124: Chapter 124 Who's really feeling guilty? Turns out, both of them are feeling guilty!

"Shen Qingxue lifted her chin slightly to glance at Lu Li, and as a result, she happened to meet his gaze."

"To cover up her trace of guilt, Shen Qingxue put her hands on her hips, turned her head to the side, and her tone suddenly became righteous."

""What are you looking at?""

"Lu Li was almost amused to the point of anger. Why hadn't he noticed it before? It turned out that Shen Qingxue's inner personality was a Demon Pill."

"And instead, had he become the spirit bead?"

"Lu Li took a deep breath and silently recited three hundred repetitions of Amitabha, Infinite Celestial Venerable, and three hundred nursery rhymes."

"When he calmed down and refocused his attention on his phone, the comments in the comment section made his face darken again."

"[Holy shit! The goddess posted a photo of Lu Li?! Is this an official announcement?!]"

"[Wrong! Didn't you see Lu Li acting like an ox and a horse?]"

"[? Lu Li is being this well-behaved? Was he caught committing murder by the goddess?]"

"[I don't care, I don't care, family members, who gets this? Shen Qingxue secretly taking a picture of Lu Li washing dishes, what kind of fairy scene is this!]"

"[A bit curious... Have these two people moved in together?!]"

"[I said long ago that they definitely have a thing going on, but you guys didn't believe it back then!]"

"[No need to analyze anymore, I've already moved the Civil Affairs Bureau here, please let them get married on the spot!]"

"The more Lu Li read, the more outrageous it got."

"With these netizens' guessing ability, honestly speaking, even if the color of his boxers was dug up, he would dare to believe it."

""Shen Qingxue.""

"Lu Li raised his head, trying to keep his tone steady, but his gaze was already starting to look a bit off."

""What?""

"Shen Qingxue leaned against the sofa, holding that teddy bear in her arms with a calm expression."

"As long as Lu Li dared to approach, she would place the bear on Lu Li's body. That way, Lu Li would definitely have to put the bear down first, which was equivalent to being restrained, and then she could seize the opportunity to escape."

"Don't ask where she learned this tactic; if you ask, it's General Yu Beichen's famous traffic light tactic."

""Give me your phone.""

"The next second, Lu Li reached out his hand with a tone that allowed no room for negotiation."

"Shen Qingxue glanced at him, then hid the phone behind her back."

""Not giving it.""

""What did you say?""

""I said, not giving it.""

"Shen Qingxue repeated it, her voice not loud, but her tone was extremely certain, even carrying a hint of provocation."

"Lu Li took a deep breath and slowly let it out again."

""Did you get my consent when you posted my photo? Do you know that this is an infringement on my portrait rights?""

""Then call the police.""

"Shen Qingxue replied with a deadpan expression."

"Lu Li was choked into speechlessness, opened his mouth, and closed it again."

"Good grief, is this still that aloof and cold Shen Qingxue? Why does it feel like she's been replaced by a different person?"

""I'll ask you one more time, are you giving it or not?""

""Not giving it.""

"Shen Qingxue blocked herself in front with the teddy bear, put her hands behind her back, gripped the phone tightly, and wore an expression of 'what can you do to me'."

""Fine, fine, fine, you're playing like this, right? Then I'm really going to hug you tightly, but you need to know, this tight hug is not that kind of police report.""

"Lu Li stared at her for two seconds, and then suddenly moved."

"He leaned down abruptly and reached out to grab the phone Shen Qingxue was hiding behind her back."

"Shen Qingxue reacted very quickly, immediately preparing to use the bear to block a wave of attacks first. What a pity, imagination was wonderful, but reality was cruel."

"Compared to Lu Li's weight, the weight of that bear was just a lump."

"The next second, Shen Qingxue was trapped in the corner of the sofa by Lu Li, and she could only shrink her entire body inward, pressing the phone behind her waist."

""What are you snatching for!""

""If you delete the photo, I won't snatch it!""

""I just won't delete it!""

""You...""

"Lu Li propped one hand on the sofa backrest, while his other hand reached around behind Shen Qingxue to grab the phone, his body pressing almost close against her."

"Shen Qingxue shrank back desperately (╥﹏╥), but the sofa corner had only that little bit of space. She had nowhere left to retreat, and her whole body was half-enclosed in Lu Li's arms."

"The distance between the two of them was excessively close."

"Lu Li could smell the faint fragrance on her body."

"Shen Qingxue could also feel the warmth transmitted when his arm brushed against the side of her waist. Through the thin clothing, it scorched her heart into a sudden contraction."

""You... move aside.""

"Shen Qingxue's voice suddenly softened, carrying an imperceptible panic."

""Give me the phone and I'll move aside.""

"Lu Li didn't notice her abnormality and was still focused on reaching for the phone behind her."

"His fingers had already touched the phone case, but Shen Qingxue was pressing down on it stubbornly. He tried several times but couldn't pull it out."

""Don't move...""

"Lu Li simply changed his posture, propping his other hand over as well, enveloping Shen Qingxue entirely beneath him."

"From the side, this posture looked like he was enclosing her entirely in his arms, with only the distance of a fist separating the two of them."

"Shen Qingxue's brain went completely blank."

"She stiffened in place, not daring to move an inch, even forgetting to breathe."

"Lu Li's face was right in front of her at a distance of less than ten centimeters."

"She could clearly see the curve of his eyelashes, and even feel the warm breath brushing against her forehead when he breathed."

"The sound of heartbeats roared in her ears, unable to tell whether it was hers or his."

""Got it!""

"Lu Li finally pulled the phone out from behind her waist, straightened up triumphantly, and took two steps back."

"Then he looked down and froze."

"The screen showed the album page, and the latest photo was indeed the one of him washing dishes."

"But as luck would have it, the photos flipped to the next few..."

"Lu Li's fingers paused for a moment."

"Nani? ━Σ(ﾟДﾟ|||)━"

"Why are these photos of him sleeping???"

"It was a shot of his profile, the lighting was very dim, and he had his eyes closed, his lips slightly pursed, sleeping very soundly."

"Lu Li raised his head and looked at Shen Qingxue."

"Shen Qingxue was still curled up in the corner of the sofa, her face as red as a cooked shrimp, spreading all the way from the roots of her ears down to her neck."

"A few strands of her hair had been ruffled during the 'struggle' just now, hanging in front of her forehead, and her whole person looked completely different from usual."

""This one... when was it taken?""

"Lu Li shook the phone, his voice a bit dry."

"Shen Qingxue turned her head away, refusing to look at him, her voice muffled."

""Don't remember.""

"Lu Li stared at her for two seconds, then lowered his head to look at that photo again."

"The shooting angle of this photo... was taken from top to bottom, which meant that when it was taken, Shen Qingxue was standing beside his bed."

"When he was asleep, she stood beside his bed and took a photo of him."

"Looking at the time..."

"Wasn't it the time she slept on the sofa that night?!"

"Lu Li's Adam's apple bobbed up and down."

"He suddenly started to feel a bit guilty. No way, no way, Shen Qingxue wouldn't know that he pinched her face that night, would she?"

""Uh... well...""

"Lu Li's speech had become a bit dry."

""Hand it over.""

"Shen Qingxue seized the opportunity to snatch back the phone and quickly hid it away."

"However, she was also feeling a bit guilty in her heart at this moment."

"That night she had originally returned to her room, but afterwards she couldn't sleep a bit, and then she thought about how considerately Lu Li had covered her with a blanket..."

"Then she might as well imitate it."

"What if Lu Li also didn't cover himself properly with the blanket and caught a cold?"

"So Shen Qingxue persuaded herself like that."

"Coincidentally, Lu Li's bedroom door wasn't locked; it was just pulled shut simply, the kind that could be opened with a gust of wind."

"And then afterwards..."

"The blanket wasn't covered, but there ended up being such a photo in her phone."

""Let this be an exception.""

"Shen Qingxue said, feigning composure."

"Thinking she was talking about the matter of him pinching her face that night, Lu Li hurriedly nodded like a chick pecking at rice."

""Fine, fine, fine, next time I will definitely not pinch your face.""
