Chapter 72 - 72 71 Quite likeable
?Chapter 72: Chapter 71: Quite likeable Chapter 72: Chapter 71: Quite likeable “…”
Sheng Xian took a few seconds to realize the meaning of the little student’s New Year’s gift.
The vein in one’s left ring finger is said to connect directly to the heart, also known as the “vein of love.”
It’s the place closest to the heart. It’s also where the wedding ring goes.
This little student was really too good.
One flirtatious move after another, absolutely relentless.
He was truly curious about where all these surprising ideas popped up in her little head.
Lu Jingyan saw that Sheng Xian wasn’t speaking and shook the small elastic band in his hand, “Aren’t you satisfied with my gift?”
“Then tell me, if you don’t want my ring size, what do you want?”
Lu Jingyan propped his chin and thought for two seconds, then suddenly leaned his head forward with an innocuous smile.
A very bad premonition crept over Sheng Xian’s heart.
Just as expected, before he could even react, Lu Jingyan, with smiling eyes, asked, “Bust size?”
Sheng Xian: “…”
“Or is it waist? Hips? Or do you want to know it all?” Lu Jingyan raised his eyebrows and continued, “I didn’t realize Professor Sheng was so greedy, but it’s not like I can’t satisfy you.”
“…”
Sheng Xian had no idea how she’d figured out he wanted to know all that.
The girl had no shame, and Sheng Xian genuinely feared that she would blatantly start to recite her measurements to him the next second.
She was totally capable of doing just that.
Sheng Xian hastened to change the subject before she could speak again, “Have you eaten enough?”
Lu Jingyan pouted.
Boring.
Professor Sheng was just an old prude.
It was always like this, no matter what tricks she employed, he would always casually divert the topic as if he hadn’t heard anything.
Lu Jingyan propped his chin and watched Sheng Xian from across the dining table for two seconds, “Which part are you referring to?”
Sheng Xian was a little out of step with her thoughts, “Hmm?”
Lu Jingyan’s long eyelashes fluttered, “My stomach is full but not my body.”
Sheng Xian: “…”
Lu Jingyan: “So, brother, would you consider satisfying me?”
Sheng Xian’s eyelids twitched violently.
Lu Jingyan fearlessly looked at him, relentlessly adding, “Hmm? Brother?”
Her voice was already pleasant, and when she deliberately softened it, it became exceptionally soft, making the listener tingle from the eardrum down to the depths of the heart.
Sheng Xian’s Adam’s apple moved as he quietly watched her, leaning against the chair.
Lu Jingyan, still supporting her chin, met his gaze without any sign of stage fright, thinking to herself, let’s see how long you can hold out.
The room was very quiet, and the flowers on the dining table emitted a faint fragrance as if there were none at all.
But after who knows how long, perhaps a few seconds or perhaps dozens of seconds.
Lu Jingyan blinked, just about to call him ‘brother’ again, when Sheng Xian, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly got up, went around the dining table, and entered the master bedroom.
Only when the door slammed shut did Lu Jingyan hop off the chair and follow after him.
The door to the master bedroom was locked.
Lu Jingyan knocked a few times and, seeing that the person inside didn’t respond, she lazily leaned against the wall and shouted inside, “Brother, what are you hiding from?”
“Taking a cold shower in the dead of winter can make you sick.”
“Brother, you shouldn’t always suppress yourself, suppressing your feelings for too long can make you sick, too.”
“Brother…”
The bedroom door suddenly opened.
Lu Jingyan stopped the words at the tip of her tongue and turned her head to look at Sheng Xian, “That was fast?”
“…”
Sheng Xian restrained the urge to grab the girl in front of him and throw her out, silently grinding his teeth, “Ayan.”
Lu Jingyan opened her mouth but couldn’t say a word behind it.
Damn it, Lu Jingyan, what’s wrong with you?
You were the one acting all experienced at first; he did nothing but say ‘Ayan’, and you’re already falling apart?
Who’s seducing whom here?
Lu Jingyan forced herself to appear calm as she met his gaze, “Hmm?”
“Let’s take you home, okay?” he said in a light tone, like coaxing a child, with a hint of barely noticeable reluctance.
Lu Jingyan found she just couldn’t withstand Sheng Xian like this.
Seeing that she didn’t respond, Sheng Xian took her silence for consent, walked to the living room, and picked up her coat and bag.
After leaving the house, Lu Jingyan changed her shoes and only then did she belatedly realize that she wasn’t just lacking in spirit; she was utterly lacking.
She couldn’t always let him lead her by the nose like this.
They had agreed that in the dynamic between him and her, she was supposed to be the one in control.
Lu Jingyan cleared her throat, looking at Sheng Xian as he stood up after changing his shoes, and asked slowly, “Brother, are you sure you want to take me home?”
