Tong Yi frowned and took another two steps to the side. Who was running away? She just didn't want to be so close to him.
Lu Zhanbei's lips curved into a playful smile. He took another two steps closer to her.
Tong Yi walked away again and turned to face Lu Zhanbei. "The police asked you to apologize to the person you injured and plead for reconciliation."
The smile at the corner of Lu Zhanbei's lips faded. His gaze turned to ice and there was a threatening look in his eyes. He said in a low voice, "I won't apologize."
Tong Yi felt that this Lu Zhanbei was a little difficult to deal with. He was calm just a minute ago but in the blink of an eye, he was filled with gloom and rage. His expression changed too quickly.
Lee Yuan said that the Lu Zhanbei in the game would be an accurate portrayal of Lu Zhanbei in real life. Their personalities were supposed to be the same.
However, from the looks of it, their personalities were completely different. What went wrong?
Could she have triggered something when she had entered the game earlier?
"What are you thinking about? You seem pretty engrossed in your thoughts."
His voice floated down from above. Tong Yi looked up. She didn't realize that Lu Zhanbei was standing in front of her again.
Furthermore, wasn't he gloomy just a moment ago? How did he suddenly turn all bright and sunny again?
He was way too temperamental.
Tong Yi took a step back and tried to retreat away from the man. However, she realized that there was a wall behind her and she could retreat no further.
When she was about to step to the side…
Lu Zhanbei placed both hands on the wall behind Tong Yi and looked down at the woman who had nowhere to hide. "Why are you saving me?"
Tong Yi breathed in Lu Zhanbei's distinctly masculine scent. When he spoke, she could feel his warm breath on her face.
Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
Her rapidly beating heart made Tong Yi, who had never been so close to the opposite sex before, feel both unfamiliar and flustered, somewhat at a loss.
She lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze. She swallowed and tried to stay calm. "I'm saving you because you're Lu Moxi's older brother."
Lu Zhanbei's thin lips curved up slightly, and he smiled as if this was not the truth. This sister-in-law of his who had yet to officially enter the family was unusually kind and caring.
The woman's short hair was black and soft. The faint fragrance of her hair was quite pleasant. Lu Zhanbei realized for the first time not all women's bodies smelled cloy.
He subconsciously wanted to get closer.
His body responded to his heart's desires.
Lu Zhanbei lowered his head, closed his eyes, and breathed in lightly.
As a shadow suddenly loomed over her, Tong Yi subconsciously lifted her eyes and saw the man's slightly protruding Adam's apple. It was extremely masculine and it carried with it a dangerous hint of forbidden desire.
As she looked further up, she took in the man's smooth jawline.
Tong Yi had never seen a man so up close before. Her gaze lingered on his lower jaw, not daring to look up. Her heart was thrown into chaos.
She had to ball her fists to prevent herself from losing her composure. She pretended to be calm as she wriggled out from under his arm, away from that suffocating position.
Suddenly, the space in front of him was empty. Lu Zhanbei frowned and retracted his hands that had been against the wall. He stuffed them into his pocket and walked towards the sofa. "I appreciate your kind intentions but I will not apologize."
Tong Yi pursed her lips and did not say anything. Her breathing was unstable and she was afraid that she would reveal her true feelings.
From the corner of her eye, she saw Lu Zhanbei return to his spot on the sofa. He casually crossed his overly long legs on the coffee table once again. His hands were back behind his head and he looked at her with an indifferent and idle look. It was as if he wasn't the one that had been in close contact with her just now.
This man was too carefree.
In comparison, Tong Yi felt that her willpower was too weak and got a bit upset.
She had wanted to save him but he did not seem to care at all and was proving uncooperative.
No matter how good her temperament was, she could not suppress the anger in her heart. "If you're not going to apologize, then just rot here!"
Lu Zhanbei glanced at Tong Yi lazily before closing his eyes. "Take care, I won't see you out."
