Yan Juexia stared blankly at Li Zhiyin.
Li Zhiyin looked at him kindly.
She was like a bewitching fairy, her indulgent gaze locking him in place, as if as long as he said he wanted to, she could sit with him and agree to all his requests.
It felt like he was being pampered by her.
From the very beginning, she had shown him the most goodwill.
Realizing this, a strange warmth surged through Yan Juexia’s body. He lowered his head and stammered, “I—I—”
Li Zhiyin frowned almost imperceptibly, looking at him as if coaxing a child. “You what?”
Yan Juexia’s damp eyes met her patient smile, and his face flushed even more intensely. “I—”
Xiao Cheng watched him coldly.
Li Xinghao and Li Yanlang were growing impatient.
Say it!
Hurry up and say it!
Yan Juexia’s chest heaved more and more violently, and a trace of panic gradually flickered in his eyes. “I—I don’t want to!”
Li Zhiyin: “?”
Xiao Cheng: “…”
Li Xinghao: “…”
Li Yanlang: “…”
Yan Juexia abruptly stood up, his hands even trembling slightly. He warned Li Zhiyin, “Stay away from me from now on. Don’t come near me again, and don’t buy me anything else. I don’t want to have anything to do with you anymore!”
Xiao Cheng’s eyes widened, a flicker of delight passing through them.
Li Zhiyin was puzzled. “Why? Do I disgust you?”
Shouldn’t this guy already have a good impression of her?
Which step of her friendship-making process had gone wrong?
Yan Juexia didn’t answer. He just glanced at her before turning to leave.
She grabbed his hand. “Wait!”
Yan Juexia trembled all over and turned back in a panic.
Li Zhiyin looked at him curiously. “What about me made you uncomfortable? Can you tell me?”
Yan Juexia froze, his gaze falling helplessly on his tightly held hand.
Li Zhiyin’s hand was much smaller than his, but her fingers gripped him firmly, as if afraid he would leave.
A surge of electricity shot through his body, rushing straight to a certain place!
Yan Juexia’s breath hitched!
Xiao Cheng’s gaze was instantly drawn to a certain spot on Yan Juexia’s leg.
…Wow.
Yan Juexia keenly sensed Xiao Cheng’s gaze and roared angrily, “What are you looking at?!”
Xiao Cheng curled his lips into a smirk, looking shamelessly out the window. “Who’s looking at you? I’m looking at the birds~”
Yan Juexia’s face flushed crimson as he glanced cautiously at Li Zhiyin.
Li Zhiyin looked utterly innocent. “What’s wrong with you?”
Xiao Cheng snorted with laughter.
Yan Juexia felt utterly humiliated. He pulled his hand back and said, “I told you not to bother with me!”
He fled the room in a panic, bumping right into Li Xinghao and Li Yanlang.
The two brothers looked at him in confusion, not understanding what had gotten into him.
But then they noticed something, their gazes suddenly dropping downward.
Li Xinghao’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. “Holy shit, you’re actually hard—”
Yan Juexia roared furiously, “Shut up!!!”
He fled in disgrace!
Li Xinghao: “…”
Li Yanlang: “…”
The two exchanged a glance, a shared understanding lingering in their expressions.
Li Xinghao felt inexplicably annoyed. “We’ve grown up together since childhood, and we’ve never seen Yan Juexia act like this toward anyone. This is the first time.”
Li Yanlang was also displeased. “Of all people to like, he has to like our sister. He usually ignores Wuyou and even holds a grudge against her, but with Li Zhiyin, he ties her tie, says nice things, blushes, and even has—”
He thought of something, his face darkening as he gritted his teeth. “That damn reaction.”Li Xinghao was puzzled, “But ultimately, he likes Li Zhiyin. She didn’t grow up with the two of us, so why do I feel so upset?”
