Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC Chapter 97

Chapter 97

“I will go to the supervisor tomorrow to receive my punishment,” Fang Chaozhou swiftly took over the conversation as Xue Danrong’s words fell.

An instinctual sense of impending danger made him feel that the punishment Xue Danrong mentioned might not be something favorable.

However, Xue Danrong didn’t let him off easily. “You deceived me. Why should you go to someone else to accept punishment?” His voice paused, and at the same time, he took a step forward. Fang Chaozhou saw him approach and couldn’t help but take a step back.

Seeing Fang Chaozhou’s movement, Xue Danrong’s gaze darkened slightly. He took another step forward, and Fang Chaozhou involuntarily retreated another step. But he forgot there was a desk behind him. In his sudden retreat, his balance faltered, and he ended up sitting on the desk.

He was just about to stand up immediately, but it was already too late.

Xue Danrong was already right in front of him.

And suddenly, he felt a hand touch his face.

That hand was icy cold, a stark contrast to the warmth on his cheeks. The fingertips moved along the direction of his ear and then downward until they reached the nape of his neck.

“Guess how I’ll punish you, and there’ll be a reward.”

The hand rested gently on the back of his neck, fingertips pressing down and kneading, not like a punishment, but more like…

Actions taken during their dual cultivation.

Xue Danrong always enjoyed touching his neck, not just his neck, but his ears too.

Fang Chaozhou closed his eyes, trying to suppress the myriad of thoughts in his mind. However, the harder he tried not to think, the clearer it became, as if the other’s kiss had already descended.

Those warm and lingering kisses, landing on his lips, earlobes, Adam’s apple, and the nape of his neck…

Fang Chaozhou’s face turned even redder. So red that he didn’t dare to open his eyes. At that moment, he felt his lips being touched by something hard.

Hmm?

Fang Chaozhou paused for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes to see Xue Danrong standing upright, his slender fingers pinching a chestnut and brushing it against his lips.

Xue Danrong saw him open his eyes and moved the chestnut slightly. “Peel them, five hundred of them. When you’re done, go back.”

With those words, he took out a large bag of chestnuts and stuffed it into Fang Chaozhou’s arms.

Fang Chaozhou stared at the paper-wrapped bundle in his hand and then looked up at Xue Danrong, who appeared perfectly calm. He licked his lips and stammered, “N-Not… you’re punishing me… by having me peel chestnuts?”

“Yep.”

“Really just peeling chestnuts?” Fang Chaozhou couldn’t believe it and asked again.

Xue Danrong responded with another “yes,” adding, “You can’t eat them.”

Fang Chaozhou: “…”

He withdrew his gaze from the chestnuts in his arms, his hands full of them. He felt himself hardening, his fists clenched.

“Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred, a hundred chestnuts! There are still… four hundred left…” Fang Chaozhou’s initially joyful expression immediately dimmed. Peeling just these one hundred had already taken him quite some time, and now he had to peel another four hundred. Would he be peeling chestnuts until midnight?

He had promised to go down the mountain with the Brown Chicken and eat at various restaurants along the way. Yet here he was, peeling chestnuts, smelling their fragrance, and not being able to eat a single one.

As Fang Chaozhou sulked, he noticed a hand reaching into the bag of chestnuts he had just peeled. Following the gaze, he saw that hand extracting a chestnut.

“Teacher, how about we stop here for today? I’ll finish the rest tomorrow…” He hadn’t finished his sentence when Fang Chaozhou saw Xue Danrong eating one of the chestnuts, then telling him—

“It’s ninety-nine.”

Fang Chaozhou was infuriated. Seeing Xue Danrong about to take another one, he pressed down on the bag and said, “No eating. If you eat more, I won’t be able to go back tonight.”

“Then don’t go back.” Xue Danrong’s expression remained calm. “Stay here with me.”

Fang Chaozhou’s hand pressing the bag twitched slightly. He pulled his gaze away from Xue Danrong’s face. “Stay for what?”

“To peel chestnuts.”

Fang Chaozhou felt his fists clench again. He even felt like he could tear apart his facade and tell Xue Danrong that he was the man who had forced him into dual cultivation.

No, he needed to stay calm. He couldn’t let such a small matter cloud his judgment.

But those chestnuts did smell so good.

Fang Chaozhou lifted his gaze to Xue Danrong again, hesitating before asking, “Are they delicious?”

Xue Danrong took an unpeeled chestnut, removed the shell, and stuffed the sweet chestnut meat into his mouth. After chewing, he nodded at Fang Chaozhou.

After watching Xue Danrong eat another chestnut, Fang Chaozhou felt even hungrier.

He had been eyeing that chestnut shop downhill for a long time. However, it was always crowded with customers, and the queue was always long. Due to limited leave time, he never had the chance to stand in line.

“Can I have one?” Fang Chaozhou wore an innocent smile. “Just one.”

Simultaneously, he extended one finger.

He had peeled so many, surely he could have just one, right?

Upon hearing his request, Xue Danrong reached for an unpeeled chestnut again. His hands were long and elegant, and his chestnut-peeling actions were quite pleasing to the eye. Fang Chaozhou stared as he peeled the chestnut, his eyes gradually brightening. When he saw that hand holding a piece of chestnut meat and offering it towards him, he couldn’t help but widen his mouth—

And then he tasted a mouthful of air.

Fang Chaozhou: “…”

He watched as Xue Danrong turned the corner of the chestnut meat into his mouth, and his brow twitched. If it were before, Fang Chaozhou wouldn’t be so easily provoked, but it had been a long time since he engaged in dual cultivation, and the surge of demonic energy within his spiritual sea amplified his emotions.

Fang Chaozhou swiftly grabbed the bag of chestnut meat, opened it, and scooped up three chestnuts, stuffing them into his mouth together. As he ate, he stared at Xue Danrong, deliberately putting on a display.

After eating three chestnuts, he didn’t stop; he continued eating until he couldn’t eat anymore. Then he threw the nearly empty bag of chestnuts back onto the table.

Xue Danrong observed Fang Chaozhou’s expression and actions keenly. He didn’t say anything but simply handed a handkerchief to Fang Chaozhou.

Fang Chaozhou was taken aback by the proffered handkerchief. He had thought Xue Danrong would get angry, or at the very least, reprimand him.

Because of his surprise, Xue Danrong naturally used the handkerchief to wipe his lips.

Not only did he wipe his lips, but he also wiped his hand.

After this action, Xue Danrong’s gaze fixed intently on Fang Chaozhou’s face. “You guessed the punishment right, so I should reward you now.”

As soon as those words fell, Fang Chaozhou saw Xue Danrong leaning in.

His long hair cascaded, brushing against his neck, leaving an itching sensation. Because Fang Chaozhou was sitting on a stool and Xue Danrong was sitting on the table, Fang Chaozhou had to tilt his head up.

He looked up, feeling Xue Danrong’s fingers lightly caress his neck. The kiss wasn’t intense at all; it was slow and leisurely. Still, the heat on Fang Chaozhou’s face started to rise little by little.

As Fang Chaozhou returned to his courtyard, clutching the remaining chestnuts, he found himself a bit dazed, almost running into a tree. Seeing the tree he nearly bumped into, he finally snapped back to reality.

Fang Chaozhou raised his hand to touch his cheek. It was strange; it was just a kiss, so why was his face still so flushed? He and Xue Danrong had engaged in much more intense activities.

But recalling the image of being pressed against the table, the bronze lamp falling to the ground, and being enveloped in darkness, the persistent redness on Fang Chaozhou’s face became even more pronounced.

“Come to Zhichun Island tomorrow night.”

Xue Danrong’s words seemed to linger in his ears.

Fang Chaozhou shook his head vigorously and quickened his pace towards the his place. As expected, when he returned, he was met with a visibly annoyed Brown Chicken.

“Sorry, I came back late,” Fang Chaozhou waved the bag of chestnuts in his hand. “But I brought back chestnuts.”

Brown Chicken glared at Fang Chaozhou, not buying his explanation. “Why did you come back so late?”

Fang Chaozhou paused for a moment before replying, “I fell asleep in the classroom.”

“Liar!” Brown Chicken’s voice suddenly grew louder.

Hearing someone call him a liar again, Fang Chaozhou’s heart trembled. “Huh?”

Brown Chicken was clearly exasperated. “You definitely went down the mountain alone; otherwise, where did you get those chestnuts? Unless you take me with you tomorrow, I won’t forgive you. If I don’t forgive you, I’ll run away from home!”

Fang Chaozhou let out a sigh and couldn’t help but pat Brown Chicken’s head. “Alright, we’ll go down the mountain together tomorrow.”

Fang Chaozhou was so preoccupied with calming Brown Chicken that he forgot about Xue Danrong’s words, especially considering there were no swordsmanship classes the next day. After not seeing Xue Danrong, he completely forgot about it.

The next day, Fang Chaozhou and “Brown Chicken” enjoyed a satisfying meal at the foot of the mountain and even had some fruit wine before returning.

Fang Chaozhou had a habit of bathing daily, and although he was somewhat tipsy now, he still insisted on bathing. Meanwhile, “Brown Chicken” took a quick swim in the fishpond and then returned to the room to sleep.

Fang Chaozhou stood swaying in front of the screen in the bathroom, half-closed eyes undoing his belt and removing his outer robe. As he stripped down to just his inner shirt, he suddenly hesitated, turning his head to look in a certain direction.

There stood a person.

This person wore a snow-white garment, with phoenix-like eyes and a mole on his brow that shone as brightly as a candle flame.

Fang Chaozhou tilted his head slightly, carefully sizing up the newcomer. After staring at the figure for a good while, he walked over in a leisurely manner. When he reached the person, he smiled, “Can you help me with something?”

The young man in the snow-white attire had a cold gaze, showing no softening due to Fang Chaozhou’s smile. Fang Chaozhou might have been a bit too intoxicated, as he took the initiative to grasp the young man’s hand and placed it on his own abdomen.

“My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable. Can you massage it for me?”

Upon hearing these words, Xue Danrong’s long eyelashes lowered slightly, and the hand he had been held by twitched.

Fang Chaozhou found the stomach massage soothing but grew tired of standing. Eventually, with his somewhat intoxicated brain processing things, he wrapped both his arms around Xue Danrong’s neck, hanging onto him and even resting his head on Xue Danrong’s shoulder.

He essentially shifted almost his entire weight onto Xue Danrong.

Allowing Fang Chaozhou to hang on him, Xue Danrong softly uttered a sentence after Fang Chaozhou closed his eyes.

“Shixiong, I haven’t eaten longevity noodles yet.”
