Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Qingqiu was wearing a smog-colored pleated skirt, a simple white T-shirt, and a pair of white shoes.
There were two obvious band-aids on her exposed heels.
There was a small bookshelf beside the sofa with a few books. There were also a few books and books in the corner of the coffee table.
It was Ye Qingqiu’s exercise book, textbooks, and extracurricular materials.
She picked up a book at random and opened it to read for a while.
!!
Perhaps it was because her posture was not comfortable, she hugged the book and lay on the sofa.
In fact, Ye Qingqiu had always been uninterested in books.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she couldn’t get over the hurdle of not reading, she would have never cared about her textbooks.
That was the only reason why she could enter and leave the office openly.
However, these books were too unlikable. They flipped and turned several times, refusing to read them.
Finally, when she changed her posture for the umpteenth time, Li Tingshen’s deep voice sounded from behind.
“If you can read a book in another position, I think those who study well are probably ADHD patients.”
Ye Qingqiu stopped midway. Her eyes darted around as she slowly adjusted her posture.
“The sofa is uncomfortable.”
Li Tingshen remained silent.
Ye Qingqiu stared at the ceiling and waited quietly for a few seconds. When she heard the sound of the keyboard in the room, she frowned and put down the book. She sat up quietly from the sofa and placed her hands on the back of the sofa, revealing half of her head.
Li Tingshen was diagonally in front of her and the keyboard was still typing. She stared at his hands that were dancing rapidly on the keyboard and felt that this man had hit the nail on the head.
Just looking at his hands working was so charming.
She tilted her head slightly, wanting to admire him. Just as her gaze landed on Li Tingshen’s face, she saw him looking at her.
Her black hair was a little messy on the sofa. Now, her hands were on the sofa, revealing her eyes. She looked like a kitten that was secretly peeping at its owner. She was confused, curious, and couldn’t hide her fondness.
Li Tingshen’s gaze landed on her exquisite face. “Your leg has recovered?”
Ye Qingqiu shook her head. “No.”
Li Tingshen looked at her expressionlessly.
Ye Qingqiu rested her chin on the back of her hand and stared at Li Tingshen with her beautiful eyes. She smiled and said, “But I want to see you. I’m not going to cry with you… It’ll take at least a week for me to recover completely. You’re so cruel to make me not see you for a week…”
She frowned and said that she wouldn’t cry, but her voice sounded as if she had suffered a huge grievance.
Li Tingshen stared at her aggrieved face for a few seconds before shifting his attention back to the computer.
“Go and read.”
Ye Qingqiu replied with a disappointed “Oh”. She slid down from the sofa and sat on it.
“Be quiet.”
She paused for a few seconds before taking out a book from the bottom drawer.
Li Tingshen knew that Ye Qingqiu would be obedient, but he didn’t expect her to be so obedient.
For nearly half an hour, there was really no sound other than the occasional sound of flipping pages.
It was rare for her to read so seriously.
She read through the documents and replied to the emails.
Other than the sound of flipping pages, there was only the sound of typing.
At this moment, Li Tingshen was composing an email. The cursor was still in the middle of the document. He suddenly stopped, stood up, and walked towards the sofa.
He didn’t deliberately hide his footsteps, so Ye Qingqiu might have noticed him.
He never knew that she could learn to such an extent.
However, when he stood behind her, she didn’t notice him.
Her hair was still a little messy. She sat cross-legged with a book in her hand, engrossed in it.
Frowning slightly, he shifted his gaze to the book in her hand.
His eyes narrowed and the glasses on his nose allowed him to see the words easily.
“… The top two buttons of the shirt are not buttoned up. From his angle, a portion of her full breasts is exposed. When his gaze moves down, it’s a light-colored short skirt, revealing her long legs…”
Li Tingshen’s pupils constricted and his expression turned cold.
“Ye Qingqiu…”
That gloomy voice that seemed to be wrapped in hundreds of layers of ice suddenly sounded. Ye Qingqiu’s shoulders shrank before she froze instantly.
After a long while, she turned around slowly and looked at Li Tingshen, who was standing behind her with a dark expression. Her lips twitched and she gave a stiff smile.
Her beautiful face was red all the way to her ears. If not for the hair on both sides of her face, Li Tingshen believed that her ears were red.
“You… you’re done?”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes flickered. As she spoke, she secretly moved the book to the side and closed it.
“This is the first time I’ve seen you reading so seriously.”
He walked around the sofa towards her.
Ye Qingqiu hurriedly hid the book behind her back.
Li Tingshen stood in front of her and watched as she placed her hands behind her back and leaned against the back of the sofa, looking at him warily.
“I’m just too tired from studying. I’m reading other extracurricular books…”
“After-school books?”
Ye Qingqiu nodded vigorously. “Yes, you have to read more books outside of class. It will help improve your comprehension…”
With that, Ye Qingqiu shifted her gaze elsewhere.
The man she liked was right in front of her every day, but she didn’t even look at him.
The office was exceptionally quiet.
Her chin was suddenly hooked by a cool hand. His thumb caressed her smooth chin before he exerted some force and lifted her face.
Ye Qingqiu had no choice but to look at him. She blinked her eyes, trying to hide the guilt and shame in her heart.
At this moment, Li Tingshen was bending over. His handsome face was inches away from hers. He wore a pair of silver-framed glasses and an expensive suit. He was noble and refined, calm and had an unfathomable danger. It made one curious and a little timid.
Especially his dark and narrow eyes under his glasses. They were filled with wisdom and sharpness.
Ye Qingqiu felt that she couldn’t take it anymore.
“What extracurricular book made you so obsessed? Hmm?”
Ye Qingqiu stared at Li Tingshen’s face and recalled the scene described in the book. Her face turned even redder.
“Just a… famous book.”
“What?”
Ye Qingqiu’s scalp turned numb. “Steel… How is steel made…”
Li Tingshen’s lips twitched imperceptibly.
“How is steel made? Yes, it’s indeed a world-famous book.”
“Ah… Yes…” Ye Qingqiu’s gaze swept to the side and she didn’t look at him.
“Then tell me, how is the protagonist’s steel made?”
How was steel made?
Ye Qingqiu wanted to bite her tongue off. Her mind was filled with thoughts of the man in the book.
“Yes… It’s a long story.”
Her nose was already sweating.
Li Tingshen looked at her flushed face and changed the topic. “Does your leg still hurt?”
Ye Qingqiu only wanted to change the topic and hurriedly nodded. “It hurts, but it’s much better when I see you!”
She still remembered the threat he had given her last night.
Thinking of how she had been successfully threatened by him last night, Ye Qingqiu raised her chin and removed her face from his hand.
“When I’m injured, I’ll feel aggrieved, sad, and unhappy. As my boyfriend, what you should do is to take care of me and make me happy. Tell me, isn’t it too much for me to appear in front of you after my injuries have completely healed?”
Li Tingshen raised his eyebrows and fell silent for two seconds. He nodded and said calmly,
“Yes, that’s true.”
Ye Qingqiu snorted and said, “I was really threatened by you yesterday… So now, it’s doubly painful and saddening. You can do whatever you want to coax me.”
“… Okay.”
Li Tingshen spat out a word and sat on the coffee table facing Ye Qingqiu.
Ye Qingqiu looked at him expectantly.
Li Tingshen pursed his lips and pinched her chin again. He wrapped his long arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
Then, amidst Ye Qingqiu’s exclamation, he kissed her lips.
Although they had done it last night, Ye Qingqiu was still stunned when she was kissed again.
When she regained her senses, Li Tingshen had already hugged her and spun her around. She was still in Li Tingshen’s arms, but Li Tingshen was already sitting on the sofa where she had been sitting.
She was kissed until she was confused. In the end, she was pressed onto the sofa by Li Tingshen.
Her heart was pounding and her face was unusually red.
She grabbed Li Tingshen’s shoulder nervously as some inappropriate scenes flashed across her mind.
Thinking of this, Li Tingshen suddenly stopped.
Then, she sat up and adjusted her glasses before picking up the book on her back.
Ye Qingqiu reacted and hurriedly jumped up to snatch it. Li Tingshen calmly grabbed her wrist with one hand and flipped through the book with the other.
Then, she looked at Ye Qingqiu with a faint smile.
“How is steel made, huh?”
Ye Qingqiu covered her burning face, feeling that she couldn’t keep this face anymore.
“Anyway… looking at the literal explanation, it… makes sense.”
After saying that, she covered her face and said, “Can we skip this topic? Don’t you know that it’s embarrassing to be caught reading this? You know that I suspect that you’re deliberately trying to embarrass me! What’s wrong with me reading this kind of book? Who hasn’t read this kind of thing before? This is the first time I’ve read it. I haven’t even seen the images. Don’t give me a psychological trauma, okay? How can I look at these things in the future?”
Li Tingshen’s face darkened. “You still want to watch it in the future?”
“Teacher said that if there’s anything you don’t understand, you have to watch and learn.”
Li Tingshen was speechless.
