Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 458 - 218: The Jerk Has Evolved Again

Han Lie couldn’t figure out what had gotten Ding Xiang so excited, just like she couldn’t figure out what he was laughing at.

"Brother Lie?"

"Xiang Xiang..."

They spoke at the same time. Their words held different meanings, but a mutual understanding was there.

Han Lie suddenly felt that buying the S63AMG was a huge mistake, a colossal one—it only had four seats!

The atmosphere was ripe for mischief, but the environment didn’t allow it, which was truly frustrating.

So, Brother Lie could only try his luck with words. "Are you really in a rush to get back to school? We don’t have to go to a bar or KTV. We could go watch a movie instead."

Watching a movie sounds great!

Although they couldn’t get up to any real mischief, holding hands, putting an arm around her waist, and a little kiss were all within the realm of possibility, especially if he could delay her until after 10 PM...

HEHEHEHE!

A spark flashed in Ding Xiang’s eyes; she was equally tempted. Just as she was about to agree, her phone suddenly rang.

DING DONG!

For some reason, as soon as he heard the sound, Han Lie felt a sense of foreboding.

She opened her phone to take a look, then suddenly covered her mouth, giggling coyly.

"Sister Yanfei told me..."

The innocent flower threw the scoundrel a glance, her eyes carrying a mix of shyness and laughter.

"...that I absolutely shouldn’t let you trick me into seeing a movie. If I’m not back in the dorm by 10 PM, I’d definitely be devoured by you... Brother Lie, would you do that?"

You’re asking me that kind of question?!

Han Lie found it hard to believe but answered without hesitation.

"Of course not! I’m so upright... Eh? No, that’s not right. The main thing is whether or not you want to be devoured by me!"

Instantly, Ding Xiang’s cheeks turned tomato red.

"You’re so annoying! How are you upright? You’re full of nasty tricks! Sister Yanfei was absolutely right about you..."

When she pouted, her voice was incredibly soft and sweet, enough to make one’s heart melt.

Brother Lie’s heart pounded, yet he was also annoyed.

Chen Yanfei, why are you such a troublemaker?! What on earth are you teaching this innocent flower?!

"AHEM! Your Sister Yanfei’s understanding of me might be a little off, filled with too much emotion and bias. Don’t believe her... Anyway, how did she slander me to you?"

"TEEHEE!" Ding Xiang giggled, her eyes crinkling into crescents as she happily counted on her fingers. "Just wait, let me list them for you...

"First: That scoundrel was too repressed in high school, so now he’s incredibly arrogant and wants to flirt with any pretty girl he sees.

"Second: That scoundrel has really wised up. He has so many tactics now, it’s scary. If one doesn’t work, he switches to another. He’s truly adept at tailoring his approach.

"Third: No matter what that scoundrel says, you can only believe half of it. He might as well have studied acting. Really, he even fooled my classmate’s parents! He duped them out of money, and they ended up thanking him! I was stunned at the time!

"Fourth: Those girls that scoundrel is ambiguously involved with are each more attractive than the last. So many top-notch beauties haven’t made him settle down. You definitely shouldn’t think you can succeed!

"Fifth: You’re too naive; you can’t outplay him. So you must never be alone with that scoundrel, got it?

"Sixth..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Brother Lie felt like his head would explode as he hastily called a halt.

Chen Yanfei, all she does is stir up trouble, teaching her all sorts of nonsense!

He clutched at the last shred of hope, his voice trembling as he asked, "Xiang Xiang, you don’t believe her slander about me, do you?"

"HAHAHAHA!" Ding Xiang burst out laughing at Han Lie’s expression, her whole body shaking with mirth.

"Of course... I do believe her!"

She playfully winked at Han Lie, her long eyelashes fluttering charmingly.

"Sister Yanfei is the person I trust the most. Even though she likes you, she wouldn’t lie to me about this. She wouldn’t demean you just to make me give up... So, you’re definitely a scumbag!"

Sighing, Brother Lie slumped back into his chair, looking utterly dejected.

"Chen the Big Mouth is really annoying... If she hadn’t meddled, we could have had kids by now..."

Ding Xiang’s face flared red again.

"You filthy rogue! Sister Yanfei really wasn’t wrong about you!"

Han Lie was not only unashamed but even argued righteously, "Isn’t she annoying? She can’t have me, so she doesn’t want you to have me either. And isn’t it wonderful to kiss, hug, and be held high?"

"Wow!" Ding Xiang was stunned. "Are you just giving up? Not even pretending anymore?!"

"Pretending what?"

The scoundrel lazily lifted an eyelid, a roguish smile playing on his lips. "I really haven’t settled down yet... Hmm, and it’s doubtful you could make me."

"Hmph!" The innocent flower pouted, feeling deeply insulted.

"I don’t even want to be with you! There are more boys at school who like me than those who like Sister Yanfei!"

"But none of them are as interesting as me..."

With just that languid remark from Han Lie, she was speechless.

Indeed.

Apart from Han Lie, no other man would talk to her with such an attitude, in such a way.

Having been liked and pursued since elementary school, all the way to university, she had never met a boy more interesting than Han Lie.

Because she had always attended the best schools, those boys were too... too proper.

She herself was a good girl, strictly controlled by her family. She wasn’t interested in the polite sons of officials, nor the arrogant and unruly sons of the wealthy, and even less so in the shy, timid top students.

She craved novelty and excitement, a touch of mystery—this was the little rebel deep inside her stirring.

At the same time, she still had a high demand for security. Because she was completely accustomed to her parents’ strict control, she needed a strong, capable person to continue providing a perfectly stable external environment, confining her to a comfortable little space.
