Gu Qi: [Warrior, I need pictures and the truth!]
Shi Xu: [I don't believe it unless I see it with my own eyes!]
He Zhuo: [??? I don't believe you! Unless you bring me a high-definition, uncensored front-facing photo! (reaches out)]
Gu Wan: [Ahhh... I need another picture! Chi Yi-ge, you can't keep this all to yourself!]
Luo Xingyou: [Did they kiss? Did they kiss? (Clutches her chest)]
Chi Yi: [This... you should ask the person involved next time for the details!]
Everything I could post... everything I dared to post, I've already shared in the group! (wiping sweat)
If I were any more powerful, the master might banish me to the Arctic!
Lu Xici held her phone, making a call on speakerphone while staring at the group messages: [(Full of murderous intent)]
Lu Xici: [(Carrying a forty-meter-long machete)]
Lu Xici: [You're all dead meat! Chi Yi, let that bastard Chi Yanzhou answer the phone!]
Gu Qi: [(Trying to calm) Brother Ci, calm down. Based on the current intelligence analysis, it should still be at a relatively... innocent physical contact stage.]
For example, holding hands? Or, hugging?
Lu Xici: [Get lost! I'm going to chop that brat Chi Yanzhou up!]
Luo Xingyou: [Ci-ge, besides Yan-ge, who else do you think is good enough for our Nannan!]
Wen Qing: [I vote for Xiao Chi!]
Gu Wan: [I vote for Yan-ge!]
Ji Xian: [I'll definitely vote for Yan Ge!]
......
Watching Chi Yi's almost floating figure as he left, Lu Nange couldn't help but mutter to herself, trying to distract herself from her still wildly beating heart.
"It's true what they say, 'One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black'... After hanging out with Brother Zhuo and Brother Gu Qi for so long..."
Even the usually serious and composed Chi Yige has been completely corrupted.
Before she could finish speaking, she felt an intensely burning gaze directed at her from the side...
Looking up, the emotions churning inside were so intense, it seemed to want to suck her in and completely devour her.
The rest of her words caught in her throat. She looked away uncomfortably, not daring to meet his gaze: "You... stay away from me."
Instead of retreating as she wished, Chi Yanzhou leaned slightly closer.
The distance between them was once again compressed to the point where they could hear each other's breaths, and his aura enveloped her completely.
"Stay away from me?" he repeated in a low voice, his tone rising slightly at the end.
He paused, his gaze fixed on her blushing earlobes and trembling eyelashes, and slowly pressed for an answer.
"I never expected you to be like this, Nan Nan... We've already kissed, taken advantage of each other, and now you want to push me away..."
So... you're not going to take responsibility?
Lu Nange was provoked by his counter-accusation and looked up at him with wide, wet eyes.
"Who took advantage of whom? It was clearly you..." Under his gaze, her words inexplicably lost their momentum, and her voice gradually faded.
"...We've already kissed, what more do you want? Besides...didn't you kiss me back?"
Chi Yanzhou looked at her embarrassed yet trying-to-remain calm appearance, a faint smile flashed across his eyes, which was then replaced by seriousness.
His hands, which had been loosely around her waist, tightened slightly.
His eyelids lifted slightly, revealing the turbulent emotions within them—a pure and fervent affection, imbued with the earnestness that had been cultivated over many years...
"Nan Nan, I like you."
It was not a question, not a test, but a calm and confident statement.
Lu Nange's heart skipped a beat, then began to pound wildly, making her chest go numb.
She looked at his face so close to hers, her throat felt dry, and it took her a long while to recover.
"I...I can see it."
[Of course! They were kissing like that, I'm not stupid, how could I not tell?]
If Gu Wan and her group were present, they would undoubtedly reply with: "[You have absolutely no idea about your own emotional intelligence...]"
