And that's exactly how Qin Jiran felt towards Su Yanyi!
By the time Qin Jiran had composed himself and returned, Su Yanyi was already seated in a chair nearby, looking at him with a playful and provocative expression. It seemed a mix of teasing banter and discerning scrutiny, somewhat profound and somewhat intoxicating!
Qin Jiran knew that such a look from Yanyi meant she was well aware of all his recent reactions, which made him slightly uncomfortable as he halted in his steps. His voice was a bit hoarse as he said, "Yanyi, what are you looking at?"
"I'm naturally looking at you," Su Yanyi didn't try to hide it; instead, her gaze became even more straightforward, making Qin Jiran even more uneasy.
"Looking at what about me?" Qin Jiran stiffened and feigned innocence in an attempt to normalize the atmosphere a bit.
"You're playing dumb on purpose." Su Yanyi's tone rose playfully, the teasing intent even more apparent.
