Chapter 125 - Don't Know You're Playing with Fire
Elina's fierce expression from a moment ago didn't escape Loong Xiaoyi's notice. Although it was a fleeting moment, Loong Xiaoyi was certain he had seen it correctly.
And what about that woman? Her expression seemed genuinely uncomfortable.
Loong Xiaoyi furrowed his brow, a reaction that occurred whenever he encountered something he couldn't decipher.
Just as he was about to open the door to investigate, his cell phone unexpectedly rang.
Loong Xiaoyi was surprised to see that it was Ann Yichen calling, but he quickly put on a smile.
“How unusual! You decided to give me a call. Are you missing me, my dear?” His initial words were the kind that could make someone blush and quicken their heartbeat.
Fortunately, Ann Yichen was older than him and had dealt with various personalities before.
“Indeed, indeed. My dear is yearning for me.”
He chuckled and agreed but then got to the main point, “Young man, do you know how to cook?”
Upon hearing Ann Yichen address him in that manner, Loong Xiaoyi couldn't help but feel annoyed. “Who are you calling a young man?”
Oh my! The little tiger was offended!
Ann Yichen still found Loong Xiaoyi's reactions amusing, and a grin spread across his face, as if he feared that Loong Xiaoyi wouldn't be flustered.
“Alright, Student Long, are you up for it now?” He laughed again, “Do you know how to cook? I'm famished, and I could use a meal!”
His voice sounded somewhat weak, as though he might hang up any moment.
“Who the heck is Student Long?” The man's voice grew assertive and domineering.
Ann Yichen's mouth twitched. He's really getting annoyed! This young one is quite a handful!
“Well, what would you like me to call you then? Go on, I'm listening.” He activated the speakerphone, leaned back, and resumed grading papers.
Ann Yichen understood that dealing with a rebellious young man like Loong Xiaoyi required a more flexible approach. He had to go along with it, so he decided to compromise.
Loong Xiaoyi acted as if he hadn't considered what Ann Yichen should call him.
“If I'm your boyfriend, shouldn't you call me by my name?”
“Haha!” “Boyfriend?”
Ann Yichen burst into laughter but then scratched his head. That's right! This young one is my boyfriend! I've been treating him like a student all along.
“Let's see if you dare laugh again.” His eyes narrowed, giving him an intimidating look. He appeared genuinely fierce.
“Alright, alright. Your name it is!” “How about Little Yiyi?” He couldn't help but tease, with a mischievous expression.
“Do you want to get on my bad side!?” His eyes narrowed even further.
“What's wrong? I find it endearing! Very cute!” He maintained a playful expression.
“Fine, I'll make you regret it when we get to your place.”
When he mentioned “regret,” he emphasized the word, and it wasn't meant to be taken literally.
Just then, a female staff member passed by, blushed, and hurriedly walked away in embarrassment.
For the first time in his life, Loong Xiaoyi felt embarrassed.
“Oh my!” He was too loud! Does he even understand the concept of same-sex relationships? “And regret me.”
Ann Yichen continued to tease Loong Xiaoyi over the phone, a playful look on his face. It was unclear if he was afraid of provoking Loong Xiaoyi.
Loong Xiaoyi suddenly smiled. “What? Haven't you seen a pig run before just because you've never eaten pork?”
They were truly underestimated if they thought they could manipulate them just because they were young!
“Boys my age can be quite assertive. Be careful with your words, or you might regret it.”
He seemed to be warning Ann Yichen not to push him too far, as he would be held responsible for the consequences.
“Do you think you can handle me?” He still chuckled, seemingly unaware that he was playing with fire.
Perhaps because he felt older and safer than Loong Xiaoyi, he remained unafraid.
