Chapter 49 Strategy: There's plenty of time to be lovey-dovey on the forty-ninth day.
Bai Jiangxin really didn't want to see Xiang Di right now, even though she looked only eighteen and was still wearing a school uniform. But whenever he saw her, he would inexplicably think of her when she was completely naked just now.
He didn't know why Xiang Di could face him so freely and without any shame after fantasizing about his body.
He couldn't even understand why married couples and lovers could face each other so calmly after having sex. Didn't they feel embarrassed just thinking about how they had seen the person in front of them completely naked?
After giving her the order to leave, Bai Jiangxin gave her a cold glance and continued to slump onto the table, withdrawing into himself.
Completely oblivious to his embarrassment at that moment, Xiang Di only felt that he was like this—
[A bit cute.]
Cute? Who's cute? He's cute?
Bai Jiangxin closed his eyes, a vein throbbing on his forehead, feeling a sense of powerlessness as if a fist had struck this soft, cotton-like woman.
Xiang Di hesitated. She was a person with a very strong sense of social boundaries. If it were any other time, she would have left long ago if Bai Jiangxin had asked her to leave, without wasting a second, for fear of offending him.
But the situation is different now.
Since he has feelings for her, it shouldn't be a problem for her to show him more care, right?
And show him more care and concern, let him feel your warmth like a spring breeze, and he might like you even more.
Xiang Di felt like she was the little angel heroine in a redemption story. The system's instruction to her was to redeem the world-weary villain in front of her and bring peace and love back to the world.
Bai Jiangxin: "..."
Who is she calling the main villain?
I couldn't figure out what kind of system she was talking about. The aura beside me hadn't disappeared yet, and she still hadn't left.
Normally, she runs faster than a rabbit, but now, when he tries to shoo her away, she stubbornly refuses to leave.
Bai Jiangxin sighed, then suddenly heard her cautiously suggest, "If you don't want to leave, how about I go and call the doctor from the infirmary for you?"
What's the point of calling a doctor? What if they come and find out he's not sick at all, he just has an erection? Can a doctor cure that?
"No need, I'm not sick."
It seemed she wouldn't leave easily, so Bai Jiangxin had no choice but to raise his head, force himself to face her, and emphasize it to her again.
"...But your face looks really red."
Whose fault is it?
Bai Jiangxin couldn't explain it to her, so he simply raised his hand, brushed the hair from his forehead, and silently tapped his forehead with his other hand, indicating that she could touch it if she didn't believe him.
Without the stray hairs obstructing his view, his cool and handsome features were immediately and completely revealed to Xiang Di, creating a powerful impact that pierced her heart.
She couldn't imagine how handsome he would be with a slicked-back hairstyle. Looking at his smooth forehead, even his hairline was so perfect, Xiang Di's heart raced, and she actually wanted to touch his forehead.
Bai Jiangxin saw that she looked so timid that she needed to mentally prepare herself for a long time just to touch his forehead, yet she was so moved by just a touch on his forehead.
It's really hard to understand where this coward gets the courage to fantasize about such daring things with him.
Bai Jiangxin lost his patience: "Do you want to touch me or not? If not, forget it."
"Touch, touch, touch..." Xiang Di said apologetically, "...Then I'll be sorry for offending you."
Bai Jiangxin: "..."
You've offended me enough already.
In that moment of silence, a hand had already touched his forehead. It felt completely different from when the proctor had checked his forehead for temperature.
Her hands were small, her fingers slender, and her palms were incredibly soft, carrying a faint scent of hand cream. She was careful and didn't dare to get too close to him.
The fragrance and warmth from the girl's palm made Bai Jiangxin pause slightly. The forehead that she touched made the normally normal forehead temperature seem to rise along with the temperature behind his ear in that instant.
Bai Jiangxin lowered his eyes, staring at the table, wondering when her torment of him would finally end.
He heard her mutter, "It seems she doesn't have a fever."
Just as Xiang Di was about to withdraw her hand, Bai Jiangxin suddenly said, "You didn't even touch it, how can you tell anything?"
Then a hand much larger than hers covered the back of Xiang Di's hand, and her palm pressed tightly against his forehead.
Bai Jiangxin's hands were much bigger than hers. Because of her fair skin and well-defined bones, if Xiang Di's aunt, who studied painting, saw them, she would definitely marvel at how perfect they were, practically the best reference.
Xiang Di wasn't a hand fetishist, but seeing such beautiful hands, she couldn't help but swallow hard. She had noticed this when she watched him write before; he was very clean and never grew his nails. Every time he bent his knuckles, she could feel the tension in his joints hidden beneath his thin skin.
She swore she really wasn't a hand fetishist, but—
[Such clean and beautiful hands are perfect for picking at; I'd feel so good.]
"..."
Bai Jiangxin gritted her teeth inwardly. Hadn't the mirror given her enough pleasure yet? And now it was happening again?
Do you really think you can get away with fantasizing without taking responsibility?
She's really asking for it.
His fingers unconsciously curled, and his voice was noticeably hoarser than before: "Can you feel it? Do I have a fever?"
Her palm felt the warmth of his forehead, a little hot; the back of her hand felt the warmth of his palm, a little cool. Caught between his two sides, she didn't want to retreat so easily. She glanced at him guiltily and whispered, "I can't seem to feel anything..."
"Then forget it."
Bai Jiangxin lowered his hand, the warmth of his palm disappearing. His little trick had failed. Xiang Di pursed his lips, somewhat disappointed, and withdrew his hand.
Bai Jiangxin said, "Try to experience it in a different way."
"What?"
"Lower your head."
Xiang Di bent down, rested her arm on the desk, and curiously leaned her head over.
Bai Jiangxin's eyes flashed, and the hand that had just been lowered gripped the back of her head again, pulling her towards him.
He instantly used his other hand to brush her bangs aside, and before Xiang Di could react, her forehead was already gently pressed against his.
Forehead to forehead, nose to nose, breaths mingling, even closer than last time, so close that Xiang Di could see her reflection in his dark eyes.
Using the forehead to feel the temperature is indeed more effective than using the hands in determining whether someone has a fever. However, the trade-off is that Xiang Di himself is also developing a fever, with his forehead temperature rising exponentially.
When two pairs of eyes meet at extremely close range, it's not right to open them or close them. Avoiding eye contact would be tantamount to admitting defeat and would only make one appear guilty.
She couldn't be shy, she couldn't hide, absolutely not. She still wanted to enjoy his pursuit for a while longer. She couldn't show that she had already been captivated by him, and she couldn't let him see through her act.
Her heart was pounding in her throat. In his eyes, Xiang Di didn't dare to blink. She was just placed on the barbecue grill, and no matter how she was turned over, she would be the one cooked.
If I lower my gaze slightly, it shouldn't be noticeable, right?
Xiang Di lowered her eyes slowly and carefully, barely managing to avoid his gaze, but her eyes uncontrollably fell on his lips again.
"I'm going to die," she thought, instinctively pursing her lips.
She deserved to pay a price. Bai Jiangxin suddenly asked her, "What are you thinking about?"
"...What could I possibly be thinking?" she feigned ignorance. "Isn't this just checking if you have a fever?"
A low, hoarse laugh brushed against her face, like a hot summer breeze, instantly sending a shiver down her spine.
Xiang Di didn't dare to look up, and muttered softly, "You're asking me, so what are you thinking about?"
Bai Jiangxin: "I think the timing is good now."
"At what time?"
"The right time to kiss you."
The deep voice was like a hot wind in the desert, each word carrying coarse sand that brushed against her delicate eardrums, sending a shiver down her spine.
The setting sun, like rich orange juice, spilled into the classroom where only two people were. This classroom was located at the very end of the corridor, and apart from the students who were having class there, no one else usually passed by. However, the conversations and footsteps of other people outside the corridor, coming closer and then going further away, constantly reminded them that they were in school.
Isn't this inappropriate? This is a school, and it's in a classroom filled with inspirational declarations for the college entrance examination, with such a large five-star red flag hanging in the center of the classroom. As the flowers of the motherland, doing bad things under the national flag is really not right.
But crossing the red line of school rules, these bad things stir up young and naive hearts; the more taboo something is, the more one wants to try it.
Xiang Di's heart was about to explode. She dared not speak or move, afraid that speaking or moving would affect the timing.
Time ticked by, and if anyone walked by and looked through the transparent window, they would be doomed.
[I didn't move, so hurry up and kiss me while no one's around!!!]
Bai Jiangxin seemed oblivious to her fearful anxiety, tormenting her with a grip on her heart as he asked in a hoarse voice, "If I kiss you now, will you dodge?"
Xiang Di: "..."
[Big brother, are you alright? If I wanted to hide, I would have hidden already. Why are you staring at me like that? What's with the gentlemanly behavior at a time like this?! Who asks before kissing?! A domineering CEO just kisses you forcefully, okay?! What are you even asking for?! How am I supposed to answer that?!]
The anticipated touch was nowhere to be seen, and Xiang Di was practically driven crazy by it.
However, the next second, even the ambiguous distance disappeared, and Bai Jiangxin pushed her away directly.
A profound emptiness washed over Xiang Di, leaving her stunned. Suddenly, Bai Jiangxin turned his head slightly and softly called out "Teacher" to someone behind her.
Xiang Di turned her head sharply and saw the proctor from earlier.
After handing in the exam papers, the proctor, still worried about Bai Jiangxin, returned and is now standing at the classroom door.
When Bai Jiangxin called her, she could only reply, "Yes, Bai Jiangxin, are you feeling better?"
"Much better."
Xiang Di stood there dumbfounded until the teacher walked in, at which point he belatedly called out "Teacher."
Then she practically fled the classroom.
The proctor was amused by the girl's disheveled escape and looked at Bai Jiangxin: "Why did you suddenly call me? Look how scared you scared her. If you hadn't called me, I would have just pretended not to see anything and left. Now look what happened, I've disturbed you."
The proctor of their previous English exam was a young female teacher. Fortunately, she was young and not too far removed from her student days, so she could empathize with the restless energy of student life and thus turned a blind eye to the two students' behavior in broad daylight.
"Bai Jiangxin, is she your girlfriend? Are you in the same class?" The teacher looked at the academic genius recognized by the whole grade and asked with great curiosity, "I usually see your posts on the confession wall, but I haven't heard that you have a girlfriend."
Who says school teachers don't enjoy gossip or stalk the confession wall? Some teachers are even more ruthless than paparazzi when it comes to gossiping about their students.
Bai Jiangxin sighed softly and denied it: "Not yet."
The teacher smirked: "So what you just did..."
Bai Jiangxin: "She was checking if I had a fever."
The teacher responded with an "Oh," as if to say, "I don't believe you."
This explanation is indeed far-fetched, but Bai Jiangxin is truly innocent.
Even though he knew she was expecting it, and even though he wanted it too, he knew Xiang Di too well. If he had actually kissed her just now, he would have gotten the same result as last time in the private room: Xiang Di would have turned around and pretended not to understand him.
She still didn't have the guts; even if she screamed for it in her heart, she was still a complete coward.
The fleeting, soft touch he felt in the private room last time wasn't enough to savor for long, but he didn't want to give her any chance to play dumb again, just like last time.
What's the use of liking him if she has the guts to say it? He doesn't want to hear her heartfelt confession; he wants to hear her say with her own ears that she can't help but say she likes him.
He couldn't help it, and he wouldn't allow her to endure it either.
Since I'm destined to be completely under this person's thumb, then this person must also be completely under his thumb, and never be able to think about anyone else in this lifetime.
As long as she admits it, she can kiss him for as long as she wants, and she can pick at him however she wants.
Seeing that Bai Jiangxin refused to admit it, the teacher didn't press him, but instead reminded him, "But right now, everything should be focused on the college entrance exam. After the exam, you'll have plenty of time to be lovey-dovey."
Bai Jiangxin nodded.
After confirming that Bai Jiangxin was not sick, the teacher was relieved and planned to leave.
As he reached the door, the teacher turned back and gave him a chuckle.
"By the way, can I post your story on the confession wall? Don't worry, I'll only use your initials when I post it, it won't be too obvious."
Bai Jiangxin: "..."
Under the teacher's expectant gaze, Bai Jiangxin said calmly, "If you're not afraid of affecting my college entrance exam, then please do as you please, teacher."
The teacher fell silent. If she dared to affect Bai Jiangxin's college entrance examination, she could forget about ever getting a permanent position or a professional title.
After the teacher left, Bai Jiangxin finally removed his hand that had been covering his school trousers.
We've finally made it down most of the way; we can leave after sitting for a while longer.
Bai Jiangxin breathed a soft sigh of relief.
If we had kissed just now, his thing probably wouldn't have gone down until tonight.
But having missed a great opportunity to kiss him, some people must be feeling itchy right now, right?
Thinking of this, Bai Jiangxin finally felt a little better. He smiled faintly, a fleeting hint of mischief flashing in his cool, dark eyes.
-
Ahhh.
He pretended to be a normal person the whole way, and it wasn't until he said goodbye to Liang Qianqian that Xiang Di dared to grab his hair and regret it.
Didn't get to kiss her!!!
The person she'd been longing for for three years was practically within reach; Bai Jiangxin had practically delivered herself to her doorstep. What was she so timid about?
This feeling was even more unpleasant than being interrupted when she had just reached orgasm from fantasizing.
She used to think that it was enough to just watch him from afar, and she didn't ask for anything else. Later, she wanted him to know her name, wanted to be friends with him, and wanted to get closer to him.
Even now, because of his response and indulgence, she likes him more and more, becomes more and more dissatisfied, and becomes more and more greedy. So greedy that the fantasies in her mind are no longer enough to satisfy her longing for Bai Jiangxin.
Only today did she realize that her desire for Bai Jiangxin was far stronger than she had thought.
The soreness and swelling in her chest was not the bittersweet feeling of unrequited love, but rather the torment and teasing of being suspended in mid-air, with a feather brushing against her most vulnerable spot.
Fantasy is just fantasy. In reality, she needs courage to even glance at Bai Jiangxin. A simple physical touch can make her heart race. Those adult thoughts and the immature fluttering in her body turn her into a complex contradiction.
She wanted Bai Jiangxin, his heart, his body, his everything, and wanted to defile him.
She wanted to see desire in his cold, pale face; she wanted to put her milk in his mouth and seal his pale pink lips; she wanted his handsome, bony hands to be covered in her fluids; she wanted to sit on him and reach the climax of pleasure with him.
I'm so lewd, I'm practically a pervert.
Bai Jiangxin would definitely be scared away by her; how could she possibly say that out loud!
Xiang Di roared silently on the bus.
-
Because of the huge shock to her heart after the English exam, Xiang Di was in a dazed state for the next two days of exams.
She became wise, and Bai Jiangxin was also relieved, quietly finishing her last two exams.
All the science subjects were tested on the morning of the last day, and the school reluctantly gave them a half-day off. Thus, the massive mock exam finally came to an end.
Before school ended, Chen Jinghua told everyone to remind their parents to attend next week's parent-teacher meeting. He also mentioned that the school had invited an education expert to give a lecture to the senior students.
Upon hearing "education expert," someone immediately exclaimed, "Oh, another one here to sell books?"
"What do you mean by selling books? Don't make the expert sound like a bookseller. Even if he did sell them, you don't have to buy them. The school isn't forcing you to buy them." Chen Jinghua coughed lightly. "That's all I wanted to say. School's over. Those on duty, remember to lock the door when you leave."
As soon as Chen Jinghua left, the students started discussing what kind of trouble this education expert would cause this time.
"Is he going to make me kneel down to my dad again? I did last year, and he took a picture, posted it on his WeChat Moments, and pinned it to the top. I'm so fed up."
"Hahaha, this is my real dad!"
"Well, it's a good thing my mom is driving. I can accept kneeling down to my mom."
This wasn't the only student in the class who felt fortunate. If their mothers came to the parent-teacher conference, it would be fine, but some people's mothers just happened to be unavailable, so their fathers had to come. And then, they weren't very familiar with their fathers who were practically invisible at home. Just thinking about the parent-child drama they would put on together gave them goosebumps.
Xiang Di thought so too. Fortunately, she had a good relationship with her father, but the problem was that her father wouldn't be available next week.
Upon hearing that an education expert was coming to give a speech, she thought to herself that she absolutely could not let Xiang Sheng come to hold the parent-teacher meeting for her next week.
If she really kneels down to Xiang Sheng, Xiang Sheng will definitely take a 360-degree panoramic photo of her and post it on his WeChat Moments for public execution.
No, no, let Auntie do it instead.
Fearing that even her aunt wouldn't be available next week, Xiang Di quickly took out her phone and sent a message to her aunt, reminding her not to forget next week.
My aunt replied quickly: "Don't worry, I'll definitely be there on time."
Aunt: [After all, I'm finally going to see the legendary Naoki-kun in person!]
Then, her aunt quickly sent Xiang Di several photos of clothes, asking him to choose which one to wear to their school, since he was her future niece's husband and she wanted to make a good first impression.
Upon seeing the words "nephew-in-law," Xiang Di immediately pursed her lips somewhat shyly.
Hearing this, she suddenly became curious: would Bai Jiangxin's mother or his father come?
Will I meet my future father-in-law or future mother-in-law first next week?
I'm so nervous! I really need to do my best and make a perfect first impression on my future in-laws.
Bai Jiangxin, standing to the side: "..."
You're thinking too far ahead. You should first have the courage to confess your feelings to your future husband.
