Xu Chaomu watched as Shen Chi’s complexion grew increasingly unpleasant, and before he could lose his temper, she needed to quickly snatch the bottle! But when Shen Chi slightly shifted his body, Xu Chaomu lunged at nothing.

She lost her footing and stumbled down from the chair!

Just when she thought she was going to crash and break her skull, a strong arm caught her.

“Are you throwing yourself into my arms?” Shen Chi raised an eyebrow. “It was clearly you who seduced me! Give me back the bottle!”

Xu Chaomu yelled at him, while Shen Chi continued holding her without letting go.

“Didn’t I say I need to see if you really need this thing?” Shen Chi smirked devilishly.

In Xu Chaomu’s eyes, this man’s smile was incredibly luxurious; hence, when he smiled, he was so enchanting that she couldn’t take her eyes off him.

While she was lost in admiration of his beauty, Shen Chi pushed her away and started walking towards the window!

Xu Chaomu snapped back to reality. She had gone to great lengths to buy that, spending a full two hundred yuan on it—it couldn’t just go to waste like that! Two hundred yuan! Her two hundred yuan!

When Shen Chi was just two steps away from the window, Xu Chaomu pounced forward and wrapped her arms around his waist.

“Don’t you dare throw it!”

Her little claws clung desperately to Shen Chi’s waist, and she was truly frantic, not even noticing that her hand was resting on the most prominent part of Shen Chi’s masculinity.

Shen Chi’s body heated up instantly, feeling as if a current had shot through him, his face turning as dark as could be.

“Take your hand off!” “Give me the bottle!”

“Let go of your hand first!”

“Give me the bottle first!”

Xu Chaomu was stubborn, and Shen Chi’s body grew hotter, the physical change making him exceedingly uncomfortable. However, Xu Chaomu remained oblivious to what was happening.

“Get lost!”

Irritation surged within him, and he pushed Xu Chaomu away with a commanding force.

Ignoring everything else, Shen Chi opened the window and flung the essential oil bottle into the back garden!

“My bottle… my two hundred yuan…” Xu Chaomu wailed at the window.

But it was pitch dark outside, and not even the shadow of the bottle was visible. “Focus less on these crooked ideas and spend more time on your studies!”

With a slam, Shen Chi shut Xu Chaomu’s room door behind him and strode to his own room.

He pushed open the door to his bathroom and turned on the cold water, not stopping until he’d taken a cold shower for over an hour, finally feeling calm.

Damned Xu Chaomu!

Meanwhile, Xu Chaomu was set on figuring out how to retrieve her bottle. She snuck downstairs and ran into the garden. fre(e)novelkiss.com

“Always throwing my stuff around, meddling in things that aren’t your business. Yelling at me, do you think I’m scared of you?”

She muttered softly to herself while searching for the bottle.

The garden was overgrown with weeds, and with the wind picking up at night, Xu Chaomu soon started to feel cold.

Holding a flashlight, she looked around, and several bugs flew onto her body. Xu Chaomu was both angry and annoyed—would she be out here suffering if it weren’t for Shen Chi?

“Where could it have gone? Why can’t I find it…”

“Are you looking for this?”

Suddenly, from the dim light, Liu Rumei appeared, seemingly just having taken a shower, her body exuding a scent of jasmine flowers.

In her hand was a small green bottle, with a faint smile lingering on her lips.

Xu Chaomu straightened up, and sure enough, there was her bottle of essential oil.

“Thanks! ”

Xu Chaomu walked over, intending to take the essential oil bottle from her hand.

Liu Rumei looked at the bottle with deep meaning. “Breast enhancement? Are you planning on breast enhancement?”

“No, it’s for a friend!” Xu Chaomu replied somewhat irritably.

“There’s nothing shameful about breast enhancement. If your friend wants to enhance her breasts, just let me know. I know a spa director who’s very skilled; her techniques work wonders, almost instantaneous effects,” Liu Rumei chuckled dryly.

Xu Chaomu curled her lip and ignored her.

“Chaomu, it’s normal for girls to have their little desires when they grow up. Everyone goes through that age. Chaomu, do you… do you like your Fourth Brother?” Liu Rumei asked Xu Chaomu in a lowered voice, smiling.

Xu Chaomu smiled back at her: “Of course I like Fourth Brother, and I like Third Brother too, but I don’t much care for Mrs. Liu and Second Sister.”

“You!” Liu Rumei found herself at a loss for words.

Xu Chaomu snatched the bottle from her hand and happily went upstairs.

Although Shen Chi was very annoying, if she didn’t stand by him anymore, he would be all alone.

As soon as she got back to her room, she flipped through the essential oil instruction manual, smearing, rubbing, and kneading.

The aroma of the essential oil was very pleasant, subtle, an intoxicatingly fresh fragrance.

She also thought about the magazine she saw in class today. When would she ever have the tumultuous waves like the cover girl of that magazine!

After taking a cold shower, Shen Chi stood by the window to enjoy the evening breeze. His room was separated from Xu Chaomu’s by only one wall. He felt that he couldn’t let this girl run wild anymore. Today she even said to him, “seducing young boys.” So, he made a call to the school administrator.

“Lately, which boy has Xu Chaomu been close to?”

“Xu Chaomu has always been close to Yu Weiwei. As for boys… it’s probably freewebn(o)vel

Ouyang from the same class; they’re closer.”

“Ouyang?”

Shen Chi fell deep in thought.

The next day, as soon as Xu Chaomu arrived at school, Yu Weiwei pulled her aside with a look of dejection and unhappiness.

“Weiwei, what’s wrong? Is your second uncle refusing to come?”

“Chaomu… I have a sad piece of news for you, keep calm.”

“What?” Seeing Yu Weiwei’s demeanor, Xu Chaomu wondered what could have happened.

“Chaomu… we might not have special magazines to read anymore, maybe no one will fight for us, and maybe we can’t hunt for treasures anymore…” Yu Weiwei spoke with a heavy expression, sighing as she did.

“I don’t understand,” Xu Chaomu blinked.

“Ouyang transferred schools; he’s moved his stuff away. From now on, it’s just you and me against the world…” Yu Weiwei sobbed, tears and snot mixed together.

“This kid dared to transfer schools?”

“They say his father was relocated to another city for a construction project. He had no choice but to follow along,” Yu Weiwei explained.

“Wasn’t there an agreement to look after us until we graduate from college?

Now are we supposed to fend for ourselves?”

A wave of sadness naturally arose, and thinking about the potentially dull days ahead, Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but tear up.

“Chaomu… from now on, we sisters must stick together. Don’t worry, I’m two months older than you; I’ll have your back!” Yu Weiwei said, putting on airs like a big sister.

“No heads up, nothing. Ouyang really let us down! Does he even consider us brothers anymore?”

“Don’t blame him. I heard his dad got a sudden transfer call last night, and they had to leave immediately.”

As Xu Chaomu and Yu Weiwei were sighing to the skies, the class president came running over.

“Xu Chaomu, Yu Weiwei, the homeroom teacher is asking for you,” he said. Yu Weiwei nudged Xu Chaomu’s arm: “The math teacher has complained about

Xu Chaomu lowered her voice: “What do we do? I haven’t dared to tell my family!”

“No big deal, stay calm, face it head-on. At worst, we’ll have to stand on the sports field and write a reflection!”

So, Xu Chaomu and Yu Weiwei, pretending to be composed, walked to the homeroom teacher’s office as if they were there to receive an award, not punishment.

The homeroom teacher was already waiting for them in a conference room—not too big, not too small and very clean. It was typically used for meetings with minor leaders.

Both Xu Chaomu and Yu Weiwei suddenly felt honored..
