Chapter 7 Charm Increased[Part 1]
Her heart leapt into her throat, gripped by an overwhelming fear that Zhou Yi might say he was leaving.
The young man stood a head taller than her. Bending slightly, Zhou Yi leaned closer with a smile and asked softly, "Do you want me to stay, Sister Wen?"
As they drew near, their breaths mingled, each able to feel the warmth of the other's presence. For some inexplicable reason, his voice carried a magnetic charm that felt unusually alluring in that moment.
Jing Wen's heartbeat accelerated. A blush crept across her cheeks as she whispered shyly, "Of course, I'd like you to stay."
Zhou Yi lowered his gaze and smiled gently, blowing softly on Jing Wen's pale hand. "If Sister Wen wants me to stay, then I'll stay," he said tenderly.
Looking at the young man before her, Jing Wen's heart began to race uncontrollably. Her face flushed hot, and her breathing grew rapid, as though something within her had slipped beyond her grasp.
She couldn't understand what was happening to her. Ever since Xiao Yi returned today, she felt herself acting strangely, almost as if her emotions were unraveling without permission.
Flustered, she pulled her hand away from Zhou Yi's grasp, averting her eyes and nervously tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "Well... alright then. I—I need to get back to work. Xiao Yi, why don't you rest for a while?"
Jing Wen practically stumbled away from Zhou Yi, her movements clumsy and awkward.
