Chapter 68: Return to the Seat
Back at their seats, Lu Xun dropped his hand that had been propping up his chin. The worry in his eyes faded, replaced by excitement and eagerness.
He struggled to suppress the urge to raise his voice and whispered, "Ah Xu, you’re finally back."
He had been wondering why it took her so long to go to the bathroom. He almost thought she might have been cornered by some anti-fan or toxic fan.
"..."
A man sitting in the row behind them subtly clenched his hand around the newspaper he was holding upon hearing Lu Xun's words. He put the newspaper down, took out a book, and adjusted his glasses with a finger, then lowered his head to focus on the book.
"Mm." Yan Zhixu didn’t offer further explanation, merely nodding.
A casual glance landed on a familiar face sitting behind them.
Wearing 8-centimeter heels, she walked slowly toward him and asked, "What book are you reading?"
Fu Shimo didn’t lift his head, still staring at the book in his hands. His voice was cold, distant, and almost unapproachable, "Human dissection."
Lu Xun, who had been on edge, twitched at the corner of his eye upon hearing this.

He had been worried that this person might try to strike up a conversation with Ah Xu.
But Ah Xu wasn’t the type to casually talk to strangers.
Fu Shimo looked up, his gaze cool as he placed the book aside. "If you’re interested, I can lend it to you."
Yan Zhixu bent down, picked up the thick book, and flipped through a few pages. "Then I won’t be polite."
The book was in excellent condition, with no creases on the pages.
Either it wasn’t read often, or the owner took great care of it.
It was clear that Fu Shimo fell into the latter category, as the book didn’t have that stale smell of unused pages, nor the scent of a new book.
"..."
A faint fragrance lingered around her as she bent down, which Fu Shimo clearly noticed.
The scene from the bathroom flashed in his mind, and his gaze momentarily darkened.
The others around them were speechless.
One of them dared to speak freely, and the other was brave enough to accept—this pair’s preferences were truly strange and gave an eerie feeling.
But… this woman was clearly a beauty just from her figure. The man, on the other hand, wasn’t much of a flirt; he had missed the chance to approach such a stunning woman.
Lu Xun was confused.
When did Ah Xu develop an interest in such a dark and disturbing book?
He seriously suspected that Ah Xu had become attracted to this “dog man’s” looks.
Noticing Lu Xun's gaze, Fu Shimo glanced at him briefly.
His look was calm and distant, not stirred in the least, instantly making Lu Xun feel embarrassed.
This man clearly seemed like a gentleman, and he shouldn’t have been harboring any malicious thoughts about him.
Fu Shimo withdrew his gaze. "Go back to your seat. It’s unsafe to walk around."
Especially wearing such high heels. Even a slight breeze could throw her off balance.
If she twisted her ankle, her delicate, fair ankle would bruise up quickly.
The more calmly Fu Shimo acted, the more Yan Zhixu was inclined to tease him. "I’ll take that as you caring for me."
In response to her words, Fu Shimo remained just as composed, unaffected.
She pouted and quietly admired his extraordinary willpower and self-control.
Unless he himself let down his guard, it seemed nearly impossible for others to shake his resolve.
He closed the book and turned to return to his seat.
"Ha..."
The flight attendant, who had been observing their interaction, sighed in relief. The tension between these two was so strong that she didn’t dare approach them to interrupt.
