your name, you'll continue to be angry..."

“I’m really not angry, Su Yuejin.”

"It's okay if you're not angry. Can you carry me to bed? My butt hurts so much."

"No, get off and walk by yourself."

"No, Lin An, I want a hug." She started to whine again, but this time Lin An wasn't so stubborn. He reached out and picked her up, and Su Yuejin wrapped her arms around his neck.

Lin An carried her all the way to the room, and then she lay down on the bed, but on her side. Her buttocks were still burning with pain, and she felt like she wouldn't be able to get out of bed all night.

But a lot of strange emotions were inexplicably spreading and growing in her heart, and she couldn't even tell them apart.

Lin An took out a tissue and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks. As his fingertips traced her skin, he asked, "Does your face hurt?"

"……pain."

"So why bother? If you didn't care about me, you wouldn't have tortured yourself like this. I'm not someone who softens easily."

"But I just care about you." She murmured, her voice becoming sweet and lovely, as she gently poked his chest by the bedside with her small hand.

The evening breeze blew open the curtains, the wind was gentle and cool.

"Then you should rest well. You look like this, you really need to rest. I'll go first, I still have some things to take care of." Lin An said seriously. After a second or two, Su Yuejin gently tugged at his sleeve.

"Actually, it doesn't hurt that much... If you want me to do it, I can do it. At worst, I'll lie down and you can stand up."

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, because she couldn't pull off that seductive look; after all, she was just a silly little girl.

"Then I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow. Okay, okay, stop fooling around."

"Then, I want a kiss."

Lin An lowered his head and kissed her lips. Su Yuejin obediently stuck out her tongue. A minute or two later, Lin An wiped the saliva from the corner of his lips, and Su Yuejin slowly released her grip on his clothes.

Lin An stood up and walked to the door. Su Yuejin's voice sounded behind him, "Lin An... will you come again next time?"

Before Lin An could speak, Su Yuejin's voice continued, "Don't leave me alone, okay?"

Lin An paused for a second or two. "Probably. What do you want to eat next time?"

"Can you make cola chicken wings?!"

"Will do."

"Uh-huh!"

Lin An gently closed the door for her and left the room.

....................................

Lin An sent Xu Qinghuan a message saying he would be home in ten minutes, but Xu Qinghuan hadn't replied yet and was probably doing something. He had only taken a few steps when his phone rang.

The person who made the call was somewhat unexpected to him.

It's my ex-girlfriend and class monitor, Luo Shuishui.

"Lin An, are you asleep?"

"I don't think anyone goes to bed at eight o'clock." Lin An's voice was gentle, a gentleness that was rarely seen when she was with Su Yuejin.

"So are you free?"

"what happened?"

"I want to go check out those places where you drink, but I'm too scared to go alone. Could you come with me?"

"Let me think... If you want to drink, let's go to a quiet bar, no noise, it's on you?"

"Uh-huh."

"Okay, then you can get reimbursed for the taxi fare too. I'll be at your doorstep soon."

Lin An walked towards the direction of Luo Shuishui's house.

....................................

When Lin An saw Luo Shuishui, he was stunned for a moment.

Luo Shuishui was wearing a JK uniform: a white shirt, a light blue tie, and a light gray pleated skirt. Her hair was loose down to her shoulders. She wasn't particularly petite, but she was just the right size, a little shorter than Lin An.

The girl's slender legs were beautiful beneath her skirt, bathed in the glow of the streetlights. Lin An looked up at her face, which was as serene and gentle as ever, but this time, there was a strange emotion lurking within it.

If Su Yuejin's most beautiful feature is her legs, and Xu Qinghuan's most beautiful feature is her bear, then Luo Shuishui's most beautiful feature is her eyes. Her eyes are very beautiful, and her pupils always sparkle with gentle and quiet emotions.

But Lin An couldn't quite put his finger on the strange emotion he'd just seen in Luo Shuishui's eyes. He walked over to her and asked softly, "Why did you decide to go drinking?"

"Because I've never tried it before, and it just so happens that I'm free today, it's Saturday. I was scared to go alone since I don't know anyone here, so I could only think of you." Luo Shuishui gently brushed her hair back, a very tender gesture.

She was always like that, kind and gentle to everyone. Lin An stood beside her and smelled her unique and pleasant fragrance.

Normally, Luo Shuishui doesn't speak much, but this time, she rarely spoke up, asking, "Does this dress look good on me?"

"nice."

"Because it's my family's shop, a lot of people can't buy it, hehe." Her voice was light and airy as she walked with Lin An along the roadside. Lin An thought for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "What does your family do?"

"Hmm... Actually, I still don't quite understand it, but my family's situation is very complicated. However, if we're talking about money, my family is actually very, very rich, the kind of rich that we could never spend all of it in a lifetime."

"I guessed it, little rich girl."

"But you never said it either. Before we broke up, I liked your ability to not get too close to people, but now I'm starting to wonder... Lin An, what kind of person are you really?"

"He's definitely not a good person. He flirted with older women yesterday and younger women tomorrow."

"So what about today? Are you going to try flirting with me?" Luo Shuishui's voice was very soft, and she even hummed softly, looking charming and cute. She didn't blush when she said this.

"Hmm? You have a fever?"

"Of course not. You never showed me the real you before, so what kind of person am I in your heart?"

"Gentle, easy to talk to, easy to bully... very obedient, sensible, does that count?"

"But I can be naughty, I can be spoiled, and I can have weird, crazy ideas, Lin An."

"I see." Lin An nodded and responded softly.

"But the lipstick mark on your face is really noticeable, Lin An... who kissed you?"

"Su Yuejin." Lin An only then realized that there was a lipstick mark on his face, but when he picked up his phone to see where it was, he found that his face was completely bare.

He turned his head in surprise and saw Luo Shuishui's sly smile, like that of a little fox.

"You've been tricked, you idiot."
