Provoke Him - Chapter 3

Chapter 3

His question left me stunned too.

How was he supposed to help?

The bullet comments:

[You’re killing me here. Hurry up already! I paid for a membership! Just kiss her first, then do this (garbled text), then that (garbled text)…]

[Mei Bao doesn’t know how, but don’t tell me you don’t, High Mountain Flower. Stop pretending to be innocent, I’m begging you! Those drawings of Mei Bao’s-I’ve seen how skilled you are at drawing them. Don’t you secretly practice every night with Mei Bao’s dresses? You’ve kneaded them all to pieces!]

[This is probably the first time Mei Bao has come to him, so he’s so happy he’s short-circuiting. He’s afraid his dark true self will scare Mei Bao away. Where’s my head-pushing squad? Glue their mouths together with 502 glue first!]

“Susu, can you see who I am?”

I could.

He was Rong Yuchen.

He was the one I had come here for from the very beginning!

“Susu, once you provoke me, there’s no chance to regret it.”

I couldn’t help biting my lip.

“Ah Xiong, can you help me quickly?”

“I won’t regret it…”

Tears fell from my eyes.

Rong Yuchen’s cool, clear gaze darkened, like a man-eating beast lying in wait.

The thin callus on the pad of his finger brushed the corner of my eye.

His tear-stained finger pressed against my lips, smearing the blood there.

He lowered his head.

His lips descended.

The cold scent of jade sandalwood on him flooded and occupied all my senses.

In my mind, brilliant fireworks burst one after another.

[As expected of the High Mountain Flower. He really knows what he’s doing. A kiss of blood and tears!]

[What could Big Brother possibly have done wrong? He just loves his little sister too much! Rather than let the male lead Madman abduct and bully Mei Bao, he might as well strike first and turn Mei Bao into his wife.]

[Kiss her until she faints, so she’ll never be able to think of anyone else again!!!]

My legs went weak. I clutched Rong Yuchen’s lapels, leaving wrinkle after wrinkle in the fabric.

“Ah Xiong, can we go to the couch?”

Standing like this felt unbearable.

My lips were burning hot and numb.

My heartbeat slammed against my eardrums, beat after beat, until it hurt.

By the time I finished gasping out those words, Rong Yuchen suddenly let go, his pupils contracting sharply.

[Damn it, he got too into it! He almost showed his true self. That look just now-the possessiveness and loss of control-the tension was off the charts!]

[Mei Bao, being this direct is basically asking for his life!]

[Let us all fling our underwear into the sky!! Bye-bye now.]

[Sister upstairs, this is not a deserted zone!]

“Ah… Ah Xiong?” I lay limply in his arms and lifted my dazed eyes.

A trace of cool reason returned to his gaze. He leaned close to my earlobe, his voice slightly hoarse.

“Susu, do you like Ah Xiong?”

“I do…” I was unbearably thirsty.

“What you say right now doesn’t count, little liar. You only want me to cure the poison.” His voice lowered.

I looked up and saw that his lips, kissed until they glistened with a layer of moisture, and wanted to kiss him again.

But he turned his head and dodged me.

My lips landed on his Adam’s apple.

His Adam’s apple bobbed heavily.

“Susu likes Ah Xiong!”

“Susu knows very well what she’s doing…”

My voice trembled so badly it barely held a tune.

My burning cheek pressed against his cool palm and rubbed against it lightly.

But it still wasn’t enough to extinguish the wicked fire that wanted to melt my bones.

The bullet comments went wild:

[I already flung my pants away, and this is all you’re letting me watch?]

[Mei Bao is suffering so much, and I bet your addiction is about to flare up too. The two of you are each other’s antidotes. Isn’t that perfect?]

[Sisters, calm down. We can’t push too hard! Someone poisoned Mei Bao, so they must be trying to frame her. If they consummate tonight, won’t that play right into the mastermind’s hands? Maybe the moment Mei Bao lies down on the bed, someone will come in right after to catch them in the act! Then we won’t be able to ship them anymore.]

[Our Mei Bao is just a poor little thing trying to survive between crazed men and crazed women. In the end, she’s only cannon-fodder, a tool character.]

[In ancient times, having relations without a matchmaker would be bad for Mei Bao’s reputation. At a time like this, being able to hit the brakes-I kind of admire the High Mountain Flower. Either his self-control is too impressive, or he’s really not up to it.]

I gulped in air and looked at the bullet comments. Gradually, I calmed down a little. I closed my eyes, refusing to look at Rong Yuchen’s face as I fought against the drug’s effects.

“Susu, be good. Open your mouth.”

Because I felt so awful, my teeth were clenched tight.

The person before me wasn’t anxious in the least.

As he gently bit the tip of my ear, his cool fingertips pried open the gap between my lips and teeth and pushed a bitter pill inside.
