Chapter 66 "You don't like me at all."...
"What are you doing?!" Wen Chu slammed the door shut, her face still burning, glaring at the man.
"I want to confess my feelings to you."
"If you're going to confess, just confess! Why did you have to kiss me?! How embarrassing!" It's like being caught dating by your parents.
She's still an innocent baby in front of her parents, how could she kiss a man!
Lu Ming's cheeks were flushed. Although his tone of voice sounded normal, it was not hard to tell that he was not very clear-headed.
He slowly lowered his eyes, feeling guilty, and said, "I just acted on impulse..."
Wen Chu pointed at him with her index finger, not knowing what to say.
Lu Ming leaned against the door frame, tilted his head back slightly, and rubbed his brow bone, trying to force himself to wake up.
His mind was in complete chaos; he couldn't care less about anything except the person in front of him.
Wen Chu, her face flushed, stepped forward to look at him again: "Are you dizzy? I'll go get you some hangover medicine?"
So many unexpected things happened that Wen Chu didn't know where to begin or how to begin. It felt like the CPU couldn't keep up; it had crashed.
Lu Ming stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his arms, burying his head in her neck and shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "No need, let me hold you for a while."
The other person pressed down on her, hugging her tighter and tighter, until Wen Chu's chest ached a little.
She stood there blankly, like a pen, her thoughts wandering aimlessly.
Smelling the alcohol on the person, Wen Chu felt a little drunk.
His father really dropped a bombshell.
It's clear that Lu Ming has a really good drinking manner and capacity. Anyone else would probably be screaming and yelling all over the place by now, like her.
She was daydreaming when Lu Ming suddenly let go of her, his aura turning several degrees colder as he narrowed his eyes and interrogated her: "Why aren't you holding me?"
Are you kidding me?
Wen Chuxin was startled and quickly raised her hand to hug the man's waist: "I'm hugging you... I was just afraid that when you sober up, you would say that I took advantage of you. Besides, what are you saying? Why would I play tricks on you?"
Lu Ming hugged her again and said in a muffled voice, "I'll take it from you."
"Really? Then I'll have to take advantage of the chaos to touch your abs, okay?" Wen Chu tried to ease the atmosphere with a flippant tone.
No sooner had she finished speaking than Lu Ming grabbed her wrist and, without a word, led her inside his shirt and placed her on his chest.
"Hmm." Wen Chu's eyes widened, and a storm raged in her heart. Touching the other person's hand felt like being burned, and she immediately cowered and tried to pull her hand back.
Lu Ming grabbed her, preventing her from moving.
"Can you feel my heartbeat? It's so fast it's killing me."
The man's hot breath blew on the edge of her earlobe, and Wen Chu's ear went numb instantly. She placed her hand on it stiffly, not daring to move, her palms sweating.
This is... way too advanced...
Is this considered seduction? I guess so.
She's never been in a relationship and has never enjoyed such benefits.
Wen Chu suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.
She closed her eyes, silently recited pi, but her heart still felt incredibly tight.
She said, completely oblivious to any romantic feelings, "You've had too much to drink today, you should go to sleep..."
Lu Ming suddenly released her hand, his face showing deep disappointment: "You don't like me at all."
"Huh? Why don't I like you anymore?"
"I don't think you're very happy right now. You kept telling me to like you, and now that I really like you, you don't seem to be reacting much." Lu Ming's tone was full of disappointment.
Yeah, I'm mostly confused right now.
Wen Chu quickly explained, "I'm happy! I'm just afraid that you'll deny it once you sober up... so I don't want to be happy too soon."
Lu Ming said slowly and deliberately, "I'm not drunk. I remember what I said."
Wen Chu rolled her eyes at him, "Your face is as red as a monkey's bottom."
"Don't change the subject. I think you're feeling guilty." Lu Ming narrowed his eyes again, as if scrutinizing her.
"No, no! I like you! I'm so happy you confessed to me." Wen Chu hugged him tighter, her mind racing, trying to think of what to say, but her usually quick-witted brain seemed to have lost its connection to her rich vocabulary today.
He was so speechless that he only managed to say this one sentence before running out of things to say next.
What did she usually say when she encountered this situation?
Before she could think of anything, Lu Ming placed his hand on the back of her head, kissed her earlobe intimately twice, and whispered, "Then prove it to me."
"!!!" Wen Chu's ears instantly turned bright red. She quickly pushed him away and said warily, "Are you crazy? My dad just said we can't do anything reckless! Your idea is dangerous! Do you want to do this here?"
Lu Ming frowned: "I just want you to kiss me first, is that not allowed?"
"..." It turns out she was overthinking it.
Lu Ming seemed to have reached his breaking point, his face visibly darkening, like dark clouds gathering before a storm: "You already pushed me away once in the living room."
"Now it's been pushed away again."
"It was clearly your dangerous remark that you made!" Wen Chu went up and touched his face again. Lu Ming stared at her intently. Seeing his rosy lips and white teeth, Wen Chu's heart was indeed itching.
The drunk man was much more docile than usual, which stirred up wicked thoughts in her, making her want to do something to tease him. Her heart was filled with restless desires, and all sorts of thoughts, both appropriate and inappropriate, popped into her head, but on the surface, she only restrained herself by placing her hand on the top of the man's head and stroking his hair.
"You came here today to ask my parents for their approval to date me?" she asked softly.
"Mmm." Lu Ming let her touch him.
"So that's what you were talking about in the living room." Wen Chu leaned closer and asked, "Why did you suddenly admit you like me? Didn't you deny it to the death before? And always change the subject?"
Lu Ming leaned against the door, his arms around her waist, his Adam's apple bobbing before he asked, "So how are you feeling right now? Do you think I'm a fickle and fickle person?"
“I thought that if I liked someone, I would like her forever, but because of your appearance, everything is in chaos.” His tone was tinged with frustration and helplessness: “As you wished, now my mind is full of you, and there’s no use denying it.”
Wen Chu was stunned when she heard this, her heart began to race again, and she was also filled with a sense of guilt for her impure motives.
Previously, when the other party was indifferent to her, she didn't notice anything amiss. But now that Lu Ming has truly opened his heart to her, she feels lost and doesn't know how to respond.
Wen Chu took a deep breath and told herself again that it was all fake and she didn't need to have such a strong sense of morality.
This world is a Truman Show created for her. Everything here is under her control. She is not some second female lead; she is the female lead. And Lu Ming, as the male lead, should belong to her.
Having figured this out, Wen Chu stood on tiptoe, cupped the man's face, kissed him on the lips, and softly answered his previous question: "Of course not, you've always been mine."
Lu Ming's eyes flickered, his heart pounding violently at those words. He pulled her closer, kissing her again, and his passion ignited like wildfire.
Wen Chu subconsciously tilted her head back to deepen the kiss.
They have kissed many times, from their initial awkwardness to now having developed a subtle physical understanding, even a connection.
The unique hormones of the opposite sexes mix together, easily igniting desire in both men and women.
A tingling, electric-like sensation spread through my spine again and again. It was a strange physiological reaction, like riding a roller coaster, rising from the trough to the clouds and then falling heavily back down, only to be firmly held back by someone's large, strong hand.
Wen Chu's arms, which were wrapped around the man's back, moved upwards, first gently caressing the back of his neck, then tightening her embrace, instinctively intensifying his desire and attacking his self-control.
The commotion they made gradually grew louder, Lu Ming's chest heaved violently, and his emotions became more agitated, his kisses becoming increasingly fierce.
Overwhelmed by passion, Lu Ming, panting, lifted her from his knees and pressed her against the door. Wen Chu let out a soft moan; his slightly rough actions actually excited her. She silently bit the inside of her lip, and Lu Ming eagerly kissed her again.
The only sounds in the silent room were the smacking of kisses. The oxygen in their chests was almost depleted, but the pleasure of near death made their adrenaline surge.
The thin fabric carried her burning body heat, as if even the air in the room had warmed up a few degrees.
For the first time in twenty-six years, Wen Chu experienced a strange feeling—an impulsive, hot, and humid sensation… She didn’t know how to alleviate it.
She clung even tighter to Lu Ming's neck, squeezing the last bit of distance between them, and felt the changes in their bodies even more keenly.
Especially Lu Ming's.
Wen Chu was sweating profusely, her mouth was numb from being kissed, and her body finally couldn't bear the intense stimulation of her limbs being sore. She turned her head away and stopped, burying her head in the person's shoulder to breathe heavily.
Lu Ming held her tightly, his hot, alcohol-laden breath burning her neck and shoulders. He lingered, his lips caressing her neck, before finally biting her collarbone with a reluctant bite.
She knew the man must be having a tough time right now, but there was nothing she could do but stop him in time.
The two understood each other without saying anything, and Lu Ming simply held her quietly.
"Let's go to bed," Wen Chu said.
A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Ming's eyes.
"Ah... I mean, this position is a bit embarrassing, I want to lie down on the bed for a while..." Wen Chu blushed and hurriedly explained.
Lu Ming's expression finally relaxed: "Mm." He carried her to the bed, gently put her down, and kissed her forehead, cheeks, and lips very tenderly before lying down beside her.
Their hands touched accidentally, and naturally they ended up holding hands.
Neither of them rushed to speak, trying to suppress the small flames of anger within them.
Wen Chu stared at the ceiling, chanting "Namo Amitabha Buddha, 3.141596..." for a long time, but it still didn't work.
Clearly, the same applies to Lu Ming's side.
The other person was wearing black straight-leg pants today, and it was obvious what was on their mind.
So they tacitly let go of each other's hands, turned around, and faced away from each other, so that they could calm down when they couldn't see each other.
Wen Chu began to recall the algorithm formula, and after about ten minutes, their breathing gradually calmed down.
She didn't expect it to break through 70% so quickly.
If she surpasses 50% but doesn't reach 70% within the stipulated one-month period, Lu Ming's favorability towards her will drop to 20%, and then the next stage will be 70%.
After reaching 70%, there will be a final reset, at which point Lu Ming's affection for her will drop to 50%, and then down to 100%, at which point she can go home.
Now that the deadline hasn't arrived yet, it has already exceeded 70%. Does this mean that the number of initializations has been reduced by one?
After tonight, will Lu Ming's favorability rating only drop to 50% instead of 20%?
Once you have a foundation of affection, the road ahead won't be too difficult.
Does this mean she'll be able to go home soon?
Once we go back, will Lu Ming cease to exist here...?
It was like a dream.
For some reason, Wen Chu wasn't as happy as she had expected; instead, her heart ached. She turned back to face Lu Ming, who then turned to look at her as well.
Previously, he always asked her what she liked about him; now, she wanted to ask him what it was about him that made him like her too.
It still feels very unreal.
Wen Chu raised an eyebrow and asked, "You said you liked me from the first moment you saw me, what do you mean?"
Lu Ming closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
Perhaps it was the alcohol taking effect, and the adrenaline rush from before had worn off, but his head throbbed even more. He tried his best to endure it, and for a moment he hesitated before answering Wen Chu's question, replying uncertainly, "I... I don't know. It was just that in that instant, I suddenly blurted it out."
"Oh, so it's just sweet talk. How did you become so naughty?" Wen Chu clicked her tongue.
"I didn't." Lu Ming rubbed his temples again, and for a moment he genuinely wanted to say that.
But after careful consideration, he realized that he hadn't fallen for Wen Chu that early on.
Fragments of memories flashed through his mind from time to time, one of which was him watching Wen Chu speaking on stage from below the stage.
But on the day of the competition, the other party clearly didn't go on stage, and he had never seen Wen Chu on stage at other times. He didn't know why he imagined such a scene in his mind.
These fragments confused him, giving him the illusion that nothing was real except the person in front of him.
Seeing his furrowed brows, Wen Chu sat up straight and said, "Never mind, I'll go get you some hangover medicine." She was about to get out of bed when Lu Ming grabbed her hand, not wanting her to leave, and was very clingy.
Wen Chu pouted: "I have to go out for a bit, otherwise the two outside will think we're doing something if they see me not coming out for so long."
Only after she said that did Lu Ming reluctantly release her hand and watch her leave.
