Seeing Xu Yan perform these movements right in front of him, he couldn't help but steal glances at her from the corner of his eye.
He knew it; Xu Yan was definitely up to something.
Using the force from her hands on the floor, she suddenly engaged her core, her body snapping back up like a flexible snake.
Her legs traced a sharp arc in the air, her toes tapping lightly upon landing as she transitioned into a close-range floor spin.
Her long hair whipped around with the movement, sweeping across the floor before falling back onto her shoulders; the wind stirred by the tips of her hair seemed to carry a hint of provocation.
For the final move, she dropped to one knee, her body turned slightly, elbow resting on her knee and chin cupped in her palm as she stared intently at Jiang Cheng.
There was a hint of playfulness in the depths of her eyes.
She had an air of "let's see how long you can keep up this act."
Jiang Cheng's finger paused on the phone screen, almost causing him to tap the wrong skill button.
He withdrew his gaze and tapped the screen rapidly, muttering with feigned composure, "This little Support is pretty arrogant, daring to flaunt in front of me. Just watch me shove my spear in her face and wreck her! Does she even know how to play? Even the Red Buff got stolen..."
When he said this, Xu Yan couldn't help but flinch slightly.
She even let out an "Ah."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng curled his lips into a smile and intentionally stared at her. "What are you looking at?"
She had played the game before and knew that while there was such a character, how could it be such a coincidence?
Jiang Cheng was clearly talking about her.
Hearing this, Xu Yan pouted and rolled her eyes at Jiang Cheng. "I suspect you're being sarcastic toward me. Is it really such a coincidence?"
After speaking, Xu Yan stopped her movements and walked quickly toward Jiang Cheng.
She poked her head over, looking like she wanted to see which hero Jiang Cheng was playing.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Cheng felt a rare urge to be playful; he either held the phone up high or turned it face down.
He was intentionally acting like he wouldn't let her see.
"Why won't you let me see~ I want to see~~"
Xu Yan pouted and started trying to snatch it away.
Jiang Cheng was sitting while she was standing; during the struggle, their heights aligned perfectly.
Several times, Jiang Cheng almost bumped into the 'wall of tofu' in front of him.
In the final scramble, whether Xu Yan did it on purpose or just got caught up in the moment, she pressed both hands directly onto his shoulders.
She used both hands to firmly grab the hand Jiang Cheng was using to hold the phone, looking determined to get it.
She was making giggling and playful sounds.
To be honest, it was hard to tell if this Girl was just too airheaded or if she had absolutely no sense of self-protection around him.
Jiang Cheng's face was being pressed until it was slightly deformed, yet she was still laughing.
It was truly a bit unethical.
But Jiang Cheng wasn't the type to just let himself be oppressed.
As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance.
His face was being squeezed like this, and he wasn't going to fight back?
He wasn't some kind of pervert, right?
Thinking this, Jiang Cheng originally intended to pull away a bit and then loudly scold the Girl.
After all, he was a good man.
However, due to a clumsy maneuver, he didn't expect that when he leaned back, his entire face would be pressed right into Xu Yan.
With that pressure, his breathing was instantly obstructed.
So, Jiang Cheng immediately performed a standard subconscious self-rescue move for a guy.
That was to take a sharp, deep breath and then shake his head.
This resistance worked as expected.
Xu Yan's arrogant movements came to an abrupt halt.
After a muffled 'Mmph,' her body suddenly stiffened.
After a few seconds of paralysis, she recoiled as if she had been burned.
However, whether it was because it was too sudden or for some other reason...
She took only one step back before letting out an "Aiya" and crouching down.
This time, the two hands that had been on his shoulders moved to grab his thighs.
Her whole body slumped between Jiang Cheng's legs.
Jiang Cheng was sitting in a very standard male wide-legged posture.
Now that Xu Yan had slumped there, it was Jiang Cheng's turn to let out a muffled groan.
I say, Girl, does your reaction have to be this extreme?
Although Jiang Cheng admitted his previous action was suspicious of being intentional, this was a bit too much tit-for-tat.
"No way, your reaction is too much. Just because I took a 'bite' out of you, there's no need for you to 'bite' me back, right?"
After saying that, Jiang Cheng wanted to push Xu Yan away.
If this were in a private room, he might have just half-heartedly gone along with it.
But this is the dance studio, sister!
The door is still open!
Doing this seems a bit too deliberate!
If it weren't for Jiang Cheng having the Danger Perception Skill...
He would definitely have shouted: I'm calling the police! Hey! Girl!
However, he didn't expect that as soon as he pushed...
Xu Yan started shouting without any regard for decorum.
"Ahhh! Don't move, it hurts so much!!"
Huh?? Now Jiang Cheng was more than just bewildered!
"What do you mean? I didn't freaking hit you!! I didn't even touch you yet, and you're screaming into thin air??"
After a couple of moments, Xu Yan took a sharp breath.
She lifted her small face to look at Jiang Cheng.
Thin beads of sweat lined her forehead; one hand was deathly tight on his pants, while the other began clutching her calf.
Her body leaned slightly toward him, looking quite pitiful.
A voice tinged with a sob sounded in his ear: "It hurts... my leg is cramping!"
Jiang Cheng could only say that this cramp came at both the right and the wrong time.
It was honestly a bit ridiculous.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, suppressing the 'demon' on his thigh.
Then he leaned down to check Xu Yan's leg. "Which leg is cramping..."
With this movement, Xu Yan buried her head again.
She hissed a few times: "No, no, no, don't move. Every move hurts!"
"Can you stop hissing? If you're hurting, I'm in pain too!"
Hearing Jiang Cheng's somewhat complaining tone, Xu Yan's eyes instantly turned red.
Girls are like this; if your tone is even slightly heavy, they think you're blaming them.
"Why are you in pain? It's just my head resting on your thigh, isn't it? I'm the one who's hurting, okay? I'm in so much pain I can't stand up; any force I use is like a piercing pain..."
These words left Jiang Cheng unsure of how to explain.
He couldn't exactly tell her that the reason he was 'hurting' was because she was hissing against him.
Jiang Cheng looked around the empty dance studio.
Helplessly, he reached out and patted the top of her head.
In a comforting manner, he said, "Alright, alright. You're all grown up and still getting cramps. I think all that nutrition of yours has gone to places it shouldn't have..."
