Josephine replied to him with a bright smile.

Jay felt hurt because of Angeline's worry for Josephine.

"Angeline, have you ever been worried for me?" Jay asked dispiritedly.

She looked at him and asked with uncertainty, "You're... Jealous?"

Although he did not want to admit it, it was the truth. He used his silence to admit it.

Angeline was surprised by his response, but she soon smiled. "Love, you can't be jealous of your own sister, can you?"

Instead of feeling embarrassed about it, he responded proudly, "Anything or anyone that makes you worry about them more than me makes me jealous."

Angeline was rendered speechless by this. He was the king of jealousy.

His gaze appeared hurt like a sad little puppy when he saw how non-understanding her reaction was.

"You don't care about me."

Angeline felt so accused. "I'm more innocent than the Central Park Five." "Then tell me how you worry about me?"

Angeline lowered her long lashes as she blinked. They were like a butterfly's wings gently tapping on the leaves. It could attract the attention of all the flowers surrounding it. "Love, the way I worry about you is like how the falling leaves would always reach for its roots, like how the soil would nourish the flowers..." she answered sincerely.

Unfortunately, Jay was not going to let her off the hook easily. "I hope that you can explain it in a simpler way."

She was dumbfounded.

"Aren't you the top student in class?"

"You know that my romantic side is not functional."

He was not going to let her off easily with such a vague answer.

Angeline, "..."

He pressured her with his gaze. Time stood still as if his reason for living is to wait for her answer.

Angeline could not escape from his gaze and sighed softly.

She just realized that boys in love were such nitpicking species.

She played with his shirt button and asked, "You seriously wanna hear it?"

"Hmm."

Angeline said, "It's quite long. I might not finish it even after three days and three nights..."

"Speak," Jay said between his teeth.

Angeline's eyes shimmered with tears. "When I was younger, I was worried that you couldn't have flavorful instant noodles, I was worried that you might trip and fall when you go out, I was worried that you might be caught in an aviation accident whenever you took a flight, I was even worried that you might run out of toilet paper when you use the washroom..."

Jay's Adam's apple rolled in his throat. Why did he open up a can of worms? Was he trying to torture himself?

"Then when you grew up?"

"I was worried that you're too handsome and would be the target of detestation when you chase after the beauty queen of your school. I worried that you're too smart and would receive curses from others because you would always win the school's scholarships."

"Angeline..." He immediately interrupted her. If she continued, it would truly take up more than three days and three nights.

"Let's continue this topic another day." He swore that he would never open up a can of worms like that ever again.

Angeline smiled. "Then I'll go back to my room to

sleep."

Jay nodded, looking overwhelmingly reluctant to let her go.

Angeline got up to leave.

He was disheartened by her lack of passion and looked at her back view begrudgingly.

'Did she just leave in such a carefree manner?'

He opened his mouth and wanted to ask her to stay when Angeline suddenly turned around, pounced on him, and bit him on his throat. Jay was stunned. 'What is this girl up to?'
