Chapter 704: Strike First

Unable to contain his emotions, he suddenly moved closer—

“What are you doing?” Sheng Yang suddenly turned her head vigilantly, the ends of her long hair sweeping across her neck. Her heart was itching.

He cleared his throat. “Nothing.”

He had to take things slow with Yangyang. He couldn’t go too fast.

Sheng Yang thought about what she had seen in the book. Suddenly, she leaned forward and gave Yi Juncheng a quick peck on his lips before quickly leaving.

It was quick and gentle.

If it weren’t for the lingering fragrance on his thin lips, he would’ve thought it didn’t happen at all.

Then, she stared at Yi Juncheng solemnly.

It was important to strike first.

His pupils constricted, and he muttered to himself for a long while before he found his voice. It was still low and hoarse. “You…”

Before he could say anything else, Sheng Yang had already gotten back on the motorcycle and left.

Yi Juncheng reacted and chased after her, but she was nowhere to be seen. He panicked.

Just then, he received a message from her.

[I’m going back first. You lost tonight.]

There was a double meaning to her words. It wasn’t just about the race but another matter as well.

Yi Juncheng laughed. Indeed, the girl he liked was not an ordinary girl.

He calmed himself down, but his fingertips were still trembling slightly. He replied: [I’m willing to lose to you, but it won’t be so easy next time.]

With that said, his eyes curved into crescents. If he didn’t say so, how could he let himself taste the sweetness again?

Sheng Yang had already returned to the university. At the university’s entrance, her ears were still slightly hot as she stared at the message.

Being one step ahead was actually so difficult.

She touched her chest. Her heart was racing. She felt a little uncomfortable, but mostly…

She curved her lips. It was a strange feeling.

Winter had arrived, and the weather was getting colder. The finals arrived as scheduled. The members of Innovation Group A handed over a beautiful thesis. When the results of the finals came out, everyone finally understood why Sheng Yang didn’t want to write a thesis. Even if she didn’t write a thesis, she would definitely be number one. Therefore, for someone like her who was afraid of trouble, there was really no need for her to do so. Qin Yuan also realized the gap between her and Sheng Yang. She found her initial thoughts when she entered university to be even more ridiculous.

Ji Qingming was very satisfied with their thesis, so he didn’t say anything and let them go. He was thinking about how to publish such a beautiful thesis under his name.

A plane was flying over the capital toward Yan City. This time, it wasn’t Sheng Hanjing who went to pick her up but Sheng Tingze… He said he had business in the capital recently, so he went to pick Sheng Yang up out of convenience.

On the plane, Sheng Tingze seemed to have found a way to get along with his sister. He no longer listened to Jin Si’s advice or tried to please her awkwardly. He did his own work while she read her book. The two of them acted as if they didn’t know each other at all.

If it weren’t for a foreigner taking the initiative to strike up a conversation with Sheng Yang, this peace wouldn’t have been broken.

The foreigner didn’t dare to overstep his boundaries. He just followed the etiquette of their country. As he praised Sheng Yang, he subconsciously reached out to kiss the back of her hand. However, Sheng Tingze suddenly grabbed his hand and broke his arm.

Seeing this, Sheng Yang’s brows twitched.

“Ow, my hand is fractured! Why are you so ruthless?”
