Chapter 179: The Little White Rabbit Holds a Grudge (4)

Feeling the stares of the people around them, a faint blush crept onto Ning Ruoxi’s pretty face.

Clearly, she hadn’t expected this guy, Ye Ling, to be so utterly shameless.

’How could he dare say something like that so loudly?’

Ning Ruoxi, who had been wearing a teasing smile just a second ago, was now burying her head like an ostrich, picking at her rice in tiny bites.

Seeing Ning Ruoxi’s reaction, Ye Ling was inwardly delighted.

’Looks like she shot herself in the foot.’

"So? Are you joining the dance club or not?"

Ye Ling had no intention of letting Ning Ruoxi off the hook and pressed on with his question.

He could already imagine the scene: Ning Ruoxi at home in the future, dancing just for him...

Tsk tsk.

What a scene that would be.

Absolutely beautiful!

Except...

’A bit NSFW, perhaps?’

"I’m not going."

Ning Ruoxi rolled her eyes at Ye Ling and huffed softly.

’Sure enough. He’s the king of all perverts!’

"Why not?"

Disappointment instantly filled Ye Ling’s face.

"It’s your fault for shouting so loud and laughing so creepily just now."

Ning Ruoxi said, wrinkling her cute little nose.

"You’re really not going?"

As he spoke, Ye Ling pulled Ning Ruoxi straight into his arms.

"Stop fidgeting! Everyone’s watching!"

Startled, Ning Ruoxi immediately tried to push Ye Ling away.

But how could she possibly match Ye Ling’s strength?

She pushed, but he didn’t budge an inch.

And to make matters worse, the bastard was now blowing hot breath against her ear!

Feeling the tingling sensation, Ning Ruoxi felt her entire body go limp, unable to summon even a trace of strength.

"Who’s watching?"

Hearing this, Ye Ling smirked and scanned the room.

Instantly, the Modu University students who had been sneaking glances all lowered their heads, too embarrassed to meet his eyes.

’Oh, come on! Stop torturing us singles!’

’This is too much!’

’Don’t single people have rights?’

The students seethed inwardly.

"See? They’re all focused on their food!"

When Ye Ling saw everyone lower their heads, he huffed triumphantly and spoke to the girl in his arms.

"Jerk, you’re getting more and more shameless!"

Ning Ruoxi buried her face in Ye Ling’s chest and muttered.

’She was really too embarrassed to keep eating here...’

After all, she wasn’t nearly as thick-skinned as Ye Ling!

"Is that so?"

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow. Tilting up Ning Ruoxi’s chin, he met her dazed eyes and pressed his lips against her soft, red mouth.

At that moment, Ning Ruoxi’s mind went completely blank.

She had never, ever imagined Ye Ling would be this audacious.

The Modu University cafeteria was packed with students!

Even though some had looked away under Ye Ling’s glare, many others couldn’t help but continue to sneak glances in their direction.

At the sight of such an intense display of affection, everyone who was watching quickly averted their eyes again.

This was just...

Unbelievable!

But even after looking away, some couldn’t resist sneaking another peek.

It was a feeling that was hard to put into words—they didn’t want to watch, yet they couldn’t stop themselves!

’Sure enough. People are just gluttons for punishment~’

Ning Ruoxi had just eaten a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, making her lips look plump and red.

Ye Ling took his time savoring the sweet and sour taste, only letting the girl go after a long moment.

"The sweet and sour pork ribs in the cafeteria are pretty good today."

Sensing Ning Ruoxi’s mortified glare, Ye Ling chuckled and commented.

"Jerk, you are so dead!"

Ning Ruoxi shoved Ye Ling away and, glaring at him, enunciated each word with chilling precision.

"Is that so?"

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips again.

At this, Ning Ruoxi flinched, all her earlier fire vanishing in an instant.

’She felt like a cute little bunny being targeted by Ye Ling, the big bad wolf!’

’A really, *really* big, bad wolf.’

’The kind that was lusting after her body!’

"Food."

Ning Ruoxi lowered her head and, choosing discretion over valor, went back to her rice.

"Hehe."

Seeing her reaction, Ye Ling didn’t tease her any further.

He had figured Ning Ruoxi out completely. As long as he didn’t push her to the point of extreme embarrassment, she wouldn’t truly blow up.

That’s why he was always able to tease her just enough to get that adorable, mortified reaction.

As Ning Ruoxi ate, she noticed Ye Ling had suddenly gone quiet, which left her feeling strangely frustrated.

’If that jerk said just one more word, she was going to pound that big bad wolf to a pulp with her little fists!’

But now he’d gone silent...

’It felt like she’d charged up her ultimate attack, only for the final boss to run away!’

So frustrating.

"Hey, Jerk, can you do me a favor?"

Ning Ruoxi asked, looking at Ye Ling.

"What favor?"

Ye Ling asked warily.

’Given her tone... this can’t be good!’

’Especially since I just finished teasing her.’

The little bunny might be cute, but she had one very troublesome trait.

She holds a grudge!

’The kind of grudge she writes down in a little black book to remember every single detail!’

"Hit me."

Ning Ruoxi said.

"Why?"

Now Ye Ling was even more confused, completely unable to fathom what she was thinking.

"Just hit me when I tell you to. Stop asking so many questions."

Ning Ruoxi frowned, sounding displeased.

"Well, when you put it like that, there’s no way I’m hitting you."

Ye Ling refused point-blank. "Not unless you tell me why first."

He was now absolutely, one hundred percent certain that this girl was trying to set him up.

"I want to hit you."

Ning Ruoxi grinned, revealing a very ’friendly’ smile.

Normally, Ye Ling would find that smile incredibly sweet, but now... seeing her pearly white teeth, he subconsciously rubbed his arm.

He could still clearly feel the two rows of bite marks there.

The ones Ning Ruoxi had left yesterday.

A shiver ran down Ye Ling’s spine.

’This little bunny wants to bully someone again!?’

"Well, if you want to hit me, just hit me..."

Ye Ling said, sounding aggrieved. He casually picked up his cup, wanting to take a sip of water to calm his nerves.

’Damn it. She wants to hit me, but she’s asking me to hit her first? If I actually did it, my life would be forfeit!’

"It’s just that if you don’t hit me, I don’t have a reason to hit you,"

Ning Ruoxi said with a look of pure innocence. "And I’d feel bad about that."

"PFFT—"

Ye Ling immediately spat a mouthful of water straight back into his cup, staring at Ning Ruoxi in utter speechlessness.

’Is... is that even a thing?’

"Come on, hit me!"

Ning Ruoxi pouted, her voice turning soft and wheedling.

’Is... is she trying to be cute?’

Ye Ling’s eyes widened in disbelief.

’She’s even resorting to her ultimate weapon—acting cute—just so she has an excuse to hit me!?’

’That’s just too unfair!’

’I never knew you had this side to you, Ning Ruoxi!’
