“Which problem?”
Shen Chi frowned and repeated the question before Xu Chaomu snapped back to reality.
“This one, this one, and this one!” Xu Chaomu pointed at the reference book.
“Let me see.”
Shen Chi sat in the chair, seriously analyzing the problems. Xu Chaomu brought over a chair and sat next to him; as he studied the problems, she watched him.
No wonder people say that a concentrated man is the most attractive. It’s entirely true. When Shen Chi focused on a problem, he was completely engrossed, always looking at the questions and occasionally jotting down some steps with his pen.
From her angle, his profile looked sculpted with sharp, smooth lines, a high nose bridge, and long eyelashes. Even the scent of him was pleasant—light and elegant.
Her gaze slowly moved down to Shen Chi’s collar.
The top button of his shirt was undone, revealing a patch of skin, and she watched, transfixed.
Xu Chaomu felt a twinge of regret, for such an outstanding man was out of her reach.
And to think she had lived with him for eight years!
“Have you had enough?” Shen Chi turned his head.
“…” Xu Chaomu quickly averted her gaze. Wasn’t this man completely absorbed in the problems? When did he notice her?
“This problem, a geometric sequence, you need to start by writing out the formula…
Shen Chi began to explain the problem to Xu Chaomu, but how could she focus on the problem?
She suddenly remembered what Yu Weiwei had said that evening.
“If you really like him, just surprise him with a kiss when he’s not paying attention. You’re quite pretty, and no man could resist you.”
No man could resist? Really?
To be honest, Xu Chaomu wasn’t very confident about herself. Just yesterday, Shen Chi had commented on her petite frame, saying she hardly looked like a woman.
But kissing him had been a lofty goal she’d set for herself since she was ten years old!
Even though the possibility of achieving this goal seemed ever smaller, she couldn’t accept it!
She couldn’t accept it!
She saw tonight as an excellent opportunity!
Xu Chaomu moved closer to Shen Chi, who had already written a bunch of steps in the reference book.
“I didn’t understand this part, Big Brother Si, explain it again.” Xu Chaomu pointed randomly at the middle section with her small hand.
Shen Chi cast her a cool glance: “You didn’t understand? Then repeat the part you did understand to me.”
. ‘ He was doing this on purpose!
As he looked at her with icy eyes, Xu Chaomu counted in her mind: one…
Two…
She was only a step away from Shen Chi, and Xu Chaomu mustered her courage and got ready.
Three!
She pounced on him wildly, wrapping her arms around Shen Chi’s waist and landing in his lap!
She wriggled on his lap, sadly unable to reach Shen Chi’s face. So, she let go with one hand, ready to hook his neck.
She completely ignored Shen Chi’s increasingly dark expression and the coldness seeping from his eyes; she had only one goal—to kiss him!
All those kissing techniques unique to the romance magazines suddenly flooded her mind.
The magazines weren’t read in vain!
It was time to give it a try!
After all, you can’t rely solely on theoretical knowledge; practice is essential. Isn’t there a saying, practice is the only criterion for testing truth?
Just as her fingers were about to hook Shen Chi’s neck, he suddenly kicked away the chair, and with a strong push, he tossed her onto the bed!
A ‘thud’.
Xu Chaomu felt like her bones were about to fall apart, but thankfully the bed was soft.
She rubbed her head, which was really hurting, and just happened to bump into the sharp corner of the coffee table by the bed.
“Xu Chaomu, get out!”
Shen Chi’s face was filled with anger, his eyes bloodshot. He pointed towards the door, looking down on Xu Chaomu, his whole body exuding the aura of a king.
Even though he was dressed in a gentle white shirt, at that moment, Shen Chi seemed like the cold King of Asura.
Xu Chaomu stared at him with wide eyes, tears rolling about in her eyes.
She struggled not to let them fall.
Her head hurt badly, a dull pain like being pierced by a sharp knife, a cutting sort of agony.
She held her head, her vision blurry, not even able to see Shen Chi’s face clearly.
“Aren’t you going to get lost!”
His voice hoarse, he roared again.
Xu Chaomu’s vision went dark, feeling something hot rolling down her head. She wiped it with her hand – bright red blood!
“Ah!” Having never seen so much blood, let alone her own, she fainted on the spot.
Shen Chi had not expected his own strength to be so great, nor to have bumped against the coffee table.
He quickly held her: “Chaomu, Mumu, wake up!”
Xu Chaomu had lost all sensation, and Shen Chi instantly turned pale, feeling as though his heart had emptied.
He carried her in his arms and sprinted towards the garage. freeweb novel. com
The car’s vibrations made Xu Chaomu slightly more alert. She tried hard to open her eyes, but her head hurt unbearably. She reached for the back of her head, but Shen Chi pressed her hand down.
“Don’t move around; we’re almost at the hospital!”
He was speeding all the way, driving the fastest Lamborghini from the garage, running through several red lights, almost pressing the gas pedal to the floor!
“Fourth Brother… Fourth Brother… it hurts so much…” Xu Chaomu couldn’t help reaching to grab his arm.
But because she was fastened by the seatbelt, Xu Chaomu couldn’t reach him.
“I’m sorry.” Shen Chi’s eyes hid a tenderness, but other than those three words, he said nothing.
The car headed to the nearest hospital, and upon reaching the emergency room entrance, Shen Chi carried Xu Chaomu inside!
Soon, doctors and nurses came out.
Fortunately, the injury was not too severe; it was just a lot of blood. freeweb novel. com
The doctor skillfully applied medicine and bandaged her. As he did so, the wound stung intermittently, causing Xu Chaomu unbearable pain. She bit down on Shen Chi’s arm.
Shen Chi furrowed his brows, remaining silent, simply letting her bite him.
Throughout the procedure, he held her, keeping her in his embrace.
“It’s okay now, nothing serious. Come back in a few days to change the dressing. Remember not to get it wet and take your medicine on time,” said the doctor.
“Thank you,” Shen Chi nodded at the doctor.
Xu Chaomu’s eyelids fluttered, she seemed to perceive a glint of guilt on Shen Chi’s face.
Really, this man had no idea how to be gently affectionate to women. From the first time he pushed her away, she had predicted that one day he would hurt her.
At least, at least there was no danger to her life. Otherwise, the price for that stolen kiss would have been too great.
Moreover, she hadn’t gained any advantage from it!
She just didn’t understand why Shen Chi had such a strong reaction. Was it that shameful to be kissed by her? Or was it that she was truly so ugly?
“Let’s go home.” Shen Chi picked her up, relieved. As he went downstairs, he was much slower.
He carefully placed her in the passenger seat and then bent over to fasten her seatbelt diligently.
Xu Chaomu’s head felt much clearer. As Shen Chi bent close to her, she caught the pleasant fragrance of his body, and she really felt like sneaking in a kiss.
But remembering the cost, she gave up the thought.
“Behave,” Shen Chi patted her cheek and walked to the driver’s seat.
Had he not spoken, it would’ve been fine, but his words made Xu Chaomu unhappy again. She turned her body away, facing the window, and closed her eyes, refusing to look at Shen Chi..
