— Do you want to try it?

Shen Li’s heart was beating fast, and her ears had turned slightly red.

She finally understood what he meant by a gift.

As he held her hand, the hot temperature spread along her skin, until her heart almost ignited.

The cool smell of cedar lingered in the air.

As if beyond her control, she reached her hand out and her slender fingertips easily hooked onto his belt.

The metal buckle was cold.

Lu Huaiyu’s breath momentarily froze, and he leaned forward with the movement of her hand.

The two of them were very close to each other, leaving only a square inch of space between them.

Shen Li raised her head slightly and leaned over to steady his lips.

He was exceptionally patient today, as if he were luring an enemy deep into his trap. After she had completely fallen in and sent herself forth, he began to draw the net in and trap her.

In the quiet room, only the staggered sounds of their hot and rapid breathing could be heard.

Shen Li had become a little oxygen-deprived from his kiss, and her mind was gradually becoming dizzy.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on her waist, as he lifted the hem of her hoodie.

His slightly calloused fingertips landed on her smooth and tender skin, instantly causing her to tremble slightly. Her slender waist subconsciously arched, and she leaned even closer to him.

Her legs felt a little weak, until all she could do was to cling to his lean waist.

Her hand continued to linger on the cold belt buckle.

Lu Huaiyu pressed her against the door and kissed her even more deeply.

Shen Li’s hand fumbled without any clear plan, but for a long time, she could not undo the belt buckle. Instead, her hands accidentally brushed against his firm and strong abs under his thin shirt.

Lu Huaiyu’s entire body tensed up as his hands seemed to be on fire, burning any place that they landed.

He held his breath and turned his head slightly to retaliate by nibbling on her delicate earlobe and said hoarsely,”Are you doing that on purpose? Hmm?”

Shen Li opened her watery peach-shaped eyes, the ends of her eyes having become red from his kiss. Her voice was soft, with a hint of confusion and grievance.

“… I can’t undo it…”

Why was this belt buckle so difficult to undo?

Shen Li fiddled with it for a long time but failed, so she simply gave up.

Just as she was about to let go, Lu Huaiyu chuckled.

“Why do you have to be taught everything?”

As he said this, his hand came over again.

He held onto her hand, felt around a particular spot, and gently unhooked it.

Click.

It was an extremely subtle sound.

Shen Li’s eyes widened slightly.

It had been so simple, then why had she kept–

She could not help but lower her head to look.

Noticing her gaze, Lu Huaiyu felt as if the bowstrings in his mind were in danger.

He gritted his teeth slightly before suddenly raising his hand to cover her eyes. Then, he forced her to raise her head to kiss him again.

Everything was dark in front of him. His voice was very soft, but it sounded especially hoarse.

“… Shen Tangtang, what are you looking at?”

Shen Li’s face instantly turned hot.

“No, I…”

She had just wanted to see the belt buckle…

This struggle to explain was swallowed up by him, turning into a blurred syllable.

After some time had passed, Lu Huaiyu finally let go of her and used his last bit of rationality to restrain himself from kissing the space between her eyebrows.

Shen Li moved closer to embrace him and murmured accusingly, “Weren’t you the one who told me to try…”

Lu Huaiyu finally knew what it felt like to dig a hole for himself.

He could not help but laugh.

“Shen Tangtang, this is too tempting for you.”

He stepped back slightly, cupped her chin, bent over slightly, and looked into her eyes.

The lights were bright, making the greed and desire in his deep eyes obvious.

He then spoke in a low husky voice.

“But, I can’t resist the temptation any more than you can, understand?”

His little girl was still too young.

Originally, he had only wanted to tease her, but in the end, he was the one who suffered.

Shen Li kissed the side of his face, nodded obediently, and hooked his finger.

“Got it, Lu Huaiyu.”

…

Lu Huaiyu sent her back to school. When he left, she was left holding a few gift bags in her hands. He had indeed prepared gifts for her, but whether these gifts had been important enough to make a special trip here… It was hard to say if it had truly been important enough to delay her for such a long time.

…

The next day was a Saturday. After Shen Li finished with her exams, she could finally relax a little and slept in until 9:30 am.

After waking up, she washed up briefly and changed her clothes.

The weather in the Capital had gradually warmed up. In addition, she had never been afraid of the cold, so she wore much lighter and thinner clothes. She put on a white hoodie, a black casual coat, and a pair of black Martin boots on her feet, which made her look even more slender and tall.

Xue Langlang looked over and casually asked, “Ah Li, are you going out?”

“Yes.”

She picked up a black baseball cap and casually put it on her head.

“I’m going out to play.”

…

LY training base.

A few members of the team had just finished a wave of physical training and come over to the rest area.

Ron looked at Ji Shu and asked, “Ji Shu, why are you so happy today?”

Ji Shu sat down casually on the chair and picked up his phone with one hand. He raised his eyebrows when he heard the question.

“Sister Li is coming today.”

Ron understood and instantly became interested.

“Oh, she finally has some time now?”

Ji Shu snorted and put a hand on his shoulder.

“Of course. Sister Li was busy with exams for the past few days. Tsk, she applied for exemption in fourteen courses!”

If he had this ability, why would he skip classes and faiuniversity coursesersity?

Ron also choked before slowly giving a thumbs up.

“Great! The ability of a ‘God of Learning’ is really not something that we mortals can imagine.”

He raised his chin.

“Hey, how long until Sister Li arrives?”

“Soon, in about fifteen minutes.” Ji Shu put away his phone and stood up. “I’ll go to pick her up.”

Ron also stood up.

“I’ll go with you.”

Just as the two of them were about to walk over, a young boy in a racing uniform suddenly came over.

“Captain! Ji Shu! The head coach wants everyone to gather.”

The other drivers who were present were the team’s substitute drivers. All of them stood up when they heard the voice.

Ji Shu did not even turn his head.

“Tell him that I’m not free!”

How could listening to that idiot talking be more important than picking up Sister Li?

The boy was instantly put in a difficult position.

The whole of LY knew that Ji Shu and Doyle did not get along. One of them was the team’s most promising rookie driver, while the other was the head coach that the company had spent a lot of money to hire. He could not afford to offend either of them.

Ron looked at him and said, “Then, I’ll take everyone over first.”

The boy finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, Ron was the team captain. If he could bring the others over, it would look better for everyone.

As for Ji Shu… This was not the first time he had gone against Doyle, so they would just have to leave it at that.

Even the manager and coach could not control him, let alone the others.

Ji Shu waved his hand and walked towards the door.

…

“Where’s Ji Shu?”

The tone of Doyle’s voice was cold and harsh as his gaze swept over the crowd and noticed that Ji Shu was nowhere in sight.

Ron said, “Coach, he went to pick Shen Li up.”

Doyle was unimpressed by the name Shen Li.

He sneered.

“Is that the one with the highest absenteeism rate?”

No one’s talking.

He flung his thing in his hand onto the table, with the tip of his tongue pressed against the inside of his cheek.

“Bad attitude, no ability, and quite ostentatious. Why don’t I go and welcome her personally?”
