Kiss Me!

Chapter 22: Give Me a Kiss!

Life as a high school senior was destined to be nothing but studying, though Su Ke had now gained two friends: Wei Lan and Wang Xiaogang.

Beyond being able to exchange a few words with these two, Su Ke's life remained unchanged; he was still silent and introverted, though he had now begun to study in earnest.

Su Ke knew that if he wanted to get into university, he needed to improve his Chinese, English, and science subjects. Relying solely on the Flower Picking System's rewards wasn't enough; only by actually receiving them would they count for real.

"Hey! Su Ke, do you know that Yellow Hair guy? The one you kicked and sent tumbling last time!" Wang Xiaogang took advantage of the break to lean over Su Ke's desk and whisper.

"Yellow Hair? Yeah, I remember him." Of course Su Ke knew who Yellow Hair was. Ever since he had taught him a lesson using Military Boxing, he hadn't seen a shadow of the guy for days, which had surprised Su Ke, who had been wary of retaliation.

"That Yellow Hair got into trouble and is locked up now!" Wang Xiaogang said with great excitement, which finally explained to Su Ke why things had been so peaceful lately.

Although Wang Xiaogang didn't associate with the hoodlums outside of school, he had a wide social circle within the school, so he was privy to a lot of information.

"But you should still stay alert. He won't be locked up for long!" Wang Xiaogang seemed to know the ins and outs of the detention center quite well.

"Right, I'll be careful." Su Ke nodded. Over the past few days, Wang Xiaogang had chatted with him whenever he had the chance, and through this back-and-forth, the two had become good friends.

"Hehe, but are you and Wei Lan dating now?" After saying this, Wang Xiaogang draped an arm over Su Ke's shoulder, squinted his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and added, "Look at you, you're dressing sharper and sharper!"

"Get lost!" As their friendship deepened, Su Ke had become much more casual in his speech. He pushed Wang Xiaogang aside, and just as Wang Xiaogang laughed and prepared to run off, he let out an "Ouch!"

Wei Lan was holding a math workbook and had nearly been knocked over by Wang Xiaogang. Seeing this, Wang Xiaogang laughed even harder. "I won't disturb you two anymore!"

"Are you okay?" Su Ke smiled at Wei Lan. Today, for his first day working at Fangfei Yiren, Su Ke had specifically changed his clothes. He wore a pure white T-shirt paired with jeans; although they weren't new, they were clean and crisp.

Su Ke had naturally fair skin and delicate features, and his long, narrow eyes were as bright as the stars. As their gazes met, Wei Lan's face immediately flushed red.

"I'm fine. It's just... there's a problem I don't know how to solve. Could you help me take a look?"

"Uh? You want me to take a look?" Su Ke was a bit surprised, but he took the book anyway. After one glance at the math problem, the solution immediately formed in his mind. To be honest, the problem wasn't difficult; logically, Wei Lan, as the study committee member, shouldn't have been stumped by it.

Could this little girl be looking for an excuse to get close to me? As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Su Ke's heart began to race and his body felt hot. No girl had ever approached him like this before! The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and his fair cheeks turned as red as a monkey's backside before he even realized it.

"Well? How should this problem be solved?" Wei Lan leaned closer to Su Ke as she spoke.

Although Su Ke had long known that Wei Lan had a faint, clean fragrance, when that scent of a young girl drifted into his nostrils, his breathing involuntarily quickened, and his legs even felt a bit weak.

"What were you two talking about just now?" Wei Lan shifted her feet and asked in a low voice that only Su Ke could hear.

"Uh!" Su Ke hadn't expected her to ask this. Caught off guard, he blurted out, "We weren't talking about anything!"

"Impossible. You were laughing so lewdly; you must have been talking bad about me!" Wei Lan had seen Wang Xiaogang run over to Su Ke, and she noticed that whenever Wang Xiaogang laughed, he would intentionally or unintentionally glance back at her. Her intuition told her their conversation involved her, otherwise, she wouldn't have come over.

Su Ke was stunned. Before he could even begin to defend himself, he felt a sharp pain in his arm and gasped. If he hadn't been so reserved, he probably would have screamed out loud.

"Hmph!" Wei Lan pulled her hand back. Taking advantage of Su Ke's distraction, she had pinched his arm hard with her thumb and forefinger, then ran off, looking quite satisfied with herself.

"Damn, what was that for?" Su Ke felt like crying. He'd been pinched hard for no reason, and he couldn't exactly chase after her to get revenge!

Just then, the bell for class rang, and at the same time, Su Ke heard a notification sound from the Flower Picking System's space. He quickly checked it.

Task: Obtain Wei Lan's first kiss; Reward: High School Science Proficiency (Intermediate).

Even after the teacher walked into the classroom and began the lecture, Su Ke couldn't recover from his shock. This task was simply too bizarre. Just because he got pinched by this little girl, he had to steal her first kiss?

This, this Flower Picking System is way too petty and vindictive!

However, the reward of High School Science Proficiency (Intermediate) was far too tempting. He already had a good chance of getting a perfect score in math, but if he obtained this reward, his chances in the college entrance exam would be even greater!

But the difficulty of this task is just too high! Su Ke grumbled inwardly. After all, getting a first kiss wasn't as simple as touching Li Feifei's butt. Touching her butt could be dismissed as an accident, but this was kissing! Despite being this old, Su Ke didn't even know what it felt like to kiss a girl!

Regardless, Su Ke was determined to get the reward. However, he would need to think carefully about how to actually complete the task. After composing himself, he realized he hadn't heard a single word the teacher had said.

By the time school let out in the afternoon, Su Ke was walking with Wei Lan.

Seeing the coin-sized bruise on Su Ke's arm, Wei Lan felt a bit regretful, not knowing how it happened. She asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"

Su Ke wore an incredibly innocent expression and grimaced. "It really hurts!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to use that much force!" Wei Lan was riding her bike alongside Su Ke. Under the glow of the setting sun, her chubby, doll-like face flushed with two spots of red. She murmured, "Then what should we do? It's already done!"

"How about you treat me to a meal?" Thinking he had found a solution, Wei Lan turned to look at Su Ke.

"No need for a meal."

"Then what do you want?"

"How about you give me a kiss instead?"

The two exchanged these words, and as Su Ke looked at Wei Lan, the image of that tempting task kept appearing in his mind. He had spoken without thinking at all.

"What?" Wei Lan's eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you just say?"
