"no."

His thin lips moved twice, and two words as low as a mosquito came out of Xu Yanfeng's mouth.

He denied it.

This was also within Xia Xi's expectations. If he admitted it directly, he would not be Xu Yanfeng anymore.

Xu Yanfeng raised his arm and put on his headphones again, cutting off Xia Xi's chance to talk to him again.

Xia Xi was not willing to give up. She reached out and pulled off Xu Yanfeng's earphones: "Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Xu Yanfeng's eyebrows twitched. He wondered if he was too easy to talk to, so that Xia Xi thought she could do whatever she wanted to him. "Xia Xi, I said it's not..."

The word "I" lingered between his lips and teeth, as Xia Xi suddenly leaned in very close, so close that her eyelashes seemed to brush against his face. Xu Yanfeng subconsciously held back the breath that was about to escape from his nose, and his Adam's apple above his shirt collar moved.

Xia Xi raised the corners of her lips slightly, still speaking in that low voice, "If it's not true, then it's not true. I'm not forcing you to admit it. I'm a very suspicious person, and I don't dare take medicine of unknown origin. What if there's something added to it and it poisons me? It's such a pity for a young girl to die in her prime."

Xu Yanfeng: “…”

He wanted to ask her if she was out of her mind and what she was imagining, but thinking from another angle, he was a little convinced that girls should indeed be highly vigilant when they are outside and refuse things of unknown origin.

Xia Xi frowned in feigned distress: "If you say it wasn't given by you, then I won't eat it and will have to throw it away."

Xu Yanfeng pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xia Xi suppressed his inner joy and asked seriously, "What's the matter? Do you have something to say to me?"

Xu Yanfeng spoke, but what he said was not what she had expected in her mind, "Yes, it was me who gave it to you." His voice was stagnant and a little deep: "Can you... stay away from me?"

Xia Xi: “…”

This stubborn guy! Xia Xi angrily put the earphones on Xu Yanfeng's forehead and retreated to a safe distance. While sorting the books and materials he brought with him, he complained in his heart.

Is Xu Yanfeng's mouth a clam? Why is it so difficult to pry out a single word of truth?

Being disturbed by Xia Xi, Xu Yanfeng's mind wandered halfway. He took off the earphones that were crooked on his forehead, put them in the storage bag, stared at the design drawing on the computer screen, and spent a few minutes to calm down.

He is designing high-end villas for a piece of land that Xu Group is about to develop.

Just when he thought he could return to his previous work state, his vision suddenly went dark and screams were heard all around him.

The quiet atmosphere was broken and the study room gradually became noisy. The friction sound of chairs moving was accompanied by inquiries one after another.

"What's going on? Is there a power outage?"

"Are you kidding me? How many years has it been since Nanjing University had a power outage?"

"The sky is falling, I'm here to catch up on my homework!"

"My Lord, are you here to punish me for cramming at the last minute?"

"Damn, someone stepped on my foot, it hurts so much!"

In the pitch-black darkness, Xia Xi turned her head to look to her right. Of course, she couldn't see Xu Yanfeng's face clearly, but at this moment, a bad idea popped into her mind.

Xia Xi smiled maliciously, then suddenly her expression changed. She covered her mouth in fake fear, cried out "Ah!", and burrowed into Xu Yanfeng's arms in fear. In the chaos, she grabbed his arm and held it tightly: "I'm so scared."

As he was acting, Xia Xi almost burst out laughing.

This kind of play is quite challenging for acting skills. Fortunately, it was dark and Xu Yanfeng couldn't see her poor acting skills.

Xu Yanfeng frowned and reached out to push her, but his first attempt failed. She clung to him like a half-melted piece of gummy bear. His face was sullen, and a voice tinged with anger came from above her head: "Xia Xi, let go."

Her words are completely unreliable, even the punctuation marks are fake.

She is an out-and-out liar. She can tell lies easily with just a flick of her tongue.

What he remembered most vividly was the time she vomited at the breakfast shop because she couldn't get used to the soy milk. The customers nearby looked over and she casually said it was morning sickness. He warned her not to say anything, but she got addicted to it, saying she would raise the child herself and didn't want him to be responsible... He couldn't forget the look the customer at the next table gave him: three parts contempt, three parts disgust, and the rest was sympathy for Xia Xi.

"I won't let go. I'm really afraid of the dark." Xia Xi giggled and pinched her throat to act pitiful. "Senior, can't you feel that I'm shaking so badly?"

"Xia Xi..."

Before Xu Yanfeng could finish, he was interrupted by an administrator who came over with a flashlight. The administrator informed everyone, "Everyone, there's a circuit malfunction. We're arranging for an electrician to repair it. It will only be fine in ten minutes. Everyone, please stay where you are and don't run around. It's easy to cause a stampede."

The students responded with "I understand" one after another, and some who had originally planned to leave sat back down after hearing this.

The administrator's flashlight inspired Xu Yanfeng. He lifted the arm that wasn't held by Xia Xi, fumbled around on the table, and finally retrieved his phone. With one hand, he activated the flashlight. The bright white light shone upon Xia Xi's face, revealing her smirk. There was no sign of fear at all.

Xia Xi was blinded by the sudden bright light and instinctively closed his eyes, like a thief caught red-handed in a house robbery.

"There's light now. Can you let me go?" Xu Yanfeng said with a cold face. He moved the beam of light away a little, not aiming it at her eyes.

Xia Xi pulled her lip awkwardly and slowly withdrew from his embrace. At a certain moment, she was stunned and pressed her body back. Seeing this, Xu Yanfeng's temples were throbbing: "Xia Xi..."
