Mo Chuxi’s deep, threatening voice made Yan Xinxin’s whole body tense up.
However, as she thought about the fact that this was the campus area—if someone were to see Mo Chuxi holding her, the two of them tucked away in such a secluded spot—it would undoubtedly be impossible to explain away!
Even if their relationship had already long become impossible to explain...
Yan Xinxin shook her head lightly and raised her small hand to forcibly pry away Mo Chuxi’s hand covering her mouth.
The hand was pushed away, but Yan Xinxin still felt his arm around her waist tightening more and more instead.
"Mo Chuxi, let me go now!"
Yan Xinxin struggled with all her might.
"First, you’re trying to suffocate me; now you’re trying to strangle your own daughter too, huh?!"
The moment the words fell, Yan Xinxin suddenly felt Mo Chuxi release her.
She quickly took the opportunity to slip out of his arms and stepped back, turning around.
Raising her gaze, what she saw was Mo Chuxi’s cold and indifferent poker face.
Even though the sunlight at that moment was warm, his aura remained utterly chilly.
"Teacher Mo, this is a campus area. Please, don’t frighten me—I have a weak heart."
Hearing this, Mo Chuxi lifted his deep gaze, his eyes fleetingly sweeping over Yan Xinxin’s outfit at the moment.
Short sleeves, shorts, with sunlight gilding her soft, fair skin in a layer of golden light, making her complexion even more radiant.
"A weak heart? Hmm? Yan Xinxin, why can’t I seem to see that you’re faint-hearted?"
Mo Chuxi took a stride forward, and Yan Xinxin instinctively wanted to retreat, but in an instant, Mo Chuxi grabbed her waist and swiftly pulled her into the blind corner between two buildings, just as Yan Xinxin realized someone was walking past nearby.
"Did you see that? Xu Nuo skipped class and went to the sports field!"
"I heard he went there to cheer for Yan Xinxin during her long run!"
"Whoa! Isn’t that way too sweet!"
"I’ve been saying all along they’re together!"
Yan Xinxin was enveloped in Mo Chuxi’s arms, her cheek pressed against his chest, surrounded by the clean, refreshing scent lingering on him.
However, Yan Xinxin was nowhere near indulging in the moment. The conversation from the girls who had just passed by was like an announcement sentencing her to a lifetime in hell!
Even though it was already summer, Yan Xinxin now felt as if ice were encasing her entire body.
"Ancheng University’s top heartthrob, Xu Nuo, and the pure campus belle, Yan Xinxin—they’ve long been together, and it’s always been a secret relationship, huh?"
Mo Chuxi’s icy voice resonated above her head.
Yan Xinxin’s delicate frame stiffened.
"That’s all baseless talk! I’m not with Xu Nuo!"
She raised her luminous eyes, emphasizing firmly.
Mo Chuxi’s lips curved in a faint, mocking smile before his sharp gaze locked onto hers.
"Then tell me—why has someone captured a photo of him holding you and getting into a car together?"
Yan Xinxin froze, dumbstruck, as she saw Mo Chuxi’s gaze gradually darken, inching closer to her.
"Photographed without notice? And you didn’t even know while cozying up in his arms?"
"You’re spouting nonsense!"
Yan Xinxin protested, indignantly stretching her slender neck in defiance.
"Mo Chuxi, stop putting imaginary horns on your own head! Aside from you, I haven’t had intimate contact with any other man!"
"Oh? Did you forget about the man who got you pregnant five years ago?"
She hadn’t anticipated Mo Chuxi would mention that man from five years ago, and Yan Xinxin froze in place.
"Yan Xinxin, you really aren’t behaving yourself."
"That’s right! I’m disobedient! Because you’re so hateful!"
Yan Xinxin’s eyes rimmed red with anger, yet she stood her ground, resisting and retorting fearlessly.
"Mo Chuxi, listen to me—I refuse to be obedient! So don’t even think about controlling me. I’m heading over right now for my 800-meter test; I’m going to bully your daughter!"
