Chapter 28 - WOULD YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND? (1/2)

”Why are you always butting in my business?”

Luo Jingyi waited for his answer. Ever since coming to this world, her patience has thinned considerably, especially towards men. She sat on her chair and faced the man.

He appeared to be unfazed and returned her chilling stare with a softer look that was a lot warmer than hers.

'Seriously, what's wrong with him? He looked like a love-struck idiot.'

”Why are you always angry? Or you are just moody because it's that time of the month? You know—that female thing.” He asked. He was scratching the back of his head.

Luo Jingyi scowled.

”See, you are frowning again.”

”No, I'm not.”

”Yes, you are.” He insisted after hearing her defensive tone.

”Will you stop it?”

Yun Jinghan wanted to continue irritating her but seeing how badly her face was contorted at the moment, he stopped. Instead, he winked at her. He didn't understand himself as well. He found it amusing to vex her. He leaned forward.

Luo Jingyi sensed danger coming when he stepped closer to her desk thus, she pushed the chair back and warned, ”Don't take a step closer.”

”What's wrong?”

Normally, Luo Jingyi wouldn't respond to questions about herself. Perhaps, it was the hint of concern on his expression that made her utter the next words.

”I just don't like being touched. Touch me five seconds longer, I will have a panic attack.”

Yun Jinghan was surprised. It dawned him that what happened earlier could have resulted in much worse if she didn't wriggle out from his grasp. Being regretful of his own actions, he moved three steps back to widen the distance between them. He apologized sincerely. There was no longer playfulness in his tone. A soft expression settled on Luo Jingyi's face but it vanished a few seconds later. This made him realize something.

”Now, can you answer my question?” She put forth.

”You needed a saving. That's all. Moreover, you obviously didn't want to meet this guy.” He answered with a shrug. He wondered what reason she has for wearing that thick armor around people. One could mistake her as a stiff person but closely observing her, she didn't seem to be that. He noticed how she interacted with the patients earlier, she was smiling even at the patient's silly joke, which he thought were the most beautiful ones he'd ever laid his eyes on.

”I could have managed on my own. I didn't need your help.”

”Oh, how would you have done it?” He quizzed.

She crossed her arms in front of her before muttering, ”I don't have to tell you.”
