Chapter 69: You Still Think You’re Right?
When they left the police station, it was already dark outside. After all, she had lied first and caused trouble for Si Chen. Fearing his anger, shortly after leaving the police station, Tong Yao pretended to limp as if her leg was hurting.
"Ouch! I was so nervous earlier that I just realized my leg is a bit sore. I should have asked for some compensation from Yuan Erhua."
Si Chen stopped and turned his head to look at her, "Your leg hurts?"
"Mmm."
Tong Yao nodded emphatically, her messy hair making her look like she had been struck by lightning.
Si Chen stared at her for a while, making Tong Yao feel a bit guilty as if her lie had been exposed. Just as she was about to say something to lighten the mood, he abruptly turned around and crouched down, coldly barking, "Get on."
Tong Yao was shocked by his action. Her mind hadn’t processed what was happening yet but her body was already honestly resting on his shoulder. If she insisted on walking now after having said her leg hurts, her lie would reveal itself.
Tong Yao felt as though she was digging herself into a deeper hole.
Leaning against his wide back, Tong Yao felt a sense of safety. It was a strange feeling for the yet-to-date Tong Yao. Her heart felt as if it was filled with warm wine, her cheeks flushing red. Thankfully, Si Chen couldn’t see her at the moment, or she would want to hide in a hole.
It was early in the month and the crescent moon was curved. The roads were deserted, lending the impression that they were walking on a country pathway, with only the occasional bark of a dog breaking the silence.
