Chapter 002: The High-End Hunter Appears as Prey
Lin Lang quickly smiled and politely offered, "Keqing, please come in and sit. A single man's room is a bit messy, I hope you don't mind."
Gu Keqing, wearing high heels, swayed her waist with every step as she gracefully entered the rental house and sat beautifully on the living room sofa, elegant and charming.
While pouring water, Lin Lang sweetly said, "Keqing, your starlit eyes shine brightly, your brows and eyes are full of charm, and a gentle smile softens time. You're so beautiful that I, your younger brother, am too embarrassed to look at you."
"Hehe…"
"A Lang, don't think that just because you're sweet-tongued and make me happy, you can get out of paying rent." Gu Keqing took the water cup.
"Keqing, I'm a poor college student. My pockets are emptier than my face. I really don't have money for rent right now. Can you give me a few more days?"
Gu Keqing patted the sofa with her fair, slender hand and replied, "The rent can be discussed. A Lang, come over here first and watch 'animal world' with me for a bit."
"Oh, okay!" Lin Lang responded and sat on the sofa.
Because Gu Keqing liked men with a simple persona, Lin Lang deliberately kept his distance from Gu Keqing, maintaining a somewhat restrained and naive appearance, which made Gu Keqing find him very cute.

The scene in "animal world" was the African savanna, where a honey badger was fighting a cobra. It was a fierce battle, and its combat power was extraordinary.
Gu Keqing deliberately moved closer to Lin Lang and teased, "A Lang, other boys prefer looking at beautiful women. Why do you like watching bears fight?"
A wisp of faint fragrance wafted from Gu Keqing, like spring blossoms carried by the wind, sweet but not cloying, clear and lingering.
This alluring scent made Lin Lang feel a bit intoxicated.
Lin Lang, who had just transmigrated, replied somewhat reservedly, "Keqing, this isn't a bear; it's an African honey badger. They are masters of snake hunting, eating snakes as if they were spicy strips."
"A Lang, is 'Flathead' the honey badger's nickname?"
"That's right!"
"Flatheads always face life and death with indifference and fight without hesitation. When they see cobras and pythons, they become ecstatic, pouncing on them like they're eating spicy strips and tearing pythons apart with their bare hands."
Gu Keqing smiled charmingly, every gesture full of allure.
Seeing Lin Lang's feigned seriousness, Gu Keqing couldn't help but tease, "A Lang, is watching an African honey badger tear apart a cobra really more interesting than watching a beautiful woman?"
Lin Lang deliberately avoided Gu Keqing's intense gaze and continued to watch "animal world," "Of course, watching an African honey badger tear apart venomous snakes on the savanna is more interesting."
Gu Keqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "A Lang, are you nervous sitting next to me watching TV?"
"Why are you sweating?"
"Keqing, you've misunderstood!"
"I'm not sweating because I'm nervous sitting next to you watching TV. I'm sweating because I'm nervous watching the African honey badger tear apart venomous snakes in 'animal world,' hehe..."
Lin Lang inhaled Gu Keqing's perfume, which somewhat intoxicated him, making him feel deeply unable to extricate himself.
Gu Keqing gently wiped Lin Lang's sweat, her actions somewhat ambiguous, and teased, "A Lang, are you nervous about the venomous snake? Or are you afraid the honey badger will lose, causing you to sweat from tension?"
"I... of course I'm nervous about the venomous snake!"
Lin Lang replied with his heart pounding, "Because African honey badgers dare to go head-to-head with various venomous snakes and fierce beasts, it's because they have thick skin and are almost immune to all snake venom."
"Hehe…"
Gu Keqing smiled charmingly after hearing that, looking at her male tenant Lin Lang with eyes full of affection, making Lin Lang's heart itch, and his pure persona was almost impossible to maintain.
This is called a high-end hunter, often appearing in the form of prey.
"Keqing, what are you laughing at?"
Gu Keqing replied with a smile, "A Lang, you're so cute!"
"Keqing, where am I cute?"
"I'm talking about life with you, but you keep talking about the African honey badger. Are you adorably silly?"
"Uh…"
Lin Lang deliberately avoided the topic, pointing at the TV with an exaggerated expression and saying, "Keqing, look quickly!"
"The African honey badger just tore apart a cobra, and immediately after, it's fighting a highly venomous puff adder. It's preparing to fight to the death and use this venomous snake as a snack!"
Gu Keqing asked somewhat speechlessly, "So, am I more beautiful, or is the African honey badger more beautiful?"
Lin Lang feigned shyness, looked at Gu Keqing, the pure and alluring older sister, and replied with a gulp, "Both Keqing and the African honey badger are beautiful!"
"A Lang, are you trying to be funny?"
Lin Lang couldn't help but look directly into Gu Keqing's big, captivating eyes and said, following his heart, "Actually, Keqing is beautiful, so beautiful that I'm too embarrassed to look at you!"
Gu Keqing shifted her body on the sofa, deliberately snuggling closer to Lin Lang and said, "A Lang, you're so handsome, you don't seem like the type of man who doesn't understand romance, do you?"
"Keqing, you're joking."
"I just graduated from college and haven't had a girlfriend yet!"
"I don't really know how to interact with girls, so I hope you don't mind, Keqing."
"A Lang, you're so handsome, and you have such a good physique with chest and abdominal muscles, how could you not have had a girlfriend during college?"
Lin Lang replied earnestly, "When I was in college, my mind was focused entirely on my studies, without distractions, so I never thought about dating."
Gu Keqing felt a little secretly pleased after hearing this, and charmingly probed, "So, A Lang, what kind of girl do you like?"
"Keqing, I'm a bit embarrassed to answer you."
"What's there to be embarrassed about?"
"A Lang, tell me, I want to know." Gu Keqing looked at Lin Lang with eyes full of affection.
Lin Lang, acting the part, deliberately lowered his head and counted on his fingers, replying, "My parents passed away early, so I lacked maternal love, and I somewhat prefer girls who are a bit older than me."
Gu Keqing felt secretly pleased after hearing this, but also somewhat pained because Lin Lang was an orphan, all alone.
"I'm so sorry, A Lang! I made you bring up painful memories. I didn't realize you were an orphan."
"It's okay." Lin Lang forced a slight smile.
Gu Keqing took the opportunity to hold Lin Lang's hand and said, "A Lang, let me cherish you from now on, okay?"
"Keqing, do you have quick-acting heart pills with you?"
"No!"
"I don't have heart disease, why would I carry quick-acting heart pills when I go out?"
Lin Lang breathed in Gu Keqing's faint fragrance, and somewhat uncontrollably said, "Keqing, with you holding my hand like this, my heart is pounding so fast!"
Gu Keqing smiled charmingly after hearing that, "Then if I were to kiss you, wouldn't you need to call 120 for an ambulance?"
"Keqing, you're not trying to steal my first kiss, are you?"
Gu Keqing was very surprised after hearing this and said, "No way, A Lang? You've already graduated from college, and you still have your first kiss?"
"Mm." Lin Lang feigned shyness and nodded.
"A Lang, you're not lying to me, are you?"
"This isn't something glorious, so I don't need to lie to you~"
Gu Keqing said tenderly, "A Lang, now close your eyes, and I'll give you a surprise!"
"Ah... okay!"
Lin Lang obediently closed his eyes, his heart pounding wildly, full of anticipation.
