With a layer of sweet, fragrant stickiness on his face, Qing Qianxue was successfully stunned once again.
"Ningning, you..."
He felt that what he had said might have been mistaken.
Whether this girl was speaking or acting, he could never get a handle on her.
She specialized in catching him off guard.
"Hahaha... after all these years, I finally know how much fun it is to smear cream all over someone else's face!"
Chu Youning instantly retreated several steps, putting plenty of distance between herself and Qing Qianxue, her smile positively radiant.
Seeing how happily she laughed, Qing Qianxue helplessly looked away and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face.
Seeing him wipe so earnestly, without the slightest intention of attacking her, Chu Youning imitated Tom Cat, creeping along timidly, step by step, out of Qing Qianxue's line of sight and toward his back.
The moment she swiftly grabbed another handful of cream and tried to slap it onto Qing Qianxue's face again, he moved just as quickly, catching that restless little paw.
"You really aren't well-behaved at all."
Qing Qianxue raised his eyes to Chu Youning.
At that, Chu Youning immediately readied her left hand for action, but Qing Qianxue seemed to sense it and moved again.
With one hand, he caught both of Chu Youning's slender wrists and held her hands above her head, restraining her. Then, leisurely freeing his left hand, he scooped up some cream with his index finger and began drawing on her face.
Three strokes on the left cheek, three on the right, a dot on the tip of her nose, and the character for "king" on her forehead.
"Qing Qianxue, you're fighting dirty! Let go of me!"
Chu Youning couldn't help struggling.
Qing Qianxue studied the ferocious gleam on Chu Youning's face
