The two of them were in a deadlock for a while. Yi Zheng’s gaze became even more affectionate. “Can 1? If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you.”
Shi Man looked at him in silence. As their gazes met, she could tell that he was deeply in love with her. However, she did not understand why she suddenly liked him. After hesitating, she suddenly wanted to reexamine his face.
This man’s appearance was very worthy of the male lead’s description in the book. He was better looking than any man she had ever seen. His masculine aura occasionally made her heart beat faster.
She suddenly wanted to indulge herself. Anyway, what was wrong with just a kiss?
Shi Man made up her mind and curled her fingers slightly. A trace of playfulness appeared on her expressionless face.
Yi Zheng immediately widened his eyes in surprise, like a puppy about to be rewarded by its master. He hurriedly leaned his face forward.
Shi Man chuckled and leaned closer. Her lips were aimed at his cheek, and an ambiguous atmosphere erupted between the two of them.
…..
Yi Zheng felt the chaotic sounds around the hospital suddenly quieten down. There was only Shi Man left in his heart and eyes. He could only hear her rapid breathing like his. The closer he got, the wilder his heart beat, and it almost jumped out of his throat.
“What are you doing?” Shi Mu glared at Yi Zheng coldly and strode over to pull Shi Man behind him. “Yi Zheng, I’m warning you. My sister doesn’t have that intention toward you. Don’t try to abduct my sister!”
Yi Zheng frowned in dissatisfaction at being interrupted. Manic anger instantly erupted around him. “Who asked you to come?”
Shi Mu widened his eyes and pointed at himself innocently. “Do 1 need to inform you in advance that I’m here to see my sister? You have a guilty conscience. If 1 hadn’t come today, what would you have done to my sister in the hospital? You beast!”
Yi Zheng’s expression darkened when he was suddenly scolded. His tone was gloomy. “Your sister and 1 are engaged. There’s nothing that we can’t do. You don’t have to interfere!”
Shi Mu immediately turned to look at Shi Man indignantly. He pointed at Yi Zheng and glared at him. “Sister, do you think Brother is more important than this guy?”
Yi Zheng instantly looked over expectantly. On closer look, she could see a trace of grievance in his shallow eyes.
Shi Man pursed her lips speechlessly and decided not to choose either. She turned around expressionlessly and returned to the ward.
Shi Mu hurriedly chased after her. Before he left, he didn’t forget to turn around and roll his eyes at Yi Zheng. Then, after following his sister into the ward, he didn’t forget to guard against Yi Zheng as if he was a thief and locked the door immediately.
He followed behind Shi Man as if he was facing a great enemy and said, “Sister, you can’t be soft-hearted. Don’t forget how that guy treated you in the past. He must have ill intentions for suddenly expressing goodwill to you now! He must have ulterior motives!” Shi Man sat by Su Tang’s bed in amusement and checked if she had finished the porridge in her bowl. She also washed some fruits for her. When she came out of the pantry, Shi Mu was still nagging. Shi Man was immediately convinced. “Alright, alright. 1’11 pay attention in the future.”
“That’s right!” Shi Mu nodded seriously.
Su Tang listened to Shi Mu’s nagging in confusion. She blinked and asked Shi Man for help. “Manman, did something happen just now?”
“Sister Su Tang!” Shi Mu seemed to have found a soulmate who knew how to respond to him. He quickly hugged her hand and said, “Yi Zheng actually wanted to kiss Manman just now. If 1 hadn’t stopped him, Manman would have been killed by him now.”
Su Tang widened her eyes in shock, but her gaze was focused on Shi Mu’s hand that was holding hers tightly.
Shi Man snatched her hand back as if nothing had happened and stuffed her with a peeled apple. She smiled and said, “Eat your food. Ignore him.”
Seeing that Shi Mu’s nervous expression did not seem to be fake, Su Tang boldly asked, “Manman, did you really… kiss Brother Yi Zheng just now?”
Shi Man almost spat out the tea that had just entered her mouth. She choked and coughed a few times before barely catching her breath. “I didn’t think of that. 1 just wanted to kiss his face.”
Hearing her say such things so bluntly, Su Tang’s mouth widened in disbelief. After a while, she put away the shocked expression on her face and pursed her lips with a conflicted expression. “If Manman likes him, it’s not impossible. From the looks of it, Brother Yi Zheng probably likes Manman a lot. You two can be considered to be in love.” “What do you mean by mutual love? In my opinion, you girls are just too innocent. That’s why you were easily deceived by Yi Zheng!” Whenever Shi Mu mentioned Yi Zheng, he never said anything good. This time was naturally no exception.
He counted with his fingers the countless evil deeds Yi Zheng had done to Shi Man in the past. He spoke until his mouth was dry before drinking a sip of water to moisten his throat. He concluded, “So he doesn’t really like Manman at all.. He’s just not used to a person who has always liked him suddenly having a change of heart!”
