Chapter 166 The Scheming Boy 9
She looked up at him; his eyelashes were thick and long, and because they were so close, his dark white clothes overlapped with hers.
Seemingly sensing her gaze, Shen Yuchen met her eyes, his fingers lingering on her face trembling slightly. He seemed to realize his mistake and hurriedly began to explain, "Sister Qiuqiu, I..."
He immediately tried to put his hand down, but due to being too nervous, he lost his balance and accidentally fell on top of her.
Shen Yuchen rushed into her arms as he wished, his eyes slightly closed, a greedy light in them.
He quickly composed himself, his body trembling as they pressed together, his voice trembling with panic, "Sister Qiuqiu, I'm sorry... I..."
He seemed afraid to touch her anywhere, and unable to get up without any support, he could only lean against her, his eyes red as he looked at her, "Sister Qiuqiu, I...I...can't get up...what should I do..."
His clothes seemed elaborate and beautiful, but she felt as if they were separated by only a layer of fabric. She could feel his body temperature and the strong muscle lines beneath his clothes...
Seeing his helpless look, Xu Qiuqiu banished her chaotic thoughts, reached out and held his shoulder, pulling him up from her arms.
Shen Yuchen, sitting up again, tightened his grip. Wasn't he attractive? Wasn't he handsome? She was already in his arms, yet she didn't even hug him.
Or is it that Qiuqiu likes that scumbag's weak and vulnerable appearance?
Thinking of this, his eyes immediately welled up with tears, and he pitifully said, "Sister Qiuqiu... what should we do... what we just did... if word gets out... I'll never be able to get married..."
So, she should take responsibility for him, right?
Remembering how important a man's reputation was in the Li Kingdom, Xu Qiuqiu was afraid he might do something rash, so she quickly said, "No, I won't tell anyone. I won't let your reputation be damaged. Trust me, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuchen nearly fainted from anger. If it weren't for maintaining his image, he would have smashed things.
What do you mean? Don't you want to take responsibility for him?
He was so angry that his chest began to heave violently, his eyes turned red, and his knuckles turned white from the force he used.
Seeing him like this, Xu Qiuqiu thought he was really afraid of being discovered and having his reputation ruined, so she quickly comforted him: "Achen, there are only the two of us in the carriage now. If I don't tell anyone, no one will know. I won't ruin your reputation. I swear, I won't tell anyone!"
"How about I swear it now..."
"No need," Shen Yuchen quickly interrupted her, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.
She originally wanted to say that she would take responsibility for him, but when she thought of how A-Chen had previously called her frivolous and dissolute, she didn't dare to say those words easily, for fear of making him angry.
Seeing him sitting silently in the corner, shrouded in shadow, she felt a pang of heartache. "Achen, are you alright?"
"It's alright." Shen Yuchen's emotions had stabilized. He looked up at her, his tone innocent and carefree, "Sister Qiuqiu, I believe you. Actually, I only met you because I'd been cooped up at home for too long, so I secretly slipped out. I usually stay home studying the rules of male conduct and virtues, all so I can serve my future wife well..."
However, Xu Qiuqiu didn't care about what he said at all. She only understood one sentence: he was alright. She was relieved and said, "It's good that he's alright."
Seeing that Xu Qiuqiu showed no emotion, Shen Yuchen secretly became angry again.
Where exactly did things go wrong?
The carriage stopped in a deserted suburb. Shen Qingwan thought they had talked enough, so she went to call Xu Qiuqiu, "Miss Ning, we've arrived."
Xu Qiuqiu responded and got off the carriage.
She saw that there was a forest all around her, and she had no idea what Shen Qingwan was thinking. It was so desolate, what was there to do there?
Shen Qingwan pretended to take her on a tour, then headed back home.
Xu Qiuqiu was still a little confused when she got back into the carriage. Did she not understand the aesthetics of this aloof beauty?
When Shen Yuchen saw her come in, she leaned over and asked, "Sister Qiuqiu, is it fun outside? I didn't dare to look just now, afraid that my sister would find out."
"It's alright..." Xu Qiuqiu replied hesitantly. She couldn't very well tell him to his face that her sister had bad taste, could she?
“I really want to see it too…” Shen Yuchen held a leaf that had just been blown down by the wind in his hand. On a whim, he suddenly moved closer to her.
His closer movement made Xu Qiuqiu stiffen. "What's wrong?"
"Don't move..."
His voice was very pleasant, and Xu Qiuqiu really obeyed and didn't move. She stared blankly at the boy who was getting closer and closer to her. Her breath was filled with his fragrance, which made her heart beat faster involuntarily.
She felt her hair being gently touched, and he lowered his hand.
He opened his palm and saw a leaf. He said obediently, "It just stuck to Sister Qiuqiu's hair."
"Thank you..." Xu Qiuqiu blushed and lowered her head. Good heavens, today she had ink smeared on her face and leaves in her hair; looking like this, Achen was sure to have a bad impression of her...
Seeing her ears turn red, Shen Yuchen felt a little happier. He rubbed the leaves in his hand, and as the wind blew through the carriage curtain, he saw the chestnut horse running steadily.
He suddenly thought of something, a smirk playing on his lips, and, out of her sight, tossed the leaf in his hand away.
The leaves struck the horse with a sharp force, startling it and causing the carriage to shake violently.
In a dizzying moment, he pretended he didn't have time to grab her neck and they fell together onto the carpeted floor, face to face. He held her neck and pressed down on her.
The wind blew his veil away just in time, and he hurriedly released his arms from her neck as if startled. But without any support, he lost his balance in the swaying motion and accidentally brushed against her lips.
Xu Qiuqiu's eyes widened in shock at this sudden turn of events. Before she could even see what was happening, she felt a soft touch on her lips—their lips had met…
She saw him looking at her with horror. He half-propped himself up, his voice low, "My lips... hurt so much..."
Before Xu Qiuqiu could speak, the carriage jolted again, and he couldn't hold on any longer as his lips touched hers once more. When they met, her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked utterly helpless, her face flushed.
Unable to get up, their lips remained pressed together, his voice hoarse, "Sister Qiuqiu...it hurts..."
His eyes were filled with tears, his handsome face was flushed, and his position on top of her was an irresistible temptation for her to kiss him. She couldn't help but gently bite his lip, and he let out a muffled groan.
Xu Qiuqiu suddenly woke up with a start; she had accidentally taken liberties with him!
The carriage had now stabilized, and she pushed him away in surprise, quickly getting up.
