Chapter 2628: Slowly Winning Her Over (3)
"Ah?" Meimei now had her mouth slightly open, staring at him dumbfounded.
"Unwilling?" Dan Tingye looked at her dazed look and thought she was unwilling, his expression slightly darkened.
Meimei quickly shook her head, "No, it’s just that the private villa has so many chefs. Whatever you want to eat, they can make it better than me."
Although she could cook, she was far worse than professional chefs. Why would he want to eat what she made?
"Then it’s settled. You’re responsible for my breakfast from now on." Dan Tingye ignored the confusion in her eyes, spoke casually, and placed his notebook in front of her, lifting his hand to ruffle her hair.
"Finish copying the notes first. If there’s anything you don’t understand, I’ll teach you during study hall."
"Oh." Meimei looked at the notes placed in front of her, her eyes brightening. She completely forgot what she’d promised Dan Tingye and immediately began copying seriously.
After she finished copying, she realized Dan Tingye had been staring at her the whole time, a smile playing at his lips. She blinked in surprise and instinctively reached out to touch her face.
"Is there something dirty on my face?"
"There wasn’t initially, but now there is." Dan Tingye spoke softly, watched her bemused little face, and reached out to clasp her wrist, lifting her hand up.
Her fingers had touched ink that hadn’t dried yet, so focused was she on copying that she hadn’t noticed until now when she touched her face, a small patch got smeared.
"Ah!" Meimei exclaimed in surprise, flushed with embarrassment, and was about to wipe her face.
As soon as her hand moved, Dan Tingye grasped it firmly. He raised an eyebrow coolly, "You can’t see it, how can you wipe it?"
Meimei was stunned for a moment.
"I’ll help you."
Dan Tingye seemed to have thought it through long ago, his fingers gently brushing her cheek, watching her puff out her cheeks intentionally to make it easier for him to clean, his eyes reflecting a pampering smile.
Even though he’d already cleaned it, he seemed to be indulging in the feeling of touching her small face, hesitating to withdraw his hand.
Meimei puffed her cheeks until they were sore, "Tingye, is my face still dirty? Maybe I should go wash it."
Saying this, she was about to get up and go to the bathroom when Dan Tingye snapped back to reality and stopped her.
His dark eyes sparkled as he quickly hid his emotions, speaking calmly, "No need, it’s already clean."
"Oh."
Only then did Meimei sit back in her seat, dazed, bowing her head to look at the notes she’d just copied from him.
She hadn’t noticed at all that ever since she became his deskmate, Dan Tingye’s gaze had never returned to the professor at the podium but stayed on her...

"Ring—"
"Finally class is over, listening to economics theory all day has made my head swell." As soon as the bell rang, Jiang Nan was the first to stand up from his seat, eagerly walking towards Meimei.
"Class is over, I’ll walk you home."
"Meimei has me, she doesn’t need you to escort her!" Youyou packed up her books and also walked to Meimei’s desk, reaching out to pull Meimei up, ready to go.
Jiang Nan quickly grabbed Meimei’s other hand, glaring at Youyou, "I swear, if you don’t compete with me for a day, you’d be uncomfortable all over, wouldn’t you?"
"That’s right, I just can’t stand you, besides being lazy, all you do is compete with me for people, what else can you do?"
