Xiao Zhiren came back to her side with a bottle of water in hand. He twisted the cap while sitting beside her on the floor and passed her the bottle.
Ru's eyes were stuck to each and every movement of his. As if she was trying to etch it in her memory. And it did. The way this long legs wrapped in cotton pants strode around, the way his eyes focused while his slender but strong fingers twisted the cap of the plastic bottle. All of it got stuck in her memory.
Sensing her gaze on himself, Xiao Zhiren didn't feel flustered at all. Instead, he felt something rippling inside his heart. With the exact same shamelessness as she had, he said, "I know I'm handsome. No need to be starstruck."
Ru almost spurted the water out of her mouth that was yet to be swallowed. It took a bit of effort to shove that water down her throat. "Lofty much?" She raised a single brow at him whether it was in sarcasm or amusement only she could tell.
