Su Zixi hardly slept a wink all night.
In the morning, when she woke up, her head throbbed painfully, and her chest felt heavy, as if a large stone were pressing down on it.
Struggling to get out of bed, Su Zixi dressed, packed her backpack, and left the room with it slung over her shoulder.
Downstairs, Uncle Li was busy in the dining room. Seeing Su Zixi appear, he smiled affectionately, “Young Mistress, you’re awake.”
“Mm...” Su Zixi responded, then thought for a moment and said, “Uncle Li, starting today, I might have to stay at school for a few days. Thank you for everything during this time.”
Uncle Li’s hand paused, and he looked at her in surprise, “You’re leaving.”
...
“My exams are coming up, and I need to go back to review for a few days.” Su Zixi gave a strained smile, “Later, please tell Jingyao for me.”@@@@
Uncle Li looked at her deeply, “Young Mistress, I can’t make that decision for you. It would be best if you spoke to the Young Master yourself.”
Although she had been intimate with this man several times, due to shyness, she always closed her eyes or deliberately averted her gaze, not daring to look at him. This was the first time she truly saw his body...
But she hadn’t anticipated the impact of this scene, so much so that she was stunned until the man put on his shirt, blocking the view, and she finally snapped back to reality.
Looking up, she met He Jingyao’s almost amused gaze, Su Zixi’s face turned crimson, and she wished she could flee!
“I... I came to...” she stammered, her gaze dodging, unable to meet his.
He Jingyao walked leisurely towards her, his finger caressing her cheek as he chuckled lightly, “It seems you are very satisfied with my body, huh?”
As if burned, Su Zixi quickly stepped back, nervously stating, “I... I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?” He Jingyao asked, his gaze falling on the backpack behind her, his eyes suddenly darkening, “Where are you going?”
“I... I want to stay at school for a few days,” Su Zixi said, nervously gripping the strap of her backpack, facing the man’s deep gaze, she persisted, “Exams are coming up, the teacher will be emphasizing key points, so I must attend class for a few days... and, uh, I won’t neglect my work either, you can rest assured, I’ve been in touch with my colleagues...”
“Heh...” The man laughed softly, but his look turned cold, “Su Zixi, if you want to avoid me, just say so.”
Su Zixi stubbornly retorted, “Not at all... It’s the reason I just gave you...”
