You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Su Qinghe pursed her lips and gave a sweet smile.

She judged Jiang Che's location based on the sound, then quietly lifted the blanket, and two slender white legs peeked out from under the covers.

Jiang Che was sitting with his back to her, struggling with a difficult derivative problem, completely unaware of the commotion behind him.

Su Qinghe wasn't wearing slippers. The hospital floor was covered with rubber flooring, which wasn't too cold, but it still felt a bit chilly to walk on barefoot.

She was like a kitten preparing to hunt, relying entirely on her hearing to orient herself.

The sound of the pen tip scratching the paper was her best guide.

One step, two steps.

The sound became clearer and clearer.

Su Qinghe slowly held her breath, tentatively reaching out with both hands in front of her, afraid of bumping into something and making a sound.

Just a little further forward, and I could hug that warm back.

Ah Che would never have imagined that a "blind man" could launch a sneak attack, would he?

Just imagining the scene of Jiang Che being startled by her sudden attack, Su Qinghe couldn't help but widen her smile.

However, just as her fingertips were about to touch Jiang Che's back...

The boy in front of them suddenly moved.

Jiang Che spent a long time figuring out a solution to the problem and was about to start working on it when he suddenly felt a strange chill on the back of his neck.

That feeling... how should I put it, it was like being targeted by some small animal.

Jiang Che touched his chin thoughtfully, then subtly curled the corner of his mouth into a smile.

This silly girl remained silent for a long time, thinking she had hidden herself perfectly, little did she know that this was precisely what exposed her intentions.

His hand holding the pen paused, sensing that Su Qinghe was almost behind him. He seized the opportunity, whirled around, and then suddenly shouted:

"Hey!"

Su Qinghe had been on tenterhooks the whole way, and now that she was about to succeed, her nerves were stretched to the limit.

Jiang Che's sudden shout nearly scared her out of her wits.

"ah--!"

She shuddered involuntarily, her legs went weak, and she lost her balance and fell forward.

"I knew you were planning a sneak attack."

Jiang Che reacted quickly, throwing down the pen in his hand, then stood up and turned around nimbly, catching the falling girl steadily with open arms.

Soft jade and warm fragrance fill my arms.

Su Qinghe's face bumped right into his chest with a muffled "thud".

"Waaah..."

The girl's face was still full of shock, her hands gripping Jiang Che's collar nervously, her heart still pounding wildly.

Bad guy.

She was the one who wanted to scare A-Che, but somehow she ended up being the one who was scared by him.

"Ah Che, you're so mean!"

Su Qinghe looked up, and although she couldn't see, she instinctively turned her face towards him, blushing as she playfully punched him. "Did you already know I was here?"

"Yeah, right." Jiang Che nodded shamelessly, making up lies to tease her without batting an eye, "Don't you know that couples can understand each other? How could I possibly miss the little thoughts you're having?"

"Nonsense... How could that be? Tell me how you know?"

Su Qinghe was a little unconvinced. She felt that her stealth skills were clearly superb, as she had even noticed such a subtle detail as the sound of breathing.

Jiang Che reached out and poked her puffed-up cheek with his finger. "Really, I'm not lying to you. It really is telepathy. I felt you behind me."

In fact, he wasn't entirely lying; it was indeed his spider-sense that made him realize something was amiss.

As for the fact that she hasn't made any noise for a long time...

He knew in his heart that he had already spoiled Su Qinghe's mood by thwarting her sneak attack.

If I bring this up, what if Su Qinghe never wants to play these kinds of fun games with me again?

So Jiang Che chose to tell Su Qinghe some half-truths and nonsense.

Su Qinghe huffed and rubbed her head against his chest, then stopped asking questions.

Jiang Che, holding the girl in his arms, sat back down on the sofa.

He lowered his head, his gaze falling on her bare little feet, and his brows furrowed instantly.

"Why aren't you wearing shoes?"

Jiang Che's tone became more serious. "Don't you know how cold the ground is? You're already weak, and you still dare to run around barefoot?"

Su Qinghe shrank her neck, and her previous imposing manner instantly deflated.

"I...I was just afraid of making footsteps."

She argued softly, "If I wear shoes, I won't have that stealthy effect."

"You're willing to sacrifice your health just to scare me, huh?" Jiang Che nodded her head helplessly.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Su Qinghe stuck out her pink tongue and made a face in the direction from which Jiang Che's voice had come.

"Omitted~"

Then she tilted her body and leaned back on the sofa, her upper body resting lazily on the armrest.

As she moved, the loose trousers of her hospital gown slid up a bit, revealing a pair of slender, fair legs.

Jiang Che was about to tell her to put her shoes on quickly when he saw the girl lift her legs and stuff her bare little feet into his arms.

She even kicked his belly, finding a comfortable spot to settle down.

What are you doing?

Jiang Che was a little confused by this series of moves, and while speaking, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed Su Qinghe's small foot.

"It's cold~"

Su Qinghe, though seemingly unconvinced, pouted slightly and looked completely innocent. "You're my boyfriend, so you have an obligation to warm my feet."

After saying that, she playfully rubbed her toes against his chest.

A thin school uniform shirt can't block anything. On the surface, it's just a very slight touch, but Jiang Che knows exactly what it feels like.

He couldn't help but gasp, stiffly lowering his head to look at the two tiny feet in his arms, which looked like they were carved from white jade.

Su Qinghe's feet were cold, but his body felt warm inside.

A surge of anger rose from his lower abdomen, traveling along his nerves to his brain, gradually eroding his reason.

The boy took several deep breaths before he managed to suppress the inappropriate thought.

"Su Qinghe, Su Qinghe, what good does it do you to start trouble like this?"

Jiang Che impatiently reached out and pulled her back into his arms, then turned her over and lightly slapped her bottom several times.

"If you move around again, I'll throw you back onto the bed."

Su Qinghe wasn't afraid of him even after being spanked. Instead of stopping, she snuggled her feet back into his arms after escaping his clutches, landing right on his abs.

"Fine, throw it away then. I don't believe you'd be willing to hurt me."

Su Qinghe whined sweetly, her face full of smug satisfaction, "A-Che is the best, he definitely wouldn't bear to see my feet frozen like pig's trotters, right?"
