âIâm letting you stay, Iâm scared, let mom see you go out, then she says something, weâre both awkward, Iâm not thinking about what to do with you, Brother Xiaofei, youâre not misunderstanding.â
Ning Xiaoyu quickly realized that she had overreacted and started to explain in a panic.
Ye Xiaofei gently rubbed her hair and said with a smile, â1 know. Itâs getting late. You should sleep early too. Weâll wake up early tomorrow morning.â
âYes, yes!â
Although Ning Xiaoyu was lying beside him, Ye Xiaofei didnât have any evil thoughts. He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
How could Ning Xiaoyu fall asleep?
Although this wasnât the first time, Ye Xiaofei was completely exhausted last time. Sleeping here wasnât his intention at all.
Although her mother was outside this time, at least Ye Xiaofei was awake before he fell asleep.
âWill Brother Xiaofei do something to me?â
âIf he does it, what should I do?â
âShould 1 refuse? I should be reserved and not let Brother Xiaofei mess around, but⦠However, I would be very happy in my heart and would not want to reject him.â
âThen lâ¦Then Iâll give in half-heartedly.â
This kind of messy thought spun in Ning Xiaoyuâs mind countless times, but what she got was not Ye Xiaofeiâs hands and feet, but Ye Xiaofeiâs soft whimpers.
Ning Xiaoyu could not help but heave a sigh of relief. She was thinking too much. Ye Xiaofei had no intention of doing anything to her at all.
But soon, Ning Xiaoyu felt wronged again. Was there anything wrong with her? Why didnât Ye Xiaofei have any feelings for her?
She turned her body slightly, and her eyes, which had already adapted to the darkness, could see Ye Xiaofeiâs side profile.
The room was very quiet. Ning Xiaoyuâs hearing was much better than before. She could hear Ye Xiaofeiâs breathing and heartbeat.
All of this seemed so heartwarming. Ning Xiaoyuâs heart was no longer conflicted. If she could be like this every day for the rest of her life, she would die of happiness.
In the living room.
The television was still playing, but Auntie Ning was leaning on the sofa with her eyes closed. Her ears were trembling slightly, and there was a faint smile on her face. There was a hint of pride in that smile.
The next morning Ye Xiaofei woke up early and saw Ning Xiaoyuâs delicate face.
She leaned sideways against him, one arm wrapped around his chest, and one leg wrapped around his leg, as if she was hugging him like a doll.
At this moment, Ning Xiaoyu was like a cute doll. Ye Xiaofei couldnât bear to wake her up.
Perhaps she felt Ye Xiaofeiâs gaze on her, Ning Xiaoyuâs eyelashes fluttered slightly before she slowly opened her eyes.
Their eyes met, Ye Xiaofei smiled and said, âLittle lazy cat, are you awake?â
âIâm not a lazy cat.â Ning Xiaoyu subconsciously retorted. Then, her face turned red and she stuttered, âI⦠I donât know why, but I hugged you. I didnât do it on purpose.â
âSo what if you want to hug me?â Ye Xiaofeiâs voice became even gentler, âHave you hugged enough? If you have hugged enough, letâs practice.â
âThenâ¦Then I havenât hugged enough. Iâll hug you for a while more.â
Ning Xiaoyu buried her head into Ye Xiaofeiâs shoulder as she spoke, her arms and legs wrapping around Ye Xiaofei tightly.
Ye Xiaofei couldnât help but smile. He didnât expect Ning Xiaoyu to be so bold. However, he had to admit that this feeling was very comfortable.
After a few minutes, Ning Xiaoyu let go of Ye Xiaofei and sat up.
There was a sweet smile on her face. Although she was a little shy, she was more calm and at ease. âBrother Xiaofei, letâs begin.â
âAlright.â Ye Xiaofei agreed and got up to practice with Ning Xiaoyu again.
He didnât know why, but when Ye Xiaofei and Ning Xiaoyu had physical contact again today, he felt especially calm.
Ning Xiaoyu, on the other hand, was less shy and more natural.
Even if it was because of the problem with the acupuncture points, the places that Ye Xiaofei touched were a little sensitive. Ning Xiaoyu could still meet Ye Xiaofeiâs gaze.
When Ye Xiaofei and Ning Xiaoyu came out of the room, Auntie Ning had already prepared breakfast.
âCome and eat.â
Auntie Ning called the two of them over and looked at them with a smile.
Ning Xiaoyu lowered her head, not daring to meet her motherâs gaze.
Ye Xiaofei was also quite embarrassed. When his eyes met Auntie Ningâs, he felt like he had done something bad and was caught by Aunt Ning.
Seeing that Auntie Ningâs eyes were bloodshot, Ye Xiaofei said, âAuntie, your body has just recovered. Itâs better not to sleep too late at night and rest early.â
âItâs fine. My precious daughter has grown up. I feel a little disappointed in my heart, so how can I sleep? Fortunately, itâs you, Xiaofei. If it were someone else, Iâm afraid I wouldnât be able to sleep for the entire night.â
No matter how thick-skinned Ye Xiaofei was, he couldnât take it anymore. Auntie Ningâs words were a littleâ¦He felt ashamed..
