Chapter 155
Zinnia gazed down at Yannis’s sleeping face, so stunning that it took her breath away. Yannis was unbelievably handsome, with long lashes kehty (93). against his cheeks and raven–black strands tousled across his forehead.
After confirming that Yannis was still asleep, Zinnia slowly reached out to his face, her soft fingertips lightly brushing against his smooth, delicate check –
Zinnia couldn’t resist giving his cheek a playful nudge. She felt that it was soft and bouncy. Her eyes sparkled like starlight as she muttered, “Not only
does he look amazing, but even touching him feels wonderful.”
From the corner of her eye, Zinnia noticed the faint red mole on the bridge of Yannis’s nose. She slowly moved her finger upward until it traced the tiny mark along the prominent ridge of his nose.
Though barely visible from a distance, the mole became distinct when she leaned close.
Zinnia stared at his gorgeous face for a long while, completely mesmerized. She murmured, “What would it be like to take a bite? Would he taste as good as he looks?”
Her eyes remained fixed on his face as she lowered her head. She couldn’t help but swallow.
As Zinnia’s warm breath fanned across his face, Yannis unconsciously frowned.
Just as Zinnia was about to kiss Yannis’s face, a faint murmur escaped from Yannis’s lips.
Zinnia froze. She jerked upright, and only then did she notice Yannis’s eyelashes fluttering. It was a clear sign he was about to wake up.
Zinnia scrambled to her feet so fast she nearly tripped. In her flustered rush, she hastily threw the sofa blanket over Yannis.
Zinnia was so flustered that she tossed the blanket directly over his face. She didn’t have time to worry about it. She scampered away, fumbling with the door before dashing out of the apartment.
Little did Zinnia know that all her flustered movements were noticed by Yannis. His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly as a faint, helpless smile played at his lips. But soon a heavy wave of drowsiness overwhelmed him, and he drifted back to sleep.
Yannis was drowsy during the massage. But even half–asleep, he could still hear Zinnia whispering into his ear, let alone feel her poking him.
Had it been anyone else, he would have pushed them away without a second thought. But since it was Zinnia, he just let it slide.
This time, when Yannis closed his eyes, there were no more flashes of those bloody memories. Instead, his mind was filled with Zinnia’s beautiful, crystal–clear eyes and the gentle sound of her voice softly praising him.
Yannis thought, ‘It seems she does have a thing for my face. Hasn’t she eaten enough? Now she’s practically drooling over me.‘ Remembering the feel of her warm, gentle breath on his skin, he chuckled softly.
No sooner had Zinnia arrived at school than she heard Ethan say, “Hey, have you heard? Anne is transferring to our class!”
Zinnia chewed on her juice straw and asked, “Why on earth is Anne transferring to our class?”
Ethan shrugged and replied, “Not sure, just heard it from my dad this morning. He’s on the school board. School’s been in session for weeks, so why is Anne transferring to our class now?
“Even if Anne has fallen out with Betty and doesn’t want to see her, she could’ve just had Betty switch classes instead. Why would she choose to come to ours? It just doesn’t make sense.”
“When is she transferring?” Lydia asked, handing the opened strawberry tart to Zinnia.

Ethan replied, “Not sure, but definitely by next week at the latest. After all, she’s a senior, she can’t stay in the hospital recovering forever u
