118: Methods to calm down

Originally, Shi Xu had planned to educate her properly once she came out of the Spatial Realm, but now... before he could even finish, she resorted to such a method.

Yet, Shi Xu found himself completely unable to resist her actions.

Shi Xu silently watched Su Mianmian, neither speaking nor making any moves for a while.

Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu's calm expression and silently swallowed.

Eye attacks aren't working; it seems other methods are needed.

Thinking this, Su Mianmian's eyes turned to Shi Xu's mouth.

Shi Xu's lips were very beautiful, thin and glistening slightly. Perhaps due to his current irritation, he kept his lips lightly pursed, giving him an impression of both vulnerability and stubbornness.

Looking at those soft and tempting lips, Su Mianmian felt an urge to kiss them.

Once the thought took hold, Su Mianmian could no longer control herself.

Her heart rate involuntarily quickened, and her cheeks flushed faintly.

Su Mianmian quietly swallowed again, but this time it wasn't as innocent as before.

The previous swallow was due to thirst; now... Su Mianmian's gaze was magnetically drawn to Shi Xu's lips, unwilling to move away.

Shi Xu was unaware of Su Mianmian's little thoughts; he was still resisting her 'interference' at the moment.

He didn't want to miss this opportunity to educate her.

Just as Shi Xu was deep in thought, Su Mianmian had slowly drawn closer to him.

She strained to stand on her tiptoes. She was so close to Shi Xu that she could almost feel his warm breath caress her cheek.

An indescribable ambiguous atmosphere had permeated the air at some point.

Su Mianmian held her breath, parted her red lips slightly, and prepared to surprise Shi Xu.

And Shi Xu happened to look down at her just then, which gave Su Mianmian the perfect opportunity.

Su Mianmian's sudden kiss caught Shi Xu a little off guard.

He stared with a dazed expression.

Su Mianmian's lips pressed against his thin ones, without any further movement.

She seemed a little lost, unsure of what to do next.

Shi Xu reacted quickly. Feeling Su Mianmian's confusion, a knowing smile flickered in his deep eyes.

Su Mianmian felt that merely pressing their lips together wasn't very interesting, so she tentatively bit Shi Xu's thin lip.

Shi Xu hadn't expected her to do that. Unprepared, he couldn't help but let out a pained "hiss" when she bit him.

Hearing Shi Xu's pained sound, Su Mianmian instinctively wanted to pull away from his lips.

But how could Shi Xu let go of such a rare opportunity?

It was Su Mianmian's first time actively kissing him, and Shi Xu would never let her go so easily.

Shi Xu noticed her intention to escape. He reached out and held her close, pulling his lips slightly away from hers. A wicked smile played on his lips as he alluringly said, "Don't know how to kiss? I'll teach you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Xu's dominant and irresistible kiss descended upon Su Mianmian.

Su Mianmian was forced to tilt her face up. In her daze, she felt Shi Xu's lips press against hers like a storm, carrying an undeniable force and deep affection.

More subtly, it seemed to carry a hint of helplessness.

Su Mianmian had no mind to ponder why he kissed her with a hint of helplessness; she had no capacity for thought at all right now.

Shi Xu had only kissed her a few times, but she felt he was very skilled.

As soon as their lips met, Shi Xu's tongue deftly parted her teeth, intertwining with hers, both dominant and gentle.

At first, Su Mianmian still had some clarity, but then Shi Xu's kisses left her breathless. In her hazy state, she unconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck, completely lost in the kiss.

She felt her heart pound as if it were about to burst, and the sensation of it trying to leap from her chest made her feel a sudden fear.

Unbeknownst to her, two delicate red blushes had appeared on Su Mianmian's cheeks, looking exceptionally alluring.

Slowly, the air gradually filled with a hot and sweet aura. Su Mianmian and Shi Xu's figures intertwined in the dim light, lingering intimately, as if the whole world contained only the two of them.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Xu finally released Su Mianmian, looking utterly satisfied.

Su Mianmian wanted to push Shi Xu away, but as soon as she reached out to push him, she felt unsteady on her feet. Fearing a fall, she was forced to grab onto him again.

Shi Xu looked at her annoyed expression and couldn't help but laugh.

"Mianmian, is this a new way of pretending to push me away?"

"I like it very much."

Shi Xu took Su Mianmian's push as her little flirtation. Upon hearing him, Su Mianmian felt utterly speechless.

"Shi Xu, what are you talking about?"

"I just couldn't stand steadily, so I just grabbed you for a second."

"I don't have any little tricks. Don't talk nonsense."

Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu with a serious expression, refuting him with a displeased tone.

Unfortunately, her voice was hoarse, and her tone, when speaking, was full of a soft, gentle quality; at least, Shi Xu didn't think her tone was displeased.

Perhaps only Su Mianmian herself thought so.

Shi Xu reached out to her, and Su Mianmian instinctively tried to avoid him.

She was truly too afraid of Shi Xu, a little worried he wouldn't be restrained.

Shi Xu was momentarily stunned by Su Mianmian's evasive movement. He looked at her with a bewildered expression, then seemed to recall something and looked down, chuckling.

Su Mianmian looked at him worriedly, unsure why he was suddenly laughing.

Logically, since she had just pushed him away, he shouldn't be reacting like this, right?

Su Mianmian watched Shi Xu with a wary expression, as if she would bite him if he dared to reach out to her.

Her wariness was too obvious; how could Shi Xu not notice it at all?

"Alright, I won't touch you anymore."

"Mianmian, this is your first time actively kissing me, and I'm very happy."

"It would be great if I could receive such treatment often in the future."

Shi Xu looked at Su Mianmian with a satisfied expression, his tone full of anticipation.

Su Mianmian originally wanted to say "impossible," but looking at his expectant face, the thought of saying that vanished.

Saying that would probably make him too sad. Su Mianmian thought for a moment and decided a vague answer would be better.

Thinking this, Su Mianmian replied, "Depends on my mood."

Shi Xu nodded and said nothing more.

As Shi Xu's mood improved, Su Mianmian couldn't help but quietly let out a sigh of relief.

He hadn't had that expression when she arrived; sure enough, people are easier to appease when they're "fed," forgetting everything.

Su Mianmian secretly nodded, feeling that all the suffering she had just endured was gone.

"Shi Xu, I'm going to find my brother first."

"I don't know if he finished what I asked him to do yesterday."

"You rest well. Look at the dark circles under your eyes; I don't want to see them tomorrow."

"Understand?"

Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu with a serious expression, reminding him.

Shi Xu nodded, not refuting anything.

Being full was good; whatever Su Mianmian said, he agreed to.

Su Mianmian felt that such things might not be out of the question in the future; she seemed to have found a way to keep him from getting angry.

What she didn't know was that even if she didn't use this method, if she just acted a little more spoiled towards him, he wouldn't be able to resist either.

It just wouldn't be as fast as her current method.

After Su Mianmian left, Shi Xu raised a hand to touch his lips. He smiled, his lips curving upward several times, perhaps thinking of something or savoring a memory.

Su Jinxuan, at the door of Shi Xu's room, heard footsteps inside. He quickly moved to the other side and hid.

He saw Su Mianmian come out alone, and Shi Xu didn't follow. Only then did he appear before Su Mianmian.

Su Mianmian hadn't expected Su Jinxuan to suddenly appear. When she saw him, she was startled.

"Brother, where did you pop out from?"

"You scared me to death."

Su Mianmian patted her chest, looking at Su Jinxuan with an expression of being overly startled.

Su Jinxuan didn't speak. He looked her up and down, left and right, several times, then propped his chin and nodded, muttering to himself, "It seems Shi Xu is quite well-behaved."

Su Mianmian: "..."

If she didn't know what Su Jinxuan was doing outside by now, she'd be an idiot. She really hadn't expected Su Jinxuan to eavesdrop at someone's door.

Su Mianmian looked at Su Jinxuan and shook her head, utterly speechless.
