C28 (1/2)
Luo Yi sat obediently on the chair, holding the mouth that Lin Ting had just bought for her that was still steaming hot. She looked down and took a bite, obediently looking at Lin Ting like a child waiting for a compliment.
Lin Ting smiled until his eyes were bent, then patted her head and as a reward, he intentionally pursed his lips towards Luo Yi.
Tang Yuan took a sip of his tea. He was well aware of her situation, but he didn't say anything.
Luo Yi quietly looked up and apologized: ”I was wrong.”
She wrinkled her nose. Because her head was still lowered, the slight lifting of her eyes made her look very pitiful, let alone the fact that she sounded so soft as if she was about to pinch water.
Lin Ting was speechless for a moment.
Luo Yi worked even harder, and after eating the snacks in her hands in a few bites, he carried the warm hand furnace beside him and acted miserably towards Lin Ting, ”I'm cold.”
”…”
Until now, Lin Ting could not release such a huge amount of rage, even if everyone present knew that Luo Yi was trying to make them soften his heart.
He glared at Luo Yi, and stuffed his hand furnace into Luo Yi's arms as well. ”Who asked you to wear such a thin piece of clothing?”
Luo Yi lowered her head and looked at her round and plump body, and said with his conscience: ”Right, it's all my fault that I'm wearing such thin clothes.”
She squinted her eyes and smiled, but she understood in her heart that Lin Ting might be able to tolerate her joking and fooling around with small matters like these, but when it came to matters of principle, he would not easily retreat.
Indeed.
”Nonsense!” His face was flushed red from anger. He paced around the room a few times, his gaze also drifting about, as if he was looking for something. In the end, he furiously threw a book at Luo Yi.
Luo Yi subconsciously pulled back her shoulders, but the book did not land on her at all. She quietly opened her eyes a little and saw that the second before the book was about to fall out of her hands, Lin Ting had tightened her fingers, and with a ”pa” sound, she landed heavily on the ground.
”Lin Ting...”
Luo Yi was silent for two seconds, then carefully took a step forward to pull his sleeve, but the moment her hand touched the cloth, it was pulled out by the man's sleeve.
Lin Ting was so angry that he laughed instead. After he sat back down on his chair, even his voice had lowered by a few degrees. Taking advantage of the ice and snow outside, he appeared to be in good condition, ”Don't call me! You dare to follow a stranger to the Northern Tribes?! You... ”You …”
It was as if he could not think of a suitable word to describe the words. He paused for a long time on the word ”you” before gritting his teeth in mockery, ”You are so useless!”
He hated Luo Yi for acting so boldly and rashly, and also hated herself for not finding out about what she had done in secret until now. However, she was reluctant to hit her, so she could only scold her a few times, but she just couldn't let her anger go …
When he saw Luo Yi showing her weakness to him, a wave of fear suddenly rose in his heart, causing the anger in her chest to grow even stronger. Then, this anger, mixed together with her fear, turned into a sneer when it reached her mouth.
Lin Ting turned his head to the side. He probably felt that it was too much and closed his eyes again, unwilling to look at Luo Yi again.
He didn't even dare to recall the feelings he had when he heard from Tang Yuan that the little girl had secretly gone to the Northern Army without him knowing!
As Lin Ting thought about this, the undulations in his chest became more violent than before, and he couldn't help but let out a sneer.
Just now, Yi Qiannan had something on and wanted to leave early. Before he left, he did not forget to ask Tang Yuan if he wanted to go with him, ”My power is …”
He moved his doggy legs closer to Tang Yuan and said, ”Only if you've been there will you have earned this reputation.”
Luo Yi was about to fall asleep, but when she heard these words, he instantly sobered up. She raised her head and stared at Tang Yuan, looking even more expectant than Yi Qiannan.
Although he would be sentenced sooner or later, before that, Luo Yi still wished that he could live for a while longer.
However, Tang Yuan automatically ignored the two pairs of eyes that were shining with anticipation. He glanced at Luo Yi out of the corner of his eyes, then coldly said: ”Thanks, I won't bother Young Master Yi anymore.”
Luo Yi and Yi Qiannan drooped their eyelids in disappointment at the same time. The only difference was that Yi Qiannan was disappointed because he was missing a chance to spend time with a beauty, while Luo Yi's disappointment contained the despair of a great calamity.
She shrank back into her chair and watched as Lin Ting patiently sent her off at the door, still not giving up. She then repeated the question she had just asked several times, but she could only get the same answer from Yi Qiannan in the end, in an attempt to infinitely reduce the feeling of her existence.
Thankfully, Tang Yuan was not very clear about what exactly had happened to her in the Northern Tribes, and he was also worried that Lin Ting would really hit her when he was extremely angry, so he only told her about Luo Yi's two months with other people in the Northern Army. As for the miserable state she was in when he picked her up, as well as her state of being neither human nor ghost during these three months, he did not say a single word.
It was also because of this that Luo Yi was able to stand in front of Lin Ting and quietly beg for forgiveness at this moment, ”Back then, I was also forced to such a state … Furthermore, look at me, I have returned safely! ”
She shook Lin Ting's arm, trying to calm him down. ”So don't be angry anymore …”
”Not angry?” Lin Ting suddenly interrupted: ”It's all thanks to your good luck, if you had really met with mishaps over there …”
He stopped, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.
He closed his eyes and refused to speak further. Luo Yi was helpless against him, she pulled on her sleeves and begged for mercy, but she did not see any signs of relief from the man in front of him.
Tang Yuan turned his head and pretended not to see it.
This girl had been spoiled too much in the past few years and had dared to charge up against all kinds of dangerous things. If she didn't take this opportunity to teach him a lesson, who knew what kind of trouble she would create in the future?
