“By the way, did you catch a cold when you went back yesterday?” Contrary to the cold attitude he had towards Qiao Hongmei, Ning Yiyuan’s eyes were filled with concern as he looked at Mo Chu. He stretched out his hand and was about to place it on Mo Chu’s forehead. He wanted to see if her temperature was normal.
“No!” Just as Ning Yiyuan raised her hand, Mo Chu immediately jumped back a few steps like a frightened rabbit. Ning Yiyuan did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this adorable look. This girl was acting like this, if others saw this, they would really think that he had done something to her!
“I just want to care about you.” The corners of Ning Yiyuan’s mouth curled up, and his face seemed to have softened a lot.
“Thank you.” Mo Chu lowered her head, not quite used to Ning Yiyuan’s solicitude. “But there’s no need. I still have something to do, so I’ll go first.”
Before Mo Chu could finish his words, Ning Yiyuan suddenly strode toward her. He took a few steps and forced her into a corner before giving up.
No need? Was this girl just going to reject him with these two words?
Looking at the girl in his arms, Ning Yiyuan took a deep breath and took this opportunity to speak. “Mo Chu, you know what I’m thinking, right?”
Mo Chu did not answer. Her head was almost buried in his collar. However, even so, she could not hide the tipsiness on her face. Ning Yiyuan had a strong desire to move his hands. With a slight movement of his fingertips, his large palm caressed her face, the touch was as beautiful as he had imagined. It was delicate and gentle. He was suddenly worried that his rough fingertips would hurt her face.
“Well, Instructor,” Mo Chu finally opened her mouth, but she actually used Exalted Chen Bai’s name as an escape route. “I have to go to the laboratory quickly. Master is still waiting!”
Looking at this girl’s awkward response, Ning Yiyuan could not help but feel a touch of joy. This meant that Mo Chu had never known about love affairs before. Thinking of this, Ning Yiyuan even took a step closer to address her, “Little Chu, I like you!”
“I like you!” This was the first time he had said such a mushy thing. There was not the slightest bit of shyness on Ning Yiyuan’s face. On the contrary, his expression was very solemn. He looked like he was making an oath at a wedding ceremony, and he looked solemn and serious.
“You…” Hearing this, Mo Chu was completely dumbfounded. She was completely stunned by Ning Yiyuan’s sudden confession!
“Don’t be afraid.” Seeing the blank look on Mo Chu’s face, Ning Yiyuan gently cupped her face, causing her eyes to meet his. “You’ll like me.”
Mo Chu blinked slightly. The nervousness in her heart suddenly subsided a little, and she found it a little funny. Where did this person’s confidence come from?
“Haha.” As if he had seen through Mo Chu’s thoughts, Ning Yiyuan chuckled twice. His fingers gently rubbed against her cheeks. “I always get what I want. You can never escape.”
As a decisive man, Ning Yiyuan was bolder than the others. It was just that very few people usually noticed this.
Facing each other, Mo Chu lowered her eyes, not daring to meet Ning Yiyuan’s fiery gaze. As a result, her long black eyelashes formed a faint shadow in the bottom of her eyes. Ning Yiyuan usually would not notice this, but at this moment, he was entranced.
To be honest, out of all the women that Ning Yiyuan had met, Mo Chu was not considered the most beautiful. However, that unique and soothing temperament of hers had deeply attracted him. The closer he got, the more he could discover the special traits of this girl. It was like silver threads, wrapping him tighter and tighter. He could not and was not willing to break free.
After living for over 40 years, this was the first time Ning Yiyuan had a manly impulse. The impulse to take a person for himself, an impulse to prevent others from getting closer to her. This impulse was so sudden and fierce that even he was shocked!
