"I'm hungry, let's eat!" Jiang Yao moved a little and prepared to get down from Lu Xingzhi's legs. She was not used to Lu Xingzhi's sweet-talk and this flirty way of sitting on his lap.
"Let me hug you more if you haven't starved to death." Lu Xingzhi pulled her back and even placed her leg, which was already on the floor, around his waist. This position was even more suggestive than the previous one. However, he did not do anything besides wrapping her in his arms, embracing her just as he said.
Jiang Yao did not struggle. She leaned against his chest and listened to his calm heartbeat thumping.
"Jiang Yao, don't be afraid of me. Don't ever be. Anybody in this world can be afraid of me, except you."
His mumbling was very soft, but every single word entered her ears, each of them knocking at her heart.
"Okay." Jiang Yao leaned on his chest and answered him softly, her hands gently wrapping around his waist.
She was not afraid.
