Chapter 075: Did She Enter the Wrong Room?

Chu Fei wiped the wine from his face with a bitter smile, cursing himself inwardly for bringing this upon himself. He’d only meant to joke around, but never expected Ximen Lu to react so bluntly, splashing an entire glass of red wine in his face before he could even respond.

Ximen Lu realized her reaction had been too intense. Reflecting on the past few days of interacting with Chu Fei, she admitted that although he could be a little lecherous at times, he never actually laid a finger on her. Seeing his face smeared with wine, she felt a pang of regret.

But women are like this—rarely admitting fault even when they know they've gone too far. The prettier they are, the more adept at playing coy.

Serves him right!

Ximen Lu snorted, refusing to apologize, and spat out, "Serves you right. Next time, let’s see if you dare touch me again."

"Don’t worry, next time I’d rather touch a pig than touch you," Chu Fei waved her off, feeling fortunate that Ximen Lu had only had a glass of wine in her hand. If it had been a bowl of steaming soup, he’d probably have ended up scalded. Damn it, this woman is dangerous. He needed to tread carefully and not get too cocky.

"What do you mean? Are you saying I’m not even as good as a pig?" Ximen Lu’s face darkened, any lingering guilt vanishing.

"At least you can eat a pig," Chu Fei lifted his head, his expression making it clear—she was only nice to look at, but not to touch, so of course she couldn’t compare.

"You—" Ximen Lu was so angry she could barely breathe, but couldn’t find a way to retort.

"Pfft."

Xu Shiqi, who had been watching the exchange, couldn’t hold back her laughter, her face full of schadenfreude. It was the first time she’d seen Chu Fei be so infuriating, his words so biting.

Ximen Lu, usually sharp-tongued and seductive, was completely outmatched by Chu Fei. Xu Shiqi, being her closest confidante, knew Ximen Lu well—her sultry exterior hid a razor-sharp wit, often bordering on acerbic. She herself had been at the receiving end many times, but now, faced with Chu Fei, Ximen Lu was powerless.

"Why are you laughing? You’ve seen it now, haven’t you? This is the old classmate you’ve been secretly pining for, this scoundrel. Hope you’re over him now," Ximen Lu snapped, unable to deal with Chu Fei and redirecting her frustration to Xu Shiqi.

"I don’t mind, actually. I think Chu Fei is pretty nice," Xu Shiqi shook her head with a mischievous smile.

"You—"

Ximen Lu gritted her teeth, suddenly realizing a fatal problem: one Chu Fei was enough to drive her mad, but now there was an even more aggravating Xu Shiqi. Her best friend was utterly unreliable.

Her eyes flicked, and suddenly she stopped being angry. A bewitching smile appeared on her face as she looked at them, "So you’re teaming up to bully me, huh? Think I’m easy to push around?"

"Not at all, I didn’t say anything," Xu Shiqi hastily retreated, choosing self-preservation.

"I..."

Chu Fei was about to find an excuse to slip into his little bedroom, but Ximen Lu’s sudden smile unnerved him. It was already too late.

Just moments before, Ximen Lu had been furious, but now she strode over and, to his shock, sat herself right in his lap.

Chu Fei was stunned, his hands frozen mid-air, unsure what this old classmate was up to.

Xu Shiqi’s mouth hung open in surprise at Ximen Lu’s sudden move...

"Chu Fei, didn’t you want to touch my chest to see if it’s real or not? Go ahead..."

Ximen Lu didn’t look angry at all now, her smile seductive as she leaned in close to Chu Fei, breath warm against him, "It’s not comfortable from afar, right? Now you can touch as much as you like, even get a real feel inside..."

With that, she grabbed Chu Fei’s hand and placed it on her chest...

"Uh, Ximen Lu, I was only joking just now. Really, just a joke..."

The more radiant Ximen Lu’s smile became, the more Chu Fei felt his hair stand on end, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He hurriedly tried to pull his hand free and pushed Ximen Lu off his lap, genuinely terrified of her now...

"Chu Fei, weren’t you curious about whether mine was real or not?" Ximen Lu’s smile was dangerously alluring, her gaze full of challenge.

"It’s real, definitely real. Anyone can see you’re a hundred percent genuine," Chu Fei broke out in a cold sweat.

"How would you know if you haven’t touched?" Ximen Lu’s smile grew even more provocative...

"No need to touch. Um, it’s getting late, you two keep drinking, I’ll go to bed..." Chu Fei quickly stood up, preparing to escape into his little bedroom. He really couldn’t handle the situation before him.

"Hey, don’t regret it if you pass up this chance. Once this village is gone, there won’t be another inn," Ximen Lu teased with a seductive laugh from behind.

—

Chu Fei didn’t look back as he ducked into his bedroom, finally able to breathe, though he felt as if his body was burning. He smiled bitterly to himself, realizing he had underestimated Ximen Lu’s allure. He admitted her tactic of retreating in order to advance had sent him fleeing—he couldn’t possibly shamelessly grope Ximen Lu’s chest.

Chu Fei took a deep breath, just as he reached the bed, he heard the two women talking outside.

"Ximen Lu, you weren’t really trying to seduce Chu Fei just now, were you?" Xu Shiqi’s curious voice drifted in.

"So?"

Ximen Lu’s voice was lazy, and one could almost picture her reclining on the sofa, lips curled in a languid smile.

"Ha, I knew you were just pretending. But weren’t you afraid Chu Fei might actually grab you? Wouldn’t you have lost out?"

"He wouldn’t dare," Ximen Lu snorted, seemingly speaking for Chu Fei’s benefit, her voice clear and carrying to the bedroom, "If he dares touch me, I’ll castrate him with a kitchen knife."

The threat was chilling.

Chu Fei shivered in his room. She was vicious.

But what followed left him even more speechless.

After a brief pause, Ximen Lu said, "Xu Shiqi, I’ve realized today that Chu Fei is just a degenerate who deserves a good beating. He does have some boundaries though. The more you’re afraid of him, the more he pushes. But if you throw caution to the wind, he gets scared. In short, he’s just one thing—cheap!"

"Damn!"

Chu Fei listened in frustration. He wasn’t trying to hurt her, so how did he end up with such a reputation? Couldn’t she show a little humanity?

—

Whether it was Ximen Lu’s provocation or not, Chu Fei found himself successfully sleepless. Alone, he tossed and turned until dawn, unable to find a trace of sleep. Worse, every time he closed his eyes, images of Ximen Lu and Xu Shiqi’s half-naked scene from when he entered kept flashing before him, sometimes even the alluring face of his foster sister Bai Yanchu...

Damn it.

The more he couldn’t sleep, the more irritable he became.

Chu Fei finally understood what it meant to be consumed by desire—he was suffering acutely.

Was he really going to sneak out to a nightclub to relieve himself?

He was lost in these thoughts when suddenly his ears pricked up. Thanks to his extraordinary hearing, he caught the faint sound of a door opening—not his own, but Ximen Lu’s master bedroom next door. The sound was so soft that only someone listening carefully could pick it up.

Then came light footsteps.

Chu Fei assumed it was Ximen Lu or Xu Shiqi getting up to use the bathroom, but his mind grew even more feverish, conjuring forbidden images of what they might be wearing—was it as scanty as what he’d seen earlier?

But soon, he sensed something was off.

The footsteps paused in the living room for more than ten seconds before moving again—not toward the bathroom, but straight to Chu Fei’s little bedroom. Soon, the door clicked softly...

A graceful figure slipped inside, moving like a thief. The door closed quickly, and she crept toward the bed...

Xu Shiqi!

Chu Fei squinted, watching the woman sneak into his room like a burglar. It was indeed Xu Shiqi the class monitor, but in this moment, there was nothing intellectual or elegant about her—she was utterly furtive, a natural thief.

As Xu Shiqi reached the bed and bent down to peer at Chu Fei, as if hesitating, Chu Fei suddenly opened his eyes...

"Ah—mm—"

Xu Shiqi hadn’t expected Chu Fei to open his eyes so suddenly. She instinctively screamed, but before she could get a sound out, Chu Fei covered her mouth, muffling her cry. Then, feeling her waist tighten, she was pulled onto the bed, landing directly atop Chu Fei, pressed against him...

"Xu Shiqi, sneaking into my room, what are you up to?"

Chu Fei stared fiercely at Xu Shiqi’s face, so close it almost touched his, his desire rising uncontrollably...

"I—I went into the wrong room," Xu Shiqi bit her lip, twisting lightly to escape his grip, but unable to break free...

"Wrong room? Really?" Chu Fei grinned wickedly, not believing a word. He’d been resigned to a sleepless night, but hadn’t expected Xu Shiqi to sneak into his room. The moment he saw her, he made up his mind—there was no way he would let her go.

"Really, really!" Xu Shiqi bit her lip...

"Still lying?"

Chu Fei smirked, flipping over to pin Xu Shiqi beneath him...
