Chapter 489 - I Don’t Want You to Feel Slighted (1/2)

Jinde smiled even brighter when he saw Leng Jin Yu give pause. This was probably the moment when he should implement his next trick.

”Jin Yu.”

”Mn?” Leng Jin Yu looked up and found himself faced by a brilliant smile.

”Would you mind if I tried to get rid of that petal, after all?”

”Of course not.” Leng Jin Yu added some details to the pair of lips he had painted and tried to ignore the way Jinde looked at him.

Jinde didn't mind. He gently shook his head, making the petal fall down onto the daybed. Some strands of his hair slipped across his shoulder and gathered in a golden lake next to his body.

”Aiya. It tickles.” Jinde shook his head again.

The green sleeve slipped down his arm and exposed his skin down until his elbow.

”Oops.” Jinde's golden eyebrows raised. ”Now that's unfortunate. Did you paint that part already?”

Leng Jin Yu's lips twitched. Did Jinde honestly think he wouldn't be able to tell that this had been intentional? He wasn't that gullible. ”No, I didn't.”

”Ah. Well … Would you mind if we left it like that? I'm afraid if I tried to adjust it now, it would make matters even worse.”

Leng Jin Yu slowly took a deep breath and expelled it again. ”You're certainly right. Just leave it at that.”

Jinde's eyebrows lifted a little higher. He hadn't expected this. Shouldn't Leng Jin Yu feel troubled by this? Don't tell him this man was even more resilient than he had thought? Did he actually have to go further?

Leng Jin Yu, in fact, wasn't as unbothered as he seemed. Looking at that slender arm made his heart palpitate and his throat felt dry. But what was he supposed to do? Jinde obviously didn't intend to stop with this game and he only had himself to blame for that. After all, Jinde had already been very open about his feelings and since he had given in yesterday evening when Jinde asked him to lie down and then tried to wake him up quite intimately this morning it was understandable that Jinde was vexed now. Why shouldn't he vent a bit?

If that was the case, they should have a talk about this though. He definitely couldn't let it go on like this.

”Jinde.”

”Mn?” Jinde gently rubbed his feet against each other. Could it be that his attempt was already making an impact?

”I was wondering … You've been in the mortal realm for quite some time if I understood correctly.”

”Oh … It hasn't been that long.”

”Ah. Well, you haven't been in contact with many humans in that time anyway. Isn't that right?”
