They say that in a moment of desperation, one can come up with a clever idea. But for Zhaozhao, when she was in a hurry, her mind went blank. She completely forgot that Su Yuan was a demon. There was no need to hide in the wardrobe, as he could just turn invisible.
Su Yuan was probably also stunned by Zhaozhao's habitual action. He just stood stupidly in the wardrobe, at a loss.
"Zhaozhao?" Song Yao came in with a glass of milk. Seeing Zhaozhao propping up the wardrobe, she casually asked, "Are you looking for clothes to change?"
"Ah... yes." Zhaozhao straightened her back and forced a smile. "I'm trying to find what to wear tomorrow."
Song Yao thought it was quite strange. Based on her observations in the past few days, this silly girl Zhaozhao never really cared about her clothes. It seemed that all her little thoughts were on food and Su Yuan.
Thinking of Su Yuan, she couldn't help but recall the determined look on Zhaozhao's face when she said she wanted to be with Su Yuan that day. It was really annoying!
Song Yao shook her head, trying to shake this annoying thought out of her mind.
"Come here and drink the milk. Have you finished your homework assigned by the teacher?" Song Yao handed the milk to Zhaozhao and casually picked up Zhaozhao's homework to check.
To be honest, Song Yao was a bit nervous as she held the papers in her hand. Her anticipation was mixed with fear. She hoped that Zhaozhao would make some progress and that she wouldn't see any overly absurd answers.
Zhaozhao took a sip of the milk. It was a bit sweet. She savored the taste. She guessed that her cousin knew she hated the taste of plain milk, so she added some sugar.
Seeing Song Yao's somewhat strange expression, Zhaozhao tilted her head curiously and asked, "Cousin, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing, nothing." Song Yao wasn't sure if she was talking to herself or to Zhaozhao. She took a deep breath and opened the test paper.
To her surprise, all of Zhaozhao's answers were correct. At least she didn't make any common - sense mistakes anymore.
Song Yao was very relieved. She roughly flipped through a few pages and saw that Zhaozhao only had a few questions left to answer.
She originally wanted Zhaozhao to go to bed early. Although studying was important, sleep was equally important. But now seeing that there were only a few questions left, she decided to let Zhaozhao finish them all so that she could sleep more soundly.
"Finish these questions and then go to bed quickly, okay?"
"Okay." Zhaozhao gulped down the milk in one go. She was still thinking about Su Yuan in the wardrobe. She just wanted her cousin to leave quickly. At this moment, she would surely nod and say yes to whatever Song Yao said.
"Alright, come here quickly. Don't lie on the bed. It's bad for your eyes. Sit at the table." Song Yao was really like a mother, nagging at Zhaozhao non - stop, worrying about this and that.
Zhaozhao shuffled over slowly. She wanted to ask her cousin when she would leave, but she was afraid of arousing suspicion. So she could only secretly glance at the wardrobe and touch the dragon scale around her neck for comfort.
Su Yuan was bending his long legs. He was really cramped in the small wardrobe. He was so annoyed that he even laughed at himself.
This kid was too naughty. Sometimes, she needed to be taught a lesson, otherwise, one day she would become disobedient, just like the rebellious kids in his colleague's family.
"What are you looking at? Come here quickly. It's already very late. Finish your homework earlier and go to bed earlier." Seeing Zhaozhao's slow pace, Song Yao couldn't help but urge her.
"Okay, I'm coming." Forget it. She should quickly finish the questions, let her cousin leave, and rescue Su Yuan!
Without hesitation, Zhaozhao got motivated and started writing quickly with her head down.
Whether they were correct or not didn't matter. Filling up the paper was the most important thing.
Song Yao watched Zhaozhao's serious look and was very satisfied.
After watching for less than a minute, she suddenly remembered that Zhaozhao was propping up the wardrobe when she first entered the room. She also noticed that there were no clothes taken out in the room. She guessed that Zhaozhao didn't have time to take them out before she was interrupted.
Seeing that there wasn't much time left, the happy Song Yao decided to take care of her silly sister. She walked over to the wardrobe and asked, "What clothes are you looking for? Otherwise, I'll help you take them out first."
"!!!" Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat. "Don't touch it!"
She rushed in front of Song Yao like a little whirlwind and blocked the wardrobe door. Her face was full of refusal, panicked and nervous. "Cousin... cousin, it's okay. I can find them myself."
"What's wrong?" Song Yao retracted her hand helplessly. This was the first time Zhaozhao had looked at her with such a resistant expression. It hurt Song Yao, who was like a mother hen.
"I... I, I just..." Zhaozhao stammered for a long time but couldn't say anything. She drooped her head dejectedly.
Song Yao stared at the whorl on the top of her head. She knew that Zhaozhao had her own privacy, and it seemed reasonable that she didn't want her to see.
Knowing it was one thing, but digesting it was another. Song Yao sighed. "Then finish your work earlier and rest. I'll go back to sleep first. I have to go back to the Xuan Sect tomorrow."
She reached out and ruffled Zhaozhao's hair, then turned around and left, closing the door for Zhaozhao.
Zhaozhao let out a sigh of relief. She gently patted her chest. Fortunately, she managed to get through it. She was almost discovered. It really scared her.
She turned around and opened the wardrobe door. She bent down and looked inside. "Su Yuan, it's okay! My cousin is gone. You can—ah!"
A strong arm wrapped around her slender waist, and Zhaozhao was pulled into the wardrobe. Her hand pressed against Su Yuan's firm and tense abs. In the dark wardrobe, Su Yuan's hot breath sprayed on her ear.
"Su Yuan... what are you doing?" Instinctively, Zhaozhao felt a sense of danger. Su Yuan's hand on her waist was squeezing slightly.
The Dragon Lord had been in the wardrobe for so long. He said he was going to teach the little troublemaker a lesson, but now that she was leaning on him, all he wanted to do was kiss her.
"Zhaozhao, am I so disgraceful?" He deliberately asked in a tone full of grievance and restraint, trying to make Zhaozhao feel guilty.
Sure enough, Zhaozhao was really deceived. She quickly explained, "No, how could you be disgraceful? I just don't want my cousin to be angry. If she sees you now, she will be even more reluctant to let me see you in the future."
Su Yuan of course knew what was going on. He was just pretending.
"It's so dark in the wardrobe. I was quite scared, but I considered you, so I endured it and didn't come out." He was a natural at using tea - like words. Coupled with his unparalleled face, it was really heart - wrenching to look at.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." Zhaozhao apologized anxiously. Unconsciously, she got closer to Su Yuan and pressed herself into his arms.
Su Yuan put his hand on Zhaozhao's lower back. His Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes darkened. Some rogue thoughts lingered in his mind. He put them into action and sat up, holding Zhaozhao face - to - face on his lap in an absolutely dominant and possessive gesture.
"Then when Zhaozhao apologizes, shouldn't she give me some substantial compensation? Hmm?"
"Yes..." The places touched by Su Yuan were faintly hot. Zhaozhao's heart was beating very fast. She didn't quite understand why. She just instinctively closed her eyes.
Su Yuan hooked his lips into a smile and reached out his other hand to caress her face.
