Chapter 190

A few days ago, the man who would get tangled up over the terms "solemn" and "strict" now looked like a different person.

Head bowed slightly, long lashes lowering, he stared at his phone screen for a long time.

Faced with the clearly derogatory words "hypocritical lecher", he didn't get annoyed at all.

On the contrary, the corners of his lips curved up slightly, and his brow tips lifted, very smug.

Sunlight slanted through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the study.

Bathing his handsome profile in a layer of golden yellow.

It was as if his heart was also caressed by the sunlight.

Warm and soft all over.

After a while, the man's slender and bony hand finally moved.

He gently tapped to reply, shamelessly acting dumb.

Qi Mo: "Then next time teach me how you prepare your lessons."

The message was sent.

Without waiting for a reply, he sent another one.

Responding to Sheng Mumu's evaluation of him as "hypocritical lecher".

Qi Mo: "Like?"

On the second floor on the other side.

Sheng Mumu went straight from the study into the master bedroom's bathroom.

Facing the mirror, she tidied up her rumpled clothes around her waist.

Her eyes suddenly froze.

She was shocked to discover two red marks on her clavicle.

Sheng Mumu: !!!

The scene of the two in the study just now suddenly flashed through her mind—— It started out as just kissing.

The man's head gradually buried into her neck.

Suddenly, the hand clasped around her waist rubbed a few times.

He lifted her up again.

Their breathing intertwined, heat rising steadily.

Then hugging her, he kissed her all the way from the desk to the sofa.

By the time she realized it, she was already calmly placed on the sofa.

Her heart raced like a drum.

Her thoughts were completely occupied by the man leaning down towards her.

Her throat tightened.

A sentence was forcibly split into three sections before she said it all:

"Is this...preparing...lessons?"

The man seemed oblivious, and didn't say a word.

As if her whispering voice had plucked his heartstrings.

Suddenly one arm braced up, directly facing her.

Sheng Mumu's long lashes quivered as she looked back.

Desire stained the man's deep and dark pupils.

Making them murky, seductive.

She could clearly feel the hand clasping her waist, sending heat through her clothes.

Hotter and hotter, burning unbearably. She is an adult.

The natural development of intimacy between men and women did not overtly repulse her.

She also knew.

That now, here.

Nothing would really happen between them.

But even knowing all that.

She still shyly averted her eyes.

Too embarrassed to continue facing the man's intent gaze.

She could dodge the line of sight, but not the suffocating manly aura enveloping her.

His face got closer and closer, leaning down.

Something soft brushed her lips.

Causing her heart to tremble uncontrollably.

Two patches of red deepened on her fair face.

In a daze, the hand placed on her waist rubbed unintentionally.

Sheng Mumu's heart thumped extremely fast as she closed her eyes.

Tacitly permitting the man's hand slowly trailing down.

Recalling it all now.

Sheng Mumu's face was overwhelmed with heat waves.

In the mirror, her face was as red as could be.

She frowned staring at the red marks on her collarbone for a few seconds.

Inwardly scolding to herself:

Shouldn't have called this man an old fox.

He clearly belongs to the dog category!

She cupped some water to wash her face, cooling down her cheeks a little.

Only having sobered up a bit by the cold water, upon seeing Qi Mo's reply on the screen her face flushed again ——

Qi Mo: "Like?"

Sheng Mumu had red ears, brows knitted slightly: ???

Hey no...

Why didn't I realize earlier this man is so subtly flirtatious?!

Not only did he not think "hypocritical lecher" was an insult, he even seems very proud?

Sheng Mumu didn't have time to wipe the water droplets from her hands.

Pursed her lips tightly, fingers sliding across the screen.

Searching in her Favorites folder for a suitable reaction gif to respond with.

Buzz buzz——

The man standing by the window felt his palm buzz, lowering his eyes to look at the screen.

Sheng Mumu: "You're so flirtatious gif (Hong Shi Xian version)"

The man froze for half a second.

A wisp of sly smiling meaning imperceptibly unfurled in his ink-colored pupils.

*

In stark contrast to Qi Mo and Sheng Mumu utilizing "lesson preparation" time to date——was Cheng Zhuo and Qiao Li.

Their age was barely younger than Qi Mo and Sheng Mumu's.

Yet when it came to romance, they were extremely similar to contemporary college students.

Their focus was announcing it to the world, with all kinds of tricks.

Just randomly browse either one's Moments.

And you could follow their relationship progression as if watching a drama.

Entering hungry but leaving with a mouthful of dog food, burping all the way.

As Qiao Li's maternal aunt, Feng Yaoqin deeply appreciated the young couple distributing sugar. And took on the role of dog food follower team captain in the family group chat.

As always, her opening remarks carried strong personal characteristics.

【Group Assembly, Radish Meeting (6)】

——【Feng Yaoqin:[Pray] Greetings as light as a feather, care as deep as the ocean[Heart], the feelings between loved ones touches the soul.[Coffee cup][Flowers]】

——【Feng Yaoqin:@Qiao Li, Li Li, auntie wishes your love goes smoothly, be happy every day[Flowers], share more sweetness with us[Smile][Smile][Smile]】

The elderly lady in Germany seeing the messages stirred up trouble in the group chat.

After sending a few thumbs up emojis, she also sent a voice message. Expressing her greatest joy at seeing the younger generations pairing up.

At that time, Qiao Li happened to be with Cheng Zhuo.

They had just finished playing badminton, sitting by the court resting.

Qiao Li pulled Cheng Zhuo over, and casually took a selfie of their heads leaning against each other, both red-faced and drenched in sweat.

He posted it in the group chat.

——【Qiao Li:[Picture]】

——【Qiao Li: Hehe, since you guys love seeing, then I'll post every day.】

Very quickly pop-up replies came below.

——【Feng Yaoqin:[Clap][Clap][Clap]】

——【Feng Yaoqin: Great job exercising, more exercise retains youthful vigor[Sun]】

The elderly lady held her phone further away, squinting to take a look.

A smile spread on her kind face.

But suddenly seeming to remember something, her eyes slowly lit up.

Her index finger slid on the screen.

She hand wrote her reply:

——【Little Dot's Grandma: Big Dot, Mumu, how come I haven't seen you two go out dating? 】

——【Little Dot's Grandma: Even after getting married, you should still go out more often, don't stay cooped up at home all day. 】

——【Little Dot's Grandma: Bring Little Dot along too, he doesn't like basking in the sun, needs more sun.】

The young man named Qi Shaobai grasped his pen, his hand pausing as he glanced towards the phone screen popping up a prompt.

He had set a special reminder for grandma.

As long as grandma made a peep in the group, he'd definitely see it first thing.

His originally cool and aloof brows instantly softened, sweeping away all vexation over not solving math problems.

Qi Shaobai lifted his head to sneak a peek at his dad's back by the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Pursed his lips, deciding not to be the electric light bulb for dad and little stepmom.

He replied:

——【Qi Shaobai: Grandma, in a couple days I'm going out with classmates to play basketball, will definitely get enough sun.】

Nearly at the same time.

Qi Mo also responded to the old lady's words in the group chat. Replying succinctly:

——【Qi Mo: Mm.】

The message was sent, and somehow, as if by prior agreement, everyone minded their own business for quite a while, with no one following up the conversation.

What a coincidence.

After Sheng Mumu washed her face again and came out from the bathroom.

There were still beads of water clinging to her lashes.

Her vision was blurry, so she used the back of her hand to rub her eyes.

Then randomly clicked open her phone.

As soon as WeChat opened, she saw Qi Mo's "Mm."

She didn't participate in the group chat, completely unaware it was the group conversation window.

Thinking it was Qi Mo's private chat reply to her message.

Her brow quirked up as her fingers rapidly tapped the screen.

Replying in the family group chat:

——【Sheng Mumu: You say "Mm" when I call you flirtatious??? My neck was nearly bitten through by you, do you belong to the dog category?!】
