Free Web NovelChapter 168: Chapter 131: Obey! Shake Hands
This time, her voice was even louder than before, carrying an undeniable authority.
Upon hearing the sharp reprimand, Shen Yuan felt his legs go weak, and his body involuntarily started to crumple. He quickly straightened up, however, and looked at Li Zhi in alarm, stammering, "Wh-what kind of Magic did you use on me?"
Li Zhi tilted her head to the same angle as Shen Yuan, her long ponytail cascading down with the pull of gravity.
The beautiful girl’s smile grew even brighter as she said softly, "It’s Witchcraft. The kind that can turn people into little puppies."
With that, the corners of Li Zhi’s mouth lifted. She suddenly reached out and patted Shen Yuan on the head, then held her palm up in front of him and said in a sweet voice, "Shake!"
Shen Yuan’s eyes widened in utter disbelief.
"You!"
’This is going too far.’
’She’s really pushing my buttons!’
"No! Absolutely not!" Shen Yuan lifted his chin, shaking off the hand Li Zhi had placed on his head, and put his own hands behind his back.
"I won’t do it, no matter what. A proud man like me can’t possibly..."
Before Shen Yuan could finish, Li Zhi was already standing on her tiptoes, leaning in close.
A citrus scent wafted past Shen Yuan’s nose as she leaned forward. Before he could react, the beautiful girl had swiftly seized his wrist.
The warmth from Li Zhi’s fingertips traveled up from his wrist, and Shen Yuan’s entire body stiffened.
Before Shen Yuan’s brain could catch up, he saw Li Zhi take his hand and place it flat in her own palm.
Shen Yuan’s hand was larger, completely covering Li Zhi’s.
Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan and instructed him seriously, "Learn this well. Next time I tell you to shake, you put your hand right here!"
As she spoke, Li Zhi moved Shen Yuan’s hand away.
Then, the beautiful girl once again held her palm out to Shen Yuan and said seriously:
"Shake."
The tips of Shen Yuan’s ears flushed red. He stubbornly craned his neck and said, "You..."
"Be a good boy! Shake!"
Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan earnestly, her face full of patience.
Shen Yuan took a deep breath. Then, as if throwing caution to the wind, he brought his hand down toward Li Zhi’s palm, but just before making contact, he suddenly eased up, letting it rest gently against hers instead.
The moment Shen Yuan’s fingertips touched Li Zhi’s palm, he felt the girl’s skin, as delicate as snowmelt in early spring. The lines of her palm seemed to press faintly into the thin calluses on his fingers.
An unusual warmth spread from where their hands met, and the pulse beating at the girl’s wrist seemed to resonate with the pounding of the boy’s heart.
"There. Happy now?"
Shen Yuan turned his head to look at a distant plant, his heart racing.
"You pass!"
Li Zhi suddenly let go, quickly took half a step back, and clasped her hands behind her. Tilting her head slightly, she studied the boy who stood frozen in place, a look of great interest on her face.
Her eyes twinkled like stars in the night sky, and they danced as if a mischievous child had just pulled off a successful prank, revealing a hint of barely perceptible pride.
"Hmm, it seems you’re quite talented."
The corners of Li Zhi’s mouth lifted into a faint smile as she said softly, "If you keep up your studies, you might just become a certified companion dog." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Hearing this, Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then a playful grin spread across his face. He replied jokingly, "Oh? Don’t they say that companion dogs have to sleep with their owners?"
However, before the words were even out of his mouth, he saw Li Zhi’s face instantly turn as red as a ripe apple.
The beautiful girl’s brows furrowed tightly. Her gorgeous eyes widened as she glared at him and snapped, "Pervert!"
Daily Mission: A Rebuke from a Beautiful Girl (Complete)!
Shen Yuan zoned out for a second.
’Wait, I didn’t do a mission, did I?’
’I’ve been too busy with my Kegels lately to do any dailies.’
’Oh well, whatever. Might as well go with the flow.’
Shen Yuan let out a long, relieved sigh.
’That hit the spot.’
Just then, the elevator doors opened, and a few people walked out.
Shen Yuan and Li Zhi immediately composed themselves.
Goofing off in Class 15 was one thing—everyone in Class 15 goofed off. But in the apartment complex, if someone saw them, it was better to act a bit more mature. freeweɓnovel.cøm
After stepping into the elevator, the two, who had been so lively just moments before, instantly quieted down.
As for the reason, it was probably because of the security camera in the elevator.
The elevator ascended slowly, finally stopping smoothly at floor 19A.
As the elevator doors slid open, the two childhood friends walked out one after the other.
Li Zhi walked with a brisk pace to her front door and expertly inserted the key into the lock, preparing to open it.
Standing to the side, Shen Yuan watched Li Zhi’s hurried movements. The corners of his mouth lifted as he deliberately tested her, "So you’re really not coming over?"
"Nope!" Li Zhi’s reply was crisp and decisive. She didn’t even glance back at Shen Yuan, her focus remaining on opening the door.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan didn’t give up. He continued to tease her, "Alright, alright. I’ll just go back and tell the kittens their mommy doesn’t want them anymore, and that they only have their daddy to rely on now."
Hearing this, Li Zhi’s body abruptly went rigid.
The beautiful girl froze as if she’d been petrified, her hands stopping their motion. Then, like an enraged kitten, she whipped her head around. A dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.
"You wouldn’t dare!" Li Zhi’s voice was laced with a clear threat.
Shen Yuan paid the threat in her voice no mind.
He chuckled mischievously and said with a devil-may-care attitude, "And why wouldn’t I? I absolutely would. In fact, I’m going to tell them right now!"
With that, Shen Yuan made a show of turning to open his own door.
