One Night Stand With That Beggar

Noticing that she did not speak, Culver took a step forward.

“What’s wrong? Have you changed your mind?”

Naomi took a step back, trying to get further away from him.

“Of course not! Now that we have agreed on a one-on-one fight, let’s go to the gym. If I win, you have to let me go! I will pay you back all the money that I’ve owed you. In the future, we will never have anything to do with each other.”

She knew that she couldn’t beat Culver if she fought him in an usual fight since she had tried to do so several times before.

Therefore, she strategized to compete with him by using a set of more diverse moves.

To her, he was still trustworthy as a businessman, although he was a ‘pervert’.

She recalled her conversation with Loraine last time where she had mentioned she had practiced various types of fighting styles.

Loraine told her that Culver had practiced various fighting styles when he was a child, but his passion had only lasted for a few days before he gave up.

Hence, she was certain that he was not adept at more diverse fighting styles.

She thought to herself, “Well, an eye for an eye, Culver, you had this coming!”

Culver narrowed his eyes upon hearing her words, “Don’t cheat!”

Naomi pretended to be righteous and turned her head away as she replied, “Cheating? I don’t understand. As a cultured and sophisticated man from a noble family, shouldn’t you master all kinds of fighting styles? Are you afraid of me?”

She was even provoking him.

Culver curled his lip slightly, “I’m not afraid of you. Come on!”

Naomi instantly followed him as she was totally in the mood of teaching him a lesson.

…..

They arrived at the gym.

After Naomi warmed up, she stared keenly at Culver, who was standing at the other side.

“I’m going to make the first move!”

Culver nodded. He had never warmed himself up since they came in. Just when Naomi was about to hit him, she suddenly felt that it would be unprincipled for her to bully a novice.

However, her punch was thrown out and it was too late for her to regret anything.

She could only try not to hit the lethal spots on his body. Consequently, she turned and punched Culver’s chin. She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say that she had won.

In the next second, her waist was held by his hands. Her punch was redirected. She lost her balance and almost fell to the ground.

In the end, she didn’t fall to the ground. Instead, Culver lifted Naomi’s leg and turned her upside down.

He looked at her leisurely, “You’ve lost.”

Naomi was rendered speechless.

“How are you so good at this? You’re cheating!”

Culver raised his eyebrow and asked, “Have I ever said that I haven’t learned other fighting styles? Speaking of cheating, you’re the one who’s trying to play dirty!”

Naomi was at a loss for words.

“I won’t accept this. The match must be fair and impartial. I didn’t use all my strength just now. Let’s fight once again!”

Culver put her down. “Well, I can allow you to have another match with me, but there’s one condition.”

“What is it?” Naomi stared at him.

Culver’s expression and tone were very solemn.

“If I win, I want you to stay here willingly.”

Naomi furrowed her brows. “I have a condition too. If I win, I’ll leave. You can’t stop me, and you can’t force me to stay by any means!”

“It’s a deal!”

After finishing his words, Culver tidied up his pyjamas carefully.

Both of them were getting serious.

Naomi planned to go for a single decisive strike and end the fight as fast as she could. The main reason was that Culver had shown what he was capable of earlier. The longer the match, the lower her chance of winning.

Thus, she needed to be careful with her strategy.

She clenched her fists while analyzing him.

According to her understanding of him, his eyes might be regarded as a weakness.

Thinking of that, she directly aimed his eyes.

Unfortunately, the result was not what she had expected.

As soon as her punch was thrown over, her hand was grabbed by him. Culver smiled at her and said, “You’ve-”

Before he could say the word ‘lost’, Naomi stepped forward and planted a kiss on his lips out of the blue.

Culver was astounded by her actions.

It was a diversion.

As she had expected, Culver was too agile and she couldn’t hit him in normal condition. So, the punch that she had thrown just then was just a feint, and her following move was a kiss to distract him.

Taking advantage of Culver’s stupefaction, she seized the opportunity to kick him.

However, before she could do so, she was held by him again. He pressed her against the wall behind her.

Culver pinched her chin and deepened their sudden kiss.

Unlike the last time where he had kissed her in a fit of pique after they had come out of the prison, he was giving her a tender and affectionate kiss at the moment.

Naomi could feel the softness of his thin lips moving against hers. There was a moment where she felt her heart beating for him. Even she herself was nonplussed by her own thoughts.

She wondered why she would have such feelings for him.

She pondered, “It can’t be true! I must have been single for too long.”

“You’ve lost!” A husky male voice sounded from beside her. It wasn’t hard to tell that he was trying to suppress his urge as his voice was so unbelievably sexy and erotic right then.

Naomi, who had been aroused by the kiss, felt that her heart was palpitating.

At last, she pushed him away and made her escape back to her room without saying a thing.

It was not until she had closed the door that her flushed cheeks gradually returned to normal.

She couldn’t help reflecting, “I must have been crazy to compete with him one-on-one in the middle of the night!”

Naomi jumped up and down in the room to cool herself off. Then, she went onto the bed and closed her eyes.

She forced herself to sleep.

She was thinking that all of her feelings, especially the unusual ones for Culver, would be gone by the time she woke up the next day.

…

Meanwhile, the next day, Rachel got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast.

She sat opposite Eddison at the dining table. They ate the sandwiches without saying anything to each other.

He ate very quickly. Soon, he was done and he got ready to leave.

“I’ll be leaving.”

Rachel also stood up as she said, “Wait for me.”

It was only then that Eddison noticed that she was wearing the same uniform as his.

“You-”

Rachel looked at her own clothes. She couldn’t help but feel delighted to have the chance of studying in the same university with Eddison.

“Yesterday, I-”

Rachel unconsciously wanted to share her joy with him. However, before she could speak, he had asked angrily, “Out of so many universities, why did you have to choose the same one as me?”

Rachel was stunned for a moment. The blood drained from her face.

“I didn’t do it on purpose. This was actually-”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Seriously? Then, why didn’t you tell me earlier? You only let me know now. Is it because all the formalities have been settled and I can’t change the result? Rachel, I thought you were a guileless person. Now it seems that I was wrong.”

Rachel felt a lump in her throat as she was really wronged.

“Why can’t you trust me?”

Tears started to overflow from her eyes, making Eddison feel a little uncomfortable. He hurriedly turned his head away.

“Forget it! Have it your way, I’m leaving! By the way, while we’re at the university, you’d better act as if you don’t know me.”

Rachel was trying hard to hold back her tears, “Got it.”
