Chapter 186 A Popcorn Massacre.
Loli's laughter filled the room, loud and unstoppable, like she had just heard the funniest joke in the universe.
She clutched her stomach, her entire body shaking as she gasped for air between each fit of giggles.
Meanwhile, Hugo sat completely still, his expression dark and unreadable. He stared at her with a mixture of disbelief and annoyance.
On the outside, he looked calm.
On the inside, however—
'I GOT PLAYED. AGAIN!'
His mind was in full chaos mode. This wasn't just defeat. This was humiliation.
'Why does this always happen?! Why do I keep falling for her traps?! Am I cursed?! Is this my fate?!' Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
His eye twitched as he stared at the evil little gremlin still laughing in his lap. Loli, that adorable menace, had outsmarted him once again.
And to make things worse, she was enjoying it! The sparkle in her eyes, the way she smacked his chest in amusement—she was basking in his suffering!
His mind was already calculating revenge with the precision of a master planner.
'Oh, just wait, Loli. I'm going to repay you with 100% interest, and trust me, I'll enjoy every single second of it.'
This was war.
Something deep inside Hugo snapped. His brain flipped a switch.
If she wanted to play dirty... then he would play dirtier.
'You're going to pay for this,' he thought, imagining every little way he could make her squirm in the next few minutes.
He had lost count of how many times she'd caught him off guard today, but it was clear: payback was coming, and it would be sweet.
A slow, devious smirk curled onto his lips. Loli was still wiping away a tear from her eye when she realized Hugo had gone eerily silent. She blinked, suddenly suspicious.
"Hugo...?"
He didn't answer. He just tightened his arms around her waist and pulled her even closer, locking her in place. His arms wrapped around her like a vice, almost squeezing her into him.
Loli tensed. "What are you doing?"
Hugo leaned in, his voice smooth and calm. "Just... getting comfortable."
'This is it,' he thought, 'Now's my chance to make her regret ever laughing at me.' Before she could protest, he tilted his head and pressed a slow, lingering kiss to her neck.
Loli's body jerked. A visible shudder ran down her spine. Her fingers dug into his arms as she tensed in his hold.
'Got her.'
Hugo smirked internally. Oh, he was 'enjoying' this.
But then—
'She didn't break?!'
Despite the trembling, despite the way she sucked in a sharp breath, Loli clenched her jaw and focused on the penalty kick!
Oh no!
Hugo's smirk vanished. His brain went into full panic mode. She wasn't backing down. She was determined to score!
Goal.
He grinned widely, pumping his fist. "YES! NOTHING CAN STOP ME!" He turned around, flashing Loli the smuggest grin known to mankind. "Did you see that? Did you witness greatness?"
Loli rolled her eyes. "Pfft. That was luck."
Hugo wagged a finger. "No, no. That was skill. That was destiny. That was superior genetics!"
Loli sighed, shaking her head. "God, you're annoying."
"Annoyingly talented."
Loli ignored him and got ready for her next shot.
Hugo cracked his knuckles. "Alright. Your turn. But I hope you're prepared to fail."
Loli smirked. "Oh, I won't fail."
Hugo smirked back. 'We'll see about that.'
As she aimed, he immediately got to work. His lips brushed against her ear, his breath hot and teasing.
He whispered something just flirty enough to make her focus waver. Then, he pressed a tiny, featherlight kiss against her skin—
But Loli?
She powered through.
Swoosh!
Goal.
Hugo's jaw dropped.
Loli turned to him, triumphant. "Oops. Guess I never fail."
Hugo inhaled deeply, shutting his eyes for a brief moment.
This girl...
She was terrifying.
And this battle of distractions?
It was far from over.
