Chapter 67: A love story that makes my legs go Limp.

Chapter 67

Yu Na couldn't help but feel bewildered as she found herself inexplicably leaning in to kiss his Adam's apple.

It was because of that mole; she found herself strangely fond of it.

However, in the past, she would only dare to steal a quick glance before hastily averting her gaze.

But with just a light peck, Xiao Chen's expression noticeably darkened.

Unaware of his reaction, Yu Na asked innocently, "Did it cheer you up?"

Xiao Chen remained silent, his expression obscured by the warm yellow light in the car, his gaze deep and inscrutable.

Without looking at him, Yu Na attempted to open the car door.

But it wouldn't budge.

"Xiao Chen!"

Xiao Chen, mischievous at heart, enjoyed teasing her. Whenever she became annoyed or embarrassed in front of him, it was when he felt most triumphant.

However, this time was different. Yu Na merely pretended to be angry and called out his name, and Xiao Chen opened the car door for her.

"Let's go back."

Yu Na: ?

There was something odd about his tone, and he showed no intention of continuing their conversation.

With one hand on the steering wheel, it appeared that as soon as she got out of the car, he would drive away.

Yu Na sneakily glanced at him and asked, "Should I leave then?"

"Mm."

His attitude left her feeling uncertain, but she didn't ask further. Placing her hand on the door handle, just as she was about to open it, Xiao Chen suddenly grabbed her wrist.

A glimmer of anticipation welled up inside her. "What's wrong?"

"No staying up late."

"...Okay."

Back at home, she didn't even bother to take a shower. She sat on the couch, holding her phone and waiting for a message from Xiao Chen.

She carefully recalled the scene that had just unfolded.

She had only kissed his Adam's apple, and he had become peculiar—neither cold nor warm, nor particularly affectionate.

Mostly, it seemed unnatural.

Yu Na went online and searched: "Kissing a man's Adam's apple."

The first relevant search result was: "Why shouldn't you kiss a man's Adam's apple?"

Upon seeing this, Yu Na's heart skipped a beat.

Indeed, why shouldn't she?

Besides, even before falling in love or meeting Xiao Chen, including the years they were apart, she had zero interest in men, so she never bothered to explore such topics.

Trembling, Yu Na clicked on that search result.

The related pages loaded one after another.

A blunt answer caught her eye: "The Adam's apple is a sensitive area for men."

You shouldn't kiss it.

"............"

Eight words, each one hitting her like a heavy blow.

Coincidentally—or perhaps not—Xiao Chen's WeChat message suddenly popped up at that moment.

1: [Home now.]

Yu Na blushed and her heart raced. She took a deep breath and replied: [Okay.]

N: [You never say you miss me!]

C: [If I didn't miss you, why would I message you on WeChat?]

C: [Silly]

Yu Na smiled foolishly at her phone.

She really surrendered to him.

N: [I don't care, who dates without saying sweet nothings!]

C: [Sorry, I don't know how~~~]

Yu Na: ?

He used those three wavy lines so skillfully!

But then Xiao Chen gasped and admitted: [But I'll learn!]

Yu Na: "..."

C: [Just you wait]

...

That night, Xiao Chen sent a WeChat message to Han Chengxun: [Where did you learn those sweet nothings?]

Han Chengxun: [It's a natural talent, please don't try to imitate]

Xiao Chen scoffed: [I just wanted to remind you that your words are not only flirtatious but also cheesy]

Han Chengxun: [Better than making people drink scalding water like you do]

"..."

Xiao Chen thought he was unreliable, so he searched the internet, typed in "sweet nothings," and came across a particular entry that caught his attention: [Sweet Nothings That Make Your Girlfriend's Legs Weak]

Xiao Chen: "..."

He remembered the moment in the car when Yu Na kissed his Adam's apple.

Before he could make her legs weak, his own legs went weak.

He touched his Adam's apple and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his eyes.

Love can truly torment people.

Sigh.

Xiao Chen clicked on the page and carefully read through it, his brows furrowing as he encountered some rather corny lines. His mouth twitched.

He thought, what the hell... Can these lines really make someone's legs weak?

Not getting slapped right off the bat would be considered quite good.

But, it wouldn't do to just gross him out alone.

So the next day, Xiao Chen waited for Yu Na downstairs of Building Number One in Hua Ting, remembering a few of the cheesiest and greasiest love lines.

As he saw her hurriedly running towards him with small, quick steps, a mischievous smirk formed in Xiao Chen's heart.

Unaware of anything, Yu Na still held a pile of review materials and jogged up to him, saying, "Have you been waiting long?"

Instead of giving a direct answer, Xiao Chen first gave her a strange look. Then, standing in front of her, he mysteriously said, "You seem different today."

"Huh?" Yu Na had no idea about cheesy love lines and asked seriously, "What's wrong with me?"

She thought she might have something on her face and was about to take out her phone to check when he teasingly interrupted, "You look oddly beautiful."

Yu Na: "..."

Ignoring her speechless reaction, Xiao Chen continued, "My love for you is like a tractor climbing a mountain—"

Yu Na: "???"

Seeing her petrified in place, Xiao Chen's gaze turned playful, and he curved his lips, deliberately disgusting her in a calm and leisurely manner, "Majestic and passionate."

"............"
