Gu Xiao was at a complete loss, her mind a blank due to overwhelming nervousness, making it difficult for her to express herself clearly.
She saw Ling Hanxiao walking towards her, froze for a moment, then hurriedly lowered her head, gripping the covers tightly with both hands.
Her heartbeat was entirely chaotic.
Ling Hanxiao came over and sat on the edge of the bed, his deep and gentle voice resonating above her head, "Gu Xiao, look at me."
Gu Xiao slowly lifted her head, her shy and evasive eyes meeting his fiery and intense gaze, her cheeks slightly warm and instinctively trying to avoid his stare.
A distinctly jointed, large hand came into her line of sight, reaching out and lightly holding her chin.
It didn't allow her to lower her head, nor did it allow her to avoid and dodge.
Ling Hanxiao narrowed his phoenix-like eyes slightly, his profound gaze sweeping across the slight exposure of skin on her chest with implication.
