Shen Zhiyi stared wide-eyed, as if she were stunned.
It took her a while to process what he said, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Now, immediately, let me go!"
Li Heng suppressed the smile in his eyes and said softly, "Then don't move, come closer to me."
He bent down and embraced her.
He tightened his arms, sliding slowly and laboriously upwards along her waist, his thin lips breathing into her ear, "Otherwise... you won't be able to get out."
Shen Zhiyi lowered her eyelashes and leaned on his shoulder, her black hair falling to the side and covering half of her cheek.
It also concealed her annoyance and shyness.
He held her tightly in his arms.
She could feel those strong, powerful arms tightening around her, then gently brushing against her skin, measuring her slender figure.
Even through a layer of fabric, she couldn't help but feel a surge of heat throughout her body.
As he finally slid down to her neck, Shen Zhiyi leaned back impatiently, trying to escape from his hot, throbbing chest.
But unexpectedly, she pressed the back of her head completely into his outstretched palms.
He held her in his hands.
Their eyes met.
Shen Zhiyi felt as if time itself had vanished in that moment.
They gazed at each other, feeling a deeper sense of constraint than before.
His pupils, though a light brown, ignited her like torches.
This made her blush involuntarily.
He finally let go.
Shen Zhiyi turned to her side, her whole body went limp, and she collapsed onto the bed.
She quickly got up and tidied her hair and clothes.
Li Heng stretched out his arm and presented her with his wrist, which was bound by a silk scarf.
"Can you help me untie this, young lady?"
Shen Zhiyi didn't look at him, but raised her fingers to untie the knot in his hand.
Damn it, why is it tied so tightly?
Did it get tied in a knot when it first broke free?
Why are my fingers feeling weak?
[Have some self-respect, Shen Zhiyi! He only hugged you!]
He wasn't looking at me, was he?
[I can't look up, I can't look up! If he sees me blushing, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?]
Li Heng stared at the whorl of her jet-black hair.
Hearing her anxious yet incredibly endearing thoughts, a slight smile curved his lips where she couldn't see.
Even the light in his eyes softened.
Shen Zhiyi finally untied the cumbersome silk scarf.
She rolled over and put on her slippers.
"You have class later, right? I'll have the driver take you home."
She still didn't look at him.
Li Heng twirled his wrist, then leisurely looked up at her. "Aren't you coming back with me?"
Shen Zhiyi stared wide-eyed.
How many times have you seen me attend a class?
She reached out and pulled him towards the door, saying, "I'm busy, you should go now."
Li Heng was pushed out the door by her, staggering.
Then, with a bang, they locked him out.
Li Heng chuckled.
Looking at the closed bedroom door, he shook his head and went downstairs.
I hadn't walked two steps when a message came through on my phone.
"The sports jacket is on the sofa in the living room."
"Only I can see your body. If I find out you're showing your abs to someone else, you're dead!"
She also posted a meme of a kitten giving a death stare.
Li Heng turned his head and saw a black sports jacket draped over the sofa. He then turned his head and glanced at the still-closed bedroom door.
The smile in his eyes deepened.
He looked down to reply to the message, grabbed his coat, and left the villa.
Shen Zhiyi lay on the bed, burying her face in the pillow.
The phone vibrated twice.
She flipped through the pages, turned her head to the side, and saw the two sentences Li Heng had sent.
"Only you have seen it."
"From now on, only you will be able to see this."
She widened her eyes slightly, and like throwing away a hot potato, tossed the phone far away, then buried her face in the pillow again with a thud…
*
Bang! Bang bang—!
Shen Zhiyi, with her hair tied in a ponytail, was boxing in the villa's gym.
The punches were fierce and powerful, each one more ferocious than the last.
Sweat dripped down her delicate face. Her expression was cold and stern. She took a step forward and suddenly threw a heavy punch, slamming it into the sandbag!
Damn Li Heng!
How dare you flirt with her!
What's even more damning is that she actually fell for it!
The puppy isn't even tamed yet, and he's already taking advantage of me? He's even hugging me so tightly...
Shen Zhiyi grew angrier the more she thought about it.
Her face grew increasingly red.
She threw two punches simultaneously, slamming the swaying sandbag into place.
Suddenly, he stopped walking.
no.
We can't let him off so easily.
On the day of the camping trip, she was determined to give him a good thrashing and show him who was in charge!
...
On Saturday, Shen Zhiyi set off for the campsite two hours earlier than scheduled.
Only she and Li Heng decided to climb the mountain.
Therefore, the other students have not arrived yet.
She got out of the car and saw Li Heng waiting at the foot of the mountain from afar.
He saw her and came to greet her.
He's smart to know his place.
[If he dares to make me wait, he's dead!]
Hearing the thought, Li Heng pushed up his glasses, suppressing the smile in his eyes.
"Young Miss."
Shen Zhiyi took two arm-length sandbags out of the car and threw them into his arms. "Here, tie them on."
"What's this?" Li Heng asked, looking at the two sandbags in his hands, puzzled.
Shen Zhiyi crossed her arms and snorted.
"Today's hike is not a simple hike."
"Weight training is required."
She glanced at his legs. "A man can't do without leg training."
"Tie this to your thigh before climbing the mountain."
