Chapter 137 : Chapter 137
137. Can’t I Just Enjoy It?
Yi Ning’s grasp of a man’s XP was quite precise.
The faint fragrance wafting from her body, the warm breath at his ear, paired with a low, lazy voice—
If the surroundings could just switch to dim lighting and a mellow saxophone, it would absolutely plunge Lu Zheng into this gentle paradise.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t switch the scene.
But even so, it was enough to draw Lu Zheng into fantasy.
Sexy to the max!
This full-on assault on his vision, touch, and smell—how could Lu Zheng possibly withstand it?
Of course, he couldn’t.
Fortunately, as a hero, Lu Zheng had attended courses on resisting honey traps.
As Lu Zheng, he might not be able to resist Yi Ning’s honey trap, but as long as he switched to Hero Mode, everything would be fine.
Thus, Lu Zheng closed his eyes, hypnotizing himself, treating Yi Ning as an evil female officer sent by the Evil Organization to corrupt him.
Hmph!
Such cheap tricks, showing off in front of me?
Lu Zheng opened his eyes, all distracting thoughts now cleared.
Yi Ning?
Just a pink skeleton.
“Tsk!”
Yi Ning let go of Lu Zheng’s shoulder, leaning back slightly as she glared at the unbothered Lu Zheng with dissatisfaction.
She actually… failed!
How was this possible?!
To successfully seduce Lu Zheng, Yi Ning had truly used every trick she could think of—
Gentle whispers, faint touches...
Everything she imagined men would like, and which wasn’t too extreme for her to attempt, she had tried on Lu Zheng.
Yet aside from Lu Zheng’s body occasionally stiffening, he sat as still as an old monk, not reacting at all, leaving Yi Ning questioning whether her current body had any charm at all.
If it weren’t for that embarrassing scene back at the base, Yi Ning would have suspected Lu Zheng was impotent.
“Hey! You!”
Yi Ning, annoyed, extended her leg and kicked Lu Zheng in the calf.
But unexpectedly, Lu Zheng, who had been sitting still, suddenly reached out and grabbed Yi Ning’s ankle.
Yi Ning froze.
She hadn’t expected Lu Zheng to fight back.
But after a moment of surprise, a surge of shameful anger rose within Yi Ning.
How dare you fight back?
You’ve got some nerve!
Yi Ning furiously tried to pull her leg back, but no matter how she struggled, Lu Zheng’s hand gripped her ankle like an iron clamp, unmoving.
This familiar sensation sparked a hint of panic within Yi Ning, a phantom pain throbbing in her head, making her struggle even more violently.
Perhaps Yi Ning’s intense reaction finally broke through, as Lu Zheng seemed to snap back to himself, glancing at Yi Ning’s slender leg, then at his own hand.
“Ah, uh…”
Lu Zheng awkwardly lowered Yi Ning’s foot to the floor, releasing his grip, even courteously patting off nonexistent dust from her foot.
“Um… so, have you finished eating? If so, I’ll go pay the bill.”
Saying this, Lu Zheng stood, ready to flee to the cashier.
But how could Yi Ning give him the chance?
“Stop right there.”
Lu Zheng hadn’t even taken two steps before Yi Ning grabbed his wrist, yanking him back down onto the chair.
Yi Ning reached out and pinched Lu Zheng’s chin, forcibly turning his face toward her, a smug smile on her lips.
Trying to escape?
“Don’t think you can run before explaining what just happened.”
Yi Ning held Lu Zheng’s face, pulling him close, her tone laced with threat.
Unfortunately, compared to the slight threat, what Lu Zheng noticed more was the warm breath brushing against his face each time Yi Ning spoke.
Combined with the faint fragrance of Yi Ning, Lu Zheng’s mind began to waver.
“Mhm~”
At such a close distance, Yi Ning easily noticed the subtle changes in Lu Zheng’s expression.
She squinted, revealing a satisfied smile.
Now this is more like it.
That wavering look—perfect.
Yi Ning leaned in and blew lightly into Lu Zheng’s ear, nodding with satisfaction when she saw his ear twitch involuntarily.
She moved closer again, lowering her voice as she began questioning:
“All right, tell me, what was that jus—”
Before she could finish, she noticed from the corner of her eye that Lu Zheng had closed his eyes again.
Recalling his previous behavior, she straightened up slightly, pinched Lu Zheng’s eyelid, and lifted it to forcibly reveal his eyes.
“Trying to escape again?”
Yi Ning lifted her hand slightly, her expression turning sly.
“Spit it out. What was that just now? Otherwise…”
She released Lu Zheng’s eyelid, sat down beside him, pulled out her phone, and before Lu Zheng could react, grabbed his hand, hovering it near her chest, and snapped a photo.
Then, Yi Ning quickly flung Lu Zheng’s hand away.
“Hehehe~”
She shook her phone proudly.
“Mister Hero, you wouldn’t want this photo plastered all over the Hero Association’s official website tomorrow, would you?”
Too despicable!
Seeing the photo, Lu Zheng trembled all over, cold sweat drenching him even in the summer heat, his limbs icy.
The angle was chosen precisely, and Yi Ning had even put on a tearful expression in that instant, making it look like Lu Zheng was forcibly molesting her in the photo.
His hand had been hovering above, not even touching Yi Ning’s clothes!
He discreetly glanced at Yi Ning’s phone, calculating how to snatch it and delete the photo before she could react.
But Yi Ning seemed to see right through him, shaking her finger with a smug grin.
“Who do you think I am?”
“Standing before you is none other than the greatest evil genius of this century, the sole pillar of the I Love Savory Tofu Pudding Association, a mad scientist ahead of her time, the trendsetter of the era, a top seller on the Universe Trading Network, the ultra, ultra, ultra, ultra, ultra cute girl, Dr. Alien, the great Yi Ning!”
“The moment I took this photo, it became impossible for you to completely delete it!”
As she spoke, Yi Ning waved the phone in Lu Zheng’s face, making his anger boil.
But Lu Zheng could do nothing, and could only retort sullenly:
“There’s not enough room here for that many titles.”
“All right, all right.”
Yi Ning scooted over, slipped off her shoes, and propped her foot on Lu Zheng’s lap, patting her thigh.
“Though I won’t let you touch my chest, you can go ahead and touch my legs all you want.”
“How about it? I’m being pretty generous, aren’t I?”
Yi Ning fully understood the principle of giving a sweet date after a stick.
Lu Zheng glanced at Yi Ning’s smug expression, then at her long legs stretched across his lap.
Did Yi Ning really think this tiny concession would make him submit?
Lu Zheng placed his hand on Yi Ning’s calf and began confidently caressing it.
After being teased for so long, couldn’t he at least enjoy it a little?
