A Flutter of the Heart

Chen Shuo thought Su Xiyan would run away, but unexpectedly, she went against his expectations and took the initiative to press Chen Shuo down onto the gaming chair.

Su Xiyan lightly raised her long, beautiful legs and sat on Chen Shuo's lap.

"Chen Shuo, you came at me aggressively, what are you trying to do?"

Huh? She's being so proactive?

Looking at Su Xiyan's face that resembled a sly fox when she smiled, Chen Shuo felt that things were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

This girl must be plotting something sneaky in her heart again!

Better be cautious!

As the ancients said, the character for "color" has a knife on top of it.

Chen Shuo, don't let your heart be clouded by momentary desire, you must keep a clear mind!

With this thought, Chen Shuo pushed Su Xiyan away and warily asked, "What are you trying to do? Tell me, what's your motive? I, Chen Shuo, am a man who can withstand tests, I won't fall for these petty tricks!"

Chen Shuo looked at Su Xiyan doubtfully, which made Su Xiyan feel very disappointed.

She had finally worked up the courage to bring their relationship to the next level, but she did not expect Chen Shuo to react so confusingly!!

Who made Su Xiyan usually appear so aloof that people can't help but look up to her?

To suddenly act like this, it really caught her off guard.

Also, she had tricked Chen Shuo several times before.

So he had to be more vigilant.

At this moment, Su Xiyan was still sitting on Chen Shuo's lap, clutching his collar with her hand.

She really could not figure out why Chen Shuo's mood swung so drastically all of a sudden?

To put it simply, wasn't it because he was afraid of being tricked by Su Xiyan again?

Chen Shuo pushed Su Xiyan away a little again, and pointed to the direction of the door, "It's getting late, I'm going to sleep."

Then, Chen Shuo added, "I really mean it this time."

Su Xiyan looked at Chen Shuo doubtfully. As she stood up, she tugged down the neckline of her bathrobe, revealing a large patch of flawless, snow-white skin.

Damn! Is this for real??

Chen Shuo regretted his earlier decision. He grabbed Su Xiyan's slender jade hand and pulled her back into his arms.

"Su Xiyan, you went a bit overboard!"

Su Xiyan batted her eyes charmingly: "How did I go overboard?"

Chen Shuo: "You tease and then want to run away??"

Su Xiyan gently raised her hand, her index and middle fingers walked along Chen Shuo's shoulder to his waist like two small legs.

Every step her fingers took was as elegant as playing the piano, accurately plucking at Chen Shuo's heartstrings.

Just as Chen Shuo anticipated her fingers would continue moving, she abruptly halted.

Having just taken a bath, Su Xiyan closely resembled a slippery little snake carrying a sweet fragrance as she slid away from Chen Shuo’s side.

"Trying to get away?"

Chen Shuo turned back to pull at Su Xiyan.

Su Xiyan twisted her waist and broke free.

Chen Shuo’s fingers only brushed the corner of Su Xiyan’s bathrobe. The high-class fine material, just like her skin, was soft, sweet, and very delicate, exuding an aloofness that made people not dare look up to her.

For a girl like Su Xiyan, she should be teased until she can't help but beg him.

So, Chen Shuo temporarily restrained the urge in his heart for now.

He leaned back on the gaming chair, posture relaxed, gazing at the doorway Su Xiyan had left through, the corners of his mouth raised in an indulgent smile.

Go ahead and tease! If I don't tease you back, I lose!

If I don't tease you until you beg for mercy, that's also my loss!

After returning to her room, Su Xiyan hurriedly closed the door, feeling like her heart was about to jump out!

She lightly slapped her wildly beating chest: Scared me to death!

She had only wanted to tease Chen Shuo a bit, she didn't expect this guy to reverse the situation?

However, after arousing her slightly, he regained his calm.

Tough!

Challenging!

I like it!

Su Xiyan made up her mind that she must properly tease Chen Shuo in the future. She was rather curious to see how long Chen Shuo could withstand her attacks.

Recalling what had just happened, Su Xiyan felt she could barely breathe!

This was way too thrilling!

It was another leisurely Friday afternoon.

Chen Shuo didn't have afternoon classes. Su Xiyan still had some matters to deal with at the Kendo Club. So, without waiting for Su Xiyan, Chen Shuo caught a cab back to Haiyi Apartments by himself.

Before even going upstairs, downstairs at Haiyi Apartments, Chen Shuo met a strange uncle.

The uncle looked to be in his mid-fifties. However, compared to typical men in their fifties and sixties, his physique was completely different.

This uncle had a straight back. The way he walked also contained prestige and dignity.

He wore traditional cotton clothing with an open cross-collared robe, appearing refined yet stylish.

He seemed to have an unfathomable and profound demeanor.

However, contrasting with the refined traditional clothing was this uncle's shiny bald head with hair combed sharply to the back!

As the saying goes: To have a stronger aura than a big boss, you must comb your hair back!

The uncle already had a very powerful aura to begin with. Adding the slicked back bald head, his aura was basically unmatched.

Therefore, among the crowd of uncles and older men taking a stroll downstairs, Chen Shuo was able to spot this shiny bald headed uncle at a single glance.

Chen Shuo was waiting for the elevator at the first floor elevator lobby.

He suddenly felt an exceptionally strong aura approaching him from behind.

Glancing back, it turned out to be that shiny bald headed uncle as expected.

What a strange aura! But Chen Shuo didn't think too much of it. He was just an ordinary human after all. Humans could also have strong auras, no need to make a big fuss out of it.

Chen Shuo was a vampire. If a vampire encountered a demon hunter at close range, they would sense the demon hunter's presence.

His first impression upon seeing this uncle was that he resembled a demon hunter!

However, as the Lord of Vampires, he surprisingly did not detect any traces of a demon hunter from this uncle at all.

Chen Shuo couldn't help but mock himself, thinking, so even he had times when his eyes tricked him?

The uncle had his hands clasped behind his back, lost in thought.

While waiting for the elevator, the uncle suddenly spoke, "Young man, is this Haiyi Apartments Building 19?"

Chen Shuo nodded: "Yes!"

"Uncle, I haven't seen you before, did you come to visit someone?"

The uncle hmm-ed, "Hmm! I guess you can say that!"

Just then, Chen Shuo's phone rang.

It was a text message from Su Xiyan saying she wanted to eat Chen Shuo's sweet and sour pork ribs for dinner tonight.

What a little glutton!

Chen Shuo's tone was full of indulgence: "Alright! I'll go buy pork ribs. Whatever you want to eat, I'll make it for you."

"Or if you want to eat me, that works too."

Immersed in the sweetness of his teasing words, Chen Shuo almost forgot there was still that strange, strong-aura uncle next to him.

Beyond Chen Shuo’s expectations, the uncle actually cast an approving look at him.

Chen Shuo grinned, "That's my girlfriend. She likes to eat."

"Should've told me earlier. Not sure if I can still buy nice fresh pork ribs at the supermarket now."

With that said, without waiting for the elevator anymore, Chen Shuo turned around and walked out towards the apartment building entrance.
