347: Chapter 346: Unexpected Move (1) 347: Chapter 346: Unexpected Move (1) He frowned subconsciously.
Asking knowingly in this manner didn’t seem like sothing he was good at, and it even used to be a behavior he despised.
Xu Sisi never imagined that a casual stroll down the street could lead to an encounter with the handso big brother she admired.
Caught by surprise, she forgot to react and could only stare blankly at Jin Ruiyang, holding an ice pop in her hand.
Due to the hot weather, droplets of water dripped from the ice pop onto the ground.
Jin Ruiyang noticed, frowned, and took out a dark blue square scarf from his pocket, handing it to Xu Sisi, “Wipe it off.”
His voice was gentle and warm, comforting to the ear.
Xu Sisi imdiately snapped back to reality, still staring blankly at Jin Ruiyang’s excessively refined and handso face.
Her cheeks turned crimson in an instant, and she stamred, “Tha-thank you, Brother Ruiyang.”
Xu Sisi wasn’t a girl who blushed easily, but listening to Jin Ruiyang’s llow voice and seeing his scholarly handso face was sothing she couldn’t control.
Luckily, she was wearing a mask, or it would have been too embarrassing if he had seen her flush.
She quickly responded to Jin Ruiyang, “I ca here with my cousin; she’s here for a business eting.”
Jin Ruiyang had been dragged back to the capital by Jin Yu, so he naturally knew about Xu Niannian’s visit.
That was why he felt asking her why she was in the capital was sowhat superfluous.
Sisi loved to laugh, and seeing Jin Ruiyang made her smile even brighter, her big doll-like eyes curving into crescents, bright and mischievous.
Jin Ruiyang could tell she was smiling even without seeing her face, and at that mont he noticed Xu Sisi was wearing a mask.
Jin Ruiyang, as if possessed by a demon, reached out towards Xu Sisi’s face in a move he would never usually consider.
He wanted to pull down her mask, which was an unthinkable act in his life.
Even if he was sowhat of a gentleman, he still maintained proper manners.
He would never do sothing as impolite as pulling down soone’s mask, especially not a girl’s.
By the ti Jin Ruiyang realized what he was doing, his fingers had already hooked onto the strap of Xu Sisi’s mask.
Xu Sisi had a scar on her face, and naturally, no girl would want the person she liked to see an imperfection.
So when Jin Ruiyang reached out, she instinctively covered her face and stepped back two paces.
Her eyes betrayed a hint of panic.
Jin Ruiyang snapped back to his senses, regretting his action and frowning as he withdrew his hand.
What was he doing?
To behave so unreasonably was unlike him.
Seeing the frightened expression on the young girl’s face, Jin Ruiyang frowned more deeply, “Did I scare you?
I’m sorry.”
Xu Sisi quickly shook her head, still covering her face, “No, no, it’s not you, Brother Ruiyang.
I overreacted.”
Her clear voice was pleasant to the ear; even though it was her fault, Sisi didn’t get angry at all.
Instead, she took all the responsibility upon herself.
Jin Ruiyang’s gaze softened unconsciously; Sisi was indeed too good-natured.
His behavior had been extrely rude.
Instead of continuing to debate who was at fault, Jin Ruiyang asked her, “Do you have a cold?
Why are you wearing a mask?”
“Ah, this,”
Sisi cradled her face with one hand, her eyes filled with laughter, round and shiny.
“I’m not sick.
I got hurt; I got stitches, and there’s a scar on my face.
I guess it will heal over ti, so I’m covering it with a mask for now.”
Sisi didn’t want Jin Ruiyang to see her injury, but there was no need to hide it from him.
Furthermore, the scar on her face was fading more and more, which solidified her belief that her face would definitely heal.
So she didn’t feel down about it at all.
However, upon hearing this, Jin Ruiyang’s emotions fluctuated suddenly.
Injured?
His eyebrows rose, and even before his mind processed it, his hand swiftly lifted Xu Sisi’s mask, his voice tinged with urgency, “Let see.”
Xu Sisi didn’t expect him to suddenly pull off her mask again, and she was caught off guard.
Her injured face was thus exposed to Jin Ruiyang’s view.
Frightened, she turned her back to Jin Ruiyang and pressed her hands to her face, saying, “Brother Ruiyang, don’t look.”
Clearly, Jin Ruiyang had not only seen it, but he had also seen it very closely and clearly.
Even counting the number of stitch marks on her face.
While the scar had faded quite a bit, it was still noticeable.
“How did you get hurt?” Jin Ruiyang reached out and pulled Xu Sisi’s shoulders, forcing her to face him.
His brows were tightly knit, lips pressed together in a stern expression, completely lacking his usual gentleness and warmth.
Xu Sisi was taken aback; what had gotten into Brother Ruiyang?
Why had he suddenly beco so fierce?
Intimidated by his stern expression, Sisi stood there dumbfounded, forgetting to cover her face.
Hu Yue looked from one to the other, feeling very redundant, and decided to step aside and wait.
Her departure didn’t catch the attention of Xu Sisi or Jin Ruiyang.
Both were completely focused on each other, Sisi not understanding why Jin Ruiyang had beco so serious suddenly, while Jin Ruiyang stared intently at the scar on Sisi’s face.
Not understanding why the sight of her injury was so distasteful to him.
