Chapter 413 - The Mafia King Steals A Kiss
On the other side, professor Huang Liangshi's Math classes continued. He offered to make Lihua a cup of refreshing tea, to which she happily agreed. She was tired of solving Math problems. She had never solved that many problems in a single day.
As Wei came back with a cup of fresh tea brewing, he saw Lihua already asleep; her head rolled back on the couch.
He blinked his eyes. He quietly kept the tray and walked to her side. Wei stared at her beautiful sleeping face and softly smiled.
A lock of her hair tumbled on her face. Wei gently brushed it past her ear. He gazed at her beautiful features - her eyelashes, her cheeks, her nose and her lips.
Wei bit his lower lip. He really had an urge to kiss her.
Lihua is asleep..She won't know.
*Poof*
An angel Wei appeared on his left shoulder.
"You cannot do this Wei! You cannot kiss her like that. This is betrayal!"
Wei froze, and he was saddened. His gaze dimmed.
*Poof*
A devil Wei appeared on his right shoulder. He coldly glared at the angel Wei.
"Why are you always such a party pooper? Go ahead. Kiss her, Wei."
His dimmed smile beamed.
"No!" The angel Wei cried. "Lihua trusts you. She called you here to tutor her. You cannot take advantage of her. That's bad."
His smile dimmed again.
"Remember, you are here as Huang Liangshi."
"Oh shut up!" The devil Wei glowered, "Lihua is asleep. She won't know anything. It's just a kiss."
Wei seriously nodded. "Just a kiss."
The angel Wei said, "Technically, you shouldn't. You two are divorced. As such, you don't have the right. You cannot do this, Wei."
historical
Wei pursed his lips.
"Wei already kissed her at the hospital," The devil Wei smirked.
"Which I didn't approve of," the angel Wei righteously said.
"Nobody cares about your approval."
"..."
"I say, Wei, you listen to your heart and just kiss her. Quickly, before she wakes up!"
Wei nodded.
The angel Wei urged him. "No way. You are a stranger to her, not Wei. If she realizes it, she would hate you for kissing her. All your disguise effort will go to waste."
Wei paled. "No.."
The devil Wei said, "The stranger is Wei himself! So what if she doesn't know? Don't make a big deal out of a damn kiss. Ignorance is bliss."
Wei thought about it and nodded. "She won't know."
Before the angel Wei could say anything, the devil Wei tied him up and put tape on his mouth. "He isn't needed here. I will take him away."
"Mmpf!!!" He vigorously shook his head. But Wei ignored his pleas. "En. Take him away."
!!!
Don't regret it!
The angel and devil disappeared, and Wei looked back at Lihua. His heart raced as he tenderly placed his lips on hers. Happiness bloomed in his chest the moment he felt the touch of her soft lips. He shut his eyes and gently moved across, savoring the joy.
Wei pulled back a minute later, satisfied and blissful. He remembered the night he had kissed her when Lihua had slept with him in his apartment. He felt similar excitement coupled with nervousness about her waking up at any moment.
Just then, Lihua softly yawned and blinked her eyes. She stiffened to see Liangshi leaning extremely closer to her. She jolted and sat upright. "You.."
Wei quickly withdrew. He slightly panicked but remained calm on the outside.
"I thought I saw a mosquito around your lips," he quickly rambled the first thing that came to his mind.
"Huh?"
"It was my misunderstanding."
Lihua was amazed. She remembered that the first time she stole a kiss from Wei, she had thought of making a similar excuse if he caught her.
Her mouth twitched.
I thought I was the only one who could think of that...
Wei brought the cup and said, "Your tea."
Lihua forgot all about it and shrugged. He wondered if she felt different as he had kissed, but it seemed that she hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary.
Wei felt relieved.
After she was finished, she said, "Thanks! Sorry for napping like that. Let's get back to studying."
He pursed his lips. "No. This is enough for today. We will continue.." his gaze fell on her lips that he had just kissed and cleared his throat, "tomorrow.."
"Oh, okay!" Lihua beamed. "Thank you, Liangshi! I finally see hope now of passing in Math.." Lihua sobbed.
"En," Wei said, "I will leave now," his heart was filled with disappointment.
He dragged his feet to the door, and as he opened it, he saw a man already standing outside.
Lu Bojing jolted. He mumbled. "Don't mind me. I just-" he blinked his eyes, seeing Wei.
Lihua stood beside Wei and said, "Oh, Lu Bojing."
She recalled the weird conversation this morning and tried to smile.
The strange neighbor.
"Hello."
"...Hello," Lu Bojing seemed uncomfortable. "I didn't know you had a guest...I am sorry. I am really sorry.."
"No, no, I don't mind it-"
"I am always like this...I am tactless. I don't understand the atmosphere. I am sorry for being born.."
She choked.
"I just came to check on you...But I disturbed you.." Lu Bojing was panicking. "I should have stayed shut in my room...Why do I even exist?" He was mumbling to himself as he burst into tears.
Lihua didn't know how to talk to him anymore.
Then a grave voice came, "Who is he?"
"Oh. He is my new neighbor, Lu Bojing. He just shifted today," Lihua said.
Silence.
Wei stepped out and said, "I will be on my way."
"En."
Lihua coughed as she looked at Lu Bojing. "You came here for something?"
"Nothing..You seem fine, so I will leave."
"O-okay..?" Lihua sighed.
"Bye Liangshi."
"Bye."
Lihua gently closed the door.
Lu Bojing turned and was about to head back to his apartment too, but then he felt a hand on his shoulder.
He stopped and turned to see the guest watching him with narrowed eyes.
"Y-Y-Yes?"
"Let's talk," Wei quietly said.
---
Inside, Lihua touched her chest where she felt her heart beating rapidly. First the hug outside the bathroom and then Liangshi sitting closer to her after she woke up as if he was about to kiss her.
She didn't show it on her face, but she was extremely nervous being so near him.
What are you thinking, Lihua? Don't be an idiot.. Liangshi is not Wei. So, you better stop having these feelings right now!
