Chapter 339 - Pitiful Old Man (1/2)

Jun Zixuan quietly glanced at Yu Mei without responding to her question.

When she could not process her brother's thought process, how would he? She thought. ”I want some space. Can you leave me alone here for some time?” She asked without looking at him.

Hearing the sounds of retreating footsteps, Yu Mei tilted her head to the side and glanced at his retreating back from the corner of her eyes.

Stepping towards book shelves, she stopped infront of the long tables. She took a seat on the chair before placing her head on the table as she glanced at the wall.

When she came across Han Jian Yu for the first time after waking up in this body, she did not feel anything was amiss. But as time passed by, she started to notice a few things.

''Vulnerable?” He glanced at the foot that just kicked him before rolling his eyes. ''Take the hot chocolate,'' he patted her head.

''I am not a dog.''

He chuckled before passing the white mug to her, ''Drink it. And as for the rest of the things... It is better that he knows. We don't have to play hide and seek anymore.''

She paused for a moment before taking it from his hand quietly.
