Even if she’s a beauty, I can’t just get beaten up for nothing—I’ll block it!

But maybe it was because the weather was so hot, and with only the two of them in the classroom, the two beauties were dressed casually. Through the gaps in their clothes, I caught a glimpse of snowy white skin. Whoa, what a feast for the eyes!

“All right, all right, Grace, he’s peeking at you!” Miss Emily Carter had sharp eyes and immediately caught my lecherous look.

“What? So all men are the same after all. Here, take a good look!” As she spoke, Grace Bennett gave her chest a hard pat. I thought she was just putting on a show, so naturally I refused to back down and lunged forward as well. Startled, we both lost our balance and ended up pressed together.

Although there were only two points of contact, they were the most electrifying highlights. Instinctively, I wrapped my arms around her as she lost her balance. I could feel that heat shooting from top to bottom. Before I could even savor the intimate thrill, I sprang away as if shocked by electricity. But as soon as I jumped back, I regretted it. Damn, if God gave me another chance, I’d never let go, not even if it killed me. The smooth feel of her slender waist, and her chest pressing against me through the thin fabric—what a challenge!

Grace Bennett was blushing furiously too, not expecting things to get real. But what was even more infuriating was that the first to pull away wasn’t her, but this big pervert—me!

Seeing the fuming Grace Bennett and Emily Carter laughing so hard she could barely breathe, I quickly waved my hands. “A gentleman uses his words, not his fists. Besides, every action has an equal reaction, so let’s just call it even.”

“What?” Grace Bennett could hardly believe her ears!

“Emily, did you hear that? He actually said we’re even. Shouldn’t we teach him a good lesson?” As she spoke, a strange glint flashed in Grace Bennett’s eyes. Seeing this, Emily Carter’s expression changed too, but then she suddenly smiled and said, “All right, all right, it wasn’t on purpose. Let’s just punish him by making him help us with our homework.”

Ugh, I came here to read a novel!

“Ladies, it’s lunchtime, shouldn’t you take a break? I’ll take a break too.” I pointed at the novel in my hand.

“You’re really bold, never learning your lesson. Be careful or the teacher will catch you,” Emily Carter said with a smile.

“Sigh, how can you get through the boring life of senior year without a little fun? Other people are all paired up, enjoying their own little worlds. I can only enjoy my spiritual world.”

“Ah, then why don’t you go find someone?”

“No, no, chasing girls is way too much trouble. I don’t have what it takes.”

“Really? I think you’re pretty slick with your words, and you even take advantage of people!” Grace Bennett, who couldn’t stand it anymore, shot back.

“It was an accident, purely an accident. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.”

“You—you want to do it again?!” The Beautiful Bennett put her hands on her hips, which only made her ample chest stand out even more—lucky for my eyes. And honestly, a beautiful woman angry has a special charm.

“All right, enough. You two never stop when you’re together. Grace, cut it out. We have to hand in this homework this afternoon!” Hearing about business, Grace Bennett finally let me off the hook.

The two girls started discussing their work again. Geez, there’s no need to be so serious. Just copy from someone who’s already finished. Honestly, just by paying attention in class, I can make it into the top three. Guys’ brains really are useful, especially in science.

They did their thing, I did mine. Looking at the male lead in the novel, now that’s a real man. If I had even half his skills, the first thing I’d do is win over these two in front of me. Then I’d have a “Xue’er” and a “Xiangzi,” and after that, I’d go to a kindergarten and reserve two little girls for the future. Tsk tsk, I’d be so happy I’d never want to go home.

Totally absorbed, I’d completely forgotten everything around me. Meanwhile, something strange was happening around Emily Carter and Grace Bennett. Even in the sweltering heat, there was a chill in the air.

Both of their gazes had a piercing intensity. They looked at me, then at each other, and after a moment, everything returned to normal, and the air seemed to flow again.

Achoo! Which beauty is thinking of me? Whatever, I couldn’t be bothered. I was just getting to the good part… and then—nothing. Damn, why did it end? Where’s the rest?

Sigh, if I’d known, I would’ve rented the whole thing. That’s the downside of speed reading—should’ve taken it slow. Checking the time, there’s still over an hour before class. I’m not interested in reading anymore. Looking outside at the blazing sun, I gave up on the idea of heading home. Glancing at the two beauties in front of me, I suddenly felt this wasn’t so bad after all.

To be honest, although we’ve been sitting front and back for half a year and are pretty familiar, this is the first time the three of us have been alone together. I’m someone who cares a lot about face—actually, I’m just stubborn. I really can’t shamelessly chase after a girl. Seeing so many “studs” fail before me, I lost my nerve. But ever since these two showed up, my standards have gone up, and ordinary girls just don’t catch my eye anymore. So I’ve muddled through another half year like this, and during this prime time for romance under the pressure of senior year, I’m one of the few single guys left.
