Chapter 255 - 138: Su Ran, Who Do You Like the Most?

Chapter 255: Chapter 138: Su Ran, Who Do You Like the Most?

Xiao Wanqing turned off her phone screen with a smile, humming a song. "A small boat drifts back and forth, to the coast of Matisse, a starry night left for Van Gogh to set alight, a dream too beautiful and brief..."

With a cheerful spring in her step, she headed toward the entrance of her residential complex.

As a top dance student, her every step was perfectly rhythmic.

Xiao Wanqing lived in a residential complex in Shanghai’s Xujiahui district. As she walked out, she glanced at the private club from last time. It was closed down now, having been reported for prostitution. As for who made the report... well, Xiao Wanqing would tell you it wasn’t her.

The late-night snack shops lining the street were bustling with business under the night sky. Humming her tune, Xiao Wanqing walked along the road and turned into a small alley. Deep inside was an incredible food stall with over twenty years of history—the kind of hidden gem outsiders never find.

The late-night alley was cast in the glow of a dim streetlight.

Xiao Wanqing walked ahead, her pace gradually slowing. Her eyes shifted to the shadows on the adjacent wall. She saw her own, and behind it, the silhouette of a stranger approaching step by step.

’Heh. Amateur.’

Xiao Wanqing muttered, completely unafraid. Her ten years of Taekwondo training weren’t for show.

Men only ever got close when she allowed it; none had ever dared to try and force the issue.

Just then, she saw the person behind her draw near, raising a hand to place it on her shoulder.

Xiao Wanqing spun around, grabbed his wrist, and kicked straight up into his crotch.

Ah, this~

"Sister Wanqing, it’s me..."

"Ah! Su Ran, why is it you?"

Xiao Wanqing frantically let go, watching as Su Ran clutched his vital parts, his face pale with pain.

Luckily, Xiao Wanqing was wearing fluffy slippers, which reduced her attack power by 50 points.

Xiao Wanqing tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and crouched in front of Su Ran, asking with deep regret, "Are you okay?"

"What do you think!"

Su Ran, still clutching himself in agony, said, "Xiao Wanqing, you’re ruthless. If you had been wearing high heels, you would have completely ruined me."

’I really need to learn martial arts,’ Su Ran thought. ’Otherwise, I won’t be able to win a fight against any of the women in my life.’

"I didn’t know it was you! I’m just very security-conscious. I saw someone behind me about to get handsy, so I went into self-defense mode. I never imagined it would be you. Why did you just sneak up on me like that?"

"I came to Shanghai to surprise you. I was downstairs about to call when I saw you sneaking into this little alley, so I followed you to see what you were up to."

"And what did you think I was going into an alley for?"

"I... I... I thought you were going to buy a late-night snack, of course."

"Alright, alright, I’m sorry..." Xiao Wanqing shuffled closer and wrapped her arms around Su Ran, resting her head against his. "Does it still hurt a lot?"

Su Ran nodded earnestly. "Why don’t you let me kick you and see for yourself?"

"You..." Xiao Wanqing bit her lip. She glanced down at his hand covering his jeans, her guilt swelling. Then, she leaned in and gave him a fleeting kiss on the lips. "Does it still hurt now?"

"It’s not my mouth that hurts, so what good is kissing it?"

Crude, but he had a point.

"Why are you getting mad at me? It was an accident! Don’t be so petty."

"Me, petty? Xiao Wanqing, are you even making sense? I’m about to swell up down there, and you’re calling me *small*?"

"Ugh, you’re so annoying." Xiao Wanqing glanced around. "Get up. Come on, get up! Are you getting up or not!" She forcefully yanked Su Ran to his feet, grabbed his hand, and rushed into a deserted dead-end alley nearby.

Su Ran asked, "Sister Wanqing, what are you doing?"

Xiao Wanqing turned on her phone’s flashlight. "Take them off. Let me see."

Su Ran: "No."

"Do you want another kick to go with that?"

SIGH...

"It really does look swollen. How about I take you to the hospital to get it checked out?"

"Sister Wanqing, you seem even more worried about it than I am."

"Of course I am! If you’re really broken, your dear Sister Jinyu would probably hack me to death."

"And what about you? You wouldn’t get to play with it anymore either, right?"

"What are you talking about? I... I wouldn’t miss it at all!"

Xiao Wanqing hesitated. She felt this was her fault for being so reckless and decided she needed to offer some compensation. With that, she pushed Su Ran against the wall behind him, pinning him there.

"What are you doing?"

"Shh. No talking. Just use your mouth."

With that, she closed her eyes and initiated a kiss. As her hand lowered, the beam of her phone’s flashlight landed on a stray cat nearby.

A moment later.

Xiao Wanqing opened her tender, beautiful eyes and pulled away from his lips. She watched with a pained expression as Su Ran licked the peach-colored lip gloss from his own.

"Feeling any better?"

"Much better."

"I’m sorry, I really didn’t know it was you. Su Ran, maybe we should still go to the hospital for a check-up. What if... you know... its function is affected?"

"It’s fine. I can tell it hasn’t been affected."

"How can you tell?"

"It can move."

"You..." Xiao Wanqing’s face flushed red as she swung a small fist at him, but Su Ran caught it easily. Here she was, a Taekwondo black belt, being overpowered by a man supposedly too weak to even truss a chicken. No, wait! He was a man whose only strength was in handling his own ’rooster’.

Xiao Wanqing hugged Su Ran tightly for a good while, a sort of compensation via soft, squishy pressure.

"Is it all better now?"

"Much better. SIGH. But I probably won’t be able to have any... deep exchanges with Sister Wanqing for the next couple of days."

"That’s fine. I don’t mind."

’A couple of relaxing days for me,’ Xiao Wanqing thought with a brilliant smile. ’That’s actually pretty nice.’

"Come on, let’s go get that late-night snack. I’ll take you to my place afterward. My dad has been talking my ear off about you lately, saying he wants to thank you properly."

"Alright. I’ll go see your parents. But after that... where will I be sleeping?"

"Take a guess."

Xiao Wanqing gave him a smile that said it all.
