This time, even Jian Anning was a bit surprised. She didn’t bother to pick up her scattered umbrella and quickly walked to the bedside.
However, Yu Zexiao snorted heavily from his nose, tossed his head, and didn’t even look at her. His expression was quite ugly and very annoyed.
Geez, he’s being all tsundere now. Jian Anning immediately said, "It wasn’t my fault. Ziyin refused to go to sleep, and I didn’t feel right coming here before her, you know?"
Yet, what she got in response was another heavy snort from Yu Zexiao.
Jian Anning felt her teeth ache. This man could sometimes be so sweet that it got cloying, and at other times, so childish that you’d want to hit him.
Like right now, she knew Yu Zexiao was acting because he had waited too long and grew impatient. But it wasn’t like she did it on purpose! If it wasn’t for the fear that Zhao Ziyin would notice her leaving, she would have liked to come earlier too.
"I’m sorry, okay? I didn’t do it on purpose." Jian Anning took a step forward, knowing well that he was angry, and immediately wanted to console him, "Ziyin kept not sleeping, and I felt bad about leaving. Don’t be mad, I’m here now, aren’t I?"
Yu Zexiao still ignored her, and it seemed as if he was even more irritated by her approach, turning his head even further away. He was sitting at the head of the bed, but his head was now at a ninety-degree angle, looking out the window with his lips pouted so much they could almost hang an oil bottle!
Under normal circumstances, Yu Zexiao was the kind of person who would get extremely angry if she was just a little late. And this time, she had delayed him for several hours. The fact that he hadn’t yelled at her was already more than fair.
But the past was different from the present. In the past—when she wasn’t yet with Yu Zexiao, no matter how much they argued, she wouldn’t consider his matters as top priority.
But now, although they hadn’t officially called each other "boyfriend and girlfriend," she thought she no longer needed to confirm Yu Zexiao’s feelings for her, and the feelings were mutual.
Moreover, she wouldn’t forget that Yu Zexiao still had a woman in his heart whom he had "loved deeply," his first love.
With this in mind, Jian Anning took a step forward and gently tugged at his arm, "Zexiao, don’t be angry."
Unexpectedly, Yu Zexiao suddenly jerked his hand away! Then, he huffily twisted aside, moving away, and snorted heavily through his nose again.
Jian Anning’s patience was worn thin by his repeated haughty attitude. She wasn’t the kind of person who easily submitted. The only reasons she had been so humble just now were because she admittedly had delayed things and just started getting along with Yu Zexiao who had also saved her, which made her unconsciously give him some leeway.
But Yu Zexiao’s irrational tantrums and his refusal to communicate with her had infuriated her. She coldly withdrew her hand, and her voice rose an octave, "So you’re ignoring me? Fine, ignore me! I’ll go back to Ziyin! As if anyone is begging for your attention! Stay or leave, I don’t care, I’m leaving!"
After saying that, she immediately turned around to leave.
But just as she turned, Yu Zexiao behind her erupted in anger, "You still have the nerve to say that! Do you have any idea how long you made me wait, how long?!"
