Sun Yi was completely flabbergasted!
Thrown away?!
That was a necklace worth over seventy thousand!
Once she snapped back to reality, she hurried after him, grabbing Wu Wei's hand and saying, "What are you doing!"
"If you don't want it, and I don't want it, then the only option is to throw it away!"
Wu Wei said this as if it were the most natural thing to do, and then he made a motion to toss it into the garbage bin.
"Are you crazy!"
Sun Yi panicked, quickly snatching the box from him.
"Give it to me."
Wu Wei turned and stretched his hand toward Sun Yi.
"No way!"
Sun Yi hid the box behind her back, pouting a little and looking at Wu Wei somewhat angrily.
But Wu Wei just smiled and said, "Didn't you say you didn't want it?"
Sun Yi said irritably, "That doesn't mean you can just throw it away!"
Wu Wei looked at her and asked, "So do you want it or not?"
Sun Yi suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
She certainly liked the necklace, but her personality and the education she had received from childhood made it impossible for her to accept it with a clear conscience.
Yet, if it were truly thrown away, she would feel incredibly reluctant to part with it.
Seeing Sun Yi's conflicted expression, Wu Wei slowly walked up to her and said softly, "Give it to me, don't worry, I won't throw it away."
"Really?"
Sun Yi asked with a mix of skepticism and hope.
"Really!"
Wu Wei nodded affirmatively.
Only then did Sun Yi let out a sigh of relief and handed the box over to Wu Wei.
Wu Wei took the box as if nothing had happened and said, "Let's go, show me around your school."
"Okay."
Sun Yi looked at her little electric scooter and asked, "Do you want to ride with me on it, or should I ride with you?"
"You ride with me."
Wu Wei said, his eyes revealing a meaningful smile.
"Alright."
Sun Yi sat on the scooter, with both feet planted on the ground, "Get on."
"Coming."
As he spoke, Wu Wei opened the box.
The next second, Sun Yi saw two hands holding the necklace suddenly drape it over her chest from above.
Was Wu Wei putting the necklace on her?!
"What are you doing?"
Sun Yi couldn't help but startle, quickly turning around to look at Wu Wei.
Wu Wei flashed her a wide smile, gently patted her head, his tone tender yet firm, "Don't move!"
Sun Yi's heart skipped a beat, and she found herself unable to muster the will to refuse.
She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, then obediently turned her head back, her heart pounding with a mix of nervousness and joy.
Wu Wei put the necklace on Sun Yi from behind, made a slight adjustment, and then gently teased her hair out from under the necklace.
At that moment, Sun Yi's ears blushed rapidly in front of Wu Wei's eyes.
Wu Wei's heart leapt with joy at the sight of those reddened earlobes and he nearly couldn't resist touching them.
After putting on the necklace, Wu Wei stepped in front of her.
"Now that I've put this necklace on you, you're not allowed to take it off today!"
Wu Wei spoke to Sun Yi with a somewhat domineering tone, "If you don't want it later, you don't have to give it back to me; just throw it away, or give it to someone else, whatever you want!"
After the initial incident, Sun Yi didn't refuse this time, but the blush on her ears quickly spread to her face.
Wu Wei sized her up overall.
Absolutely perfect!
The camisole dress that Sun Yi was wearing today beautifully exposed her neck, collarbones, and a bit of skin below, suiting the necklace even more than yesterday's outfit.
The necklace hung just below the collarbones, shining and sparkling in the sunlight.
"It looks good, really good!"
Wu Wei couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
The necklace looked great, but her neck and collarbones looked even better.
And the best looking of all was Sun Yi's currently blushing face.
The blush of a woman's face surpasses all the sweet nothings in the world.
And the blush on the face of a beautiful woman is more breathtaking than all the world's wonders combined.
Wu Wei found himself unable to take his eyes off her.
Furthermore, he noticed that although Sun Yi was still wearing light makeup today, the makeup was clearly more exquisite than yesterday's, suggesting she had put more effort into it.
That also meant she was becoming more concerned about him.
"Your makeup looks so good today!"
Wu Wei said, his eyes brimming with adoration.
Sun Yi, already bashful from his previous actions, now lowered her head even more.
At the same time, a sweet feeling welled up inside her.
She rarely wore makeup and wasn't particularly good at it; it had taken her over an hour to do today's makeup.
With Wu Wei's compliment, her entire morning's effort felt worthwhile.
[Sun Yi's favorability +3]
Seeing the favorability increase by 3 points, Wu Wei wasn't surprised.
After all, her face had already turned quite red.
"Let's go, show me the place where you've lived for eight years."
Wu Wei said as he sat down on the back seat of the small electric scooter.
"Okay."
Sun Yi twisted the throttle, and off they went.
Along the way, Sun Yi introduced each place to him, and also shared the bits and pieces of her life and studies here over the years.
"In our campus, it's all about medical studies, there isn't much scenic beauty now, but around November in autumn, when the gingko leaves on this road turn all yellow, it's especially beautiful!"
"Then let's come back for another stroll in the autumn."
"Sure, this is Building One, where we have our anatomy classes. Do you know what's inside that building over there?"
"What, lab mice?"
"No, it's full of our 'big body' teachers!"
"'Big body' teachers? What's that?"
"They're cadavers, we respectfully call them 'big body' teachers."
...
The two of them continued their tour, chatting as they went.
"Clang!"
Just then, the electric scooter hit a speed bump, jolting the vehicle sharply.
Wu Wei, not holding onto anything, was suddenly jostled to the side.
He quickly grabbed the back handle to steady himself.
It was at that moment a thought flashed through his mind.
With such a good opportunity, why on earth should I grab the handle?
So, he stretched his arms forward and embraced Sun Yi's slender waist directly.
Sun Yi didn't expect Wu Wei to suddenly hug her, and her body trembled violently!
The handlebars immediately skewed, veering toward the curb on the side of the road.
She quickly squeezed the brake to avoid an accident.
"Why did you hug me!"
Feeling Wu Wei's arms tightly wrapped around her waist, Sun Yi turned around, both embarrassed and startled, and said to Wu Wei.
This was the first time a boy had hugged her waist.
"I didn't do it on purpose."
Wu Wei calmly let go, feigning innocence: "The way it jolted just now, if I hadn't held onto you, I would've probably fallen off."
Sun Yi was momentarily at a loss for words at his explanation.
She had intended to ride between the speed bump and the curb without slowing down, which was why she didn't.
But limited by her biking skills, she missed the gap, resulting in the severe jolt.
So really, the incident could be blamed on herself.
"If it shakes again, just hold onto the back,"
Sun Yi said shyly, "don't hug my waist, my waist is a little... sensitive."
Sun Yi sat back down, twisted the throttle, and they continued on.
A little sensitive?
Sensitive in what way?
Wu Wei, recalling Sun Yi's almost spring-loaded reaction, had a pretty good idea.
That was more than a 'little' sensitive; it was extremely sensitive.
But of course, he wouldn't just stop hugging her!
Since he had already hugged her just now without a decrease in favorability, that indicated she didn't mind him hugging her waist.
Moreover, now that the favorability was at 63 points, it was time for some physical contact.
Besides, appropriate physical contact between the sexes can increase the emotional connection between two people!
Furthermore, his choice to let Sun Yi ride – with him sitting at the back – was not solely to put the necklace on her from behind.
He had already considered such a move beforehand.
So, of course, he had to continue!
