"Alright, you can study in peace now..." Wang Xiao said with a smirk, standing up after a few minutes of thoroughly 'harassing' her.
"…"
Yue looked up at him, eyes wide and watery, cheeks flushed as she rested her head on the table, lips forming a small, helpless pout. She looked like a scolded kitten, adorably flustered and unable to do more than stare at him with a confused, almost pleading look.
"Peace…?" she mumbled under her breath, barely a whisper. How was she supposed to study in peace now? Every spot he'd touched was tingling, her skin practically burning with heat she couldn't shake off.
Wang Xiao had just wanted to see how she'd react… but instead of getting flustered or resisting, she'd been too stunned to even protest.
Her dazed expression left him unexpectedly thrown off, and with an awkward little excuse, he turned and left.
