Chapter 17

“So you admit it, huh?”

Duan Yutang’s heavy breathing came to an abrupt halt.

She shook her head in disbelief. “You did it on purpose?”

Chen Sui finally stood up.

“There are security cameras here. There’s no point in arguing anymore.”

“Duan Yutang, I don’t have any solid evidence, and besides, you were only twelve that year. Even if I handed you over to the police, with your parents protecting you, you wouldn’t be convicted of anything.”

Duan Yutang’s face was already deathly pale, her lips trembling.

But Chen Sui showed no sign of being moved and continued speaking.

“So, you’d better behave from now on. Don’t show up in front of me again. You don’t want me to disturb your parents with this, do you?”

Duan Yutang finally lowered her head in compromise.

Chen Sui and I sat on the sofa in my apartment, listening to him finish the story.

I didn’t believe Duan Yutang just left it at that.

She must have clung to Chen Sui and confessed her feelings a few more times.

It was probably just more of that ‘she’s the one who truly loves him’ stuff.

But he didn’t want to bother me with it, and I was happy for the peace and quiet.

Suddenly, I remembered something and tugged at his sleeve.

“Who looked like a peach?” I brought up an old grievance.

“Was my face really that red back then?”

Chen Sui curled his lips and nodded.

“…”

Great, our first kiss was not beautiful at all.

And I had a bright red face.

I sank into endless disappointment, not noticing Chen Sui leaning closer.

My face was caught off guard and got touched again.

I covered my face, turned my head, and glared at him. “Stop kissing me, it’s going to get red again!”

Chen Sui clicked his tongue lazily.

“If I don’t kiss you, who else would I kiss?”

As he spoke, he moved my hand away and kissed my left cheek.

“So what if it’s red? You look just like a peach, so cute.”

“…”

Clearly, Chen Sui likes peaches.

If my face keeps burning, it’ll turn into an apple soon.

I quickly buried myself in Chen Sui’s arms, pressing against his cool hoodie to cool myself down.

Chen Sui wrapped his arm around my shoulders and rubbed my ear.

“Do you have skin hunger or something? Always want to be hugged.”

I retorted in a small voice, not to be outdone.

“Then you must have a kissing addiction.”

Chen Sui admitted it quite frankly, “Can’t help it. Right now, besides kissing, there’s nothing else we can do.”

“…” Shut up, you pervert.

Chen Sui held me sideways on his lap, his head buried in the crook of my neck.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and muttered,

“Why aren’t you twenty yet?”

I blinked, unable to respond.
