Ye Xi turned around only to discover that Lu Lingxiao was already standing behind her, seemingly out of nowhere.
The turn was so sudden that the two almost bumped into each other.
In Ye Xi's mind, this was way beyond the safe distance between a man and a woman.
Yet behind her was the kitchen counter, and she was cornered by Lu Lingxiao in the dead space of the counter.
Lu Lingxiao, with one hand in his pocket, looked down at her from above.
Their proximity was close enough for him to see, from top to bottom, Ye Xi's long eyelashes, her beautifully shaped nose, and even the fine fuzz on her cheeks—clear and poreless. Her skin was very good.
Lu Lingxiao lifted Ye Xi's chin with one hand and asked, "Do you think this is interesting?"
Ye Xi was forced to tilt her chin up, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
A flicker of panic passed through her eyes, as she did not grasp what Lu Lingxiao meant with his words.
