Chapter 90 Large Dogs
From fawning over petty people, to lowering oneself to apologize, and then to acting foolishly and coquettishly like a rogue.
Ruan Yi had already used every trick in the book.
But what about the person next to me? They sat on the sofa like a statue, not moving an inch.
Ruan Yi stared at his hands hanging on his knees, remaining in the same position as if he had been paused.
After a few more seconds of stalemate, the man behind the mask remained motionless, and she felt embarrassed for herself.
Ruan Yi felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. Was this person Seren or a ghost?
The girl leaned forward as if possessed, her right hand curled up, and a slender white finger carefully reached for the tip of the man's nose beneath his mask.
"Hey... are you still alive?"
As soon as he got close, a heavy breath brushed against his knuckles, and then, as if by instinct, the man suddenly took a deep breath.
I don't want to pay attention to her, but I'm willing to smell her?
Ruan Yi's eyes lit up; at least she reacted.
The next second, Seren simply moved to the side very naturally, creating half a foot of distance, and returned to his sculpted state.
"?" Is he playing a trick on her?
Ruan Yi sat up abruptly, her last bit of patience snapping completely.
This is definitely passive-aggressive behavior!
"Could you even say one bad word to me? What kind of nonsense is this, pretending to be a wooden doll?!"
In the empty room, the girl's voice was exceptionally clear, making her feel like a pitiful person performing a one-woman show.
The man behind the mask finally made a move. He gripped the sofa armrest, seemingly intending to get up and leave, without giving Ruan Yi a second glance from beginning to end.
Ruan Yi was already seething with anger, and seeing him about to leave made her even angrier. She pounced on him and pinned him firmly to the sofa with her hands.
The man was as stiff as a stone, stopped by her pressing down. Before he could react, the girl straddled his lap without any regard for her image, pushing her hands firmly against his chest.
She glared down at him, her big, round eyes practically spitting fire. "Trying to leave? No way!"
The girl braced her knees against the sofa, firmly locking his movements in place.
"This isn't my place to apologize! If you hadn't had that bad idea of hitting me first, would I have been beaten up? And you still have the nerve to get angry?"
She became increasingly angry as she spoke, and her fingertips trembled.
"Both sides were about to call a truce, so why are you suddenly giving me this sour look?"
Ruan Yi stared at the eyes revealed beneath his mask, her expression somewhat strange, and laughed in exasperation.
"What, you're acting all wronged now? I'm the one who was almost in serious trouble because you drugged me, right? Now I'm running to you like an idiot, begging for your forgiveness, and you're playing dumb with me and giving me the silent treatment?"
As the last word fell, she clearly felt the body under her hand completely stiffen.
It was an extremely intense, almost bizarre stiffness, as if someone had been frozen in place.
Ruan Yi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously stared intently into his eyes.
The man's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had been overwhelmed by the sudden influx of information; his eyes were filled with an indescribable shock and astonishment.
Ruan Yi felt uneasy at his reaction. Just as she was about to ask what was going on, she saw his Adam's apple bob violently.
The shock in those eyes hadn't faded when it was overshadowed by an even deeper layer of complex emotions that she couldn't decipher.
At that moment, all that remained in the man's mind was Ruan Yi's words about being drugged.
"So, he used this method on her?"
"I...I'm going to touch you."
When the man spoke, his voice was deep and magnetic, and he deliberately pressed it into his chest, making it sound somewhat bubbly.
Why is his voice so suppressed? It sounds awful! Has Thrall suddenly become a teenager and gone through puberty again?
But upon hearing the contents of the words, Ruan Yi felt a chill run down her spine.
Here it comes, here it comes! The strong one is about to be revealed! This stallion who's been holding back all day is finally going to show his true colors!
She had just mustered all her strength to scream and break the window when suddenly her lower back felt light, and he lifted her up by her buttocks with extreme gentleness.
It would have been better if he hadn't picked her up. When he held her in his arms, the man became even stiffer, but that was all. He just held her there, not really holding her.
Because the other party didn't make any move, Ruan Yi's scream, which she was about to blurt out, got stuck in her throat.
Unbeknownst to her, the man was already engrossed in a battle of wits.
Thought A roared frantically: Pick him up and throw him down immediately! Maintain your persona! Be firm!
Thought B wagged its tail happily, hugging it: "Just a little longer, just a little while! It's okay to rub against it, it smells so good..."
The two heads were banging against each other inside the skull, but he didn't loosen his grip at all, just holding the person up in mid-air.
Before anyone knew which of his minds had won, the girl had already struggled and smacked him on the shoulder several times.
After a while, he buried his face in the girl's neck, his profile, adorned with a diamond mask, gently rubbing against her skin, the cool metallic tip of his nose brushing against her collarbone.
When the man took a deep breath, it was hot yet restrained, mingling with the cool metallic scent of the mask, strangely carrying a hint of lingering tenderness.
The hand that was supporting the girl's buttocks wandered unconsciously, while the fingertips of the other hand occasionally brushed against her waist, like a large dog that adores its owner.
The most instinctive touch expressed a strange emotion, and it seemed that even he himself was unaware of the blatant intimacy at this moment.
Ruan Yi was gently placed back on the ground.
It's... over? It feels like I've been rubbed by a dog.
This is Seren, that arrogant scumbag who drugged her on their very first meeting?
It's like a Samoyed sneaking up on someone and rubbing against their pants leg when they're not looking, and it's even wearing a diamond collar.
Seren had straightened up and straightened his cuffs. His eyes, hidden behind the mask, had returned to their emotionless state, as if the person who had inexplicably rubbed against her just now wasn't him.
But a patch of red quietly spread around his ears, as if they were on fire, and the tips of his ears were so red that they seemed to be dripping blood.
This guy...has he been possessed, hasn't he?
As Seren turned to leave, Ruan Yi could no longer hold back.
So what exactly did she come here for? Was it like playing house, where this guy just came up and rubbed against her a couple of times and that was it?
Ruan Yi was furious. She chased after him in a few steps, grabbed his wrist, and used a lot of force.
Seren stopped in his tracks, showing her only his profile, his voice still very low, the deliberately somber tone sounding even stranger.
"The Anderson family is targeting NovaVoy, not because of you, so you don't need to apologize."
Ruan Yiqi laughed.
"Not because of me? Then who was it because of? I kicked you in the groin so hard back then, was it because Fu Jingchen beat you up and hurt your noble masculine pride?"
The more she talked about it, the more she realized it made sense. After all, Seren looked like he'd been kicked and enjoyed it, so the problem probably lay with Fu Jingchen.
Ruan Yi clearly felt her wrist under her palm pause almost imperceptibly.
The other party did not answer, their silence sounding like tacit agreement.
After a while, the man started to pry her fingers apart.
The movements were ridiculously gentle; it wasn't a flicking away or a struggle, but rather peeling the girl's fingers off his wrist one by one.
When his fingertips touched her fingertips, it was even a little tentative and cautious, as if he was afraid that she would be hurt.
Ruan Yi frowned as she watched. Who would remove someone else's hand like that?
It's not even about whether it's Seren or not anymore; this guy isn't even a normal human being!
He always spoke in an unpleasant, low, bubbly voice, rubbed against people like a dog, and would take her fingers one by one.
It's so bizarre, it's really too bizarre.
