Chapter 12 I Like You Too
I thought he meant I’d borrow his clothes for now.
But when he opened the walk-in closet, it was filled with women’s dresses in every style.
“I wasn’t sure which brands or fabrics you liked, so I got a little of everything.”
Something sweet and warm bloomed in my chest—something I’d never felt before.
I looked at his gentle, slightly flushed face and suddenly understood.
Someone loved me.
“I’ll wait outside.”
As he turned to leave, I hugged him from behind.
“The zipper is too high… can you help?”
His whole body went rigid.
When he turned back, his earlobes were bright red, his Adam’s apple bobbing.
“Okay.”
His breath was hot against my ear, cedar scent wrapping around me.
His fingers trembled when they touched my skin. I heard his sharp inhale.
“It’s… open.”
In his haste, his hand caught my strap. As he pulled away, the dress slipped down with it.
“I-I’m sorry…”
His gaze flared hot for a second before he jerked his eyes away.
“Gu Jiao, I didn’t mean—”
He stumbled over apologies.
I rose on my toes and pressed my lips to his.
“Shen Zhiye, I like you too.”
His eyes widened.
When his gaze drifted back to my bare skin, raw desire flooded his eyes.
“Gu Jiao, are you sure? Because I won’t let you take it back.”
