Gong Ning raised her delicate eyebrows defiantly, her bright eyes filled with provocation.
The slight upturn of his lips carried a hint of wild arrogance, imbued with a captivating power and majesty.
And so, as if reborn, Gong Ning reappeared before him, gradually merging with the image of the little girl in his memory, her eyes always filled with tears, who always timidly followed behind him...
A few moments of confusion flickered imperceptibly in Xiao Yiting's usually clear and icy eyes as he gazed at the little girl before him, her body bristling with sharp thorns, and he couldn't help but call out, "A-Yun!"
This soft, trembling call sent a shiver down Gong Ning's spine, instantly raising a chill down her spine.
She looked up and met his smiling eyes, and suddenly felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart, causing her to involuntarily step back!
Meanwhile, the welcoming banquet in VIP room 454 ended hastily amidst the chill emanating from the man, due to the little incident where Hong Li deliberately leaned against Yan Jingzhou earlier.
Yan Jingzhou was the first to get up, open the door, and go out.
The moment he stepped outside, Xiao Yiting's voice, though distant, was filled with tenderness, and it struck him like a sharp icicle.
Yan Jingzhou's already chilling brows instantly turned frosty, and his icy, deep eyes grew even darker, casting a somber gaze upon Xiao Yiting.
Xiao Yiting's gaze shifted slightly, concealing the disordered look in his eyes, and the smile that had been lingering on his face instantly became lively again.
He met Yan Jingzhou's gaze with a friendly expression, but the smile in his eyes was cold and distant, devoid of any warmth.
When rivals meet, the atmosphere is especially captivating!
Gong Ning suddenly snapped out of her daze and turned her head abruptly. The tall, slender figure, hidden deep within her bones, came into view as stunningly beautiful as if they were seeing each other for the first time.
The little girl forgot everything in an instant, her eyes crinkling with joy as she laughed. She opened her arms and rushed to Yan Jingzhou, tilting her head back and speaking in a soft, sweet voice, "A-Zhou, I want a hug~~"
Everyone: "..."
Xiao Yiting: "..."
The smile in Xiao Yiting's eyes cooled slightly.
The corridor fell into a deathly silence!
An Xue, who had been leisurely watching the show, suddenly turned ashen-faced and stared wide-eyed in shock.
The hand holding He Yexin's arm unconsciously tightened its grip, but the other person seemed to feel no pain, staring blankly at the girl in the distance with her arms outstretched as if she wanted to hug her.
The "A-Zhou" that Gong Ning mentioned was actually Yan Jingzhou!
What is her relationship with Professor Yan?
It must have been wishful thinking on her part... right?
The astonished looks on the faces of the students in Class Four as they looked at Gong Ning changed repeatedly, beyond what words could describe.
Someone quietly tugged at An Xue and He Yexin's sleeves, "An Xue, Yexin, you and Gong Ning are in the same dorm. Is the A Zhou she mentioned really Professor Yan?"
The person intended to ask quietly out of curiosity, but underestimated the level of silence and focus that everyone was taking at that moment.
Because, even though the voice was deliberately lowered, it still clearly reached everyone's ears.
The scene became even quieter.
Everyone silently prayed that it was just Gong Ning's wishful thinking and that Professor Yan wouldn't pay any attention to her!
Yan Jingzhou lowered his head as soon as the little girl skipped and hopped up to him.
His handsome brows, which were covered in a thin layer of frost, twitched slightly, and the bone-chilling coldness slowly faded away.
His eyes, filled with a tender affection, gazed steadily at the little girl in front of him who had opened her arms for a hug.
So proactive?
What's wrong? Weren't you avoiding him the whole time before?
