157 The Real Her

The changes in Lyca's face made Shen Qui chuckle, he turned his head away before bursting out into a soft laughter. For a few seconds, Lyca was confused. She squinted her eyes, her face morphing into a frown before she gave him a playful shove. She moved away from his lap and sat a few feet away from him.

He turned at her and gave her a wide-eyed look before dissolving into another puddle of laughter.

"Stop laughing!" she hissed while pinching his arm. Seeing Shen Qui's carefree self-made her smile inwardly. Now that he was acting like this, Lyca immediately felt that he had turned younger. The creases on his forehead disappeared and were replaced by the face of the man that she knew before she fell asleep. "Stop mocking me!" she uttered and glared at him. And he did before he pulled her back towards him and let her sat on his lap, straddling him. Lyca let out a soft squeal from the sudden action.
