Chapter 87 - True Form (1/2)
Taking advantage of the chance, Yu Mei sneaked out of the room and closed the door behind her.
He narrowed his eyes when he turned around only to find her standing outside the room with a wide grin plastered on her face. After these few days of knowing her, he knew that smile of hers was spelled as trouble. Either she was up to some sort of tricks and mischief or she was hiding something.
”I think it's gone…”
”And what was it?”
”Cockroach? Yeah cockroach,” She cleared her throat before looking at him, ”By the way, you came at the right time,'' Saying that she walked ahead.
”Right time for what?” He followed after her.
She paused and turned around to look at him, ”Well, Zixuan, will you go out on a walk with me?”
He poked her cheek with his index finger, ”Such sophistry. I almost thought you were asking me out on a date.”
She pursed her lips, ”Not a bad idea, we can go out on a date someday,” She smiled at him.
He paused, his gaze remained fixated on her as he asked, ”Can we?”
”Yeah, Friend's dates are trending these days.”
His lips twitched and he pinched her cheek.
”Oww…what was that for…?”
”Humph!” He let go of her cheeks, ”Don't you want to go on a walk? Let's go.”
As they walked on the cobblestone path under warm hues of the dim streetlights, he glanced at her side profile, ”Mei…”
”Hmm?” She turned her head to the side and glanced at him.
I hope you don't keep so many secrets from me. I wish to know you better. He wanted to say that but those words did not come out of his mouth.
Maybe because she had drawn a clear line between them and told him that they could not step on it and at that time he agreed too. So, right now, either he was not willing to go back on his words and make her uncomfortable or he was not sure about what he wanted anymore.
”Why did you want to take a walk?” He asked instead, looking at her curious eyes.
”Well…Can't I?”
”You are a lazy one,” He poked her cheeks.
She rubbed her cheeks and glared at him, ”Do you have a thing with my cheeks? Always poking and pinching them!”
”Doing that is fun,” He chuckled.
”So, why did you come to my room? Did you have something to say?”
He nodded, ”I heard that you ate a lot of meat today and even scolded the servants when it ended.”
”So, are you here to reprimand me for that?” Her fox was literally going crazy for food. When would she get the leisure to scold the servants?
They are just your fangirls treating my like their common enemy.
He shook his head, ”I wanted to ask if you're uncomfortable or sick after eating so much.”
