"Leave me…" Li Liu whispered in a hushed tone, her breath trembling as she tried to pull back.
Lin Fang's arms stayed firm around her waist. His lips curved into that familiar sly smile. "I will—if you clear your schedule for this Saturday."
Li Liu blinked, taken aback. "Saturday? But… your exam is on Sunday."
"Exactly." Lin Fang nodded, his gaze steady on her. "I don't know how the exam will go, or what mood I'll be in afterward. I just want to walk into it in good spirits."
Her lips parted, her chest rising and falling a little faster. She turned her head to look at him, her eyes uncertain. "But this… this would be our first date. I don't want it to be under conditions like this. And besides—" her voice softened, almost a whisper "you said this morning we'd go out after the exam is over."
