She opened her mouth, but the words "No way!" got stuck in her throat and never came out.
Her gaze drifted involuntarily to the bed, which was covered with a fluffy fleece blanket. Seeing San Geng and Naonao curled up comfortably again, her heart gave a little thump in her chest.
The beautiful girl sniffled, sharply turning her face away from Shen Yuan's scorching gaze. All he could see was the profile of her crimson face and her trembling eyelashes.
She raised her hand, not to push him away, but to pinch the arm Shen Yuan had wrapped around her in a fit of pique. Then, she huffed loudly.
"Hmph! I... I'm not trying to lie down with you! I-I'm going to play with the kitties!"
Li Zhi's voice, still thick and nasal, was no longer shrill. The words squeezed out from between her lips in a sullen mumble.
As she finished speaking, she also "accidentally" stepped on Shen Yuan's toes as an added punishment.
"You... You stay away from me! Don't be so clingy!"
