Chapter 148 Rua the Tsundere Big Cat (5)
The little thing was petite, but ran very fast. It stuffed the box in its hand into Leta's arms without giving the other party time to react.
Leta took a step forward but could only barely stop. She frowned as she looked at the box in her hand that was wrapped in blue floral fabric.
How spoiled and childish.
Although he secretly complained in his heart, he still turned around and walked towards the office with the box. Phil, who had been so arrogant just now, now lowered his head, his tail curled up into a ball, his face flushed and white, for fear that his previous behavior would affect his image in the other person's mind.
But Leta didn't bother to pay attention to him. She just glanced down at him with a warning in her tone.
"Phil, don't let this happen again."
"...Yes, Senior Leta." Phil bit his lip and nodded, his eyes red, but Leta didn't even look at him.
Leta returned to the office, put the small box aside, and snorted. This little thing is quite good at winning people's hearts. She even cooked for him. Isn't it just trying to please him? But he won't eat it. If the little thing knew that he had eaten it, who knows if it would misunderstand something.
But, if I don’t eat, given that little thing’s delicate nature, I’m afraid it will cry again…
Frowning, Leta felt like she was in a mess. She glanced at the time. It was twelve o'clock, and it was time to eat.
The hands folded in front of her chest moved, and Leta took the small box back in front of her with a stern face and opened it, and a fragrance wafted out.
Leta's expression softened, and the corners of her mouth were no longer tense. Although this little thing was trying to please him, it was indeed successful. She would tell him about it after she got back.
Although he was thinking this in his heart, the curve of his mouth was particularly obvious. Looking at the rich lunch box in front of him, a familiar yet strange emotion arose in his mind.
Li Ziyan didn't know what Leta imagined while looking at his lunch box, and he skipped back to the dormitory. Although he was a freshman, because of the special major he studied, there were not many courses, so it was relatively easy overall.
Back in the dorm, he glanced at the empty room and curled his lips. A sense of loss welled up in his heart, a hollow feeling deep in his soul, as if a piece of him was missing. This feeling had happened more than once, but he still couldn't get used to it.
The cute and obedient smile on her face had faded, leaving only a hint of blush at the corners of her eyes from her forced effort to be strong. The corners of her mouth had drooped, and her frail figure looked a little dejected.
Li Ziyan walked to the refrigerator, looked at the dazzling array of ingredients inside, took out some meat, skillfully turned on the gas stove and started stewing.
It’s not that he has any masochistic tendencies, but he has to take different measures when dealing with different people. Besides, he doesn’t have no feelings towards Leta at all.
After returning to the room and reading for a while, the little dolls and some small things that Li Ziyan customized online arrived and were placed in the living room, adding a bit of warmth to the cold room.
Looking at the time and thinking that Leta should be back soon, Li Ziyan put the prepared food on the table and quietly returned to his room.
The dormitory's soundproofing was excellent, but only for the outside world. Sound transmission from within was still very clear. Lying in bed, Li Ziyan could clearly hear the door open and close. He was filled with anticipation and nervousness he wasn't even aware of. He bit his lower lip, his hands tightly gripping the quilt, a hint of white tinging his pink fingertips.
In the living room, Leta took off her clothes and threw them aside. When she glanced at the small cloud-shaped pillow on the sofa, she remembered that she had a roommate.
He cursed inwardly, looked at the tightly closed door, frowned slightly, took his clothes into the room, and changed into a refreshing set of home clothes before coming out.
He placed his lunch box in the kitchen, but his eyes and mind were drawn to the food on the table. It was a unique Chinese meal, full of color, aroma, and flavor, and it looked so appetizing.
Each one was warm and looked untouched, but there was only a pair of bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Leta frowned, and the pair of red eyes and thin back from this afternoon appeared in front of her eyes unconsciously. Her heart ached and she stood there without moving.
I wonder if that little thing had lunch. He's so skinny, wouldn't his body be able to handle not eating? And after all, they were family friends, so he couldn't be too indifferent. With this thought, Leta's legs moved, and he walked step by step to the door of Li Ziyan's room and knocked gently.
"Are you there?"
“…”
No one spoke inside, but Leta knew that Li Ziyan was there and not sleeping.
"I know you're here. Do you want to come out for dinner?" Leta forced his tone to be as stiff and awkward as possible, but he insisted on being polite. "Have you had lunch yet?"
"Don't get me wrong, you're just afraid that if you get sick, your uncles and the others will be worried. It's not that you're concerned about yourself."
Li Ziyan hid under the quilt and couldn't hold back his laughter. This person was simply the epitome of a tsundere, and he was even confessing himself.
"If you don't come out, I'll go in."
Li Ziyan still didn't say anything. Leta frowned, panicking for a moment. Could he have fainted? He frowned and tutted, but his body honestly pushed open the door, walked to the bed, looked at the bulge in the quilt, and reached out his hand.
"Why aren't you talking?"
The quilt was opened, and Li Ziyan's tear-stained face was exposed in front of Leta, which made him stunned for a moment. The next second, the little orc on the bed seemed to be frightened and a little embarrassed, and pulled the quilt to cover his head.
"Don't move!" Leta's heart felt a sudden pain, as if it was tightly wrapped in a net with thorns on it, pricking him with pain. "Why are you crying?"
Li Ziyan covered his face with his hands, his ears twitched, and his thin body trembled, but Leta didn't feel annoyed, but rather a little panicked.
"What's wrong?"
“No, nothing…”
"You're crying like this and you still say it's okay?"
“…Wu…”
Instead of saying anything, he let out a whimper, like a kitten whimpering for caress.
Leta looked at Li Ziyan's pitiful appearance, hesitated for a while, reached out her hand, half-hugged Li Ziyan, and gently rubbed the top of his head.
"Don't cry, what's wrong? Can't you tell me?" Leta said this, feeling a little ambiguous, and quickly added, "After all, I'm your brother's friend."
"Wu...Brother Leta..." The voice was crying and the ending tone was trembling, which made people's hearts soften.
"Okay, stop crying. I'm here."
