Lin Chu turned her head around and said, "Master Yan, thanks for your help tonight. I"ll walk on my own after putting my shoes on."
She looked at Yan Ningbai after that. He looked puzzled and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Can I have my shoes back? Thank you for helping me to carry them just now," Lin Chu replied and smiled.
She had not fully emerged from the shock that she had just experienced. Her eyes and cheeks were still red and when she smiled, she bore a close resemblance to a rabbit.
Yan Beicheng stared at her and suddenly moved his face closer to hers.
Lin Chu felt a wave of heat hitting upon her cheeks and a familiar scent followed through. She turned her head in surprise and found herself staring at an enlarged face of Yan Beicheng.
Even if his facial features were enlarged, he did not look funny or odd. In fact, he looked even better up close.
His lips were almost touching hers, and his gaze seemed to fall on her lips as he looked down. Lin Chu got nervous, and her lips trembled uncontrollably.
He was so close to her that it did not seem like an illusion that her lips were burned by the heat of his breath. She took in a breath unintentionally, so close to him that she could actually taste the air that he was breathing out. Feeling the heightening tension, she immediately held her breath and kept her body still.
She forgot that she could actually lean backward. She watched his alluring lips flashed by just an inch away from her. One unintentional slip and his lips could accidentally brush against hers, but it did not. He leaned toward her and his long masculine fingers went around her back. He grabbed the safety belt and buckled her up with it.
Lin Chu was speechless, "…"
She had wanted to get off the car.
He stretched his long arms towards the backseat and fumbled for a pair of shoes. He bent his body and grabbed her ankle with one hand.
"I can wear them on my own." Lin Chu said as she quickly withdrew her legs.
"Stop moving. There"s only so much room in the car, it"s not convenient for you to bend over with your seat belt on," Yan Beicheng said lightly.
"…"
Then you should let me wear my shoes before helping me to fasten my seatbelt!
Perhaps not, I should not even fasten my seatbelt after putting on my shoes, I should just get down from the car and leave.
However, Yan Beicheng was already holding her foot, her heel was entirely wrapped in the palm of his hand. She felt her body heating up, and a numbing sensation traveled from her heel to her sole, then to her calf and reached her heart eventually.
It was dim inside the car, but Lin Chu"s face was as red as a lantern. She lowered her head and saw Yan Beicheng staring downward silently. He looked pretty decent with his well-defined facial features, almost like a different person from the hooligan who was not wearing his pants in front of her just now.
"Where do you stay? I"ll send you home." His voice seemed to be floating, but she could not hear him properly. Her scalp was still tingling, her ears were burning and it seemed to have made her lose her hearing ability.
Suddenly, her forehead was pressed against by something warm and she immediately regained her senses. She realized that Yan Beicheng was actually putting the back of his hand on her bare forehead.
Lin Chu turned her head to the other side, but he looked extremely worried with his eyebrows pressed together into a frown as he asked, "Why is your forehead burning hot? Are you sick?"
"No," Lin Chu denied without hesitation. "My body temperature is naturally high."
