Shen Yuan looked up to see the beautiful girl—his girl—her eyes wide with anger, her face flushing as red as the morning clouds.
The pain in his leg didn't make him flinch. On the contrary, seeing Li Zhi all flustered and full of life like this, a wave of warmth and amusement washed over his heart.
"Heh heh…"
The young man rubbed the sore spot, his features relaxing until they settled into an incredibly radiant, slightly goofy smile.
Far from being annoyed, he scooted a little closer to Li Zhi, his burning gaze locked on her crimson cheeks and her eyes, which were a mixture of shy and cross.
Shen Yuan's eyes crinkled in a smile, the corners of his eyes and brows brimming with a satisfaction so deep it was almost tangible, her reflection shining clearly within them.
Seeing his shameless grin, the indignant embarrassment in Li Zhi's heart strangely gave way to the urge to smile.
"Hmph!"
