Chapter 194: Chapter 193: Some Warmth, Meeting Too Late (3) Chapter 194: Chapter 193: Some Warmth, Meeting Too Late (3) âWhatâs wrong?â
Ten minutes later, Su Shu, who Tang Zelin had taken to a quiet, uninhabited open space near the gym, still asked worriedly.
Tang Zelin moved a flat, large stone for her, cleaned it off, and patted it: âSit here, the ground is cold.â
âAnd you?â she asked as she sat down as instructed.
Tang Zelin gave a light smile, sat down cross-legged directly on the ground, his demeanor relaxed and unrestrained like stars roaming free in the night sky.
âWe men arenât that delicate.â
Su Shu pretended to stand up, really, this man could infuriate her to death three times a day.
âIâm not that delicate either!â
A large hand grasped her wrist and firmly kept her in place on the stone slab.
âJust teasing you, you little thing, quite stubborn, arenât you?â
Su Shu was silent, but she vigorously shook off the manâs hand.
âMen and women shouldnât be too close.â
He burst out laughing.
âWhat about us having already kissed, how does that count?â
Tang Zelin supported himself with his hands behind him, his gaze tenderly fixating on the girlâs still-swollen red lips, feeling a sudden surge of heat in his lower body.
âDamn it!â he growled lowly.
Unable to maintain his casual backward-leaning position, he leaned forward quickly, his arms resting on his knees, nodding towards the weeds on the ground in front of him to hide and calm the heat in his lower body.
Su Shu watched him curiously, as he leaned back and then forward.
Whatâs wrong?
Stomach upset?
Su Shu leaned over and turned her head towards Tang Zelin.
âWhatâs wrong? Where does it hurt?â
Tang Zelin frowned, inwardly lamenting, girl, donât speak, when you do, it hurts even more there.
âTang Zelin, where does it hurt?â Su Shu extended her hand, trying to find where he was in pain.
Tang Zelin growled low: âItâs nothing.â
Su Shu blinked her big eyes, gradually realizing what might be wrong with Tang Zelin.
A sly glint flashed through the girlâs eyes.
Let you bully me all day!
Feigning ignorance, Su Shu got up from the stone slab and squatted next to Tang Zelin, tilting her head with an âoverly concernedâ tone.
âHow can it be nothing? I see youâre sweating on your forehead, could it be a stomach ache? Do you have any medicine?â
Tang Zelin looked down, clenching his teeth.
The girlâs continuously caring voice, soft and delicate, echoed in his ears in the tranquil night, spreading an irresistible allure.
Su Shu couldnât help but smile inwardly.
Facing a man as formidable as a god, she suddenly seemed to find the right way to counterattack.
âGroup Captain Tang, let me accompany you to the hospital to have a look?â
Tang Zelin was silent.
âIf youâre ill, you should treat it early before it turns into a severe illness⊠Mm!â
Her remaining words were suddenly stopped by the manâs lips.
Supporting himself with one hand, his elbow propped on his legs, Tang Zelin looked at Su Shuâs blushing face with a smiling glance.
âYou little Fox, always plotting, enjoying seeing me in distress, right?â
They were both adults, after all, and some things were said euphemistically, but Su Shu wasnât truly foolish; she was just playing the fool.
âNot at all.â
âNot at all?â his voice rose at the end, clearly skeptical.
âI was concerned about you.â
âI could hear the laughter in your heart, didnât expect you to be plotting while pretending to be innocent.â
Su Shu took a deep breath and snorted: âAre only officials allowed to light fires?â
Tang Zelin shook his head, âThe one lighting fires is clearly you. I was halfway burnt already, and instead of trying to put out the fire, you were thinking of adding fuel to the fire, such wicked intentions!â
She wicked?!
Could her mischief possibly surpass his?!!!
Watching Su Shu, whose expressions became exceptionally lively as she got provoked by him, Tang Zelinâs eyes curled more deeply, his gaze growing darker.
His instinct was not wrong; with her company tonight, it wasnât as bone-chillingly cold as he had imagined.
