Chapter 95 - "I Am Crazy"

Lai Jiayi's body stiffened. She could feel Zhao Yang's skin touching her trousers. At this moment, the guy didn't seem to realize it but then, a few seconds after, he knew something was wrong. 

Zhao Yang turned his head to the right and saw his hand on Lai Jiayi's lap. He thought that he was handing the bunny to Lai Jiayi's palm. Yet, it ended in such an awkward position. 

! 

"Ah." Zhao Yang's jaw tensed. He instantly put down the bunny on the girl's lap and retracted his hand as fast as he could, until one couldn't see his hand. 

Zhao Yang then looked away from Lai Jiayi, acting as if he didn't do anything. But, if one looked closer, they would see the guy's face was so red that his neck also turned red. 

'Ah, he is embarrassed.' 

Lai Jiayi thought as she picked Bunnie and carefully tucked it around her trousers belt place. The girl's cheeks were also red, and her chest was pounding hard. Yet she also acted as if nothing was wrong. 

"T-thank you for returning Bunnie's ability…" Lai Jiayi thanked Zhao Yang out of formalities. If she could, she wouldn't speak to the man after such an embarrassing incident. 

'How could he place his palm on my laps?! I thought it's sexual harassment, you know??' 

"Y-yep. No worries." Zhao Yang nodded. He touched the back of his neck as he looked at Tianjin and Yaya, who was making their drinks. He purposely didn't look at Lai Jiayi. 

'Damn it. Why did my hand have to be there– from all places it can get?! What if she thinks I'm sexually harassing her? What if her phobia is triggered?' 

Zhao Yang's face paled. His palms were sweating, and the guy had a dark cloud in his head. 

'I'm done for. This girl will hate me, and I'll be a lowly being.' 

Zhao Yang's eyes darkened. He was thinking of standing up and just took another couch when Tianjin and Yaya unexpectedly returned sooner. 

"Here, master." Tianjin held the ceramic cup of coffee with all of her might. She was swaying as she brought the cup as big as her body. The swan then placed the cup on the table. 

Yaya also followed. He placed the hot chocolate cup in front of Lai Jiayi and slowly trotted over to the girl's lap. 

He instantly plopped down. 

[Ahhh, I'm beat, quack! That cup is so heavy!!] Yaya protested, not knowing that something happened between Lai Jiayi and Zhao Yang. The duck just rolled on Lai Jiayi's lap until the girl flicked his body. 

[Stop rolling. Go, play with Bunnie. I'll turn on her device so play with her.] Lai Jiayi turned on Bunnie's device and shoved the bunny to the duck. The girl then picked them up and placed them quite far from her place. 

This way, no one would disturb her! 

Yaya wanted to protest, but then, Bunnie already clung to him. The rabbit looked at Yaya as if he's the only one she could depend on. After all, she just woke up after such a long time. 

[...uhh, fine, fine, quack!] Yaya grumbled. The duck brought Bunnie to the couch next to Lai Jiayi's couch and started to explain things to her. 

He was focusing on entertaining Bunnie that he didn't see Tianjin was looking at them with suspicion. 

[Master, I'll check on those two. They are suspicious, ] Tianjin spoke as she flew to Yaya's place, once again leaving Zhao Yang behind. 

Zhao Yang could only sigh at the three AI making their own gathering. 

'Just say you don't want to see that duck with that bunny alone. Tianjin, you are not honest.' 

Zhao Yang slanted his lips. He was cursing Tianjin when Lai Jiayi suddenly spoke, 

"A-ah, boss, you don't drink?" The girl pointed at the white coffee cup as she silently thought. 

'How do I get to talk about Biyu?! How the heck can I even speak about my experience?? It's not like I can suddenly say that I'm harassed, here and there, right?!' 

"Oh. Right." Zhao Yang nodded. He took the coffee and inhaled the scent. Though the coffee wasn't a high-quality coffee and the beans might be an artificial one, he still sipped it. 

Lai Jiayi also followed Zhao Yang's action and gulped her hot chocolate drink. The warm and sweet chocolate slowly entered her mouth. She couldn't help but sigh in bliss. 

'Damn, this is good.' 

The girl didn't realize that Zhao Yang was silently looking at her. The guy narrowed his eyes and slowly put down his cup. 

"You like chocolate?" He asked out of the blue. 

"A-ah?" Lai Jiayi paused. The girl put down the hot chocolate glass and smacked her lips. 

"Mm. I-I like it." 

The way she licked her lips to clean the chocolate stain somehow looked a bit unusual for Zhao Yang. He found himself staring at those plump, reddish lips. 

'...I'm crazy.' 

Zhao Yang kneaded his temple. He looked away from Lai Jiayi and sighed. 

"I thought girls your age prefer innovative drinks, alcohol, and tea," Zhao Yang spoke again to divert his mind from staring at the girl's lips. 

"Mmm. I-I don't have money to buy innovative drinks. B-but hot chocolate, w-we can easily make it at home." Lai Jiayi giggled. The girl felt less tense and could relax for a bit. 

The chocolate calmed her mind. She even forgot about her phobia for a few minutes there. 

"We?" Zhao Yang tilted his head. He stared at the girl in interest. "You...and your father?" The man continued. He asked cautiously, in fear of mentioning something sensitive. 

'This girl's father is hospitalized after all. I can't say the wrong things.'
