The Mafia King's First Love Chapter 417 – The Mafia King’s Deal With The Librarian

“Umm…”

Lihua was twirling the pen in her hand as she tried to focus on the Math problem in front of her. Yes, ‘tried’ to focus because her focus was always shifting towards Liangshi. She dazedly touched her cheek and still felt the lingering sensation of his cheek that had brushed against it. Her ear was slightly red by his husky voice with which he had whispered too close to her ear.

“Lihua?”

Has Wei’s ghost entered Liangshi? Lihua was in her own world.

Wei tilted his head. “Lihua?”

How could he affect me the same way Wei does? Is it even possible?

Wei blinked.

I think this is definitely some grave plot against me! Here I am trying to forget Wei, but somehow or the other, I always remember him through Liangshi!

Wei tapped on her shoulder. “Lihua?”

Lihua narrowed her eyes and clenched the pen tighter in her hand.

But Liangshi is a college student like me. He is twenty-two like me. And of course, he looks different from Wei. So why…how can two people be so similar?

Her deep analysis broke as her face was turned, and her gaze met Liangshi’s. She slightly stiffened. “Liangshi?”

“Lihua?”

“Yes.”

“Can you hear me?”

“What kind of question is that? Of course, I can.”

Wei pursed his lips. “You weren’t answering me. I called you over three times already.”

“Ah really?” Then she suddenly felt conscious of his fingers holding her cheek. Lihua quickly put his hand down and tried to smile. “I was just thinking about the problem…”

“Oh. Do you have trouble?”

‘Lack of IQ.’

Even the insult was so similar! Lihua cried.

“Yes…I forgot what to apply here.”

Wei nodded. “I will explain again.”

He shifted closer to her, and she moved backward. He leaned more, and she leaned back more. Wei tilted his head. “Why are you moving back?”

Her mouth twitched.

Do you want to kill my heart?

The image of her trapped in his arms flashed by without any warning, and she flushed.

A glint passed through his eyes. “We should sit very close,” he egged.

“W-why?”

“It’s convenient. How can you learn if you are so far away? That’s why we should stay really close to each other,” he seriously nodded.

She cleared her throat. The other students who had their heads buried in their books giggled. They were trying hard to control their laughter.

Why are you laughing? There is nothing indecent going on here! We are just studying!

Wei smiled. He caught her hand in his that held the pen. His index finger was on top of hers as he pressed the pen to write. Lihua stared at their entwined hands and rapidly blinked.

Her hand moved in rhythm with his as he wrote the formula.

“Add this here…”

His breath softly fanned her cheek.

Wei clutched her hand a little firmer and gently dragged it to write more. “Then differentiate…”

Her hand trembled, and she could barely write. If not for Liangshi holding it, she would have already dropped the pen.

Close…too close!

“Did you get it?”

“Ah?” Lihua blankly looked at him.

“The solution? Did you understand it?”

Lihua looked down to see the steps.

I didn’t understand a bit! You are not letting me focus!

“I did…”

Wei squinted his eyes. “What is the fourth step?” He quickly covered the solution with his palm.

Lihua grimaced. “Why are you hiding it?”

“A test.”

She coughed. “The fourth step. Yeah…it was…I know. Just give me a second! Ughh…”

Wei beamed. “You forgot.”

She twitched.

“So I will teach you again,” there was clear excitement in his voice.

“Aren’t you tired of teaching a weak student like me?”

Wei frowned. “You are not weak. Don’t say it like that.”

Lihua peeked at him and said, “Do you…”

“Yes?”

Do you know Wei, by any chance?

But she let that question remain in her mind.

Wei moved his chair closer such that his arm touched hers. Lihua jolted. “You you…”

He innocently said, “What?”

The librarian, who was watching them, pushed up her spectacles and giggled.

Youngsters these days…

I must admit that boy is quite smooth in flirting. Flirting in a library…

Aish.

She remembered the old days where her husband flirted just like Wei did right now, and she blushed.

The students coughed.

Woah, even the librarian is blushing!

She noticed their stares and reverted to her stern expression. “*Ahem* silence!”

As the hour got over, Lihua came to return the book. The librarian stared at her, and Lihua blinked.

“Mam?”

“Nothing,” she looked left and right and then whispered. “He is a good boy. Handsome and intelligent.”

She blinked faster.

“You got a good boyfriend.”

Lihua choked hard. “B-Boyfriend?”

“Aish, it’s okay dear,” she waved her hand. “It’s the age to fall in love.”

“He is not my boyfriend!” She urgently whispered.

“Really?”

She nodded hard.

The librarian touched her chin. “Ah!”

“See? You understand now.”

“So he still has to confess. No worries. He will become your boyfriend sooner or later.”

“…”

What’s wrong with the librarian?

When Wei stepped in front of her, the librarian got extra excited. “I am rooting for you. You are so cute!”

Wei tilted his head. “Rooting for what?”

“Oof. Of course for you and your friend for now. With whom you were studying. You two will make a great couple,” she giggled.

Wei slowly widened his eyes. Then his whole demeanor brightened. “You really think so?”

“En! Hehe your friend was blushing too. You are going the right way, young man. You are pursuing her, right?”

Wei nodded. “En.”

Her heart was struck with an arrow seeing his warm gaze. “She will definitely say yes! I am sure of it.”

Wei beamed.

The librarian coughed. “Don’t tell this to anybody…”

Wei leaned in to listen to her.

She secretly whispered. “If you want, I can also arrange to lock you two in the library for some time. Alone and in distress. That trick has united many couples hoho~”

Wei beamed even more and looked at Lihua from a distance.

He said back, “I will take that offer one day.”
