Chapter 396: Pouring Water Over Her Head (1)_1
She suddenly gave a coy smile and made the most bashful and shy expression she had never made in her life, even her voice was unprecedentedly whiny, "I was just thinking about the gentleman who came that day. You didn’t see him, but that gentleman was so handsome, and even his voice was so mesmerizing. It’s been several days since we last met, and I really miss him terribly. Ah, they say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and now I know why these past days I’ve been so listless, not caring for tea or food,—it’s because I haven’t seen that gentleman for years."
As Lin Yuan pretended to be lovestruck, she observed the reaction of a certain big jar of vinegar, but to her surprise, Xia Zheng, who usually would flip out just at the mention of a name, was just squinting his eyes, looking at her calmly as if he felt nothing at all.
Lin Yuan was angry. Shouldn’t he be accusing her angrily for thinking about someone else? Or, with his bad temper, he should have directly taken a knife and ended the man she was thinking about in her heart.
But what was his reaction, what was his expression now! Damn it, she had no place in his heart at all!
"Xia Zheng, you, hey! Put me down! Put me down!"
Unwittingly, Lin Yuan was hoisted onto someone’s shoulder like a little kitten, and the top-heavy feeling made her dizzy right away, somewhat intolerable. Her small fists clenched, she hammered against Xia Zheng’s broad back as hard as she could.
"Hey, put me down quickly! What if someone sees us?"
Even perched on someone’s shoulder, Lin Yuan didn’t forget to look around, thankfully the kitchen obscured the area they had just been in, preventing them from being spotted. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t have been able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Just when Lin Yuan felt her face was so flushed with discomfort, Xia Zheng suddenly put her down, and before she could open her mouth to curse him out, he had already sealed her lips with his.
The brain that had almost been oxygen-deprived from the handstand was now even more dizzy and groggy from being blocked by someone.
Just when Lin Yuan felt she was about to suffocate, Xia Zheng finally let her go.
