Chapter 17 Part 1

Cao Pinhui was like an experienced hunter, smugly admiring his prey.

Chi Nuan had been soaked by the rain, and her half-wet school uniform clung to her body, her full skin blending with her uneasy, pitiful, disheveled appearance, making it impossible to resist the urge to ravage her harshly.

Cao Pinhui scratched his hair.

Chi Nuan slowly approached a few steps and stopped at a relatively safe distance.

“Cao Pinhui,” she softly called his name, “let’s talk.”

Cao Pinhui raised an eyebrow. “Talk about what?”

Chi Nuan noticed the basketball at Cao Pinhui’s feet—no matter how it rolled, it stayed under his control.

This was not a good sign. Chi Nuan averted her gaze. “…You harassed me, smashed my Brother’s car parked outside Jin Xu Yuan, and threatened me with my Sister-in-law’s safety to make me come here to see you because…”

She took a deep breath. “Because you like me?”

As if he had heard a joke, Cao Pinhui scoffed dismissively. “You’re far inferior to Gu Ningzi.”

Chi Nuan bit her lower lip and gripped her school skirt tightly. “Then, then what are you doing all this for?”

Cao Pinhui’s gaze stuck to her lips, which had been abused by her teeth, lingering for a few seconds. His long legs pushed off the ground, and he stood up from the bench. He sauntered to Chi Nuan’s side, raised his hand, and lightly brushed the back of his hand over her cheek.

Chi Nuan reflexively shrank her shoulders but forced herself not to dodge. Cao Pinhui smiled in satisfaction and said, “Because… A-Wen protected you so Da Yue couldn’t touch you, and even Gu Ningzi warned me not to get any ideas about you. But me? I’ve been rebellious since I was little! The more I can’t touch something, the more it’s forbidden, the more I want it.”

His fingers trailed along her skin’s texture to her neck, slowly rubbing the skin where blue veins showed through, then suddenly gripped the back of her head and yanked her close to him, whispering in her ear, “Not to mention, your voice is so sweet. I want to hear you cry from being fucked by me.”

Cao Pinhui blew air against her ear. “How far have I thought? …To the point where you’ve become my recent fantasy object, to the point where I don’t even like Gu Ningzi that much anymore.”

The body under his hand stiffened badly. Cao Pinhui grinned silently.

Chi Nuan’s gaze slowly turned to Cao Pinhui’s face, her pale lips trembling. “So… you’re going to start here?”

She was very scared—he could tell. From the moment she entered, her body language had been extremely tense. She was a timid person, but when she asked that question, though her voice wavered, it carried a courage to face it head-on.

Her large, moist eyes shone like starlight in the unlit Changing Room on this rainy day.

“Or what?” Cao Pinhui asked.

Tears were about to fall but hadn’t yet. Chi Nuan hurriedly lowered her head and wiped them away. She faced Cao Pinhui again, her voice choked with sobs. “If I follow you, you can’t treat me this badly. …This is my first time. Not here.”

Cao Pinhui was stunned by her words, then laughed and shook his head.

Chi Nuan: “You don’t agree?”

Cao Pinhui thought for a moment, then his fingers left her smooth skin. “I agree.”

“Then come pick me up after school, and I’ll go with you then. …Okay?”

Cao Pinhui nodded.

With his consent, Chi Nuan stepped toward the door. Her heart pounded like mad, making her want to vomit. She suppressed it and tried to unlock the door, but her body didn’t cooperate—her fingers were too weak. She tried several times but couldn’t open it.

Footsteps sounded. Cao Pinhui had stopped behind her.

The Changing Room was so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing.

The wall clock ticked forward. The door lock was fiddled with repeatedly. Chi Nuan even felt Cao Pinhui’s breath on the back of her neck.

She couldn’t stand this atmosphere of being gripped in someone’s palm at any moment. The more anxious she got, the less strength she had. In an instant, cold sweat covered her back.

Finally, after who knew how many tries, the door lock clicked into place. It opened!

Chi Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and didn’t dare delay a second. She hurriedly pulled the door!

—Cao Pinhui’s large palm pressed against the door, slowly exerting force against Chi Nuan, gradually closing the gap she had pulled open.

The Changing Room door was shut again, and Cao Pinhui locked it.

Chi Nuan stared at the tightly sealed door in front of her, her pupils dilating sharply.

Someone outside turned the handle, trying to open the door. After confirming it was locked, they pounded on it a few times.

She didn’t know who it was—who it was didn’t matter, because Cao Pinhui roared through the door, “Get lost!”

There was no more sound outside.

The dizzying lack of oxygen lingered. Chi Nuan’s throat tightened so much she could barely make a sound. She tried to relax, even forcing a smile. “…Cao Pinhui, I have no money. My family can’t afford another one of your pranks. I just… hope you can treat me a little better. I-I’ll be grateful to you.”

“Almost got me—you think I want to treat you well? I don’t need your gratitude. I just simply want to fuck you, that’s all.”

Chi Nuan looked at him. The next second, her feigned composure completely crumbled. She desperately pulled at the door. Cao Pinhui gripped her wrist and slammed her into the row of lockers.

Chi Nuan’s forehead hit the metal cabinet and immediately turned red. She clutched her forehead and involuntarily slid down to sit. Cao Pinhui stepped forward, grabbed her shoulders, and yanked her up, pressing her against the cabinet door. “Don’t rush. It’s not time yet.”

As he spoke, Cao Pinhui pushed her away and held out his palm to her. “Should I do it, or will you come yourself?”

Chi Nuan’s head spun, her vision blurry for a while. Her voice trembled as she said, “I don’t understand what you mean.”

Cao Pinhui didn’t waste words and directly reached into her school skirt pocket. Chi Nuan realized his intent and desperately pressed against the cabinet, guarding her pocket. Unable to get it right away, Cao Pinhui irritably smashed open a cabinet door and pulled out a belt from inside!

Chi Nuan didn’t know where she got the strength, but she bolted toward the door. Yet how could she match Cao Pinhui’s speed? Midway, he grabbed her waist and shoved her against the cabinet again.
