"Wait, why do I need someone to babysit me? I promise I can handle myself. Just point me in the direction of where I need to go, and I'll be just fine. I've been a top student in middle school and even a class monitor multiple times. It's not rocket science, you know. Please, I really don't want another weirdo hanging around."
But before Aiyu could finish her plea, Xi Feng swiftly covered her mouth, muffling her protests. She tried to pry his hand away, making muffled sounds of protest, but his grip was no doubt very strong.
"I must have seriously ticked off his entire extended family in a past life to deserve this torture," she thought, giving up on removing his hand and resigning herself to his presence with a frustrated scowl.
"Hello," he answered the call, his voice dripping with an icy tone. Aiyu, eager to listen in, quickly stood on her tiptoes, holding up to the D.D.D to catch the conversation between them . "Where are you, Ma Yun?" Xi Feng questioned, his voice firm. "Come here, I have a task for you." Before Ma Yun could utter a word in response, Xi Feng abruptly ended the call.
There's no way he's talking about the Ma Yun I met before. But compared to this man he was even more bothersome , ugh! What a nuisance , Aiyu thought with disdain.
As Xi Feng lowered the phone from his ear, ready to return it to Aiyu, he kept his left hand firmly covering her mouth. She was still in the midst of eavesdropping when he turned, causing her to nearly lose her balance. Luckily, he swiftly caught her by the waist with his right hand, all while still clutching the phone. In that unexpected moment, their eyes locked, and neither could look away. With a deadpan expression, Xi Feng broke the silence, still gazing into her eyes from such a close distance. "well, little lamb, it seems I can finally be free of you," he remarked, unable to hide a mischievous grin.
Aiyu mentally growled at him, " who gave him the right to call me with such weird nicknames whenever he pleases . How annoying! "
In a moment of spontaneous rebellion, she bit his hand, leaving Xi Feng completely shocked. He didn't feel any pain, but he quickly withdrew his hand, looking at it in disgust. "Eww!" he exclaimed, waving his hand in the air to get rid of the germs from her mouth.
Just as Xi Feng's eyes landed on Ma Yun's presence in front of them, he immediately straightened up and adopted a serious posture. Aiyu, on the other hand, acted clueless and pretended to look around.
Ma Yun, with mischievous eyes, lowered his gaze and teased, "Lu Xi Feng, did I just witness a lovey-dovey moment?"
