Chapter 79

The first volume, page thirty-three: “Has Zhao Zhao ever thought about the choice between these two identities?”

“Xiao Lei, I mean, if… Between the two identities, Zhao Zhao and Zhao Lei, if you had to choose only one, which would you choose?”

“Of course, Zhao Zhao.” Without much hesitation, Xiao Lei answered quickly, then laughed with a wide smile, showing her neat white teeth. “Ah, are you worried that I might be suffering from multiple personality disorder, Chairman?”

“Something like that.”

“It’s fine, I’m perfectly normal.”

“In the end, it’s just me worrying alone…”

“I have also considered the problem you mentioned, but I eventually came to terms with it.”

Although she said she had come to terms with it, she didn’t let go of my arm and instead rested her head on my shoulder. Her dyed red hair tickled my neck, making me feel a bit itchy, and I could even smell a peach-like fragrance.

Zhao Zhao’s shampoo is actually peach-scented?

“Even though my chest isn’t very developed, I don’t dislike this form. The feeling of liking you is genuine. The experience of heart racing during a girl’s初恋 is addictive. Just being near you and smelling your scent gives me immense satisfaction. You wouldn’t understand this, would you, Chairman?”

“Who could understand this!”

And smelling someone… It sounds like something a stalker would do, doesn’t it?

“But I haven’t reached the point of losing my sense of priority. I am first Zhao Zhao, and then I am the girl in love, Zhao Lei… Do we really need to make this a single-choice question now? Whether I’m a man or a woman, isn’t it all up to you to decide?”

“Oh!”

As if she had thought of something, Xiao Lei narrowed her eyes suspiciously at me. “Are you planning to use me to meet some kind of quota?!”

“No way, you’re not an unfortunate person.”

“There is, I’m extremely unlucky! In seventeen years of life, my only female friend is Xiao Hai Tang. You’re beautiful, but you’re a man, and you have a natural aura that repels females. You also attended a boys’ school in high school.”

“Use your current brain to think back. Aren’t all these consequences caused by yourself?”

The gondola had risen very high, and looking up, I could see the reflective panels hanging down from the giant dome. They were even higher than the artificial mountains at the starting point of the raft ride. From the waterway hidden among the palm trees, I found those rafts, which were the next stop after the Ferris wheel.

“We’re almost at the peak!” Her breathing was somewhat rapid, and she looked strangely excited.

“Even if we reach the peak, we’ll still be indoors—”

Just as the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, Xiao Lei blushed and stood up from her seat. With one hand, she lifted my bangs, and with the other, she tucked her side hair behind her ear. She slowly leaned down and…

Kissed me on the forehead.

Her lips were warm and soft, at least softer than her chest.

Caught off guard by her kiss, I stuttered, “What was that sudden attack? Trying to tease me?”

“Haha, Chairman, you’re blushing! You look even prettier when you blush,” she sat back in her seat across from me, smiling brightly. “It’s said that couples who kiss at the top of a Ferris wheel will be happy for life. Since this time I kissed you unilaterally… I hope you’ll be happy…”

Before I could say anything, she reached out and pinched my mouth shut.

“Kai, I really like you. Being with you makes me so happy, but this feeling will only last until I turn back into Zhao Zhao. So you don’t need to respond to me. I’m already very satisfied with this.”

…

My heart is pounding… It feels like I’ve been teased.
