Oh no! Drunk last night, I accidentally wandered into my ex-boyfriend's room.

It wasn't just Xia Tingshi standing outside the door.

Even Lin Qian was stunned.

Lu Beiting just... kissed Xia Tingshi right in front of her?

The man wrapped one arm around her waist and pinched her chin with the other, then without hesitation sealed her luscious lips with his hot breath and tender affection.

The kiss came very suddenly.

Lin Qian was speechless, her face flushed crimson, and she could only passively endure the other party's fierce onslaught.

Her brain was somewhat oxygen-deprived from the kisses, and her rationality gradually disappeared, leaving her completely unable to think.

"Don't..."

This was the first time Lin Qian had ever kissed someone in front of her. She was nervous, at a loss, and filled with shame.

Her eyes were glistening with tears, and her ears were burning hot.

"Ah!" Xia Tingshi screamed, covering her eyes in panic.

Her features contorted in pain. "You...you two..."

Lu Beiting seemed not to hear her voice and continued to steal Lin Qian's breath.

A moment later, he licked his lips, still seemingly unsatisfied, and looked up at Xia Tingshi, his voice indifferent and impatient:

"What, aren't you going to get lost? Do you want us to show you right here and now?"

Xia Tingshi's voice trembled with anger, her carefully maintained facade completely crumbling. "You've gone too far!"

After she finished speaking, tears streamed down her face, and her hands, which were holding onto her cane, trembled.

She walked away from the villa step by step, almost falling on the steps.

How could you do this? How could you treat her like this!

Brother Bei Ting actually kissed that bitch Lin Qian right in front of her...

The thought of the two of them doing such intimate and ambiguous things in the middle of the night felt like poisonous needles piercing her heart, causing her almost suffocation.

Xia Tingshi returned to the hospital ward in tears.

She buried her face in her mother Song Qingmei's arms, her eyes red and breathless.

Song Qingmei hugged her tightly and patted her back: "What's wrong, baby?"

"Mom..." Xia Tingshi raised her tearful eyes, choking back sobs, "I was the one who met Brother Beiting first, why did Lin Qian steal him away?"

Xia Tingshi no longer wanted to like Lu Beiting.

Even if it were any other woman, I would never let Lin Qian succeed.

Upon hearing this name, Song Qingmei's expression changed. "What did you say her name was?"

Xia Tingshi: "Her name is Lin Qian, the daughter of that bitch Lin Shuyao!"

It was her.

Song Qingmei gave a cold laugh.

How could she bear to see her precious child suffer the same fate she had experienced back then? She immediately made a phone call to Xia Jichuan.

"Honey, you only have one daughter, Shishi, right? There's something I need you to do."

-

Lin Qian was stunned after being kissed by Lu Beiting.

She was both ashamed and angry, and broke free from his embrace. "How...how could you kiss me in front of other people?"

Lu Beiting wasn't annoyed when she pushed him away; he hugged her again and pinched her face.

"Because no amount of talk is as effective as action. Wouldn't it be better to drive her away, baby?"

"It's satisfying," Lin Qian asked, "You really don't like Xia Tingshi at all, do you?"

Why would I like her?

Lu Beiting cupped her face in his hands, his dark eyes meeting hers. "Baby, do you think I'm that bad at judging people?"

Lin Qian slowly lowered her eyes. "But back in high school, everyone was saying that you two were secretly dating..."

Even if there wasn't a real conversation, there should still be a hazy, ambiguous atmosphere between them.

During her high school years, Xia Tingshi came from a privileged family and was beautiful and elegant.

She can play the piano and dance, and is known as the goddess of the school by her group of girlfriends. Many people fawn over her.

At that time, Lin Qian was taking medication to combat depression and other mental illnesses. She was slightly overweight and had bangs. Every time she passed Lu Beiting, she would lower her head in self-consciousness.

She would occasionally see Xia Tingshi leaning close to Lu Beiting to talk. Although she didn't know what they were saying, Xia Tingshi always smiled happily.

She had envied Xia Tingshi countless times.

Anyone who sees this picture would think the two are a perfect match.

"Lin Qian," Lu Beiting stared into her eyes, "I have never been attracted to anyone else."

"Except for you."

The man deliberately lowered his voice, and an indescribable emotion was slowly brewing, striking straight to the depths of his soul.

Lin Qian felt as if her heart had been struck, a tingling, electric-like sensation spreading instantly throughout her body.

How can this man say such deadly things?

"Baby, I regret it," Lu Beiting said. "I should have made my move on you back in high school. I could have made you obediently lie on the podium in that blue and white summer uniform from No. 1 High School, or I could have held you on the desk, or even on the school rooftop..."

Lin Qian imagined what it would be like to do that kind of thing in her high school class.

!!!

Instantly, her mind went blank, and her entire neck turned bright red.

Lin Qian pursed her lips awkwardly and whispered a reminder: "But minors can't date...you need to focus on your studies."

"Why not?" Lu Beiting raised an eyebrow with a half-smile. "I can be your teacher, teaching you how to do problems, and not just how to do problems, but also how to love."

"..."

Lu Beiting's daily pervertedness +1

Lin Qian silently complained in her heart.

However, she knew that she was different from people like Lu Beiting who were exceptionally talented.

Lu Beiting was never seen to study very hard, yet he always managed to rank first in his grade and was eventually directly admitted to Imperial University.

Lin Qian is different; she climbed up step by step from the lower middle of her grade.

God knows how hard she worked and how much she suffered for the goal of getting into Imperial University. She did so many practice problems every day that her eyelids were drooping and she would just fall asleep on the table.

During that time, she even considered not eating or sleeping and just doing practice problems.

Just so I could go to the same university as him.

Thinking of this, Lin Qian's eyes stung, and her voice broke off, tinged with a sob:

"I wasn't good-looking back then, so it's normal that you didn't like me."

Many male classmates would make jokes about her, or even make lewd remarks.

There were also rumors spread behind her back by Xia Tingshi and her friends, which changed how others viewed her.

That was the most embarrassing and awkward time of her life.

No one wants to appear in front of someone they like in this way.

"I don't think it looks bad," Lu Beiting interrupted her, "It's always been quite cute."

The man's deep voice slowly entered my ears.

Lin Qian looked up abruptly.

Lu Beiting stood in front of her, pinched her slender waist, and with a little force, forced her to press against him.

The man's eyes gleamed with amusement and doting. "On the contrary, you're too thin now. It feels like you'll break if I gently pinch you. Every time I... I'm afraid I might kill you."

Lin Qian: "..."

Can't we just talk normally?

Lin Qian angrily kicked him.

Lu Beiting let out a muffled groan, laughing instead of getting angry, "Baby, you've given me pleasure again..."
