Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

There were no tricks involved, just genuine emotions.

Even because of Ye Cheng's excellent physical condition, Lin Shi could taste a faint trace of blood in his mouth.

He stared wide-eyed at the girl standing right in front of him.

Ye Cheng had closed her eyes tightly because of shyness, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly with nervousness.

For a moment, my brain was working overtime.

Was I forcibly kissed?!

A moment later, Ye Cheng took a small step back and opened her eyes to look at Lin Shi.

He was panting heavily, unsure whether it was from the exhaustion of the recent high-speed chase or from the somewhat desperate kiss.

Her little face was tense, looking very serious, as if she were facing some severe test.

Her earlobes, almost bleeding, revealed the turmoil in her heart.

"We are now..."

"What...is our relationship...?"

Ye Cheng stammered, her body stiffening considerably.

A shared bicycle blocked their way, and what connected them was the hem of Lin Shi's clothes that Ye Cheng was tightly holding.

As a pure-love warrior who grew up in the deep mountains and, under her master's supervision, secretly read her senior sisters' unreliable stories, the kiss she just gave was the limit of her courage.

Originally, she intended to proceed gradually.

But just now at the Liu family villa, watching Liu Ruyan and her nanny's actions...

The antenna in her brain called "intuition" instantly went into overdrive.

We need to get on the A-list now!!!

Forget about procedures, forget about being reserved, just push the tower!

And her intuition has never been wrong.

Years ago, while gathering herbs in the mountains, her intuition told her that she could jump into what seemed like a deadly nook. She closed her eyes and jumped, and not only did she survive, she also found a lost medical book.

If you can win by jumping off a cliff, then you definitely won't lose with this move today.

Lin Shi continued to stare blankly at Ye Cheng, completely unaware of the current situation.

I habitually open the system to check Ye Cheng's favorability rating.

Hmm, nothing has changed.

【37】.

37 my ass!

This lousy system definitely didn't come with drivers installed at the factory; it's completely broken.

Lin Shi looked at Ye Cheng, who was still waiting for an answer, and without saying a word, kicked her.

"Clang!"

The shared bicycle that was blocking the two people flew out with a sound.

Ye Cheng stared at the bicycle that traced an arc in the air, its rear wheel rim slightly deformed. Her mouth was slightly open, but she hadn't had a chance to speak yet.

Lin Shi quickly stepped forward, put his arm around Ye Cheng's slender waist, and kissed her again.

Ye Cheng is just a little girl, what does she know about kissing!

What's the point of not sticking out your tongue?

This is something that definitely needs to be personally taught by my good older brother.

Piece

.......

.........

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

Time

Lip points.

All that could be heard in the air was Ye Cheng's heavy breathing.

If the panting from just now still allows for lingering between exercise and kissing.

Now, Lin Shi can be completely certain that the kiss was the consequence of his own actions.

It can be said that we are proud of it.

Ye Cheng took a deep breath and looked up at Lin Shi again.

Like a stubborn child, insisting on getting a definite answer:

"So, what is our relationship now?"

Seeing her so serious, Lin Shi couldn't help but reach out and pinch her slightly flushed cheeks.

The answer was crisp and concise, without any hesitation:

"Couple".

"The real thing, the kind with a stamp."

[Ye Cheng's favorability towards you has increased by 3 points, currently at 40 points. Please continue your efforts, host.]

Before Ye Cheng could reply, the system notification popped up again, somewhat inopportunely.

To this, Lin Shih only wants to say:

"Screw the system's favorability rating, are you kidding me?"

At this moment, Lin Shi only trusted his own sense of touch.

Upon hearing Lin Shi's reply, Ye Cheng's tense shoulders instantly relaxed.

His lips curled up uncontrollably, revealing his signature canine tooth.

Lin Shi looked at Ye Cheng's somewhat silly smile, then glanced at the dark night around them, and pointed back to the villa behind him, saying:

"It's too late today, and we're a couple now, why don't we stay here instead?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Cheng, who was still immersed in sweetness, instantly stiffened.

next second.

Her face turned from pink to bright red at a visible speed, and finally to a deep red that looked like it was about to smoke.

"Couple." "Don't go." "Stay here."

As Ye Cheng pondered Lin Shi's words, her mind involuntarily began to replay the secret stories her senior sisters had hidden under their beds.

Quickly raise your hand and start waving:

No, no thanks.

"I'm just a mountain person, this pace is a bit too fast for me."

Lin Shi looked at Ye Cheng, who seemed to be about to explode from overload, and instantly realized what kind of nonsense was going through this girl's little brain.

"stop!"

Lin Shi helplessly raised his hand and lightly flicked her forehead:

"What are you thinking about?"

"Just sleeping! You're in the guest room, I'm in the master bedroom, the kind of sleeping room separated by a hallway!"

"Stop letting your vivid imagination run wild; I'm a respectable person."

Ye Cheng's face turned even redder after her thoughts were exposed on the spot, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"I...I think I'll go home!"

To cover her embarrassment, Ye Cheng turned and ran, rushing towards the overturned shared bicycle on the side of the road like a startled rabbit.

"Aunt Su is still waiting for me at home; she'll worry if I don't go back!"

As she spoke, she reached out and helped up the unfortunate little yellow bike.

however.

The moment the car body stood upright, the air suddenly became quiet.

The once smooth and rounded rear wheel hub was now twisted into an extremely distorted figure-eight shape, stuck firmly to the frame and unable to move.

This was Lin Shi's masterpiece of a "dragon tail swing" kick in a moment of desperation.

Lin Shi: "......."

Ye Cheng: "......."

Ye Cheng tried to push it, but the rear wheel didn't budge and let out a screech, as if accusing the newlywed couple of their brutality.

Ye Cheng scratched her head in frustration, then turned to look at Lin Shi, silently voicing her accusation:

"You kicked Little Huang and tore the stitches."

Lin Shi scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. It was just a natural reaction; he could only blame the bicycle for not being sturdy enough.

"Then how about..."

Lin Shi pointed to the house behind him for the third time.

Ye Cheng shook her head in refusal once again; her intuition told her not to go in.

Seeing this, Lin Shi had no other choice.

Although there is another car in the garage, I really can't drive it after drinking.

It's not just about being responsible to pedestrians, but also about being responsible to Ye Cheng.

He could only run a few steps, take Ye Cheng's little hand, and interlock their fingers:

"Well, there's nothing we can do then. We'll just have to walk you home."

Ye Cheng looked at her right hand, which was being held, and tried her best to hold Lin Shi's left hand as well.

The two of them slowly walked outside.

"Lin Shi, are we going to keep walking all the way back to Aunt Su's house?"

"What are you thinking? We'll take a taxi as soon as we leave the neighborhood. You expect us to walk this far? How long would that take?"

"oh."

"Lin Shi, thank you."

Ye Cheng suddenly blurted out a thank you that seemed to come out of nowhere, causing Lin Shi to turn and look at her:

"What's up? Why are you thanking me?"

Ye Cheng, however, kept her gaze fixed on what was ahead:

"No, I didn't say anything. Don't be so narcissistic."
