The Xiao family's room was as big as the Ye family's, over eighty square meters, with two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen.
At that moment, Ye Xiaofei was staring straight at Elder Sister Xiao Ya's boudoir, his eyes radiating an indescribable and strange expression.
Inside the fragrant boudoir, there lay a fair young woman in her early twenties, her long black hair spread out, dressed in a white hollow-out short-sleeve knee-length pleated dress. She was propped up on the bed with her fair feet lifted, holding a magazine and reading it with focused attention.
Her delicate, cone-shaped face bore a faint, sweet smile.
In May, South China was already very hot.
The Xiao family's economic situation was limited; they could afford to buy air conditioning but not the hefty electricity bills, so they had always used an electric fan to keep cool.
At that moment, at the foot of the bed, opposite the girl's fair feet, stood a semi-new desk fan,
whirring away!
Since the electric fan was placed at the foot of the bed blowing towards the head, Xiao Ya, lying on the bed, could enjoy the cool breeze from feet to head.
Perhaps Little Elegant was in a good mood today; while reading the magazine, she also hummed the recent hit by the Chopsticks Brothers, "Little Apple."
The fair feet lifted behind her playfully opened and closed, from time to time wavering back and forth.
As mischievous as a seven- or eight-year-old girl.
Elder Sister Xiao Ya's bed was positioned on the right side of the bedroom, placed towards the inside.
Therefore, the end of the bed that Little Elegant usually slept in faced directly towards the door.
Standing in front of the door, Ye Xiaofei was somewhat dazed by the view.
Xiao Ya's figure was in itself perfect, standing nearly one meter sixty-eight tall, enough to make many girls envious.
The snow-white, slender, tender, and smooth legs were undoubtedly very attractive to Ye Xiaofei, who was in his adolescence, and they made him stare.
Such a stunning scene made the fire of desire within Ye Xiaofei surge wildly, as if he could not wait to erupt like a volcano.
At that moment, Xiao Ya, who was lying on the bed, had no idea that someone was watching her from behind.
Furthermore, given the heat of the weather, Ye Xiaofei, who was parched and tongued-tied, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Who would have thought just at that moment, the red plastic bag holding grapes he was carrying suddenly tore apart.
With a bang!
A large bunch of grapes fell and scattered on the floor, with one or two grapes slipping beneath the bed.
"Crap..."
A startled Ye Xiaofei instantly reacted, looking at the grapes that had fallen onto the floor, he hurriedly bent down, starting to pick up the grapes in a fluster.
The sounds from behind and Ye Xiaofei's exclamation naturally caught Xiao Ya's attention as she lay on the bed.
Subconsciously turning her head, she saw Ye Xiaofei crouching down and picking up grapes, and a sweet smile emerged on her already delicate face.
Then, with eyes that carried a hint of reproach, she said to Ye Xiaofei, "Look at you, all thumbs!"
As she spoke, Xiao Ya had already gotten up from the bed and walked over wearing a pair of white Hello Kitty slippers, squatting down to help Ye Xiaofei pick up the grapes.
Ye Xiaofei, who was already feeling guilty and nervous from spying, saw Xiao Ya coming over, and his eyes flickered with an indescribable tension.
```
In haste, he said, "I should get it, Elder Sister Xiao Ya!"
"Hmm... just these few, almost done picking them up!"
When Xiao Ya placed the grapes she picked up into the plastic bag in Ye Xiaofei's hands, she naturally noticed Ye Xiaofei's face was as red as a monkey's behind.
Seeing this, Xiao Ya couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Xiao Fei, why is your face so red? Did you just come back from outside?"
As soon as Ye Xiaofei heard Xiao Ya asking about his red face, he felt even more guilty. He thought, "I can't possibly tell Elder Sister Xiao Ya that I just saw something I wasn't supposed to, right?"
Therefore, he hurriedly picked up the grapes from the ground, nodding his head with a guilty light "hmm" in response.
As if afraid that Xiao Ya would see his embarrassment, Ye Xiaofei quickly handed the grapes to Xiao Ya.
"Here you go, Elder Sister Xiao Ya, my mom asked me to bring these over for you to eat!"
"Hmm... I think two grapes rolled under your bed just now, I'll go find them, otherwise, they'll rot there in a few days!"
No sooner had Ye Xiaofei spoken than he scrambled on his hands and knees under the bed.
Xiao Ya saw this and quickly instructed, "Be careful, don't bump your head!"
After Ye Xiaofei crawled under the bed, he quickly found the two grapes that had rolled underneath and grabbed them in his hand.
However, just as Ye Xiaofei was about to crawl back out from under the bed, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange blood-red glow from the corner of his eye.
The blood-red light flashed by, and if Ye Xiaofei hadn't been sharp-eyed, he might have missed it.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaofei was naturally full of confusion, "Strange, how could there be something under the bed emitting a red blood light?"
Curious, Ye Xiaofei immediately reached out toward the object emitting the blood-red light.
When Ye Xiaofei grabbed the object radiating the red blood light, a chilling aura flowed up his arm and instantly surged into his body, causing Ye Xiaofei to shiver abruptly.
"Damn... it's so cold!"
"Er... what is this thing, it looks like a grape! Cold and icy, feels like it's made of crystal!"
Regaining his composure, Ye Xiaofei looked at the blood-red sphere he had taken from under the bed, about the size of a purple grape, and muttered in surprise.
After he crawled out from under the bed, Ye Xiaofei looked at Xiao Ya with a puzzled face and asked, "Elder Sister Xiao Ya, is this yours?"
"Huh... this is what you found under the bed just now?"
Looking at the blood-red sphere in Ye Xiaofei's hand, Xiao Ya couldn't help exclaiming in astonishment.
"Yeah... Why, isn't this your thing?"
Seeing Xiao Ya's astonished expression, Ye Xiaofei naturally asked in confusion.
"No, this bead is something I bought for ten yuan from a street vendor when I was visiting Jiuhua Mountain last year. I just didn't know where to put it afterward, and I definitely didn't expect it to have rolled under the bed."
Xiao Ya, holding the grapes, said to Ye Xiaofei, "If you like it, I'll give it to you. I'll go wash the grapes in the kitchen, and we can eat them together in a bit!"
Little Elegant said this, flipping her long black hair, and turned to walk out of the bedroom with the grapes in hand.
Watching Xiao Ya's graceful figure, Ye Xiaofei's mind uncontrollably flashed back to the scene he had dreamed of just moments ago in his sleep.
His heart stirred again.
