A pleasant feminine fragrance wafted into Chu Qing’s nostrils, captivating his senses. Surprisingly, his body involuntarily responded to the scent. This physical reaction made Chu Qing realize how honest his body was. However, he knew better than to act on any impulsive desires at home. The consequences would undoubtedly provoke his father’s wrath, driving him to the brink of fury.

Recalling Ye Chenxi’s actions at dinner, Chu Qing wanted to make things difficult for her. He pointed at one of the questions and looked up. “How do you answer this question?”

As Ye Chenxi leaned down, her proximity to Chu Qing’s head became remarkably close. When Chu Qing turned around, he found Ye Chenxi’s pink lips in close proximity to his own. Their eyes met, and he couldn’t help but notice the tenderness in Ye Chenxi’s gaze. In response, a subtle movement of Chu Qing’s Adam’s apple betrayed the fluttering emotions within him.

He endured it and turned his gaze back to the math questions. He could feel that Ye Chenxi’s breathing had quickened behind him. However, she still restrained herself. Ye Chenxi stared at the question that Chu Qing asked her for a while and said with a dry smile, “Sigh, do you really like to study? Why do you want to learn these? If you can’t find a job in the future, I’ll support you!”

Tsk, he knew that she wouldn’t know how to answer. This confirmed his thoughts. Chu Qing solved the question in front of Ye Chenxi. How could Ye Chenxi not tell that Chu Qing did it on purpose? She snorted and straightened her back to express her dissatisfaction.

Chu Qing attempted the questions and was very out of it. His mind was all on the woman in the room. Ye Chenxi could not maintain her composure because of Chu Qing’s actions just now and wandered around the room in a fit of pique.

She looked around until she discovered something special. She immediately cried out in surprise and couldn’t be bothered to be angry with Chu Qing any longer. She exclaimed, “Wow, Chu Qing. You actually have such a thing. I thought you were different from other boys. It turns out there’s a little angel living in your heart.”

Chu Qing turned around and laid eyes on Ye Chenxi holding a pink music box in her hand. A peculiar expression crossed his face. That music box belonged to the other Chu Qing, something he had never paid attention to or handled before. Yet, at this very moment, Ye Chenxi had stumbled upon it and brought it up in conversation.

Chu Qing felt that his reputation had been ruined just like that. Without another word, he wanted to snatch the music box from Ye Chenxi and destroy the evidence.

Ye Chenxi could see Chu Qing’s motive. Of course, she was unwilling. It was not easy for her to find something that could deal a blow to Chu Qing. How could she let it go so easily?

In the room, a conflict erupted between the two of them. Ye Chenxi’s mastery of ancient martial arts made her exceptionally strong, making it challenging for Chu Qing to overpower her without utilizing his spiritual power. However, Chu Qing hesitated to use his spiritual power because he was afraid of inadvertently hurting her. After recovering from his injuries, Chu Qing had undergone a transformation and was on the verge of a breakthrough. As a result, he couldn’t wield his spiritual power with absolute control just yet.

In the midst of their stalemate, physical contact between the two of them became inevitable. Their bodies inadvertently brushed against each other, coming into contact with both appropriate and inappropriate areas.

“Give it back to me,” Chu Qing yelled.

Ye Chenxi blinked and deliberately angered Chu Qing. “I’m not giving it to you. Do you care so much about it? 1 really couldn’t tell!”

Chu Qing could not defend himself now. He gritted his teeth and said, “Whether 1 care or not, it’s none of your business. Give it to me now. Immediately.”

“I won’t give it to you. If you have the ability, snatch it from you. Aren’t you quite powerful…”

Chu Qing circulated his spiritual power. Before Ye Chenxi could finish speaking, her face turned pale. The music box was already in Chu Qing’s hand..
