Chapter 499: Saving the Jealous School Prince 54
"I don't quite understand what you are saying." Ling Yi leaned against the door frame with a calm expression.
Wen Yang had already expected Ling Yi to be stubborn.
She curled the corners of her lips and gave her own judgment in a light tone: "Oh? I thought you were at least a little interested in me, so you used Ling Yin's identity to get close to me."
Ling Yi's eyes dimmed slightly, and a dark cloud gradually gathered in them. Suddenly, he chuckled softly and asked slowly, "My sister wants to add someone she just met. As a brother, isn't it normal for her to check in advance? Is it too far-fetched to use this to prove that I'm interested in you?"
After a pause, he continued with a self-deprecating tone, "Instead of trying to figure me out, you should think more about how you can rekindle your relationship with Xiang Chen."
There was a hint of deliberate distance in Ling Yi's voice, as if an invisible high barrier had been erected to isolate his true feelings that might be revealed.
After saying that, he turned around again and prepared to leave Wen Yang's room.
When Wen Yang heard Ling Yi asking her to think more about rekindling her relationship with Xiang Chen, she instantly understood where Ling Yi's awkward feeling just now came from.
"Wait!" Seeing the blurry figure in front of her about to leave, she immediately lifted the quilt on her body and hurriedly ran towards Ling Yi.
However, she still overestimated her ability to move under such vision. After running just two steps, she tripped on the carpet on the ground and fell forward. She was startled and subconsciously closed her eyes.
However, this time he did not suffer the expected pain, but was firmly supported by a pair of hands.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she met Ling Yi's dark eyes.
Just as she expected, those dark eyes were now churning with strong emotions, but she was sitting too far away on the bed just now, so she couldn't see clearly. Now that she was closer, she finally dared to confirm it.
After Ling Yi slowly helped Wen Yang to stand steadily, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of anger in his voice, "Your phone is on the bedside table this time. If you fall again, you won't be able to call for help!"
Hearing Ling Yi's words that were obviously filled with anger, Wen Yang just smiled sweetly, raised his head and said: "Because I know you will catch me."
Ling Yi looked at the smile on Wen Yang's face and sighed helplessly. The emotions hidden in his sigh were like an undercurrent surging beneath the sea.
In order to avoid being confused, he shifted his gaze away from Wen Yang and looked elsewhere, then he slowly released his hand that was holding up Wen Yang's arm.
Then, he took a step back, creating some distance between him and Wen Yang, and said, "You should go back to bed and rest."
Seeing that Ling Yi kept avoiding talking to her, Wen Yang stopped beating around the bush. She took a small step forward and took the initiative to shorten the distance that Ling Yi had just left when he stepped back.
Then she looked straight at Ling Yi and said firmly, "But you are angry. If I don't clarify the misunderstanding, you won't be able to sleep well tonight."
After hearing Wen Yang's words, Ling Yi was stunned, as if someone had seen into the most secret corner of his heart.
Having his secret exposed so suddenly, an uneasy look flashed across his face. He then spoke stiffly, "How could I be angry? Don't overthink it. You've taken your medicine now, so resting well is the most important thing."
There was still a hint of evasion in his words, but compared to before, they were less distant and cold.
Seeing that Ling Yi was still being stubborn at this moment, Wen Yang curled the corners of his lips.
In order to see Ling Yi's expression clearly, she deliberately leaned towards him and said slowly, "Oh? I thought you heard from Ling Yin that my wish was to rekindle our past relationship and you misunderstood something."
Wen Yang deliberately lowered his voice, with a special kind of intimacy.
Her eyes scanned Ling Yi's face with interest. Because she was close enough, even without glasses, she could see a faint blush gradually appearing on Ling Yi's face.
Ling Yi felt increasingly embarrassed by Wen Yang's close gaze and questioning, and subconsciously wanted to step back.
But just as he moved a little, Wen Yang quickly grabbed one of his arms.
"If you don't explain clearly today, you are not allowed to leave here." Wen Yang raised his head slightly, with a hint of stubbornness in his tone.
Seeing Wen Yang's attitude, Ling Yi finally decided to face the problem head-on. He lowered his eyes, looked at Wen Yang's face, and asked in a low voice: "Besides Xiang Chen, who else has a 'previous relationship' with you?"
