Chapter 138 - 138 132 More Capable Than Those Men

Chapter 138: Chapter 132 More Capable Than Those Men Chapter 138: Chapter 132 More Capable Than Those Men He suddenly laughed, looked at his phone screen for two seconds, then looked up at her, “Little Fish, how are you so good at this?”

His voice was very soft, not like he was talking, but more like he was seducing a soul.

The sound of the TV was very low, and amidst the faint sound of commercials, Lu Jingyan felt the temperature around his ears gradually rising.

Sheng Xian’s expression was calm, looking utterly unaware of how seductive her words just were.

Lu Jingyan silently swallowed, suddenly feeling a bit unbalanced inside.

She looked pretty good herself, yet she was always the one mesmerized by him, and now she, being so capable of flirtation, was made to seem as innocent as a lotus flower unblemished by the mud, utterly pristine in bold capitals.

Perhaps it was the influence of alcohol, or maybe she really wanted to know if teasing him now would provoke the same untouchable, high-and-mighty reaction as before.

Lu Jingyan steadied his mind, “Brother, I’m even better at some things, do you want to know what they are?”

It had been a while since he heard “brother” from her lips, causing Sheng Xian to momentarily lose his composure, “Hmm?”

Lu Jingyan beckoned to him, “Come a bit closer.”

Sheng Xian obediently shuffled a little towards her.

“Come a bit closer.”

“…”

Seeing that the distance between them was about right, Lu Jingyan suddenly stood up, placing her hands on the couch on both sides of Sheng Xian’s head, and looked down into his eyes.

The warm yellow light in the room, which seemed quite cozy before, now felt somewhat intimate.

They quietly looked at each other for a while.

Lu Jingyan slowly lowered her head.

Sheng Xian watched her face draw nearer, unblinkingly.

As they got closer and closer, just as their noses were about to touch, Lu Jingyan’s nervous fingers squeezed the back of the couch, unable to lower her head any further.

When she had tormented those scumbags before, it had only been through words; she had never physically acted.

Lack of experience.

Always showing weakness at critical moments.

Lu Jingyan inwardly cheered herself on, pretended to be calm, and slowly pressed her body down, landing her head on Sheng Xian’s chest.

The scent of her hair was pleasant, a gentle floral fragrance mixed with a hint of essential oils.

Her head lightly rested against his chest, as though she was nestling in his arms.

Sheng Xian’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

Just as he was about to pull her up, the girl gently raised her head from his chest, smiled up at him with crescent eyes, slightly stood straighter supporting herself on the couch, then tilted her head and whispered into his ear, “Brother, your heartbeat was so fast just now.”

“…”

Sheng Xian felt his heartbeat quicken even more.

Lu Jingyan blinked, “Brother, why is your heartbeat so fast?”

She deliberately made her voice very soft and gentle, causing Sheng Xian to feel a tingle all over with her every call.

Lu Jingyan then said, “Brother, did you think I was going to kiss you? If so, Brother, can I kiss you now?”

“…”

Sheng Xian felt like his head was about to explode.

He knew about her alcohol tolerance; those few bottles of wine wouldn’t make her drunk to madness, which meant that now, she was getting unruly with him again after enjoying his favors.

When she left him hanging, his heart fluttered; when she didn’t, his head throbbed.

This girl was sent by the heavens specifically to torment him.

“When I kiss you, Brother, can I move my tongue?”

“…”

All the thoughts swirling in Sheng Xian’s mind vanished in an instant,

Suddenly, Sheng Xian’s back stiffened, feeling as if someone had set off a firework in his brain, which exploded with a whoosh, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

… Just now, she had gently blown a breath into his ear.

Sheng Xian gritted his teeth hard, holding back the impulse to throw this girl off him right there and then.

Where on earth had this girl learned these tricks?

Better than any man.

No, that’s not right… He had never been treated like this by a man, so how could he know she was better than any man?

Also not right… He couldn’t just let it slide, he needed to teach this girl a lesson, otherwise—recalling the scene downstairs earlier in front of those old ladies, where she had blurted out anything she dared, an image flashed in his mind of catching up to her and her messing around with him in the street. Surely, he couldn’t just drag her off to a hotel?

Still not right… Was now really the time to be thinking about this?

She was absolutely driving him mad.

Sheng Xian closed his eyes for a moment to calm down, then lifted his eyelids, his gaze falling on her face and ears.

He leisurely lifted his hand and lightly touched her face, “Ayan, your face is red again.”

Lu Jingyan opened his mouth slightly, shivering all over.

Sheng Xian’s slender fingertips glided across her cheek to her ear, gently, erratically, and rhythmlessly massaging her earlobe: “Your ears are red too.”

“…”

“Redder than your face.”

“…”

“Feels like it could bleed.”

“…”

“Even redder now…”

“…”

Lu Jingyan couldn’t bear it any longer, she abruptly stood up, then the next second, gasped, and her head fell back down.

A strand of her hair had, unbeknownst to her, gotten tangled in the button of his shirt.

Panic roiling within her, she frantically pulled at it, but the more she pulled, the tighter it tangled; agitated, she grasped the strand of hair, intending to snap it off.

Before she could exert force, his hand was on hers: “Let me do it.”

His fingertips were slightly cold. Lu Jingyan’s fingers trembled as if electrified, silently slipping from beneath his touch.

Sheng Xian bowed his head, his movements gentle as he untangled her hair from the button, some strands tightly knotted, which he then started to undo strand by strand.

Lu Jingyan didn’t have the patience for this, instinctively thinking to snap it off and be done.

She looked up, caught his expression, and her words stalled on her lips.

His eyelashes drooped, intently focused on studying her hair, the care with which he handled every single strand as if fearing he might hurt one.

Perhaps truly difficult to untangle, Sheng Xian suddenly lifted his hand, and yanked the button off.

The remaining few strands of hair were quickly untangled unharmed.

“There,” Sheng Xian’s calm voice came through.

Lu Jingyan touched the strand of her hair he had just touched, uncomfortably turning her head away, “Tha-, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Sheng Xian looked at Lu Jingyan as she stood up expressionlessly and called out to her, “Little Fish.”

“Hmm?” Lu Jingyan sat back down, casually picking up the half-can of beer left over, and started to gulp it down.

“Just now, as I was untangling your hair, your heartbeat was quite fast.” Sheng Xian stared at her drinking, and said offhandedly, “Even from that distance, I could hear it.”
