Chapter 597: Chapter 594

She also lowered her head, refusing to look at him.

Yet Shen Lin still grabbed her, wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

"Say nothing, your makeup really does look quite convincing."

That smoky makeup did indeed add a touch of wild beauty to her innocence and loveliness, making her seem more like a little wildcat.

Unexpectedly, Li Zaijun struggled free from him, her voice somewhat stiff as she said, "Don’t touch me!"

As she spoke, she even rubbed her own arm, seemingly very reluctant to have any contact with him.

She was angry.

Shen Lin’s phoenix eyes briefly flickered; he was acutely aware of this.

Li Zaijun continued walking with her head down. They had reached the side of the street, where there were no traffic police anymore; it seemed they had successfully evaded them.

But now, she was preparing to walk to the roadside to hail a taxi.

Just as she passed by him after barely two steps, her wrist was suddenly seized by him.

"Where are you going!?" Shen Lin asked.

Li Zaijun’s anger surged like never before, and as she broke free from him again, she shouted at him, "What does it matter to you where I go!? I want to go home, I want to go to school, I want to be alone—in short, I don’t want to be with you!"

Li Zaijun was overwhelmed by a torrent of emotions.

It made her nose tingle, and she felt an inexplicable urge to cry.

What right did he have to do that and then act as if nothing had happened?

This jerk! How was he any different from a thug?

After yelling, she turned and tried to leave again.

But this time, she was abruptly pulled in by a strong embrace around her waist. She immediately bit down on his wrist unceremoniously. Shen Lin grunted but still didn’t let go.

Furthermore, when he spoke again, his breath was ragged, his breathing irregular yet his voice firm,

"Who said it has nothing to do with me, didn’t the stamp I just put on count for anything!?"

At these words, Li Zaijun’s struggling figure instantly stiffened.

"..."

What... did he just say?

Shen Lin helplessly wiped his face, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then murmured a curse under his breath before looking at her and saying,

"I know you despise my age, look down on me, but let me tell you, it’s the older ones who know how to cherish someone, know how to take care of you!"

His voice at the end was full of helplessness.

Because he hadn’t wanted to tell her so soon, didn’t want things to progress so fast, afraid it might frighten her, make her unable to accept it all at once.

After all, she had just gotten rid of a scumbag.

In her heart, she probably hadn’t yet let down her guard against men so quickly.

And as Li Zaijun listened to these words: "..."

This time, his words were clear and forthright, leaving her with no obstacle to fully understanding his intentions.

However, his words also sent deep shocks through her.

Making her feel even more... inconceivable.

Could it be that he... liked her?

Li Zaijun’s eyelashes fluttered, feeling that something within her was burning, creeping up her skin, as if even the air around her was about to evaporate...

She had no idea what she was thinking, only feeling as if she would suffocate if she stayed with him any longer.

Shen Lin wanted to say something more, but to his surprise, she struggled free again, quickly reached the intersection, hailed a taxi, and hurriedly got in.

"Hey! Li Zaijun—!"

Shen Lin immediately rushed forward: "Come back to me, Li Zaijun, I haven’t finished speaking! I haven’t finished..."
