She suddenly gave a coy smile and made the most bashful and shy expression she had never made in her life, even her voice was unprecedentedly whiny, "I was just thinking about the gentleman who came that day. You didn’t see him, but that gentleman was so handsome, and even his voice was so mesmerizing.

It’s been several days since we last met, and I really miss him terribly.

Ah, they say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and now I know why these past days I’ve been so listless, not caring for tea or food,—it’s because I haven’t seen that gentleman for years. "

As Lin Yuan pretended to be lovestruck, she observed the reaction of a certain big jar of vinegar, but to her surprise, Xia Zheng, who usually would flip out just at the mention of a name, was just squinting his eyes, looking at her calmly as if he felt nothing at all.

Lin Yuan was angry. Shouldn’t he be accusing her angrily for thinking about someone else? Or, with his bad temper, he should have directly taken a knife and ended the man she was thinking about in her heart.

But what was his reaction, what was his expression now! Damn it, she had no place in his heart at all!

"Xia Zheng, you, hey! Put me down! Put me down!"

Unwittingly, Lin Yuan was hoisted onto someone’s shoulder like a little kitten, and the top-heavy feeling made her dizzy right away, somewhat intolerable. Her small fists clenched, she hammered against Xia Zheng’s broad back as hard as she could.

"Hey, put me down quickly! What if someone sees us?"

Even perched on someone’s shoulder, Lin Yuan didn’t forget to look around, thankfully the kitchen obscured the area they had just been in, preventing them from being spotted. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t have been able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Just when Lin Yuan felt her face was so flushed with discomfort, Xia Zheng suddenly put her down, and before she could open her mouth to curse him out, he had already sealed her lips with his.

The brain that had almost been oxygen-deprived from the handstand was now even more dizzy and groggy from being blocked by someone.

Just when Lin Yuan felt she was about to suffocate, Xia Zheng finally let her go.

Lin Yuan was breathing in the fresh air in big gulps, wishing she could fill every lobe of her lungs.

Xia Zheng, still unsatisfied, licked his lips and raised an eyebrow with a wicked smile, "How about that? Did all the water in your brain come out yet?"

Lin Yuan made an "Eh" sound, suddenly unsure of how to continue the conversation.

Water in the brain?

She used to always say "Your brain has water in it" to him, so how come today he was saying it to her?

"What’s the matter? Still thinking about that man? It seems I didn’t empty your head thoroughly enough. Come on, let me drain it for you once more."

With that, Xia Zheng stretched out his hands, prepared to once again lift Lin Yuan’s slim waist for another "handstand."

Lin Yuan stepped back in horror, shaking her hands frantically, "No, no, enough is enough, I won’t think about that man anymore, not anymore."

However, just as Lin Yuan had finished speaking and looked up to see the fleeting smile in someone’s eyes, her face darkened instantly. Damn it, Xia Zheng did it on purpose!

He knew she was pretending from the moment she mentioned missing that gentleman. And she had actually thought he truly didn’t care, but out of nowhere, he staged a sudden attack, both teaching her a lesson and taking advantage of the situation!

This Xia Zheng, this trickster! She was so infuriated!

"Xia Zheng, you did that on purpose!"

Fists raining down on Xia Zheng’s chest like raindrops, this time Lin Yuan was really angry, her blows leaving no mercy.
