Chapter 118: Chapter 114: Competing for Favor
Because —
Lu Jingyan took the straw out of his mouth and slowly turned his head to look at soone beside him.
— soone who was dressed like Mu Chuci.
Lu Jingyan: “…”
What did he an by this?
Last night she had casually ntioned liking soone like Mu Chuci, and today he had gone and dressed similarly.
Could it be that he was competing with Mu Chuci for affection?
Competing for affection.
The sudden appearance of these two words in his mind startled Lu Jingyan so much that he nearly spilled his milkshake.
Placed upon soone else, these words might not be a problem, but on Sheng Xian, it really felt inappropriate.
For soone like him, even if he were involved in a competition for affection, it would be others competing for his affection.
Lu Jingyan calmly thought about it, yet felt it wasn’t impossible.
After all, Sheng Xian had been secretly in love with her for so many years…
She had been thinking just a few days ago that he had been acting strangely recently.
Where exactly the strangeness lay she couldn’t quite point out, but now, as she looked at his clothes, and thought back to last night when he treated Lin Wei as a re tool, and asked her about liking that kind of person, a very bold guess suddenly flashed through her mind—
She suspected that Sheng Xian was pursuing her.
Lu Jingyan’s breath hitched, and she couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Sheng Xian.
Sheng Xian, noticing her constantly drifting gaze, lowered his eyelids and stared at her absent-minded face for a while. When her eyes t his again, he tilted his head closer and asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Lu Jingyan’s gaze lingered on his clothes for a few more seconds before she slowly raised her head. Caught off-guard by his question, she blurted out what was on her mind, “Thinking…”
Upon eting his eyes, she suddenly beca aware, hastily swallowed her saliva, and held back the rest of her words.
Luckily, she reacted quickly. If she had directly asked, “Are you pursuing ?” and if he wasn’t, how embarrassing that would have been.
Sheng Xian tilted his head even more, his whole shoulder leaning toward her: “Hmm?”
The cinema was noisy, and he was rather close; his breath tickled her ear, itchy and crisp.
Lu Jingyan tightly grasped her milkshake, the cool touch helping her calm down a bit: “I was thinking about the dream I had last night.”
Sheng Xian followed her lead and asked, “What dream?”
Lu Jingyan imperceptibly moved a little to the side, creating a bit more distance between them, then forcibly suppressed the urge to touch the ear closest to him. Lowering her eyelids and nibbling on the straw, she took a slow sip of her milkshake before calmly saying, “I dread that you ca into the master bedroom in the middle of the night.”
Sheng Xian: “Then what?”
Lu Jingyan opened her mouth but didn’t say the phrases she vaguely rembered dreaming about the night before.
– Like soone like Mu Chuci?
– Okay then.
No matter how she heard it, it sounded like jealousy.
After all, it was just a dream, making it seem as if she expected him to be jealous.
Lu Jingyan blinked: “Then, there’s nothing more.”
Sheng Xian stared at her for a few seconds as if he believed her, casually uttered an “Oh,” and didn’t inquire further, sitting up straight.
The sense of pressure beside her suddenly lessened a lot.
Lu Jingyan quietly heaved a sigh of relief, head bowed, silently sipping her milkshake.
On the surface, she seed like soone without a care, breezy and unconcerned, but actually, her thoughts drifted back to just a mont ago.
Was he pursuing her?
He was pursuing her, wasn’t he?
Caught up in her wild thoughts, Lu Jingyan faintly heard Sheng Xian beside her seemingly utter a sentence.
“It wasn’t a dream.”
She turned her head to look at Sheng Xian.
The movie had started, and he was watching the big screen with an indifferent expression.
As if he had never spoken at all.
