Lai Jiayi had just about to try again before the man really got away when suddenly, she heard a low shocked voice coming from the man beside her.
"Ah."
Lai Jiayi's eyes quickly followed the source of the voice and there…
She saw Zhao Yang's body swayed. His shoes slipped and his body was about to fall to the floor.
?!
Lai Jiayi didn't know what ghost takes over her body, but with her superb reflex, she subconsciously pivoted around.
Using her left hand, the girl caught the man's waist, and at the same time, the mop in her right hand loosened.
PRAK!
The sound of the mop hitting the floor echoed throughout the corridor, followed by two AI's shocked faces. Their jaws hit the floor in a second.
SWAAA….
Time seemed to stop for everyone in the place. Lai Jiayi froze on the spot, and her eyesight was filled with the face of someone looking like a real anime character.
BA-THUMP!
Lai Jiayi's breath stilled, and her eyes widened. In front of her was the sight of the number 1 modern prince in the country.
She stared at his dark, cold-looking black hair, the color of the darkness. Like a miracle, sunlight shone through the faraway glass wall, landing on the man's hair.
His hair swayed slightly as the sunlight covered his jet black hair, giving unnecessary sparkle like one in the manga. As if it's not enough, the sunlight also chose to illuminate the man's face.
Two pairs of sharp, cold blue eyes were staring at her with a hint of shock inside.
This wasn't the first time Lai Jiayi saw someone with blue eyes, but for an unknown reason, the moment her eyes met those pair of sapphire-like eyes…
Her soul seemed to be sucked away. Those eyes with the color of the dark, deep ocean looked somewhat cold and lonely like ice in the winter. Strangely, it's such a fit with his dark jet black hair.
Added with super white, smooth, porcelain-like skin, the title of a modern prince: the prince of technology really wasn't just a title.
Black hair, sharp blue eyes with that gaze of an eagle, haughty and untouchable.
He really looked like a prince of a demon clan coming straight from a fairytale, and that slightly pale, thin lips are only adding more appeal to his already dazzling face.
Lai Jiayi felt like her whole body was trapped under a curse of a fairytale. She couldn't move her eyes away, and the same goes for the man.
A few seconds ago.
Zhao Yang didn't know what happened, but just as he felt that he's about to fall from the slippery floor, a thin, fragile hand caught him.
Then the next moment, he saw a sliver of brown hair, and very quickly, his gaze was filled only with a girl's amber eyes.
She was looking at him with widened eyes, looking shocked to the core.
The girl was wearing an ugly green medical mask so he couldn't really see her face, but that pair of eyes...was what made him stay still.
Their face was so close, around 20 centimeters or so, that he couldn't help but notice her eyes right away.
Time seemed to freeze for him as those honey-like eyes reminded him of the eyes...of a certain girl. A certain someone he loved so much before losing her completely.
Those pair of almond-shaped eyes, with honey color, looked 99% similar to his deceased girlfriend's eyes.
'Jia...Biyu? Is that you?'
At the same time, Lai Jiayi's dark brown wavy hair fell softly on her back as it's tied in a ponytail. Her bang was parted sideways, showing her snow white smooth forehead.
'Beautiful.'
The two seemed to freeze for a few seconds, completely immersed in their own world, admiring both party's beauty but not with the two AI.
Especially Tianjin.
The moment she saw a mere cleaning service dare to touch her master's waist, she erupted.
"You– you! Let my master go!!" Tianjin shouted but to no avail as Yaya, who was already gone from his hiding place, suddenly covered her mouth with his wings.
The duck glared with his pair of round little eyes as he threatened in a low voice,
"Shut up, quack!" Yaya shouted. He even went as far as dragging the swan to hide behind the plant pot and pressed her back to the pot.
??!!
Tianjin didn't know what to do, and steam rose from her head. Her system seemed to be overworked, but Yaya didn't have any time to pay attention to this.
His eyes were glued to the sight of a young girl holding a grown-up man's waist as the man was half-standing, half-falling.
The plan was a mess, their role was reversed, but it's still a good chance!
'Lai Jiayi, do your best! Quick! Charm him with your pretty face!' He encouraged the girl.
The duck completely forgot about the damn mask hiding Jia's face.
Yaya was so excited, but Lai Jiayi, who had just snapped awake from the spell, felt the other way. Her hand on the man's waist suddenly froze.
'T-this...w-what's going on??'
Lai Jiayi could feel her skin was crawling, her brain exploded, and her whole body trembled as a response to this unbelievable sight.
'I...didn't fall? The one falling was Zhao Yang instead? Eh, eh?'
'Wait, then what am I doing now?'
Confused, Lai Jiayi looked down to see her left hand was holding the man's waist tight as her right hand was touching his left shoulder, firmly holding onto the guy so he wouldn't fall.
As a result, the guy was entirely in her embrace.
'...hm? Eh? I'm holding a man?'
Lai Jiayi's head spun around. Scene after scene of her bad experience in the past came to her mind.
'! No!!'
The next second, just as Zhao Yang was about to support himself, Lai Jiayi let go of her hands.
BRAK!
Yaya: (゜.゜)
Others: (」゜ロ゜)」
'….WHAAAAT??'
