Chapter 11

I clutched the hem of my clothes. Somehow, I instinctively closed my eyes. The scent of mint from Jiang Yi grew closer with each breath. My breathing became increasingly rapid. Faintly, I heard Jiang Yi murmur, “Impressive tactics.”

Me: “?”

Jiang Yi’s index finger touched the corner of my lips. His lips lightly brushed against them.

After what felt like an eternity, I heard Jiang Yi lean in and say, “Open your eyes.”

I opened my eyes and saw Jiang Yi’s smiling eyes. His words still echoed in my ears: “In the car later, you can kiss me and touch me as much as you want, until you’re satisfied.”

How come I hadn’t noticed Jiang Yi was so handsome before? The more I looked, the more handsome he seemed. He was incredibly handsome.

“Alright, alright, so the main mission tonight was to lure us here to kill us, right?” Gu Ran gritted his teeth and took a big gulp of wine. “No wonder you suddenly said you wanted to treat us to dinner. You planned this, didn’t you?”

“Eating here, and then suddenly telling me to go out and get takeout halfway through.”

“You’re too cunning.”

The bullet comments appeared again.

[So funny, a brother’s complaints are the most deadly.]

[The school queen was treated like a Japanese person by Jiang Yi, hahahahahahaha.]

[The female lead doesn’t know yet, Jiang Yi actually has a secondary account that has been friends with her for five years. He saw her post on Moments saying she was going out for barbecue, and to see her, he immediately treated an entire basketball team to barbecue, pretending it was a coincidence, but he had already planned it all.]

[Soon the female lead will return to the dorm and see what Jiang Yi had SF Express deliver to her – a Chanel 25 Kellys Pink bag. He couldn’t buy it domestically, so he had his parents buy it from abroad, just because the female lead liked a post about this bag on Xiaohongshu¹.]

[Enough! Leopard and cat, can I reincarnate now and still make it?]

I felt my brain capacity wasn’t enough. I had a few sips of beer at the table earlier and felt a little dizzy now. I stood up: “I’m finished eating, going to the restroom.”

As soon as I got to the restroom, I splashed water on my face. The dizzy feeling subsided a bit. The heat on my face still wouldn’t go down.

I pulled out my phone and saw a text message I’d received two hours ago. My eyes widened when I saw the content.

“I’m back in the country.”

“Near your school.”

“Can we meet?”
