"Professor Xia, why aren't you saying anything? Are you too embarrassed to say it out loud?"
Seeing Xia Qiuming's thoughtful expression, Gu Jiaojiao playfully fired off two questions in a row.
"Haha, what's there to be embarrassed about? Every time she sees me, she's like a mouse that's seen a cat. If that's not timid, what is?"
Especially when she tried to talk to him—she would just stutter. Xia Qiuming didn't really have the heart to say that part out loud.
He was afraid she'd start crying if he mentioned it. The mere thought of that scene made Xia Qiuming laugh even more gleefully.
Xu Yue secretly snuck a glance at Xia Qiuming. His normally serious face was now lit up with a brilliant smile, which made her heart flutter.
Her heart suddenly started to THUMP, THUMP, THUMP. 'He really is the man I've had a crush on for years,' she thought to herself. 'He looks so handsome when he smiles.'
