44. Exchanging Three Small Kisses on the Cheek for One Big Kiss
Yan Zhen quickly took a shower and returned to his room. Lying on the bed, he flipped through the “Special Trump Card: Stick Practitioner” obtained from completing the task while pondering about life with a sense of melancholy.
In the script, he didn’t have this kind of interaction with Instructor Yu Xuan. This wave belonged to being forced to add scenes, and he didn’t know if it would cause problems.
Although Instructor Yu Xuan wouldn’t go as far as liking him because of this, wouldn’t their future interactions feel strange?
Moreover, if it was exposed, wouldn’t it have a very bad impact on her reputation?
Emmm…
“System-chan, do you have any constructive suggestions?”
[Loading database.]
“Oh, read it then. I’ll wait for you.”
[Ding! Loading complete. Organizing relevant data.]
“Organize, organize, hurry up.”
[Ding! Organization complete. Analyzing relevant data.]
“Are you done analyzing?”
[Ding! Analysis complete. Generating conclusion.]
“…”
— So you’re saying this broken system is not even as good as “Hello, World!” It’s like an old phone, needing to go through the process step by step even when asking for an opinion. Can’t you make a pointer and directly output the conclusion?
[The Host’s words are wrong. Only by following strict steps for calculation can the correct answer be obtained.]
“Then hurry up. Don’t dilly-dally. Do you want me to pour you a cup of cappuccino?”
[Ding! System’s warm response: For scenes outside the script, the Host can freely display acting skills as long as it doesn’t violate the protagonist’s character setting and doesn’t contradict the plot of the script.]
Yan Zhen was speechless. “… System, do you really think this kind of nonsense is very constructive?”
[Ding! System’s warm correction: It’s not nonsense, but constructive suggestions.]
— What the hell is warm about you!
Yan Zhen rolled his dead fish eyes and then chose to sleep.
He slept well. The next day he woke up feeling refreshed. After washing up, he came to the dining room. His chair had been moved back to its original position at some point.
Yan Meng’er, wearing an apron, just walked out of the kitchen, holding a stack of pancakes in her hands.
“Cousin, sit down~ Breakfast is ready.”
As she spoke, she put down the plate and patted the back of the chair with her clean little hand.
Yan Zhen went over and sat down.
Yan Meng’er immediately took off her apron and stuck to him. She took out a small notebook from her hand and placed it in front of him. “Cousin, look~”
Yan Zhen glanced at it while stuffing a pancake into his mouth and found that it was a small calendar, and the last three days were all marked with hearts.
“What is this?”
“The day before yesterday, yesterday, and today, Cousin still hasn’t let Meng’er kiss you once, so Meng’er wrote it down~”
“!”
Yan Zhen almost choked on the pancake and hurriedly drank some tea.
Recently, he had been practicing the “Ancestral Talisman Scripture” to the point where his divine soul trembled, and he didn’t take any promises to heart.
Fortunately, he remembered saying it was just kissing on the cheek. Endure it for a bit and it would pass.
“I didn’t say it didn’t count. Then Meng’er, do you want to kiss now? If you want to kiss, hurry up before they come out. Otherwise, if Instructor Yu Xuan sees it, both you and I will be punished.”
Yan Meng’er originally wanted to sneak a taste in the corner of the academy during the lunch break, but after hearing Yan Zhen’s words, she suddenly felt the urge to try.
Before Sister and the others come out… This kind of talk is so exciting~
Yan Meng’er bit her lip and said in a delicate voice, “Then Cousin, close your eyes~”
Yan Zhen looked at her suspiciously. “Why do I need to close my eyes for a kiss on the cheek? Don’t play tricks.”
“Oh, Cousin, you’re overthinking. Meng’er is just shy~”
Yan Meng’er held her delicate little face with both hands, acting shy, not knowing if it was real or fake.
“I’ll believe you this once.”
Yan Zhen swallowed the pancake in his mouth and closed his eyes. He felt his cousin’s arms wrap around his neck, and her face also came close. He could smell a peach blossom-like fragrance. He heard the girl say again, “Cousin, can Meng’er exchange three small kisses on the cheek for one big kiss?”
— Are you collecting fragments to exchange for the complete version? Where did you learn that from?
Yan Zhen unhesitatingly spat out the three words “Cannot.”
“We agreed on only kissing the cheek.”
“But the mouth is also a part of the face. Cousin, you have to keep your word~”
“What nonsense. Don’t play word games with me. Have some respect.”
“It’s not a word game. This is called divergent thinking~”
“Don’t argue either.”
“Mmph! But, but if you kiss on the cheek, it will leave a mark and be seen by others. Meng’er put on lip gloss this morning.”
“I can wipe it off… Are you going to kiss or not? If not, forget it.”
“Kiss, I’ll kiss. Cousin is stingy.”
Even with his eyes closed, Yan Zhen could imagine Yan Meng’er’s expression of dissatisfaction with her lips pouting. He felt a bit helpless.
Soon, he felt the girl’s soft lips pressing against him. The extreme sensation reminded him of strawberry-flavored jelly.
Just when Yan Zhen thought she was going to let go, he felt the flesh of his cheek being sucked, and then the tip of her little tongue mischievously smeared saliva on it.
Yan Zhen indifferently said, “Have you kissed enough?”
“Not yet~”
The voice sounded a bit strange because the girl’s pink lips were still pressed against his face, even sliding and changing position, making people feel that she had the little scheme of kissing all over Yan Zhen’s face with just “one kiss.”
Yan Zhen had a black line on his head, thinking that he knew this girl wouldn’t be honest and obedient to just kiss once and leave. Here she was, starting to act shamelessly.
“We agreed on one kiss. How long do you want to kiss for?”
“It counts as one kiss until I let go~”
Hearing this, the corner of Yan Zhen’s mouth twitched slightly.
After all, she was the lady of the City Lord’s Mansion, the grandniece of the Earl. At this moment, where was the slightest demeanor of a well-bred young lady? She was a pure flower-obsessed girl.
“Hurry up and finish kissing. If they see us later, our agreement will be void!”
This threat was indeed effective. Yan Meng’er immediately let go of her lips and looked at Yan Zhen from a distance, saying resentfully, “Bad Cousin, don’t scare Meng’er when she’s happy~”
After saying that, she quickly kissed Yan Zhen on the other side of his cheek and forehead, then sat back in her seat with satisfaction. She even considerately took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, and then smiled sweetly.
A bit sassy, a bit cute.
Yan Zhen couldn’t do anything about her. A few months ago, his little cousin was still being played in the palm of his hand, but after entering school, she had completely changed her position.
It might be because there were too many women in the house, which suppressed his masculinity.
It would be fine once he rose up in the monthly test.
Soon, Yan Ruyu, Mi Xue’er, and Instructor Yu Xuan all came over.
Seeing Yan Zhen, Instructor Yu Xuan’s heart skipped a beat, but her expression was well controlled.
After breakfast, Instructor Yu Xuan left first, and the remaining four people fell behind, heading to the Mystic Academy together.
It was already time for the theory class, but Yan Zhen didn’t need to continue drawing talismans for the time being, so he didn’t slack off in class.
During the lunch break, Yan Zhen didn’t go to find Yan Meng’er. After agreeing to be kissed by her once a day, the previous agreement became invalid.
“Little brother Yan Zhen, aren’t you coming to the cafeteria with us?”
“No, I have something else to do.”
He had to go find Instructor Yu Xuan to fulfill the agreement and then escape. Otherwise, he always felt like there was a sword hanging over his head, which could make the character and plot he was playing become a complete mess at any time.
