This Bad Luck is Awesome!

While kissing her scorching red lips, Chen Mo cradled the back of her head with one hand and placed the other on her fair, straight, long legs.

The moment he touched her snow-white skin, a cool sensation spread through his hand.

He stroked it gently. The skin, fair with a rosy undertone, felt smooth and delicate to the touch.

Not a single flaw.

These were truly legs for days.

Chen Mo kissed Xia Shiqing’s tempting red lips, savoring the perfect feel of her fair, beautiful legs.

It was an impeccable, top-tier pleasure.

The instant Chen Mo’s hand landed, he felt Xia Shiqing’s delicate body tremble slightly.

Her tightly shut eyes instinctively flew open, meeting Chen Mo’s gaze at close range.

Xia Shiqing’s mind went blank as they stared at each other for a full ten seconds.

When she saw the trace of playfulness in his eyes...

...she subconsciously closed them again, her long, curved lashes beginning to flutter once more.

Just then, Chen Mo noticed that her already scorching lips had grown even hotter.

Even the temperature under his hand was rising rapidly.

Her skin grew warm to the touch.

’Definitely a rookie.’

Chen Mo became even more certain.

Don’t be fooled by Xia Shiqing’s usual goddess-like composure and her seemingly clear-headed way of talking about love.

Based on his two field tests, she was, without a doubt, a total rookie at romance.

She had never opened the door to this kind of intimacy before.

Now, he had only slightly upped the intensity, and it was already her limit.

’Xia Shiqing is the ultimate contrast!’

He was already starting to think about how he would tease her next.

...

Chen Mo drove to the parking lot of the restaurant he had booked.

After getting out of the car, Chen Mo took Xia Shiqing’s delicate hand, which was still a little hot, and led her toward the restaurant.

Guided by a waiter, they arrived at their reserved table.

Normally, people would sit facing each other.

But many couples choose to sit side by side.

Naturally, Chen Mo did the same, sitting down directly to Xia Shiqing’s right.

Meanwhile, Xia Shiqing was staring blankly at the tabletop.

"What’s wrong? Are you mad?"

Chen Mo casually placed his left hand on the fair thigh beside him and gave her a small smile.

"No, it’s just... I feel like it’s too fast."

Xia Shiqing shook her head and answered softly.

But a flicker of conflict and confusion crossed her beautiful eyes.

According to the information she had looked up, kissing last night was normal.

But some of the things Chen Mo had just done in the car didn’t seem to belong to this stage.

Based on what she’d read, that level of intimacy was supposed to come after a while longer.

But Chen Mo had fast-forwarded straight to this step.

She didn’t know whether to go along with Chen Mo or stick to the process she had researched.

"If your heart and body aren’t resisting, then it’s not too fast."

Chen Mo patiently instilled this idea in her.

Hearing this, Xia Shiqing nodded slightly, a thoughtful look passing through her eyes.

’Other than it being different from what I researched, I don’t seem to mind what Chen Mo is doing.’

After a while, the dishes they ordered were served.

Chen Mo and Xia Shiqing chatted as they ate.

Of course, Chen Mo was multitasking.

Besides eating and talking, his left hand never left Xia Shiqing’s smooth, long leg.

After all, wasn’t this the whole reason he’d chosen to sit to her right?

After dinner, Xia Shiqing seemed to have figured some things out, and her mood returned to normal.

"I want to get my hair done. Will you come with me?"

Xia Shiqing linked her arm with Chen Mo’s and said with a light smile.

"Of course. I wouldn’t feel at ease if you went to get your hair done alone."

Chen Mo immediately nodded in agreement, a serious expression on his face.

After all, there was that incident in the entertainment industry with someone who went to "get their hair done" alone...

"Don’t worry, I won’t."

Xia Shiqing covered her mouth with her right hand as she smiled, blinking her bright eyes and promising him in a sincere tone.

According to her online research, you’re supposed to give your partner a sense of security in a relationship.

Her mother had taught her to be faithful since she was a child.

Cheating and the like were what her mother hated most, so of course she would never do such a thing.

"Let’s go."

Chen Mo smiled and gave her a peck on the cheek.

He was just making a joke, referencing a meme, but he didn’t expect Xia Shiqing to take it so seriously and promise him like that.

Chen Mo suddenly found her a little cute.

...

Some time later, Chen Mo saw Mark again.

But this time, it seemed the light had gone out of Mark’s eyes.

When Mark saw Xia Shiqing walk into the salon, arm in arm with Chen Mo, his gaze instantly dimmed.

Although he had guessed that Chen Mo was Xia Shiqing’s boyfriend last time, a tiny sliver of hope had remained deep down.

But seeing how intimate they were, his heart died completely.

"Mr. Chen, Miss Xia, you’re here."

Mark forced a smile and welcomed them.

"I want to get my hair permed, and I’d like to..."

Xia Shiqing’s tone was flat. Without any extra words, she got straight to her ideas and requests.

When dealing with outsiders, she reverted to her usual goddess-like demeanor.

"Okay, no problem."

Mark was long accustomed to Xia Shiqing’s attitude.

"My phone’s dead. Let me use yours for a bit."

Chen Mo checked his phone and saw the battery was low, so he turned to Xia Shiqing.

Getting her hair done would definitely take a while.

Just sitting there and waiting without a phone to play with would be torture.

Hearing this, Xia Shiqing didn’t hesitate at all, generously handing him her phone.

She thought about how long it would take to do her hair, yet Chen Mo was willing to wait with her.

According to her online guides, this was a moment when she should give him some positive feedback.

She thought for a moment, then took the initiative to step closer to Chen Mo, rising slightly on her toes to give him a peck on the lips.

"The password is the date we got together."

After the kiss, Xia Shiqing gave him a charming smile and told him the password.

"OK."

Chen Mo smiled, took her phone, and went to sit in the waiting area.

Seeing this, Mark went completely numb.

’Actually,’ he wanted to say, ’the salon has chargers for every brand of phone.’

But looking at the scene before him, he chose to keep his mouth shut.

’I’m not gonna let you charge your phone!’

’Just let your phone die!’

’Serves you right for turning my goddess into this...’

Sitting in the waiting area, Chen Mo scrolled through short videos on his phone for a while.

When he saw his battery drop to just 20%, he decisively switched to Xia Shiqing’s phone.

’The date we got together?’

Chen Mo stroked his chin. ’Which day is she counting from?’

’Could it be the day I gave Ruisheng Pharmaceutical the key to their fortune?’

He thought for a moment, then entered a six-digit number.

"Incorrect password. 4 attempts remaining."

Seeing the error message, Chen Mo quickly figured it out.

’It must be the day we went to Disney.’

Chen Mo entered another six-digit password.

The phone then unlocked, revealing the home screen.

He swiped around a bit and saw that the apps Xia Shiqing had downloaded were somewhat different from his own.

It just goes to show that men and women really do use different apps.

For example, he didn’t have Xiaohongshu on his phone.

He scrolled through TikTok on her phone for a bit, only to find that most of the recommended content was about outfits, makeup, luxury goods, handbags, and styling.

Only the posts about finance, economics, and stocks were things he could stand to watch.

After scrolling for a while, he got bored.

He then opened Xiaohongshu, an app with a predominantly female user base.

He casually scrolled through the feed and found it was all posts about how to get along with a boyfriend during a relationship.

This was Xia Shiqing’s account, so the recommended content must be what she usually looked at.

Chen Mo tapped the "Me" button at the bottom and found she had saved some posts.

He clicked on one at random and saw the content—

It was about how long into a relationship you should wait to kiss, how long until you could touch legs and chests, and how long until you could sleep together...

’Interesting. A cyber-guided romance.’

Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn’t help but find it amusing.

’So Xia Shiqing’s entire approach to dating is based on internet searches.’

Then, Chen Mo discovered that Xia Shiqing had made a few posts of her own.

Curious, he opened the top one, which was the most recent.

It had been posted 20 minutes ago.

Meaning, Xia Shiqing had posted it from the passenger seat on their way from the restaurant to the salon.

And when Chen Mo merely glanced at the post’s title, he completely lost it.

The title of the post was—

"Is it normal for my boyfriend to touch my leg twenty-something days into the relationship?"
