The words had barely left his mouth when Shen Yuan felt a heavy blow to his leg.
"Get lost, you pervert!"
Backed into a corner by Shen Yuan, Li Zhi's survival instincts kicked in, and she sent him stumbling back with a swift kick.
Seizing the moment while Shen Yuan was in pain, she shot up from her chair and tried to escape his room.
But her plan only made it to step one.
Li Zhi had just kicked Shen Yuan, but before she could even stand up, his fingers clamped around her misbehaving ankle like a steel trap.
"Think you can get away?" His deep, hoarse voice was laced with lingering pain.
Seeing the dangerous smile on Shen Yuan's face, Li Zhi suddenly tilted her head back, her swan-like neck on display. The red at the corners of her eyes betrayed her fear before her voice could. "Y-You started it..."
Before she could finish, Li Zhi saw that Shen Yuan was about to start tickling the sole of her foot again.
"I-I was wrong."
