Chapter 164: My First Kiss
“Everyone continue!” Xia Chenge walked to the side, clearing the space.
At this, everyone looked at each other, and not a single person stepped forward.
Seeing this, Ning Xia really wanted to fight Xia Chenge. Her hands were itching! But thinking of her mission, she once again forced herself to suppress that impulse.
“Train, train!” Ning Xia said, and the others quickly returned to their positions.
They were even more serious than when Xia Chenge had entered earlier.
Xia Chenge was very satisfied with this effect. Her and Ling Hanmu’s appearance this time was not for training, but to make it clear to the participating personnel that they were not just playing around!
The reason Ling Hanmu didn’t make a move was also because she wanted those watching her to know that Xia Chenge was full of secrets.
The martial arts teacher hesitated for a long time before mustering the courage to step forward: “Miss Chenge, could you also guide them? I feel like I’m showing off in front of you!”
Ling Hanmu heard this and felt honored: “Don’t be self-conscious. After all, this Young Master’s little brother is definitely better than you. Train as you normally would. The movie needs the filming effect, not actual combat.”
“Yes, yes, understood!” The martial arts teacher quickly and respectfully replied, not daring to say more.
This was because Young Master Ling had a notorious reputation in Haicheng!
Xia Chenge didn’t say anything. She watched for a while and found no issues. Ling Hanmu was right; they only needed the filming effect, not a real fight. They were already sufficient as they were!
“Let’s go.” Xia Chenge didn’t linger too long. There was a competition in the afternoon, and Ling Hanmu needed rest to maintain his stamina.
“Okay.” Ling Hanmu naturally slung an arm around Xia Chenge’s shoulders and walked out, smiling like a simpleton from a wealthy family.
Everyone watched the two leave, and the atmosphere in the training room finally relaxed.
“Let’s find some time to spar.” After going downstairs, Xia Chenge suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ling Hanmu, “What do you think?”
“I won’t fight you,” Ling Hanmu refused without thinking. “You can hit me if you want, but I won’t fight back.”
“I’m being serious!” Xia Chenge punched him lightly. “No holding back.”
Ling Hanmu looked troubled. “Little brother, I won’t commit domestic violence against you.”
“Pfft!” Xia Chenge sputtered. What was he talking about? Domestic violence?
“What are you thinking? I just want to see your strength. We’ll stop when it’s enough. If you don’t agree or go easy on me, don’t talk to me anymore!” Xia Chenge feigned anger.
Before she knew about Ling Hanmu’s abnormality, she had fallen into his hands unintentionally several times. Now, she wanted to see if Ling Hanmu, without entering his berserk state, was still extraordinary.
Ling Hanmu said urgently, “Don’t be like that, I’ll agree, okay?”
“Good boy!” Xia Chenge patted his incredibly handsome face and smiled with satisfaction.
Only then did Ling Hanmu realize he had been tricked. He huffed and looked away, muttering, “You just like to bully me.”
Xia Chenge cupped his face and kept contorting it into various funny faces. “So what if I bully you?”
“What can I do? I can only let you bully me,” Ling Hanmu resigned himself. “Who made me like you so much.”
Xia Chenge paused, looking at him intently. His obsidian eyes reflected only her, filled with deep affection.
Ling Hanmu gazed at her stunning face and, as if possessed, lowered his head and kissed Xia Chenge’s pink lips.
As their lips met, Xia Chenge’s clear eyes suddenly widened. Her mind went blank, and the world instantly fell silent, as if only the two of them existed and nothing else could be heard.
Ling Hanmu, on the other hand, only realized what he was doing after kissing Xia Chenge. For a moment, his face turned red all the way to his neck, and his heart pounded as if it would leap out of his chest.
Blushing, he stared blankly at the stunned Xia Chenge.
After a while, he released Xia Chenge and awkwardly averted his gaze, not daring to look at her.
Xia Chenge finally came back to her senses, but when she saw Ling Hanmu’s obviously shy expression, she burst out laughing.
She had always thought Ling Hanmu was so unrestrained and bold, surely accustomed to being audacious. She never expected him to get shy after kissing a girl!
Hahaha…
Had she struck gold?
“Hey!” Xia Chenge deliberately bumped into him, teasing him. “Xiao Mu, why is your face so red?”
“It’s a bit hot!” Ling Hanmu quickly fanned himself. “Ah, this weather is something else.”
Xia Chenge suppressed a laugh and pointed to the sky. “I don’t think it’s hot. The weather is quite nice. Look at that cloud in the sky.”
“Huh? What about that cloud?” Ling Hanmu squinted and followed Xia Chenge’s gaze.
“Doesn’t it look like you when you’re shy?” Xia Chenge leaned closer and chuckled softly.
Boom. Ling Hanmu’s handsome face, which had only slightly faded from its blush, turned red all over again.
Xia Chenge burst into laughter. She never knew how fun it was to tease a pure young man. Who would have thought that Ling Hanmu, who appeared so arrogant and overbearing, was actually so easily embarrassed?
Ling Hanmu, his face flushed, stared at Xia Chenge, unsure how to react.
After laughing her fill, Xia Chenge suddenly tiptoed and planted a kiss on Ling Hanmu’s rosy cheek. “Xiao Mu, I really like how cute you are.”
Having said that, she looked at Ling Hanmu with a smile.
Ling Hanmu looked at her, and slowly, a brilliant smile bloomed.
“Let’s go!” Xia Chenge was in a great mood and proactively linked her arm with his, pulling him along.
Ling Hanmu felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
“That was my first kiss,” he said abruptly after a few steps.
Xia Chenge stopped and tilted her head, looking at him without speaking.
“So, you have to take responsibility to the end,” Ling Hanmu said with a serious expression.
“I’m sticking with you for the rest of my life.”
“Who told you to take so many of my first times!”
“Don’t even think about shaking me off.”
“Okay!” Xia Chenge cut him off, her smile fading as she nodded with utmost solemnity. “I’ll take responsibility, so you’re mine.”
Ling Hanmu froze on the spot.
What, what did he just hear?
He wasn’t hallucinating, was he?
“Did I get heatstroke?” After a long while, he foolishly asked Xia Chenge.
“No,” Xia Chenge shook her head patiently.
“So you said you’d take responsibility for me?”
“Mm!”
“I didn’t mishear?”
“No!”
“Ah, that’s great.” Ling Hanmu suddenly hugged Xia Chenge, excitedly spinning in place, unable to contain his excitement.
Xia Chenge looked at his happy expression. Her heart, which had never been moved by love before, was now filled with sweetness and a sense of satisfaction she had never experienced.
“Little brother, I feel like I’m on a cloud right now, floating without knowing north or south,” Ling Hanmu stopped spinning, tightly encircling Xia Chenge’s slender waist, his eyes shining as he looked at her.
“Then let’s float!” Xia Chenge smiled and pinched his face. “I allow you to have a girlish heart.”
