Li Jie has a slender and thin figure, which is her natural physique, possibly enhanced by her training routines. Her light movements, fast speed, and agility are attributes requiring a slim body. Yet, when a slender girl like her pounced on Li Yan, it wasn't an actual attack; to him, it felt more like playful teasing!

As she grabbed a pillow to cover his face, her legs parted and straddled his upper abdomen, and her entire chest pressed down, causing him to naturally hold onto her slim waist!

"I'll make you talk! I'll make you talk!"

Li Jie grumbled as she pressed against him a few times, then mock-scolded, "Call me a silly girl again, huh! You're the fool!"

The battle between men and women is fun only when both sides are active, playful, and engaging. If one side flails and the other is indifferent, it results in a cold war. Li Jie's attempt to trample on Li Yan provided relief, but since he acted like a dead fish, unresponsive, she quickly lost interest.

"Hey! Fight back! This isn't fun..." Li Jie lifted herself and slapped the pillow. She knew that if they wrestled for real, even playfully, she wouldn't stand a chance against Li Yan, but she truly wanted to wrestle and vent some excess energy to exhaust herself mentally and physically, making herself feel more relaxed.

However, at that moment, she felt Li Yan's hands slide off her waist, legs, and onto the bed, powerless. She was a bit surprised; did he pass out?

This is Li Yan! How could he be so frail?

Though she was using a pillow and pressing down, which could make breathing difficult, how could he barely struggle?

Did he struggle, but I was too annoyed to notice?

The sudden change made Li Jie cautious. She quickly pulled away the pillow and saw Li Yan's eyes slightly open, revealing lifeless white eyeballs. His entire body was motionless, and his face lacked any expression, resembling someone who had fainted or gone into shock.

"Hey! Quit pretending! This isn't fun." She tapped his chest lightly.

But Li Yan remained unresponsive, motionless.

Li Jie frowned slightly, reaching out with her hands, one to his chest, at the heart, and the other in front of his nostrils.

Soon, she felt his reactions: the heartbeat seemed slower and weaker but still there; yet, there was no breath sensation!

A heartbeat but no breathing!

Did he stop breathing just like that?

Li Yan quickly got off the bed, muttering sarcastically, "Hmph, perfect timing, I'll see what's on your computer! You just knocked but didn't open the door, surely hiding something unspeakable inside!"

With that, she headed toward the computer that was covered but not shut down.

Li Yan remained still as her hand touched the computer.

Li Jie paused, was he not pretending, or was there nothing suspicious on the computer?

If Li Yan merely appeared unconscious, she might believe it, but without breathing, it felt too much. With his beast-like robust body, how could he easily fall into shock and stop breathing? And he didn't even resist; surely he was pretending! Approaching the computer was just a test, if he was really viewing something he didn't want her to see—like the things men enjoy watching—he would have surely "woken up" to stop her, but he didn't.

"Time for a special move!" Li Jie said while grabbing the bottle of mineral water she had sipped earlier, then climbed back onto the bed, straddling Li Yan, ready to turn the bottle upside down to open the cap and splash water on his face.

Li Yan had to open his eyes and sigh, "Do you have to be so ruthless? Pouring it on my face is fine, just wipe it off, but how do we sleep if the bed gets wet?"

"Hmph! I knew you were pretending! Why not keep it up?" Li Jie acted like she wanted to continue twisting the cap, "What's wrong with getting it wet? I'm here to sleep on the floor anyway."

"If it's wet, then I'll sleep with you on the floor! You know, you're really not a qualified bodyguard. Didn't you learn first aid? In a situation like mine earlier, you should administer artificial respiration!" Li Yan shook his head in mock despair.

Li Jie sneered, twisted the cap, and aimed the mineral water bottle at Li Yan's mouth, "Here's your artificial respiration! Hmph, I knew you were up to no good..."

Li Yan was surprised she actually opened it and, unable to speak, had to open his mouth wide to meet the bottle.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp..."

The inverted mineral water bottle kept pouring water into Li Yan's mouth, forcing him to swallow hard, thankfully avoiding choking.

Li Jie just wanted to punish him a bit, not to really mess with him. After making him drink a few gulps of water, she immediately took the water bottle away.

"Do you need CPR?"

Her schadenfreude wasn't over yet, when suddenly, there was a "whoosh" sound, and a spray of water hit her face!

Karma!

At lunch, she had spat tea all over Li Yan's face, and now it was his turn to spray her with mineral water.

"You really don't let things slide, do you?" Li Jie wiped the water off her face and said gloomily.

Li Yan swallowed the remaining mineral water in his mouth, "I'm the one at a loss here! You made me drink several gulps, and besides, you've been on top of me this whole time. I haven't even had a chance to flip you over..."

You still want to flip me? Li Jie felt that she'd been lenient just now, but this guy hadn't come to his senses yet, so she didn't hold back. She lifted the more-than-half-full bottle of mineral water and poured it over Li Yan's head and face!

Having been messed with just now, Li Yan didn't hold back this time. Seeing her move, he immediately used his waist and hands together to flip Li Jie's slender body to the side and pressed down on her, seizing her hand and continuing to pour the bottle over her!

The mineral water was originally going to pour out, but because of the change in Li Jie's body position, the bottle turned upright again. Only after Li Yan held it did it pour down steadily.

"Ah—!"

Seeing the mineral water about to pour over her head and face, Li Jie screamed and twisted her body, trying to turn her head away and pulling against Li Yan's grip, planning to make the water fall on the bed beside her instead of on herself.

Li Jie certainly couldn't resist Li Yan's strength. Their twisting and pulling didn't completely avoid him, only shifted the bottle's opening a bit. But with the bottle in the air moving slightly, amidst the pushing and pulling, water was already pouring down, but it didn't land on Li Jie's face. However...

However, in this situation, Li Jie felt it's better if the water had poured on her face!

Because after pulling, the bottle's opening poured all the water over her chest!

"Gulp, gulp, gulp..."

Watching Li Jie stop struggling and seeing where the water was pouring, Li Yan was dumbfounded. Originally, he just wanted to play with her the same way she did, pour a couple of gulps of water on her or maybe a bit on her face, and he could've quickly removed the bottle. But he hadn't expected it to pour on her body, and onto her chest.

"Ah—! Why aren't you taking it away!" Li Jie screamed softly.

Li Yan finally reacted, realizing that although it was unexpected, he should've fixed it immediately. But as both had been stunned, by the time he reacted to remove the bottle, it didn't make much of a difference since there was only a little water left.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to..." Li Yan awkwardly flipped to the side with the nearly empty water bottle, "I'll get you a towel!"

It wasn't just a little bit of clothes in summer, though some water flowed down her neck to the bed, most of the water was absorbed by her coat, cotton clothes, and innerwear, flowing along her body, making her feel very uncomfortable. Instantly, she did a sit-up and quickly sat upright.

Sitting upright, the water on her chest wouldn't flow to her neck or back but instead flowed down her waist and abdomen along the clothes, making more clothes wet. Within moments, most of her upper body was drenched, with water sticking to her skin, icy cold, and the wet clothes clinging, feeling incredibly uncomfortable; it would've been better if she were soaked through.

She quickly jumped off the bed and ran to the bathroom. But half a bottle of mineral water wasn't a small amount, and standing up made the water already at her waist and abdomen flow further to her pants...

"Get out!" Rushing to the bathroom, seeing Li Yan with a towel, Li Jie glared at him and snatched the towel, grumbling, "You lecherous mindless pervert!"

"Pure accident..." Li Yan said, a bit helpless, knowing she wouldn't believe him. Who told him that he had once accidentally grabbed her bra? Although that was purely accidental too.

As soon as he stepped out, Li Jie immediately slammed the door shut, locking it from the inside!

Seeing the water stains on the bed, Li Yan quickly used a tissue to absorb it. Although not a lot, it would've needed a mattress change otherwise. What would the housekeeper think! Messing around with a girl to the point of soaking the bed, people these days are quite dirty-minded, who would believe that it's just pure mineral water!

After tidying up, though there was a wet spot, the bed was big enough and still usable for sleeping. It was just inconveniently located in the middle. Li Yan sat on the edge of the bed, leisurely lighting a cigarette. After this fuss, she'd be quite upset, but it should ease the shadow of the afternoon gunfight and the following protection pressure quite a bit, right?

But after finishing his cigarette while watching TV, quite some time had passed, and Li Jie still hadn't come out of the bathroom. He hadn't heard the sound of water, unlike someone taking a shower. This made him get up and walk to the bathroom door, pressing his ear against it to listen, worrying if she might be crying.
