Chapter 194: The Whole World is Dating ③
Nie Qiu wanted Li Kai to speak first so she could talk, but Li Kai didn’t speak, and Nie Qiu became anxious.
She pulled a large book from the bookshelf, opened it, covered her face, closed her eyes, then slowly stood on tiptoe and gently leaned close to Li Kai. Because her eyes were closed and the book blocked the light, she stood on tiptoe a bit higher and kissed Li Kai’s nose tip.
Li Kai felt a tickle on his nose tip. Under the shadow of the book, her face, so close, was flushed with shyness.
Nie Qiu also knew she had kissed the wrong place. She quickly opened her eyes a bit, then accurately kissed Li Kai’s lips, pulled back, and smiled, “Li Kai… I… look forward to you getting into the top 100.”
Li Kai touched his lips. “Okay.” Okay, I will get into the top 100.
Nie Qiu smiled. Their gazes met in the air, and both of them shyly looked away, but after a second, their gazes intertwined again.
Only their heads were obscured by the book. Zhang Haiyang and Huang Yan saw Nie Qiu holding a book to cover both of them.
Zhang Haiyang smiled, took a book from the bookshelf behind Huang Yan, opened it, covered Huang Yan’s eagerly watching gaze, and then lowered his head.
When she felt a shadow fall, Huang Yan turned her gaze to Zhang Haiyang, only to see his face getting closer and closer. Her face turned red, and she scolded, “Hey, what are you… doing…” The last word was drowned out between their lips.
Rows upon rows of bookshelves, the entire space filled with the scent of books. The wind outside rustled the curtains, and the rows of green trees outside happily shook their leaves, as if laughing heartily. Hidden by the books, the people here smiled at each other, looked away, then looked back at each other. They looked away again, then looked at each other again. Separated by a bookshelf, the people over there had their lips pressed together, blushing, their hearts pounding, everything so beautiful.
Thoughts swirled…
Nie Qiu knew that this boy in front of her was shy. Surprisingly, she was also a little shy, her heart fluttering, her feelings stirred, as if this was her true youth. Li Kai watched Nie Qiu smile and slowly reached out his hand, placing it beside Nie Qiu’s cheek. The smooth, soft touch confirmed that she was in his hands, she was his.
First kiss…
There was no passionate turning, no deep sucking, just lips touching lips. Neither of them made any other move, only hearing their own heartbeats. Huang Yan thought, perhaps this is dating! So this is what dating is like! Zhang Haiyang thought, her lips are so soft! What are kisses like on television? What else should he do?
The atmosphere was too good, no one spoke. Only the rustling sound of leaves outside the window could be heard.
When the four of them paid at the cashier counter, no one spoke. Even when they said goodbye, they felt a bit awkward.
He had a tutor before, but later, as the final exams got more intense, he didn’t have time for tutoring. After Li Kai returned home, he took out the homework and workbook from his tutoring sessions and carefully went through each problem. After dinner, he immediately picked up his books and studied until past ten o’clock at night before washing up and going to bed.
Since evening self-study sessions ended around nine or ten o’clock, he basically slept between ten and eleven every night and woke up at five in the morning. This was because Nie Qiu would lecture in class at six, and morning self-study was a little after seven. He was already used to this routine and wasn’t afraid of oversleeping tomorrow morning.
