When returning to her room from the front courtyard, just as Muruo was about to close the door, a hand suddenly blocked the doorframe.

The door that was halfway closed came to an abrupt halt!

Tang Si directly reached her hand inside, then pushed the door open with half her body, her face wearing an ingratiating smile as it entered Muruo’s field of vision.

Yet this smile was quite unsettling!

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing, I just want to talk with you.”

As she spoke, she directly twisted her body and squeezed inside, and even plopped down in a seat. Without treating herself as an outsider at all, she picked up the teapot, poured herself a cup, and started drinking.

“Are you misunderstanding something, woman?” Muruo asked.

“I’m not misunderstanding anything. I just came in to talk with you.”

“I don’t want to talk with you. Get out.”

“Why are you so petty?”

She heavily set down the cup in her hand on the table, turned around to look at Muruo, and saw him still standing at the door, looking at her with complete disdain on his face.

So she sprang up and demanded, “I haven’t even settled accounts with you yet, so why are you putting on that sour face for me? You even took advantage of me just now.”

What the hell!

Can we open our eyes wide and see the facts clearly?

“Miss Tang, are you sick or something? If you really are sick, I don’t mind treating you. Just now, I kindly helped you out of goodwill. If it weren’t for me, you would have already fallen to the ground. Instead of thanking me, you turn around and accuse me of holding you? Please go look in a mirror. I, Muruo, may covet wine, but I would never covet you. Also, as a young lady, is it appropriate for you to barge into a man’s room like this?”

A complete lecture!

“I…”

Tang Si was left speechless!

“Also, I’m very tired right now and want to sleep. Please leave.” Muruo pushed the door open wider.

But her eyes widened, “You really know how to turn black into white! Just because I kicked you once in the carriage, you’ve been attacking and retaliating against me ever since.”

Muruo was at a loss for tears. He raised his hand and pressed the back of his hand against Tang Si’s forehead to check her temperature. “Are you sick? I’m attacking you? Retaliating against you? Last night when you were punished to clean the school, I helped you. Just now I also caught you. Who exactly is the one stubbornly attacking and retaliating?”

Sister, it’s you!

Smack!

Tang Si forcefully knocked his hand away from her forehead!

“You’re still being unreasonable, turning it around on me. I think you’re the one who’s sick.”

Muruo really didn’t want to continue entangling with her anymore. “Fine, hurry up and leave. I need some peace and quiet right now. I don’t have time to bicker with you.”

“I’m leaving then.”

She dominantly turned around, steam coming from her nostrils. But she walked with her head held high, not paying attention to her feet at all, and somehow tripped over something.

Crash!

Her entire body lunged straight forward.

With a thud, she fell flat on the ground, taking a complete tumble.

Pfft!

Muruo laughed without concealment.

Then, he leisurely sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, “Serves you right, not watching where you’re going.”

Tang Si, lying on the ground, turned pale in the face, with dust flying onto her face. She quickly scrambled up from the ground, and the moment she turned around, she drew the silver whip from her waist again and fiercely lashed it toward Muruo.

But in mid-air, it was caught by Muruo.

He gripped the whip, then twirled it twice, his lips curling in a wicked smile. “Miss Tang, when will you change your habit of hitting people? I can’t guarantee that one day, when I’m in a bad mood, I won’t burn this whip of yours.”

“You dare.”

She struggled to pull the whip back, but her strength was no match!

Instead, Muruo, imitating Shi Ziran from earlier, exerted force with his wrist, intending to pull Tang Si forward a bit.

Little did he know, he didn’t control this force well and used a bit too much strength.

So much so that—

Tang Si’s entire body lunged toward him without warning.

Muruo was even more caught off guard. His hands reached forward to block, but blocking would have been fine if he hadn’t, because this block directly caused a problem.

His two hands landed squarely on Tang Si’s chest… on those two mounds of flesh.

Completely cupping them!

The two were pressed very close together, each other’s breath hitting the other’s face, from initially holding their breath to eventually becoming rapid, and from rapid to heavy.

The surrounding atmosphere also gradually transformed from initial awkwardness to final sharp tension!

“Ah!”

Tang Si opened her mouth and screamed, raised her hand, and swung down heavily.

With a slap, it landed directly on Muruo’s stiff face.

In that moment, he was completely dazed!

Tang Si clutched her chest and bounced away, looking in shock at the “beast” before her.

And though he was also somewhat surprised, this slap seemed to suddenly wake him up.

The next moment, he actually smiled, his gaze fixed on Tang Si’s covered chest, his brow furrowing.

Over these years, he had traveled far and wide, a carefree wanderer. What kind of women hadn’t he seen? Whether plump or slender, icy beauties, or even fat and ugly ones with monkey-like faces—how many hundreds had he encountered?

The one before him was merely the most ordinary among the women he had seen!

In fact, she was the smallest one.

So—

He uttered a sentence: “They’re just two lumps of flesh. What are you so nervous about?”

Two lumps of flesh!

Just… two lumps of flesh?

These words, neither painful nor itchy!

Yet they made Tang Si’s face flush completely red, whether from anger or from shyness, who could tell?

Words seemed stuck in her throat, and she pointed at him fiercely, “You… you’re just a scoundrel, a beast. I… I must kill you today.”

As soon as the words fell, the whip in her hand rose again. But this time, before she could swing it out, her wrist was seized by Muruo again, and he pulled her directly into his embrace.

Tang Si’s entire body trembled!

Today, not only was this the first time a man had touched her chest, it was also the first time a man had held her like this.

She didn’t know what medicine she had taken, but that mass of fury in her heart actually dissipated completely at this moment. Instead, her heart pounded wildly, nervous beyond measure.

Meeting Muruo’s gaze, her face instantly flushed red.

Muruo’s lips curved upward. “Miss Tang, what just happened was an accident. I’ve apologized to you, but now, if you use your whip to hit people randomly again, I’ll make you regret it right now.”

The palm around Tang Si’s waist exerted force!

Tang Si’s body involuntarily thrust forward again.

“You… let go of me.”

She stuttered!

“I can let you go, but you’d better behave yourself. Otherwise, I’ll settle accounts with you, principal and interest together.”

Settle your sister!

Before Tang Si could speak, he released the woman in his arms, then coldly pushed her out the door, and immediately slammed the door shut heavily, leaving no face whatsoever.

Muruo didn’t feel awkward at all. He touched his own face—that little girl had quite a strong hand.

He moved his chin and laughed again.

The feeling of teaching someone a lesson—not bad!

Revenge for the knee injury, achieved.

At the door, Tang Si stood as if she had received a cold shoulder!

She stood there for quite a while—

Then she shook her head and took a deep breath. Surprisingly, she didn’t feel angry anymore, but rather felt somewhat… pleased?

No, no, no, how could it be pleasure?

She felt she must have gone mad. That beast had clearly taken advantage of her and should be cut into a thousand pieces, then have his corpse whipped.

Thinking of this, she raised her foot and kicked the door heavily.

Raising her voice, she cursed loudly, “Muruo, sooner or later, I will kill you with my own hands.”

Then she left!
