Chapter 134 To Pounce or Not to Pounce (20)
Shi Che didn’t know how he ended up walking back again. He had been pretending to be cold and aloof just a moment ago, which made him feel somewhat awkward. To cover his embarrassment, he cleared his throat and said in a purposely cold voice, "Aren’t you afraid that I’m deliberately making you break the rules?"
Ling Chuxia was actually feeling a bit embarrassed too. She had just been questioning his intentions, and now she was eating so joyfully. She clearly saw Shi Che walking away before she started eating, but to her surprise, Shi Che came back.
Ling Chuxia felt a bit embarrassed and opened her mouth but didn’t know how to explain. Shi Che was staring at her intensely, making her feel guilty, and then she became... embarrassed and angry.
Her eyes flickered, and her words were stiff but forceful, "I, I am being punished because of you. You brought me food, and I ate it. That’s perfectly normal!"
Shi Che didn’t expect Ling Chuxia to say something like that and was momentarily stunned, then he chuckled, "How are you being punished because of me? It was clearly because you cut your hair and your mother punished you."
But Ling Chuxia was very confident and responded earnestly, "How is it not? Madam wants us to keep our hair long, and that’s also for your sake!"
