Chapter 4: Who is he? _1
He asked her to open her eyes, but...
How could she dare to?
The thing in her hand was reminding her non-stop of her predicament, that, and the man's awkward situation.
The only thing she couldn't understand was, why this man seemed so calm.
"Here, take it back..."
She lay still on the ground, eyes tightly shut, soaked in cold sweat. She wasn't sure if it was fear or nervousness...
Watching the white towel in her hand swinging, a strange glint flashed through Lu Zhanbei's dark eyes. "I said, open your eyes!"
The voice above her head was magnetic, carrying the unique raspiness of one fresh from a bath.
Charming, delightful.
She suddenly opened her eyes...
And unexpected, she met a pair of hawk-like eyes.
Cold! Incredibly cold!
This man seemed to carry the attributes of ice and snow. His mere breath was enough to give her chills...
Her grape-like eyes widening in fear, Gu Qianqian looked at him closely.
Female instincts told her not to linger here. This was not a place for conversation, especially with this...
...strange man.
"Are you, an adult?"
Confused by his question, Gu Qianqian replied automatically, "Ni... Nineteen!"
"Oh..."
He lifts his tone at the end, but there is no trace of excitement on his face.
Nineteen, still growing up, and yet out here...
His towering body loomed closer, Lu Zhanbei's domineering presence, in an overwhelming manner, took over all the space above Gu Qianqian.
This stance, Gu Qianqian gasped in surprise!
She pushed him away as hard as she could, using all the strength she had, but the man before her didn't budge at all...
Suddenly, Lu Zhanbei's eyes dimmed sharply!
Danger!
Gu Qianqian was keenly aware of this, but she was trapped under the man's tall figure, nowhere to retreat...
Perhaps the bathroom was too small, or the man was too oppressive.
At that moment, Gu Qianqian felt a severe lack of air around her.
Breathing was difficult, she felt as though her lungs were about to explode, as suffocation charged at her relentlessly, she felt a shortage of oxygen...
"Breathe!"
With his admonition, a strong wave of hormones hit her. His large hand forcefully opened her mouth, forcing her to take a deep breath.
So, she had been so nervous that she'd forgotten to breathe!
"Do you understand what you're doing?"
"I, I..."
She didn't understand. She had just come to use the bathroom...
No, this was clearly her room, why was there a man here all of a sudden? A dangerous one at that?
"This is my room!"
She mustered the courage to speak up, but her voice was as weak and feeble as a small kitten's.
"Your room?"
The man's handsome and tall figure loomed over her, his sharp eyes staring at her face, his gaze mocking.
His eyes, they made her feel like she was a dish stripped bare in front of him.
How... How did things become like this?
Who on earth was he?
