Xia Weiliang emerged from the coffee shop, still glancing back periodically.
It wasn't that she was being disloyal, it was just... she couldn't bring herself to scam a child!
Just as she was about to call Liu Yaozong, a familiar white RV pulled up in front of her.
The car door opened, and upon seeing the person inside, she gasped, "Teacher Xiao!"
Xiao Yi, dressed in a black suit, white shirt, and bow tie, looked at her with a smile, as if bathed in sunlight.
He raised his hand, palm up, beckoning her over.
Xia Weiliang looked around, then quickly crouched down and got into the car. Yan Zhi and Da Yang greeted her, "Niangniang! Long time no see!"
"Second Brother, Da Yang, you've gotten even handsomer!"
Both men simultaneously touched their hair and replied, "Just so-so~"
Xia Weiliang felt a surge of affection seeing them and turned to meet the gaze of the man beside her. Her face involuntarily flushed.
At the same time, she berated herself mercilessly in her mind—
Look at your pathetic resolve!
What kind of situation is this? After seeing the stunning beauty of Xi Chi, haven't you built up any immunity?
Da Yang drove, and Yan Zhi, ever considerate, immediately lowered the partition.
Perhaps it was the intensity of his gaze, but Xia Weiliang’s eyes darted around, too shy to look at him.
"Are you going to some event?"
"Mm, an awards ceremony for a platform." His voice was laced with a smile.
See through it, but don't say it.
"It's the end of the year, so there are indeed many platform events..." Xia Weiliang's smile felt fake even to herself.
Her chin was suddenly cupped, and she turned back in a daze.
Her soft lips were abruptly crushed, his scent filling her nostrils – possessive, persistent.
He kissed her with great force, unrestrained, a release after a period of suppression.
Though their relationship was understood between them, their actual intimacy had only been that one moment of losing control. Afterward, their interactions had been very proper, especially Xiao Yi, who was very fond of her but also very restrained.
Yet today, he seemed to carry too much, unable to resist venting some extreme emotion the moment he saw her.
Xia Weiliang felt a dizzying haze. Her hands instinctively pushed against his chest, the warmth in her palms making her heart flutter...
The hand gripping her waist tightened, as if struggling, but ultimately, it insidiously slid under her top...
Xia Weiliang gasped, her face flushing, her heart pounding, and she pushed him away, "Teacher Xiao! You—"
Xiao Yi stared at her with his dark eyes, his breathing a little rapid, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, his eyes filled with forcefully suppressed emotions.
Xia Weiliang froze.
After a two-second pause, she slowly spoke, "What... have you been busy with lately?"
Her not asking didn't mean she hadn't noticed his unusual busyness these past few days, yet his public exposure had decreased. Unless it was a necessary event, he absolutely refused to appear.
If it were simply fatigue, she wouldn't have asked if he didn't say anything.
But he was utterly abnormal today, unlike himself. She suddenly wanted to know what had been happening during this time.
Xiao Yi breathed heavily, trying to compose himself. He rested his forehead on her shoulder and, after a long moment, calmed down.
Looking at her again, he half-closed his dark eyes, tucked a strand of hair from her cheek behind her ear, and said, "Give me some more time."
"...You said that last time too." Xia Weiliang frowned, looking at him, and then suddenly asked, "Do you have another dog?"
He chuckled and unceremoniously pinched her nose. "With you being so formidable, who would dare get close to me?"
"Me, hmph." She put on a fake smile. "Don't change the subject. My intelligence won't allow it."
He cupped her chin and kissed her lips again, his arm wrapping around her shoulder, pulling her into his embrace. He said lazily, "Just this one."
"Heh, I hope that's the case. If I find out you're not upholding the virtues of a man, I'll..."
"What?"
He was very interested in her answer, tilting his head, his eyes sparkling with a smile unseen for a long time.
"I'll..." Xia Weiliang gritted her teeth and glared at him. "I'll make it so you can't get out of bed for three days!"
Xiao Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"You said that?"
"Did... did I say that?"
Xia Weiliang's gaze involuntarily drifted down, then further down, until she saw the area between his suit pants. In an instant, she realized she had indeed walked right into it.
Xiao Yi was in a good mood, pinching her face and warning her with a grin, "You promised three days. Not an hour, not a minute, not a second less is allowed!" Sudian Fiction Network
Xia Weiliang wriggled free and immediately tried to backtrack, "That was a hyperbole, a rhetorical flourish meant to exaggerate... you know?"
"Heh, don't give me that nonsense. I'm just waiting for you to make me unable to get out of bed."
"..."
Xia Weiliang lowered her eyes and muttered softly.
"What did you say?"
His ears were sharp, and upon hearing it, he was amused to the point of anger.
"Say that again."
"...I'm not saying it."
Xiao Yi leaned forward, pinning her between the seatback. "You're absolutely right. I've been holding back for too long."
Xia Weiliang stared at him blankly, her face heating up as if she could spontaneously combust.
Her ears buzzed, as if fireworks were bursting, one cluster after another.
This... this is a crime!
She suddenly turned away, her cheeks wishing they could burrow into the seat. "Teacher Xiao, your demeanor! Where is your scholarly demeanor?!"
He couldn't care less, nor did he feel the need for thick skin with her. He furrowed his brows and said impatiently, "I'm an adult, and I'm healthy. It's normal to have needs. Do you really think what you girls call 'asceticism' means having no desire?"
He pinched her cheek again. "Are you stupid? There's no such thing as being ascetic; there are only those who can't!"
"Ahhhhhh! Stop talking!"
Xia Weiliang felt like her whole body was about to ignite. "You have desires, you have desires, you have desires! You're capable, you're capable, you're capable!"
"Heh," he watched her with an amused smile. "Then when will you satisfy them?"
Xia Weiliang took a sharp breath. "This... isn't this question supposed to be answered with longing gazes... and then, when emotions are intense, things just naturally progress? Why must you say it so crassly?"
"Crass?"
Xiao Yi frowned, then narrowed his eyes. "Come on, tell me, what's crass about me reacting to a woman I like?"
"It's just... it lacks artistry!"
Xia Weiliang felt an inexplicable blockage in her chest. Forgetting her shyness, she yelled at him irritably, "Women have expectations about these things! Why do you have to be so blunt? Can't you leave some room for imagination?"
Xiao Yi was amused. "Oh? What expectations?"
"Big tools, good performance! Never-ending stamina!"
After shouting that, Xia Weiliang finally calmed down.
Alright, please open a car window, she wanted to jump out directly.
"Big tools... good performance? Never-ending... stamina?"
He murmured the words, chuckling.
"Um... Teacher Xiao, I can explain. 'Qi' here doesn't refer to that 'qi'..."
"Then whose 'qi' is it?" Xiao Yi pinched her face. Xia Weiliang pursed her lips and dared not struggle.
"The 'golden spear,' right?" He smiled charmingly, grinding his molars. "Heh heh... Xia Weiliang, you're finished."
