Kinh Uyen still kept his cool expression, his voice calm as if nothing had happened:
"I'm angry with you? How could that be? The young master didn't do anything for me to be angry."
Hearing that, I just wanted to sigh and think:
"Then what was your attitude just now? You were clearly angry and stubbornly denied it."
I was silent for a few seconds, then slightly tilted my head to look over. He was still focused on driving, his facial features under the afternoon sunlight seemed even colder.
Finally, I sighed softly, speaking softly, carrying a bit of softness as if coaxing:
"You… don't be angry anymore. I won't ask for the phone back. What happened just now… I was wrong. I'll just obediently listen to you, okay?"
My voice was so small that it was almost swallowed by the sound of the engine, but Kinh Uyen still heard it very clearly. His eyes moved slightly, his lips curled up slightly, then he tried to maintain his composure:
"Young master said to listen to me… is that true?"
I quickly nodded, blinking, stuttering:
"Yes, yes! So… so can you stop making this face? I… I don't like it."
Actually, he didn't intend to keep that attitude. It was just that just now, there were a few things that made him think, and he looked like he was angry. But when he heard me say that, and saw that nervous look as if he was afraid of being abandoned, Kinh Uyen couldn't help but laugh softly.
"Ha… young master like this, it really makes people unable to get angry."
When I heard that, I secretly sighed in relief, was he no longer angry?
I smiled lightly, asking again to make sure:
"So… you're no longer angry with me, right?"
Kinh Uyen glanced at me, his voice now much softer:
"Um. But I wasn't angry with the young master in the first place."
After saying that, he didn't say anything more, just continued driving. As for me, I was a little stunned, feeling something… not quite logical, but well, as long as he wasn't angry, it was fine. I leaned my head against the window, my heart gradually calming down without knowing that I was slowly, bit by bit… sinking deeper into an invisible hole created by that man.
Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped at the parking lot.
Kinh Uyen got out first, walked around to the side to open the door for me. His movements were so slow and thoughtful that I was a little stunned.
He even carefully placed his hand on the edge of the car door, to avoid me hitting my head when getting out.
As soon as I stood firm, Kinh Uyen suddenly leaned over, leaned closer, his low voice rang in my ear:
"Young master, remember…keep your word, okay?"
The distance was so close that his hot breath blew straight into my ear, startling me. A stream of warmth mixed with his distinctive pheromone scent made my head a little dizzy, my heart pounding.
I quickly turned my face away, gently pushed him away, and stammered:
"Um, I know…you…don't stand so close anymore."
Kinh Uyen looked at my shy appearance and smiled slightly, his eyes mixed with a bit of amusement, but he still obediently took half a step back, his voice much softer:
"Okay. But if the young master said he would listen, then from today…whatever I say, you have to listen."
Before I could understand what he was going to do, my hand was pulled away. Kinh Uyen led me around the entire amusement park, from the roller coaster to the merry-go-round, to the ball shooting and claw machine booths. At first, I was still cautious, but then… I don't know when, my laughter burst out uncontrollably.
He was so good at claw machines that in just half an hour, he had picked up a bunch of teddy bears for me, making me laugh bitterly:
"Are you planning to open a teddy bear shop?"
Kinh Uyen just raised his eyebrows slightly, replying in a light but meaningful voice:
"No. I just plan to… leave them in the young master's room."
The words made me pause, my face burning, not knowing how to respond other than to change to another game.
Just like that, we went from one game to another. The laughter, the cheers, the bright neon lights reflected on Kinh Uyen's solemn yet gentle face, and I gradually forgot the distance between us.
When it was completely dark, the two of them decided to go eat before leaving the amusement park. I had been playing all day, so I was so tired that I just leaned on the chair and fell asleep without realizing it.
Kinh Uyen watched me sleep, the yellow light shining on that peaceful face made his heart sink slightly.
When he got home, he didn't have the heart to wake me up, he just quietly put his arms around me and got out of the car, walked slowly through the long hallway, and gently placed me on the bed.
He sat on the edge of the bed, silently looking at the person sleeping in front of him. A few strands of hair fell down his cheek, he gently lifted his hand to brush them away, his voice very soft, as if it was only for himself:
"In the end... kid, who are you?"
That question echoed in the quiet night, like a confession he didn't dare say out loud.
Because at this moment, Kinh Uyen was almost certain that the person lying in front of him was no longer the same Co Van Tuong as beforea again.
That gaze, that voice… everything was so different, not like the Gu Yunxiang of before…
