Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 528: How is this a good thing

Liu Hui Ying felt her heart skip a beat as Zhai Tianyu got closer to her. She didn't understand why, but for some reason, him being this close to her made her lungs constrict. Not only did they constrict, but she also felt like she was breathing through a bamboo pole. The one that was used when someone was underwater.

She stared at the man, whose face was so close to her that she could see her reflection in his eyes. His short bangs were falling just above his eyes, and the mole under his left eye peeked through his fanning lashes. If he was any closer to her, then his lips would be moving against hers.

The thought alarmed her and set her face on fire. Not literally, but enough to make her face turn red. Redder than the begonias and the roses that were blooming in the garden.

And that idiot took it as a sign to step away from her.

"Hey, are you okay? Are you feeling allergic?" Zhai Tianyu stepped away from Liu Hui Ying. He really thought she was feeling stifled because of his presence and though Liu Hui Ying's breathing eased, she felt a sense of loss when he pulled away from her. "My queen?"

He called out tentatively when he saw Liu Hui Ying breathing as if she were on the verge of exploding.

"Who asked you to get so close?" As soon as Zhai Tianyu stepped away, Liu Hui Ying felt blood rush into her head as she raised her hands and pushed him away from her. She was humiliated, as she knew that the reason she was turning red in the face had nothing to do with her allergy.

In fact, for the first time in her life, she was not feeling uncomfortable in the presence of a man.

If Zhai Tianyu was paying attention he would have noticed the changes in Liu Hui Ying, but he wasn't paying attention. In fact, it would be right to say that he could not pay attention because he was not prepared for Liu Hui Ying to suddenly push him, Zhai Tianyu's felt his feet slip on the snow. His body arched back, and he flailed his hands with a shocked look on his face.

"What are you doing? Do you want me to die, I just treated my allergy ...it hasn't been an hour——"

"But your allergy is not flaring up," he said to her, interrupting her blabbering which caused Liu Hui Ying to pause and look at him as if he had spouted three heads. No, in fact, it would have been fine if she was watching Zhai Tianyu growing three heads instead of listening to what he said to her.

Her allergy was not flaring up? How was that possible? She reached out and touched her face and arms, sure enough, her skin was smooth and flawless, without an inch of blemish on her skin. This was something that had never happened before, and it scared the bejesus out of her, Liu Hui Ying was not kidding. She was never scared of anything, nu huh.

She was someone who had hardly flinched when she saw a corpse being dug out of the ground.

One that was rotten to the point that the flesh on it turned dark and black. It smelled so bad that a few officers fainted, and yet, she stayed fine...freaking fine. On her feet and everything, but now ...she wanted to faint.

Liu Hui Ying closed her eyes, hoping for an itch to start somewhere but nope. Nothing. Her body remained as calm as it could have been and when she opened her eyes, she was blessed with Zhai Tianyu's obnoxious smile, one that was filled with so much arrogance that it made her annoyed to the point where she wanted to slap him in the face.

"Your allergy got better," he announced instead of questioning.

"No, I told you that I was suffering from my allergy this afternoon, I just treated it——" Liu Hui Ying stopped speaking midway, but it was too late. '

Now the man was even more arrogant than the king of the world as he smiled down at her.
