"You still haven’t answered my question, don’t make ask for the third ti."
His voice wasn’t actually harsh, but the tone made every word seem like a footstep on your heart, making it impossible not to be nervous and causing one’s brain to heat up uncontrollably.
Ye Chenxing was so nervous that her whole body tensed up.
Then, Gu Shaocheng’s chuckling voice ca into her ear, teasing her in ways she didn’t understand: "This isn’t a hard question to verbalize, Chenxing, you’re just being shy. When we see or hear sothing that makes us shy, our eyes and ears imdiately pass the ssage to the cerebral cortex, which in contact to the relevant part of the body, stimulates the adrenal glands. Once they are stimulated, they imdiately respond by secreting adrenaline. Adrenaline has a characteristic, when released in small amounts, it can expand blood vessels, especially the small subcutaneous vessels in the face. However, when released in large amounts, it constricts blood vessels instead, and as a result, you look like a boiled crab. Do you understand now?"
He spoke like a thodical biology teacher lecturing students, but his enchanting voice only succeeded in making her already simring brain boil over.
He was being an, yet Chenxing didn’t dare to protest.
Then, the enigmatic Gu Shaocheng, with a curl of his lips, continued to question her: "Now change the question, I would like to know what makes you shy. Chenxing, tell ."
A feeling of sha uncontrollably spread from her heart to her four limbs. Ye Chenxing could not relax, no matter how hard she tried, this carefree man holding her could easily make her feel utterly humiliated.
Each of his questions was so tricky. You thought you had dodged a bullet, but what awaited you was an even harder ordeal.
What should she do?
Little did she know, each of her subtle expressions and inner changes could be easily detected by Gu Shaocheng, who was rely toying with her out of boredom at the mont.
Why did she need to feel so troubled? However, under his gaze, she indeed suffered quite a bit, even Gu Shaocheng himself was amazed at his peculiar trickery.
A trace of amusent lingered on his lips as he had the butler serve a bowl of warm bird’s nest porridge and then returned to his seat.
"Eat sothing to warm your stomach instead of just sitting there."
"I’m not hungry."
"I don’t like to see food waste. If you don’t eat it, it will be thrown away once it gets cold."
Ye Chenxing didn’t respond. Would this nice bird’s nest porridge really be thrown away? Okay, she didn’t like to waste food either.
Because at her aunt’s house, she could only wait until her aunt’s family had finished eating before she could have their leftovers. Many tis she couldn’t get enough to eat, which was why she was so sallow and thin, not a beauty.
Gu Shaocheng was watching her out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing her enjoy the food so much, she even occasionally stealthily wiped the corner of her mouth with her finger.
Such a small movent looked adorable, it pleased him: "There are napkins on the table if you need them. Just help yourself."
Seeing that Gu Shaocheng had noticed her awkward act, Ye Chenxing hastily put down her hand.
Gu Shaocheng laughed lightly, just about to say sothing when the butler ca in from outside to report: "Sir, Miss Yuanyuan is asking to see you, she says it’s urgent and insists on seeing you."
Gu Shaocheng’s smile froze at the edge of his lips, and after a mont, he frowned slightly and said, a touch of annoyance in his voice: "Let her in."
