After Rebirth, I Only Wanted to Slack Off, but a Clingy Goddess CEO Started Pursuing Me - Chapter 2:

Chapter 2: Too Wild to Handle

Hearing the clerk’s words, Yu Qingge also looked uncertain. She had only seen the sign outside that said couples could buy the limited-edition bags. But she hadn’t noticed anything about a specific process.

“What process?” she asked, a little suspicious. “Isn’t it enough to just be a couple?”

“Of course not!” The clerk shook her head. “To prevent people from pretending to be couples just to buy the limited-edition bags, we have requirements. But don’t worry, it’s just a few small interactions between couples.”

“Just follow the steps, and you’ll get the opportunity to purchase the limited-edition bag!” she said with a cheerful tone. “Plus, we also have couple’s gifts to give away~ There are only two spots left—it’s first come, first served!”

“Only two left?” Yu Qingge’s tone suddenly turned anxious, especially when she saw another couple approaching. She quickly urged, “Alright, got it! So what exactly is the process? Say it already!”

“Of course!” The clerk kept her warm smile.

He Li couldn’t understand Yu Qingge at all. Were women really this obsessed with luxury bags—especially limited editions? He shook his head quietly and listened as the clerk explained, “The process is quite simple.”

“First, the two of you must hold hands! Linking arms doesn’t count!”

Hold hands? He Li hesitated for a moment.

But before he could react, Yu Qingge had already reached out and grabbed his hand. Her soft, cool touch surprised him, and as he looked over at her, she leaned in and whispered, “What are you spacing out for? Hold my hand properly or she’ll get suspicious!”

“If we get caught, all our effort will be wasted!”

“Or are you, a grown man, more shy than me? You don’t even dare to hold my hand?”

Her teasing tone had a hint of playfulness and a touch of embarrassment.

He Li couldn’t take it. “Me? Afraid? You’re the one who’s not shy—why would I be?”

“I’ve got nothing to lose. Why would I back off?” With a cold snort, he flipped his hand over and clasped hers tightly.

Her hand was soft and delicate, and as he interlocked their fingers, he couldn’t help but glance at her smugly—though that strange feeling in his chest stirred again. He lightly rubbed her fingers without thinking.

Yu Qingge noticed his movements. Her eyes revealed a flash of shyness, though she kept a calm expression on the surface. “That’s… just about right!”

“Stay sharp and don’t mess up the act.”

He Li nodded, “Got it.”

With their fingers intertwined and heads close together whispering, to outsiders, they looked exactly like a young couple sharing sweet nothings.

The clerk nodded in approval, completely fooled.

“Next, please hold hands and come inside the store!” she said, leading the way.

“There are a few more steps to complete.”

He Li and Yu Qingge, hand in hand, followed the clerk with awkward expressions as they stood in front of a pink-themed couple event platform under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

The store manager, now acting as a part-time host, smiled brightly. “Another lovely couple has joined us on the stage!”

“Their goal is also the XN true love limited-edition bag.”

“Love may be priceless, but our bags have a price.”

“So, getting one isn’t easy!”

“First, we’ll need our boyfriend here to squat down and lift his girlfriend up in the air!”

“There’s an item on the stand behind you.”

“You two need to work together to retrieve it!”

Squat down and lift Yu Qingge up?

He Li looked at her hesitantly.

But Yu Qingge beamed, “What are you waiting for?”

“Hurry up, there are more steps after this!”

“So I can carry you?” He Li asked. His gaze naturally drifted to her long, slender legs beneath the short skirt. He squatted down, pressed down on her skirt to keep it in place, and lifted her up in one go.

Her legs were soft, warm, and fragrant. Holding her like this, He Li’s thoughts began to wander.

Yu Qingge felt it too.

He Li’s warm breath brushed against her legs, making her feel itchy and shy at the same time. Her face under the mask flushed even deeper.

But she also looked at He Li with admiration.

He had pressed her skirt down to avoid exposing anything, not only avoiding peeking himself but also protecting her from others’ eyes. That small gesture showed consideration, and it made Yu Qingge think—he’s not just handsome, he might actually be a decent guy.

As she thought about it, her hand touched something on the platform—it was a small box.

But she didn’t take it out right away.

Looking down at He Li still holding her, she smirked.

He Li noticed something strange and asked, “Did you get it?”

“Not yet. Wait a bit longer,” Yu Qingge replied.

Then she added, “Move to the left a little.”

“Now, a bit to the right…”

After a few back-and-forths, even He Li realized something wasn’t right. He stopped listening and put her down.

Seeing his annoyed look, Yu Qingge leaned in and teased, “What’s wrong? Holding my legs wasn’t enjoyable?”

“I was rewarding you for being considerate and covering my skirt.”

“So? Did my legs feel nice?”

There was a mischievous glint in her eyes.

He Li was speechless. “What kind of reward is that?”

“You might as well just sit down and let me touch your legs.”

“Oh? So that’s what you really wanted?” Yu Qingge looked like she had an epiphany and smirked. “How about I let you do that next time?”

Her tone was flirty, filled with teasing.

He Li couldn’t help but recall the soft feel from earlier, and her words stirred something inside him… but he quickly extinguished those thoughts and said, “Stop talking nonsense.”

“Hurry up and open the box so we can finish this.”

“You really don’t know how to flirt, do you?” Yu Qingge giggled and shook her head. She opened the small box and revealed two heart-shaped necklaces.

The host’s voice rang out again.

“Congratulations! You’ve received our couple gift—the True Love Necklace!”

“Now, please hug each other and put the necklace on for each other!”

Hug again? He Li stared at the necklace, deep in thought.

His eyes glanced toward Yu Qingge’s impressive curves.

Putting the necklace on her with a hug? That sounded way too dangerous.

As he hesitated, Yu Qingge suddenly leaned forward and wrapped her arms around him. She even blew gently into his ear, “We’ve already held hands and hugged legs. A hug doesn’t make much difference now.”

“Hehe, aren’t you happy I’m hugging you?”

“After all, I’m really confident in my figure.”

“Sigh, I didn’t think my first hug…”

“Would go to someone I just met like you.”

“I was saving it for my boyfriend, you know.”

As she spoke, He Li took in her scent and her words, but something felt off.

Sure enough, Yu Qingge followed up with a line that made his scalp tingle.

“Brother, I really like your vibe!”

“You’re handsome and have a good character.”

“I’ve already given you so many of my firsts.”

“So… why don’t we try being a real couple?”

The moment she said that, He Li started sweating all over.

What kind of woman says things like that so casually?

She said she gave him so many firsts?

Wasn’t it just hand-holding, hugging, and lifting her up? If anyone else heard this, who knows what they’d think!

They had just met, and now she wanted to be in a relationship? How did her mind work? How much did she even know about him?

Are all women this terrifying?

If she really became his girlfriend, could he even handle her?

“She’s too wild. I can’t control her!” He Li shivered.

He quickly helped Yu Qingge put on the necklace and backed away.

His guarded expression left Yu Qingge completely stunned…
