Tang Xin's voice was as soft as cotton, which could even make the birds outside the window feel overwhelmed with sweetness. However, to me, it sounded like a cold wind blowing from Siberia. My body shivered, my hairs stood on end, and I didn't dare to move.
"...What is the problem, Chairman?" I swallowed, and the smile on my face was probably uglier than a ghost. I tried to calm myself down, continually reminding myself to stay calm.
"Hehe, Vice-Chairman, why are you so nervous?" Tang Xin's smile was like a touch of honey in the warm sunlight, striking my heart directly.
It was the kind of spine-chilling feeling.
Tang Xin stopped massaging my shoulders. Just as I was relieved, my neck suddenly felt cold, and her soft boneless hand gently wrapped around my neck. Her face, which was already close to mine, leaned even closer, pressing against my ear through her hair. The unique scent of a young girl instantly rushed to the tip of my nose.
Tang Xin's sudden action made my body tense up like a fish out of water, my brain completely petrified.
What kind of act is this?
"Vice-Chairman, you haven't answered my question yet." Tang Xin's warm breath sprayed on my face, "What do you think of love letters?"
How am I supposed to speak in this current state?! And if someone suddenly walked in now, I would die right here, in the arms of this femme fatale!
History has taught us time and again never to trust anyone who is beautiful. Survival shows have told us not to eat brightly colored wild fruits or touch colorful insects in the wild. Because their beautiful appearance is their natural disguise, the perfect evolution of living beings. They will wait until you are infatuated with their appearance and then devour you in one fell swoop.
"Knock knock."
Right as I was trying to calm down with the theory of biological evolution, the door of the Student Union room was knocked upon.
Gasping for air. The knock on the door sucked every ounce of oxygen from my stomach, and I had to take deep breaths to avoid passing out.
"Um, Chairman...?" I trembled as I lightly tapped the hand that was wrapped around my neck, signaling her to leave quickly.
But I didn't see the sly smile on her lips.
"Do you mean holding tighter? Alright~" As Tang Xin said that, her grip around me tightened, almost suffocating me and making it impossible to say anything.
"Come in." Tang Xin raised her voice slightly and called to the person at the door, signaling them to enter.
Her sudden action almost made me wet my pants. Desperately trying to cover my face at the last moment, I struggled in vain.
It's too late.
"Tang Xin, I-" The boy who entered the room probably didn't expect to see such a scene. He stared at us, frozen in place like a broken wooden stick.
He glanced at Tang Xin, who was smiling sweetly, and then turned his eyes to me. Our eyes met, and we exchanged awkward looks.
Ah, none of it matters anymore. I just want to die. I had given up struggling and lay limply in Tang Xin's arms, probably looking like Stephen Hawking.
If you can't resist, enjoy it. In a sense, this is the ultimate truth.
"Um, well, I don't know, uh, sorry for disturbing you." The boy at the door finally came to his senses, speaking incoherently. He bowed to us, forgot to close the door, and ran away as if he were escaping.
Tang Xin slowly released my neck, looking at the door with a smile that seemed to have resolved some trouble. She went back to her desk, took out an envelope, tore it into pieces, and threw it into the trash can.
By this point, I had completely understood what was going on. Indeed, she was a woman full of cunning tricks.
"You never thought about my personal safety?" I glanced at her, moving my neck, and the scent of Tang Xin still lingering on the part of my neck she had embraced made my face slightly hot.
This wicked woman had used me as a shield again.
"I will burn incense for you." Tang Xin took a sip of her coffee, licking her lips seductively, but her words were incredibly outrageous.
Why did I ever get involved with her in the first place? As I thought about it, I secretly punched my own thigh."You haven't answered my question yet, the one from just now."
"Which one?"
"The one about the love letter."
After I knew that this question was not for me, I felt a lot calmer inside.
"It's someone else's entire courage, isn't it too much for you to do this?" I pointed at the envelope that had just been torn off by her and thrown into the trash.
Tearing it up directly was too much, at least she should have rejected it properly. But thinking of Wu Yaoyao, who was crying like a pear blossom in the rain yesterday, I became somewhat guilty.
"It's all the same result, isn't it better to save some energy? If you received twenty-five letters a month, you would understand my feelings." Tang Xin said, tapping her fingers on her forehead, her face wearing an expression of helplessness. Then suddenly she changed the topic and spoke with sarcasm, "Oh, right, how could our Vice-Chairman possibly receive love letters. It's a bit too difficult for you to understand my feelings."
After finishing, her expression was still filled with affectation and regret.
But I did receive one, right?! I was confessed to yesterday, and there's still a letter in my bag today! You insolent woman, stop underestimating me!
Although I really wanted to say this to Tang Xin, my reason held me back.
"After all, other than me, which girl would have such bad taste?" Tang Xin winked at me with her blue eyes.
In any case, I shouldn't believe a single word said by this white-haired female embodiment of a treacherous snake. I pursed my lips and ignored her.
"Alright, today's tasks are completed. I'll leave the remaining work to you." Tang Xin walked over, bent down, and helped me fix my collar. Her delicate face was less than five centimeters from mine.
"Are you pushing the work onto me again?" I pouted, trying to show my dissatisfaction. Her unguarded collar revealed a large area of spring colors, making it difficult for me to find a place to rest my eyes.
"There's a dinner party at home tonight, I'm helpless too. This is today's reward~" Tang Xin sighed softly and said, then without waiting for my reaction, she walked out of the Student Union office like the wind.
This annoying woman is always like this, too good at using her own advantages - ahem, I mean, too despicable. Making me do two people's work alone every single time.
I took a deep breath to calm myself down. Then I touched the letter in my bag.
I stood up and closed the door.
Checking the time, the disciplinary committee members weren't due back from patrol yet.
I wiped my sweaty palms, carefully took out that letter from the drawer and today's bag.
Yes, the style of this envelope, which looked rich in traditional culture, was definitely not Wu Yaoyao's. After observing it several times, I came to this conclusion.
I sneaked out a paper cutter like a thief, and cut open the letter along the edge.
I reached in and pulled out the letter paper inside. The paper was slightly yellow, and didn't seem like something you could buy in an ordinary stationery store.
I unfolded the letter, and the beautiful handwriting on par with calligraphy competition leaped onto the paper.
"Dear BaiQiao:
If you have time after school, can you come to the street heart cafe?
Ning Yi."
