Chapter 78: My Favorite Orange Scent

In the living room, the girl’s muffled cries were incessant.

Su Cheng had already lost track of how many minutes had passed. The alternating hot and cold sensation on her lips made her forget the time.

With her own strength, Su Cheng couldn’t stop Gu Xiya; it was hard to believe the seemingly frail girl could be so strong at this moment.

While her wrists ached, her lips also throbbed with a dull pain.

Her kiss wasn’t just a simple contact; it also carried a gentle nibbling.

Su Cheng’s thin, tender red lips could be broken with a little force, but Gu Xiya controlled it perfectly.

She was like a barbecue master, her control of the heat was exquisite. Cook the meat a little longer and it would be tough; cook it a little less and it wouldn’t be fragrant.

Su Cheng didn’t want this to continue. Most importantly, she still hadn’t figured out why Gu Xiya had suddenly become like this.

She stared into her ruby-like eyes, which were now sparkling with a brilliant light, desire swirling within them.

The moment Gu Xiya’s lips parted from hers, Su Cheng immediately covered her own mouth with her palm, her fingers slightly propped up to leave enough space to breathe.

Although Gu Xiya stopped, her crimson gaze was fixed on Su Cheng’s dazed, azure eyes, the desire to devour her swirling and coiling in her mind.

“Hah, hah… Xiya, stop…”

Su Cheng’s heavy panting brought Gu Xiya back to her senses a little, and the pathological look in her eyes quietly receded a bit.

Her cool fingertips flicked away the strands of hair stuck to the corner of Su Cheng’s mouth, her gaze somewhat dazed as she stared at that beautiful, flushed face.

Gu Xiya was not yet satisfied. Her pink tongue lingered on her own lips, licking away the lingering fragrance, swallowing it all.

“Haah~” a satisfied sigh of fulfilled desire escaped from Gu Xiya’s lips.

Hearing this, Su Cheng scrambled up in a panic and retreated to a corner of the sofa, her eyes wide as her body trembled nonstop.

“Xiya… what on earth is wrong with you?”

“Hehe~” Gu Xiya’s laugh sent a chill down Su Cheng’s spine, even frightening her. “Cheng Bao, you smell so good.”

Su Cheng swallowed hard, her chest filled with Gu Xiya’s unique sweet scent, “Xiya, we’re good classmates, right?”

“Good classmates?” Gu Xiya tilted her head to the left.

“Good besties.”

“Good besties?” Then she tilted it to the right.

Seeing Gu Xiya’s reaction, Su Cheng’s heart pounded with anxiety. Could it be that both her answers were wrong?

Gu Xiya quickly closed the distance, and Su Cheng had no time to escape.

A warm, soft palm pressed against Su Cheng’s chest, right over her heart, a smile on her pretty face.

“Ngh~” Su Cheng winced in pain. She didn’t know why Gu Xiya’s strength was so great.

Su Cheng felt as if her heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand, her breathing becoming heavier and more rapid.

There was a familiar, inexplicable sense of oppression pressing down on her chest, giving her a sense of foreboding.

“Cheng Bao, what exactly is our relationship, hmm?” A playful smile tugged at Gu Xiya’s lips as she stared at Su Cheng.

“Um… I, I don’t know either…”

Gu Xiya gave a few hints, “You, you, let me think… I’ve already kissed you, so what does that prove?”

“It proves, it proves…” Su Cheng stared blankly at Gu Xiya, her mind a complete mess.

This was like a math proof problem on the college entrance exams. You knew at a glance that the answer was thirty degrees, but you just couldn’t articulate the proof.

And at this moment, Su Cheng knew at a glance that Gu Xiya had feelings for her, but she just couldn’t say it out loud.

“Hmm? Why did you stop talking?” Gu Xiya maintained a faint smile, while Su Cheng remained tense.

Feeling the accelerated frequency of Su Cheng’s heartbeat, she narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, staring at Su Cheng intently.

Swallowing hard, Su Cheng gave the wrong answer, “It proves we’re not good besties.”

“Pfft, hahaha… then what are we?”

“We are, we are, we are…” Su Cheng stammered, unwilling to say it.

She was scared of Gu Xiya.

Especially the faint, terrifying aura she was emitting.

Seeing the sweat on Su Cheng’s forehead, fine beads covering her face, Gu Xiya let her off the hook.

Her warm palm left Su Cheng’s pounding heart, a playful smile on her cute and charming face.

“Hehe, I won’t make things difficult for you. How about we play a game?”
Su Cheng blinked a couple of times, quietly taking a breath, her expression relaxing, “What game?”

“You’ve definitely played it before. Penguin Flycar.”

Su Cheng let out a cry of understanding, “Oh, I’ve played that. Me versus you?”

Gu Xiya nodded lightly and said, “Of course. But, I’m going to add a condition.”

“Oh? What condition?”

Gu Xiya said calmly, “We’ll play a race to seven. The winner, the one who gets first place seven times, can ask the loser to do any one thing.”

“Ah? Any one thing?”

Gu Xiya moved her head slightly, “Yes, any one thing. But it must be within the other’s capabilities, and it must be redeemed today.”

“Tsk, quite particular. Let me think.”

She wasn’t thinking about the request, but about her own chances of winning.

Putting aside Gu Xiya’s skill in Penguin Flycar for a moment, she herself was a man—woman who had earned the title of Skill Master for several consecutive seasons.

This was like being a Challenger on the Ionia server in LoL, or a Glory Gun King in CrossFire.

The distance she had raced would be enough to circle the earth five times in reality. In terms of proficiency and skill, she had absolute confidence.

Even though it had been three months since she last played, the skills deeply ingrained in her muscle memory wouldn’t be forgotten so easily.

Those were skills she had spent countless all-nighters at internet cafes to hone.

In Su Cheng’s eyes, Gu Xiya was probably a master among casual players at best.

Such a master was no different from a noob for her to crush.

If she won, then she would have a way to make Gu Xiya stay away from her.

Because the dangerous aura she was emitting was already making Su Cheng feel uneasy.

“Alright, I accept.”

Hearing Su Cheng’s reply, the corner of Gu Xiya’s mouth lifted into a barely perceptible arc.

It was like a beautiful butterfly flying straight into a carefully laid spiderweb.

“Come with me.”

Gu Xiya led Su Cheng to her room, and Su Cheng’s eyes lit up.

Her room was no smaller than Yin Xuelian’s. To the left of the entrance was an extra-long computer desk with two computers on it. To the right was a large bed, and a wardrobe stood in the corner against the wall. The overall decoration was quite simple.

“You turn on the computers first. I’ll go get some snacks. We can eat while we play.”

“Okay.”

Gu Xiya turned and left. Su Cheng continued walking inside, went to the computer, and turned on both machines. She then plopped down into the soft gaming chair, a look of enjoyment on her face.

“Wow, the screen is so big, it feels even bigger than the ones at the internet cafe. And the keyboard is a Dorothy collaboration. It feels so good.”

Su Cheng happily caressed the keyboard, tapping here and there.

“If you like it, I can give it to you,” Gu Xiya said with a smile in her eyes, appearing at the door with a plate of fruit and snacks.

Su Cheng immediately stopped what she was doing and laughed awkwardly, “No, no, I don’t have a computer in my dorm, so I don’t need a keyboard. Wait.”

Hearing this, Gu Xiya placed the plate in the empty space between her and Su Cheng.

She opened the game and skillfully entered her password to log in.

Since Su Cheng hadn’t logged into Penguin Flycar for a long time, she had almost forgotten her QQ password.

Fortunately, thanks to the muscle memory of the keyboard, she managed to type the password correctly.

“Phew, I almost forgot my password,” Su Cheng sighed in relief, grabbing a cherry from the fruit plate and eating it.

Her account was still logging in, while Gu Xiya’s was already logged in.

Out of curiosity, Su Cheng scooted her chair closer to Gu Xiya’s and looked at her screen.

She had thought Gu Xiya’s character would be a lavishly dressed female character, but to her surprise, it was a handsome and charming male character.

And what surprised Su Cheng even more was the “God of Racing Technique” decoration hanging in the top right corner of Gu Xiya’s character.

Su Cheng’s eyes widened in shock as she swallowed hard.

Gu Xiya seemed not to have noticed Su Cheng’s surprised expression and casually opened her personal information. A dazzling, brilliant golden light instantly blinded Su Cheng’s almond-shaped eyes.

‘This… this is really a God of Racing Technique!’

‘Holy crap!’

‘So you’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing, you little brat!’

“My Favorite Orange Scent… hmm…”

Su Cheng muttered to herself, not yet realizing something was wrong.

Gu Xiya glanced at Su Cheng but didn’t say anything, picking up a carton of milk to drink.

She was deliberately waiting for Su Cheng to discover the clues.

When Su Cheng’s gaze fell on the “Partner” section, she saw a familiar nickname.

Partner: “Orange Scented Fragrance.”

???

‘Wait, this nickname…’

‘It can’t be…’

Su Cheng didn’t dare to jump to conclusions. Her expression was grave, and as she furrowed her brows, her gaze shifted to the screen in front of her.

As Su Cheng expected, her character was a flamboyantly dressed female character.

No matter how she herself changed, the data in the game would not.

Su Cheng still remembered that she played a female character, turning the racing game into a dress-up game, essentially raising a daughter.

The lovely and pitiable female character filled half the screen, smiling sweetly, her skirt dancing lightly.

Su Cheng nervously moved the mouse, swallowing the saliva between her lips and teeth, and opened her personal information panel.

Nickname: “Orange Scented Fragrance.”

At this moment, Su Cheng was completely dumbfounded.

Her gaze slowly moved downwards, finally stopping blankly on the partner section.

Partner: “My Favorite Orange Scent.”
