When she saw his sly and unfathomable gaze, which seemed to illuminate her, the blush on her face deepened.
She winced and cleared her throat. Then, she continued and just went all out with a serious expression. "Right now, do you... like... me even a little bit?"
When she said the last few words, she was barely audible.
The instance she asked that, Mu Yuchen was stunned. His gaze at her suddenly flickered indefinitely and the curve on his lips widened, yet he did not answer her.
When she noticed that he did not answer after a long while, Xi Xiaye frowned. She stared at him without moving. Her expression also shifted as she waited. After that, she just pulled a long face and pushed away his long arms that were wrapped around her shoulders, pulling the blanket to herself and lying down on the bed.
Clearly, she was unhappy!
Mu Yuchen then chuckled. He turned to pull her closer and laughed. "Does anyone ask about that this way?"
