Who was the cause of her illness? If she hadn’t swum a round in the sea, would she have developed a high fever after a low-grade one? Tao Yu didn’t answer, but her footsteps grew heavier. Yue Linze looked at her angry back, feeling like he was teasing a pufferfish that could turn into a ball at any moment.
How cute…
Yue Linze sighed, feeling he had gone mad these past two days.
Seeing she refused to engage, Yue Linze wasn’t anxious. He followed her leisurely, maintaining a distance, and when she was about to enter the dormitory building, he stepped forward to grab her arm and drag her to a small grove in front of the building.
“What are you doing?!” When her back was thrown against a tree, Tao Yu became upset from the pain.
Yue Linze had one hand propped against the tree trunk above her head, the other tucked in his waist, casually trapping her between himself and the tree: “You’ve been avoiding me these past few days, haven’t you?”
“What do you think?” Tao Yu laughed sarcastically.
Yue Linze stared at her for a while, then said satisfactorily: “You look better when you smile. Don’t always keep a straight face in the future.”
“…I’m keeping a straight face because of you. Let go!” Tao Yu frowned.
Yue Linze, having not seen her for days and finally catching her, naturally wouldn’t let go easily. He gripped her arm: “No.”
She had already shown how angry she was, yet he was still pretending nothing had happened. Tao Yu took a deep breath and coldly said: “Do I need to remind you again? I have a fiancé. I have no feelings for you, never have, never will. Please stop harassing me; it only makes me feel disgusted.”
“Disgusted…” Yue Linze lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze, “Since when does the little prison guard speak so hurtfully? Not cute at all.”
Tao Yu coldly laughed: “I’m only cute in front of people I like. What are you? When I leave this prison, I’ll probably forget who you even are. Let go!”
Her words were few but each one stabbed directly at Yue Linze’s heart. The smile on his face finally faded, his ambiguous gaze lingering on her red lips.
He remembered the taste was good.
