Chapter 373: Childhood Friends Must Be Cultivated from a Young Age (56)

In the afternoon, there was a physical education class.

Shen Mubai was dragged by Xu Lin to exercise for a while under the guise of losing weight.

She was panting and sat down on the ground.

Xu Lin clutched her stomach with a constipated expression on her face and said, “Oh no, oh no, I must have eaten something bad last night. Jiang Luoluo, can you help me return the equipment? I need to go to the restroom first. I’ll treat you to ice cream another day.”

Then she rushed off in a hurry.

Shen Mubai took a deep breath, resigned to her fate as she gathered up the sports equipment and headed toward the gym equipment room.

The hallway of this building was quite remote, so even during the day, the lights had to be turned on. There was hardly anyone inside at this hour, and apart from the faint sounds of laughter in the distance, it was very quiet.

After placing the last piece of equipment into the cabinet, Shen Mubai was just about to stand up when she heard a faint noise by the door. Before she could react, the lights above her suddenly went out, followed by the sound of the door being shut.

A series of footsteps approached from behind her, their leisurely pace nonetheless causing her heart to race.

Shen Mubai swallowed nervously and was about to turn around when a familiar voice chuckled softly, “Long time no see, my little princess.”

Warm breath brushed against the back of her ear, sending a shiver down her spine.

She didn’t know when the person had gotten so close. Shen Mubai’s sense of alertness and danger heightened sharply.

She kept her composure and said, “It’s you.”

Cool lips brushed against the edge of her earlobe, and the person’s deliberately husky voice carried a seductive undertone, “Yes, it’s me.”

Shen Mubai knew that any sudden movements would only provoke the person to restrain her, so she endured the discomfort and asked, “What exactly do you want?”

The person embraced her from behind, pressing his cheek against hers, and caressed her hair, saying, “To punish you.”

Shen Mubai felt her scalp tingling, her mind racing to devise a plan.

She continued to engage with the person, saying, “I don’t know what I did to offend you.”

The person laughed softly in a way that was hard to interpret, “You never do.”

Shen Mubai felt an odd sensation. She knew that this person was deliberately altering his voice, but there was a familiar quality to it that she couldn’t shake.

A cold tongue slid across her neck, and the warm breath felt like a slimy venomous snake coiling around her, “You don’t know how I feel about you… even the jealousy and desire… you’ve never known.”

Shen Mubai was held tightly in the person’s arms, those strong hands continuing to tighten their grip.

Her voice trembled slightly as she tentatively asked, “Do I know you?”

The person’s body paused briefly.

Shen Mubai had said this to divert the person’s attention. Taking advantage of the moment, she tried to use her body to strike at the person’s weak point.

However, the person reacted quickly and not only avoided being hit but also managed to restrain her.

Shen Mubai was tightly held in his arms as he leaned in and chuckled softly, “So disobedient.”

He then nibbled on her earlobe, accompanied by a soft pant, “Today, I saw…”

Shen Mubai struggled a bit, but it was futile.

She forced herself to calm down.

The person continued in a low voice, “I saw that boy hugging you.”

Shen Mubai thought of the confession earlier that morning. Although it was just an accident, the thought of this pervert secretly watching her made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
