Quick Transmigration: The Villainess Is a Sweetheart

Chapter 38

Shang Lu seemed to be gritting his teeth, waiting for her answer. After she nodded, he relaxed his grip and let out a faint, indistinct laugh.

Jiang Yan's eyelid suddenly twitched.

"Now that you've agreed, can I give you a kiss?" Shang Lu asked with a smile.

Before Jiang Yan could respond, Shang Lu's hand had already grasped the back of her neck, pulling her close, his breathing heavy.

Shang Lu usually appeared easygoing and low-key, treating people with gentleness and nonchalance. So Jiang Yan had never really sensed any aggression from him.

But when he kissed her, Jiang Yan was confronted with Shang Lu's raw power, the strength of a grown man, who could effortlessly pin her in his embrace.

What followed was a tempestuous onslaught. Jiang Yan was stunned by his kissing, her beautiful eyes brimming with glistening tears, her whole body losing strength.

Finally, Jiang Yan understood why Shang Lu was always scolded by his brothers - he was not human, incapable of acting like one.

After who knows how long, Jiang Yan was released. She felt her tongue was a little sore, as if it had been bitten. Jiang Yan stared at him accusingly with her moist eyes.

Shang Lu remained unfazed, shameless and even somewhat satisfied. He gently wiped her mouth with a tissue, coaxing her in a humble, boyfriend-like manner: "Want to go grab a bite?"

So he had reverted from being a beast to a man, huh?

Jiang Yan had been kissed so roughly that her hands trembled as she checked the class schedule, her heart sinking: "I have class in fifteen minutes."

"Wait for me, I'll walk you there," Shang Lu said in a low voice, his hot breath cascading over Jiang Yan's neck.

Outside their classroom stood a male student with an indifferent expression, handsome and noble features, a pair of alluring peach blossom eyes that nonetheless conveyed a subtle sense of distance, deterring anyone from getting too close. Those familiar with the school heartthrobs knew this was Shang Lu from the Art Academy - wealthy, handsome, from a good family, but hard to pursue. Many girls chased after him, but none received a response.

When the school bell rang, Jiang Yan emerged wearing a face mask and was immediately pulled to Shang Lu's side.

On the crowded staircase, many were surprised to see Shang Lu was taken, curiously looking at his partner's appearance. But all they could see were black eyes peeking through the tousled hair and a petite chin outline - she wore a mask. And just as they tried for a better look, the man by her side had already shot them a chilling, menacing glare.

The girl who had been caught staring at Shang Lu's partner by his direct gaze thought to herself, "Well, I've made it in life."

Jiang Yan wore the mask simply because her lips were too swollen from the intense kissing; she felt too embarrassed to show her face.

Shang Lu handed her a milk tea, his muscular arm lightly draped over her shoulder, guiding her through the crowd down the stairs.

Finally, Jiang Yan had secured her free meal. But her joy didn't last long before she realized the cost.

Shang Lu loved kissing far too much.

Every day, whether before class or after school, Shang Lu would appear and accompany her to eat all sorts of delicacies, his eyes fixated on her mouth while she ate.

She didn't understand her own allure. Everything about her seemed to live up to Shang Lu's fantasies; he adored every part of her. A simple glance from her eyes made him want to kiss her until she cried.

After being helplessly kissed again, leaving her lips red and swollen, an indignant Jiang Yan threatened him through her tears: "If you keep kissing me like this, I won't brush my teeth anymore!"

Shang Lu's laughter was husky and raspy, enough to make one's legs go weak. He sighed in her ear, "Sweetheart, how can you be so adorable?"

Once, when Jiang Yan was genuinely upset and couldn't stop crying, Shang Lu tried consoling her for a long time to no avail. Exasperated, he resorted to a trick he had learned from his buddies - sending her a large red envelope with money.

He had braced himself to be scolded by his sweetheart, but to his surprise, the gem who was still shedding tears lit up at the sight, inching closer and asking him softly with a sobbing voice, "Really?"

The pitiful sight nearly melted Shang Lu's heart. He gently patted Jiang Yan's back and said, "Sweetheart, if you liked money, you should have told me sooner. I wouldn't have let you cry for so long."

...

Ever since using the red envelope to pacify Jiang Yan, Shang Lu had gifted her jewelry, handbags, and other expensive presents. But Jiang Yan's reaction was indifferent, as if she only accepted them to avoid disappointing him.

Shang Lu speculated whether his sweetheart simply liked money.

Of course, that wasn't the case.

Jiang Yan was just worried that Shang Lu would dump her one day, leaving her unable to return these things. After all, in the original plot, she ended up losing everything she had gained.

Money was alright, but bags and the like would just become second-hand and depreciate in value after being used.

Jiang Yan, her swollen lips still visible, transferred the large red envelope Shang Lu had sent to her mother.

When her mother asked about it, she claimed it was an early scholarship disbursement.

Having dealt with this major issue, Jiang Yan began to focus on her career - livestreaming.

After all, she had accumulated experience in her previous world, and officially started on Saturday evenings while working at the internet cafe.

Su Su Rabbit was a veteran viewer on the platform. Besides watching the few big streamers she followed, she spent her time looking for fresh faces.

By chance, that evening she lingered on a livestreaming page.
