The rooftop was largely deserted; it was Jiang Wei's territory, a place he often sought refuge to smoke or rest.
Jiang Wei cornered Shen Yue against a wall. The young girl wore a neat and tidy school uniform, her sleeves pristine white. She was exceptionally clean, her clothes always immaculate, the picture of a model student.
Yet, her face was ethereally captivating. Her dark eyes were cool and serene, like a lake in spring. Her features held a pure, alluring charm, amplified by the mole on the bridge of her nose, making her appear even more captivating.
She seemed to subtly entice others without even trying.
“What homework are you doing?” Jiang Wei clearly disliked Shen Yue dedicating too much energy to her studies. His dark eyes were deep and smoldering, churning with heated waves. “Can’t you stay here and keep me company?”
Yesterday’s homework had been a bit much, and Jiang Wei always insisted on long kisses. Shen Yue actually didn't want to waste too much time here. She spoke in a soft, pleading tone, “Not today, can I accompany you tomorrow?”
Upon hearing this, he let out a cold laugh, “No.”
The girl watched him in silence, her eyes as placidly luminous as a moonlit lake, gentle yet seemingly devoid of warmth.
For reasons unknown, Jiang Wei’s heart skipped a beat. He said, almost in exasperation, “Don’t look at me like that. It’s not like I’m getting something for free from you.”
For some reason, speaking these words made his heart feel restless.
He attributed all of it to Shen Yue’s disobedience.
She had been quite well-behaved just a few days prior.
But this afternoon, when she saw him, she hadn't even acknowledged him, acting so feigningly innocent.
Jiang Wei had lost his patience. His temper was never known to be good.
He wrapped an arm around Shen Yue’s waist, her slender waist fitting easily into his embrace.
He tightened his grip. Jiang Wei always held Shen Yue with considerable force, as if afraid she might escape, as if trying to embed her entirely within his embrace.
One thing Shen Yue disliked about Jiang Wei was that his kisses lasted too long.
Her lips were swollen and red, as if about to bleed. Her chin was damp, and her nose tip was flushed. Faint finger marks graced her cheeks, from Jiang Wei’s uncontrolled force.
Shen Yue pulled back, tilting her neck slightly, but he still found her scent and pursued her with another kiss.
Fierce and demanding.
His suction was so intense it left her lips vividly red.
He was tall, nearly a meter ninety.
Kissing someone so tall was exhausting.
The rooftop door was somewhat dilapidated. Amidst the haze of the kiss, Shen Yue thought she heard a sound. Jiang Wei, consumed by the moment, didn’t notice. He remained lost in his passion.
Shen Yue pushed against his shoulders. Finally managing to create a small distance, she urgently whispered, “...Someone’s...here…”
Her voice was sticky, like water soaked in honey.
Jiang Wei’s heart raced, his mind a blank canvas except for her vibrant red lips and the faint, sweet fragrance.
Soon, he stretched his neck and pursued her again.

He Jin was carrying a broken desk to the top floor.
The rooftop door was ajar.
He Jin placed the damaged desk, intending to leave. However, his gaze inadvertently swept over the narrow gap, mere inches wide, and he saw a scene unfolding.
The rooftop door was keyed; no ordinary person could access it.
The slender figure looked somewhat familiar.
He Jin instinctively quieted his footsteps, moving closer to observe.
He saw her—Shen Yue.
Shen Yue was being held by a tall male student, kissed forcefully, fiercely, and savagely. And Shen Yue, just like that day in the equipment room, didn't resist but was obediently kissed roughly.
She was truly compliant.
Shen Yue was thinner than most girls; her slender frame was almost entirely engulfed by the boy.
Shen Yue was very fair. The sunset’s glow cast upon her, making her almost transparently white.
The boy kissing Shen Yue was none other than the arrogant Jiang Wei.
The very instigator of their forced kiss the last time.
Jiang Wei’s face retained its usual calm handsomeness, but the tip of his ear, adorned with an earring, burned scarlet.
Shen Yue was forced to tiptoe, her calves trembling slightly.
Watching this, He Jin couldn't help but recall the incident in the equipment room.
He had tasted it.
So soft.
So sweet.
So fragrant.
His heart pounded violently, threatening to leap from his throat. His Adam's apple bobbed as he stared at Shen Yue’s small, pretty face. In his panic, he accidentally brushed against a nearby table, producing a faint sound.
Almost as if his body moved before his consciousness, he turned and fled swiftly before he could even fully register the situation.
Yet, his heart refused to calm down.
—
After an unknown amount of time, the kissing finally stopped.
Shen Yue’s lips were numb. Jiang Wei still held her delicate chin.
“From now on, you’re not allowed to pretend you don’t see me. Did you hear me?”
Jiang Wei was still fixated on Shen Yue ignoring him that afternoon.
Shen Yue found it a bit perplexing. She could clearly sense that Jiang Wei was reluctant to be seen with her in public. Perhaps Jiang Wei himself hadn’t realized it; whenever they met on the street, he would instinctively walk on the opposite side, in the opposite direction from her.
It seemed he was extremely unwilling to have any connection with her, so Shen Yue had simply complied with his wishes. So why was he bringing this up now?
They were close together. Jiang Wei could easily see every expression on Shen Yue’s face by simply lowering his gaze.
Shen Yue’s cheeks and nose tip were flushed pink, and she exuded a faint, sweet scent that almost captivated Jiang Wei’s soul.
Her lips were both soft and sweet.
For some reason, the mere thought of others having tasted these lips, not just him, made Jiang Wei incredibly irritable and anxious.
He also remembered foolishly handing Shen Yue over to He Jin to kiss, something that made him want to slap his past self.
He looked at Shen Yue, his sharp, piercing gaze fixed on her, possessive like a predator guarding its prey.
A frigid tone, as if laced with poison, spilled from his throat.
“You’re not allowed to let anyone else kiss you from now on. Did you hear me?”
Shen Yue met his eyes calmly, without flinching.
She didn’t seem afraid of him.
Her dark, serene eyes, so pure they seemed unfocused, had slightly reddened corners. Tears had clumped her eyelashes together in tufts, making her beauty heartbreaking and captivating.
She seemed unimpressed by Jiang Wei’s possessive gaze.
She simply said in a soft voice,
“Don’t kiss for so long next time.”
Jiang Wei’s expression darkened with annoyance, his tone growing even more sinister. “Answer my question first.”
Shen Yue simply replied quietly, “You kissed me until it hurt. If you do that again, I won’t let you kiss me.”
