CHAPTER 168: CHAPTER 168 THE PRICE OF A KISS

I casually browsed a bookshelf, selected a book, and took a seat beside her, maintaining a respectable distance, of course.

Seated beside her were two men and four women.

This corner was a prime spot, crucially devoid of surveillance, and the quietest nook in the library.

I even heard rumors of people engaging in intimate activities in this corner.

The rumors were quite rampant at the time.

I pretended to search for a book on the bookshelf, deliberately making the sound of flipping through the pages louder, catching the attention of a few people nearby.

"Hey, handsome boy, could you please be a bit quieter while you are flipping through the book?" asked one of the attractive girls seated next to her.

I apologized and raised the book in my hand. "Sorry, I’m looking up some information."

I intentionally moved closer and asked Kelsey, "Hey, I’m a bit thirsty. Can I buy your coffee?"

Kelsey looked puzzled and a bit confused.

In my mind, I thought her acting was top-notch.

I pointed to the coffee in front of her. "Can I buy this one?"

"No, this is for my boyfriend. I specifically left it for him." Kelsey shook her head.

"Why don’t you ask me how much I’m willing to pay?"

Kelsey asked. "How much?"

I held up a finger, and Kelsey said, "Ten dollars?"

I shook my head, and she said, "One hundred dollars?"

I shook my head again.

"Are you offering a thousand dollars?"

Kelsey seemed a bit hesitant. She bit her lip. "Hey, even though you’re offering a high price, this is for my boyfriend."

I leaned in a bit closer and said, "How about this? You hand me the cup of coffee."

"Oh, I’ve already drunk from it!"

"So, what if you’ve drunk it? It won’t stop your boyfriend from drinking it!"

I coaxed, "I don’t care. Can you sell it to me?"

I leaned in closer and closer, reaching the point where I could see the fine hairs on her face. Her face slowly turned red. "But, but..."

I immediately took out a wad of cash from my pocket and slapped it on the table in front of her. "Now, this cup of coffee is mine!"

When I took it, I could see a faint lip gloss residue on the cup. "Hmm, something seems off."

She suddenly covered her face with both hands. "What’s wrong?"

"Isn’t this supposed to have a green lime flavor? How come I can taste peach?"

She exclaimed, almost burying her head on the table.

"Oh, I see. The lip gloss you’re wearing tastes like peach!"

I saw those two guys’ eyes almost shoot fire, murmuring under their breath. "Pervert!"

Those girls were also dumbfounded by my actions, staring in disbelief.

Kelsey remained silent. Her already rosy face was now even redder, and her eyes seemed to well up with tears.

I moved even closer. "I’ll be honest with you. I actually love the taste of peach the most. How about you let me have a taste? I’ll give you another thousand dollars!"

Kelsey shook her head. "No. I have a boyfriend!"

"It’s been so long, and your boyfriend still hasn’t shown up. You must be lying to me, right?"

I jokingly said, "How about I be your boyfriend?"

With that, I placed my hand on her leg.

She trembled slightly, but she didn’t stop me. Those two guys’ eyes were almost popping out.

"Hey, you’re out of line."

The pretty girl said, "Why do you force her? Can money really buy anything?"

I looked at her with curiosity. This girl had been reading with her head down the whole time, as if everything was unrelated to her.

I couldn’t help but laugh. "Sorry, money really can buy anything, and when both parties are willing, there is no force at all."

"You were indeed forcing her."

She closed her book and said to Kelsey, "Don’t be afraid. The more you fear someone like him, the more aggressive he becomes."

At this moment, Kelsey portrayed a look of utter helplessness to the extreme, but my hand didn’t stop, instead sliding along her smooth leg.

When my fingers brushed against them, tiny bumps appeared, and even her skin turned red.

Her body couldn’t help but tremble uncontrollably.

"Two thousand dollars. Can I have a taste of the lip gloss?"

"Shameless!"

The delicate girl’s face turned red. "How can this school have a scum like you?"

The girl’s words prompted two male students to echo, "Let go of that girl!"

I smirked. Not only did I not let go, but I also became even more audacious. I felt like a villain in a movie, and Kelsey was a target for bullying.

"Three thousand dollars. Let me have a taste, okay?"

"Don’t agree with him!"

The delicate girl was getting anxious.

"Four thousand dollars!"

I continued to raise the price.

When I shouted for five thousand dollars, Kelsey lifted her head and closed her eyes, looking as if she had resigned herself to her fate.

I felt deeply moved and learned indirectly.

I kissed Kelsey’s lips. The taste was wonderful.

The delicate girl fell silent, her face full of astonishment, and the two male students were skeptical.

But that was just how cruel reality was.

With money, you can pursue a goddess. Without money, you can only stare blankly. This is the first lesson I teach them before they enter society. After all, I am their senior.

I kissed her passionately, even making kissing sounds.

The delicate girl suddenly stood up. "Shameless! How could you do such a thing here?"

Apart from her angry expression, her classmates seemed to show a hint of anticipation, almost wishing they were Kelsey.

It was just a kiss, nothing extraordinary. Some people even enjoyed playing hide-and-seek outdoors.

Even more annoyingly, Kelsey started to hum, and the two male students were breathing heavily.

I was also feeling something, but since this was the library, I couldn’t be out of line.

I let her go, licked my lips, and looked at her with a smirk. Her legs were tightly closed, her hands were twisting her skirt, and her eyes reflected my figure.

"I really like your taste. Can you be my girlfriend?"

"Don’t agree with him. He’s just using his money to play with you!"

The delicate girl was getting anxious.

But Kelsey didn’t bother with her. She softly nodded.

The two male students were dumbfounded. I held Kelsey’s hand.
