Chapter 669: Ambiguity
Just as Yan Shen came back to his senses from his dazed state, he got such a fright at seeing Chu Ning’s half-exposed back that he instantly turned around with such an exaggerated movement that Chu Ning turned to look at him in confusion.
When she only saw Yan Shen’s back. She took a deep breath helplessly and suddenly raised her voice. "Yan Shen!"
Yan Shen had begun to recite a mind-cleansing mantra. He kept repeating in his head that he was a gentleman and must not have those dirty thoughts. When he heard his name, he subconsciously straightened his back and replied loudly, "Here!"
Awkwardness emanated from the pair, freezing the air in the entire room.
At this moment, Chu Ning thought of Xu Xi at the KTV. A strange thought appeared in her mind. Did these rich kids who were good at their studies like to call out when their names were called? Were they discussing what military training they were going to participate in?
Yan Shen’s face flushed all the way to his neck. He was at a loss, not knowing what to do with his hands and feet. He thought of rushing out the door, but it was as if every muscle in his body had lost control. He couldn’t move an inch.
Chu Ning tapped on the phone in her hand. There were only eight minutes left. Chu Ning did not have time to continue thinking about nonsense. She quickly said to Yan Shen, "Hurry up and help me zip up. There are only eight minutes until eight o’clock. It’s the first banquet. If we’re late, it’ll be embarrassing."
Yan Shen squeezed out the word ’okay’ from between his teeth. He stiffly walked over and tried a few times before finally pulling up the stubborn zipper.
After the zipper had been pulled up, the duo simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief. Chu Ning looked at her phone. There was still time. She walked to the mirror and tidied her hair, saying to Yan Shen, "There’s nothing else, right? Let’s go."
Yan Shen took out a handkerchief and silently wiped the sweat off his forehead. He nodded and said, "Let’s go."
