Lu Zhixing was slightly taken aback.

He hurriedly explained:

"Tangtang, you've misunderstood. I didn't know Lin Yiyun would do such a thing to you. Although I was only entrusted by my father to return to China to take care of you, I would never allow anyone to hurt you like this."

Tang Li felt wronged for a moment, but quickly let it go.

"I've always owed you a thank you. Thank you, Fourth Brother, for saving me."

Lu Zhixing was even more astonished:

"Aren't you angry?"

Tang Li chuckled:

"Why would I be angry? Fourth Brother doesn't even know what kind of person Lin Yiyun is. Besides, it was Fourth Brother who saved me. Fourth Brother is so kind. Even if I were someone Uncle Sheng entrusted to you, he would definitely step in to help if he saw a strange girl being bullied."

Tang Li was genuinely not angry.

She thought that such understanding would earn her praise from Lu Zhixing.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhixing suddenly became depressed.

He looked dejected.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Tang Li was somewhat at a loss, thinking that Lu Zhixing was blaming himself. She reached out and patted Lu Zhixing's shoulder, saying in a very magnanimous manner:

"Fourth Brother wants to confess to me that you approached me with a mission, right?"

It seems she doesn't care at all.

Lu Zhixing smiled bitterly to himself.

"Don't you feel uncomfortable at all?"

Tang Li thought about it very seriously:

"No."

Two words, a crisp and concise answer.

Lu Zhixing stood up:

"Then go to sleep. I've said everything I wanted to say."

Fearing he might not be able to resist confessing his feelings tonight, Lu Zhixing suppressed the urge to express his growing affection and wanted to leave quickly.

But Tang Li stopped him:

"Fourth Brother."

Lu Zhixing lowered his head and looked at Tang Li:

"What's wrong?"

Tang Li stood up and suddenly moved closer, making Lu Zhixing's heart pound.

The mischievous Tang Li reached out and poked Lu Zhixing's face, laughing:

"Fourth Brother, your face is red."
