13. Chapter 13: Sorrowful Eyes 4

I didn't expect Shangguan Yun to grab me and pull me into his embrace. Then he whispered in my ear: "Don't move, just let me hold you like this, okay?" Hearing Shangguan Yun's voice made me feel somewhat helpless, and since I had softened my heart.

Leaning in his embrace felt very comfortable; perhaps all handsome guys' embraces are like this.

Leaning in his embrace, I could faintly smell the scent of his bath, a light tobacco aroma.

If he weren't Shangguan Yun, I think I would probably be his girlfriend.

Just now when I stood up, I felt a hint of sadness flicker in his gaze. I always feel he has a side that makes one's heart ache.

I sense that his usual domineering and arrogant demeanor, his usual unrestrained and carefree, devil-may-care attitude, is hiding another side of him.

Shangguan Yun gives me a somewhat mysterious feeling. I've heard he comes from a good family and is handsome, so what could possibly cause him to show that hint of sadness just now?

Just then, I pushed Shangguan Yun away and said: "This is the last time; I hope next time we meet you won't do these things again, I don't want to be misunderstood by others."

"Since you don't accept me, can we at least be friends first?" Shangguan Yun looked at me with a pleading, childlike gaze. I felt somewhat helpless, unlike his usual domineering self. I nodded.

"It's normal for friends to go out for a meal together; I hope you won't refuse." As he said that, Shangguan Yun's mouth curled into a strange smile. I realized I had been tricked. He had deliberately put on that earlier expression to lure me into his trap.

I was angry at myself for being so foolish, but thinking about it, going up against someone like him, I would definitely lose, which gave me a little consolation.

But words spoken are like spilled water; they can't be taken back.

"But friends should also respect each other, shouldn't they? When I don't want to go out for a meal, you shouldn't force me, right?" I finally said something that satisfied me.

"Since you don't dislike me, why do you dislike having a meal with me?" Shangguan Yun fired back a question, leaving me speechless.

He is simply too strong; I can't compete with him. No wonder everyone says he's highly intelligent.

It seems arguing with him is futile; let's talk about future matters later.
