Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 131 Why can't I kiss you without your permission?

Sunlight streamed in through the window, and a mountain breeze ruffled the gauze curtains.

The boy's eyes shone brightly as he looked over, his voice drawn out and slow, tinged with a smile: "Sui Sui, you don't mind me kissing you."

Shi Sui was stunned for only a second before she reacted and kicked him twice: "How can I not be repulsed? I even bit you, get lost."

Pei Shuoxun let her kick him, staring at her and laughing: "But you didn't bite me to death."

Shi Sui was speechless for a moment. So, as long as he wasn't killed, it meant there was no rejection? Is this person crazy?

The shoe was kicked away, and Pei Shuoxun picked it up, bent down, and knelt down to put it on her.

Shi Sui kicked him in the face: "Get out of here, I'll put it on myself."

She snatched the shoes, quickly put them on, tied the laces, glanced at him, and froze: "What are you laughing at? Why are you still laughing? Are you crazy?!"

I was scolded, but I found her blushing and furious cursing particularly cute.

But Pei Shuoxun also knew that if he really angered her, she would throw him out of the window.

This was the consequence he had anticipated after the kiss.

The sweet thing is that Shi Sui didn't throw him down, which means she must have feelings for him.

After seeing her getting closer and closer to Chi Yan, he lost patience in luring his prey into a trap.

Pei Shuoxun's Adam's apple bobbed as he tried to suppress his laughter: "Alright, I won't laugh anymore."

"You say you're not laughing, but your eyes are still smiling." Shi Sui looked at him, and was amused by his anger. "Heh, you're so smug, aren't you? You're enjoying taking advantage of me, aren't you?"

Pei Shuoxun's eyes flashed, and he said seriously, "If you feel you've been taken advantage of, you can kiss me back."

"roll."

Shi Sui pushed him, walked out of the room and down the stairs, just wanting to get away from him and calm down.

Her mind was in a mess; she couldn't understand why their friendship had turned sour. What happened to their supposed pure brother-sister relationship? They had agreed to be like brother and sister just two days ago.

She had already ordered the sworn brother/sister tokens online, and this is what happened?

Shi Sui knew better than anyone that Chen Xun was outwardly gentle and polite, but deep down he was crazy.

When she plotted how to kill her adoptive father, she acted impulsively, while he devised ingenious and perfect schemes.

A madman is capable of anything.

So when Chen Xun forcibly kissed her, she actually felt a slight sense that he was capable of such a heinous and incestuous act.

But she couldn't accept it.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Was she supposed to swallow her anger and suffer this injustice?

She paused on the stairs, and after calming down, Shi Sui wanted to rush up and kill him.

As soon as she turned around, she bumped into the boy's chest. Shi Sui's vision went black: "Why are you following me?"

"I want to go downstairs too."

His tone was slightly innocent, but Shi Sui knew he was faking it.

She could practically hear his heartbeat; after being bumped like that, he must have felt incredibly good.

Shi Sui calmed her murderous impulse and forced herself to be calm: "Fine, then come downstairs with me and we'll talk things out."

He moved with lightning speed, his face filled with murderous intent. He was only holding a cell phone, but it looked like he was carrying a kitchen knife. His demeanor was more like that of someone about to kill.

Shi Sui stopped in the outdoor fitness area. Great, if she gets annoyed, she can take down the horizontal bar and stab someone at any time.

"Chen Xun." Shi Sui gently placed her hand on the horizontal bar.

Pei Shuoxun glanced at her hand discreetly, understanding her intention: "Let's make it clear first, we won't fight here. It'll be hard to explain if they come up and see us fighting."

Shi Sui lowered her hand, and after a moment, looked up at him earnestly and asked, "Do you really like me?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Shuoxun raised an eyebrow, met her gaze, and chuckled in exasperation: "You still have doubts?"

"I just wanted to make sure you were asking for a beating, that's why you kissed me."

"Shi Sui, I like you. I kissed you because I like you, not because I want to be slapped."

"I don't care if you like it or not, you just deserve a beating." Shi Sui raised her hand to try and pull herself up from the horizontal bar.

Pei Shuoxun quickly grabbed her hand, his gaze lowered: "You have to control me. You need to know that I like you. You need to keep that in mind."

They got a little too close, and Shi Sui smelled the same scent on him—the smell of the guesthouse's shower gel.

Mint and citrus flavor.

Shi Sui blinked twice.

It smells nice.

“You’re distracted.” Pei Shuoxun waved his hand in front of her eyes, a hint of helplessness and complaint in his voice. “You always get distracted when I confess my feelings to you.”

"I wasn't daydreaming," Shi Sui said, indicating that her mind was clear. "I know you like me."

Pei Shuoxun nodded in satisfaction.

"Hmph, I'm going to tattle! I'll tell your mom!" Shi Sui came up with a plan.

“Great, she’ll be very happy.” Pei Shuoxun smiled. “Don’t forget, she used to always say she wanted you to be her daughter-in-law. You like my mom too, right? There won’t be any mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts with me.”

Shi Sui: "..."

Shi Sui: "There won't be any conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but there will definitely be conflicts between husband and wife. I will abuse you. I advise you not to like me."

Pei Shuo pulled her hand closer and said ambiguously, "So soon, you already want to be husband and wife?"

"roll."

Shi Sui pushed him away, thought for a moment and said, "I don't have those kinds of feelings for you, and I don't want to be in a relationship. Don't look for me."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you."

He answered too quickly, and Shi Sui was stunned for a moment: "Then wait for me, just wait for me. Don't bother me. I have midterms coming up soon, and I don't want anything messy to affect my studies."

Pei Shuoxun sighed and said slowly, "All you ever talk about now is studying."

"Isn't it better?" Shi Sui asked him seriously, puzzled. "It should be better than before, where all you could talk about was fighting, right?"

"It's better if I'm the one who keeps talking."

"..." Shi Sui rolled her eyes at him.

She then thought, "You can't kiss me anymore. I bit and kicked you today, so... never mind."

When he said "never mind," he was practically gritting his teeth.

After a while, Pei Shuoxun asked, "Is it really that simple?"

"I also think we can't just let it go like that. Do you have any suggestions?"

“You should kiss me back.” Pei Shuoxun smiled. “When we fight, if I hit you once, you should hit me back at least three times. If I kiss you once, you should kiss me back at least three times.”

Shi Sui took a deep breath: "I've really held back from slapping you to death for a long time."

Pei Shuoxun touched his face, remembered being slapped after the kiss, and chuckled.

"Don't worry, I knew my strength; I didn't leave any handprints." Shi Sui glanced at him.

I could vaguely hear some sounds coming from inside; it must be that the other students were about to arrive.

Shi Sui urged him, "Promise me quickly, promise you won't kiss me again."

“Song Xinying can kiss you.”

"She's a girl, she just touched my face."

Did she get your permission?

"No."

"Then why can't I kiss you on the lips without your permission?"

He smiled slyly.

Shi Sui had already raised her hand, ready to slap him.

Song Xinying arrived, lifting her skirt, and called out from afar, "Sui Sui!"

"Heh, you've been saved." Shi Sui glanced at him and turned to leave.

Pei Shuoxun silently looked at the two people who were getting closer and closer: Heh, were you saved by your love rival?
