‘Walking to the living room again, she looked at the relaxed man and asked, “Were you deliberately targeting me in class just now?”
The man on the sofa glanced at Ye Qingcheng with a calm expression and did not answer her question immediately. He took a cigarette from the cigarette box on the coffee table, bit it between his lips, lit it, and narrowed his gentle and dark eyes slightly.
Just as Ye Qingcheng was getting impatient, he said in a gentle voice, “What do you mean?”
Hearing his tone, Ye Qingcheng was furious.
“You’re using your position to take revenge!”
Luo Zhou took a puff of the cigarette and looked at the angry Ye Qingcheng through the smoke.
Ye Qingcheng looked back at him.
Luo Zhou’s tall body leaned against the sofa. His face under the smoke was handsome and refined. He took off his glasses and his gentle eyes were deep and reserved.
He was the one targeting her, but he was calm and elegant as if nothing had happened.
And she was clearly unable to control her anger.
This stark contrast made Ye Qingcheng feel extremely uncomfortable and unnatural.
It was like in their short relationship, she had fallen for him but he was outside of her heart.
Ye Qingcheng was about to say something when she heard him reply calmly, “Do I have a reason to target you?”
Ye Qingcheng was speechless.
He had no reason to target her, but wasn’t he the one who embarrassed her in class?
Seeming to have seen through her thoughts, he flicked the cigarette ash and his clear eyes landed on her charming face. His voice was calm. “You’re not paying attention in class and talking to a male classmate. Your basic pronunciation is not even accurate. Am I deliberately looking for trouble?”
Ye Qingcheng lowered her long eyelashes and stared at her toes, muttering softly, “I didn’t plan to register for this elective class.”
He stood up from the sofa, his tall body standing in front of her with a trace of oppression. “Since you’ve already done it, you have to treat it seriously.”
“If I don’t take attendance, you won’t go this semester, will you?” He took a step closer to her. “I’ll remember the lessons I missed before.”
Ye Qingcheng’s eyes widened.
From the implied meaning in his words, he was not going to let her pass!
“You…” Ye Qingcheng looked up and stared straight into his gentle but cold eyes. The words she wanted to retort were stuck in her throat like a defeated chicken. “I won’t be late or leave early in the future. Can’t I be serious in class?”
Luo Zhou looked at how she had become a little kitten and smiled faintly. “Go to the kitchen and get me a glass of water.”
Ye Qingcheng glared at him secretly.
Did he think he was a servant that could be ordered around?
She had never seen such a shameless person!
But when she thought of the credit, she felt a little guilty.
After all, she had not attended several classes.
Ye Qingcheng walked into the kitchen and boiled a pot of water.
While the water was boiling, she put her hands on the kitchen counter and tiptoed.
Footsteps sounded behind her.
Ye Qingcheng turned back subconsciously and a tall figure entered her sight. The man was wearing a casual shirt and the exquisite fabric outlined his broad shoulders and chest.
The kitchen was not big because he came in looking cramped.
“The water is almost ready. Pour it yourself later.”
Ye Qingcheng wanted to go out, but Luo Zhou blocked the kitchen door.
He had one hand in his pocket and his tall figure blocked the light, giving Ye Qingcheng some pressure.
It was mainly because she had not completely walked out of that deceptive relationship and could not be natural and meaningless in front of him.
“Excuse me, I’m leaving.”
He stood still.
Ye Qingcheng could only look at him again. He was looking down at her, his clear eyes revealing a deep meaning that she could not understand.
In the narrow space, the atmosphere changed slightly.
Ye Qingcheng reminded herself not to be easily charmed by him.
“professor Luo, please move aside!”
Luo Zhou stared at Ye Qingcheng for a few seconds before a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He moved away and she fled in panic.
After walking a distance, Ye Qingcheng finally remembered why she had gone to find him.
She had questioned him to settle the score, but in the end, she was the one at fault!
She really regretted it. If she had gone to the previous classes, she would not have something on him!
Damn bastard, he was still so sinister and cunning!
That night, Ye Qingcheng had a dream.
She dreamed of Luo Zhou.
He stood at the kitchen door. She wanted to go out, but he stopped her.
She put her hands on his chest and kept pushing him. He just looked down at her. Their faces were very close and she could smell the smell of his tobacco, mixed with the faint smell of aftershave and the faint smell of wine… Together, they inexplicably enchanted her heart.
He leaned towards her and bit her earlobe.
He said to her, “Qingcheng, I like you. Come back to me.”
His lips were about to touch hers when someone suddenly shouted by her ear, “Qingcheng!”
Ye Qingcheng opened her eyes.
Her heart was still thumping crazily.
She looked at Peach, who was standing by her bed, and could not tell if it was a dream or reality.
“Qingcheng, class is starting soon. You’ll be late if you don’t get up.”
Ye Qingcheng caressed her forehead. “T’ll get up immediately.”
“Qingcheng, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?”
“No, it might be because I slept too much.”
Ye Qingcheng was not a slow person.
She felt that it was unusual for Luo Zhou to suddenly come to K University.
She was slightly expectant, but she was afraid that it was just wishful thinking.
After being deceived once, there would always be cracks. Just like a broken mirror, even if it was repaired successfully, it could not be restored to its original perfection.
Just before Ye Qingcheng could sort out her thoughts, someone saw Luo Zhou’s girlfriend coming to school.
“We saw Madam. She’s so young and looks so beautiful and cute.”
“And he’s very approachable and doesn’t have any airs!”
“You look so cute walking beside Professor Luo.”
Ye Qingcheng heard the discussion of the other students in the classroom and her hands tightened slightly, a sense of disappointment flashing past her heart.
Hearing a classmate mention that they had appeared in the field, Ye Qingcheng ran out before class started.
She ran to the field but did not see Luo Zhou and his girlfriend.
She walked back.
Before long, she saw a couple by a man-made lake.
The woman beside Luo Zhou was the one she had seen on the day of the video call with Bo Cixue.
She was young, pretty and full of energy.
There was a smile on the girl’s face. Even at a distance, he could hear her bell-like laughter…
