Hmm?

Lucy widened her eyes and looked at him, "Why?"

Chen Cheng's lips curled into a smile, and he turned his head to tap her on the forehead, "Because your heart is too soft."

Chen Cheng's movement was too fast; Lucy didn't even have time to react. This gesture was a bit too intimate.

Upon realizing it, Lucy was somewhat like a little lioness that had triggered its defense mechanism, vigilantly protecting her chest with both hands, her tone full of warning, "What are you doing?"

Chen Cheng didn't answer her, leaned back into the driver's seat, and continued, "Being soft-hearted toward enemies won't get you anywhere."

Seeing him sit back, Lucy let out a sigh of relief.

Recalling that intimate gesture, a blush unconsciously appeared on her face again.

However, Chen Cheng's words left her unable to refute.

But she did not regret her decision just now.

Turning her head to look at Chen Cheng, she asked softly, "When did you find out about my situation?"

"The last time you used me to create a male competition."

Lucy's breath hitched; he knew she was using him.

But why hadn't he shown it for so long? He even invited her to the Company Name fundraising reception, giving her the opportunity to expand her network.

Lucy couldn't figure out the reason, but she still apologized, "I'm sorry."

Chen Cheng smiled, "No need. I'm generally very tolerant towards beautiful women."

As he spoke, he turned to look at her with an ambiguous gaze, "Especially beautiful women who like me."

Lucy's secret was exposed, and a blush immediately rushed to her face, "Who likes you? What nonsense are you spouting?"

Listening to her coquettish tone, Chen Cheng's lips curled slightly; it didn't matter if she didn't admit it.

Favorability won't lie. Even with Yu Chuhui, whom he knew so well, the favorability was only 80.

And for Lucy, a single song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" had already brought it to 78. If she said she didn't like him now, she was just lying to herself.

Chen Cheng extended his right hand in front of her, "Give me your hand?"

"Huh?" Lucy was a bit confused, but after thinking about it, she still reached out her hand.

Scum Cheng's lips curled slightly; he grasped it cleanly and decisively, interlocking their fingers.

For a long while, neither of them spoke. The air in the car seemed even quieter under the sound of the waves.

Lucy felt as if her heart was about to jump out, thumping wildly, her face like a ripe red apple.

[Ding~ Lucy's favorability +2]

Chen Cheng's lips curled slightly, but he didn't speak. He pressed a button to open the sunroof, then reclined the seat, finding a comfortable position to semi-lie down and look at the night sky.

The rain had stopped, and a few stars were still blinking in the night sky.

Lucy swallowed, lowered her seat back too, and found a comfortable position to lie down.

Chen Cheng fell into reminiscence and said softly:

"Suddenly remembered my childhood. Back then, my family was poor, and we didn't even have an electric fan. In summer, the room was hotter than outside, so I liked to take a bamboo mat and lie in the courtyard to watch the stars."

"While counting, I'd look for the brightest one..."

Lucy listened quietly as Chen Cheng told stories about catching fish and raiding bird nests in his childhood.

She grew up in Beijing and hadn't had such experiences, so she listened very intently.

"Behind my house was farmland, and in front of the yard was a small ditch. In midsummer, I could always hear the crickets calling in the rice fields..."

Lucy looked at the brightest star in the sky and suddenly said softly, "Chen Cheng, will you sing that song for me again?"

Chen Cheng was taken aback, "'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky'?"

"Mmh~" Lucy nodded.

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and began to sing:

"The brightest star in the night sky, can you hear clearly~"

"The loneliness and sighs in the hearts of those looking up~"

"..."

As he sang, Chen Cheng heard the sound of sniffing. He turned his head and saw Lucy secretly wiping away tears.

"..."

"The loneliness and sighs in the hearts of those looking up~"

After the song was finished, Lucy was already in tears.

Chen Cheng sat up and leaned over. Lucy immediately turned her head away in shyness.

How could Chen Cheng just let her go? He raised his hand to turn her face back and leaned down to kiss her.

The moment they touched, Lucy's eyes widened. She was so nervous that her tear glands stopped secreting.

Chen Cheng kissed with great patience, gradually deepening it bit by bit.

It started with a shallow touch, like testing, and also like comforting.

As Lucy's breathing gradually steadied, his kiss deepened, carrying a hint of irresistible tenderness.

Scum Cheng's breath, mixed with a faint scent of mint, lingered at the tip of her nose, making her involuntarily close her eyes and immerse herself in this tenderness.

Time seemed to stand still, with only their breathing intertwined.

Lucy still unconsciously wrapped her arms around Scum Cheng's neck and began to respond clumsily.

After a long while, feeling a bit suffocated, Scum Cheng finally let her go.

[Ding~ Lucy's favorability +3]

Chen Cheng lay back in the driver's seat, his lips curling up unconsciously; he had finally tasted Lucy's sexy lips.

Two words: delicious.

Lucy panted, trying hard to calm her palpitating emotions.

Chen Cheng lay on the seat, turned to look at Lucy, and said slowly, "Shall I give you a song I just thought of?"

Lucy was taken aback; was this song absolutely necessary?

"Okay!"

Chen Cheng swallowed the saliva he had just exchanged, cleared his throat, and began to sing:

"If you have too many complaints about this world~"

"And don't dare to keep moving forward after falling down~"

"..."

After the song "Rice Field Fragrance" was finished, Lucy exclaimed:

"I didn't believe that there were really geniuses in this world before."

That shameless Chen Cheng, with a proud face, said, "That's because you didn't meet me sooner."

"Pfft~"

Lucy was also amused by this shameless guy.

Afterwards, Scum Cheng didn't ask questions like "Do you like me now?", but kept recalling his childhood life in the countryside.

Lucy listened intently, and slowly, the two of them fell asleep holding hands under the starry sky.

Before dawn broke, Scum Cheng woke up with a start.

This dog of a person had a nightmare, dreaming that because he played with too many emotions, he ended up in hell.

King Yama said he would be punished and not allowed to reincarnate until he plowed ten thousand fields.

It wasn't about how big the number ten thousand was, but that this was the underworld! What kind of fields was he plowing?

Just thinking about it made Chen Cheng's back cold, and he woke up with a start.

Chen Cheng glanced outside and shrugged; the timing was just right.

The horizon was already turning red; sunrise was coming soon.

Turning to look at Lucy, who was sleeping in a slightly naive and cute way, he curled his lips into a doting smile. Without disturbing her, he gently opened the car door and got out.

He opened the trunk and folded down the rear seats.

Then he walked to the passenger side, opened the door, and reached out to carry Lucy down.

The moment Scum Cheng touched Lucy's skin, Lucy woke up.

She was a person who lacked a sense of security, had stress reactions, and was extremely vigilant.

Leaning in Chen Cheng's arms, she looked puzzled at Great Handsome Guy's charming jawline and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chen Cheng didn't answer her at first, walked a few steps to the trunk, and placed her in it.

Looking at the sky like burning clouds, Lucy immediately understood what Chen Cheng wanted to do, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Chen Cheng took a step and also sat into the trunk.

Watching Lucy intently gazing at that touch of red on the sea, Scum Cheng's hand naturally rested on Lucy's shoulder.

Lucy did not resist and even rubbed against Scum Cheng's shoulder.

Chen Cheng's lips curled slightly; sigh, this damn charm of mine.

The two of them waited quietly for the sunrise.

As time passed, the fiery red sun slowly rose.

Lucy looked at the sunrise on the horizon, recalling everything from last night.

A curve slowly formed at the corners of her mouth, and she let out a sigh of relief, as if a weight had been lifted.

Tears fell unconsciously. Hearing the dripping sound, Chen Cheng frowned, not knowing how to comfort her.

He leaned down and kissed her.

Slowly, his hands also started to get restless.

...

[Ding~ Lucy's favorability +5]

Hmm~ The great sun is so...

Oh, no, the sun is so beautiful.
