Every time Jiang Yan went out, she would peek around cautiously, checking if Jiang Youbai was outside before deciding whether to leave or not.
But if Jiang Youbai really wanted to catch her, this tactic would be utterly useless.
Most of the students had already left the classroom. Afraid of being left alone, Jiang Yan nervously clung to the doorframe, trying to take a look outside. Suddenly, she felt a firm grip around her waist.
Jiang Yan's eyes widened in surprise. Before she could react, Jiang Youbai had swept her up into his arms.
The few remaining classmates in the room let out excited gasps at the spectacle.
Jiang Youbai held Jiang Yan securely, one arm around her waist, his long, strong fingers curving around her side. His other arm supported her knees while simultaneously holding down her skirt.
He effortlessly lifted Jiang Yan, bouncing her slightly in his arms, and flashed a smile at the onlooking classmates. "Just picking up my girlfriend after class. See you all later!"
Caught off guard and not wanting to make a scene in front of her classmates, his "girlfriend" allowed herself to be carried to an empty classroom.
The student council president was exceptionally familiar with the school's layout. He set Jiang Yan down and turned to close the door.
An empty classroom, dim lighting, and a seemingly upset young man... Jiang Yan's guilt reached its peak. She took a step back before asking, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Youbai sat on a desk near the door, his long legs stretched out. Noticing her retreat, he drawled lazily, "What are you afraid of? I'm not going to eat you. I'm your boyfriend, not some villain."
Jiang Yan had to admit he had a point. He surely wouldn't actually hurt her.
"Your boyfriend has a few questions for you," Jiang Youbai suddenly said.
Jiang Yan looked up as he asked nonchalantly, "You've been avoiding me. Is it because of Lu Yang?"
Jiang Yan frowned and remained silent, unsure how to respond given that she did seem to be two-timing. Her sullen expression, however, made her look more like a wronged victim.
Jiang Youbai reached out and poked her cheek playfully, though his tone remained confident. "I'll take that as a yes."
Jiang Yan thought to herself: How did he figure that out?
"Didn't you promise me earlier that you'd broken off the engagement and cut all contact?" Jiang Youbai suddenly raised an eyebrow and asked, "What, having second thoughts now?"
This accusation was quite serious, and Jiang Yan didn't dare to respond.
Jiang Youbai, however, once again accurately extracted information from her silence, nodding to himself. "Seems like you've been considering it."
Jiang Yan grew increasingly flustered, wracking her brain for some excuse... How could she make her boyfriend understand that he and his rival were the same person?
But Jiang Youbai didn't continue his questioning. His lips pressed into a thin line as he stood up and grabbed Jiang Yan's arm.
A light, creamy scent enveloped her, its merciless invasion making Jiang Yan dizzy. Her back pressed against the wall.
Through her thin blouse, she could feel the cool smoothness of the wall. In front of her, Jiang Youbai pressed his forehead against hers, his fingers teasingly pinching her cheek as he murmured, "Why are you being so naughty, you little minx, wanting to have your cake and eat it too?"
Her cheeks burned hot, contrasting with the cool wall behind her, making Jiang Yan shiver involuntarily.
Jiang Youbai caught the scent of fresh grass, typically a refreshing aroma, but now tinged with shy desire.
"Can your boyfriend have a kiss?" Jiang Youbai coaxed, his lips brushing against Jiang Yan's cheek.
The grassy scent seemed to intensify, yet Jiang Youbai was being uncharacteristically gentlemanly, seeking permission for each move.
Finally, Jiang Yan, trembling with watery eyes and parted pink lips, could bear it no longer and whispered, "Kiss me..."
At her consent, he claimed her lips forcefully. Surprisingly, despite the cream scent's innocuous nature, on Jiang Youbai, it became incredibly invasive.
As their lips and tongues met, Jiang Yan pressed against the wall, her hands forced to grip the surface, looking helpless and pitiful.
Meanwhile, Jiang Youbai savored his rightful treat with deliberate slowness, invading her senses.
Suddenly, footsteps echoed from outside the classroom. It seemed the remaining classmates were leaving... and they were about to pass by this very room!
Jiang Yan began to push against Jiang Youbai, but he wouldn't let go. Instead, he boldly slipped his hand inside her school uniform...
The footsteps drew closer, and the fear of discovery grew! Jiang Yan was on the verge of tears.
Only then did Jiang Youbai pull back slightly, resting his forehead against hers as he caught his breath. His words brushed her cheek as he spoke lazily, "The windows in the school are made of special material. Without the switch turned on, no one can see inside. Forgot about that?"
Jiang Yan finally relaxed.
The footsteps outside gradually faded away.
Jiang Youbai's hand had somehow found its way to the edge of Jiang Yan's collar. He pressed against her, his fingers lightly tugging at the neckline of her blouse.
