After a moment of surprise, I suddenly woke up, my heart pounding wildly as if someone was beating a drum inside my chest. The burning sensation on my cheek made me quickly push Kinh Uyen away, my mouth stuttering, my two red ears about to smoke.
"Ah… you… don't do that!"
But Kinh Uyen was still calm, his face didn't have a trace of remorse. He stepped forward step by step, his tall figure gradually covering me. My hand unconsciously retreated, until my back touched the cold wall. I paused for a moment, my throat dry, unable to retreat even half a step.
"Ah… don't come any closer…!"
My voice trembled, sounding weak, no different from a plea. Kinh Uyen stopped, his deep eyes seemed to be looking straight into my heart. He tilted his head slightly, the corners of his lips curved up, a vague smile appeared.
I swallowed my saliva, mustering up all my courage to threaten him, my voice also lost because of nervousness:
"You… if you still don't move away from me then… then I will… will teach you a lesson!"
Hearing that, Kinh Uyen slightly raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed with amusement. He leaned over, close to my ear, his warm breath blowing out made my heart tremble slightly.
"Young master wants… to teach me a lesson in what way?"
His voice was low and drawn out, as if he was deliberately teasing me.
I only intended to scare him into backing away, but unexpectedly Kinh Uyen said that sentence, causing me to freeze in place. My whole body stiffened, my mouth stuttered, "I… I… I…" but I couldn't form words.
Seeing my confused appearance, he took advantage of the momentum and took advantage of it. Kinh Uyen grabbed my wrist with one hand, gently stroking his thumb on the back of my hand. That simple action made me feel like I was lightly electrocuted, my heart both embarrassed and panicked. I tried to pull my hand back, but his strength was too strong, my hand was held tightly in his warm, enveloping palm, there was no way to escape.
He looked at me, his lips slightly raised, his eyes like a deep, dark, and unpredictable underground stream.
I was startled, my heart beat faster, my eyes were lost, not daring to look straight. It seemed like the air in the room had thickened, only the sound of our breathing mixed together could be heard.
Kinh Uyen spoke softly, his voice low and full of hidden meaning:
"Young master, you like this… really make others take advantage of you."
I jumped slightly, my heart jumped. A vague fear welled up in my chest, making my eyes sting. I raised my head to look at him, my eyes were wet, a little aggrieved, a little like I was about to cry.
Seeing me like that, Kinh Uyen also stopped. His gaze softened slightly, he let out a soft sigh and let go of my hand. From his pocket, he pulled out a handkerchief and slowly wiped away the tears that were still lingering in the corners of my eyes. His movements were so gentle that my heart trembled with each beat of his hand.
"I didn't do anything to you," he said softly, his voice much softer, "why are you so tearful that if you didn't know, you would think I was bullying you?"
I pursed my lips, dissatisfied with that statement. As soon as I looked up, I met his eyes, my mind was in turmoil again, my voice was small but still stuttering:
"You… you're lying. You're clearly…"
I paused again when I said this. Thinking carefully, he didn't do anything too outrageous, it was just… those actions, those eyes made my heart a little displeased, making me feel a little uncomfortable. I lowered my head, my fingers tightening the hem of my shirt, not knowing what to say.
Kinh Uyen tilted his head, looked at me, his voice half laughing, half coaxing:
"Then young master, tell me, what did I do to you… that made you act like this?"
In his mind, he thought: "If this brat keeps showing this silly expression, I'm afraid that anyone who sees it will want to bully him…"
As for me, I lowered my head, and after a while, I softly replied:
"You… you make me very… very uncomfortable. Not comfortable at all…"
That sentence made Kinh Uyen stunned. He looked at me for a long time, then suddenly let out a soft laugh, that smile was vague, carrying a hint of ambiguity. I was startled, not understanding what he was thinking, when I saw him wrap his arms around my waist, pulling me closer.
"Young master…" he lowered his head, his hot breath beside my ear "If you say that… it will cause people to misunderstand."
The warmth from his voice made my ears burn, my mind went blank, my heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest...
