"What are you looking at!"
Shen Yuan gazed at her adorable expression, the corners of his mouth turning up uncontrollably. "Looking at how cute you are."
"Eww—"
Li Zhi feigned disgust and took a small step back, but Shen Yuan just pulled her back into his arms.
"Idiot, aren't you afraid my dad will find out?"
"I am."
Shen Yuan answered honestly, "But I still want to hold you."
Li Zhi rolled her eyes at Shen Yuan, but snuggled deeper into his embrace anyway.
'It's not like we'll get caught in the elevator, so what's there to be afraid of?'
DING—
They arrived at 19A. The elevator doors slid open, revealing the familiar hallway.
The motion-sensor lights flickered on, casting a soft, even glow down both ends of the corridor.
The two of them stepped out of the elevator and, at almost the exact same second, naturally pulled apart.
Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan, and Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi. A knowing smile appeared on both their faces.
It was as if they were partners in crime.
