Chapter 145: Becoming More and More Fallen, But Not Realizing It
Some people have very tough mouths. Does that mean her mouth is soft?
Lin Yibai was getting frustrated. How did a small prank cause her to lose her first kiss?
This doesn’t make sense! It’s not fair!
The feeling of his lips on hers made her body shake slightly. Lin Yibai had imagined many times what it would feel like to slap other girls, but she never thought that one day it would be her, as a girl, being kissed by someone else!
"I, ah, you!!" Her lips trembled, trying to protest. She didn’t want this to happen!
Her head was buzzing, and she was still a little confused.
What should she do to punish this annoying rival now? But when she saw that they were alone in a room, sitting together on the same sofa, she suddenly calmed down.
She had to be careful. If she made him angry, it would be much worse than just a kiss. She was worried that things could get out of hand, but she didn’t want to lose control.
She clenched her teeth in anger and finally said, "You jerk!!"
Just those two words showed how ashamed and angry she felt. She really wanted to go up to him and tell him off. If she, Lin Yibai, won, she would be the best in the world, unbeatable.
But what if she lost?
Well, losing meant just that, she’d be defeated.
Wait, would losing mean something worse, like... pregnancy?
Calm down, calm down, she told herself. Impulsiveness is dangerous!
She didn’t want to think about losing, especially not like that. Of course, she wasn’t going to be nice to him. One hand was still holding her skirt, trying to hide the deepest secrets she had, and then she said coldly.
"Do you know what you’re doing, Xia? If I call the police, you won’t have a good time."
She was right, if she called the police, things would be over. But Xia Changyu didn’t care. If she really wanted to call the police, she would have done it by now. There was no point in waiting until now.
Their actions made Xia Changyu more certain that some people’s words might be tough, but their hearts were already changing.
So he said confidently, “You won’t do it.”
Lin Yibai glared at him and sneered, "You really want to die, don’t you?"
Xia Changyu answered, “You wouldn’t dare.”
Lin Yibai laughed in anger, then pretended to dial the phone. But when she looked at his confident face, she couldn’t do it anymore. She threw the phone on the sofa and yelled,
“What is wrong with you! I’m a girl! If I were any other girl, I would have called the police by now. You... you’re driving me crazy!”
Her emotions were like a rollercoaster. First embarrassed, then angry, then furious, and finally... helpless, feeling defeated.
She was starting to feel a bit like a girl. But that was something she couldn’t accept.
If she were still a guy, she would have punched him by now! She had never felt so humiliated.
As her mood fell further, suddenly, Xia Changyu said, “Sorry, I didn’t know my actions would cause you so much trouble. I will take responsibility.”
Huh, him? Was the annoying rival apologizing?
It made Lin Yibai’s heart feel strange. The feeling of defeat and helplessness was starting to fade. She had thought all guys were stubborn, and that Xia Changyu wouldn’t admit his mistakes. She didn’t know how to respond.
Then Xia Changyu kept going, “But Baiyi, you know, I really like you. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s that you’re just too cute!”
Lin Yibai: “Huh?”
Thump-thump-thump...
Damn it, why is my heart racing like this?!
Logic told her that all of this was just the sweet talk of her annoying rival, and she definitely shouldn’t believe him!
But in reality, her body and mind were enjoying it so much?
To put it simply, her body and mind were in conflict. Should she follow her heart’s desires or listen to her reasoning?
So, is there a way to make her body and mind align with logic, from a rational point of view?
Maybe it was a bit of self-deception, but after hearing her rival apologize first, Lin Yibai decided to follow her logic and said, “Even if you say that, I... I actually made mistakes too. If I wasn’t being reckless, I think... this wouldn’t have happened.”
Xia Changyu took control of the situation and said, “But it already happened.”
Lin Yibai shook her head, “Then let's just pretend it never happened. As long as we forget about it.”
Xia Changyu replied, “I’m a responsible person.”
Lin Yibai was annoyed, thinking, Wow, now you're putting all the responsibility on me? Your motives are obvious to anyone.
But the mood lightened a little. As Xia Changyu continued talking, getting more ridiculous and almost thinking of their baby names, Lin Yibai quickly stood up and interrupted him.
She went to the small kitchen and said, “Let’s end this conversation here! I don’t want you to bring it up again, okay... Did you eat yet? I bought some noodles this morning. I’ll cook some for you.”
She quickly prepared two shrimp, two fish balls, and a fried egg, then boiled some noodles in hot water, adding some small bok choy at the end. It wasn’t anything fancy, but it was simple and tasty.
Xia Changyu was in a good mood now, and he ate happily.
Because he knew that once you move from 0 to 1, it’s the hardest part, but after that, things get easier. He felt like his strategy for Lin Yibai was finally on track.
Guys who like girls aren’t afraid of hard work. They’re not afraid of being tired.
Even if there’s a mountain in the way, or even ten thousand mountains, there are still many who will keep going.
But what guys are afraid of is having no response at all. Now, Lin Yibai’s feelings were starting to show.
At that moment, Lin Yibai gave the "leave now" order and said, “Hurry up and eat, then you should leave.”
Xia Changyu replied, “Okay.”
He had already gained a lot, so he knew he couldn’t expect everything at once. It’s important to know when to stop and not push too far.
He hadn’t even smelled enough of the scent in Lin Yibai’s room, and now he had to leave?
But it didn’t matter, he thought. There would be more progress next time.
With a happy mood, Xia Changyu picked up his umbrella and walked into the rain of the typhoon.
Lin Yibai, after closing the door, thought for a long time. She asked herself, ‘Am I being too harsh? After all, it was me who started playing with fire, so I can’t blame anyone for losing control afterward. Now I’m even asking him to leave.’
After thinking for a while, she felt a little guilty. If it really felt wrong, maybe she should walk him out? It wasn’t far anyway, and it would be polite.
Thinking of this, Lin Yibai quickly grabbed her little broken umbrella. An old, bent folding umbrella, and rushed to open the door, calling out, “Wait, I’ll walk you out!”
Xia Changyu: “Oh?”
Was this what they meant by a sharp tongue but a soft heart?
Her words were sharp, yet that mouth is so sweet and soft. Just a little taste and it leaves an unforgettable aftertaste.
Lin Yibai was also being silly. Becoming more and more lost, but not realizing it?
