Chapter 100: Pressure Is Back on Ai Lian

Even though Ai Lian kept her head down, the flush on her cheeks couldn’t be hidden; luckily, none of them jumped out to tease her then, or she truly would’ve run away.

The main reason for her extreme shyness was simply the presence of her three close friends; Ye Qingfeng accounted for only a small part.

“By the way! Qingfeng-ge, didn’t you say you’d give your contact info after completing it?” Ruby suddenly remembered, “Didn’t Ai Lian just slip away from you?”

“Ai Lian ran off too fast, and the class bell rang right then—I didn’t realize until it was too late to find her,” Ye Qingfeng explained seriously, then smirked proudly, “but I still gave Ai Lian my contact info.”

“Eh?! Ai Lian!” Ruby put on a heartbroken expression and accused her, “You told me you didn’t even know about this! You lied to your wonderful friends just to monopolize Qingfeng-ge!”

Ai Lian: I didn’t! I didn’t!

Ai Lian clearly didn’t realize Ruby was faking; she instantly widened her eyes in disbelief, then shyly turned to Ye Qingfeng for confirmation, “Um... Qingfeng-ge, when did you give it to me?”

Seeing Ai Lian’s shy expression, Ye Qingfeng’s heart leapt violently—how to put it...

The more actively Ai Lian behaved under the effect of the Animal Charm Body, the more shy she became afterward.

Hmm! Conservation of energy makes perfect sense!

But this kind of Ai Lian looks so delicious!

Her neat short hair retained a cute charm, her pale face flushed with a tempting blush, and the tear mole beneath her eye was the perfect finishing touch—Ye Qingfeng couldn’t resist planting a loud kiss on her cheek.

The pure white shirt barely contained her ample curves, clearly showing Ai Lian had absorbed nutrients thoroughly.

“Check your pockets and see what’s there.”

Ye Qingfeng politely looked away, pointing with one finger toward Ai Lian’s short skirt.

Ai Lian reached into her pockets and rummaged around, surprised to find an unfamiliar object; she quickly pulled it out and stared—“A playing card?”

“When did you put it in?”

Ai Lian stared blankly at the card in her hand—her skirt clung tightly to her thighs! If someone had reached into her pocket, she definitely would’ve noticed.

Was it then?

The only moment she could think of was when she dashed off the stage—but she’d been so nervous she might not have noticed...

So... Qingfeng-ge touched...

My thigh?

(When they reach that stage, Ai Lian will change how she addresses him.)

“Mmm...” Ai Lian instantly widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at Ye Qingfeng, “You... you...”

She ultimately didn’t say it aloud, mainly because she feared her three friends would cause trouble.

She could only swallow the humiliation—but then she remembered how she’d eagerly pressed herself against Qingfeng-ge and shamelessly sucked in deep breaths...

He definitely saw it! Then... then it’s even!

Ai Lian held the card up to her eyes—clearly written on it was Ye Qingfeng’s name and his Qiaokao ID.

After confirming it, she swiftly stuffed the card into her pocket, bowed her head, and ate her meal as if nothing had happened.

She secretly rejoiced—hmm! Even though Ruby got there first just now, Qingfeng-ge’s contact info was mine first!

“Ai Lian! That’s so sneaky!”

Ruby had been glaring at Ai Lian, expecting her to pull out Qingfeng’s contact info and share it—but instead, she’d secretly tucked it away!!

But! She wouldn’t give up so easily!

“Qingfeng-ge! Add me on Qiaokao!”

Ruby suddenly pulled out her phone, revealing a QR code, even going so far as to pout with wide, cute eyes—as if trying to charm Ye Qingfeng to death.

So adorable!

“No problem!”

Ye Qingfeng agreed without hesitation, pulled out his phone, and added Ruby’s Qiaokao.

As the saying goes, the child who whines gets the candy—and cheerful, open Ruby was far ahead of Ai Lian in this regard.

But there was nothing to be done; Ai Lian was naturally indifferent to most things, preferring passive acceptance over active pursuit.

Though she’d say the opposite aloud, inside she was thrilled.

“Me too!”

Meng Na immediately pulled out her phone.

“Me as well!”

Lin followed right after.

Pressure was once again placed on Ai Lian.

What could she do?

Under their teasing gazes, she silently pulled out her phone, blushing furiously as she added Ye Qingfeng’s Qiaokao.

But at least she still had Qingfeng-ge’s playing card! They didn’t!

Thinking of this, Ai Lian instantly straightened her back.

Soon after, the group chatted cheerfully; listening to their talk, Ai Lian temporarily forgot the incident in the classroom—though she didn’t speak up much, her relationship with Ye Qingfeng was no longer so stiff.

Each time she called him “Qingfeng-ge,” she couldn’t help but blush slightly.

Her affection level had risen, now reaching 45%.

The meal lasted a long time, and the conversation stretched on—but Ye Qingfeng knew they had afternoon classes, and Zhu Yuan was likely waking up soon; he needed to go check on his little girlfriend.

By the way, although Ye Qingfeng hadn’t brought up having a girlfriend during the chat, when they asked, he answered honestly; apart from Ai Lian, all of them expressed curiosity about who his girlfriend was.

Ye Qingfeng didn’t mention Zhu Yuan’s name, but he could clearly sense Ai Lian’s mood had dipped—if he hadn’t activated the Animal Charm Body back then.

Ai Lian would’ve been just like the others—curious but ultimately unconcerned—but she could no longer forget that feeling.

Though she recalled the law she’d issued not long ago, Ai Lian was still deeply conflicted.

“You probably still have class this afternoon—head back early. If you want bubble tea later, message me,” Ye Qingfeng said as the cafeteria emptied; he stood and bid them farewell, “I’ll likely have left school by then, but I can wait for you at the bubble tea shop.”

“Okay! Qingfeng-ge, see you! I’ll message you after school!”

Ruby waved her arm high and cheerfully bid Ye Qingfeng goodbye.

“See you this afternoon, Qingfeng-ge!”

Hearing this, Meng Na also waved at Ye Qingfeng.

“Goodbye, Qingfeng-ge!”

Lin raised her hand in front of her and waved gently, whispering.

Pressure was placed on Ai Lian again...

“Goodbye, Qingfeng-ge...”

Gathering her courage, Ai Lian gave a small wave to Ye Qingfeng.

“Then! See you this afternoon!”

Watching the four adorable girls wave goodbye, Ye Qingfeng felt an indescribable joy; he smiled warmly and waved back to each of them.

Only then did he turn and leave.

“Ai~ Lian!” Ruby grabbed Ai Lian as soon as Ye Qingfeng was far away, teasing with a grin, “I never knew you liked this type!”
