Chapter 48: After Class, Come Into My Arms (46)

In Lu Yu’s eyes, Class Twenty-Two was a wonderful place, for in this classroom, his little girl sat obediently by his side.

Yet, there was one creature in this class that he found exceptionally irritating.

Her name was He Rose.

For an entire period, her gaze seemed glued to Asi.

What vexed Lu Yu most was that Asi would occasionally flash He Rose a sweet smile.

He could hardly stand it.

This was his girl.

His.

The young man’s brows were drawn low, and the moment He Rose glanced back again—

A student seated at the back: “!!!”

Fortunately, this was a self-study period; there was no teacher at the podium.

Lu Yu had only meant to shield his girl from that annoying gaze, but to his surprise—

Sitting beside him, Lu Yu wore a faint smile. Yet, no matter how one looked at it, that smile felt unsettling.

“Let go,” she said.

The boy, once shrouded in hostility, suddenly broke into a smile, his features alive with animation.

Lu Yu reached out, wanting to touch Asi’s face.

The girl dodged his hand, her damp eyes glaring at him.

“Do you have any sense of reason?”

She pressed her lips together, still as adorable as ever.

But to others, the scene carried a different flavor.

“I’m sorry,” Lu Yu shamelessly leaned closer, his dark eyes fixed on Asi. “It won’t happen again.”

“You say that, but you’re already thinking of next time! How can you be so bad!”

Asi retied her hair and turned her face away, refusing to look at Lu Yu.

He—he was just too naughty.

She’d been sitting quietly, only for him to suddenly pull her into his arms, and with such strength.

The little white lamb had turned mischievous.

Asi thought.

He was nothing like the well-behaved little white lamb he used to be.

Until the bell rang, Asi didn’t utter a single word to Lu Yu.

Her face remained stern, her dark eyes wary as she glared at him, prepared to toss him to the floor should he dare approach.

Lu Yu, however, was on his best behavior.

When the period ended and he saw Asi truly wanted nothing to do with him, he strode out of the classroom.

Seizing the opportunity, He Rose hurried over, scrutinizing Asi from head to toe.

With lingering concern, she cautioned, “Asi, you must focus on your studies, understand? Don’t stray down the wrong path!”

She still wished Asi would keep her distance from Lu Yu, but recalling the last time she’d tried to persuade her, all she’d received was a merciless accusation.

He Rose wisely held her tongue.
