Chapter 5

I looked up at him hopefully. Professor Ryan seemed to understand my meaning and pointed at the workout plan on the wall.

Well, I guess I was overthinking things.

"So tell me, how did you manage to gain weight while supposedly unable to eat or sleep? And weren't you saying you wanted abs to show off your manly strength?"

He's definitely mocking me! Did he really have to say it out loud just because I was bluffing?!

I glared at him. "Haven't you heard of emotional eating?! Yes, when I'm really upset I binge eat. It's normal to gain weight."

Professor Ryan raised an eyebrow at me and lifted my shirt, his warm hand touching the soft flesh on my belly. The heated sensation made my whole body feel like it was on fire.

"You touched me, so you have to forgive me now!"

Professor Ryan sighed helplessly and continued fondling the soft flesh on my stomach. "Looks like you got lazy again without me around."

I hugged Professor Ryan tightly. "That's right, so you need to be my personal trainer for life."

Professor Ryan glared at me. I grinned and stroked his earlobe, feigning surprise. "Oh my, Professor, your ears are turning red."

The next second, the tips of Professor Ryan's ears really did turn bright red.

I smiled at him triumphantly. "Just kidding, but now they really are red."

Our eyes met, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

Noticing the reaction down below, my face instantly flushed red. I tried to get up and flee.

But Professor Ryan grabbed me, his warm body still damp from the shower pressing close. "You're feeling it too, aren't you?"
