Ever since Lu Sheng revealed that he’s a God and took Lan Yu on a trip to Hell, she’s been in a state of continuous excitement for the past few days.
Absolutely incredible! Now she not only has a divine friend, but she’s also visited a badass place like Hell!
The frustrating part is that it’s Lu Sheng’s secret, and she can’t divulge it to anyone.
So, all the experiences from the journey to Hell, Lan Yu can’t share with others and can only reminisce about them in secret.
To outsiders, it seemed like Lan Yu was strangely staring at the wall, occasionally her eyes gleaming and cheeks blushing.
Of course, the blush was due to the explosive scene on the first level of Hell.
However, in Han Jing’s eyes, Lan Yu’s behavior seemed incredibly abnormal!
After a guy from the same department stopped Lan Yu after school on Friday and publicly confessed his love, Lan Yu returned after the weekend behaving like this.
Could it be that the guy sought her out again over the weekend after being rejected, and something developed between them that Han Jing wasn’t aware of?
Han Jing grew more suspicious and frustrated the more he thought about it. Finally, he couldn’t hold back any longer that evening and drove straight to Lan Yu’s house.
Without even notifying the servant, he went directly to Lan Yu’s room, forgetting to knock before entering.
As the bedroom door swung open, he was met with Lan Yu stepping out of the bathroom, her long hair dripping wet, clad only in a towel.
The moment their eyes met, the air fell quiet for an instant.
The next second, Lan Yu clutched her chest and screamed: "Ahhhh!! Han Jing, are you mad!? Why didn’t you knock before coming in!"
Initially, Han Jing had planned on leaving upon seeing Lan Yu just out of the shower. But after some thought, he chose to stay and went straight in, closing the door firmly behind him.
"Lan Yu, I need to talk to you."
Talk?
About what?
Seeing Han Jing’s serious expression, Lan Yu, initially startled, now felt confused: "...What’s up, did something happen?"
Han Jing took a deep breath, feeling so aggrieved his eyes almost reddened: "It’s not that something happened to me; something happened to you. Who have you been constantly thinking about these days?"
"...Ha?" Lan Yu looked baffled, "I’m not thinking about anyone."
Han Jing’s eyes were sharp: "You’re not thinking about anyone? Then why do you always look mysteriously dazed and occasionally blush?"
"Dazed and blushing? That’s because, because..." Lan Yu stammered, failing to continue.
She really wanted to share her weekend experiences with Han Jing because he was the closest person to her. But the problem is, she can’t speak about it.
The best she can do is push Han Jing out of the room: "I am not dazed and blushing, don’t imagine things. You should leave; I need to change... ah!"
Before Lan Yu could finish, she felt a spin of the world and found herself pinned by Han Jing against the wall.
Han Jing lowered his head, standing closely, his warm breath falling on their lips.
"If you don’t speak, I won’t leave."
As he spoke, Han Jing moved his lips closer. His usual casual and uninhibited eyes now carried an intense and insistent look for the first time.
"Is it that guy who confessed to you? How could he ever compare to me? Is he taller than me, handsomer, wealthier, or does he understand you better?"
Lan Yu had absolutely no idea where Han Jing got his assumptions from.
Hadn’t she rejected the confession from that guy a few days ago? How could she possibly still think about him?
Their proximity and her scant attire made her feel incredibly embarrassed.
Lan Yu’s nervousness made it hard for her to breathe; her face and body were burning up, so she could only push Han Jing away haphazardly.
"What nonsense are you thinking, why would I think about that guy? I only met him that once and don’t remember what he looks like."
Han Jing replied, "You know I’m imagining things. If you don’t tell me, how could I ever stop imagining?"
"Do you know that I..." His words faltered suddenly.
