Don't Kiss Him, Whatever You Do!

Another day of begging for votes. Those who vote this year were bound to find a partner; those who already had one were bound to last forever, hehe...

Lin Changtian had only arrived at Heavenly Water Academy now, so he had no idea what had happened there early that morning. Naturally, he also did not know that Bai Hanxue had announced that she and Ye Tianyi were in a relationship.

As for why Bai Hanxue had said that, Ye Tianyi was confused too. He had come over to ask her about it as well.

Lin Changtian had been planning to continue pursuing Bai Hanxue. After all, she was the woman he admired. Early that morning, he had even specially bought her milk tea. Though she had rejected him every time before, he felt there was still hope. Yet when he reached the doorway, what did he suddenly hear?

A child?

Whose child?

Ye Tianyi and Bai Hanxue's child?

"Ye Tianyi, is this a place someone like you can come?"

Lin Changtian pointed at Ye Tianyi and snapped.

Ye Tianyi turned his head and glanced at him.

"Has Heavenly Water Academy ever stated that Beginner Class students aren't allowed to come to the Advanced Class?"

"No!"

"Then what the hell are you yapping about? I came to see my wife. What's it got to do with you?"

Ye Tianyi said.

Bai Hanxue stood up and walked away.

"Hey, wife, wait for me."

Ye Tianyi hurried after her from behind.

Lin Changtian clenched his fists tightly.

What exactly had happened? Why was Ye Tianyi calling Bai Hanxue that, yet she had not even flown into a rage?

Outside, Ye Tianyi caught up with Bai Hanxue.

"Wife, say something."

With a smile, Ye Tianyi hooked his little finger around Bai Hanxue's. Bai Hanxue quickly stuffed her hand into her coat pocket.

"Ye Tianyi!"

Bai Hanxue stopped, her icy gaze fixed on Ye Tianyi.

Ye Tianyi could see Bai Hanxue's favorability toward him: -60. It was even lower than before. Therefore, there had to be another reason why she had publicly claimed that they were a couple.

"Hmm?"

Ye Tianyi looked at her with a smile.

"Since you want to play, I'll play with you. I hope you can afford to play!"

Bai Hanxue said coldly.

Ye Tianyi drew in a breath, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled a ring of smoke.

"You're a woman and I'm a man. You publicly admitting that we're a couple—do you think I'll be the one losing out?"

Ye Tianyi said with a smile.

Ye Tianyi roughly understood now. He had always been taking advantage of her—saying things like "love you" and making finger hearts, all in front of everyone. So Bai Hanxue had simply turned the tables and used his own scheme against him.

Bai Hanxue had countless ways to deal with Ye Tianyi, but because of Ye Xian'er, she could not make a move against him. Yet she truly could endure no more. Fine, she would not make a move. But surely someone else could teach him a lesson, right? As long as she publicly acknowledged her relationship with Ye Tianyi, not to mention her pursuers, even the Bai Family—her brother, surely—would make a move against Ye Tianyi! At the very least, teaching him a lesson would not be a problem.

She would not go around asking anyone to deal with Ye Tianyi; she felt that would be too petty. But it was you, Ye Tianyi, who first insisted on having this kind of relationship with me. I, Bai Hanxue, am merely acknowledging it as a matter of course. I won't deliberately seek anyone out to deal with you. I'm only admitting a relationship—there's nothing wrong with that, is there? As for what Ye Tianyi might suffer after that admission, Bai Hanxue would not concern herself with it!

She truly could endure no more.

Ye Tianyi could understand that too. It really was his fault, but who told him he was scum?

"Whether you lose out or not, you'll find out later!"

Bai Hanxue said coldly, then turned to leave.

"Hey."

Ye Tianyi called out to her from behind.

"You'd better understand one thing clearly. Publicly declaring that you and I are a couple means I can act intimate with you in front of everyone. And you can't get angry, either. Otherwise, wouldn't your pursuers stop believing it? Then your plan would fail, right?"

Ye Tianyi curled his lips as he watched Bai Hanxue's graceful figure ahead of him.

Bai Hanxue's delicate brows furrowed tightly.

It was not as though she had not considered that. She had thought that as long as she made the announcement, then stopped having any contact with Ye Tianyi, she would not need to worry about that demonic art he used on her anymore! Yet upon hearing Ye Tianyi's words, her heart gave an instinctive, violent thump. Without the slightest hesitation, she hurriedly quickened her pace to leave.

But could Ye Tianyi let her go? If he let her leave today, Bai Hanxue would probably rarely appear at the academy again. While the Scumbag System still existed, it might become difficult for him to see her again. After all, he knew Bai Hanxue feared that "ability" of his.

Ding... Contrary Card activated successfully. Remaining time: 39 minutes 47 seconds.

Lin Changtian did not believe it. He felt that seeing was not always believing, nor was hearing always the truth. He wanted to follow them and see what was really going on between Ye Tianyi and Bai Hanxue!

"Little Han Xue, come over and give me a kiss."

Ye Tianyi smiled as he called out to Bai Hanxue, whose back was turned as she prepared to leave.

At the same time, Lin Changtian walked to a spot not far behind him. Naturally, he heard it too.

At that moment, Bai Hanxue turned around and walked toward Ye Tianyi.

No, no, no...

That was the thought in the hearts of Bai Hanxue, Lin Changtian, and all the spectators around them.

Bai Hanxue truly did not want to go over, but...

Meanwhile, Lin Changtian prayed without end in his heart.

Don't kiss him. Whatever you do, don't kiss him!

Bai Hanxue walked up to Ye Tianyi, fury buried deep in her eyes.

"Girl, if you hadn't gone head-to-head with me, I probably wouldn't have kept provoking you. But everything is fate."

Ye Tianyi quietly said something Bai Hanxue did not understand.

That was right. If Bai Hanxue had not gone head-to-head with him, Ye Tianyi really might have stopped. He might not have done her mission after all. Deep down, he still could not get past it—this was a girl's first kiss. Did she think everyone was like Shi Jiayi, begging to be kissed?

But...

Then Ye Tianyi held her head and planted his lips directly on her red lips.

At that instant, Bai Hanxue's mind went blank.

So did Lin Changtian's!

"No!!!"

Lin Changtian howled in despair within his heart.

He had always held onto a sliver of hope, refusing to believe that they truly had that kind of relationship. But now...

Everyone around them saw it, of course! What they saw was Ye Tianyi asking Bai Hanxue for a kiss, and her actually walking over to let him kiss her. There had once been doubts, but after this scene, what doubts could remain?

All their hearts shattered.

It was as though a song drifted through their hearts...

Snowflakes fluttered, the north wind howled...

"Sect Leader Zhao, this is the Advanced Class of our Heavenly Water Academy. The Bai Hanxue you're looking for is arguably the student I've been most satisfied with these past few years. Both her conduct and character are first-rate."

Li Boren said with a smile to the elderly man beside him.

"She isn't dating anyone, is she? My sect does not accept disciples whose mortal hearts have been stirred. This must be guaranteed. If she can become a disciple of my sect, the matter of sponsoring Heavenly Water Academy will be easy to discuss."

"Rest assured, rest assured. I know Bai Hanxue very well. It's impossible for her to be dating anyone. Even if she wanted to date, there's no one she would fancy. I guarantee it—if she's dating someone, I'll cut off this Dean's head right now and put it here!"

"Dean Li, is that Bai Hanxue over there?"

Li Boren looked over.

Clatter—

The book in his hand fell to the ground...

(I've been wondering about something. The protagonist's character isn't too scummy, right? It seems kind of scummy. I'm scared I'll ruin the character setup. It's my fault too—if I hadn't posted this kind of first-kiss mission for the female lead, I wouldn't have this concern... Because this girl is very important; I need to win her over [side-eye smile])

Current vote count: 12,000/15,000. Charging toward 15,000 for the Weekly Recommendation! Seven owed updates remain. Once I finish them, we can talk about the Update Request Tower... Sob, sob, sob, I'm so miserable. Also... we're sixth on the free ranking list! Everyone, help me charge into the top five! Charge! Charge!! One more thing: some of this novel's plot is somewhat absurdist, so don't take certain things too seriously... That's just my writing style. I hope everyone likes it.
