FORTUNATELY, I MET YOU

Chapter 66: Cheng Xi, Do You Want to Die?
Cheng Xi felt like her hair was standing on end. She looked at Lu Chenzhou, tightened her hand into a fist, and prepared to punch him again as she calmly asked, "Have you ever had this sort of feeling in the past?"

"What?"

"Sexual desire."

Lu Chenzhou shook his head. "No."

"Never? Or yes, but never as uncontrollable as this? Or has it been so long since you've had any sexual activity that these urges have become uncontrollable? You've probably had some experience with sexual activities in the past, right?"

She immediately reverted to a doctor's perspective and handled his response in a practiced and proficient manner. Originally, her plan had been to delay until she could formulate a more comprehensive strategy to deal with him. However, Lu Chenzhou's response to her prepared questions was entirely unexpected. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does this have to do with the fact that I want to have sex with you?"

As he said this, he even tugged at her so forcefully that Cheng Xi had to grab onto the edge of the sofa with all her strength to avoid being dragged any closer to him.

Right now, Cheng Xi felt that Lu Chenzhou and Baldy were truly meant to be friends; they both shared the same tendency of saying things in a direct and unpleasant fashion.

She frowned and replied, "Of course they're related. Only after understanding your specific situation can I help you control these urges of yours. If we approach this from the perspective of animal behavioral studies, then we start with the assumption that all uncontrollable urges are bestial. Thus; the best thing you can do, Mr. Lu, is to learn how to control your body better so that a situation like what happened last night doesn't happen again. You might not have realized it, but what you did last night was in fact very dangerous. Driving at high speeds while in that sort of condition could have, at any point—"

Cheng Xi's tone was particularly sincere, and everything she said was to help him. However, Lu Chenzhou didn't have the patience to listen to another word. While she was still in the middle of talking, he suddenly pulled at her body with one hand while holding her waist with the other, and Cheng Xi fell onto his body.

Luckily for Cheng Xi, there was a thick quilt between the two of them, sufficient to cushion her fall. But while she was still feeling thankful, Lu Chenzhou's hand moved as though it were about to snake into her clothes.

That was the last straw. Resigning herself to the fact that she wouldn't be able to reason with him, Cheng Xi decided to use the same strategy she had last night and tried to punch him to calm him down before talking with him any further. But this time, the clearheaded Lu Chenzhou reacted quickly; just as her punch was about to land, he tilted his head, almost sheerly through instinct. Peng! Her fist landed on his jaw instead.

"Oh!"

Lu Chenzhou fiercely sucked in air through his teeth. Because the sudden spike of pain was so strong, his eyes teared up, but he also let go of her.

Even Cheng Xi couldn't help but exclaim in sympathy. It must really have hurt because even her hand hurt; her fingers almost felt like they were broken!

This was all because her punch had applied force incorrectly and in the wrong position.

"Hey." She quickly extricated herself from the sofa, and watched on from a few paces away. "I didn't intentionally try to hit you there. Are you alright?"

Lu Chenzhou glanced at her as he rubbed his jaw, his gaze becoming more lucid with each passing second. Evidently, the pain had caused his urges to wane.
