Ling Momo’s eyes suddenly widened as she abruptly lifted her head to look at Li Qingshen, holding her breath and blurting out the question, "Teacher... you seem... you seem very nervous about me, very concerned about me..."
Ling Momo’s words fell like a torrential downpour, madly cascading into Li Qingshen’s mind, instantly extinguishing all of his anger to nothing!
Li Qingshen’s expression froze in an instant as he realized Ling Momo’s large, slightly suspicious eyes were staring straight into his, probing, as if trying to see through to his innermost thoughts.
Li Qingshen felt a sudden panic deep inside, and abruptly turned his head away to avoid Ling Momo’s gaze. Follow current novᴇls on novel⸺fire.net
His hand gripped the steering wheel tightly, as if the girl’s words had struck right at the deepest thoughts in his heart, causing his fingertips to tremble slightly.
He dared not look at Ling Momo again, his face grew even colder, as if a layer of frost had formed, as though concealing something, he moved his lips and let out a few words, "You really have a wild imagination!"
Upon hearing such cold and contemptuous words from Li Qingshen, Ling Momo slightly stiffened, her large eyes a bit bewildered as she watched Li Qingshen slightly furrow his brows.
She had a wild imagination?
But, at that moment, she had clearly felt his nervousness and care... and she had never seen him with such an expression before, as if he had lost something extremely important...
Unable to help herself, Ling Momo raised her fingers and began to habitually pick at her chin, her plump lips puckering slightly.
Her eyes remained unwavering, staring at Li Qingshen, lost in confusion.
Li Qingshen stared straight out at the scenery beyond the car window. He could feel the girl’s stare, his lips tightened slightly, and he turned his head subtly to see through the rearview mirror the girl’s frowning expression. His hand shook, gripping the steering wheel even harder as veins faintly protruded.
Her gaze seemed a bit unfocused, innocent and pure, resting directly on his face. Li Qingshen remained silent, watching her through the rearview mirror, not speaking again, his eyes flickered briefly before regaining their composure.
Time ticked by gradually, and silence prevailed in the car as Ling Momo continued to look at Li Qingshen with innocent and confused eyes.
Such a gaze, on the normally composed and calm Li Qingshen, evoked a feeling of guilt and fear.
He first frowned, and in the depths of his dark eyes, layers upon layers of strange waves began to churn, fierce and tumultuous, eventually turning into irritability.
It was an irritability that was unprecedented.
He wasn’t sure if it was because of what she had just said or because her gaze was too alluring.
He always felt that her eyes, as if they could see right through him.
See through the real him.
He felt somewhat at a loss!
He always thought that if this stalemate persisted, all his defenses and pretenses would be shattered by her!
To conceal the fluster she had witnessed in him earlier, Li Qingshen suddenly turned his head, his tone becoming even more disdainful as he stared into her eyes and said deliberately, "What makes you think you’re worthy of my concern and nervousness?"
Ling Momo’s eyes widened, her previously bewildered eyes gradually becoming lucid as she stared at Li Qingshen, coming back to her senses and only then belatedly realizing what Li Qingshen had just said.
