Realizing he had been staring at her hand for quite a while, Ning Yichen felt slightly embarrassed. He quickly diverted his gaze, raising his cup and guzzling several sips, only to accidentally choke, coughing frantically!
Upon noticing this, Su Zixi immediately tore off a few tissues to wipe the spill for him, while her other hand patted his back, her tone tinged with mild reproach, "Drink slower."
Ning Yichen struggled to regain composure, but the heat on his cheeks seemed to linger for a long time.
He definitely did not want to lose face in front of this woman, especially when hearing her admonishment. Although he wanted to retort, he felt that nothing he could say would be appropriate. He just put on an indifferent face and gently pushed Su Zixi away.
Su Zixi complied and let go of him, only taking the cup from his hand and handing him a few more tissues.
Ning Yichen silently accepted the tissues, suddenly feeling that this woman was quite adept at taking care of others.
