A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

"Mr. Li, I won't bother you any longer. Please continue."

The voice just fell.

The call was immediately disconnected.

Li Xixue's hand holding the phone was still suspended in mid-air.

She couldn't possibly have missed the implication in Chen Yan's last sentence.

And it's nighttime now.

What kind of exercise can you do so late at night?

Isn't this digging a hole for myself?

The key point is that, before the call ended, she could still hear the other person trying to suppress a laugh.

Thinking about this...

Li Xixue's face flushed instantly again.

Lu Yang remained in the same position, one hand propped up on the side of the sofa, looking at her.

"continue?"

Li Xixue raised her leg and kicked him in the chest.

The force wasn't great, but the meaning was clear.

Lu Yang was kicked and fell backward.

He groaned, clutched his chest, frowned, and shrank back.

Li Xixue had just put her phone down when she heard this sound and paused.

She turned to look at Lu Yang.

The man was huddled in the corner of the sofa, one hand pressed against his chest, his breathing becoming rapid.

Li Xixue's expression changed.

No, I didn't use any force in that kick.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Lu Yang didn't speak, his brows furrowing even more.

Li Xixue quickly went over.

"Did it get a fever again?"

She reached out and touched his forehead.

It's not hot.

The temperature is normal.

Lu Yang clutched his chest, his eyes closed, his face contorted with pain.

"I feel... a little short of breath."

Upon hearing this, Li Xixue quickly touched his forehead again.

Where do you feel unwell? Tell me specifically.

Lu Yang took a breath, his voice broken: "My chest... feels a little tight."

Li Xixue thought for a moment. She remembered that Doubao had said that if you don't fully recover after a fever, strenuous exercise may cause some complications.

Although that kick wasn't a strenuous activity, what if it happened?

"I'll take you to the hospital."

Li Xixue stood up immediately and went to get the car keys.

Lu Yang grabbed her wrist.

"No...you don't need to go to the hospital!"

"You can't breathe and you're still not leaving?"

Lu Yang shook his head, his voice becoming weak again: "You...you come closer."

Li Xixue was stunned: "What?"

I want to say something to you.

Li Xixue hesitated for a moment, then squatted down and put her ear close.

Lu Yang's lips brushed against her ear.

The hot air hit my earlobe.

Li Xixue shrugged.

"Your legs were so white when you kicked me just now."

Upon hearing this...

Li Xixue's initial worries vanished instantly.

Instead, anger took its place.

She bit her lip.

Why can't I breathe?

Why do I feel tightness in my chest?

Good heavens, it was all an act!

"Lu Yang".

"Um?"

"Are you tired of living?"

Lu Yang sensed danger and quickly shrank back behind the sofa.

"No, let me explain..."

Li Xixue ignored him and grabbed the cushion next to her.

"Weren't you having trouble breathing?"

Snapped.

The cushion hit Lu Yang in the face.

"Aren't you feeling tightness in your chest?"

Snapped.

one more time.

Lu Yang covered his head with his hands.

Li Xixue didn't stop.

clap clap.

One cushion after another greeted them.

A moment later.

Lu Yang finally behaved himself.

Li Xixue threw away the cushion, her chest heaving, and sat back down on the other side of the sofa, panting.

She didn't look at Lu Yang.

But the corners of his mouth are bulging.

Lu Yang climbed out of the pile of cushions and looked at Li Xixue's profile.

Are you really angry?

Li Xixue turned her head away, not wanting to pay him any attention.

Lu Yang quickly turned to face her.

Li Xixue turned her attention to the other side, still refusing to acknowledge him.

Lu Yang had no choice but to reach out and tug at her clothes, refusing to let go.

Li Xixue moved to the side.

He followed along.

Li Xixue moved again.

He followed again.

The two of them moved along the sofa, until Li Xixue was squeezed to the armrest, with nowhere left to retreat.

"Let go."

"Not loose."

Li Xixue turned her head and glared at him.

Lu Yang met her gaze, his expression somewhat pitiful.

Li Xixue ignored her and turned away.

Lu Yang moved his hand, which was tugging at the hem of her dress, down a little and grabbed the hem of her nightgown.

Li Xixue was wearing a thin, wine-red lace nightgown.

The material is very soft silk.

He pulled it, and the fabric clung to her body.

The curve of the waistline is immediately apparent.

Li Xixue glanced down.

"What are you doing, acting all high and mighty?!"

Lu Yang didn't move his fingers: "I didn't pull it, the fabric slid over by itself."

"...The fabric can slide on its own?"

"gravity."

Li Xixue took a deep breath.

I'm not going to waste my time with him.

Lu Yang moved even closer, his face almost touching her shoulder.

"I swear, I won't pretend anymore."

I don't believe what you're saying.

Li Xixue finally spoke.

Why?

Li Xixue turned her head to look at him.

"How many times have you pretended? Last time you pretended to be dizzy to trick me into feeding you noodles, and just now you pretended to have trouble breathing."

Lu Yang opened his mouth.

Ok.

He does have a criminal record.

"So... things shouldn't happen more than three times?"

Li Xixue slapped his hand away.

"You're still trying to bargain with me?"

No, no.

Lu Yang quickly withdrew his hand.

Li Xixue then slowly spoke, "That would be for the best, because..."

"Why?"

"...I'm really worried."

"All right……"

Lu Yang responded.

What was originally a joke suddenly made him feel guilty.

Followed by.

He suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, who called you just now?"

"Chen Yan".

"What's wrong?"

"It's all your fault."

Li Xixue tugged at her collar: "She must have figured it out."

"What did you hear?"

"I can tell from the sound..."

Li Xixue blushed slightly.

Lu Yang touched his nose, and roughly guessed: "So what if you can hear it? It's not like it's anything shameful."

"Besides, it's also her fault. Why would she suddenly call so late at night? It's so offensive!"

"..."

Li Xixue pursed her lips and remained silent.

She could imagine the expression on Chen Yan's face when she saw her tomorrow.

It's so embarrassing just thinking about it.

"Alright, stop thinking about it."

Lu Yang's voice came from the side.

Li Xixue ignored him.

It's all this person's fault.

If it weren't for his meddling around, I wouldn't have...

"Oh, right."

Lu Yang suddenly spoke up.

Li Xixue tilted her head slightly.

Lu Yang changed his posture, turning sideways to face her: "I suddenly remembered something."

Li Xixue looked at him.

"What is it?"

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes.

"What about the reward you promised me?"

Li Xixue's finger twitched.

award?

What reward?

Her mind raced.

Then I remembered.

She did casually mention that Lu Yang had helped the company earn 1 billion yuan.

She didn't take it seriously at all when she said that.

"Um... I think that's a possibility."

Li Xixue's expression was somewhat subtle.

What do you mean by "similar"?

Lu Yang wasn't fooled by her act and replied matter-of-factly, "You said it yourself, are you going to go back on your word?"
