Lin Qingqing’s voice seemed to whisper directly into my ear, sending shivers down my spine.
It felt as if someone had just pushed me.
In an instant, I was backed into a corner of the subway car.
Through the semi-transparent glass, Chen Ran could see the young men and women, as well as the middle-aged men and women, crammed into the carriage behind him.
And there, almost pressed against his back, was Lin Qingqing.
The girl was still wearing her school’s uniform, her baby-faced cheeks peeking out over his shoulder, as if she were standing on her tiptoes to let her pretty face blow warm air directly onto his earlobe.
“Are you pretending not to know me, old man?”
The girl’s voice was soft and tingly, especially when it crept directly into his ear, making his bones feel lighter.
But Chen Ran was extremely unhappy.
Who does she call old man? Although it doesn’t matter, I am only a year or two older than you!
With a cold expression, he decided not to pay attention to this strange person.
Thinking about what Lin Qingqing had done last night, Chen Ran felt that she was an incredibly annoying person, and getting involved with her would only bring endless trouble.
But.
Chen Ran didn’t want to pay attention to Lin Qingqing, but Lin Qingqing wanted to pay attention to Chen Ran.
Especially when she saw the boy’s distant and cold expression, she wanted to provoke him even more.
Hehe, that’s what makes it interesting!
Today on the train was definitely not a coincidence, because Lin Qingqing had already scouted Chen Ran’s daily routine.
A skilled hunter, of course, will observe their prey’s habits before striking!
And Chen Ran’s life was simple enough.
From Monday to Friday, he worked at a convenience store every day, from 9 AM to 9 PM.
It was almost too predictable.
But every Saturday, Chen Ran would take the subway to Xi Jing City.
He would go in the morning and return in the afternoon, then spend the whole day at home on Sundays, or occasionally go out to buy groceries.
After figuring this out, Lin Qingqing easily came up with her own “battle plan.”
Apart from last night’s first battle, today’s “second battle” on the subway was also something the girl had planned, waiting for Chen Ran to take the bait and never let him escape!
Hmph!
Remembering last night’s “humiliation,” Lin Qingqing was furious.
She had tormented so many prey before, and never once failed.
It was only with Chen Ran that she didn’t get her way, and he even made her angry.
How dare he!
So Lin Qingqing decided to give Chen Ran a big surprise today…
…
“Old man, old man, old man~”
The girl continued to murmur in Chen Ran’s ear.
She seemed to know this would annoy him, but she did it on purpose.
“I’ll count to three, and you better turn around and talk to me, or else… Hmph~”
“One…”
“Three!”
Alright, so he’s really not going to pay attention to me, huh!
Lin Qingqing saw through the subway window reflection, Chen Ran’s face was still calm, almost too cold, just like when he rode away last night without looking back.
She got even angrier!
If that’s the case, don’t blame me…
…
Chen Ran suddenly felt something.
He really didn’t plan to pay attention to Lin Qingqing, because the more you pay attention to her, the more she gets into it, so the best way is to ignore her.
But.
Chen Ran underestimated Lin Qingqing’s “courage.”
He originally thought she was just a troublesome, unlucky kid.
But actually, Lin Qingqing was a really troublesome, unlucky kid.
So Chen Ran didn’t expect that suddenly, the girl behind him would press right up against him, even more intimately than before, so much that he could feel her softness through his thin summer shirt…
???
Chen Ran was stunned, especially when he realized Lin Qingqing’s hands were already on his waist, and then they moved upward.
What is she doing?
Chen Ran quickly understood what Lin Qingqing was doing.
Because the girl, who was now even closer, softly whispered in his ear, “Not going to talk to me, old man? Alright~”
“But you won’t regret it, old man. Your life might as well end right here, hmph hmph hmph.”
What is she talking about?
Chen Ran was confused.
Soon, he heard Lin Qingqing whisper, “You don’t want your family to know that you were groping a girl’s butt on the subway, do you, old man?”
Suddenly, Chen Ran felt Lin Qingqing’s hand on his butt.
This girl, is she trying to…
Before Chen Ran could react, Lin Qingqing, without any hesitation, grabbed his hand and let out a high-pitched scream with her girlish voice, “There’s a pervert, a molester!!!”
“!!!”
The innocent, beautiful girl instantly captured everyone’s attention, and Chen Ran never expected that Lin Qingqing would be so ruthless.
The girl, with her slightly upturned, smug smile, was telling him, [Just wait to be arrested by the police and have your family bail you out.]
And that’s not all.
Lin Qingqing quickly took out her phone and started snapping pictures of him, obviously preparing to humiliate him both online and offline…
…
Hmph, now you know how awesome I am, right?
Lin Qingqing, looking at Chen Ran’s stunned face, was extremely pleased in her heart.
Like giving me attitude? Hmph!
Wait until he comes to beg me to delete the photos and not tell anyone about this.
I’ll make him do whatever I want.
Give me his pocket money every day, polish my shoes, run errands, make him prank people I don’t like… There are so many fun things to do.
Having a “toy,” there are just too many interesting things to do.
I just hope Chen Ran doesn’t break too easily, there have been quite a few who were bullied to the point of dropping out, transferring schools, or even leaving this city to go back home, huh huh.
But just as Lin Qingqing was smugly thinking that she had definitely won, she suddenly saw Chen Ran’s cold expression turn to anger, and he raised his hand.
What is he going to do?
Lin Qingqing didn’t know, but Chen Ran’s palm quickly fell, landing on the girl’s face with a loud “slap!”
The girl’s once smug face instantly turned a deep red, not from embarrassment, but…
“Are you crazy?!”
“You dare hit me?!”
