Yi Mu noticed that Guan Shengye was in a daze. It seemed to be the first time he had ever been in a daze in front of him.
Yi Mu's gaze swept over Guan Shengye's bandaged cheek, and he tentatively asked, "You're injured like this, who did you fight with?"
Guan Shengye looked up at him.
Yi Mu immediately changed to a more tactful approach: "If you don't want to say, just pretend I didn't ask."
Guan Shengye didn't see any need to hide it from Yi Mu.
Based on their time together, he discovered that Yi Mu was not the bookish class monitor who acted like a superior, idiotic student.
“A friend of mine had his finger broken, so I led a group to raid that person’s hideout. I’ve been dealing with this all day.”
He paused, then said regretfully, "It's a pity there's still one last question on the test I haven't answered. Should I go borrow a pen..."
Yi Mu interrupted him with a smile: "I never realized you were so studious. Anyway, we don't have time to look at the test paper today, so why don't we..."
Guan Shengye raised his voice, sounding somewhat anxious.
"No, we had an agreement. I'll finish the test, and you'll correct it. Do you want to go back on your word?"
Yi Mu was speechless for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.
This smile relaxes the eyebrows and eyes, making them squint into crescent shapes, with the corners of the mouth turned up, revealing slightly white teeth—truly bright and beautiful, with red lips and white teeth.
Like a flower petal just beginning to bloom, its beauty is beyond compare.
Guan Shengye suddenly realized how ridiculous he had been when he first met her, deceiving himself.
It was clearly love at first sight, but she deliberately deceived herself by calling Yi Mu a gigolo.
Yi Mu didn't notice Guan Shengye's eyes gradually darkening. He shook his head and laughed, thinking Guan Shengye was really childish.
"You're in this state, and you still came all the way to school to see me. You didn't just come for a compliment, did you?"
He said this entirely jokingly, but Guan Shengye nodded without hesitation: "Yes."
The smile on Yi Mu's face froze.
He slowly leaned back in his chair, his smile becoming uneasy.
"I don't really understand why you're so fixated on a compliment that lacks substance. I could have used something else..."
Guan Shengye's gaze was intense, not allowing him to escape the facts that were gradually being revealed.
"I don't want anything else, I just want one word from you."
Even though I was covered in injuries, I still made sure to get back to the classroom before your shift ended. Do you think I keep my promises to everyone?
Yi Mu's feet tapped haphazardly under the table, a gesture he made when his mind was in turmoil, in sync with his heartbeat.
"Guan Shengye, do you know what you're saying?"
Guan Shengye leaned halfway across the table, his eyes following Yi Mu like a wolf.
An overwhelming sense of pressure followed, and Yi Mu nervously licked his lips, earning him an even more intense gaze from Guan Shengye.
"If I said that the moment I first saw you, I couldn't take my eyes off you, would you think there's something wrong with me?"
These words are no different from a confession of one's feelings.
Yi Mu was itching to get up and rush out the door.
Guan Shengye's gaze was simply too aggressive, clinging to him as if he wanted to tear him apart.
Yi Mu moved his hand toward the vase on the table, ready to crack open Guan Shengye's skull if he dared to cause trouble.
Just then, the waiter brought over the braised pork chops.
The tense atmosphere between the two was eased, and Guan Shengye's eyes were fixed on Yi Mu, ignoring the meat that was coming up.
Yi Mu felt deeply that in Guan Shengye's eyes, he was just a piece of meat with alternating layers of fat and lean meat.
Judging from his cannibalistic gaze, he had been coveting it for a long time.
