“Since you don’t agree, I’ll have to use force.” He reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Zhou Xu Fang reflexively raised her hand.

“Cough, cough, cough…” His chin rested on her shoulder, and all his coughing sounded in her ear. “I’m not in good health, go easy on me.”

Her hand stiffened in midair and didn’t come down.

He looked pitiable, like the stray gray cat abandoned outside her building; it softened her heart. She barely dared to use any strength, just poking him with one finger. “Let go.”

She pushed very, very lightly.

Jiang Zhi didn’t let go. He held her waist tightly and, knowing her strength, used all his might to keep her in his embrace. “Don’t move, just for a while.”

It felt a bit warm.

Zhou Xu Fang’s body temperature was low; she hadn’t felt so hot and flustered in years; her skin was heating up. She was very uncomfortable and pushed Jiang Zhi away forcefully with two fingers.

She really only used twenty percent of her strength.

Jiang Zhi staggered backward, nearly bumping into the coffee table. His chest tightened, followed by a fit of coughing. “Cough, cough, cough…” He coughed so hard his eyes turned a bit red. He glared at her with his watery eyes. “You didn’t go easy!”

He was extremely annoyed, blood rushing to his face, making it blush red. His moist eyes resembled those of a fierce but harmless cub, evoking pity from anyone who saw him.

Like a cat.

Zhou Xu Fang thought Jiang Zhi was just like a high-bred cat, elegant and lazy when calm, so beautiful one would want to give him all the cat food in the world. But once angry, he became dangerous, using hidden claws to slowly and unexpectedly scratch people, hitting their vulnerable spots.

Zhou Xu Fang averted her eyes and didn’t look at him. “I was already being gentle.”

If she had used her full strength, he would be broken by now.

Jiang Zhi finally calmed down a bit, wheezing with his hand on his chest, frowning. “When can you wash that hair dye out?”

“I’ll wash it out tonight when I get back.” She used a temporary dye that would wash out after two washes.

Jiang Zhi glanced thoughtfully at her arm.

Compared to undressing her to check for wounds, holding her was easier. He decided to hold her again tomorrow. The hug earlier had been too short; he didn’t smell the scent of milk, only the harsh smell of hair dye.

Should he hug her again?

His gaze turned a bit scorching.

Zhou Xu Fang took a large step back, saw his face turn cold instantly, and feared he’d get angry. She moved forward a little bit. “Anything else?”

She was acting as if to guard against a thief!

Jiang Zhi ground his teeth. His naturally charming peach blossom eyes now radiated fierceness, like a beast about to prey.

He didn’t speak, so Zhou Xu Fang waited a while before saying, “I’m leaving, then.”

After speaking, she tucked herself into her coat, stepping lightly as she turned. @@novelbin@@

“Zhou Xu Fang.”

She turned back.

Her misty blue short hair was a bit fluffy, and under her bangs, her eyes were particularly dark, like the clearest water in a deep winter well.

Zhou Xu Fang’s eyes were just the way he liked them the most, he didn’t even know why he stopped her, so he casually asked, “Where did you get your hair done?”

“Want to dye yours too?” Zhou Xu Fang gave him the exact address. “At No. 43 Changdu Road, at Fang Lixiang’s cousin’s place.” She thought for a moment. “The salon is called Fairy Descending.”

Jiang Zhi: “…”

“It would look even better on you,” she said very sincerely before leaving.

Jiang Zhi sprawled onto the sofa, massaging his temples. This girl seemed to genuinely think he was good-looking, and didn’t show any yearning for his beauty. The way she looked at him was the same as she looked at that multi-million-yuan vase in the prop room.

Bang—

He kicked the trash can over. He must have been crazy, actually considering dyeing his hair. The can of milk she gave him was still hidden under the sofa pillow, pressing against his neck uncomfortably. He fished it out and played with it in his hand, touching the teeth marks on the can. What was the name of that shop again…

Fairy Descending.
