Kong Xiuru attempted to maintain her regular serious expression diligently. However, for some reason, she kept recalling the feeling when Ling Yun pulled her into his arms. She couldn't keep that expression up.
As they went up in the elevator, Kong Xiuru could finally stare boldly at Ling Yun in that small space. After a while, she said casually, "Ling Yun, you've changed."
"Oh? How so?" Ling Yun's lips curled into a smile as he asked this intentionally.
Kong Xiuru felt strangely embarrassed as she said in a shaky voice, "You've become more daring lately, and you're a bad kid now. Y-You even dared to hug your own teacher…"
Without knowing why, Kong Xiuru wanted to say that Ling Yun dared to hook his arm around her. However, she said that he hugged her instead.
The difference between wrapping an arm around a shoulder and a hug was large.
