81: First kiss

"What did you say?!"

Xie Wan stood up again instantly. Although she couldn't hear any sincerity in Shen Qian's confession, she was still startled by him.

This guy had never looked at her properly, and he had been annoying her from start to finish. Now he was actually saying he liked her? What a joke!

Shen Qian shrugged helplessly.

"Sorry, Senior, this is the only way I could think of. I don't want to reject Senior Female Student Du, but I don't want to hurt her either."

Xie Wan instantly understood Shen Qian's meaning.

"You actually! You're actually using me as a shield! You want to use me as an excuse to reject Xixi!"

She was furious. She hadn't expected Shen Qian to be so despicable. He didn't want to be the villain, so he thought she could be one instead?

"I see you two have a good relationship. If it's your best friend who stole the boy you like, I believe Senior Female Student Du should be able to accept it.

What's more, you're a bit prettier than her. Saying it this way would make it more believable."

"No!"

"What?"

"You can't say that. You can't use me as a shield, and you certainly can't use me as an excuse to reject Xixi. Shen Qian, what you're doing is too despicable!"

Shen Qian's brows furrowed as he feigned anger.

"Despicable? Senior, that word is a bit much to use on me. Out of all the answers, I just chose the one that causes the least harm, and you actually call me despicable.

You know, Senior Student Xixi is like this now all because of you. I don't know what she heard from you, and I don't know why she posted that thread.

Now she's confessed to me. Out of humanitarianism, I don't want her to get hurt, yet you call me despicable.

You're hiding behind the scenes, washing your hands of this matter, while the trouble has landed on me.

Senior, between you and me, who is actually the despicable one?"

"You! Of all the people in the whole school, why must it be me!"

"Didn't I already say? You have a good relationship with her. If I say it's you, she'll be able to accept it."

"We..."

Xie Wan wanted to speak, but she stopped herself.

"You want to say your relationship isn't that good now, right? But you're afraid to tell me that the reason your relationship soured is because of me.

Why?

Xie Wan, I've already stirred up your emotions quite a bit. Even if you haven't fallen in love with me, you must have some special feeling toward me, right?"

Shen Qian grumbled inwardly, but his face still maintained a look of confusion.

"In any case, you cannot use me as a shield!"

Shen Qian laughed, but it wasn't a happy laugh; it was mocking.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at how naive you are, Senior. Is it any of your business what I choose to say?

You don't want to be the villain? Well, today I'm going to make you be the villain."

As he spoke, he reached for his phone. Xie Wan, knowing what he was about to do, immediately tried to grab it. In the scramble, the girl fell into Shen Qian's arms. It wasn't until their eyes met that she realized how inappropriate her actions were.

But at this moment, her entire body was already pressed against Shen Qian's chest.

The next moment, Shen Qian tossed his phone aside and cupped the girl's face with both hands.

As the saying goes, the bold feast while the timid starve.

The moment their lips touched, Xie Wan's eyes widened. She probably hadn't expected things to develop this way.

But because it happened so suddenly, she only realized what was happening after Shen Qian pulled away.

"How dare you!"

"Sorry, Senior. You really are very beautiful; I couldn't help myself for a moment."

"You bastard! You rogue! You—!"

The girl's palm was about to land on Shen Qian's face, but he caught her hand.

"I might indeed be a bit of a bastard, but this is also what you owe me. If you hadn't lied about me sexually harassing you, none of this would have happened."

"This was my first kiss, you bastard!"

"First kiss? You're acting like it wasn't mine too. Besides, I'm younger than you, so you're the one who came out ahead."

"You dare call me old? You bastard, I'll kill you!"

Who could have imagined that such a cold goddess would actually go wild in a private room of a restaurant? Shen Qian had no choice but to pin her wrists with both hands. Even so, she still had her head, and she bit down hard on his shoulder.

Shen Qian winced in pain and let out a muffled groan. His strength surged as he tightly gripped her shoulders, his eyes flashing with anger.

"Are you crazy?!"

His sudden anger was terrifying, startling the girl into a daze.

Shen Qian pulled back his clothes; his shoulder had been bitten until it bled. She had bitten down extremely hard. Fortunately, it was on his shoulder and not a major artery, or he might have been bitten to death.

"Are you a fucking zombie?!"

Shen Qian exposed the wound.

"Congratulations, you broke the skin. It's enough to constitute a minor injury. I'm going to get an injury assessment right now. If it counts as a minor injury, just you wait!"

"It's because you forcibly kissed me that I—!"

"Where's the evidence? Where's the evidence that I forcibly kissed you? The evidence of you biting me is right here. There's definitely your DNA on my clothes. But where's the evidence of me kissing you?"

"You're so wicked! How can you be like this! It was clearly you... you were the one who bullied me first. From the very beginning, you were the one bullying me. Xixi won't talk to me anymore, and now you're still bullying me!"

As the girl spoke, tears actually began to flow. Fortunately, the soundproofing of the restaurant's private room was quite good, and Shen Qian had closed the door. Otherwise, if she started crying like this, he really wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he were in the right.

"Shut up."

She continued to cry.

"Shut up!" Shen Qian slammed the table hard. The girl was startled, and her crying turned into sobbing.

"If you keep crying, I'll go find the Uncles in Hats and have them assess my injury. Then you won't be able to attend university anymore; you might even have to go inside for a few days."

"No."

"Scared now? Why weren't you scared when you were biting me just now? Come here."

"What for?"

"I'm the type of person who likes to repay kindness with kindness and grudges with grudges. You bit me, so I definitely have to make you pay the price."

"You're not going to bite me too, are you?!" The girl's eyes were full of terror.

"Something like that, but I won't bite you until you bleed. Are you coming over? If not, I'm calling the Uncles in Hats."

"Don't. I'm coming."

The girl slowly approached. Shen Qian stood up. She was tall with an excellent figure. She extended an arm and closed her eyes, not daring to look. Because she had just been crying, her chest was still heaving.

"Turn your head toward me."

"Just bite me!"

"I told you to turn your head toward me."

Xie Wan obediently turned her head to face Shen Qian, but her eyes remained closed. It was obvious she was very afraid of pain.

"Mmph!!!"

When the soft sensation returned to her lips, Xie Wan's eyes widened again, and she quickly pushed Shen Qian away.

"You can't do this again!"

"Why not? This is the payment for biting me."
