Chapter 13: Please Don’t Lift My Skirt 13

Qin Yan moved forward, but Shi Xingluo swiftly leaned back, creating distance between their faces. Then she tilted his head, raised an eyebrow, and glanced at him sideways. “Know what? Would Senior Qin Yan be more suitable to play Zhu Yingtai?”

Qin Yan: “…”

So, worse than being recognized and exposed was being recognized but outright denied.

“Moreover!”

How could Shi Xingluo not see what Qin Yan was trying to do? Her next words came faster. “The vice president already said they plan to have everyone vote. It might not even be Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.”

A mission was a mission, but the size…

Shi Xingluo instinctively wanted to dodge.

Besides, her fundamental task was to prevent the Demon God from destroying the small world, not to sleep with him!

Who knew why that damn Destruction Value had to be triggered by sleeping together? What if there were other ways to complete the mission, just without being able to see the Destruction Value at any time?

Or perhaps… Shi Xingluo quickly poked Erya. “This ‘deep communication’ should also include me pinning him down, right?”

So, what if he’s big? If I pin you down, I don’t care how big you are, hmph!

Erya stammered, “…Theoretically, yes.”

Laughter rose in Shi Xingluo’s Sea of Consciousness. “Then it must be the same in practice! This Demon God I’m going to pin him down for sure!”

“If it was Romeo and Juliet, that would be even better.”

Qin Yan suddenly curled his lips in a meaningful smile and flipped another script on top. “I prefer this one.”

Seeing the almost undisguised triumphant pleasure in Qin Yan’s eyes, Shi Xingluo narrowed his eyes. “Erya, what about these two scripts? I feel like he was deliberately creating a diversion earlier, using the other one to shift the focus.”

Erya quickly provided the answer. “Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is a traditional Chinese classic where emotional performances are relatively restrained. Romeo and Juliet is a Western classic that not only has passionate kissing scenes but also… ahem, bed, ahem, scenes.”

Shi Xingluo: “…”

So that’s why Qin Yan seemed to be scheming something deliberately mentioning Zhu Yingtai first to let her guard down.

But from the start, the intention wasn’t to make it play Zhu Yingtai at all it was Juliet, wasn’t it?

Qin Yan glanced around. “Some parts are hard to perform. I think we should practice in advance.”

After confirming that no one was around, Qin Yan didn’t even bother pretending in the next second. His fingers gripping Shi Xingluo’s shoulders suddenly tightened, and he lowered his head to capture his lips.

Shi Xingluo’s: “…”

Shi Xingluo wasn’t willing to be completely passive. His tongue fought back without yielding, and the back-and-forth only made the kiss more intense.

Qin Yan’s heart burned. Shi Xingluo’s sharp resistance didn’t make him retreat; instead, he became even more immersed in this “tense and fierce” kiss.

The two scripts in his hand fell to the ground at some point, their pages rustling in the wind.

Faintly masking the sound of their passionate kissing deep in the campus grove.

Shi Xingluo secretly opened his eyes and saw Qin Yan’s long, narrow eyes tightly closed.

Shi Xingluo raised his eyebrows, just like last night.

In the next instant, she abruptly exerted force and pinned the completely unprepared Qin Yan down on the stone bench, pressing his leg halfway over him as he instinctively tried to rise.

“Senior Qin is so handsome,” the frivolous words had already slipped out, “if you were to play Juliet just once, you’d absolutely stun everyone.”

“And as for me,” Shi Xingluo’s fingers mischievously crept into Qin Yan’s white shirt collar, fumbling recklessly, “I’ll cherish Senior Qin both on and off stage.”

He’d figured it out that constantly avoiding the mission target wouldn’t get the task done. So why not just sleep with the mission target? That way he could enjoy the male lead’s beauty while completing his mission.

“You?”

Qin Yan was first astonished, then nearly laughed in exasperation. Watching the chest pressing against him attempting to have its way, his own chest heaved violently twice from the intensity of his emotions.

Was he, the hunter, about to be pecked by the eagle?

No this eagle was puffing up its feathered wings, standing tall and proud, ready to strike him!

The prey he had his eye on truly had no small ambitions.

He raised his hand and swiftly caught Shi Xingluo’s unruly fingers, gripping them tightly in his palm. “Is Junior Shi trying to seduce me? So Junior Shi is this impatient? My mistake—the pace has been too slow, making Junior Shi unable to wait.”

He’d only kissed Shi Xingluo, never even considered reaching inside his clothes.

This wasn’t just ambition Shi Xingluo had already set his heart ablaze, practically opening a barbecue joint right there!

Qin Yan could feel the wicked fire stirred up by Shi Xingluo’s groping burning beneath him. He took several deep breaths trying to regain control but failed completely. The Blazing Fire not only refused to be suppressed, but it grew wilder.

Qin Yan’s other hand suddenly clamped around Shi Xingluo’s waist, and before Shi Xingluo could react, their positions were forcibly reversed once again.

His other hand still tightly gripping Shi Xingluo’s fingers, he forcibly pressed Shi Xingluo’s hand against his own body. “You started this fire you have to take responsibility.”

When he spoke, his voice was noticeably hoarse, his tone even somewhat unsteady.

“Holy shit, you…”

The familiar sensation made Shi Xingluo, who’d just been forced into the inferior position, blurt out the national expletive. But this time his hand was trapped too tightly, he couldn’t even jerk back like he’d done last night.

Damn, the situation was looking unfavorable.

Seems he really had been too hasty. He’d made his move before ensuring he could completely “crush” Qin Yan and ended up stirring up this large size brother’s temper.

What could he do now? Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is best no way was he going to get “pinned down” by large size brother in this little grove!

“Senior Qin, someone’s coming!”

Shi Xingluo shoved Qin Yan hard.

Qin Yan didn’t want to let go, but their environment or perhaps his long-maintained aloof persona that had become habit made him genuinely afraid of being seen.

Almost reflexively, his body straightened backward, naturally releasing Shi Xingluo.

Shi Xingluo sprang up like a carp leaping from water, and the next moment before Qin Yan could even refocus, he pulled last night’s repeat performance and bolted!

What a joke he’d killed zombies in the apocalypse, been surrounded by zombies when it came to running away, he had plenty of experience.

That was sprinting homed in zombie hordes.

“Shi Xingluo!”

Realizing he’d been tricked, Qin Yan let out a cold laugh, but only the fleeing figure remained in his vision.

The chill in Qin Yan’s eyes intensified, yet it couldn’t counter the burning desire still raging through his body.

After a long moment, the corners of his lips lifted soundlessly into an expression that seemed like a smile yet carried a tinge of neuroticism. Gone was any trace of the aloof male lead, replaced only by a chilling sensation that would make one’s spine crawl.

“You’ve run away twice now. I’ve never met anyone so disobedient. Next time I catch you, I’ll”

Shatter you completely.

Until you haven’t an ounce of strength left to slip away from under my watch again.
