Chapter 367 Important Day
"Oppose."
Ye Fan smiled faintly, lightly spoke: "Just stay this close to you."
Saying and saying, he even started using his hands. His right hand, incomparably bold, wrapped around Ning Xi's slender waist. The soft, water-like touch made him somewhat reluctant to let go.
Ning Xi's delicate body stiffened. The next second, she stomped her foot angrily, the shyness in her autumn eyes like a stream, as if it would flow out at any moment. Her soft, sweet voice rarely carried a trace of suppression.
"Ye Fan, you, you… let go!"
Noticing the shyness in the girl's eyes, the corners of Ye Fan's mouth gradually lifted, the depths of his eyes occupied by boundless amusement. He said in all seriousness: "Want me to let go, that's fine too, but you have to give me a reason, right?"
Ning Xi: "…"
Reason?
This…
Exceedingly shameless!
"You, don't push your luck …"
Ning Xi lowered her head to look at the misbehaving large hand on her waist, raised her hand and patted it, her delicate head slightly drooped, warned softly: "What did I tell you that day in the basement? You… are just doing it on purpose!"
"Basement?"
Ye Fan pretended to be confused, "Getting old, memory is getting worse and worse. Xiao Xi, which day are you talking about?"
Ning Xi bit her red lip with her pearly teeth. She knew clearly in her heart that Ye Fan was deliberately teasing her. Meeting his gaze full of amusement, for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Seeing the girl's gaze was incomparably resentful, Ye Fan knew when to stop. Reluctantly, he withdrew the hand placed on the girl's waist, coughed once: "Xiao Xi, don't look at me like that. Although I know I'm very handsome, you also need to control yourself, understand?"
"You… shameless!"
Ning Xi couldn't hold back anymore, glared at Ye Fan indignantly and shyly, turned and walked away in a huff .
Ye Fan laughed heartily. His happiest thing now was teasing this girl every day. Towards the girl's shy and adorable appearance, he was addicted as if he had tasted bone marrow ( acquired a taste for something and become addicted).
Outside the villa.
Zhuang Li, sitting in the driver's seat waiting, saw Ning Xi come out with a red face, seemed to understand something in his heart, chuckled secretly: "This kid…唉 (ài - sigh), youth is just so good!"
Getting out of the car, Zhuang Li walked towards Ning Xi, knowingly asked: "Miss, why did you come out? Where's Ye Fan?"
"Don't know."
Ning Xi huffed lightly, directly sat in the back row, giving Zhuang Li no chance to ask again.
Just then, Ye Fan slowly walked out of the villa, the main gate slowly closing. He nodded towards Zhuang Li with a face full of smiles, "Uncle, made you wait long."
Zhuang Li glanced sideways at Ye Fan, said suggestively: "Waiting is as it should be, but some people take this opportunity to bully Miss. This kind of behavior is extremely shameful. Ye Fan, what do you say?"
"Cough cough——"
Ye Fan gave a dry laugh, puzzled, said: "Uncle, what are you talking about? With me protecting Xiao Xi, no one can bully her!"
Zhuang Li chuckled, didn't bother with Ye Fan anymore, turned and got into the car.
Along the way, Ning Xi hugged her arms, her eyes staring out the car window. From beginning to end, she didn't say a single word to Ye Fan.
But little did she know, how adorable her appearance like this was in Ye Fan's eyes. As they approached the city area, Ye Fan proactively held Ning Xi's left hand, leaned close to her ear, said gently: "Xiao Xi, don't be angry anymore, okay?"
"Who… is angry?"
Ning Xi tried to pull her hand away, but didn't succeed, hummed twice.
Ye Fan smiled slightly, said: "Starting tomorrow, you won't be able to see me anymore."
The equipment for researching superconductivity still needed time, but he planned to move in tomorrow, first sort out some concepts and thoughts clearly, which would be beneficial for subsequent research.
"Ah?"
Hearing this, Ning Xi could no longer care about the temper in her heart, her eyes showed astonishment, "Tomorrow? So soon?"
"Yes."
Ye Fan nodded, patiently explained: "When I get back, I'll sort out the list of research instruments and give it to our dad. It might still take a few days before research can formally begin, but I can first sort out some previously unclear points, need a quiet environment."
Hearing the term 'our dad' , Ning Xi's pretty face reddened. Seeing Ye Fan's serious look, she didn't say anything.
Instead, Zhuang Li, who was driving, his expression instantly became extremely brilliant upon hearing it.
Turns out, people can be this shameless?
Clearly, nothing is settled yet, and he's already calling him dad?
"Gege, home is also very quiet."
Ning Xi's fair little face carried a trace of reluctance, "What, are you implying I'm noisy? At worst, I just won't disturb you in the future, alright?"
Hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, lightly flicked Ning Xi's forehead, "What are you thinking? I wish you'd come find me every day. Alright, cheer up a bit."
Ning Xi's red lips slightly parted, slowly lowered her head, said inaudibly low: "Can't you just wait a few more days?"
"Hmm?"
A bright light flashed in Ye Fan's eyes, he tentatively inquired: "Xiao Xi, is there something wrong?"
"Not anything very important."
Ning Xi's demeanor carried a trace of bashfulness, asked: "What's the date today?"
"July 16th."
Ye Fan said today's date without even thinking. Suddenly, his mind exploded.
July 16th?
At this moment, he finally understood what Ning Xi was about to say.
Ning Xi's birthday is July 18th, meaning, the day after tomorrow is Ning Xi's eighteenth coming-of-age ceremony.
Such an important matter, he actually forgot?
For a moment, Ye Fan's heart was full of guilt, deep affection surged in his eyes. He caught the girl's other small hand, held it in his palm, his face showing utter apology, "Xiao Xi, I'm sorry, I've been thinking about superconductivity recently, actually forgot such an important day as your birthday, really deserve to die!"
"Don't, don't talk nonsense."
Ning Xi put on a straight little face, said: "It's just a birthday, not that important. What deserve to die? If you say that again, believe it or not… I won't talk to you for a week?!"
"Oh?"
Ye Fan's thin lips pursed, asked with a squinting smile: "Xiao Xi, why is it a week?"
"Because…"
Ning Xi glanced forward, then her gaze landed on Ye Fan's face. Although there was shyness in her eyes, it carried a rare firmness. She whispered softly: "Because if it's any longer, I won't be able to control myself. Satisfied?"
"Satisfied, quite satisfied!"
Joy flashed across Ye Fan's eyes. This was the first time Ning Xi had expressed her attitude so directly. For a moment, he was both surprised and delighted, couldn't help but move closer to the girl's exquisite cheek. But before he could make his next move, a pair of small hands appeared on his chest.
Ning Xi pressed against Ye Fan's chest, frantically lowered her head, "What are you doing? Uncle Zhuang is still here. If you dare to misbehave again, I'll really get angry!"
Ye Fan continued to tease the girl, "It's fine, anyway even if you get angry, you'll only be angry for a week."
Ning Xi's red lips slightly parted, speechless.
She regretted it!
Shouldn't have said those words just now, otherwise, this bad guy absolutely wouldn't dare to be so audacious.
Unfortunately, there's no regret medicine in the world...
