“Mm, I know you’re not.” His throat bobbed as he reached out to gently stroke her hair. “Just now, I couldn’t help myself.”
The low, seductive voice entered her ears, and Su Zixi felt her cheeks heat up again.
In truth, she should have been angry, should have righteously scolded him, should have... but Su Zixi looked into his smiling eyes and suddenly couldn’t muster any anger at all.
Instead... her heartbeat grew increasingly cheerful.
She cleared her throat and began, “Mr. He, what are you doing here?”
He Jingyao chuckled, “What do you think?”
... Could he have come specifically for her?
“You’re right.” He Jingyao gave her a deep look. “You haven’t left the campus for days; if I wasn’t certain you were safe, I would have gone to your school to fetch you.”
Su Zixi instinctively explained, “I... I’ve been preparing for a competition.”
“Mm, I know.” He Jingyao looked at her dazed expression, and his heart itched.
After a few days without seeing her, this woman seemed even more radiant. Her face, flushed and full of vitality, looked even more enchanting.
Su Zixi nodded earnestly, “Really!”
No matter why Mr. He was so persistent about her, Su Zixi didn’t want him to know about her complicated feelings for Ning Yichen.
After all, he was her future brother-in-law.
“That’s good.” He Jingyao seemed satisfied. Perhaps she wasn’t entirely over Ning Yichen yet, but that was fine. He had plenty of patience.
Su Zixi looked at her watch and said with a troubled look, “Mr. He, I should head back to my dormitory.”
After saying this, she cautiously observed He Jingyao’s expression.
“Jingyao.” The man suddenly said.
Su Zixi was taken aback.
“From now on, just call me by my name.” He grasped Su Zixi’s hand, “Say it once, and I’ll let you go back to school.”
Su Zixi’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she whispered, “Jingyao.”
“I didn’t hear that.” He raised an eyebrow.
“Jingyao... Ah!” Su Zixi called his name again, and to her surprise, the man suddenly leaned in and nipped at her lips.
She covered her sore lips and looked accusingly at the culprit.
