Chapter 150 Part 2 – If Third Master Feng Found Out (II)
Just like usual, Jiang Li headed for the passenger seat. As she was about to buckle her seatbelt, Tong Yi suddenly leaned over, getting very close to her.
His warm breath brushed past her ear, and Jiang Li could feel the heat rushing to her face.
What was Tong Yi trying to do?
Could it be that just because she hadn’t rejected holding hands earlier, he now thought he could take things further? Was he planning to kiss her?
Seeing her eyes flicker and her eyelashes trembling slightly, Tong Yi knew she was debating whether to push him away. He swiftly buckled her seatbelt for her and softly said, “Buckle up. Safety first. If we get caught on camera, we’ll get fined.”
Jiang Li: “…”
This guy and all his smooth little tricks! Where did he learn them from?!
Had he been reading the same ridiculous dating guides Wen Wan talked about?
Still, she couldn’t say she disliked his antics.
Jiang Li even caught herself wondering; once they got to the pool, Tong Yi would probably try something cheeky again. Should she teach him a lesson then? If she didn’t, he’d probably get bolder and bolder.
Hmm… best to wait until they were actually at the pool. She’d decide based on how things played out.
After arriving at the swimming pool, Jiang Li headed to the locker room to change into her swimsuit. It wasn’t until she stepped into the pool area that she realized she and Tong Yi were the only ones there.
Tong Yi was already in the water. Even the shallow end was too shallow for him. Since he wasn’t wearing a shirt, Jiang Li could clearly see water droplets sliding down his body.
Even though a light mist lingered in the air over the water, her eyes went straight to his abs… still as good-looking as ever.
Seeing her staring, Tong Yi smiled and asked, “Like what you see?”
Jiang Li shook her head, pretending to stay composed. “Nowhere close. But since you’re my pursuer, I’ll give you some pity points. It’s… barely passable, I guess.”
Tong Yi didn’t bother arguing with her obvious contradiction. He slowly walked over and extended a hand. “Come on in. I’ll teach you how to swim.”
Jiang Li slapped his hand away. “I can get in myself. No need to hold me.”
With that, she walked over to the ladder and carefully stepped down into the pool.
Even though she had soaked in hot springs before, standing in a pool still made her feel uneasy. Every step was unsteady, and it wasn’t a pleasant feeling. She had to work hard just to stay balanced.
Jiang Li thought Tong Yi would use the moment to get flirty, but he stood still, not moving an inch. She turned to look at him—only to find him staring straight at her.
Jiang Li: “..”
Even though she was wearing a sporty swimsuit, it was still a swimsuit—and once wet, it clung tightly to the body. She glanced down and realized that her curves were practically outlined.
Tong Yi’s gaze was far too direct. Feeling awkward, Jiang Li scooped up some water and splashed it at him. “What are you staring at?”
Because they were a little far apart, Jiang Li used too much force while splashing and instantly lost her balance. She stumbled forward, about to fall.
Tong Yi swam over in a flash and caught her by the waist. “You’re obviously a landlubber and still want to start a splash fight? What, do you think pool water tastes good?”
Jiang Li glared at him. “Are you here to teach me how to swim or just be a creep?”
Tong Yi paused for a few seconds before replying in a low voice, “I was planning to seriously teach you. But now… I kind of regret it.”
“Huh?” Jiang Li frowned slightly, not getting what he meant.
Tong Yi kept one arm around her waist and used his other hand to gently smooth her frown. “Jiang Xiao Li, I don’t think my self-control is as good as I thought. I’m worried I might scare you.”
Jiang Li looked up and met his eyes—eyes filled with emotions she couldn’t quite name. Her heart was pounding, but not from fear.
Feeling the warmth of his hand on her waist made her legs go a little weak. She gripped his arm tightly and whispered, “I’m not some scaredy-cat. You won’t scare me.”
Tong Yi looked down at her and stayed silent for nearly ten seconds before saying, “Jiang Xiao Li, will you be my girlfriend?”
Jiang Li: “…”
“Be my girlfriend, and I’ll be all yours from now on. Everything I have—including my abs—is yours.”
As he said this, he let go of her brow and took one of her hands, which had been awkwardly hanging by her side, and guided it to his abs.
Jiang Li’s hand visibly trembled, yet she didn’t pull away. She bit her lip and whispered, “So from the very beginning, you planned this, didn’t you? Teaching me to swim was just a pretext.”
Tong Yi shook his head immediately. “At first, I just wanted a chance to spend time with you. I didn’t think of anything else.”
Jiang Li hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, “There are security cameras around this pool, right?”
Tong Yi froze, but quickly shook his head and answered honestly, “I bought this swimming pool. When I found out you wanted to learn here, I had all the cameras taken down.”
She didn’t want to learn at the school pool because she didn’t want people to see her floundering around the water. So of course he couldn’t let those awkward moments be recorded. She certainly wouldn’t like that.
But why was she suddenly asking about cameras?
While Tong Yi was still dazed, Jiang Li suddenly leaned in and rested against his chest, then whispered, “I already decided to be your girlfriend the moment I agreed to let you teach me how to swim.”
Tong Yi: “…”
Happiness came so suddenly, he almost couldn’t believe it. He was left completely stunned, unable to react.
Jiang Li continued, “You may be two years older than me, but you’ve always been pretty childish. And yet, somehow, I ended up liking someone as childish as you…. even I find that hard to believe.”
Tong Yi finally started to come back to his senses. He carefully peeled Jiang Li away from his chest, held her face in both hands, and asked, “When… when did you start liking me?”
Jiang Li thought for a moment and answered honestly, “I’m not sure. But back at the KTV, when you kissed me after getting drunk, I wasn’t actually angry.”
As for why she didn’t accept his confession right away, it was because it had felt so sudden. Besides, Tong Yi hadn’t pushed her for an answer at the time. He said he wanted to pursue her for a while and let her think it over.
And later on… she actually started to enjoy the feeling of being pursued by him, so she just kept dragging it out.
If it weren’t for today’s unexpected turn of events, she didn’t know how much longer it would’ve taken for them to get together.
Tong Yi looked shocked. “You really weren’t mad?”
Jiang Li pressed her lips together. “I wasn’t at first. But then a certain someone woke up and pretended nothing happened, remember? That was pretty infuriating.”
Tong Yi said immediately, “I would never deny it. I’ll take responsibility for everything I’ve ever done to you.”
Right after saying that, he quickly leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead.
The last time he’d kissed her, she hadn’t been angry—so this time, she probably wouldn’t be either, right?
Sure enough, Jiang Li didn’t get angry. Her face flushed red instantly, but she still forced herself to act composed. “Is your kiss limited to only one spot?”
The last time, at KTV, he had also kissed her forehead—and right in the center too. No variation at all.
Couldn’t he… kiss her on the cheek, at least?
Tong Yi froze again. After a long pause, he asked, “Can I?”
Jiang Li looked confused. “Can you wha—”
But before she could finish, Tong Yi’s face quickly moved closer, and his lips sealed the rest of her sentence.
Jiang Li’s eyes widened in disbelief. She tried to push him away, but the man in front of her stood firm as a rock, completely unmoved.
She tried to open her mouth to protest. “You—”
But the moment she spoke, Tong Yi took the opportunity to deepen the kiss, leaving her unable to say another word.
Right then and there, Jiang Li finally realized: Tong Yi was, without a doubt, a grown man—not just a childish boy.
After what felt like a very long time, Tong Yi finally let her go and asked in a low voice, “Why’d you forget how to breathe?”
Jiang Li gasped heavily, trying to steady her breathing. When she finally caught her breath, she glared up at the culprit, but he reached out to cover her eyes, his voice husky. “Don’t look at me like that… I can’t handle the temptation.”
Jiang Li: “…”
How was she tempting him?
Do all men start thinking with that part of their body once they get into a relationship?
At that moment, Tong Yi began doubting his own self-control. He tried to change the subject.
“You know what? If Third Master Feng finds out what I just did, do you think he’ll come after me with a knife?”
Jiang Li: “…”
She suddenly remembered she’d promised her uncle that if she ever got into a relationship, she’d tell him first so he could vet the guy for her.
And yet…
Jiang Li pushed his hand away from her eyes and said weakly, “Third Uncle actually praised you before. He… probably wouldn’t disapprove, right?”
Tong Yi was stunned, “Why did he praise me?”
Jiang Li hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “He misunderstood and thought I liked Qin Zheng. He said Qin Zheng wasn’t good enough, and then compared the two of you—said you were better in every way.”
Tong Yi’s mouth twitched. “If he knew back then that you liked me instead, he definitely would’ve said I wasn’t good enough and started comparing me to Qin Zheng…. saying Qin Zheng was better than me at everything. You believe that?”
Jiang Li: “…”
Third Uncle… probably wouldn’t be that shameless… right?
