【Why are the other three male leads following too? What about our Female Lead Baby? Are they just leaving her there?】
【After that stunt the female supporting character pulled, of course they’d be curious to see what’s going on.】
【As expected, she got away with it again. So annoying!】
Tear stains still lingered on Li Si’s face, her lashes damp, her eyes shimmering with moisture. Under the lights, they glinted like the fire of gemstones.
It wasn’t just her eyes—her entire face, down to every strand of hair, was as exquisite as a work of art.
Unbelievably beautiful.
Shen Xingye and the other two stared at her, partly stunned by her beauty, partly curious about who she was.
Lu Wenxi certainly couldn’t tolerate people gawking at her so brazenly. He immediately pulled up her hood to cover her face, then scooped her up like a child.
“Whatever this is, we’ll deal with it tomorrow. She’s not feeling well—we’re heading back first.”
Without waiting for their reaction, he strode off with Li Si in his arms.
On the way home, Lu Wenxi drove with a blank expression, not saying a single word.
Li Si sat in the passenger seat, not even daring to breathe loudly.
She knew she had stepped hard on his landmine this time.
The original plan was to fake fainting, but seeing how angry Lu Wenxi was, she’d instinctively wanted to explain and completely forgot about it.
Faking a faint now would be too abrupt—if she got exposed, it would only make Lu Wenxi angrier.
But looking on the bright side, she had successfully prevented Lu Wenxi’s first meeting with the Female Lead. Did that mean she no longer had to worry about being abandoned in the future?
Sure, she’d made him angry, but the result was good. The risk was worth it!
Before Li Si could enjoy her happiness for long, the bullet chat started scrolling again.
【So infuriating, the female supporting character completely ruined the male and female leads’ first meeting.】
【They didn’t even get to exchange a single word!】
【My CP! Torn apart just like that!】
【They won’t be torn apart that easily. Before long, our Female Lead Baby is transferring to Lawinston Academy!】
【They’ll see each other every day then. Let’s see how the female supporting character messes that up!】
No way?!
Li Si’s vision went dark. She had already infuriated Lu Wenxi by sneaking out this time—if they saw each other every day, how was she supposed to stop it?
But more important than things that hadn’t happened yet was soothing the Lu Wenxi in front of her.
She spoke up cautiously: “Wenxi, are you angry?”
“We’ll talk when we get home.”
Lu Wenxi was in a terrible mood right now and couldn’t guarantee he could speak to her calmly.
Keep in mind—just one glimpse of her through a phone video call and Si Yueying had become obsessed with her. Now she had appeared in person in front of so many people. How many more would covet her?
The mere thought of people imagining her face, her fair, slender legs, fantasizing about certain scenarios, made him so furious he wanted to kill.
Li Si had no idea what he was thinking and assumed he was angry about her following him.
She began drafting a speech in her head: she’d say she cared about him too much, that she couldn’t help following him because she was afraid he’d secretly go meet other girls.
After they got home, Li Si started explaining.
“Wenxi, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have followed you, but I was just so scared. You snuck out while I was asleep…”
“Mm, let’s not talk about that. Go take a bath first.”
Lu Wenxi’s tone was calm, sounding as if he’d already cooled off, and Li Si relaxed.
She filled the bathtub with water, and just as she was about to undress and get in, Lu Wenxi brazenly pushed the door open and walked in.
Li Si jumped in fright and exclaimed in shock, “Wenxi, how did you get in?!”
Wasn’t he the one who told her to take a bath? What was he doing coming in here?
Lu Wenxi replied, “I’ll help you wash.”
“Huh?”
“I’ll help you bathe. Go on, take your clothes off!”
Seeing that he didn’t seem to be joking, Li Si weakly refused, “That’s really not necessary, I can do it myself.”
“No need to be polite with me. I’ll help you.”
With that, he reached out to pull down the zipper of her dress.
Although the two of them were always cuddling and being very affectionate at home, helping her bathe was still going too far—Li Si hadn’t mentally prepared herself for this.
She refused shyly, “Really, you don’t have to. I can wash myself.”
“Don’t be shy. While you were unconscious, I was the one who wiped down your body. I’ve seen your body plenty of times already—one more time won’t make a difference.”
!!!
Li Si’s face flushed bright red. This was the first time she’d heard of such a thing.
While she was still in shock, she felt a sudden chill on her body and realized her clothes had already been removed.
Lu Wenxi frowned and urged her on, “Stop dawdling, the water will get cold.”
He looked completely serious, as if bathing her was the most natural thing in the world.
Li Si certainly didn’t think it was natural. Panicking, she scrambled into the bathtub, leaving only the top of her head visible as she blew bubbles.
Before she could even calm down, she saw Lu Wenxi starting to take off his own clothes.
“What are you taking your clothes off for?”
“To wash together, of course. The tub is big enough for both of us.”
This was way too much. Li Si lowered her head, not daring to look at him. By the time she came back to her senses, Lu Wenxi had already slipped into the bathtub, pressing right up against her back.
[Holy crap! Why do I suddenly feel like the Male Lead is a bit of a pervert?]
[He actually wiped down the female supporting character’s body, and now they’re bathing together! What happened to double purity?!]
[The Male Lead is tainted. Let’s swap him out for a new Male Lead!]
[This is way more stimulating than kissing!]
[I told you already—he treats the female supporting character like a pet. It’s like giving a pet a bath.]
[Exactly! She’s completely naked and he didn’t even react. That just proves he has no feelings for her!]
Li Si’s back was pressed against his burning-hot chest, and there was a distinctly different sensation against her waist.
This… this is really “no feelings”?
She was so nervous she didn’t dare move a muscle, her whole body rigid.
Seeing that even her ears had turned completely red, Lu Wenxi chuckled softly, “Sisi, you need to get used to this kind of thing soon.”
“I-I-I…”
She simply couldn’t handle such a heart-racing scene. Her head grew hot, and she actually fainted.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After that whole fiasco, Shen Xingye had lost his mood for the celebration banquet, and he headed back early with Tang Yi, Si Yueying, and the others.
The three of them went to Shen Xingye’s place.
Shen Xingye said with a displeased look, “That punk Wenxi, eating so well behind our backs.”
Tang Yi also smiled without any warmth in his eyes, “And all that talk about a stray cat. Does he think he can fool us like idiots?”
Si Yueying chimed in sarcastically, “He picked up such a gorgeous woman and took her home. No wonder he’s been so secretive, running home every couple of days. And he lied to me, saying she was just a stranger—clearly he’s treating us like outsiders.”
The three of them were practically sour to death.
Just thinking about how Lu Wenxi was hiding such a rare, peerless beauty at home—someone he could do whatever he pleased with—stirred up an indescribable, nameless rage inside him.
Something this good—how could he be allowed to keep it all to himself?
