âFor things like hitting people, thereâs no need to do it yourself.â He Jingyao looked at her reddened palm with distress, then suddenly bent down and kissed her burning hand.
Su Zixi felt a slight tingle in her palm and instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but she couldnât.
She looked into He Jingyaoâs deep eyes, and suddenly, a strange warmth swept through her heart.
Her heartbeat suddenly became chaotic.
She quickly said, âItâs nothing, itâll be fine in a bit. Su Lianxiâs face is swollen anyway. Too bad I didnât have nails, otherwise, it wouldâve been great to scratch her face.â
He Jingyao chuckled lightly, âDo you know what the best way to get revenge is?â
Su Zixi was taken aback, âWhat?â
âLet her get something that doesnât belong to her, let her greed swell, and then take it all away.â He Jingyao said meaningfully.
Su Zixiâs eyes widened.
âLetâs go eat first.â He Jingyao couldnât help but ruffle her hair again.
â¦
Su Zixi stood at the entrance of Xinwei Pavilion, seeing the small restaurant, which was usually popular among students, surrounded by more than a dozen bodyguards, her expression became a bit strange.
He Jingyao, however, looked as calm as ever, holding her hand as they walked in and casually finding a place to sit.
Su Zixi felt a bit embarrassed, quickly taking out a napkin to wipe the table. In such a small restaurant, the hygiene conditions were just average. The pampered Master He would surely find it very uncomfortable, right?
In hindsight, she should have suggested a more upscale restaurant.
Su Zixi thought with annoyance.
He Jingyao watched her diligent actions, the corners of his lips curling up as he leisurely observed her.
As Su Zixi bent over to wipe the table, the neckline of her dress opened up, giving He Jingyao a clear view of the scenery.
His gaze gradually darkened, and his previously relaxed hands subtly moved.
Su Zixi didnât notice a thing.
After she finished wiping the table and sat down, she happened to meet the deep, dark eyes of Master He.
Her heart immediately skipped a beat.
âWhatâs wrong?â she asked cautiously.
He Jingyaoâs gaze remained fixed on her chest, his voice slightly hoarse, âNothing.â
Following his gaze, Su Zixi looked down, finally noticing that her neckline had somehow dropped significantly, revealing her cleavage.
Her face turned red, and she quickly grabbed her neckline to pull it up!
Then, she noticed Master He seemed to show a hint of regret.
She was both ashamed and angry but didnât know what to accuse him of. After stewing in her frustration for a moment, she couldnât help but ask, âMaster He, what is it that you want exactly?â
Why was he so persistent with her? What did he ultimately want from her?
As for love at first sight⦠if a naive schoolboy said it, she might believe him, but if Master He said it, she wouldnât dare to believe it.
âHmm?â He Jingyao raised an eyebrow slightly, looking a bit puzzled, âHavenât I made myself clear enough?â
Su Zixi was stunned, her face full of confusion.
He Jingyao looked deeply at her, the corners of his lips curling up, âSit next to me, and Iâll tell you.â
Without much thought, Su Zixi stood up, ready to sit opposite him, but seeing the amused glint in Master Heâs eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
It felt like⦠he was looking for an opportunity to tease her. What should she do?
If she sat next to him, it seemed easier for him to do whatever he wantedâ¦
Su Zixi became conflicted once again.
