This Bad Luck is Awesome!

That evening, Chen Mo was in his gaming room, playing a game.

He’d been playing a lot of Valorant lately.

He felt like all the younger guys in Valorant were thirsty as hell.

The moment they saw a female player, they’d start simping, no matter how bad she was. And they’d enjoy every second of it.

It got to the point where he couldn’t help but turn on his mic to flame them, only to get immediately hit by his own teammates’ damaging abilities.

His only advice to them was to go to a massage parlor or something. It would open up a whole new world for them.

Then again, Chen Mo only knew about this stuff from Old Zhang. He never went to those places himself.

After the match ended, he stared at the defeat screen and couldn’t help but shake his head.

Back in high school and college, his reaction time, hand speed, and strategic thinking were all top-tier.

Gaming came to him like second nature, and his mechanics were insane.

He could dominate even on a trash computer with high ping.

Now, just over a year after graduation, he felt like he’d declined in every aspect.

’It’s true what they say. Once you finally get a computer that doesn’t lag, you find that you’ve started to lag yourself.’

Chen Mo gazed at his computer screen, feeling a sudden wave of sentimentality.

DING~

"Have you had dinner yet?"

His phone buzzed. Chen Mo picked it up and saw it was a WeChat message from Xia Shiqing.

"Already ate. You?"

Chen Mo typed quickly.

"I’ve eaten too."

"I bought a new lipstick today. Do you think it looks good?"

Xia Shiqing sent a photo—a selfie of her wearing the new lipstick.

Her beautiful red lips looked very alluring.

"Looks great. Hurry over and let me give you a kiss."

Chen Mo blinked, a smile on his face as he sent the message.

"Okay."

Xia Shiqing replied with a kissing emoji.

Chen Mo shook his head. ’So insincere,’ he thought.

He put his phone down and started another match.

Twenty-some minutes later, the enemy’s base exploded.

A smooth victory.

"I’m downstairs at your place. [Photo.JPG]"

Chen Mo had just picked up his phone when he saw the message from Xia Shiqing.

There was also a photo taken downstairs, clearly showing the building number of his apartment complex.

’She actually came?’

Chen Mo took off his headset, a look of surprise on his face.

He had just been kidding around, not expecting Xia Shiqing to actually take him seriously.

And now she was right downstairs.

’She’s a keeper,’ he thought.

"Wait right there. I’m coming down to get you."

Chen Mo typed as he walked out the door.

Two and a half minutes later, Chen Mo stepped out of the elevator and saw Xia Shiqing standing gracefully by the entrance to the lobby.

Xia Shiqing hadn’t noticed him come down. She was holding a small compact mirror in her left hand and a tube of lipstick in her right, gently applying it as she looked at her reflection.

"You don’t need to put on any more. You’re already beautiful."

Chen Mo walked up to her, offering a sincere compliment as he gazed at her delicate features.

Every time he saw Xia Shiqing’s face, he couldn’t help but be struck by her beauty.

Today, she was wearing a pink silk blouse paired with a white pencil skirt and a pair of white high heels.

It was a beautiful outfit that suited her professional, commuter style perfectly.

The pearl necklace around her neck added an extra touch of elegance.

"Thank you."

Seeing that he’d come down, Xia Shiqing smiled and put the mirror and lipstick back in her purse.

Once her things were put away, she held her purse and fixed her limpid, beautiful eyes on Chen Mo.

She blinked, looking at Chen Mo with a generous, open expression as she said, "I’m here."

Chen Mo had asked her to come over for a kiss, and she figured that as his girlfriend, it was the proper thing to do.

They had been ’dating’ for two or three weeks. According to her logic and the information she’d looked up online, they had reached the kissing stage.

So, she came.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful face and limpid eyes before him...

Chen Mo stepped forward, wrapped his right arm around Xia Shiqing’s slender waist, and pulled her into his embrace.

’She listened to me and delivered herself right to my doorstep for a smooch. So why hesitate?’

Xia Shiqing didn’t struggle as he pulled her into his arms. She simply tilted her head up slightly, her limpid eyes gazing at Chen Mo.

Her bright eyes were clean and pure.

"That lipstick color looks great on you. Let me see how it tastes."

Chen Mo murmured, looking into her eyes, then cupped the back of her head with his left hand.

He lowered his head slightly and pressed his lips against her alluring, slightly parted red lips.

Unlike her cool little hands, Xia Shiqing’s lips were scorching hot.

The moment their lips touched, Chen Mo’s head was spinning.

He forgot that they were in the building lobby, where neighbors from the building could come and go at any time.

In any case, he was completely lost in that sweet kiss.

BOOM!

The second Chen Mo kissed her, Xia Shiqing’s mind went completely blank.

Her eyes widened, the light seemed to drain from them, and her entire body seemed to freeze up as if she had crashed.

She had originally thought it was just a touch of the lips, nothing to make a fuss about.

But the sensation was completely different from what she had imagined!

A full three minutes passed before he finally released his hand from the back of Xia Shiqing’s head.

After their lips parted, Chen Mo noticed that Xia Shiqing seemed completely dazed.

Her eyes seemed unfocused, and her curved eyelashes trembled from time to time, making her look adorably dumbfounded.

And at some point, her hands had wrapped around his waist, and she still hadn’t let go.

’What’s with this contrast?’

Watching Xia Shiqing’s dazed expression, Chen Mo suddenly had a thought.

Although Xia Shiqing always acted so composed, as if nothing could faze her...

Even when he’d told her to come over for a kiss, she had shown up calmly and gracefully without a second thought.

...at the end of the day, she was still a total noob who had never been in a relationship.

You couldn’t tell normally.

But as soon as he turned up the heat and kissed her for a few minutes, she was completely out of it.

Chen Mo was sure of it: she definitely had that cute contrast going on.

Originally, Chen Mo’s feelings for her were driven more by a desire to conquer.

But now, a desire to ’train’ her had been added to the mix.

After all, who doesn’t love a little contrast?

After being held in Chen Mo’s arms for several dozen seconds, the light finally returned to Xia Shiqing’s eyes.

She blinked, her eyelashes fluttering a few times.

She felt like her mind had been a complete blank, unable to remember a thing.

"Are you done kissing me?"

Xia Shiqing asked softly.

"Want to go upstairs and continue?"

Chen Mo smiled, extending an invitation with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"If I go up, will you even let me leave? Maybe next time."

Xia Shiqing, now fully recovered, smiled and shook her head.

According to the dating guides she’d read online, it wasn’t time to go all the way yet.

Chen Mo couldn’t help but feel it was a pity. He should have taken her upstairs while she was still dazed.

"It’s getting late. I should head back now."

The two chatted for a little while longer before Xia Shiqing checked the time and said she had to leave.

However, just as she turned to go, Chen Mo pulled her back into his arms.

Before she could react, Chen Mo was kissing her again.

He wouldn’t comment on whether the lipstick looked good or not.

But it certainly tasted nice.

...

Xia Shiqing walked out of the apartment complex, opened her car door, and sat in the driver’s seat.

She checked herself in the mirror and found that her lips had returned to their natural color.

The lipstick she had applied earlier was gone.

She leaned back against the seat, replaying the two kisses in her mind.

’Didn’t they say kissing is like being gnawed on by a dog? That there’s no real feeling to it? Why does this seem different?’

A confused expression appeared on Xia Shiqing’s face. She took out her phone, opened Xiaohongshu, and began to search.

After Xia Shiqing left, Chen Mo hummed a little tune as he stepped into the elevator.

Just as the elevator doors were closing, a man hurried in. He saw Chen Mo and immediately gave him an envious look.

"Bro, your girlfriend is gorgeous."

He had just been passing by on his way to throw out the trash when he saw the two of them wrapped up in each other’s arms, making out like no one was watching.

He had originally planned to just watch the show, but after seeing Xia Shiqing’s face, he became incredibly envious of Chen Mo.

He’d trade a mansion and a luxury car for a girlfriend with her looks and figure in a heartbeat.

"She’s alright, I guess. A little bit of a looker, that’s all."

Chen Mo nodded humbly.

「The night passed without incident.」

The next morning, after his disciplined workout and a quick breakfast, Chen Mo headed out.

He took a taxi straight to the Porsche dealership where he had an appointment with a salesman.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance, the salesman he’d been in contact with came up to greet him.

He was a man of about thirty, dressed in a suit with a polite smile on his face.

"Mr. Chen, you mentioned the configuration you wanted before. Our dealership happens to have a vehicle that meets your requirements."

"The body color is different, but we can change that later with a car wrap."

"Would you like to take a look?"

The salesman smiled politely at Chen Mo.

"Sure."

Chen Mo was definitely interested if they had one in stock.

Soon, the salesman led him to a corner of the showroom where a dark green Taycan was parked.

"Mr. Chen, this color is actually quite nice. The official name is Mamba Green."

The salesman explained the color to him.

’What color?’

’Mamba Green?’

’Is it the Mamba I’m thinking of?’

Hearing this, Chen Mo was slightly taken aback.

"Which ’Mamba’?"

Chen Mo asked, keeping his expression neutral.

"The ’Mamba’ from ’Mamba out’."

The salesman was clearly in the know, giving Chen Mo a look that said, *you know the one*.

’This thing better not actually go ’out’ on me.’

Chen Mo thought about his own ’constitution’ and then about the name of the car’s color.

A flicker of alarm and suspicion crossed his eyes.

’This car isn’t actually going to go ’out,’ is it?’
