My wife is a witch princess

Chapter 89 Only I Can Teasing You

Under Song Che's strong protest, the two finally reached a temporary agreement, sitting upright at opposite ends of the table, displaying a rather respectful demeanor.

But this calm is only superficial.

Xia Li lowered her eyes, seemingly lost in thought, but Song Che could actually feel her occasional gaze drifting over—that look, how to put it, Xia Li was feigning sleep to lure the enemy.

I'll pretend to be Tang first and then trick him.

The two made a pact: Song Che was not allowed to touch his "sensitive areas" again, and Xia Li was not allowed to touch him inappropriately.

For the next ten minutes, the living room was filled with nothing but staring at each other.

The two stared at each other across the table, neither speaking. A tense silence filled the air, broken only by the ticking of the clock on the wall.

Until the familiar dizziness returned, my vision blurred, and the disorientation in my body receded like a tide.

Song Che suddenly opened his eyes and immediately looked down at his hands—they were the familiar size and feel.

He let out a long sigh of relief.

He looked up at Xia Li's head and confirmed that the label that read "Swap Bodies" had disappeared without a trace, and no other strange labels had appeared. Only then did his heart finally settle down.

Being a girl and being touched all over... it's definitely not something everyone can handle calmly.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem like there was any reason why Xia Li used to flick him on the head so often.

He glanced at the time; it was still early. So he took out his books and decided to review for a while longer—tomorrow was the final exam, and if he could get a few more points, he could at least have a comfortable New Year.

On the other side, after Xia Li switched back to her own body, she sat quietly without moving, even her breathing became soft.

After a while, Song Che noticed that her originally fair earlobes had slowly turned a blush.

"What are you thinking about?" Song Che put down his pen and asked curiously.

"Think about it," Xia Li replied succinctly.

She has an exceptional memory; every feeling she experienced in those twenty minutes was clearly imprinted in her consciousness.

All those novel, unfamiliar, and somewhat out-of-control experiences... she felt as if she were a little closer to truly understanding those things called "emotions".

But at the same time, a belated realization surfaced in my mind—those actions just now seemed...not so good.

It would make her seem... frivolous.

At this moment, what lingered in her mind was no longer a simple "strange feeling," but a feeling so clear that it made her a little uneasy.

Her mind was even replaying the scene from earlier in a somewhat chaotic way.

...What did I just do?

"I really need to think about this," Song Che chimed in, his tone tinged with a sense of relief and helplessness. "I've never seen anyone 'bully' someone like you."

"It's your body that's so strange," Xia Li immediately retorted, trying to shift the blame. "It does those things on its own."

You were the one who controlled your body, so why are you blaming my body?

"I wouldn't do that kind of thing." Xia Li's tone was surprisingly firm, as if the curious little rascal and "little hooligan" from just now wasn't her at all. Although the matter itself wasn't that serious, this "repudiating" attitude made Song Che both angry and amused.

"Because using your body just felt like that, I couldn't control myself." Xia Li maintained her composure, trying to reason with them. "I just wanted to carefully observe the appearance of my own body; I didn't mean to touch it. It just insisted on..."

She paused, then changed to a more objective statement, "It's your body that insists on making those movements, so your hand just reaches out on its own."

"It's you." Song Che didn't back down.

"It wasn't me."

"It was you, even if you don't admit it, you did it." Song Che simply closed the book, determined to properly "correct" her misconception. He leaned forward slightly. "Fine, now, try touching me again with your own body?"

Xia Li's gaze flickered for a moment before she quickly looked away.

"I...I can't do it."

She suddenly felt she had grasped the key point, and her logic instantly became clear. "So you see, I can't bring myself to use my own body, but I can use yours. It's clearly a problem with your body, not that I'm being a pervert or that I'm being indecent. I... I've always been very proper!"

Towards the end, she even slightly raised her chin, trying to make herself appear more convincing.

"That's what you call 'alcohol emboldens the timid.'" Song Che looked at her "I'm perfectly justified" attitude and felt he had to put her down. "Using my body is like being drunk; all the little thoughts you usually hide are exposed. Admit it, Your Highness—"

He deliberately dragged out his words, with a mischievous smile, "Deep down, you're a bit 'unserious' and a bit 'a little hooligan'."

"...I'm not!" Xia Li's voice suddenly rose a little.

Song Che chuckled inwardly, never expecting this witch princess to have such a stubborn and hypocritical side.

Actually, Xia Li had thought of apologizing, but the more Song Che said it, the less she dared to and was willing to admit it.

"Indecent" or anything like that... Absolutely not!

She had privately learned a lot about modern common sense and knew that although girls nowadays are much more open-minded than in the past, "improper" is still not a good word for girls.

She wanted to be a proper, composed girl. Those close encounters, those unintentional touches… they were all accidents, uncontrollable variables brought about by the body swap, and they didn't count at all!

From now on, we must begin to regulate our words and actions.

"What happened just now... doesn't count." She took a deep breath and looked at Song Che again. "It was because I wasn't prepared, I wasn't used to it. If we switch bodies again next time, I definitely won't do that."

There absolutely cannot be a next time!

Song Che cried out in his heart. Even if we're going to "tease" someone, it should be me "teaseing" you!

Coincidentally, Song Che has never been one to stay put.

As for Xia Li, this former witch princess, was she ever truly "docile" at heart?

The two secretly began to compete with each other regarding the core question of "who flirted with whom".

Song Che felt it was time to show some "manly spirit." He couldn't continue to be a coward just because the other party was "Your Highness" and because he had always been in the position of a "bullied" contractor for the past hundred years.

Xia Li believes that even though she is now Song Che's girlfriend, she cannot lose the initiative of "Your Highness".

She would find a way to give the bride price later, but Song Che couldn't "flirt" with her at will... On the contrary, she could accept observing Song Che. Moreover, admitting her behavior now would be tantamount to admitting her frivolity; but backing down would make her seem guilty.

Therefore, Xia Li quickly made a new decision: neither admit it nor back down, but simply confront it.

So, at opposite ends of the dining table, Song Che slowly put down his book, and Xia Li gently put down her draft paper.

Tao Xiang, who was sitting next to me, had just finished eating. "Brother, I'm still a little hungry."

Song Che and Xia Li spoke in unison.

"Don't say anything yet!"
