Chapter 386: Childhood Friends Must Be Cultivated from a Young Age (69)

Jiang Chen stared blankly at the person in front of him with his big eyes.

An Ziyu smiled at him.

Jiang Chen’s mouth pouted, and the sensitive little guy, startled, burst into tears while searching for his mother’s comfort, “Hug… hug…”

Xiao Xueqing quickly picked him up, “Why are you crying? Chenchen, be good. We can play after your sister finishes her tutoring. How about we go have some milk now?”

Jiang Chen buried his little face into her, hiccuping, “Wah…”

Shen Mubai glanced skeptically at the young male lead.

He seemed to notice her gaze and gave a harmless smile.

The soft, low voice continued explaining things.

Shen Mubai rested her chin on her hand, nodding absentmindedly with her eyelids drooping, appearing listless.

An Ziyu ruffled her hair and asked gently, “Are you tired?”

Shen Mubai yawned, a few tears forming at the corners of her eyes, and said drowsily, “A little…”

Her voice was slightly nasal, soft, and almost like it had a hook.

An Ziyu’s eyes darkened, and he leaned in to kiss her.

Shen Mubai was caught off guard by the sudden kiss, her eyes widening slightly.

The girl’s surprise gave An Ziyu the opportunity to deepen the kiss, sliding his tongue between her lips and kissing her until she was breathless.

It wasn’t until a textbook fell off the table that Shen Mubai snapped back to reality and abruptly pushed him away.

An Ziyu chuckled softly, his gaze fixed on her, his voice slightly hoarse, “Luoluo, you’re still so shy.”

Shen Mubai’s face turned red, unable to find words to express her anger at the shameless person in front of her.

An Ziyu’s lips curved into a slight smile as he leaned closer and licked her lips, murmuring, “So sweet.”

Shen Mubai, feeling embarrassed, covered her lips and said, “Don’t come near me.”

An Ziyu’s eyes softened, “Okay, if Luoluo doesn’t want it, then I won’t.”

This guy was really taking advantage and acting all innocent.

Shen Mubai was so frustrated that she couldn’t vent her anger, but she knew that if she continued to argue, she would be the one to suffer.

So she pouted and remained silent.

An Ziyu realized that continuing to tease her would eventually go too far, so he smiled and asked, “Are you still tired? If not, we can continue.”

Having been forced into this situation, Shen Mubai had long lost any drowsiness and could only nod in resignation.

She looked at the young male lead’s profile as he seriously explained things, noticing how striking he looked.

His refined face and thin lips gave a heart-throbbing feeling, especially his genuinely gentle smile…

Wait a minute, Shen Mubai paused.

She suddenly noticed that there was a difference between how the young male lead behaved in front of others and how he acted with her.

Though he was still gentle and elegant on the surface, there was an added warmth when he was with her.

She daydreamed, thinking that if another girl were in her place, he would probably make her very happy…

“What are you thinking about?” An Ziyu ruffled her hair, his tone filled with affection.

Shen Mubai stared at the male lead and asked in a daze, “Why do you like me?”

She thought about it and realized that, besides having a good appearance, she didn’t really have much to offer.

Oh, and she could cook a few simple dishes.

An Ziyu’s eyes were fixed on her, emotions swirling, “Is there a need for a reason to like Luoluo?”

He slightly lifted the corner of his lips, his tone almost indulgent, “If I had to find a reason, it would definitely be…”

“My heart was born for you.”
