Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online-Chapter 11 Where is the need for such difficulty? _1

"You still haven’t answered my question, don’t make me ask for the third time."

His voice wasn’t actually harsh, but the tone made every word seem like a footstep on your heart, making it impossible not to be nervous and causing one’s brain to heat up uncontrollably.

Ye Chenxing was so nervous that her whole body tensed up.

Then, Gu Shaocheng’s chuckling voice came into her ear, teasing her in ways she didn’t understand: "This isn’t a hard question to verbalize, Chenxing, you’re just being shy. When we see or hear something that makes us shy, our eyes and ears immediately pass the message to the cerebral cortex, which in contact to the relevant part of the body, stimulates the adrenal glands. Once they are stimulated, they immediately respond by secreting adrenaline. Adrenaline has a characteristic, when released in small amounts, it can expand blood vessels, especially the small subcutaneous vessels in the face. However, when released in large amounts, it constricts blood vessels instead, and as a result, you look like a boiled crab. Do you understand now?"

He spoke like a methodical biology teacher lecturing students, but his enchanting voice only succeeded in making her already simmering brain boil over.

He was being mean, yet Chenxing didn’t dare to protest.

Then, the enigmatic Gu Shaocheng, with a curl of his lips, continued to question her: "Now change the question, I would like to know what makes you shy. Chenxing, tell me."

A feeling of shame uncontrollably spread from her heart to her four limbs. Ye Chenxing could not relax, no matter how hard she tried, this carefree man holding her could easily make her feel utterly humiliated.

Each of his questions was so tricky. You thought you had dodged a bullet, but what awaited you was an even harder ordeal.

What should she do?

Little did she know, each of her subtle expressions and inner changes could be easily detected by Gu Shaocheng, who was merely toying with her out of boredom at the moment.

Why did she need to feel so troubled? However, under his gaze, she indeed suffered quite a bit, even Gu Shaocheng himself was amazed at his peculiar trickery.

A trace of amusement lingered on his lips as he had the butler serve a bowl of warm bird’s nest porridge and then returned to his seat.

"Eat something to warm your stomach instead of just sitting there."

"I’m not hungry."

"I don’t like to see food waste. If you don’t eat it, it will be thrown away once it gets cold."

Ye Chenxing didn’t respond. Would this nice bird’s nest porridge really be thrown away? Okay, she didn’t like to waste food either.

Because at her aunt’s house, she could only wait until her aunt’s family had finished eating before she could have their leftovers. Many times she couldn’t get enough to eat, which was why she was so sallow and thin, not a beauty. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Gu Shaocheng was watching her out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing her enjoy the food so much, she even occasionally stealthily wiped the corner of her mouth with her finger.

Such a small movement looked adorable, it pleased him: "There are napkins on the table if you need them. Just help yourself."

Seeing that Gu Shaocheng had noticed her awkward act, Ye Chenxing hastily put down her hand.

Gu Shaocheng laughed lightly, just about to say something when the butler came in from outside to report: "Sir, Miss Yuanyuan is asking to see you, she says it’s urgent and insists on seeing you."

Gu Shaocheng’s smile froze at the edge of his lips, and after a moment, he frowned slightly and said, a touch of annoyance in his voice: "Let her in."
