Are You Afraid of Me?

Miao Dong took a big bite of the instant noodles. She felt a great satisfaction in her stomach and couldn't help but show a relaxed smile towards the air.

It had been a long time since she last ate instant noodles. When the word 'health preservation' became a trend, everyone around her brainwashed her every day. If she wanted to live a good life, she had to soak her feet with wolfberries. She also had to eat with as little as possible oil or salt. In order not to fall sick and not to spend money in the hospital, Miao Dong really lived a boring life every day!

She didn't expect that even though she was so careful, she still had a car accident and was sent directly to another world.

At the thought of this, Miao Dong sniffled hard. She wondered if her parents were very sad when she left. What would they do without her?

Zhou Feng stared at the series of changes in Miao Dong's expression and actually had a strange feeling. He… was so cute?

Was he okay? Why did he feel a boy was cute!

He shook his head and quickly ate some instant noodles to calm himself down.

Miao Dong came back to her senses and stared at him eating the instant noodles so happily. She sighed in her heart. "He's still a child. He feels so satisfied even just eating a cup of instant noodles."

Zhou Feng suddenly looked up and met Miao Dong's eyes. Miao Dong was startled and immediately lowered her head. She felt guilty as if she had been caught talking bad about someone behind his back and continued to obediently eat.

Zhou Feng frowned and asked her, "Little stutterer, are you afraid of me?"

Miao Dong was puzzled. "What did you call me? Little stutterer? Big Brother, don't tell me you still don't know my name after so long?"

"Ahem." Zhou Feng covered his mouth with his fist and coughed twice to hide his embarrassment. "Then what's your name?"

"…Miao Dong. The winter Dong!" Miao Dong replied readily.

Zhou Feng said subconsciously, "You don't feel like winter at all."

This time, it was Miao Dong's turn to be stunned. This guy was too serious, right?

Zhou Feng finished the soup in the cup of instant noodles and pushed it away. Then he got up and lay on his bed.

The screen between them was kicked aside by him. He seemed to only use this screen at night when he was sleeping. He probably didn't want anyone to see him sleeping.

Zhou Feng repeated his question. "Why are you afraid of me?"

Miao Dong took a bite of noodles. "Why do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Although she was indeed worried that Zhou Feng would kill her one day when he was in a bad mood, she didn't make it obvious.

Zhou Feng stretched out a hand very seriously and raised it into the air. Every time he said something, he would extend a finger. "Firstly, you don't dare to look me in the eye. Secondly, you stutter when you talk to me. Thirdly, when you sleep at night, you curl up into a ball and even say in your sleep 'Don't hit me'."

"Huh!" Miao Dong was shocked. She was not asking him to write a thesis. Was it necessary for him to list out three points?

Also, did she have the habit of talking in her sleep? Why didn't she know?

Miao Dong followed suit and placed a hand in front of herself to count seriously. "Firstly, I don't look you in the eye because we're not familiar with each other yet. You're very…" Miao Dong thought about the appropriate adjective carefully. "You're very cold."

Miao Dong extended a second finger. "Secondly, I stuttered when I spoke to you because the tone of your speech was very harsh.!"

"Really?" Zhou Feng retorted and sat up.

Miao Dong was so frightened that she immediately sat up straight. "Yes! You didn't even notice it yourself!"

Seeing her like this, Zhou Feng deflated and lay down again. "Alright. What about the third point?"

Only then did Miao Dong relax. "Isn't the third point easy to explain? Think about the first time we met. You hit your roommate and even threw my luggage out! How can I not be afraid of you? Of course I'll have nightmares and talk in my sleep!"

Zhou Feng thought about it. That seemed to be the case.

He suddenly laughed. "Alright, Miao… Miao Dong."

He had yet to remember this name. He paused when he said it. "From now on, you're mine. I'll protect you when you're out. Don't be afraid."

Miao Dong looked at his side profile. He crossed his legs and looked relaxed and at ease. Her heart was beating non-stop as she started to stutter again. "…What do you mean by… I'm… yours?" Her voice became softer and softer.
