Family, my brain has crashed.
Isn't the mutual exchange supposed to be over? What is happening now?
Is it possible that a shooting star grants wishes and also takes a break for a week?
I quickly closed my eyes, freezing in place, not daring to move, when suddenly I heard a familiar deep male voice beside me.
"Stop pretending if you're awake, get up."
Amen, if I have sinned, let the law punish me.
There is a cute animal in this world called an "ostrich," which buries its head in the sand when faced with danger.
But I am not an ostrich.
So I decided to close my eyes and play dead.
I pretended to be sound asleep, trying to remove my arms and legs that were draped over Qi Chen, erasing the evidence.
Just as I was halfway through my action, I felt a tight grip around my waist as someone pulled me into their embrace, the faint scent of orchids enveloping my senses.
Immediately after, a warm hand grasped my jaw.
"Are you still pretending?" he threatened.
How did Qi Chen know I was awake?
I was baffled.
But given the current situation, if I opened my eyes, wouldn’t it confirm that I had been all over Qi Chen and then abandoned him?
No way, absolutely not.
I wouldn’t open my eyes even if it killed me.
As I kept my eyes shut, my other senses seemed to sharpen remarkably.
I heard a low chuckle escape from Qi Chen's throat before he released his grip on my cheek.
He gently tucked the stray strands of hair on my face behind my ear with his fingertips.
His breath drew closer and finally stopped right by my ear.
The warm air brushed against the side of my face, making my heart race and cheeks flush.
"Be good, open your eyes and look at me," he whispered softly in my ear.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Let me catch my breath.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Coach! He's fouling!!!
I felt like the groundhog inside me was about to scream.
But Qi Chen didn't seem ready to let me off the hook.
His palm slowly brushed over my cheek, finally pressing his thumb against the corner of my lips.
The touch was gentle, sending a tingling sensation through me.
"Hu Keyan, I'm going to count to three. If you don't open your eyes by then, I'm going to kiss you."
"Three—"
"Two—"
"Hey, Brother Chen, good morning! Hahaha, what a coincidence to see you again..."
Just as he reached "two," I suddenly opened my eyes wide, crashing straight into Qi Chen's dark gaze—
Deep and cold. His look at me was teasing yet tinged with a hint of melancholy.
Gasp...
I instinctively inhaled sharply.
No way, no way, that can't be real!
Did I really... in a fit of desire, pounce on Qi Chen last night?
What should I do?
Help me, help me, help me!
"Why did you stop acting?"
As soon as Qi Chen spoke, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Do you remember what you did last night?"
He held my waist tightly, refusing to let go, his eyes fixed on me.
I must have been out of my mind. I actually saw a hint of... tenderness in Qi Chen's gaze?
"I..."
As soon as I opened my mouth, I realized my throat was as dry as if it were on fire, and a throbbing pain pulsed at my temples.
I felt weak all over; the aftereffects of the hangover hit me like a tidal wave.
"My head hurts..."
I frowned, rubbed my temples, and said pitifully, "I blacked out last night; I don't remember anything, really..."
Qi Chen's grip faltered for a moment.
I sensed that the anger he had already lost half of suddenly flared back up inexplicably.
In an instant, he flipped me over and pinned me beneath him, one hand holding both of mine down on my head.
With a cold smirk, he said to me, "Don't remember? Fine, let me help you recall."
"Last night, you came at me and tore off my clothes, desperately trying to burrow into my arms."
As he spoke, he pointed at himself.
"See those bite marks on my skin? Huh? They're all your handiwork."
He leaned closer to my ear and whispered softly.
The stubble on his chin brushed against my neck, sending a tingling sensation coursing through my entire body.
