Chapter 149 Rua the Tsundere Big Cat (6)

Leta's rare gentle comfort seemed to ignite Li Ziyan's tension and grievance. He no longer cared about shame or fear, and stretched out his two slender and tender arms to hug Lai Ta's neck, burying his head in his chest. He cried and his body was trembling, his little tail was drooping on the bed, and he looked completely listless.

Li Ziyan's sudden, intimate gesture froze him, and Leta, unsure whether to move or not, held his hands stiffly at his sides, unsure how to react. He felt like pushing the little orc away, but his body was beyond his control. He particularly enjoyed the man's dependence on him and the delicate fragrance emanating from his body.

He, who always hated tears and weakness, seemed to have forgotten this at this moment and said softly, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? I didn't throw away the lunch you gave me at noon. I already ate it, didn't I?"

"I've eaten it... Is it delicious? Brother Leta, do you like it?" Li Ziyan's voice was sobbing, pitiful and cute, as if he had suffered a lot of grievances for no reason, but he didn't care too much about the fact that he had eaten this meal.

"I've eaten it, it's delicious, so don't cry anymore." Leta reached out and patted Li Ziyan on the back, her face grumpy, but she added, "If you cry again, I won't be able to explain to your parents and brother."

Li Ziyan held his mouth shut, feeling somewhat awkward, and slowly pulled out of the other's embrace, his nose red, lips pouting, tears still hanging in his eyes, looking so pitiful. Leta frowned, stood up, glanced at the wet patch on her chest, and took a few pieces of paper from the side and pressed them against Li Ziyan's face.

"Dry your tears. Why are you crying? I didn't bully you." Recalling the day's events, Leta slowly sorted out whether she had done anything wrong to provoke this delicate little thing. But after thinking about it, she felt that she had done nothing. The only thing that made this little thing angry was probably Phil. "Are you crying because of what happened at noon?"

Li Ziyan neither shook his head nor nodded. He lowered his eyes in silence, bent his legs, and hugged his knees with his hands, looking like he was protecting himself.

"What he did at noon was wrong. I've already told him about it, but why didn't you call me in advance?"

"Brother Leta never gave me your phone number..." Li Ziyan buried his face in his knees and muttered, his tone was particularly aggrieved. Leta was also a little embarrassed when he heard it, and didn't know what to say for a moment, but the next second the person in front of him continued to speak, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have gone to find Brother Leta, I'm really sorry..."

"I didn't say that, don't think about it."

Leta frowned and tried to deny it, but Li Ziyan ignored him. She slowly pulled up the quilt to cover her calves, glanced at his clothes sheepishly, and said with pursed lips, "I'm sorry, I was rude just now and stained your clothes. Brother Leta, why don't you change them and I'll help you wash them."

It's strange to say, if the person who just hugged him and cried and left a mess in front of him was someone else, Leta would have been angry a long time ago, but now he didn't feel disgusted or dirty, he just felt a little uncomfortable.

"It will be cleaned in the washing machine, you won't need it."

The little orc stopped talking again and buried his head in sadness and inferiority, like a wounded little beast comforting itself.

It seemed as if he had bullied the other person too much. Leta frowned, sighed, put one hand on her waist, supported her forehead with the other hand, and turned to leave the room.

Not long after, he appeared at Li Ziyan's bedside again, holding a tray in his hand, and placed the prepared food on Li Ziyan's bedside table.

"I don't blame you for what happened today. You did nothing wrong, and the food you cooked was delicious. If you need anything in the future, just come and see me. I've written my number on a piece of paper for you to save." After saying that, Leta paused and continued, "I don't mean any other things. I just don't want to make your family worry. Don't overthink it. There's no possibility for you and me. You'd better know that."

Li Ziyan nodded, looking at the prepared food on the bedside table. His eyes were slightly hot, but surprisingly, no tears came out. Instead, he grabbed the quilt with both hands and murmured softly, "Is there really no possibility at all... Even if I like it, it's not possible..."

His voice was so soft that Leta only heard the first half and the second half. His heart trembled, and he opened his mouth but said nothing, fearing that the other party would misunderstand him, so he turned and left.

After closing Li Ziyan's door, Leta walked to the dining table and sat down. She put her hands on her chest and frowned in some surprise, not quite understanding why she felt so inexplicably excited and nervous.

He suppressed the inexplicable emotions in his heart, shook his head, and filled a bowl of rice. However, he did not eat peacefully during this meal. In front of his eyes, one moment he saw Li Ziyan's tearful face, and the next moment he saw Li Ziyan's dependent eyes. His thoughts were so confused that he couldn't even taste what the food tasted like.

The next morning, he woke up and came out of the room. The fragile little thing had already prepared the meal and was sitting quietly at the dining table. When it saw him come out, its eyes lit up, but it did not take the initiative to speak. It just stammered and pushed the plate on the table over to it. On it were exquisite scrambled eggs and fried ham.

"Why are you up so early to cook?"

"I..." Li Ziyan wanted to say something, but didn't say anything. He shook his head and said, "No, nothing."

Leta didn't think too much about it and just started eating. The American scrambled eggs were smooth with a hint of milk and pepper, and the ham was just the right touch of salty and fresh. There was a new taste every day, which made his mood improve.

The orc in front of him still had red, slightly swollen eyelids, and his lips were moist with a hint of pink. As if sensing his scrutiny, he choked, quickly finished his meal, and picked up his backpack.

"Brother Lai, Laita, I have to go to class, so I'll leave first. Goodbye!" After saying that, Li Ziyan turned around and left. Laita looked at the other party who turned back to look at him from time to time, frowned slightly, and always felt that Li Ziyan's attitude towards him was a little bit wrong.

The phone beeped, and when Leta opened it, it was a video call. It was an acquaintance, Li Ziyan's brother Li Zihan. He thought about it, answered the call, and a handsome face appeared on the screen.

"Leta."

"Um, what's up?"

"Where's the baby?"

"What baby?" Leta frowned, not quite understanding. Li Zihan, who was sitting opposite him, choked himself, patted his head, and said, "Wrong, wrong, I said Ziyan, my brother."

"Just went out to class."

"Oh, that's good," Li Zihan nodded. He just wanted to find Leta to find out about Li Ziyan's situation, so it would be best if Li Ziyan wasn't there. "Are you eating in the dormitory?"

Li Zihan was a little shocked when he glanced at the scene behind him. After all, they had known each other for such a long time, but he had never seen what Leta looked like when she was eating in his dormitory?

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"You made this yourself?"

"No, Xiaodong...your brother did it."

"Oh, huh? Zi Yan made this?! You asked my brother to cook for you?!"

The person in the video suddenly raised his voice and slammed the table. Leta almost swallowed his milk. He looked at the person on the screen with a cold brow and felt that he was about to know something big.
