C262 – The Blushing Ann Yichen
Loong Xiaoyi: “What’s the hurry? We’ve got plenty of time.”
Ann Yichen’s demeanor swiftly became icy, “What are you implying? Have you grown weary of me?”
Upon hearing this, Loong Xiaoyi chuckled and tenderly stroked Ann Yichen’s face, saying, “Impossible. You’ve been quite occupied lately, haven’t you? Later on, I need to attend to some matters, but for now, I’ll stay by your side a bit longer before driving you.”
Initially upset, Ann Yichen relaxed upon hearing these words.
“Fine! But remember, next time you try to escape, I won’t let you off so easily.”
“My only fear was that you’d be the one to leave.”
With a smile, Ye Zichen scooped up Ann Yichen and carried him to the bedroom.
Suddenly, Ann Yichen became silent, merely gazing at Loong Xiaoyi.
“What’s the matter?” inquired Loong Xiaoyi, filled with curiosity.
Ann Yichen turned away, pridefully commenting, “It’s nothing. I’ve just noticed you’ve grown up a lot since five years ago. You used to be so naive, pestering me daily after that incident with the Forbidden Fruit. Now, you seem to understand me better.”
“I see! So, you’re saying you can’t help but think of me during your classes!”
Loong Xiaoyi’s grin widened, knowing that the classroom where Ann Yichen taught was also where they had their misadventures.
Ann Yichen’s cheeks turned red, perhaps acknowledging the truth in Loong Xiaoyi’s words. Memories of their past deeds flooded his mind, as vivid as yesterday.
“You’re blushing! What’s the matter?” Loong Xiaoyi teased, knowingly.
He then playfully pushed Ann Yichen down and lifted his chin, forcing eye contact, all the while smiling.
Ann Yichen swatted his hand away, saying anxiously, “It’s nothing, I just want to sleep,” before covering himself with the blanket, possibly continuing to blush underneath.
He was endearingly shy, a contrast to his earlier boldness.
“If you’re nostalgic, I wouldn’t mind dressing up in a school uniform for a little role-play. How does that sound?”
Peeking under the quilt, Loong Xiaoyi proposed the idea with a charming smile.
Ann Yichen couldn’t resist Loong Xiaoyi’s captivating smile and fell for the suggestion.
“Well, I suppose I can indulge you this once, if you insist.”
His voice carried its usual haughtiness, yet it was clear he was teetering on the edge of capitulation.
