Stealing Your Heart

Su Zhan was staring anxiously at his phone when Shen Peichuan suddenly came close to him. Startled, Su Zhan looked up and leaned back instinctively. The small bench shook unsteadily, tipping Su Zhan onto the floor.

A second passed and Su Zhan asked with wide eyes, “What are you up to, Shen Peichuan?”

Shen Peichuan towered over him, glaring down at Su Zhan. “What did you do wrong this time? What else could have scared you into such a state?”

“You’re the one who did something wrong!” Su Zhan shot him a glare in return as he climbed to his feet, dusted himself off, and picked up the bench. However, he did not sit down on it again. The bench was short, so a tall person like Su Zhan did not find it comfortable as he would need to bend his legs at an odd angle to sit steadily.

Sang Yu poured him a glass of water. “Have a drink and calm down.”

Su Zhan reached out to take the glass but did not drink it. “If Shen Peichuan teased you, would you be angry? Would you ignore him?” he asked her.

Sang Yu blinked. “Is he the type of person to tease people?”

Su Zhan had no response.

She’s right. A block of wood like Shen Peichuan has no sense of humor.

“Did you poke fun at your girlfriend so that she’s ignoring you now?” Sang Yu made a guess of Su Zhan’s troubled expression.

Su Zhan chuckled. “We get on great. She must be too busy to reply.”

He did not want to expose to others the balance of power in his relationship.

“You look really anxious,” Sang Yu pointed out. If he weren’t so engrossed in checking his phone, Shen Peichuan wouldn’t have been able to scare him so easily.

“Anxious? Do I seem anxious?” Su Zhan asked, immediately hanging a mask of nonchalance over his true feelings.

He looks so funny when he’s trying to act casually. How cute.

Sang Yu fought to keep herself from smiling as she shook her head. “Not anxious; more like restless.”

Restless because his girlfriend isn’t replying to him.

Su Zhan smiled briefly. I guess I can’t hide my true feelings completely. He pointed at Shen Peichuan and Sang Yu. “Today, the two of you shall entertain me. Let me just step out to make a call first.”
