Hearing Li Jing read the punishment, everyone stared fixedly at Ling Wei to see how she would react. Su Mu, in particular, felt her eyes light up the moment she heard the penalty involved Ling Wei kissing her; her lips curled up as she looked at Ling Wei with sheer delight.
Facing Su Mu’s sparkling eyes, Ling Wei turned her head away, her expression cool. She kept her head down, staring at Su Mu’s hand, but her crimson ears betrayed the shyness in her heart.
After a moment of internal struggle, Ling Wei planned to turn her head suddenly and catch her off guard with a kiss. However, the moment she turned, she met Su Mu, who had been waiting there all along. Su Mu gave Ling Wei a sly wink and then closed her eyes. By the time Ling Wei regained her senses, she only remembered the soft, warm sensation on her lips and the slight flutter of Su Mu’s long eyelashes.
Seeing Su Mu’s tenderness and feeling the kiss from just now, Ling Wei’s gaze softened. Simultaneously, both of them spoke the words: “I like you.”
While the crowd was hooting, they felt a flicker of confusion: Ling Wei said “I like you” because of the game’s punishment, but what about Su Mu? However, Su Mu’s next move left everyone dumbfounded.
After Ling Wei said those words, Su Mu slowly leaned in for another kiss. Even though she knew Ling Wei said it because of the game, she was still extremely happy…
As their lips pressed together, Su Mu saw that there was no disgust or struggle in Ling Wei’s eyes only surprise and a fleeting joy. Feeling reassured, she stuck out her tongue, gently licking Ling Wei’s lips and lightly biting her lower lip to make her open up. Because Su Mu was very patient, Ling Wei forgot she was in a bar, forgot she was kissing in front of everyone, and slowly parted her lips to respond to Su Mu.
Su Mu poked her tongue inside, hooking around Ling Wei’s tongue in a gentle entanglement, licking the surroundings. One arm was wrapped around Ling Wei’s waist while the other hand held the back of Ling Wei’s head to facilitate a deeper kiss. Ling Wei, kissed until her face was flushed red, couldn’t help but let out a soft moan; she felt like she was floating, her mind going completely blank. It wasn’t until Ling Wei ran out of breath that Su Mu released her, though she kept holding her, letting Ling Wei lean against her to recover.
The surrounding crowd watched the Goddess’s kiss from start to finish, feeling like they had watched the blockbuster of the year. It felt so… exciting!
Su Mu let go of Ling Wei, looked straight into her eyes, and said in a gentle tone: “Weiwei, I feel like you’re my future wife. Do you want to be my girlfriend first to test it out?”
Though the language was simple, without any long-winded confession speech, Ling Wei looked at the nervousness in Su Mu’s eyes and the gentleness in her tone. She thought of the back of Su Mu’s figure running to save her back then; although she acted like a pervert sometimes, she was truly protective and caring. Ling Wei’s gaze grew increasingly soft.
Seeing that Ling Wei just stared at Su Mu without responding, the people nearby began to hoot. Various cries of “Say yes!” and “Kiss again!” rose one after another, causing the “Okay” that Ling Wei was about to say to be swallowed back down.
“Ding… Female lead’s favorability +6, currently 65.”
“Ding… Congratulations Host for gaining the female lead’s affection. Reward: 《Eighteen Stances of the Erotic Palace》.”
“Hehehe, Host, I specifically downloaded this from the system next door. I heard it’s a limited edition!” Detecting the joy in the female lead’s heart, the system happily issued the reward, its tone dripping with pride.
Su Mu: To ruin the atmosphere like this… do you expect me to praise you?
However, being interrupted by the system made Su Mu less nervous. Holding Ling Wei’s hand, she said to the classmates around them: “Thank you for your blessings. I have something to take care of, so I’ll be leaving first.” With that, she led Ling Wei out.
Nangong Shan: If you have something to do, go ahead, but why are you taking Xiao Wei with you?
Nangong Shan stared as Su Mu took Ling Wei away. His gaze was dark, and he wanted to speak up to stop them, but seeing that the reactions of the others weren’t very opposed, he decided to follow them out to talk.
Li Jing had been staring at Nangong Shan since Su Mu started her confession. Seeing his expression shifting between light and dark and noticing his intent to follow them, she directly blocked his path. She enthusiastically called out to the other students: “Hey… everyone look over here, we still have a handsome guy right here!”
Understanding Li Jing’s intention, everyone cooperated. Various drinks were brought out in turns. Because these people were all Ling Wei’s classmates, Nangong Shan found it difficult to refuse. He could only passively accept this “fake enthusiasm.” By the time he dazedly made it out the door, there was no sign of Su Mu or Ling Wei.
Meanwhile, Su Mu was walking along the roadside holding Ling Wei’s hand. There was a period of silence, but the atmosphere wasn’t too awkward. Just as Su Mu was about to say she was serious, a few hoodlums suddenly appeared.
Ling Wei looked at the hoodlums in front of her spouting nonsense while eyeing Su Mu and herself lecherously. She felt a wave of disgust, suddenly remembering those “Seven-Colored Hoodlums” from before; she clearly felt those robbers had been cuter.
Su Mu was internally refusing this. Why did the World Power always like to use hoodlums to catalyze feelings? Listening to the system say that tonight was originally meant for the male lead’s confession, where they would be surrounded by thugs and his “hero saving the beauty” act would further their relationship, Su Mu just wanted to sneer.
Despite her internal complaining, she grew alert when the hoodlums pulled out knives. She pulled Ling Wei behind her and looked at them calmly.
Wang Ba had gone gambling with a few brothers tonight and lost everything. He decided to take a risk and commit a robbery. He happened to see two “little ladies” wandering the streets. Though he knew two girls wouldn’t carry much money, he figured he’d give it a shot anyway.
He only pulled the knife to scare them. Who knew both girls were trained? Especially the tall one, her strength was inhuman. She grabbed one of his brothers and slammed him down so hard he couldn’t get back up. Wang Ba felt like he’d “walked into a dog’s sun” getting beaten while trying to rob women. The short one also knew a few moves but clearly wasn’t as formidable. After signaling his brothers to entangle the tall girl, he approached the short one with his knife, planning to seize the initiative.
Just as he was about to majestically display his eighteen martial arts skills, having already perfectly imagined this beauty being subdued and obediently calling him “Grandpa” while giving him money…
…he was pinned down by a group of bodyguards before he could even get close. Being dragged away before even making a statement was quite embarrassing, okay!
Say no more, his face hurts. These people only hit the face; it’s simply inhumane. Sigh…
Su Mu looked at this group of bodyguards who only showed up after the fight was over and didn’t know what to say.
Turning her gaze, she noticed Nangong Shan sitting in a car, seemingly waiting for Ling Wei. So, Su Mu stepped forward to take Ling Wei’s hand, intending to take her home.
To her surprise, Ling Wei shook off her hand and walked directly in the opposite direction. Su Mu’s heart twitched; thinking her actions had disgusted Ling Wei, she shamelessly tried to catch up, but Ling Wei simply ran away.
Su Mu lowered her head and stood at the corner, watching as Ling Wei walked further and further away from her.
