Chapter 242: Chapter 156: Send Him a Box

She had a fresh, gentle look, but her legs were what really stood out.

Seeing her settled in, Xiao Ran closed the passenger door and returned to the driver’s seat.

He was about to buckle his own seatbelt when he noticed she hadn’t buckled hers either.

He subconsciously leaned over to pull the seatbelt across for Yan Xici.

The girl was still immersed in her curiosity, looking all around like a wide-eyed child.

She jumped as his whole body leaned over her.

Her heart skipped a beat, and a sweet, thrilling sensation filled her mind.

So much so that her gaze became a little hazy.

’Is... is he going to kiss me?’

They had kissed before, but her heart still raced uncontrollably every time.

It always sent a pleasant rush through her.

It was a little intoxicating.

Just as she braced herself...

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran just pulled the seatbelt across and clicked it into the buckle by the side of her seat.

Looking at his handsome face, Yan Xici pouted her pink, moist lips in displeasure. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her expression turned to one of disappointment.

’Fine, so I was overthinking things.’

’But why do I feel so let down?’

Seeing her expression, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but ask in surprise, "What’s wrong?"

’Why does she look so resentful?’

"You weren’t getting the wrong idea, were you? Wishful thinking."

He felt an inexplicable sense of smugness.

Yan Xici was already disappointed, so seeing his expression, a wave of defiance instantly surged within her.

’Hmph!’

’What’s so great about you!’

’If you won’t kiss me, fine! I’ll just kiss you!’

She glared at Xiao Ran defiantly. The next second, she cupped his cheeks with her two delicate hands, aimed for his lips, and planted a precise kiss on them!

The girl’s lips were very soft. She had probably put on lip balm, as they had a faint strawberry taste.

It felt like eating jelly.

Especially that touch of moist warmth; it was like a tickle right on the tip of his heart.

It made his body go numb and tingly.

But to be honest, it was a very enjoyable feeling.

He was just about to get more into it.

Unfortunately, as if on purpose, the moment she sensed his enthusiasm, she tensed up and leaned back against her seat.

Then she raised an eyebrow, giving Xiao Ran a smug smile.

"Hmph. There’s a price to pay for teasing me!"

’Just like how he always makes *me* pay a price.’

Looking at her adorable, slightly prideful little expression...

Xiao Ran felt like his heart was about to melt.

He feigned helplessness and nodded. "Alright, I’ll let you have that one for free. Next time... next time I’ll be sure to get you back."

With that, he skillfully started the car.

?

The girl beside him froze.

Even her long, fair legs couldn’t help but squeeze together a little.

’What does he mean, "be sure to get you back" next time?’

’Such predatory words! He must be from the Divine Realm!’

’Why does it sound like he’s going to do something to me!’

The August sun was so hot it felt like it could roast a person alive.

Xiao Ran connected his phone via Bluetooth.

It was an American country-folk song again, "The Sound of Silence."

It was a very old song, but he liked it a lot.

Every time he listened to it, the world felt more pleasant and cheerful.

Yan Xici sat in the comfortable, air-conditioned car, listening to the gentle music. She felt as if she were completely cut off from the outside world.

Her pretty legs couldn’t help but relax a little more.

A sliver of the pale, smooth skin on her inner thighs was faintly visible.

Even though the car windows were tinted, the sunlight filtering through made her already-fair skin seem to glow.

She naturally didn’t grow much body hair. Many girls needed hair removal cream every summer, but Yan Xici never did.

That was just her constitution; not only did she not need it on her body, but even her underarms were fair and clear.

Not only did her skin look incredibly tender and supple, but it also felt exceptionally silky smooth to the touch.

The feel of it was simply incredible.

The bored girl also noticed this and snuck a glance at Xiao Ran, who was driving.

She said, deliberately showing off, "I just realized my legs look really good."

’It must be the sunlight and this posture today. They really look much better than usual.’

’I was always sitting on an electric scooter before, so I never really observed my own legs like this.’

’Pale, smooth, firm skin; long, straight shape.’

’Even I’m happy just looking at them.’

Xiao Ran froze for a second, his eyes instinctively drifting toward her.

He had to admit, they really were beautiful.

They were as pleasing to the eye as any model’s legs—in fact, they were even a bit better.

They looked like they’d come straight out of a manga.

He swallowed hard. "Don’t distract the driver."

’Is she teasing me because my hands are full?’

’Show off all you want. Sooner or later, I’m going to have some fun with those legs!’

Hearing this, Yan Xici put on a disdainful look.

She pouted and muttered under her breath, "Tch, no fun..."

’This guy can’t read any signs of intimacy at all. I’m starting to wonder which one of us is in their first relationship.’

’If he doesn’t like them, fine. I like them!’

With that thought, the girl lowered her head and gently stroked the skin of her own thigh with her long fingers.

Then she sighed in admiration, "My skin is so nice."

She gave it another pinch. "Mm, and the elasticity is great, too."

’I refuse to believe he can have zero reaction to this!’

Xiao Ran: "..."

’Temptation. This is definitely temptation!’

’She’s taking advantage of the fact that my hands are tied!’

The car was waiting at a red light, about to enter the left-turn lane. They were only fifty meters away from Jiaotong University.

It was a Friday afternoon, and many students didn’t have classes. Having just finished lunch, they were all outside—some hailing cabs, others walking. It was extremely lively.
