Chapter 4 Strategy: Kiss Your Lips Until They're Smudged on Day 4
Regardless of whether he harbors a secret crush or not, Bai Jiangxin really needs to say something to end things now.
His mind-reading ability isn't actually as mysterious as portrayed in movies and TV shows.
Bai Jiangxin can hear other people's thoughts, but not at any time, nor can he listen to whomever he wants. If he really had this ability, he could know how many lovers and illegitimate children the President of the United States has.
He needs some kind of medium to hear. So far, the simplest medium is physical transmission. As long as the body touches the other person, the other person's thoughts will be transmitted directly into his brain like an electric current. Once the contact is interrupted, the transmission will also be interrupted.
Another form of transmission is biological transmission. The saliva, blood, or any bodily fluid of the other person, including its organic and inorganic components, can all become a medium for conveying feelings, as long as they come into contact with each other.
As for how to interrupt it, there is only one way.
Just wait and let your body digest and absorb it.
This is why he has severe mysophobia and must keep his distance from people. If he can't avoid going to crowded places, he can only wear a mask.
He shared a cup of milk tea with Xiang Di, and without any further physical contact, he could now hear what she was thinking at any time.
As for when it will expire, that's unknown. Because this is the first time he's ever eaten someone else's... saliva since he gained consciousness.
Because Xiang Di's inner thoughts were so rich, Bai Jiangxin even imagined her true expression at that moment.
Her face was flushed, her round eyes smiled like crescent moons, and her mouth stretched to her ears, revealing a row of small, white teeth.
But she seized the opportunity and became extremely smug in front of him.
Bai Jiangxin forced himself to ignore her inner cries and apologized to her with a straight face: "...I'm sorry."
"I'll make you another cup."
If Bai Jiangxin couldn't hear her inner thoughts at this moment, then the matter would most likely be over. He would apologize, she would forgive him, and they would remain classmates like strangers.
But that's clearly impossible now.
"Compensate me? Ha!"
What is she breathing?
[Man, you can't afford to pay for this.]
He can't afford to lose a cup of milk tea; he's not that poor.
However, you can compensate me with something else, such as your body.
"..." No words came out.
Bai Jiangxin wanted to laugh. It turns out that when people are speechless to the extreme, they really can laugh.
Her immediate priority is to uninstall the novel app from her phone.
Speechless, Bai Jiangxin still did not expose Xiang Di.
If she has the guts, she should say it. He wanted to see if she had the courage.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Xiang Di's mind was filled with all sorts of domineering CEO lines. However, in reality, she didn't dare to say a single one out loud. She thought to herself that she would see how he would handle the situation, but in the end, she couldn't bear to embarrass the boy she had a crush on.
So what came out of his mouth was the most pathetic thing to say: "It's okay, it's okay, you don't need to pay me back, I've had enough to drink anyway."
If it were someone else who drank her milk tea, she might mind a little, but Bai Jiangxin was no stranger to her.
She and Bai Jiangxin just shared a cup of milk tea; what's the difference between that and kissing?
She was overjoyed.
I wonder if his lips taste like he does, cool and refreshing, with a layer of frost on the outside, like a chilled mint candy.
Thinking about the taste of mints, Xiang Di couldn't help but purse her lips.
Unbeknownst to her, Bai Jiangxin subtly pursed his lips at that very moment. She was imagining the taste of his lips, and he sensed it too.
After this sweet surprise, Xiang Di had no interest in listening to Bai Jiangxin continue explaining the problem.
I guess Bai Jiangxin doesn't want to explain the problem to her anymore right now. Let's give him some time to calm down. After all, how could a handsome school heartthrob make such a basic mistake?
Xiang Di tactfully said, "I think I have some ideas. I'll study this topic again myself later. Thank you."
She politely thanked him, grabbed her workbook and milk tea, and prepared to slip away.
"...Wait a minute."
Bai Jiangxin called out to her.
Xiang Di asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Her confused look seemed quite innocent.
But perhaps only the face is innocent; a truly innocent person wouldn't inexplicably imagine what someone else's lips taste like.
Oh well, after all, he was the one who made this blunder, she didn't do anything wrong.
Bai Jiangxin silently looked away and said in a deep voice, "Give me the milk tea, I'll throw it away for you."
Xiang Di was surprised that he was so helpful.
"Oh? No need, no need, I can throw it away myself."
He brooked no refusal: "Give it to me."
He had to take the cup of milk tea and throw it away himself, otherwise who knew if she would do something unspeakable with the cup of milk tea he had accidentally drunk from.
Xiang Di didn't dare to refuse, afraid of upsetting him, so she could only let him take it.
What a pity! She was planning to take the straw that his mouth had touched home, wash it, and keep it as a keepsake.
Xiang Di quietly pouted.
"..."
Is she a pervert?
I need to throw away the milk tea right away.
When Xiang Di took the milk tea, her fingers accidentally brushed against the back of her hand, causing her hand to tremble involuntarily.
It's pointless to deliberately avoid physical contact with Xiang Di now. Bai Jiangxin walked expressionlessly towards the trash can at the back of the classroom.
The transmission of thoughts is similar to Bluetooth transmission, with a certain receiving range. The classroom is only so big, but he could still hear what she was thinking at that moment.
My husband's hands are so cold.
They say people with cold hands were fallen angels in their past lives...
He didn't know if she was a fallen angel in her past life, but he knew she was definitely a late-stage non-mainstream person in this life.
However, it could also be due to insufficient qi and blood, or a weak constitution...
Oh no, is he impotent?!
The late-stage thinking of non-mainstream individuals was so abrupt that Bai Jiangxin almost couldn't keep up and paused in his tracks.
What aspect is it not working out?
[If I can only look at it but can't use it, what will become of my happiness for the rest of my life?]
What does she want with him?
It's okay, it's okay. If you love him, you should accept everything about him.
Using your hands is the same.
"..."
Bai Jiangxin felt somewhat disgusted with his own quick understanding.
He asked, what is she trying to comfort herself about? Even if he were capable or not, what does it have to do with her?
She even used her hands? She's really dreaming. Does she think she's so great and magnanimous? That she can even tolerate a man's impotence?
Bai Jiangxin couldn't take it anymore and turned around. Xiang Di was still standing there.
Caught off guard by the sudden eye contact, Xiang Di was stunned for a moment, her heart racing, but fortunately she was able to hide this feeling of attraction very well, at least from her appearance, it was not at all obvious.
She calmly asked him, "Hmm, what's wrong?"
That delicate and lovely face was full of innocence. Bai Jiangxin felt a lump in his throat, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he had been harassed by a pervert but had no way to file a complaint.
Because she really didn't do anything to him; all their physical contact so far was accidental, and it was his responsibility.
Even if she called him "husband" eight hundred times in her heart, this groundhog who only dared to talk nonsense in her heart was too cowardly to even touch him when she was actually facing him. She was so polite and courteous that there was no flaw in her behavior.
People's imaginations are free; Xiang Di imagined herself as the President of the United States, and the FBI couldn't even question her.
Even if he reports it to the police, they will probably just say he has delusions and advise him to go to the hospital to see a neurologist.
Frustrated by a timid and infatuated groundhog, Bai Jiangxin threw the milk tea forcefully into the trash can.
-
The afternoon passed in a daze. Before evening self-study, Xiang Di really received the milk tea that Bai Jiangxin had given her as compensation.
At that time, Xiang Di was planning to pass the time by copying a few English template essays and memorizing vocabulary before evening self-study started.
Suddenly a hand appeared and placed the milk tea on her table.
Her fingers were beautiful and slender, and her skin was as fair as her hands. Xiang Di never imagined that one day the boy she had a crush on would take the initiative to walk to her desk and bring her a cup of milk tea.
Bai Jiangxin was facing away from the ceiling light in the classroom, and his whole body seemed to be surrounded by a halo. Even under such a terrible downward angle and backlighting conditions, it did not affect his handsome face at all.
Xiang Di couldn't help but exclaim again, "So handsome! From his eyebrows and eyes to his nose and lips, he's simply the greatest masterpiece of the Goddess Nuwa in this century!"
Especially those cold and taciturn lips, pink and soft, look so kissable. I wonder if, after a good kiss, I'll hear a contrasting panting breath from his mouth.
In just a few seconds, Xiang Di had already imagined a complete domineering CEO drama.
First came the exasperated look: "You're so handsome, how dare you show your face in front of me? You're asking for trouble!"
Then there's the greasy kind: 【Are you testing me? Hmm?】
Then, even more greasy: "Are you that confident I won't do anything to you?"
Finally, the most ruthless line: "Man, believe me or not, I'll kiss your lips raw!"
"..."
Is there anyone going to do something about her?
Fortunately, this internal drama ended quickly. Xiang Di quietly and reservedly thanked Bai Jiangxin and continued copying her English essay.
Bai Jiangxin did not leave immediately, but stood in front of her desk for a while.
His shadow fell on her desk, and Xiang Di couldn't help but notice it. She looked up again and politely asked, "Bai, is there anything else?"
Bai Jiangxin parted his lips, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly: "You..."
Xiang Di blinked, looking puzzled.
At this moment, her inner thoughts were just like the blank expression on her face, with a big question mark above her head.
A few seconds later, Bai Jiangxin said in a deep voice, "It's nothing."
Back in his seat, Bai Jiangxin rubbed his forehead, not wanting to speak.
One wrong step can lead to eternal regret. How could you make such a basic mistake, even getting the milk tea wrong?
Forget about the college entrance exam, I might as well take leave and go home.
Normally, maintaining physical distance from others would be enough, but now it's not possible unless he skips school altogether.
I shouldn't have bought that milk tea.
No amount of regret or sighing would change anything at this point. With such mixed feelings, Bai Jiangxin finally pulled a tissue from her desk and silently wiped her mouth, which was actually quite clean but seemed to have been tainted by some groundhog.
