Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 21

Despite his denial, his eyes were so calm and resembled an eagle overlooking its prey, which made Jiang Yao skeptical of his answer.

After a while, Jiang Yao murmured, "No, you're not. You're clearly angry."

"I told you, I'm not angry. Four years is quite short, I can wait," Lu Xingzhi clarified in a solemn tone. He then heaved a sigh of defeat and demanded, "I've said no, but you don't believe me. Tell me, what should I say or do to assure you that I'm not angry?"

This remark was regarded as Lu Xingzhi's surrender to Jiang Yao as she was going up a blind alley of suspecting his anger. She seemed to really care if she was irritating him.

"If you really aren't angry, smile at me," Jiang Yao said and put on a big smile for Lu Xingzhi.

The scorching sun in the summer felt like a natural stove baking the people on earth.

However, at this moment, the warm temperature didn't bother Lu Xingzhi at all, as if he couldn't feel the heat. His eyes were locked on her youthful and brilliant smiling face.

Lu Xingzhi was mesmerized by the sweet view. This was the first time Jiang Yao had ever smiled at him. Her pinkish lips curled slightly, revealing her sparkly white teeth and the cute canine tooth, with two dimples appearing at the side of her lips. Her eyes filled with happiness and hope that suddenly reminded him of the holy lake he saw in Tibet, perfectly transparent and tranquil.

"Ha." Instinctively, Lu Xingzhi huffed a chuckle and stroked her head gently. "I swear, I'm not angry, as long as you're happy."

His explanation made Jiang Yao felt guilty about her skepticism. She wanted to apologize for doubting him.

"I prefer long hair on you. Can you let your hair grow when you go to college?"
