"I didn't mean to drop it," Aiyu said, her voice barely above a whisper. "It was already on the floor when I saw it...
Next time, please be aware that you can't just walk anywhere you please, especially in this corridor." Xi Feng replied, turning his head slightly as he spoke in a soft yet serious tone.
"Go back to the study we were in before, I'll join you in a moment." Aiyu searched for any signs of what she had done wrong. She couldn't shake the feeling of guilt, even though she hadn't committed any wrongdoing.
There was something about Xi Feng's demeanor that made her feel uneasy. She nodded silently and left the room. Xi Feng shifted his gaze back to the book, gently caressing its pages.
"Youxi," he whispered, his voice filled with concern and deep emotion.
As he rose to his feet, he surveyed his surroundings with a perplexed expression.
" How had the book found its way here, away from the sanctuary of his chamber? "
The furrowed lines on his forehead hinted at his confusion.
"Was he overly concerned about cleanliness, to the point of being bothered by my presence in this space? Is he a clean freak like uncle Shen yu ?? "
Aiyu pondered, sinking into the plush couch in the study and absentmindedly stroking her chin.
"Ahh the intensity of his frown sent shivers down my spine, as if he could consume me whole. But to my surprise, he released me gently it's wierd but It should bring you relief Aiyu , I suppose, that I am still alive, despite his peculiar behavior. Ever since our encounter, he has been an enigma ."
"But seriously, that book was too good to put down. How am I supposed to survive a whole year stuck in this place without my phone, my beloved novels, my mom's delicious cooking, my friends, and most importantly,
*sigh*
Xiao Yiheng!
(She shifts on the couch, expressing her sadness)
Oh well, at least this couch is super comfy.
( relaxes again) I mean, seriously, this material is like heaven! " ( squeezing the arms of the couch, reveling in the comfort)
"Ouch! "
Xi Feng forcefully snatches his blazer from the couch, yanking it and disturbing poor Aiyu's position.
