Smelling the faint fragrance on the girl's body, Ye Fan's fingers brushed against the girl's delicate earlobes, his heart trembling fiercely.
In fact, his actions were too impulsive.
Halfway through, he already regretted it.
According to Ning Xi's character, she would most likely refuse, and it might even leave a bad impression on her.
However, this girl didn't refuse...
"Okay."
The deep voice carried a hint of undetectable trembling and excitement.
"Tha-Thank you."
Ning Xi lowered her head, her fair face already flushed red.
"Cough!"
Ye Fan ran to the bathroom, soaked a clean towel in water, came to Ning Xi, and said, "Xiao Xi, wipe your hands. You've worked hard today. The living room, after your renovation, instantly has the visual sense of a ten-million-dollar mansion."
"How... How is it that exaggerated?"
Ning Xi's voice was barely audible, her mind still replaying the scene from earlier, absentmindedly responding.
What was wrong with her?
She seemed to be infatuated...
Ahhhh!!!
Pull yourself together, Ning Xi, you have to pull yourself together, you can't be blinded by infatuation!
Shangqing University! Shangqing University!
Your thoughts cannot slip, no!
Just then, a voice popped into the girl's mind.
"It's just wearing a mask, it's not a big deal, what are you thinking about?"
It seemed... it really wasn't a big deal...
Ning Xi bit her red lips lightly and took the towel, wiping her hands a few times.
"Let's go?"
Ye Fan took a deep breath and boldly stretched out his hand.
"I'll walk you home."
"..."
Ning Xi stared blankly at Ye Fan, like a lost little white rabbit.
What did he mean?
Why did this person stretch out his hand?
Should she refuse or refuse...
Seeing the hesitation in the girl's eyes, Ye Fan's thin lips moved slightly, his gaze deep and mysterious, his voice gentle.
"Xiao Xi, are we considered good friends?"
"...Yes."
"Holding hands between good friends is a very normal thing!"
Ye Fan's voice was full of bewitchment, his face not blushing, his heart not pounding, he said, "Just like you and Yumo, don't you often hold hands normally?"
"But... Yumo is a girl..."
The girl lowered her head and said shyly, "You are a boy, men and women should not touch each other, this is not good..."
"I don't agree with those words."
The corners of Ye Fan's mouth slowly rose, "What era is it now, we are always advocating equality between men and women, boys and girls are the same, you can't look at people with prejudice."
"I-I'm not."
Ning Xi shook her head, her soft voice sounding a little anxious, "I just..."
"Let's go."
Ye Fan's eyes lit up, this girl didn't directly refuse, which meant there was hope.
At this time, he must be more proactive.
"I..."
Looking at Ye Fan's hand, Ning Xi's mind was engaged in a battle between heaven and man.
Mom said that she should not be too close to boys, and should protect herself.
But Ye Fan's words, although strange, also made some sense...
Holding hands between good friends didn't seem too much.
Just this once?
Yes, just this once!
The girl was once again successfully fooled by Ye Fan.
Her pretty face flushed, and she hesitantly stretched out her small hand.
Under the light, her skin color was like congealed jade, crystal clear.
Slender and soft jade fingers, hidden in fragrant silk and emerald sleeves.
Ye Fan was overjoyed and held the small hand.
Soft, slightly cold, he couldn't help but squeeze it, the touch was very comfortable.
"Go... or not?"
The girl's voice brought Ye Fan back to his senses, and he immediately revealed a faint smile.
"Go!"
They went downstairs side by side.
As luck would have it, when they reached the gate of the community, they happened to run into the owner of the seafood stall in the vegetable market. He was riding an electric tricycle with fresh seafood on it.
Seeing Ye Fan walking out of the community holding the hand of a girl wearing a mask, the owner grinned and honked the horn of the tricycle.
"Beep—"
Ye Fan glanced over, and their eyes met in the air.
The owner secretly gave Ye Fan a thumbs up, his lips moving slightly.
"Good job!"
Ye Fan understood the owner's meaning, his eyes filled with smiles, and he responded with lip language, "I had to!"
Ning Xi was completely unaware of the silent communication between the two.
At this moment, she felt the heat of Ye Fan's palm, her head was dizzy, but her heart had an inexplicable sense of security.
This feeling was very comfortable...
"Master, to the main entrance of Haihuang District."
"Okay."
The driver glanced at them through the rearview mirror and started the car.
After driving for a while, he coughed and made a pointed small talk with Ye Fan.
"Little brother, there are many opportunities in a person's life. When you encounter them, you must seize them, seize them firmly! Otherwise, when you regret it, it will be too late."
Ye Fan smiled, secretly glanced at Ning Xi, saw her head lowered, slowly held her left hand, and lazily responded, "Thank you for reminding me, master, I will definitely seize it."
"Yes, young man, you have a bright future. I am optimistic about you."
The driver nodded with satisfaction, putting on a "teachable child" expression.
Ning Xi looked at her hand being held by Ye Fan with a dumbfounded look.
Because she was too nervous, her forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
Why did he still hold her hand in the car...
She raised her head, her clear eyes staring at Ye Fan's side face, with distinct edges and angles, a high nose bridge, handsome and beautiful.
So good-looking...
Aware of the abnormal thoughts in her mind, the girl was ashamed, her thoughts becoming a mess.
Ning Xi... you have fallen!!!
Just like that, in Ning Xi's dazed state, the car stopped at the main entrance of Haihuang District.
Ye Fan paid the fare and pushed Ning Xi's shoulders, sending her into the community. Because she had registered during the day, the security guard did not stop them.
As for Ning Xi, the security guards were even more familiar with her. Although Ning Xi was wearing a mask, they could still recognize her identity.
After all, to be a security guard in such a top-notch community, how could you not have a good eye?
"Okay, I'll take you here, I'm going back."
At the corner of Villa No. 87, Ye Fan stopped and waved lightly at Ning Xi, who was still in a daze, "See you tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Under the setting sun, his figure stretched out.
Ning Xi stared at Ye Fan's back for a long, long time; until Ye Fan disappeared, did she slowly came back to her senses.
"Ah—"
"Ning Xi, are you stupid today?"
She stomped her feet in shame, her fair face on the verge of tears, "You actually held hands with a boy, it's over, it's over!"
No way!
Such a thing must never happen again!!!
Ning Xi glanced in the direction Ye Fan had left and spat lightly.
"Liar!"
She took a deep breath and suppressed the messy thoughts in her heart, taking small steps into the villa.
As soon as she entered the living room, she heard an argument.
"I've already sent someone to look for her, but there's no news yet."
"Wife, I'm not saying you're wrong, but are you really at ease letting Xiao Xi go out alone?"
Ning Xiangtian's eyebrows were filled with anxiety.
It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was about to get dark, but they still hadn't found their daughter. For a while, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
"Are you yelling at me?"
Lan Xi's eyes curved, looking at her husband with grievance.
"Usually, Xiao Xi often goes out to play with her friends, I thought it was fine..."
As she spoke, tears were about to fall.
Ning Xiangtian immediately panicked and quickly apologized, "Wife, how could I yell at you? I'm just anxious, okay, okay, don't cry, be good."
"You yelled at me."
"..."
Ning Xiangtian was helpless, and said with a playful smile, "Wife, I really didn't yell at you, come, come, give me a kiss."
"Cough!"
Ning Xi felt that she had to show up, otherwise, the next scene might be a bit inappropriate for children.
"Xiao Xi?!"
Seeing their daughter standing at the entrance, Ning Xiangtian and Lan Xi were overjoyed.
Then, Lan Xi's face flushed with a faint blush, she couldn't help but pinch Ning Xiangtian's waist, and whispered a complaint, "Didn't I tell you before? Outside the bedroom, be normal!"
"It's okay now, Xiao Xi must have heard it all, if you're not embarrassed, I'm embarrassed."
"..."
An embarrassed look appeared on Ning Xiangtian's face, and he beckoned to Ning Xi.
Ning Xi's eyes flickered, and she obediently walked to the sofa.
"Where did you go today?"
"I went out with my classmates."
"Which classmate? I sent someone to Su Ke and Luo Yumo's house to look for you, why didn't I find you?"
"New friend."
"Who? What's their name? Male or female?"
"..."
Ning Xi's small mouth pouted, her eyes resentful.
"Dad, I'm not a child anymore, can you stop interrogating me like a prisoner?"
As she spoke, her thoughts took a turn, and she said mischievously, "By the way, didn't you want to kiss Mom just now?"
"..."
"..."
"Kiss her, I'll turn my head away!"
"..."
