Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Do You Believe I Will Kiss You?

Yun Shifei thought the big boss was just a bit too terrifying! He’s actually saying these things to a child.

Her worldview had taken quite a hit.

Cheng Lie noticed her shocked expression and couldn’t help but ask, "Was that something I shouldn’t have said?"

He was merely trying to test how much of him she could truly accept.

Yun Shifei snapped back to reality: "...Not exactly wrong, but maybe we should phrase these things more tactfully in the future."

How to put it—although it’s the truth, saying something so blunt to a child felt a tad too cruel.

After all, kids spend their time immersed in fairy tales. To impose an adult’s reality on them so early seemed less than ideal.

Cheng Lie noticed Yun Shifei’s conflicted expression, her little face scrunched up in frustration; she looked utterly pitiful. He couldn’t help but find it amusing. Her reaction at this moment mirrored Fang Kaiyi’s expression earlier when he heard those same words from him.

Unable to resist, he reached out to ruffle her hair, his voice low and soft: "Sorry, I’ll try to remind you differently next time."

That simple act of ruffling her hair left Yun Shifei completely dazed.

Could he... maybe stop doing all these gestures of intimacy?

Thinking back to the interrupted conversation from earlier, though, she found that the courage she had moments ago was now completely gone. She couldn’t summon the nerve to ask anymore.

The weather was growing colder, turning into winter seemingly overnight.

Winter came early to Beijing, and its chill was entirely different from South City.

South City’s winters were wet and cold, and it would occasionally rain.

But Beijing was different. It was dry, biting cold. When the wind brushed against your face, it felt like a slap across the cheek.

Yun Shifei felt that no matter how much skincare she applied to her face, it still felt dry and uncomfortable.

In hindsight, she found herself missing South City’s winters a bit.

Cold-sensitive as she was, she had bought numerous thick clothes and bundled herself up tight when attending class.
