Hearing the man's words, Luo Ning'er's heart suddenly shrank, as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible hand. She realized that her unintentional muttering just now might have been heard by Jiang Yufeng who was standing nearby.

At that moment, her cheeks unconsciously turned red. In a panic, she hurriedly looked for a suitable excuse to cover up her gaffe.

"No...nothing, I was just...um, yes, I was talking to myself."

Luo Ning'er's voice trembled slightly and her eyes flickered. She tried to make her tone sound natural, but she could hardly hide her obvious panic.

After saying that, she quickly lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, as if this could hide the waves in her heart.

She didn't dare look directly into Jiang Yufeng's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, for fear that the secrets in her heart would be seen by him.

Jiang Yufeng stood there quietly, his eyes like a deep pool, full of tenderness and depth.

He stared at Luo Ning'er, watching her try to hide her emotions a little awkwardly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a faint smile.

There was a hint of playfulness and indulgence in that smile, as if he was enjoying an interesting performance.

He seemed to really enjoy this subtle and slightly awkward atmosphere between him and Luo Ning'er, which made him feel relaxed and happy.

"Did you have fun in Jinshi?" Jiang Yufeng's voice was low and magnetic, like the sound of a cello in the middle of the night, intoxicating people.

He took a step forward, slightly closing the distance between them.

"Ah?" Luo Ning'er was caught off guard by this sudden question. She was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses and quickly replied, "I'm happy. The scenery there is beautiful and the food is delicious."

"I see." Jiang Yufeng smiled slightly, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

In fact, he had already known from Luo Ning'er's circle of friends that she had spent a happy time in Jinshi.

Jiang Yufeng's incoherent words made Luo Ning'er a little confused. She didn't understand why he said that.

Luo Ning'er stared at Jiang Yufeng blankly, trying to understand what he meant.

Seeing Luo Ning'er's cute appearance, Jiang Yufeng's smile deepened.

At this moment, Jiang Yufeng stretched out his right hand without warning and gently stroked the top of her head.

This action was so natural and intimate. For Luo Ning'er, this sudden contact was like an electric shock, which made her stunned for a moment, her eyes wide open, and her face full of astonishment and confusion.

Jiang Yufeng's actions made Luo Ning'er extremely nervous. She couldn't help but take a step back, trying to keep a certain distance from him.

At this moment, her heart was beating like a drum, her cheeks were faintly flushed, and her heart was filled with confusion and embarrassment.

She felt her body go rigid, not knowing how to respond to the situation.

"You...I...I'd better go to the bathroom first." Luo Ning'er stuttered, her voice trembling slightly.

She felt her face was so hot that she could even fry an egg.

So, she hurriedly found an excuse, squatted slightly, quickly walked around Jiang Yufeng, and then rushed into the bathroom as if escaping.

The moment she closed the bathroom door, Luo Ning'er seemed to have isolated herself from the noise and chaos of the outside world.

Luo Ning'er leaned against the cold and solid wall, gasping for breath, her chest heaving violently, as if she had just experienced a thrilling storm.

It took a while for Luo Ning'er to slowly calm her rapid breathing and gradually stabilize her emotions.

After finishing the major event in her life, Luo Ning'er walked to the sink and turned on the faucet. The cool water washed over her hands, and seemed to be trying to wash away the troubles in her heart.

She scooped up a handful of water and gently patted her cheeks. The cool feeling refreshed her.

Looking at her face in the mirror gradually returning to normal, and the eyes that once flashed with panic and anxiety gradually regaining their former calmness and determination, Luo Ning'er finally mustered up the courage and walked out of the bathroom.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she saw a familiar figure standing quietly outside the door, with no intention of leaving.

That was Jiang Yufeng. He still maintained his calm demeanor, but his eyes revealed an elusive depth.

"You... why are you still here?" Seeing Jiang Yufeng still waiting outside the door, Luo Ning'er couldn't help feeling a little surprised and flustered. She didn't expect that he would be so persistent in waiting for her to appear.

"Of course there are still questions that have not been answered." Jiang Yufeng's voice was calm and firm, his eyes fixed on Luo Ning'er's, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

"What question?" Luo Ning'er's heart skipped a beat. She tried to remain calm, but a hint of doubt involuntarily appeared on her face.

"Why didn't you reply to my message that night?" Jiang Yufeng's words were like a key, gently opening the tightly closed door in Luo Ning'er's heart.

"Ah? That night..." Luo Ning'er's heart suddenly became panicked, and her brain began to work rapidly, looking for the most appropriate excuse.

Her fingers tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, trying to ease the tension in her heart.

"I was so tired that night that I fell asleep and forgot about it the next day."

Luo Ning'er answered in a casual manner, with a slightly stiff smile on her lips and her eyes flickering, trying to hide her inner panic, hoping to hide it from Jiang Yufeng's insightful eyes.

However, despite her efforts to disguise it, the slight tremor still revealed the unnaturalness in her heart.

Jiang Yufeng naturally heard the flaw in her words, but he didn't point it out. He just nodded lightly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, "If that's the case, then forget it."

Hearing his words, Luo Ning'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge rock had fallen from her heart.

However, when she looked at Jiang Yufeng again, she found that his gaze was still on her. There seemed to be endless meaning hidden in his eyes, and there was an indescribable emotion.

This made Luo Ning'er feel a little flustered and she quickly turned her head away.

In order to break this awkward situation, Luo Ning'er quickly changed the subject and said, "Um...my mother is still waiting for me. Let's talk next time."

After saying that, Luo Ning'er didn't even look at Jiang Yufeng's reaction. She hurriedly fled the scene that made her feel uneasy and returned to Song Yun's side.
