Chapter 300: It Didn't Happen

Cheng Jingshu didn't look up, yet she could feel the temperature in Nangong Jue's eyes drop drastically.

So cold.

Colder than the sub-zero temperatures outside.

His gaze swept over her exposed skin, sharp as a knife.

Cheng Jingshu's heart inexplicably tightened.

Her lips parted lightly, opening and closing.

She wanted to speak but couldn't make a sound.

All she could do was tighten her arms around herself, hugging tighter and burying her head in her knees.

Suddenly, a coat was placed over her head.

Nangong Jue's breath came fast, enveloping her.

She instinctively lifted her head to find herself blocked by the coat, her vision filled with darkness.

She couldn't see Nangong Jue, only hearing the sound of his footsteps as he walked away; she didn't have the courage to call him back.

Cheng Jingshu's hands trembled, one clutching the edge of the coat tightly, the other bracing against the wall as she slowly stood up.
