Chapter 73 - 72: Accident! Hope for Restarting the Simulation
Chen Pingchuan pressed his ear tightly against the door.
In fact, even without doing so, his keen sense of hearing was enough to discern the movements inside. However, a force called habit compelled him to make this move involuntarily.
Hearing the rustling of someone cleaning up glass shards outside, Chen Pingchuan turned and walked to Belia’s bed. He pulled a chair from the desk and sat directly opposite her, staring straight into her eyes.
Chen Pingchuan had expected his sister to be frightened. To his surprise, not only was she unafraid, but she stared back at him with blazing eyes.
Feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, Chen Pingchuan gave up on his plan to intimidate her. "Alright, alright, stop staring," he said, finally breaking. "Aren’t you afraid of me?"
"Not afraid!"
Belia’s eyes were so bright that Chen Pingchuan felt a pang of self-reproach.
This sister is just too adorable. Her soft, cute appearance, combined with that little-adult demeanor, creates a contrast so strong it could melt anyone’s heart.
Chen Pingchuan shook his head abruptly, deeply annoyed with himself. I should just slap myself. What is this nonsense I’m thinking?
"Are you acting strange?"
Belia suddenly stood, her hands gripping the armrests. She leaned in, moving her head closer and closer to Chen Pingchuan’s face, stopping only when they could feel each other’s breath.
He was the first to break under the strange atmosphere. Chen Pingchuan cupped Belia’s small face in his hands and gently but firmly pushed her back onto the bed.
