Ji Weitian clung to him tightly as if she was afraid he'd push her away, nestling into his embrace and rubbing her head against his chest as she quietly muttered.
"Qin Nanyu, if you're jealous, just tell me, and I'll soothe you."
"..."
"Don't get inexplicably upset. I've never been in a relationship before. If you get angry for no reason, I'll think you don't like me anymore, and that would make me really sad." Ji Weitian sniffled, lifting her head to look at him with a bit of a pitiful expression in her small eyes, like a fluffy little animal seeking its owner's approval.
She was acting coquettish.
And it was the unfairly cute kind of coquettish.
If it hadn't been for the lab and other people around, Qin Nanyu would certainly have shown her the serious consequences of her making him defenseless with such coquettish behavior.
Yet, even with people around, Qin Nanyu didn't want to push her away.
