He patted her head and said in a gentle voice,
"I can't bear to see my girlfriend suffer."
Sheng Yin nearly choked. She corrected him, "Contract Girlfriend."
Yu Shuchang chuckled and leaned toward Sheng Yin. His eyes were burning with an intensity that made Sheng Yin shiver.
She couldn't help but subconsciously try to hide behind the chair, but Yu Shuchang didn't move away.
His eyes stayed on her, sharp and playful.
"Why are you running?" he asked, his voice low.
"I'm not!" Sheng Yin huffed, crossing her arms. "You're just too close!"
Yu Shuchang tilted his head. "Oh? But didn't you say this is fake? Why are you so nervous?"
"I'm not nervous!" she shot back, her voice a little too loud.
Yu Shuchang smirked. "Then why are your ears red?"
Sheng Yin gasped and covered her ears with her hands. "They're not red!"
Yu Shuchang only chuckled. He took a step back, finally giving her space. "Alright."
