Lu Xiao had only ever seen ears like that on a wolf—pointed, erect, and possessing an unyielding spirit that refused to bend to anything.
Ares felt his whole body heat up under her sparkling gaze. The wolf ears on his head twitched involuntarily.
"I can be Xiao Xiao's puppy." As he said this, his fingers lightly traced his Adam's apple, whether intentionally or not, carrying a certain implication.
'Ares is something else,' Lu Xiao thought. 'How did he get so good at this? Is he flirting with me?'
'What's he doing touching his Adam's apple? Is he hinting that he's missing a collar and bell?'
Lu Xiao's cheeks grew hot and her heart pounded. She took a strategic sip of water to calm herself down.
To make matters worse, Ares was giving her the puppy-dog eyes.
After finishing her water, Lu Xiao decided she couldn't let him get the upper hand. She beckoned to Ares with a finger. "Come here and let me touch your ears."
