Lanni did not know how to refute that. He was seriously going to say anything to defend his moves in the past. But thinking about it, she had been avoiding him every chance she got. Perhaps he really should be excused for resorting to using sly tricks, especially since they proved to be effective.
"What are you thinking so hard about?" His voice jolted her out of her thoughts as his hand made a beeline for her neck. He started caressing it in slow circles but just when he was about to kiss her, she suddenly stopped his hand.
After having been interrupted so many times in a row, such a move was frustrating to Ji Xiehan. However, the last thing he wanted was to make her uncomfortable so he obediently stopped before giving her a questioning look.
Lanni was unable to meet his gaze, looking elsewhere as she said, "I’m sorry, I... we can’t do this."
His eyebrows formed a frown. Why? Wasn’t she willing to do it earlier? Did he do something to upset her?
Seeing that he was puzzled but didn’t look like he was going to ask, she offered an answer. "When I went to the bathroom earlier, I realized that my period came. What a bummer." By the end of the statement, her voice was so tiny that he almost couldn’t make out what she was saying.
When he understood what she had just said, he felt bummed too. What awful timing. He was a bit familiar with women’s cycles thanks to his habit of trying to learn a little bit of everything, so he guessed that it had probably been triggered by her sudden change of environment. He should have expected it.
