Chapter 389 Good night, Xiaoxi
Faced with Ye Fan's serious nonsense, Ning Xi burst into a giggle and picked up some food for him.
"Eat."
"Okay."
It had to be said, the process of mutual affection was indeed wonderful.
Just a simple exchange of glances could cause a sweetness to ripple in their hearts.
Ning Xi felt this way, and so did Ye Fan.
Although he had lived two lives due to certain supernatural phenomena, this was his first time falling in love. Regarding this legendary thing called love, he could only explore it quietly on his own.
Of course, the experience of exploring it was extremely pleasant.
After dinner.
The two returned to their respective rooms. After a busy day, Ye Fan was still okay, but Ning Xi was a bit overwhelmed by fatigue. Sleepiness surged over her. She lay on the bed, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, and her eyelids gradually drooped.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, she was startled awake by the howling wind outside the window.
She didn't know why, but Ning Xi suddenly felt a little scared. She remembered the things Ye Fan had said during the day, and suddenly she couldn't sleep.
A hint of bitterness appeared on her bare, makeup-free face. She pulled the blanket over her head, but no matter what, she just couldn't fall asleep. Every time the wind howled outside the window, her nerves tensed up.
"Ah ah ah—"
Ning Xi slapped the bed in frustration, on the verge of tears.
What to do?
She didn't know...
In Ye Fan's bedroom, only a small desk lamp was on. He liked this kind of quiet and dim atmosphere. Such an environment allowed his mind to be extremely focused, and his thoughts flowed more freely than usual.
Knock knock—
At the moment the knocking sounded, a trace of confusion flashed in Ye Fan's eyes.
Strange, wasn't this girl feeling sleepy?
Outside the door, Ning Xi stood in her nightgown, hugging a pillow in front of her. Her fair and slender legs were exposed to the air.
When Ye Fan opened the door, his eyes went a bit dazed.
His gaze gradually moved from the girl's face downward, finally stopping at those jade-like legs resembling those of a manga heroine.
Sensing where Ye Fan's gaze was resting, a blush crept onto Ning Xi's cheeks. Her sweet and soft voice was filled with playful annoyance, "What are you looking at?"
"Beautiful."
"You…"
"Ahem!"
Ye Fan retracted his gaze, held Ning Xi's fragrant shoulder, and pushed her into the bedroom.
Facing Ye Fan's questioning look, Ning Xi pouted in dissatisfaction and complained, "It's all your fault, scaring me like that. I was listening to the wind outside… and I got a bit scared."
"I was just joking, how could you take it seriously?"
Ye Fan spread his hands, the corners of his mouth curled into a bitter smile, "Don't overthink it. Go to sleep, seriously."
"But…"
Ning Xi pouted her red lips high, murmuring in a voice barely audible, "I'm really scared."
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes. The next second, he pressed Ning Xi's shoulders and laid her down on the bed. Before Ning Xi could react, a sound rang in her ears, and a sense of security surged in her heart.
"Then sleep here. Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you."
"Then you… better keep your word."
"Of course!"
"…Mm."
Ye Fan leaned down and kissed Ning Xi's forehead. "Go to sleep quickly, I still have to review some materials."
"Oh."
Ning Xi peeked at Ye Fan returning to the desk. She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt. The night before the college entrance exam, she and Ye Fan had stayed overnight in the same room, but they hadn't slept in the same bed.
But tonight's situation…
So, she had to protect herself well!
After doing all this, Ning Xi stared blankly at the figure not far away. The fear just now had vanished, and her eyelids gradually drooped with drowsiness.
Soon, she was fast asleep.
Time ticked by, minute by minute.
Past 1 a.m., Ye Fan couldn't help but stretch lazily. He turned his head to look—and his eyes instantly became fixed.
He tiptoed to the bedside and lay down slowly. Looking at the sweet girl right next to him, his gaze was unusually clear, without a trace of impurity.
Goodnight, Xiao Xi!
The next day.
Sunlight passed through the window glass, spilling into every corner of the room.
Ning Xi slowly opened her eyes. She wanted to turn over, but her body didn't respond. The confusion in her eyes gradually faded, and then she discovered an extremely shameful situation.
At this moment, she was lying in Ye Fan's arms. That in itself wasn't a big deal.
But the key point was Ye Fan's hand—not only was he holding her, one of his hands had actually landed on that place. Even worse, this guy's hand was still moving!
"Ah—!!"
With a shriek that soared straight into the sky, Ye Fan immediately opened his eyes, just in time to see the murderous glare of the girl in his arms. He was dumbfounded and quickly asked, "Xiao Xi, what's wrong?"
"You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong?"
Ning Xi's face was flushed red, gritting her teeth, "What's your hand doing?"
"Huh?"
Ye Fan looked down, instantly stunned, and even instinctively squeezed, "So soft…"
"I—I'm going to bite you to death!"
"Ah—!!"
Ye Fan's miserable scream rang out through the room—pure and agonizing!
Over half an hour later.
Ye Fan, who had finished making breakfast, stood at Ning Xi's bedroom door and knocked.
"Xiao Xi, come out and eat."
"Not eating!"
Ning Xi's voice came from inside, full of shame and anger.
Ye Fan's face turned bitter. He really hadn't done it on purpose. Even now, his shoulder still ached. That little girl hadn't held back at all with that bite.
He sighed lightly and opened the door to walk in.
Hearing the movement, Ning Xi, who was lying on the bed, immediately sat up. Her little face full of accusation, "Who let you in? Get out!"
"Come eat, be good."
Ye Fan didn't care about Ning Xi's attitude. He came to the bedside, crouched down, held the girl's hands, and gently explained, "Xiao Xi, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean it. It was just an unconscious movement in my sleep."
"But you still…"
Halfway through her sentence, Ning Xi huffed angrily, and the blush that had just faded returned to her cheeks.
Seeing the girl's expression, Ye Fan felt relieved. He knew the girl's anger had already dissipated, just that she was still feeling embarrassed.
Totally normal!
Any girl would react the same way.
"My bad!"
Ye Fan's attitude was extremely sincere. Regardless of whether he did it intentionally, the advantage had already been taken.
Ning Xi snorted softly, "Will you still scare me in the future?"
"Well… do you want the truth or a lie?"
"What truth or lie?"
"A lie: I definitely won't scare you again in the future."
"Then what's the truth?"
"The truth is… I will continue scaring you."
Hearing this, Ning Xi sat up, placed her delicate feet on Ye Fan's shoulder, and spoke angrily, "Why?!"
Ye Fan smiled sincerely and said honestly, "Because I still want to sleep with you."
"Get lost!"
"Xiao Xi."
"What?!"
"There's something… I need to remind you of."
"Say it quickly! Then get out!"
"Well…"
Ye Fan showed rare hesitation, cautiously reminding, "Your current position… is exposing yourself."
"Ah~~~ I'm going to kill you!!!"
