Lin An: "..."
No.
"That isn't what I meant—"
"Young master, I still have things to attend to. I'll leave you to it."
With that, Long Hengxu hurriedly disconnected.
Beep.
The call ended.
Lin An stared at the dark screen, motionless for a long while.
In his arms, Gu Yue was still licking her fruit, completely oblivious to what had just happened.
The little dragon had lost herself entirely in licking it, lying limply in Lin An's arms.
Lin An rested his hand on her soft little belly, rubbing it idly.
Gu Yue offered no resistance whatsoever. In fact, she was so comfortable that her whole body went limp.
Lin An glanced down at her, intending to put her down first.
But the moment his hand left Gu Yue's belly, the Little Silver Dragon jerked her head up.
"Meow!"
Lin An stopped and looked down at her.
Looking thoroughly displeased, Gu Yue called out to him again.
"Meow—"
Then she reached out with both little paws, grabbed Lin An's hand, and pressed it back onto her belly.
She even wriggled around to settle his palm more comfortably against her before she was satisfied.
Gu Yue lowered her head again and went back to licking her little fruit.
Lin An: "..."
There was nothing he could do.
In the end, he could only stand up in that same position, still cradling Gu Yue in his arms.
Gu Yue didn't even realize that she had moved. As Lin An lifted her along with him, she merely adjusted her position on instinct.
Her front paws still guarded her fruit, and the hand on her belly was still there. Her sense of security instantly topped out.
Then she carried on. Lick, take a tiny bite, squint, wag her tail.
The entire sequence flowed seamlessly,
