286 The Red Handprint
When they heard Le Wan’s footsteps, both of them raised their heads at the same time. Second Brother Le waved at Zhai Jing.
“Student Zhai, you came at the right time. How do you collect the last upgrade material for this level of your game? I’ve been looking for it for a long time, but I can’t find it.”
Zhai Jing glanced at Le Wan before he sat down next to Second Brother Le. He looked at the screen and saw that he was playing “Carefree Journey”. He explained,
“There’s a hidden mission in this level. The players must find this hidden mission before they can drop the clues after clearing the level.’
!!
“You look more energetic like this.” Le Wan’s father greeted Le Wan happily. “I don’t think your mother will be so soon. Sit down and wait for a while.”
“Alright,” she said. “I’m a little thirsty,” Le Wan replied obediently. “I’m going to get something to drink.”
She went into the kitchen and saw that the water in the kettle was still hot. She opened the refrigerator and rummaged through it. Finally, she found a packet of yogurt. She took a small bite and put it in her mouth. Then, she walked out of the kitchen.
At this moment, Little Brother Le came downstairs. He saw her and shouted,
“I want to drink yogurt too.”
So, he ran out and took out the yogurt as well. After putting it in his mouth and taking a deep breath, he looked up and saw a red mark the size of a fingernail on the back of Le Wan’s ear. He poked it curiously and asked,
“Sis, did you get bitten by a bug?”
At first, Le Wan didn’t react. She scratched the area and said,
“Really? Where?”
When she touched that area, she then realized what had happened. Her body stiffened. This was the mark left by Zhai Jing when he was aroused last night and couldn’t help but bite it.
As she had been using her hair to cover her face, no one else had noticed it, even Le Wan herself had forgotten about it. Now that Little Brother Le had discovered it and even poked her, Le Wan felt her face heating up.
The main point was that Little Brother Le didn’t hold back his voice at all. Therefore, when he said that, not only did Le Wan hear it, but the three people sitting in the living room also heard it.
Even Le Wan could clearly feel the atmosphere in the living room freeze for a moment. She laughed dryly and said,
“Haha, I was bitten by a bug. You know, in the South, not only are the bugs big, but they’re also especially poisonous. A bite will leave a red mark, and it will take many days for it to recover.”
Zhai Jing pursed his lips and didn’t dare to look back at Le Wan. He knew that she was very embarrassed and angry at this moment. She must have scolded him many times in her heart. At this time, he better not add fuel to the fire.
Second Brother Le glanced at Zhai Jing, who was looking down and pretending to be nonchalant. He said meaningfully,
“It seems that the worm is really big.”
Papa Le stared at his phone the whole time and didn’t say anything.
Le Wan could only pretend that she didn’t hear Second Brother’s teasing. Fortunately, there was a silly little brother at the scene. He frowned and said,
“I don’t think the red mark will heal so quickly. I don’t know if it will leave a scar. I have prepared a bottle of cooling cream. You can apply it. It can stop the itch and quickly reduce the swelling and blood stasis.”
You’re the only one who seems to have no ulterior motives, Le Wan thought to herself.
She stood on her tiptoes and patted Little Brother Le’s head.
“You’re the one who cares about me. You’re my good little brother.”
When Little Brother Le heard her say that, he felt like flowers were floating on his head. He finished the remaining yogurt in one gulp and said,
“Sis, wait a moment. I’ll bring you the ointment now.”
When Zhai Jing heard her say that she loved her brother, he felt that Le Wan was implying something. He turned to look at Le Wan, only to see that she had deliberately turned away and ignored him.
Hence, he knew that Le Wan was angry. She was angry that he had embarrassed her.
When Zhai Jing left the mark, it was a subconscious action when he really couldn’t control his emotions. He admitted that he had indeed forgotten to remind Le Wan and neglected her feelings.
Hence, Zhai Jing put down the game controller and walked to Le Wan’s side. He held her hand and whispered to her,
“Can you accompany me for a walk?”
Le Wan didn’t want to flirt with Zhai Jing in front of her father and Second Brother, so she nodded and allowed him to hold her hand. They walked out of the villa and came to the beach behind the house.
Seeing that she was out of sight of the people in the room, Le Wan wanted to shake off Zhai Jing’s hand. However, Zhai Jing had already anticipated this situation in advance. So, not only did she not succeed in shaking off his hand, but both her hands were caught by him instead.
“What are you doing? Do you still want me to bully you?” Le Wan pouted and said pitifully.
Zhai Jing sighed and lowered his head to rest his forehead on Le Wan’s.
“I’m sorry, Wantian. It’s my fault.”
