Qin Yue stared at Liu Jianhong in a daze, momentarily at a loss for how to react.
Liu Jianhong remained silent, just gazing at her, with a slight upward curve at the corners of his mouth.
"D-Don't joke around."
Qin Yue finally regained her composure slightly, mustering a somewhat forced smile on her face as she spoke to him.
Liu Jianhong blinked in confusion at her words, then decisively shook his head. "Who said I was joking? I'm not joking, I'm serious."
"So… are you saying… you want to stay here and watch me change clothes?"
Liu Jianhong chuckled and nodded, "Yes."
"Was your offer to help me find clothes to wear earlier meant for this?"
Qin Yue's expression darkened and a hint of annoyance seeped into her tone.
Liu Jianhong seemed oblivious to her irritation and, after hearing her words, once again nodded with a cheerful smile.
Qin Yue said disappointedly, "H-How could you do something like this?"
"Do what? What's wrong with it?"
Liu Jianhong furrowed his brows, muttered something under his breath, and then put an innocent expression on his face again.
His face did not match his height and body shape at all.
With his boyish long hair, skin so delicate it could be mistaken for a girl's, a baby face, and a pair of seemingly innocent big eyes, his appearance easily evoked maternal instincts in women.
This made it hard to stay angry at him, no matter how absurd his words or actions were.
"Are you serious? It's definitely not right to do things like this."
Of course, Qin Yue was no exception. Looking at Liu Jianhong, she softened her tone, which had been about to flare up.
"It's good to help others willingly, but you shouldn't do it with such a despicable intention!"
Qin Yue's tone was stern as if she wanted to educate Liu Jianhong.
Liu Jianhong propped himself up on his arms, slowly getting up from the bed. As he walked towards Qin Yue, he spoke, "Firstly, I don't see anything despicable about my intention. Secondly, if it wasn't for this intention, why would I even help you?"
Qin Yue pursed her lips after hearing his words, unsure of how to respond to him immediately.
"Aren't you going to choose clothes?"
Liu Jianhong said, having already walked up to her. He glanced at the nearby wardrobe as he spoke.
"What's wrong? Don't any of the clothes here appeal to you?"
Qin Yue took a deep breath and said, "There's no issue with the clothes. I'll just pick something to wear casually. However, if you insist on staying in the room, I absolutely won't change in front of you."
"Okay, then."
Liu Jianhong nodded slightly, casually acknowledging her response. Then, he lifted his foot and took a step closer to her.
Qin Yue stared blankly at him. Just as she was about to step back, he swiftly raised his hand, reaching out towards her and tightly grabbing the coat draped over her.
"W-What are you doing!?" Qin Yue exclaimed, clutching the coat tightly to her body.
Liu Jianhong's face lit up with a sweet smile. "Hey, aren't you planning to return my clothes before you leave?"
