Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 460 - 218: The Jerk Has Evolved Again_3

After a short pause, she secretly glanced upwards and shivered again at the sight of the scoundrel’s slightly protruding cheekbones, his sharp jawline, and the tall, straight bridge of his nose.

Brother Lie looks so fierce...

Actually, "rebellious" would be a more accurate description, but she preferred the word "fierce." Fierce often meant being tough towards others, possessing a masculine aura, and having a fiery temper. Some women disliked that, but others felt such men could provide a sense of security. Chen Yanfei was indifferent to Han Lie’s looks, but Ding Xiang had felt an instant connection when she first saw him. Maybe it was because of the nickname Chen Yanfei had given Han Lie, "Tough Guy." Ding Xiang had long pictured him in her mind. When she finally saw him in person, she thought, Wow, he’s really manly!

So, the more she looked, the more comfortable she felt; the more she interacted with him, the more three-dimensional he became.

Many coincidences in the world are like this: first comes form, then substance. What the heart desires, the image conforms; this is fate.

"Hehe..."

She suddenly giggled foolishly, completely unaware. Han Lie heard it but didn’t turn around. A slight smile touched his lips, which made Ding Xiang feel even more delighted.

The two of them strolled the streets of the Bund aimlessly. They were part of the crowd, yet distinct from it, walking all the way to the entrance of a dimly lit alley.

Suddenly, Han Lie halted and looked down.

Ding Xiang stopped too and looked up.

Their eyes locked, gazes entwining, and time seemed to freeze.

Ding Xiang’s heart raced, her mind went nearly blank. Her breathing grew heavy and rapid, the white mist of her breath veiling the flush on her cheeks.

But how could that truly be hidden?

When she realized her cheeks were burning hot, she averted her gaze.

She could no longer bear such shyness; she wanted to hide, to escape.

The next second, Han Lie reached out with his index finger, hooked her chin, and lifted her face.

The scoundrel’s lips barely moved. A stream of air, expelled from deep within him, rushed up his throat, vibrating his vocal cords as he issued a hoarse command.

"Don’t hide. Look at me."

Ding Xiang obediently looked up again, subconsciously pursing her lips. Her gaze was confused, shy, and docile. Her expression was a mixture of nervousness and insecurity, yet she remained submissive.

This girl is intoxicating!

Brother Lie could no longer resist and leaned in, his kiss domineering.

The next second, he had the innocent girl wrapped entirely in his arms, holding her as though he wanted to crush her.

The innocent girl was stupefied. For about five seconds, it was as if the entire world had ceased to exist.

After five seconds, she stood on her tiptoes, her arms looping around Han Lie’s neck.

Well now, from passive acceptance to proactive offering—that happened in a flash.

Brother Lie was genuinely surprised.

She, who seemed shy, was actually incredibly passionate and fiery. She transitioned from awkwardness to eagerness almost instantly, with hardly any adjustment period.

What is a natural-born temptress? That’s her.

Even though nothing else had happened, Han Lie was entirely confident in his judgment.

But... don’t get carried away, hold back!

With immense willpower, the scoundrel released her. Then, he walked the Bund with her again, returning to their starting point.

"Go on back," Han Lie said, his voice gentle, but his words laced with insinuation. "I’ll introduce you to even more enjoyable activities later."

His sweet temptation let out a soft "PFFT," playfully slapped him, and whined sweetly, "You stinking rogue, you’re so annoying~~~"

Brother Lie quickly moved his phone away, then ushered her into the car.

If he didn’t rein himself in, the room he’d just booked would soon be put to good use.

"Be good, off you go. Remember to brag to Chen Yanfei when you get back..."

"Huh?!"

Ding Xiang was stunned. "Brag about what?"

"That you kissed me before she did!"

The scoundrel grinned wickedly. "She’s got such a big mouth, and all she uses it for is eating and MCing. So lame, right? If she asks you how it felt, just tell her..."

"PFFT! You’re infuriating! MCing? HAHAHAHA..."

Ding Xiang felt she should be angry, but she honestly couldn’t stop laughing.

The scoundrel was too much—brazenly philandering, kissing her without offering any explanation, and still thinking about Sister Yanfei. He deserved a good smack!

But... MCing really was hilarious...

It didn’t take long for Han Lie to pacify his sweet temptation.

This was mainly because she herself hadn’t figured out her next move.

Be with Han Lie?

What about Chen Yanfei? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The decision was too difficult, so she just buried her head in the sand like an ostrich.

After cuddling all the way, Han Lie personally dropped her off at the gate of her university campus in Songjiang University Town. As they reluctantly said their goodbyes, they kissed for another five minutes.

Good heavens, her skin was already tender, and now her lips were completely swollen.

"You’re so annoying! What am I going to do now?"

She looked at herself in the vanity mirror, almost on the verge of tears.

Han Lie thought, What’s wrong with riling up the ’guardian beast’ at home?

Of course, he couldn’t actually suggest that; a sweet temptation like her wouldn’t have the guts.

So he proactively offered a suggestion, "After you get out of the car, go buy some spicy squid skewers, grilled gluten, or hot dog sausages to take back to the dorm. Eat one yourself, making sure to hiss and fan your mouth from the spice. That should do the trick. Don’t worry, no one will notice."

The problem was indeed solved, but Ding Xiang stared at the scoundrel for a good while, astonished.

Brother Lie forced a polite smile, but inside, he felt extremely sheepish—

This is bad. Did I sound too practiced?

In the end, Ding Xiang got out of the car, fuming, leaving behind only three words uttered through gritted teeth.

"You scummy dog!"

Brother Lie shrugged helplessly. Great, the "dog man" had evolved once more...

Seriously, shouldn’t you be thanking me for my brilliant idea? Sigh, being a man is so hard!
