Chapter 918: Chapter 918: [Extra] Are You Afraid of Me?
“Ambitious.”
Sheng Ning’an originally thought about bringing this girl home more often, to see if she and her Young Uncle might spark some chemistry.
But now it seems like there’s no chance at all.
This girl usually loves looking at faces, right? Her Young Uncle isn’t bad-looking, so why doesn’t this girl feel any spark?
If she were a bit more proactive, her success rate would be at least fifty percent higher than others.
After all, her Young Uncle is either in the laboratory or at home, and the number of girls he meets daily is limited. Being close to home is an advantage, and with her help, it’s far more likely she’d secure him over others.
Yet, every time this girl sees him, she acts like a mouse meeting a cat.
She can admire him all she wants, but if she wants to make a further move, she’d shake her head more vigorously than a rattle drum.
Tang Dou is also quite familiar with the Sheng Family, having visited often, so there’s no problem of feeling uncomfortable at someone else’s house.
After chatting with the elderly lady for a while, the elderly lady got up to check on the dinner dishes in the kitchen. Tang Dou and Sheng Ning’an snuggled on the sofa in the living room watching TV.
Inevitably, they talked about the pajamas from last time.
Tang Dou pressed for details on its effectiveness.
Sheng Ning’an lightly coughed, “Tried it, pretty effective.” As for how effective it was, she’d rather not elaborate.
Tang Dou chuckled wickedly, “Looks like your God Xu left you very satisfied.”
Their conversation quickly jumped to adult topics.
Chatting away, it was soon almost time for dinner.
Tang Dou stood up, “I need to use the bathroom.”
There’s a guest bathroom on the first floor.
Tang Dou exited the bathroom and nearly bumped into a person.
“Are you okay?” A cool voice sounded above her head.
Tang Dou hurriedly looked up and saw Sheng Yeli’s iconic cold face. Instinctively, she jolted and shook her head vigorously.
“Are you afraid of me?” Sheng Yeli glanced at her and asked calmly.
Sheng Yeli wasn’t unfamiliar with his niece’s sole best friend, yet each time this girl saw him, she acted like she wanted to avoid him as much as possible, leaving him puzzled.
Though his voice was calm, it was impossible to ignore.
Tang Dou instinctively shook her head, then realizing it might be unconvincing, quickly added, “Not very afraid, just a little bit.”
Afraid he wouldn’t believe her, she intentionally stretched out her pinky, indicating the size of a fingernail.
But once she did it, she regretted it.
Would he think she’s immature?
“Why are you afraid of me?” Sheng Yeli’s voice arose again.
“Huh?” This time Tang Dou was confused.
Why did Young Uncle seem a bit different today?
Normally, he would never initiate a conversation with them.
“Do I seem scary?” Sheng Yeli didn’t wait for her response, offering his own answer.
“Of course not.” Tang Dou snapped back to reality and explained immediately, “It’s just that you usually seem so unreachable, like a deity in my eyes.” Afraid he wouldn’t understand, she added, “I mean, like a temple’s Buddha, I’m afraid of disrespecting you.”
Every time standing before him, she felt like an ant, unworthy of speaking to him.
Sheng. Temple’s Buddha. Yeli furrowed his brow.
What kind of weird analogy is this?
After glancing at her, he retracted his gaze and turned to leave.
Tang Dou watched his back, letting out a deep breath. Oddly, when he stopped to talk to her earlier, she felt her heart race.
Must’ve been because she was too nervous.
