Adrian Zhekova smiled and suddenly raised his hand, letting his palm gently rest on top of Cindy Clarke’s head.
Cindy was startled for a moment, feeling the tender force on her hair. “Good luck tomorrow,” Adrian said softly, gently massaging her head for a moment or two.
Cindy’s heartbeat suddenly quickened and she responded in a low voice, “Okay.” “Then get some rest early; I’m going to bed,” Adrian said softly. “Don’t stay up too late, either. You need to be well-rested for the competition tomorrow.” “Yeah, I’m going to bed now,” Cindy obediently replied.
Seeing her act so obediently made Adrian struggle to hold himself back.
He almost didn’t want to leave; he just wanted to pull her into his arms and crush her into his bones.
But in the end, he left, taking his pillow and blanket with him.
With Adrian around, Cindy couldn’t easily bring herself to leave the bedroom.
Fortunately, she’d already washed up before Adrian came.
Otherwise, she’d be afraid of having another awkward moment like last time.
Though Adrian had already left and she was the only one in the bedroom, it seemed as if the room was still filled with his presence; the air was filled with the scent of mint from his body.
Cindy closed the door, her fingers touching the corner of her eye.
Just moments ago, when she’d fallen from the chair and Adrian caught her.
He’d leaned down, and his lips had seemed to brush the corner of her eye.
Cindy felt that the corner of her eye was hot; she couldn’t help but let out an irritated hum, then collapsed into bed.
While she was in the midst of her frustration, suddenly there was a knock at the door.
Cindy, still irritable, could tell it was Adrian just by the force of the knock; Morgan Zhekova wouldn’t have the strength to knock like that.
She annoyedly got up from bed and went to the door.
Upon opening the door, as expected, she saw Adrian standing there.
Looking at Cindy’s embarrassed and annoyed expression, Adrian couldn’t help but chuckle and say, “You haven’t given me my pajamas yet.”
Cindy was already extremely flustered. If Adrian continued to tease her, she might just become furious!
“Wait a minute!” Cindy said, not daring to look at him.
Cindy quickly pulled open the drawer where the pajamas were kept; this was actually where she kept her own pajamas.
However, there was still room to spare, just enough to fit Adrian’s set.
“Did you put my pajamas together with yours?” Adrian’s voice suddenly sounded behind her again.
Even though she’d already experienced this kind of surprise once, Cindy still couldn’t help but be unprepared for it.
Who knew this man would actually follow her in again!
Startled, Cindy quickly turned around, but she didn’t expect Adrian to be so close this time.
As she turned, her shoulder brushed against his chest.
By the time she had turned completely, she found herself trapped by Adrian in front of the wardrobe.
Flustered, the redness spread from Cindy’s scalp down to her neck, and she angrily said, “Why didn’t you say anything before coming in again? Don’t you know it’s rude to enter a girl’s room like this without permission?”
“Sorry,” Adrian apologized sincerely, lowering his head. “I just wanted to see where you put my pajamas.”
“Would I just throw them somewhere?” Cindy didn’t mean to deliberately block his words, but she was just too embarrassed; she hadn’t thought before speaking.
Actually, she didn’t even know what she was saying.
“No, it’s just curiosity; it’s my fault,” Adrian chuckled lightly and didn’t get angry because of what Cindy said.
He wasn’t that petty.
Adrian’s light laughter, accompanied by his breath, gently brushed against Cindy’s forehead..
