Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon

Chapter 127

When Quan Zhisui spoke these words, her fingers remained on Wei Shixu's wrist, feeling his pulse.

Thump!

She felt his pulse suddenly beat with a strong, forceful rhythm.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

It was as if a drum were pounding fiercely inside his wrist!

Each beat grew more intense!

As if it wanted to leap out!

Wei Shixu felt his own heartbeat and pressed a hand over his chest.

His gaze swept over her brows and eyes, lingering on her lips, his expression gradually becoming entranced...

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Faster and louder!

Finally, he took a deep breath and turned his face away.

Five seconds later, the frantic pulse calmed down, suppressed by him.

At the same time, Quan Zhisui released her grip on his wrist and stood beside him, her emotions more complicated than ever.

The fact that he liked her was real.

To be precise, it was genuine.

Earlier, during the negotiation, Wei Shixu's state had been dangerous, as if he had detached from his body and entered a state of absolute rationality. His soul seemed to be observing from a higher dimension, controlling his body to speak and act.

He had truly opened a god-like perspective!

In this state, he had no emotions, no feelings, and had shut off all sensations, resorting to any means to achieve his goals.

Only when Quan Zhisui said the words, "Be your girlfriend," did his soul abruptly fall from its divine pedestal, crashing back into his physical body.

He began to feel emotions again.

And they were hard to control.

But this back-and-forth tug-of-war...

The sound of bustling voices approached as a crowd began to gather.

Wei Shixu stood up, dusted himself off, and then reached out to take her hand.

The moment their fingers intertwined, his heart pounded fiercely once more.

Wei Shixu: "Let's get some late-night food to celebrate."

He sighed softly as he spoke, his eyes revealing exhaustion.

Quan Zhisui pried his hand away: "I don't want people to know."

Wei Shixu let go without hesitation: "Alright."

Quan Zhisui studied his face. In the dim, almost seductive lighting, he looked impossibly handsome yet dangerously intense.

Wei Shixu: "Don't look at me with that probing gaze. I told you, I won't pretend anymore."

Quan Zhisui continued to stare at him, as if trying to see through his exterior into his soul.

Wei Shixu sighed softly: "Tell me what you're thinking."

Quan Zhisui raised an eyebrow and patted his handsome face: "I'm thinking about how to use you, my dear boyfriend."

Wei Shixu's eyes lit up with surprise and admiration, shining like black obsidian under the light. He leaned in slowly:

"So fierce. I love it."

Wei Shixu didn't kiss her but instead rested his head on her shoulder, letting it droop heavily.

He wasn't worried about Quan Zhisui being unable to support him; he was more concerned about whether she might flip him over her shoulder.

Quan Zhisui didn't flip him, but she did reach out and pinch the back of his neck.

Wei Shixu chuckled softly and lifted his head: "Don't forget to get me a gift for my birthday this year."

His eyes were filled with anticipation, even impatience.

Quan Zhisui's expression remained blank.

Wei Shixu emphasized: "If you don't, I'll make a scene."

With that, he kissed her other cheek.

"Got it," Quan Zhisui said, turning her head away with a frown. "From now on, no kissing without my permission."

Wei Shixu released her: "As you wish."

...

The next morning, Wei Shixu didn't show up for class. He appeared around noon, yawning.

Kong Mingze immediately rushed over: "Wei Shixu, did you not sleep last night?"

Wei Shixu: "I did."

He had slept all night and through the morning—over ten hours.

Quan Zhisui glanced at him and then went back to solving problems.

That god-like perspective mode of his was something ordinary people couldn't achieve. It was indeed impressive, requiring both high intelligence and rationality, but it drained his energy. It would take him days to recover.

Over the next week, Quan Zhisui and Wei Shixu maintained their usual relationship—neither too intimate nor too distant. No one knew they had officially become a couple.

Kong Mingze was increasingly baffled by Wei Shisxu and Quan Zhisui. Their arguments and reconciliations were like those of kindergarten kids, happening at the drop of a hat.

Zhuge Ying, on the other hand, sensed something odd about the two, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

The final exams arrived quickly. Quan Zhisui performed well and was immediately picked up by Wei Shixu after the exams to stay at his place.

With the start of their senior year approaching, the summer break was short, and the homework load was heavy.

Quan Zhisui received a file containing documents for a bank safety deposit box and contact information for several overseas venture capital firms.

She quickly memorized all the information.
