Chapter 0017 – Puppy Bites (1 / 2)

However, her wrist was firmly held by a strong hand, like an iron chain that could not be broken, causing her to stomp her feet in place anxiously, and a few strands of her hair fell out due to her violent movements, covering half of her cheeks, adding a few moments of helplessness and tenderness.

Qi Zhiyu’s eyes flickered with a lazy light, the corners of his mouth sketched out an arc that seemed like a smile, and hidden in that bland smile was a command that could not be refused, “Open your mouth.”

Su Wanqing alertly glanced sideways, her gaze like a torch, but when she came into contact with his deep eyes, she couldn’t help but shrink.

She pursed her lips, which were as small as cherries, stubbornly refusing to compromise, with a determination in her eyes that could not be underestimated.

In his heart, he must be thinking of some mischief again, does he really think that he is a fool to be fooled?

Qi Zhi Iu was holding a crystal clear candied fruit between two fingers, the gesture seemed like a victor’s showing off, leisurely swaying in front of her eyes, her eyes overflowing with complacency, seemingly enjoying the subtle change in her expression.

Su Wanqing glared at him, in her eyes it clearly said “You’re playing with me”, but mixed with a few points of helplessness.

She was secretly annoyed in her heart, if she had known that there was candied fruit to relieve her suffering, why did she have to suffer this!

Instinctively, she reached out to snatch it, but all she saw was a flick of his wrist, and the candied fruit skillfully evaded her reach while repeating the words, “Open your mouth.”

Su Wanqing was naturally sensitive to bitter things, and that resistance seemed to be engraved into her bone marrow.

She was afraid of falling into his trap again, so she closed her teeth even more tightly and was as stubborn as a warrior guarding a castle, never letting up even when the wind blew and the rain beat.

“Forget it if you don’t want it.”

Qi Zhi Iu carelessly dropped this sentence and turned to toss the candied fruit into his mouth himself, and made a point of casting a smile full of provocation toward her.

“You just did it on purpose ……”

She was so angry that she kicked over, but he easily dodged it, that agile body like a cheetah, so that people couldn’t afford to be half-tempered.

With a hardened heart, she decided to take direct action and grabbed his wrist violently, ready to return the favor and have a good time.

Unexpectedly, he only pulled gently, and her body involuntarily tilted and fell into a warm and solid embrace.

His voice was low with a hint of teasing, “Trying to learn how to bite like a puppy again?”

“Who let you bully me!”

Su Wanqing tilted her face up, her eyes full of defiance, glaring straight at him, as if she wanted to turn all her dissatisfaction and aggression into this blazing glimpse.

Qi Zhi Iu raised an eyebrow, a few hints of teasing in his tone, ”If you don’t ask, how come I’m the one bullying you? Or is your nose just for decoration? Can’t you smell the medicinal odor that strong?”

These words were like a heavy hammer, leaving Su Wanqing speechless.

Indeed, the pungent odor of bitter medicine filled the air for so long that she almost lost the strength to struggle with her wrists in his grip.

She looked helplessly at the preserves on the coffee table not far away, a faintly audible sigh escaping her throat, “It’s so bitter ……”

The bitter medicinal soup seemed to imprison her taste buds, and tears swirled in her eyes, a deeply aggrieved look that caused infinite pity.

“Open your mouth.”

Qi Zhiyu’s voice was low and magnetic, penetrating her heart.

She barely opened her mouth, and the bitterness took advantage of the opportunity to wreak havoc, seeming to be even stronger than before, causing her to suck in a breath of cold air.

“Well…”

Just the moment her lips opened, a candied fruit slipped into her mouth with precision, the sweetness instantly wrapping around her entire mouth and dispelling all bitterness.

The corners of Qi Zhiyu’s mouth rose, a hint of tenderness hidden in that smile, “Sweet?”

Su Wanqing gently nodded her head, that sweetness, just right, neither overly cloying nor bland, very different from those candied fruits in the past that would only make people feel overly sweet if they tasted too much.

“Late night snacks and preserves too …… Can you let go of me now?”

She tried to draw back the hand he held, anticipation flashing in her eyes.
