Chapter 6 He Asked Me to His Birthday
Rebellious Chi Jin seemed annoyed by everyone.
The next day, He Nan Hang called me out to a remote corner of the corridor.
He casually propped his hands on the wall behind me.
"Saturday is my birthday. Are you coming?"
I was about to refuse when I noticed his new eyebrow piercing, the skin around it faintly swollen.
I swallowed my refusal.
A teacher couldn't control him. Even with a hundred times the courage, I wouldn't dare say no.
After a brief silence, He Nan Hang took my silence as agreement.
"You're quite obedient."
I held my breath. "What if I refuse?"
He Nan Hang raised his brows. "Then I'll beat you up."
At that moment, I was immensely grateful I'd kept quiet.
His expression didn't look like he was joking.
Suddenly a large hand lifted my hair. A cool breeze hit my forehead.
He Nan Hang held me in place. "Don't move."
I frowned and shifted my gaze.
His hand, rough with calluses from playing basketball, pressed against my eyebrow.
"Why is he so pure-looking?" he mumbled.
His face came closer. His gaze fell on my lower face.
"Smells good on you. Did you spray perfume?"
A breeze blew past and goosebumps rose on my skin.
I dodged his hand. "I'll go. I need to get back to my homework."
Before he could react, I fled back to the classroom like a rabbit.
Chi Jin lifted his thin eyelids and gave me a cold glance.
I sat on pins and needles, unsure how I'd angered him again.
Thinking of how the circles of these young masters overlapped, I asked carefully, "Will you go to He Nan Hang's birthday?"
Chi Jin tossed his pen casually and gave a faint smile. "Why not?"
