He did not coax anyone, nor did anyone dare to ask him to.
But Shen Yue seemed to be unable to read the room, nor did she know her place. With her hands pushing, the usually docile her actually began to struggle.
This made Jiang Wei feel a bit irritable, but he held back, thinking that Shen Yue's resistance was due to shyness from being seen.
Knowing something was one thing, but he was unwilling to indulge her.
He said coldly, "Shen Yue, don't be ungrateful."
Shen Yue stopped moving, her body stiff as a puppet.
She silently lowered her eyelashes, casting a shadow beneath her jade-like eyelids, her fingertips turning slightly pale. "I know."
Her calmness was chilling. She seemed to smile. "I know..."
Tiny sunlight shattered on her eyelashes, as if a layer of golden light had appeared.
Her lips were red, and her eyelids were a thin red.
For some reason, Jiang Wei suddenly felt a surge of anger, he didn't even know where this irritation came from. He could only grip the girl's chin forcefully and kiss her.
Fierce and brutal, tearing and yelling as if to devour.
—
He Ji had encountered some trouble recently.
His desk was inexplicably overturned, books scattered everywhere, some torn and thrown into the trash, beyond piecing together. It was like this every day.
Not only that, but his scholarship had also been revoked.
He Ji was tall and wasn't afraid of being cornered. He hadn't been injured, but these minor incidents were enough to give him a headache.
Shen Yue had heard about it; after all, He Ji was quite famous.
But He Ji had never mentioned it to her, acting as if nothing had happened, just like always.
Since He Ji didn't say anything, Shen Yue wouldn't ask.
However, Shen Yue couldn't just stand by and watch.
—
Green Island Bar.
Red and green lights cast a hazy, ambiguous glow. The music was explosive. In the opulent private room, alcohol and hormones mixed into a potent aroma, a scene of decadent indulgence.
Shen Yue turned the doorknob and walked in. The room was noisy, but her clean, neat white t-shirt still drew attention.
Everyone in the room looked up.
Shen Yue's expression remained unchanged as she walked forward.
The private room was filled with smoke, and everyone's expressions shifted subtly upon seeing her.
"Why are you so late?" Jiang Wei spoke first. He had a few drinks, his complexion normal, his thin lips slightly curved into a lazy, devilish smile.
Shen Yue walked over, and a boy next to Jiang Wei immediately stood up to offer his seat. Shen Yue glanced at it and then sat down. Her hair cascaded down, dark locks entwining around her neck, soft and fine like silk. Her soft lips were as red as overripe, plump, and swollen cherries.
The others saw Jiang Wei personally pull a cigarette from his pack and offer it to the girl, a hint of subservience in his voice, which he lowered.
"Have a smoke?"
Shen Yue didn't really want to smoke, but she felt a bit agitated today. After a moment's hesitation, she finally took it. Her slender fingers held the cigarette, her rosy lips biting down on it. Without a word, Jiang Wei instinctively and solicitously lit it for her.
The flame flared and quickly extinguished.
Smoke curled upwards,
Blurring the eyes.
Jiang Wei himself hadn't noticed how solicitous his actions were.
Shen Yue slowly took a drag, her movements somewhat practiced, her slender fingers like white jade.
She paid no mind to the gazes on her, lowering her eyes in silence.
The atmosphere in the entire room seemed to freeze.
Jiang Wei naturally noticed this abnormality. He lifted his eyelids, his gaze like a blade, his eyes sharp, carrying a chilling, sinister glint. "What are you looking at? Go play your own games."
No one dared to look any longer, quickly averting their eyes.
There were dice on the table; they had played a few rounds, but it was no longer interesting.
Jiang Wei looked at the girl's profile, his gaze involuntarily warming slightly. "Did you finish your homework?"
He had intended to bring Shen Yue with him right after school, but Shen Yue said she needed to finish her homework. Jiang Wei had magnanimously let her go for once, telling her to come after finishing her studies.
Shen Yue looked exceptionally pale in white; she was already glowing with paleness. "I've finished. I have many classes tomorrow, so I can't stay long."
He had just taken a drag of his cigarette, his lips and teeth carrying the scent of tobacco, and white smoke puffed out. Besides the tobacco smell, there was a faint fragrance.
It diluted the tobacco scent, giving off a very sensual feeling.
Jiang Wei felt restless, his throat extremely dry.
But he was also displeased. He didn't get to spend much time with Shen Yue, and recently she always used her studies as an excuse, which displeased him greatly.
Jiang Wei was handsome, with a high nose bridge, beautiful thin lips, and a dashing, unrestrained aura.
With his affluent family and superior upbringing, almost everyone clamored to be his friend.
Even though he had a terrible temper.
Now, Jiang Wei was unhappy. "I don't care, you have to play with me to your heart's content today."
Shen Yue looked over, her dark eyes filled with a clear, warm moisture, looking quietly, like a lake rippling under the moonlight.
Jiang Wei froze for a moment. Then, he leaned slightly, his lips close to Shen Yue's ear, saying, "It's no use looking at me like that, don't play the victim."
Shen Yue wasn't playing the victim, but Jiang Wei liked seeing her look pitiful. Shen Yue was willing to pretend. She thought Jiang Wei was a bit foolish, simple-minded, and strong in physique, like a child who would never grow up.
However, she wouldn't show it.
Shen Yue had no choice but to nod, indicating her agreement.
Jiang Wei's face lit up with satisfaction.
While the others were playing boisterously, Jiang Wei was uninterested. He preferred to stay by Shen Yue's side, watching her profile, as if he could never get enough.
Shen Yue disliked talking. When they were together, they mostly kissed; there was nothing to say, no topics to discuss.
Perhaps if he kissed Shen Yue's lips until they were bruised and bloody, he would murmur a few soft words in a subdued manner.
A man with a rather refined appearance walked over, inviting Jiang Wei to play.
"Play what?"
Jiang Wei wasn't very interested. His gaze didn't shift at all, still fixed on Shen Yue.
Shen Yue was already accustomed to his gaze, her expression unwavering.
"Truth or Dare, dare you play?"
Jiang Wei finally showed some interest. He leaned towards Shen Yue and asked, "Shall we play a round?"
Shen Yue didn't want to, but Jiang Wei was just asking for show. Regardless of Shen Yue's agreement, she was pulled along.
The seats around the large dark wood round table were mostly occupied. Some people consciously made way for two seats.
