Chapter 107 - Just a Friend (2/2)

”You don't look happy to be here with me. I thought you had forgiven me.” Han Xi chuckled. Ying Sheng rolled her eyes and started eating.

”I never said I had forgiven you. It will take more than sorry for me to forgive you this time.” She shrugged and said nonchalantly.

Han Xi trained his gaze on her, and suddenly she became wary, chewing her food slowly. She averted her gaze, and a blush tainted her cheeks.

”Why is your face suddenly red? Are you sick?” Han Xi asked.

Ying Sheng responded with a few incoherent words and shook her head.

Han Xi raised his brows, but he said nothing. An awkward silence fell between them as they ate quietly.

”You have something here.” Han Xi mumbled she pointed towards the side of her lips. Ying Sheng froze a little before she lifted a napkin off the table to clean whatever was there.

”Is it okay?” Ying Sheng asked once she finished cleaning her mouth.

Ying Sheng's heart fluttered in her chest, and her stomach swarmed with butterflies when she saw his eyes lingering on her lips. She couldn't help but flicker her eyes down to his lips, tempted to kiss him. To confirm if his lips tasted sweet, like how he feels in her dreams.

Han Xi cleared his throat and averted his gaze. He doesn't know what came over him, but he really wanted to kiss her right now.

Was he losing his mind? Why was he having these impure thoughts about her?

”Yeah, it's okay.”

Ying Sheng tucked a strand of hair behind her eyes.

”Thanks”

Ying Sheng replied and focused on her food. She could feel his eyes on her as she ate.

”What?” Ying Sheng asked, looking up.

”That guy… that came to pick you the last time. Are you into him or something?”

”What? No. He is just a friend. He is a good guy, and well- he is the most caring person I have ever met.”

Han Xi took a sip of his wine and stared at her with a puzzled look on his face, seemingly not convinced.
