Villain: Without morals, you can’t be manipulated!

Chapter 33 Boiling a Frog Slowly

“Siling, don’t try to guilt-trip me. I’m not some saint. I just want to be a rich second-gen who eats, drinks, and waits to die.”

“As for letting Yu Chen off the hook? That’s impossible. If I don’t teach him a lesson, how else is he supposed to grow up? Do you want him to stay a hot-headed fool for the rest of his life?”

“So, really, when I kiss you, I’m not doing something bad—I’m actually helping him, aren’t I?”

Qi Lin grinned mischievously and patted the passenger seat beside him. Wang Siling’s beautiful eyes flashed with despair, but she had no choice.

She obediently walked to the passenger seat, opened the car door, and sat inside.

“I won’t say I’m heartless, so today, I’ll give you a special discount.”

“If I kiss you, each kiss will only deduct 100 yuan from your debt.”

“But if you kiss me voluntarily, I’ll deduct 500 yuan per kiss. What do you think?”

Qi Lin played with Wang Siling’s delicate, smooth fingers, watching her reaction. Hearing Qi Lin’s offer, Wang Siling’s eyes widened in surprise before a blush crept onto her face.

Honestly, if she had to let Qi Lin kiss her four times a day for a whole month to repay her debt, she’d probably go insane. But if she kissed Qi Lin first, she could clear her debt in just 24 kisses?

“Qi Lin Gege, do you really mean it?”

For the first time, Wang Siling’s tone sounded a bit cheerful, like a true 16-year-old girl instead of someone who had lost all hope.

“Of course. If you don’t believe me, I can write it on the IOU.”

Qi Lin pointed at the debt note.

This time, Wang Siling was genuinely tempted.

Ignoring her shyness, before Qi Lin could react.

“Smack!”

She planted a kiss on his cheek.

“Qi Lin Gege, I kissed you voluntarily! You said it yourself—now I get 500 yuan off my debt!”

She quickly wiped her lips and declared proudly.

Qi Lin blinked.

“Wait a second—did you misunderstand? I meant a real kiss, not just on the cheek!”

“Giggle~ That’s not my problem. You were the one who said if I kissed you first, it would count. You never specified whether it had to be on the lips or not.”

Wang Siling covered her mouth, laughing triumphantly, a sly glint in her beautiful eyes. For once, she had tricked Qi Lin instead of the other way around.

Satisfaction achieved!

“Sigh… I spent all day hunting wild geese, only to have one peck my eye out at the end.”

“Fine, since you found a loophole, I’ll deduct 500 yuan.”

Qi Lin sighed and marked five checkmarks on the IOU.

“Yay~!”

After two days of gloom, Wang Siling finally smiled like a blooming flower, looking absolutely adorable. But she didn’t notice the meaningful smirk on Qi Lin’s lips. This was all part of his trap. He had deliberately left this loophole open. He had deliberately written those checkmarks. Boiling a frog slowly.

As long as he gradually broke down her defenses, she would eventually see kissing him as something natural—even a bargain. Once that happened, even when her debt was fully repaid, Qi Lin would still be able to do whatever he wanted to her, and she wouldn’t resist.

Why?

Because the mental barrier she once held firm had already been broken. And of course, the one who shattered her defenses was Qi Lin. The only person allowed to kiss her—was Qi Lin.

Even if that fool Yu Chen asked for the same thing, she would refuse him outright. This was the long-term trap Qi Lin had set. There was no denying it—this guy’s mind was deep as hell. Poor, naïve Wang Siling never even saw it coming.

“Alright, this time only kissing on the lips counts. Hurry up.”

Qi Lin leaned in closer to Wang Siling.

Just moments ago, she had been laughing proudly—but now, she was so shy and nervous that she gripped the hem of her skirt tightly. Getting kissed and kissing someone voluntarily were two completely different things.

But if she wanted to clear her debt, she had no choice but to push through her mental hurdle. Finally, Wang Siling closed her beautiful eyes, her long lashes trembling, and her soft lips pressed against his.

“Mmm~”

She was completely clueless about what to do next.

“This doesn’t count,” Qi Lin muttered against her lips, “Weren’t you paying attention yesterday? Try copying what I did.”

At that moment, Wang Siling gave up.

Scenes from yesterday flashed through her mind. And with that, she slowly began to step into a whole new world.

Meanwhile…

“Damn it, I’m such an idiot!”

“Just because Siling scolded me, I ran off like a coward and left her behind.”

“What if something happens to her?”

Yu Chen had barely run a few blocks before he regretted everything. He hadn’t realized that Wang Siling had pushed him away on purpose, but he knew that as a man, he shouldn’t have abandoned the girl he loved. However, he didn’t rush back immediately.

“Siling might not listen to me… but she’ll definitely listen to her brother.”

“I need to tell Wang Cheng right now!”

Yu Chen clenched his fists and sprinted toward Wang Cheng’s classroom.

“Cheng Ge! Siling was taken away by Qi Lin from your class!”

As soon as Yu Chen saw Wang Cheng stepping out of the classroom, he frantically blocked his path.

“What?”

Hearing that Qi Lin had taken his sister, Wang Cheng’s face filled with shock. Qi Lin had only transferred to their school recently. He barely knew anyone.

So how did he even know Wang Siling?

Could it be…

That this was revenge for reporting him earlier!
