Chapitre 44: 044: Brother Zhi Who Loves the House and Its Crow (Part 1)

"Since you don't agree, I'll have to use force." He reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Zhou Xu Fang reflexively raised her hand.

"Cough, cough, cough..." His chin rested on her shoulder, and all his coughing sounded in her ear. "I'm not in good health, go easy on me."

Her hand stiffened in midair and didn't come down.

He looked pitiable, like the stray gray cat abandoned outside her building; it softened her heart. She barely dared to use any strength, just poking him with one finger. "Let go."

She pushed very, very lightly.

Jiang Zhi didn't let go. He held her waist tightly and, knowing her strength, used all his might to keep her in his embrace. "Don't move, just for a while."

It felt a bit warm.

Zhou Xu Fang's body temperature was low; she hadn't felt so hot and flustered in years; her skin was heating up. She was very uncomfortable and pushed Jiang Zhi away forcefully with two fingers.
