Chapter 303 – Great God, I heard you’re going to travel a thousand li to deliver (37)
Her hand was soft and smooth, like silk.
—Damn.
So close. He wanted to lick it even more.
He couldn’t look away.
What now?
He stared at that hand, then slowly shifted his gaze up to the person’s face.
She was quietly listening to the conversation on the other side, occasionally responding softly, but her gaze was on him.
She still seemed to be listening to the murmuring voice over there, but Fang Shi wasn’t paying attention anymore. His entire focus was on the person in front of him.
He couldn’t look away.
He saw her nod slightly, her eyes carrying a lazy hint of amusement. Her lips parted as she mouthed a word to him—
—”Be good~”
Be good…?
A rush of warmth spread from where she held his fingers, surging through his body before pooling in his cheeks and ears.
Yan Luo’s hand seemed to unconsciously squeeze his fingertip.
His face felt like it was exploding.
A sense of helplessness, completely thrown off balance.
Then, the female voice on the other side stopped, and Yan Luo spoke.
“So Professor means that if I agree to reconciliation, Yan Yuqi won’t be given a demerit?”
Yan Yuqi? Standing beside her, Fang Shi silently memorized the name.
Yan Luo let out a soft laugh, laced with mockery. “That’s what you’re saying, but, Professor, reconciliation isn’t necessary, is it? After all, the surveillance footage captured everything clearly. Just follow the school rules, no more, no less, no personal biases. Otherwise, what’s the point of having rules? If everyone just reconciles, then why even have them?”
The Professor hesitated slightly before speaking again. “Yan Luo, you know your family’s situation. I’ll be honest. I don’t like that child either. But even if you refuse to reconcile, the school won’t punish her much.”
“Mm, I know, Professor. You don’t need to worry about that.” Yan Luo’s voice was calm. “Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”
Ending the call, she casually tossed her phone aside, leaned back lazily, and finally let go of his fingers.
Fang Shi was still lost in that feeling, not quite coming back to himself. He took two steps forward, unconsciously pressing his fingertip into her palm.
Fang Shi: …
Yan Luo : …What? Still not done?
She pinched his fingertip again, and he snapped back to reality, jolting as if electrocuted, quickly pulling his hand back.
Yan Luo picked up a bowl of brown sugar water and sipped it slowly, watching as a certain someone, desperate to make his presence known, hovered restlessly around her.
“Cold water? What do you mean, cold water? Someone poured cold water on you? Who was it? Do you still feel unwell? Should I go buy you some medicine?”
So this is what they meant by ‘concern makes one irrational’. Fang Shi had never understood that phrase before, until he met her. Especially now, looking at her pale face, he truly felt like he was losing control.
“I’m fine.” Yan Luo drank half the bowl of brown sugar water and spoke. “Old issue. I have medicine. You don’t need to worry.”
But looking at herr face, there’s no way he could be at ease.
She turned the bowl slightly, taking another unhurried sip. Feeling a little warmer, she finally lifted her gaze, tilting her eyes at him.
“You’ve seen me, you’ve said what you needed to say, and it’s getting late. When are you planning to leave?”
Fang Shi hesitated for a moment.
Mm. He had no intention of leaving at all.
With his head lowered, he didn’t hesitate for long before looking up, his expression carrying a hint of pitiful innocence.
“It’s too far from my place… There are no more buses… Can I stay…?”
