Chapter 277 Charging Time (1)

Li Caiyi was so nervous now because he stood so close to her, almost pressing himself on her. A blush crept up her face as she kept her head on the stack of books.

"W-what some other things?" Li Caiyi asked in a stutter.

"I don't know. What do you want to do? We can finally be alone, after all." Dai Zhiqiang replied with a hint of mischief in his voice.

Li Caiyi gulped as her face heated up. Every time Dai Zhiqiang did this, she was the only one who got flustered while he was having fun teasing her.

It was unfair, especially considering how she should be the one with more experience here.

Thinking like that spurred a motivation to pay him back. Li Caiyi calmed down before she raised her head, so her gaze met his. Their faces were so close that Li Caiyi could see herself reflected in his widened eyes.

Eliciting a response from him made her more confident. She put her hand on his chest before smiling evilly.

"If it's you, I don't mind. You can do whatever you want."

Dai Zhiqiang was shocked. Utterly shocked by how Li Caiyi changed from a bashful doe to a seductive fox instantly. She confidently brushed her hand on his chest like trying to tempt him. Her touch was as light as a feather, making him unconsciously want to lean his body closer to her for more contact.

Dai Zhiqiang didn't know she had this alluring and mature side. He wasn't complaining, though. Because whether it was the angel version or devil version of her, he liked them all.

Li Caiyi smirked triumphantly, noticing that Dai Zhiqiang was dumbfounded by her advance.

Actually, she was relieved because, honestly, she wouldn't know what to do if he had no reaction, or worse, disgusted by her action.

She already had her small revenge, and she was content with it for now. With a sense of victory, she tried to retract her hand and laugh it away as a joke.

But before she could do so, he had pulled her hand that was on his chest forward, prompting her body to fall on him.

'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',

In a blink of eyes, she had wrapped tightly in his embrace. Her brain lagged as she couldn't comprehend the situation immediately.

"Zhi-Zhiqiang?!"

"I already said before, right? If you are too cute, then a guy will attack you. Did you forget that I'm also a guy? You brought this upon yourself."

Li Caiyi's heart skipped a beat, and it felt like her longing for him had finally been satiated. Only she knew how many times she had been thinking about Dai Zhiqiang in the past few days?

She slowly raised her arms and wrapped them around him too. It felt warm and secure, a comfortable feeling she always had whenever he was with her.

"I miss you. I'm glad you have returned." Li Caiyi muttered.

"Yeah, I'm happy now we can meet each other every day."

Dai Zhiqiang buried his face in her shoulders and greedily inhaled the feminine lavender fragrance he liked so much from her. "What shampoo are you using? It smells so good."

"Eh? Really? I just use regular shampoo from the department store."

"I like this smell. Don't change it."

Li Caiyi's face blushed even more now. He could feel he was too close to her neck to her comfort. Her whole body tensed when she recalled the last time he gave her a kiss mark on the neck. Not that she hated it, but still, they were in the school now!

"Zhi-Zhiqiang, we shouldn't do this here. This is the school," Li Caiyi said while trying to squirm away from her hold, but he refused to let her go.

"So it's fine if we aren't at the school? You like it when I hold you like this?"

How was she supposed to answer that?

'',

Li Caiyi's pride was hurt knowing she had been played by a teenage boy like this. Even if she lacked romantic relationship experience in her previous life, the disparity was too much.

"Don't tease me. I'm being serious. We shouldn't be doing this here."

"Answer my question, or we can stay like this until the exam is finished."

Li Caiyi couldn't see his face, but he could imagine he was smirking devilishly as she said that.

"Serious, what are you thinking? Someone can enter any minute and see us." Li Caiyi resorted to smacking him on the back now.

"Ugh!"

Li Caiyi's hand movement stopped when she heard a painful groan from him. She thought he was just playing with her, so she scoffed. "I didn't even hit you that hard, don't pretend. I won't be fooled."

Dai Zhiqiang didn't reply for a few moments, and it confused Li Caiyi, "Zhiqiang?"

"Yeah, you are right. That's a lie. It's because I need to charge myself before the exam. I want to stay like this longer."

"Well, me too, but we can save this for after school."

Dai Zhiqiang chuckled. "Oh? Are you inviting me to do anything I want to you after school? How bold and naughty, I like it."

"Stop saying things like that! Are you a playboy?"

"There's no way I'm saying this to other people. It's only for you. It's because it's you I can talk like this right now."

He was really smooth with his words. Each of them never failed to tug on her heartstring.

'He is Shen Qiang indeed,' Li Caiyi grumbled inwardly, feeling a mixture of happiness and vexation inside.

Thinking about Shen Qiang made her remember something. Wasn't he supposed to like someone around this time? Or was everything had been rewritten because she changed the past?

"Zhiqiang, can I ask you something?"

"Hm? What is it?"

"Have you liked another person before? I mean before you meet me." Li Caiyi asked hesitantly.

"I never had much interest in the opposite sex before. So the answer is no," Dai Zhiqiang replied immediately and decisively. There was no hesitation at all.

His quick answer eased her mind, but it also brought up more questions in her mind. "Since when did you start paying attention to me? I don't think we have interacted before Shenqiang's accident."

Dai Zhiqiang laughed when he heard that. "As expected, you don't remember at all."
