Chapter 318 Does this skirt look good?
The scorching sun blazed, the air was dry and hot, and the weather outside was like a steamer.
As soon as the two returned home, they were handed a glass of iced watermelon juice by Ye Xian. The cool and sweet watermelon juice dispelled the summer heat on their bodies.
Ning Xi collapsed onto the living room sofa, took a big gulp of watermelon juice, and couldn't help but stretch lazily, perfectly showcasing her graceful curves.
Ye Fan glanced at her, then quickly withdrew his gaze, silently chanting in his heart, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form…"
At that moment, Ye Xian came from the kitchen into the living room with a beaming smile and said, "I thought you two wouldn't come back for lunch today, so I didn't really prepare much. But don't worry, take a rest first—lunch will be ready soon."
"Auntie, is there anything I can help with?"
Seeing Ye Xian, the casualness on Ning Xi instantly vanished. She immediately stood up and said, "I can help pick and wash vegetables."
Hearing this, Ye Xian put on a stern face and pretended to be displeased, saying, "Xiao Xi, how could Auntie let you do chores? If there's work to be done, it should be Xiao Fan doing it. You just rest well."
Ning Xi's red lips slightly parted, but she didn't know what to say.
Ye Xian was so enthusiastic toward her, so enthusiastic that it made her feel at a loss, a little uncomfortable all over.
Ye Fan noticed the girl's unease and quickly changed the subject: "Mom, check the bag and see if there's anything you like. If you do, just take it."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xian looked at the large woven bag beside her son, surprised: "Weren't these things bought for Xiao Xi?"
"No."
Ye Fan explained, "This morning I took Xiao Xi to Baihua Park. These are all prizes we won. Xiao Xi doesn't lack anything, so all these are for you."
"Oh?"
Ye Xian's face was full of surprise. She opened the woven bag and, upon seeing the contents, the corners of her mouth twitched: "You brat, went out to stock up?"
The corners of Ning Xi's lips lifted in a smile.
That line... sounded familiar somehow…
...
Over the next few days, Ye Fan took Ning Xi around all the tourist spots big and small in Linhai, as well as some places he personally thought were fun.
The two would head out in the morning and return close to nightfall, maintaining this rhythm for seven or eight days, until the day the college entrance exam results were released.
7:00 AM.
Ye Fan was awakened by a knock at the door. He had stayed too long on the rooftop with Ning Xi the night before, greatly reducing his sleep time, and now his head was groggy.
Knock knock—
"Brother, are you awake?"
Outside the door, came Ning Xi's sweet and soft voice, like a drizzle entering Ye Fan's heart. The drowsiness in his mind vanished instantly, and his eyes became clear.
"Wait a second."
Ye Fan quickly got dressed. He didn't even have time to wash his face before going to open the door.
The moment the door opened, Ye Fan couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Outside the door, Ning Xi was wearing a white dress that hugged her graceful, curvy figure perfectly. She looked like a snow lotus emerging from water, exuding a holy beauty. Her slightly damp bangs clung to her cheeks, her makeup-free face was exquisitely beautiful, and she was breathtakingly stunning.
Looking further down, a pair of slender, jade-like legs were exposed to the air. Her petite frame was full of elegance and vitality.
Ye Fan's eyes went blank—he was just short of drooling.
To see such a beautiful sight right after waking up… was a bit too much happiness!
Ning Xi met Ye Fan's burning gaze, her eyes dodging slightly to the side, and she pouted, "We're together every day, yet you still look at me like that?"
Embarrassment flashed across Ye Fan's face. He bit the tip of his tongue and let out a deep breath, smiling wryly: "Xiao Xi, you can't blame me for that. Who told you to be so beautiful?"
Ning Xi's eyes curved, her jade-like hand lifting her skirt slightly as she twirled in front of Ye Fan. A faint, hidden smile flickered in her eyes as she softly asked, "Does this dress look good?"
Ye Fan's breathing paused. He quickly pressed down on the girl's fragrant shoulder, a strange expression on his face, "Xiao Xi, don't do that."
Ning Xi pretended not to understand, her pure eyes blinking, "What's wrong?"
Ye Fan: "..."
Alright, he had impure thoughts!
Damn it—
As the girl grew, her charm increased by the day. In just three months, her allure had reached a brand new level compared to when Ye Fan first met her.
For Ye Fan, it was both painful and joyful.
Seeing such a beautiful girl every day was indeed a feast for the eyes, but this flower couldn't be picked just yet… he could only look.
Cough cough—
"Xiao Xi, you're up so early today. The exam results won't be out until ten. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Ye Fan subtly changed the topic.
Ning Xi clasped her small hands behind her back and stepped lightly into the room, saying, "Of course I'm in a hurry. Three years of hard work is about to pay off—aren't you excited?"
Ye Fan scratched his head and didn't respond.
Actually, he really wasn't that excited. As long as his essay wasn't docked points, his college entrance exam score would definitely be perfect.
He was absolutely confident in that.
"Sit for a bit, I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth."
"Okay, go ahead."
After Ye Fan left the room, Ning Xi's eyes sparkled with mischief. She came to the bed and lay down on it as if drawn by some force, frowning slightly: "So hard… do all boys like to sleep on such hard beds?"
After lying down for a while, she noticed a photo album on the top of a shelf in the corner. Her eyes lit up.
While Ye Fan wasn't back yet, Ning Xi quickly got up and closed the bedroom door, then walked to the shelf. But an awkward moment followed.
The photo album was placed on the topmost shelf, and she simply couldn't reach it with her height.
Ning Xi tiptoed and stretched her right arm high, trying her best to reach the album, but no matter how much she tiptoed, she could only barely touch it at best.
She grew anxious and gave a strong jump. Finally, she managed to grab the photo album, but before she could celebrate, she landed awkwardly, didn't balance her left foot, and her delicate body staggered and fell directly to the floor.
The intense pain instantly drained the color from her face. Her lips trembled, and she nearly burst into tears in grievance.
So painful…
Ye Fan, after finishing his wash-up, returned to the bedroom. He paused when he saw the door was closed but didn't think much of it. He turned the knob and walked in.
The next second, he saw Ning Xi crouched on the ground, and his heart immediately panicked. "Xiao Xi, what happened?"
The moment she saw Ye Fan, Ning Xi couldn't hold back anymore. Tears rolled down as she said, "Brother, my hand really hurts."
Ye Fan, flustered, hurried to check the girl's hand. He noticed the photo album on the floor and instantly understood everything. While feeling distressed, he also found it a bit funny.
Had to act tough, huh? Now you've learned your lesson?
Silly girl!
After checking, Ye Fan didn't find any visible injury and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He gently massaged the girl's small hand and softly comforted her, "It's okay now, don't cry."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile wryly, "Xiao Xi, next time you want something, let me get it for you, okay?"
Ning Xi scrunched her dainty nose, her pretty face rubbing lightly against Ye Fan's chest. After drying her tears, she muttered, "Being tall is so great, huh? Want me to jump up and hit your knee?!"
