Chapter 311: Elves Under the Night Sky
The evening lineup was even grander.
Ye Xian and Luo Shan made a total of twenty dishes, filling the dining table to the brim.
Upon learning about Ye Fan and Ning Xi's outstanding performance in the three mock exams, the two were genuinely delighted from the bottom of their hearts.
During the meal, Ye Xian took over Ye Fan's role and kept feeding Ning Xi. Judging by her determination, it seemed like she wouldn't rest until every dish on the table was finished.
Ning Xi, unable to refuse Ye Xian's enthusiasm, felt too embarrassed to decline. For the first time ever, she ate two bowls. In the end, when she really couldn't eat anymore, she pitifully looked at Ye Fan for help.
Ye Fan quickly persuaded, "Mom, Xiao Xi doesn't have a big appetite to begin with. Don't keep giving her food. What if she gets too full?"
After speaking, he snatched the chopsticks from Ning Xi's hand, "Stop eating. You have to learn to say no, okay?"
"…Oh."
Ning Xi glanced at Ye Xian shyly, nodded softly, and rubbed her little belly with her small hand.
It's over!
Tonight, she was definitely going to be too full to fall asleep!
Ye Xian, still not giving up, said, "That's nothing! Our bowls are so small, just two bowls…"
"Mom, Xiao Xi and I are both full. I'll take her to the rooftop to see the night view. You and Uncle take your time eating."
After saying that, Ye Fan dragged Ning Xi away and headed upstairs.
Once the two of them went upstairs, Ye Xian complained with dissatisfaction, "This little Fan, can't he see how skinny his future wife is? Of course she needs to eat more."
Cough—
Luo Shan nearly spat out his food. After swallowing with difficulty, he reminded her in a low voice, "Wife, um… these two kids haven't confirmed their relationship yet. Isn't 'future wife' a bit too early?"
Ye Xian narrowed her eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face, "Too early?"
Luo Shan's back tensed, and he shook his head like a rattle drum, "Not early, not early. I think it's great. These two kids are in sync with each other. Marriage is just a matter of time."
"That's more like it."
Ye Xian's face showed a satisfied smile.
Luo Shan smiled bitterly in his heart.
Taming a wife is like taming a tiger!
On the rooftop terrace of the villa, there was a large lounge chair.
Ye Fan lay on it, leaving half of the space for Ning Xi. "Xiao Xi, come lie down for a bit. Let's enjoy the night view together."
Ning Xi was tempted, but due to her shyness, she hesitated.
After all, lying on the same chair with Ye Fan was a bit too intimate, even bordering on ambiguous.
"It's fine. I-I'll just stand."
The dim lighting made it hard for Ye Fan to see the details, but not being able to see didn't mean he didn't know. He patted the empty space next to him, "You'd better lie down obediently, or I'll deduct your lemon water tomorrow."
"How can you do this?"
Ning Xi stomped her foot, but seeing Ye Fan show no sign of backing down, she bit her red lip, hesitated for two seconds, and finally lay obediently next to Ye Fan, her pretty face slightly blushing.
"Raise your head."
"Huh?"
The deep voice by her ear startled the girl, but the next second, she understood.
An arm slid under her neck and rested on her little belly.
The girl was instantly stunned. At this moment, she was practically lying in Ye Fan's arms.
"Gege, don't do this…"
Ye Fan looked at the little kitten in his arms and smiled, "Don't overthink. I'm not going to take advantage of you. Tonight's night sky is really beautiful, perfect for relaxing."
Ning Xi: "…"
She was lying in his arms, and this guy had the nerve to say he wasn't taking advantage?
A man's mouth is nothing but lies!
After a brief moment of embarrassment, Ning Xi had no choice but to accept the situation.
There was no way around it.
She couldn't win in words, couldn't refuse him—she could only go along.
Ning Xi tried hard to relax herself and turned her attention to the sky.
Just as Ye Fan said, the night sky was filled with stars, like a giant chessboard dotted with glittering pieces. The countless stars were like little silver lanterns, and the magnificent Milky Way silently spoke of serenity and mystery.
As she kept watching, the girl became entranced and softly murmured, "So beautiful."
Ye Fan's big hand on her belly gently held her delicate hand and said, "It really is beautiful. But you haven't noticed the more beautiful scenery."
"Huh?"
Ning Xi was puzzled.
When she raised her pretty face and met Ye Fan's burning gaze, she instantly understood. Even the dim light couldn't hide the brilliant cherry red blooming on her face.
"Look… at the stars. Don't look at me."
"Why?"
Ye Fan blurted out, "Because you're prettier than the stars."
"Aiya, I told you to look at the stars, so just look at the stars."
Ning Xi's soft body moved slightly, her pretty face pressed tightly against Ye Fan's chest, her tender voice tinged with a bit of coquettishness.
"As you wish."
Ye Fan smiled broadly, turned his gaze back to the night sky, and feeling the softness in his arms, couldn't help but sigh, "I really want to take you to pick the stars. The most beautiful scenery with the most beautiful person—it'd be beauty upon beauty, even more beautiful."
"Nonsense."
Ning Xi's heart pounded like a deer, her voice soft as a thread, "Even if you give me the stars, I wouldn't be able to carry them."
Ye Fan laughed silently.
He was just speaking metaphorically, but this girl actually took it seriously.
Silly and adorable!
In the following time, neither of them spoke. Under the quiet night sky, in the peaceful atmosphere, there were two hearts that weren't so peaceful.
Who knows how long had passed when Ning Xi suddenly asked, "Gege, people only live for a few decades. Why do so many choose to live such tiring lives?"
"For themselves."
Ye Fan smiled gently, "Having just the right amount of hope for tomorrow, keeping everything you love by your side—that's the meaning of people's efforts."
"Even though it's tiring, they get what they want."
"Oh."
Ning Xi nodded, half understanding, and gently placed her jade hand on Ye Fan's belly. Her pretty face rubbed against his chest, filled with reliance, "Gege, will you… always treat me this well?"
"Mm."
One word was enough to express everything.
Upon hearing this, Ning Xi's lips gently curved up, and she quietly lay in Ye Fan's arms.
Before long, the sound of steady breathing reached Ye Fan's ears. Looking down, the girl had fallen asleep at some point. Her petite body curled up in his arms, her jade hands clutching his clothes tightly, her skin like snow, like a jade doll.
She slept so gracefully, her curves alluring. Her tender red lips slightly curved up, as clear and translucent as crystal.
A spirit of the night sky!
Ye Fan's right hand uncontrollably caressed the girl's cheek.
At that moment, he was completely entranced.
Even though he saw her every day, he still couldn't get enough. No matter how many times he looked at this face, he always liked it, was addicted to it, and yearned for it.
After looking for a long time, Ye Fan's gaze finally settled on the girl's red lips.
Steal a kiss from this little thing?
Once the thought appeared, it became unstoppable.
Just do it… she won't know anyway.
Ye Fan closed his eyes and lowered his head, slowly approaching the girl's tender lips. But just a second before he could touch them, a soft voice rang out.
"Gege, what are you doing?"
