My classmate seems to want to have s*x with me - Chapter 22

After finally catching her breath, Ding Chen wanted to stand up. Sensing her intention, Qiu Yanzhen moved aside and sat back on the steps. After standing up, Ding Chen walked down two steps, stood still for a moment, then turned around and walked back to stand in front of Qiu Yanzhen. Her entire body blocked the light, casting a shadow over the seated person.

Ding Chen’s expression and behavior were too subtle, and Qiu Yanzhen asked somewhat uneasily, “You don’t like it?”

“… No.” Ding Chen lowered her head, her gaze wandering over Qiu Yanzhen’s clean leather shoes.

Qiu Yanzhen then asked, “So, do you like it?”

Ding Chen’s pupils trembled slightly; she neither confirmed nor denied it. After hesitating for a long time and taking a deep breath to prepare to speak, Qiu Yanzhen changed the subject.

“Is today your birthday?”

Ding Chen was shocked and locked eyes with Qiu Yanzhen, “How do you know?”

“I accidentally saw it when I was the class monitor last semester.” Qiu Yanzhen felt a bit guilty, but didn’t show it on her face, “I think it was when I was collecting some materials.”

“Oh…”

Qiu Yanzhen rummaged through her pockets, took out a small box, and handed it to the still dazed Ding Chen, “Happy birthday.”

“Thank you…” Ding Chen felt her brain was overloaded today. She took her birthday gift and held it carefully with both hands, “Can I open it?”

Qiu Yanzhen nodded and said, “But there’s a card inside. You… look at it when you get home.”

Ding Chen opened the lid of the white box. Inside, there was a small bag and a small card. She took out the bag, closed the box, and then poured out the contents of the bag.

It was a delicate silver bracelet, with a simple design and no unnecessary embellishments, just a small crescent moon hanging from it. Ding Chen looked at the bracelet and then at Qiu Yanzhen, “Thank you, it’s very beautiful.”

“Do you like it?” Qiu Yanzhen clasped her hands behind her back, gripping one wrist with the other hand, and asked the question that hadn’t been answered earlier once again.

Ding Chen looked at Qiu Yanzhen’s deeply meaningful gaze, her palms sweating with nervousness, “You mean… practice with my hands?”

“…Hmm, do you like it?”

Ding Chen quickly nodded and replied, “I really like it.”

She put the box into the pocket of her skirt and tried to fasten the bracelet on her left wrist with one hand. Ding Chen had never worn such accessories before, and the difficulty of doing it with one hand was too high. She tried several times but couldn’t fasten it.

A pair of fair hands reached over and grasped the ends of the bracelet. Qiu Yanzhen had no idea when she had stood up, but she quickly helped her put on the bracelet. Her pinky finger brushed against Ding Chen’s wrist, sending a slight tickle through her. Ding Chen rubbed that spot with her right thumb, trying to erase the sensation.

The silver handcuffs hung loosely, the cold metal gradually balancing with her body temperature. Ding Chen rarely celebrated her birthday. In the past, her family would buy a cake to celebrate, but later, she could only receive birthday wishes from her parents over the phone, along with apologies for not being able to come home to celebrate with her. The gift on her birthday was a little extra money, allowing her to buy something she liked.

Actually, Ding Chen didn’t care much about celebrating her birthday, but suddenly receiving an unexpected gift surprised her. Qiu Yanzhen knew her birthday and even remembered it, which filled her chest with unfamiliar emotions. More than the physical gift, what made her happier was the small card lying in the box.

Ding Chen’s happiness was evident; she kept looking at the silver chain on her wrist, then looked up and smiled at Qiu Yanzhen, saying, “Thank you.”

Qiu Yanzhen always thought Ding Chen’s eyes were very beautiful, especially when she smiled, like now when her eyes were sparkling and curved into a lovely arc. She was already a bit taller than Ding Chen, and now standing on a higher step, she could easily reach out and touch Ding Chen’s head. Qiu Yanzhen couldn’t help but reach out and pat Ding Chen’s head.

Ding Chen tilted her face up and nudged against Qiu Yanzhen’s hand, rubbing her head against her palm like a little puppy. After she petted her head for a while, her hand slowly slid down to her ear and gently rubbed Ding Chen’s slightly cool ear. Ding Chen lifted her head, her innocent expression made Qiu Yanzhen find her very cute, and the thought of wanting to kiss Ding Chen popped into her mind again. Unconsciously, her gaze lingered on the other person’s lips.

She suddenly remembered how Ding Chen looked at her lips that night. Could it be that she looked the same way now?

Ding Chen first noticed that the movement on her ear was slowly stopping, but that hand showed no sign of leaving. Then she saw the number on Qiu Yanzhen’s head start to increase again. Her heart sank, and her first reaction was to look at the lower half of Qiu Yanzhen’s body, but before she could make a move, Qiu Yanzhen suddenly leaned closer to her.

The distance between the two suddenly shrank, their noses almost touching. Qiu Yanzhen paused at this distance, observing Ding Chen’s reaction. Ding Chen didn’t flinch, but she didn’t make any other moves either, as if she were petrified. After a few seconds, Qiu Yanzhen finally turned her head, closing the distance a bit more. Just when Ding Chen thought they were about to kiss, Qiu Yanzhen released her ear, wrapped her arms around her neck, and buried her face in it.

Ding Chen’s heart was racing violently; she was on the verge of breaking down from Qiu Yanzhen’s relentless advances over the past few minutes, feeling as if her entire body was about to catch fire. Suddenly, footsteps could be heard above them. A girl carrying books came down shortly after. Qiu Yanzhen buried her face even deeper, and Ding Chen didn’t dare to look to the side. The two of them froze in place until the footsteps faded away.

“Shouldn’t we head back to the classroom?” Ding Chen said nonchalantly.

Qiu Yanzhen didn’t respond but lifted her face. Ding Chen didn’t dare to look at Qiu Yanzhen’s expression; she just turned around and walked down the stairs. Qiu Yanzhen followed closely behind, and the two remained silent. However, after taking a few steps, Ding Chen was pulled back. Before she could turn around, Qiu Yanzhen wrapped her arms around her waist from behind and hugged her.

Then Ding Chen heard Qiu Yanzhen’s trembling voice beside her ear, saying, “I like you.”
