The flirtatious girl is done flirting; Mr. He is now obsessed with her.

Bai Yishu deflated, withdrew her hand, and took a step back.

"I was wrong, Professor He. Please forgive my mistake; a magnanimous person can hold a grudge..."

He Yun Shen's anger subsided somewhat, but an indescribable sense of irritation rose within him.

"So, you're just going to let it go like this?"

Bai Yishu nodded quickly, looking at him expectantly.

"Ha, dream on."

He Yun Shen pressed Bai Yi Shu step by step toward the wall, bracing himself against it with one hand and holding her tightly in his arms.

"You think you can just pretend nothing happened after kissing me? What does Miss Bai take me for?"

"I……"

Bai Yishu didn't know how to respond, her mind racing as she tried to figure out how to get him to let her go.

"Either give me a reasonable explanation, or..."

He Yun Shen didn't give her a chance to speak, his gaze lingering on her lips for a moment.

"I'll kiss you back."

"What?"

Bai Yishu stood there, stunned, wondering if there was anything wrong with her hearing recently, so how could she hear so many unbelievable things?

He Yun Shen's lips curled into a dangerous smile, his dark eyes reflecting Bai Yi Shu's face.

"I said, you kissed me, so I'm going to kiss you back. It's fair."

Bai Yishu's face flushed red instantly.

He Yun Shen watched as her face turned red to her neck, feeling secretly pleased, and lowered his head to gradually approach her.

Bai Yishu watched his face get closer and closer, nervously closing her eyes and her breathing becoming rapid.

"Scared?"

He Yun Shen stopped a few centimeters from her lips, admiring the way her eyelashes trembled slightly.

"You're the one who provoked me."

He grasped Bai Yishu's head with his palm, and before he could finish speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her, forceful and domineering, giving her no chance to escape.

Bai Yishu felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her throat, her body grew weaker and weaker, and her breathing became labored.

He Yunshen released her, his fingertips brushing against the corner of her lips to wipe away the remaining dampness. His breathing was still a little rapid.

"This is just interest..."

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Bai Yishu's breath hitched, and she unconsciously tensed up.

"Who?"

He Yun Shen's eyes flashed with displeasure. Reluctantly, he straightened up, tidied his shirt collar and slightly messy hair, and returned to his usual aloof demeanor.

"Professor He, is this a convenient time?"

The principal's voice rang out from outside the door. Bai Yishu was startled, afraid that the principal would see her. She lowered her head and ran out of the office the moment he entered.

He Yun Shen's face darkened as he watched her run away, then he quickly suppressed his remaining emotions.

"Principal, what brings you here?"

The principal glanced at Bai Yishu's retreating figure and spoke slowly.

"Professor He, recently there have been many rumors circulating at the school about you and Bai Yishu."

He Yun Shen remained calm and composed, his hands folded in front of him, his tone indifferent.

"That's just nonsense. As a professor, I naturally understand the boundaries between teachers and students."

"It's good that Professor He understands."

He Yun Shen maintained a calm demeanor, but his fingernails dug into his arms.

"Thank you for the reminder, Principal. I will be careful with my words and actions to avoid spreading similar rumors again."

The principal smiled and nodded, saying nothing more. He gave He Yun Shen a meaningful look, then turned and left the office.

He Yun Shen only relaxed after the principal's footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor.

He walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and thought about Bai Yishu's appearance, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

Bai Yishu bumped into several passersby on her way out of the office. She quickly apologized to them and then ran forward with her head down.

They kissed twice in one week! She had never experienced anything like this before!

He's gone mad...

Bai Yishu immediately took out her phone and called He Wanqing, asking her to invite some friends to a bar for drinks that night.

She'll either have insomnia tonight or get herself drunk.

Bai Yishu had barely entered the bar when He Wanqing pulled her to sit down on the sofa.

"My dear little darling, what's going on between you and my uncle? The whole school is saying you two have an inappropriate relationship!"

Bai Yishu spat out a mouthful of water, choking and coughing incessantly.

She picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth.

"I didn't."

He Wanqing held onto Bai Yishu's hand tightly, her gossip-loving spirit burning brightly.

"The school is saying you two were being all lovey-dovey in his office, and they even saw you running out of his office with a flushed face. Is that true?"

Bai Yishu's face flushed red again as she recalled what happened that afternoon.

"Wow! It really is true!"

He Wanqing shook her arm excitedly, a maternal smile on her face.

"So what's your relationship with my uncle now?"

He Wanqing glanced around and lowered his voice.

"Boyfriend/girlfriend? Or...friends with benefits?"

Bai Yishu was choked by her words again, her face turning bright red.

But He Wanqing's words reminded her, since she had been so focused on avoiding He Yunshen that she hadn't considered this issue at all.

Bai Yishu really didn't know what their current situation was. It seemed like they were doing things that lovers do, but they didn't have that kind of status.

Ever since she was rejected by He Yun Shen that night, she has been unable to convince herself to shamelessly pursue him again.

So, aren't they just engaging in ambiguous and unclear flirting now?

Bai Yishu sighed in frustration and picked up the wine glass on the table.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's drink!"

"Fine, I won't say anymore, let's drink!"

He Wanqing picked up the wine bottle and filled her glass. Bai Yishu raised her glass and clinked it with the friends around her before drinking it all in one gulp.

Bai Yishu drank one cup after another, but she didn't feel relaxed at all. Her cheeks were already flushed, and her eyes were glazed as she looked at the people on the dance floor.

He Wanqing couldn't bear to see Bai Yishu drowning her sorrows in alcohol, so he decided to help them.

She used the excuse of going to the restroom to find a quiet corner and called He Yun Shen.

"Uncle, Yi Shu and I are at a bar. She's had too much to drink and can't get home by herself. Could you come and pick her up?"

He Wanqing hung up the phone, glanced in Bai Yishu's direction, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

Don't say your sisters didn't help you...

The bar lights made Bai Yishu dizzy. She put down her glass, got up, and climbed onto the dance floor in front of her.

Bai Yishu was dancing with the crowd on the dance floor when a man in a black shirt moved in front of her and swayed his body to her rhythm.

Whether it was the alcohol or the lighting, Bai Yishu found the man in front of her to be quite handsome.

Her fingertips lightly traced the man's slightly open collar, but the image of He Yun Shen appeared in her mind.

"Bai Yishu!"

Bai Yishu paused, feeling as if she were hallucinating, yet the sound seemed so real it didn't feel like a hallucination.

She turned around and saw He Yun Shen staring at her angrily.

Bai Yishu rubbed her eyes, her mind clearing up a bit, when He Yun Shen grabbed her wrist.

"Get down!"
