Can’t bear it, and don’t want to bear it any longer.
He lowered his head and, under the girl’s astonished gaze, accurately captured those tender pink lips in a kiss.
Lan Hui’s mind was a complete mess at this moment, like a ball of paste—she simply couldn’t react. Her beautiful eyes were wide open.
The man’s kiss was urgent and passionate, pressing hard, as if he wanted to pour all his fervor into her through this act.
They were pressed so close together that Lan Hui could feel his scorching breath falling on her face, their breaths intertwining.
She could hear his powerful heart beating rapidly, thump thump thump thump……
From initial shock, Lan Hui slowly began to accept it. Peng Kai was always very clean, his breath fresh, making her a little addicted.
Unconsciously, her hands wrapped around his waist, and she began to respond to him, though clumsily.
Even though it was Lan Hui’s first time in a relationship, she was innately lively and optimistic. She’d be shy and nervous at first, but once she got used to it, she would give all her passion.
Peng Kai was about to go crazy. He never knew that kissing could be such a deadly thing. The girl’s enthusiastic response was like a fuse, completely igniting him.
Right now, he felt like a man made of fire, desperately needing to cool down, desperately wanting to devour her whole, not leaving even a trace.
Peng Kai forced himself to stop, using his last shred of reason to let go of Yue Fu.
If they kept going, something was definitely going to happen tonight.
He and Yue Fu hadn’t been together for long, and they hadn’t reached that stage yet.
Besides, he’d promised Auntie before that, even if they lived together, he absolutely wouldn’t cross the line.
“Fufu, go to bed now.” Peng Kai panted heavily, sprawling on the sofa, sweat beading on his forehead and the tip of his nose.
Although Lan Hui had never eaten pork, she’d seen pigs run—she understood what Peng Kai’s state meant right now. Blushing, she softly murmured an “mm,”
and dashed back to her room like an ostrich.
Peng Kai sat on the sofa, calming himself for over ten minutes before finally going to the bedroom to grab clean clothes for a shower.
After entering her room, Lan Hui flopped onto the bed, rolling around a few times. She patted her burning cheeks and touched her lips.
“Hiss.” It hurt a little.
She hurried to the full-length mirror in the corner to check.
The girl in the mirror was all flushed, her eyes watery, lips swollen and red—astonishingly alluring.
It added an extra touch of intoxicating charm.
Lan Hui suddenly understood why Peng Kai had reacted so intensely. With such a seductive look, even she, as a woman, felt it was incredibly sexy—let alone Peng Kai, a man in his prime.
She quickly took out some lip balm from the drawer and dabbed it on. “Hope it goes back to normal by tomorrow morning.”
About an hour later, the living room quieted down. Lan Hui guessed Peng Kai had already gone to bed, so she took her pajamas to the bathroom for a shower.
She was deliberately avoiding Peng Kai, afraid it would be awkward if they ran into each other.
Peng Kai wasn’t asleep either, standing silently by the window in the second bedroom, smoking.
He hadn’t expected himself to lose control like that today.
He’d been in a relationship before, but never like this.
He didn’t even know if Yue Fu had been frightened by him.
Lan Hui was indeed startled by him. That night, she kept dreaming over and over, all of them about what had happened in the living room.
Even the next day at work, Lan Hui was listless, her mind wandering.
At lunch, Lan Hui sat with everyone at a long rectangular table. A coworker teased, “Xiao Fu, what’s up with you today? You’re so distracted at lunch. Missing your boyfriend?”
Another coworker chimed in, “Hahaha, I bet she’s missing her boyfriend, just can’t wait to get off work for a date.”
Sister Lan laughed, “I ran into Xiao Fu’s boyfriend dropping her off at work this morning. Finally saw Xiao Fu’s boyfriend’s Lushan True Face—so handsome.”
The manager agreed, “Xiao Fu is so pretty, her boyfriend can’t be bad. Xiao Fu, when are you bringing him over for us to meet?”
“Yeah, we all want to meet him.”
Sister Lan added, “Xiao Fu’s boyfriend really is good-looking, but from a distance, I could see he’s got heavy dark circles. You young ones are all passion and fire when you first start dating, but don’t forget to take care of your health.”
Most people in this line of work as lactation consultants were mothers themselves, married and experienced. Their conversations were bold, with no embarrassment at all.
Lan Hui blushed fiercely. “Sister Lan, keep your mind pure! We just got together—we haven’t done anything else. My boyfriend works at Peng Kai Auto Repair Shop.”
“With the New Year coming, business is way better than usual. He was busy until midnight last night and only slept a few hours, so of course he’s got dark circles.”
Lan Hui had been startled by Peng Kai’s dark circles this morning too.
He looked like he hadn’t slept all night.
But she didn’t have the nerve to ask.
She really had been scared by Peng Kai last night, still remembering flashes of that scene in her dreams.
She woke up this morning still feeling unsettled.
Actually, she wasn’t afraid when Peng Kai kissed her.
The real fright was after Peng Kai let go, when he sat on the sofa.
He was tall, and sitting there he looked like a jagged, towering little mountain.
From her angle, it was as if a ten-plus centimeter dagger was stuck sideways into the middle of the mountain slope.
Extremely abrupt, extremely eye-catching.
Extremely scary.
Lan Hui had already been startled by Peng Kai’s thick leg hair before, and now, seeing this kind of scene, she mourned for herself for three minutes.
***
After lunch, Lan Hui sent Peng Kai a message: “Kai-ge, starting today, you don’t need to pick me up after work. Your shop is busy, so focus on yourself first. I want to exercise, so walking home is good for me.”
But she still wanted him to drop her off in the morning. She’d gotten a taste of being sent to work by her boyfriend and didn’t want to give it up.
After all, she could sleep ten more minutes in the morning, which kept her energized all day.

Peng Kai was so busy he barely touched the ground, and by the time he saw his girlfriend’s message, three hours had passed.
He chuckled and replied with a simple “Okay.”
With the New Year approaching, Lan Hui decided to go home for the holiday. Since she had no classes at night, she went shopping alone to buy clothes and pants for her parents.
Peng Kai was too busy to go with her, but Lan Hui didn’t mind, happily browsing by herself.
Buying clothes for the elderly was easy—just needed to look proper, comfortable, and warm.
She quickly picked out two sets, one for each parent, costing over three thousand yuan.
Now that Lan Hui had money, she was willing to buy nice things for her elders.
She didn’t forget Peng Kai either, buying him a pair of black Martin boots, plush inside, warm for winter, costing over six hundred yuan.
After buying everything, she went to the express station to mail her parents’ clothes, then went home.
By the time Lan Hui got home, it was already past ten at night, and Peng Kai still hadn’t returned—he was probably still busy at the shop.
Lan Hui placed the shoes on the coffee table and personally wrote a card:
“Kai-ge, this is my New Year’s gift for you. Try them on when you have time. If they’re too big or too small, I can exchange them. There’s a little selfishness in this gift: wherever you go, you’ll have to think of me.”
At the end, she drew a heart.
Peng Kai didn’t get back until after two in the morning. He’d taken an outside repair job that night—a car had broken down in the suburbs.
Towing would’ve been too expensive, so the owner called him over for four or five hundred yuan.
