This woman... she was doing it on purpose!
From the moment she emerged from the crowd and bumped into me, it was all an act!
I don't know how she managed to locate me amidst the sea of people, but with that level of search capability, it’s no wonder she’s a stalker.
But honestly, it doesn’t seem to be a bad thing for me...
Or rather, should I consider it a perk?
After all, a girl’s body is naturally soft, and Lan Hua’s body, in particular, is as soft as a water-soaked sponge — heavy and pliant, pressing against me as though molded to fit.
I clasped both hands behind my back, pressing them against my spine, using my back to pin down my mischievous left and right hands. If I didn’t do this, those two disobedient little things would undoubtedly start wandering off on their own.
Phew... Calm down. Stay composed, and distracting thoughts will naturally fade away.
Even though Lan Hua is pressed against my body, perhaps because we’re separated by clothes or because I’m not particularly close to her, I feel like I can still maintain control over myself.
Stay calm. If I can just hold out until the next stop...
But while I was trying to steady myself, Lan Hua was far from done with her antics!
Lan Hua seemed to be attempting to prop herself up again, pressing her forearm against the glass panel next to my shoulder, puffing out her cheeks as she arched her back. The two soft mounds pressed against my chest regained their shape, and as she tried to move away, her body, still sticking to mine, only barely separated.
Because the space was so cramped, her body remained in contact with mine in several places. Especially those soft breasts, which seemed unwilling to part from me, squashing and rebounding, squashing and rebounding, like a water balloon being slapped and then springing back to shape...
This is way too suggestive!
Do you even want to move away or not? You’re making it seem like you’re doing some sort of bizarre massage with those...!
“T-That, Juncheng? Could you give me a hand? It seems like I can’t manage it on my own...”
After struggling for a while and realizing that she couldn’t create enough space by herself, Lan Hua finally turned to me for assistance.
I didn’t immediately agree. Instead, I took a moment to observe her carefully.
Her cheeks were flushed, beads of sweat trickling down her forehead, sliding along her cheeks and dripping down her jawline before disappearing into her collar. She was panting in short, rapid breaths, her warm, damp breaths puffing against my cheek, forming a subtle mist.
Hmm... I couldn’t detect any obvious signs of deception. She did look like she was genuinely struggling and a bit drained.
That’s a completely normal reaction.
Besides, watching a girl strain herself like that while I, a grown man, just stand here enjoying the accidental benefits... Wouldn’t that make me a complete scumbag?
Alright then, I’ll help her. But how exactly am I supposed to help in this situation?
“Fine... But even if you want me to help, how do you expect me to do that?”
“Um, just push against my stomach. That should do it!”
As soon as I agreed, Lan Hua’s face lit up with a radiant smile, and she quickly suggested a compromise. I couldn’t shake the feeling that she had this plan all worked out beforehand... Am I just walking straight into a trap she set for me?
“My stomach...?”
“Yes, just there!”
If it’s just her stomach, that shouldn’t be a big deal.
It’s relatively safe, after all.
So, after a brief hesitation, I pulled my hands from behind my back, preparing to give her a push.
But instead of pressing my palms against her stomach, I positioned my hands as though we were dancing, placing them on her waist and firmly pushing her backward. Gradually, the contact between our bodies lessened until there was barely any. The suffocating sensation finally dissipated.
Though my arms ached a bit, there were only about ten minutes left until the next stop. I could probably endure it.
Then... when I looked at Lan Hua again, her expression wasn’t one of relief. Instead, she looked utterly shocked, as if something had gone terribly wrong.
When she noticed me watching, she hastily smoothed over her expression, forcing a strained smile as she thanked me.
But even I could tell — that smile was as stiff as a corpse. It was a smile forcibly squeezed out.
Oh? You got what you wanted, a little bit of distance, but now you’re looking like, “How did it come to this?”
I did mention before — I’m stronger than I look. Maybe I’m not as monstrous as Lillian in terms of brute strength, but I’m still stronger than your average high school boy. After all, I do take care of my health quite diligently.
Hmph, bet you didn’t see that coming, huh? Sorry to disappoint you, Miss Stalker, but your little scheme just fell apart! Now why don’t you quit your obscene behavior and go home like a good girl?
For some reason, a sense of smug satisfaction welled up inside me.
It took me a moment to figure out why I felt so pleased. It was because, for once, I actually had the upper hand in a situation involving a girl.
But that self-satisfaction didn’t last long.
Suddenly, I felt a tremendous pressure, a force that exerted considerable strain on my arms.
No, wait — this isn’t coming from the crowd!
I took a closer look and found Lan Hua puffing out her cheeks in defiance, pushing against me again. My palms could feel the slight firmness of her muscles as she exerted herself. But she wasn’t pushing against the crowd; she was pushing against me.
What the hell are you trying to do now?!
Is she just going to go all out?!
Nghh...! No way! I won’t back down that easily...!
I clenched my teeth and pushed back with all my strength, determined to resist her pressure.
The next second, I saw it — a sly, almost triumphant smile spreading across her face.
Wait, this turn of events...!
An ominous feeling welled up inside me, and as I tried to ease my strength, she suddenly twisted her body and leaned to the side, causing my hands to slip off her waist.
And with my support gone, I fell straight into her waiting embrace.
Checkmate!
But! There’s still a chance!
In that instant, it was as if I foresaw what was about to happen. Without thinking, I swiftly raised my right hand and covered my mouth.
The next second, just as I predicted, Lan Hua, having lost her balance, lunged forward again. Her chest — unmistakably — slammed into me, followed by her face.
Her soft lips landed on... the back of my hand!
Perfect timing!
A surge of relief washed over me as I mentally patted myself on the back for my lightning-fast reaction.
If she had managed to kiss my lips during that collision, something that was initially a mere accident would have instantly become something far more significant. If that had happened, things would have spiraled out of control.
Her eyes were right in front of mine, her nose brushing against mine, and our lips were only separated by the width of my hand.
Lan Hua’s gaze was filled with shock. If I were in her shoes, I’d probably be just as stunned.
After all, in a situation like that, the odds of a "kiss due to accidental collision" were as good as guaranteed. But my intervention had prevented it from happening.
Heh heh heh, how about that? Didn’t see that coming, did you?
Next, Lan Hua’s expression changed dramatically, almost like a silent movie unfolding across her face — shock → confusion → bewilderment → frustration → determination. It was as if flames ignited in her eyes, and I could almost hear her mentally chanting, “I can’t give up yet! Just a little more effort, and I can get closer to Juncheng!”
It wasn’t the time to celebrate yet! Lan Hua hadn’t given up!
No, far from it — it was as if she had been fueled by a second wind!
Argh... why hasn’t the train arrived yet? This station is taking forever!
While I was silently panicking, Lan Hua began her next move. Her lips were still pressed against the back of my hand, but now her tongue slipped out, spreading her saliva across my skin.
The pink title above her head glowed intensely, causing me to reflexively squint.
Her eyes... her eyes were no longer right. They were the eyes of someone utterly captivated, just like how Lillian looked when she saw a zombie — a look of fervent obsession!
“Mmm, mmm mmm!”
“Hehehe... hehehehehe...”
That lewd, sleazy laugh again... Oh god, this girl is a total degenerate...
So she’s not even going to pretend anymore? Forget modesty, restraint, or self-control. It’s as if she had just thrown off all her shackles, letting her desires run wild.
Wait, hey, down there! Don’t push your leg up there! That’s my...! You’re crushing my...!
In desperation, I smacked her back with my left hand, signaling my silent protest and disapproval.
Lan Hua seemed to have received my message. She leaned closer to my ear, licking my earlobe as she whispered seductively.
“What’s wrong, Juncheng? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Ahh, I get it. You’re pressed against the door, so it must be hurting your back, right? Let me cushion you a little... hehehe... hehehehe...”
Finally, her lips moved away from the back of my hand, but ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ I didn’t dare lower it. I had a gut feeling that if I did, she would pounce on me like a ravenous wolf!
Lan Hua tried to wipe the drool from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, but more saliva kept leaking out, dribbling down her chin.
She couldn’t stop it. It was as if she couldn’t contain her desire to devour me — and I mean that in the most predatory sense possible.
Hot breaths, drooling mouth, dazed eyes... She looked just like those girls in R18 manga who were completely swept up in the throes of passion. I used to think those portrayals were exaggerated, but now, looking at Lan Hua, they didn’t seem exaggerated at all.
And then, as if she couldn’t resist any longer, Lan Hua slipped her hand behind my back and started sliding it downward...
“Mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm?!”
This... this woman is groping me!
Whoa, stop squeezing my butt! What the hell is wrong with you?!
“Oh, it’s just that... I saw someone trying to reach into your back pocket, so I was just...”
Do you really think I’m going to believe that? There’s nothing in my back pocket! And even if there was, I’d rather someone steal from me than have you groping my butt like that!
Ugh... Last night, was this how Snowy felt...?
No, it must have been even worse. After all, I actually touched her bare skin last night, and my hands went way deeper than this... cough, cough...
Ugh, my conscience is killing me...
So, this is how it feels to be toyed with... And to be toyed with like this by a girl of my own age... It’s humiliating!
The worst part? It’s happening in front of all these people!
Some of them were already staring at us, their gazes filled with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion. This is beyond embarrassing!
But... why is there a tiny part of me that feels... excited? No! That’s definitely a mistake!
Now that I think about it, in anime, these kinds of situations usually play out with the female protagonist blushing shyly, leaning against a door, while the male protagonist struggles to maintain control, eventually giving in and embracing her. Then they both blush and look away, sharing a moment of awkward tension...
But right now, everything is completely reversed!
Not only have the roles been swapped, but the entire event has taken a complete 180-degree turn!
What was supposed to be a sweet, ambiguous moment has transformed into this dangerously perverse scene!
I mean, sure, I like touching girls, but that doesn’t mean I want to be touched by a girl like this! What kind of twisted pervert is she?!
There’s a female predator molesting me here!
Can I call the police for help?!
Please, hurry up and arrive at the next station, you damned train!
Why does ten minutes feel like an eternity right now?!
I can’t take it anymore!
I’m going to lose it...!
