"Don't stare at me like that. It's rude!"
"…I'm sorry."
Shen Tingyu's eyelashes fluttered as he quickly lowered his gaze.
He looked abashed.
Cui Lingyao felt a headache coming on, but she was also a little curious.
She set down her teacup, propped her chin on her hand, and asked the man across from her, "Are you genuinely embarrassed, or are you just pretending to be?"
Her words were so direct, it was hardly a question one would expect from a young lady.
Shen Tingyu was at a loss for words. He lifted his downcast eyes and simply looked at her, saying nothing.
His gaze was clear and bright, and paired with his handsome features, it was truly…
Cui Lingyao's heart began to pound. She averted her eyes, thinking she should change the subject, but then she heard him say, "I rarely spend time with young ladies… so yes, I am a bit embarrassed."
"…" Cui Lingyao stared at him, speechless.
"You don't believe me?"
