Anthea originally wanted to make trouble for Adam again.
But his strong chest leaned over her, and the heat from his body could clearly be felt by her through the camouflage. Her heart became softened, and her body trembled out of excitement in an instant. She suddenly felt herself a fragile woman in the face of Adam's personal fascination.
She said in a muffled voice, "Um..."
Adam bent his elbow back and put his palm over her head.
Anthea puffed her cheeks again and pouted. "An instructor said that he saw you walking outside of the campus!"
"You naughty girl!" Adam said in a low voice.
After hearing that, Anthea became very angry.
"Oh! How dare he scold me!"
When she was about to break free from his arms, she heard him continue, "You had sent me a message to complain that the Sweet-and-sour Ribs in the canteen were sold out, so I went outside to buy something in a restaurant."
Adam took the lunch box next to him. After he opened it, Anthea saw the Sweet-and-sour Ribs which were still steaming hot.
The Sweet-and-sour Ribs seemed to be very delicious, and even the air seemed to be filled with the sweet and sour fragrance.
Anthea swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Her unhappiness disappeared in an instant, and she even felt a little ashamed of her behavior just now.
She had had an unnecessary feeling of jealousy!
She had wronged him. He didn't go outside of the campus for having dinner together with his sister-in-law. Instead, he bought her the Sweet-and-sour Ribs that she couldn't eat in the canteen.
Anthea's arrogance, or even dignity, had gone. She touched her nose with an apologetic expression and then rubbed her head against his chest.
She clasped her hands around his strong waist and only felt that she was hugging the whole world. She raised her delicate face and asked him tenderly, "Why did you stay in the medical room for so long a time during the military training in the afternoon? I couldn't find you anywhere!"
Adam frowned.
After sending Shelby to the medical room, she woke up under the treatment of the campus doctor. She then asked Adam to call her family members.
When the Jiles family received the news, they told Adam that they would come to the college. As Adam used to be the husband of Rory Hsu, it would be more polite for him to wait for members of the Jiles family to come. That's why he stayed with Jiles for a long time.
After that, Shelby did invite Adam to have dinner with her, but he refused.
Adam gave Anthea a rough explanation of what had happened. Anthea nodded and was no longer upset. But then, she thought of something and stumbled, as if she casually said that, "When Shelby fainted, I thought you would take her to the medical room by holding her in your arms..."
Adam replied seriously, "At that time, there were so many students present, and Shelby was a girl. As the general instructor, I should behave properly and tried to avoid rumors."
At this, Anthea curled up her lips and felt aggrieved.
She originally believed that it was because of her existence that Adam didn't want to hold Shelby up personally. However, Adam gave a different answer...
Adam pinched her little face. "Are you a little disappointed with my answer?"
"No!" Anthea lied.
Although she denied it, the expression on her face was obvious.
A 19-year-old girl like Anthea might be able to put on an act in front of other girls, but in front of a military officer like Adam, it was quite impossible for her to hide her thoughts. Adam could instantly see through that she was telling a lie.
Just like what he did last night in the restaurant, Adam put his thin lips near her ears.
Although there were only the two of them here, he still murmured to her, "You're my little princess. You're the only girl I will embrace..."
It was Anthea, and no one else, who was Adam's little princess...
Anthea's face turned bright red.
She was indeed embarrassed.
