Chapter 662: I'm very tender

Those words were like a bomb, exploding instantly beside Lin Yuan's ear.

He suddenly coughed violently, as if his own breath had choked him.

Lin Yuan, flustered, instinctively stepped back, his eyes full of shock, and hastily shouted:

"Nonsense! You're my student; our relationship can only be teacher-student. Don't spout such ridiculous talk!"

His voice trembled slightly, obviously frightened by You Nianchu's bold, blunt confession.

He never imagined You Nianchu would say something so directly, catching him off guard.

You Nianchu watched his flustered, helpless look, a flicker of sly satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

You Nianchu didn't retreat; instead, she stepped forward, closing the distance between them once more.

You Nianchu's tone held a hint of provocation and testing, her eyes and brows full of playful charm:

"What's wrong with a teacher-student relationship? Then it's just a teacher-student romance, Lin Laoshi. Don't you like someone younger than you?"

She said this, tilting her head slightly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lin Yuan……

You Nianchu's voice carried a soft, proud sweetness: "I've inquired clearly—Lin Laoshi, you're 29 this year, right? I'm 18, I'm eleven years younger than you. Don't you like eating tender grass?"

After her words fell, she deliberately leaned a little closer to Lin Yuan……

A faint fragrance from You Nianchu's body once again lingered around Lin Yuan's nostrils……

It was light and pleasant, carrying the pure sweetness unique to a young girl.

"I'm very tender, and I've never been in love before; the first person I've ever liked is you."

You Nianchu's voice was soft yet firm, her eyes full of sincerity and anticipation.

She showed no shyness at all, instead carrying a hint of determined confidence.

Lin Yuan stiffened all over at her words, her pleasant fragrance still lingering at his nose, her blunt confession echoing repeatedly in his mind……

Lin Yuan stood there dazed, his eyes unfocused.

Lin Yuan, for a moment, didn't know how to respond.

He looked at the girl before him, her face full of playful charm and her eyes resolute, his heart racing uncontrollably again.

In his flustered state, Lin Yuan could only feign sternness, lowly shouting at You Nianchu:

"Don't talk nonsense! If you keep talking nonsense, you won't need to come to my house for tutoring tomorrow, and your qualification for the competition will be revoked outright!"

Those words indeed worked; the smug look on You Nianchu's face vanished instantly, a flicker of panic flashing in her eyes.

She knew Lin Yuan meant what he said……

If she really lost her competition qualification, all her previous efforts and scheming would be wasted.

You Nianchu quickly pressed her lips together, obediently closed her mouth, and stopped mentioning the confession.

But You Nianchu still harbored a hint of resentment and grievance in her eyes, head lowered, appearing obedient and apologetic.

Lin Yuan saw her finally behave, and his heart relaxed a little.

Lin Yuan, however, still felt somewhat flustered, and said in a cold tone: "Alright, don't stand here any longer—hurry home."

You Nianchu lifted her head, her eyes holding a hint of pleading, and spoke softly:

"Lin Laoshi, the rain hasn't stopped yet; I'm a little scared to take a taxi alone. Could you give me a ride home?" She still hoped to move Lin Yuan as before, using a pitiful expression.

But this time, Lin Yuan was unusually resolute, showing no wavering.

Lin Yuan flatly refused: "No, I still have things to take care of when I go back. You take a taxi yourself. You're so wealthy, your family conditions are so good, taking a taxi isn't difficult for you—hurry up and get in."

He truly didn't want to get further entangled with this girl, You Nianchu……

The confession just now had already thrown his mind into disarray……

Lin Yuan feared that if he stayed longer, something might happen that he couldn't control.

So Lin Yuan could only harden his heart and reject her plea.

You Nianchu saw Lin Yuan's firm demeanor and knew he wouldn't easily relent……

You Nianchu felt deep disappointment, yet could only nod obediently, not pressing further.

Just then, a taxi slowly drove past the residential complex's gate, its headlights cutting through the night.

Lin Yuan saw the taxi coming, casually waved it down, and hailed it.

The taxi slowly stopped in front of the two of them.

The driver pressed the horn, indicating they could get in.

Lin Yuan, seeing this, quickly waved at You Nianchu: "Get in quickly, hurry home, and stay safe."

Lin Yuan's tone carried a hint of urging; he just wanted her to leave as soon as possible.

You Nianchu, helpless, could only pull open the car door.

You Nianchu turned back and gave Lin Yuan a deep look, her eyes full of reluctance and unwillingness.

She muttered under her breath: "Lin Laoshi, you're really ruthless."

Having said that, she bent over, got into the taxi, and closed the door.

Lin Yuan watched the taxi slowly start up, until its silhouette vanished into the night, then he let out a long sigh……

Lin Yuan raised his hand to rub his throbbing temples, his heart full of helplessness and complexity.

He knew You Nianchu's confession was only the beginning……

This little girl would never give up so easily.

The days ahead would be terribly troublesome.

……

Meanwhile, inside the taxi.

You Nianchu leaned against the seat, the disappointment on her face gradually fading,

a hint of slyness rose again in her eyes as she schemed how to confess to Lin Yuan next time.

But not long after, she sensed something was off……

The driver in the driver's seat…… wore a thick mask, only revealing a pair of eyes.

And the driver's eyes, however, constantly stared at her through the car's rearview mirror……

The driver's gaze was strange, carrying a somewhat indescribable scrutiny and greed,.

This gaze made You Nianchu inexplicably feel a chill rise from her heart.

You Nianchu instinctively shrank her body, leaning herself deeper into the seat……

She watched the driver in the rearview mirror warily, a hint of unease rising in her heart……

This driver, why does he keep staring at her? What exactly does he want to do?

You Nianchu suppressed the chill in her heart, her fingertips quietly clenching her phone.

Her fingertips were icy cold, even her breathing became somewhat hurried.

She stared fixedly at the rearview mirror inside the car, watching the driver's pair of eyes that constantly clung to her with a strange gaze,

You Nianchu's heart pounded nonstop, an ominous premonition instantly sweeping over her whole body.

She instinctively gave her home address, her tone carrying a hint of deliberate calm:

"Driver, please take me to Jin Xiu Hua Ting Xiao Qu, thank you."

But the driver seemed not to have heard, continuing to drive at a steady speed,.

The driver's gaze…… continued to stare at her through the rearview mirror.

The driver's mouth corner…… even faintly curled into a strange arc.

You Nianchu's heart sank little by little.

She knew, something was wrong!

This driver, absolutely something is wrong!

She quietly opened her phone navigation, her fingertips trembling slightly from nervousness.

When the navigation interface loaded, You Nianchu's body stiffened, a chill surging from her feet straight to the top of her head,.

On the phone navigation, the route on the screen clearly extended in the opposite direction of her home……

The navigation route deviated further and further……

This,, simply isn't the familiar way home she knows!

"This isn't the way home!" You Nianchu could no longer stay calm, her voice suddenly rising, she said coldly, "Stop the car! Stop right now! I want to get out!"

You Nianchu shouted while reaching out to pull the car door handle.

But the car door seemed locked shut, no matter how hard she tried, it didn't budge at all.

Hearing her rebuke, the driver finally slowly turned his head, revealing only a pair of eyes filled with greed and strangeness.

The driver's mouth corner…… curled into a ferocious evil smile.

The driver's voice was hoarse and ambiguous, carrying a somewhat nauseating allure:

"Little girl, why the rush? Uncle will take you to a nice place, guaranteed to be more interesting than your home."

As his words fell, before You Nianchu could react, the driver stomped on the accelerator!

The taxi instantly accelerated, like an arrow released from a bow, shooting toward the suburbs……

The night outside the window grew darker and denser.

Streetlights gradually became sparse, surrounding buildings fewer and fewer, leaving only dark farmland and desolate highway, with only the roar of the car engine and the wail of the night wind in her ears.

This scene was eerie and terrifying.

You Nianchu sat in the car, completely panicked,.

The fear in her heart…… instantly overwhelmed her.

She desperately shoved the car door, both hands pounding on the window, her voice hysterical as she shouted: "Stop the car! I want to get out! Let me go!"

But her struggle against the locked door and the accelerating car appeared especially insignificant, having no effect at all.

The driver seemed angered by her struggle, yet also found it especially amusing, suddenly stomping on the brake!

"Squeak——!!"

A piercing brake scream tore through the night sky!

You Nianchu, caught off guard, lunged forward, her forehead slamming hard into the front seat back!

It made a "thud" dull sound.,

You Nianchu's vision instantly went dark, her head felt heavy, her whole body's strength seemed drained, even the strength to struggle was gone.

The driver slowly turned off the engine, the car interior instantly fell into dead silence……

Only You Nianchu's weak panting and her own rapid heartbeat remained.

The driver slowly turned his body, his face still wearing that ferocious evil smile.

The greed in the driver's eyes grew even stronger.

He was like a beast eyeing its prey, slowly crawling from the driver's seat over, lunging toward You Nianchu in the back seat.

You Nianchu felt weak all over, dizzy, and could only watch helplessly as the driver approached……

You Nianchu's fear reached its peak, she couldn't even utter a cry.

You Nianchu could only instinctively shrink backward, but she had already retreated to the corner of the seat, with nowhere to escape.

As the driver drew nearer, the faint tobacco smell on him mixed with a strange odor, making one feel nauseous……

As he crawled over, he lowered his voice and said with that hair-raising evil smile: "Little girl, don't be afraid, you're so beautiful, your skin so tender, licking you would surely taste delicious, your body must be sweet, come, let uncle lick you well……"

His hand had already reached You Nianchu's shoulder, its icy, rough feel making her shudder all over.

You Nianchu instantly came to her senses, her will to survive overriding fear.,

She summoned all her strength, raised her hand, and slammed it onto the driver's face: "Get lost! You pervert! Save me!"

The sharp slap rang out in the cramped car compartment, and the driver was struck so hard his head jerked to the side.

The wicked smile on the driver's face froze instantly, and a surging hostility rose in his eyes.

You Nianchu seized this fleeting opportunity, not daring to hesitate in the slightest, and exerted force with her legs!

She used all her remaining strength and kicked hard at the driver's crotch!

"Ah——!"

A shrill wail burst from the driver's mouth instantly, his whole body curling up as he clutched his crotch tightly with both hands!

The driver's face turned deathly pale in an instant, cold sweat beading his forehead, and even his breathing became ragged.

You Nianchu didn't pause for a moment, taking advantage of the driver's excruciating pain and inability to move, she pulled hard on the door handle again with both hands!

This time, perhaps the driver, in his extreme pain, accidentally loosened the lock……

The car door was pulled open with a "click".

You Nianchu, ignoring her sore body and dizziness, scrambled out of the taxi……

You Nianchu staggered forward, her mind filled with a single thought—

Run fast, escape from this pervert's clutches.

But she had only taken a few steps when a furious roar came from behind: the driver, grinding his teeth, shouted, "You little brat, you dare kick me! I'll see where you run!"

You Nianchu's heart tightened, and she instinctively looked back……

She saw the driver already struggling to climb up from the driver's seat, his face full of ferocity and ruthlessness, killing intent almost spilling from his eyes.

Before You Nianchu could react, the driver suddenly…… whipped out a black handgun from his waist!

The driver's gun barrel pointed straight at her back, his tone icy and bone-chilling: "Stop! Take another step and I'll shoot you!"

You Nianchu's body stiffened instantly, as if all her blood had frozen.

At this moment, You Nianchu even paused her breath.

You Nianchu slowly turned around, staring at the driver's black gun muzzle, and the fear in her heart rose to its peak again.

How could this driver have a gun??

You Nianchu was shocked, her heart filled with doubt?

But she still forced herself to stay calm, her eyes fixed firmly on the driver.

You Nianchu's voice trembled slightly, yet she refused to yield: "Don't come closer! My family is wealthy—I'll give you any amount of money, please let me go!"

Hearing this, the driver curled his lip into a cruel, cold smile, his eyes full of contempt and greed: "Money? What I want is not just money."

You Nianchu seized the chance, intending to turn and keep running……

The driver pulled the trigger without hesitation!

"Bang——!"

A muffled gunshot shattered the suburban silence, the bullet whistling with fierce force and striking You Nianchu's calf precisely.

"Ah——" A wave of intense pain instantly engulfed You Nianchu's whole body……

You Nianchu shuddered all over from the pain, her legs went weak, and she collapsed heavily onto the cold ground.

Blood instantly gushed from her wound, staining her white dress red, dripping down her calf and leaving a glaring trail of blood on the ground.

Her calf had been shot.

The intense pain made her break out in cold sweat, and her vision kept fading to black.

You Nianchu, however, kept gritting her teeth and did not cry out.

She stared fixedly at the driver as he stepped closer.

You Nianchu quietly picked up her phone and sent a message to Lin Yuan: only two characters: 【Save me!】

The driver slowly put away his gun, his ferocious smile still on his face, and walked toward You Nianchu step by step……

Each of the driver's steps…… felt like he was trampling on her heart, letting her despair spread bit by bit.

The driver stopped in front of You Nianchu, looking down at her, his eyes full of mockery and cruelty, his tone icy: "Little girl, run—why aren't you running?"

You Nianchu looked at his ferocious appearance, and her will to survive flared up again……

She endured the excruciating pain in her calf, slowly lifted her hand, and quietly pulled out a small dagger from the pocket of her dress……

This was her usual self-defense tool, always carried on her person, but now it had become her sole lifeline.

You Nianchu gripped the dagger tightly, and taking advantage of the driver's inattention, she thrust it hard toward his abdomen!

But she was seriously injured, weak all over, and her movement was half a beat slow.

The driver was quick-eyed and quick-handed; before the dagger could touch him, he seized You Nianchu's wrist with a force almost enough to crush it.

You Nianchu struggled desperately, trying to break free from his hold……

But no matter how hard she tried, it was to no avail.

Instead, the driver jerked her hard, and the dagger clanged to the ground.

The driver snatched the dagger from her hand, tossed it aside, then gripped her wrist tightly and pressed her down hard onto the ground.

The smile on the driver's face grew more ferocious, his tone tinged with mockery and triumph.

The driver leaned close to her ear and, with a voice that made one's skin crawl, coldly laughed: "You family little girl, you didn't expect that? You'll fall into my hands!"
