At the time of closing the shop, Nan Feng had shut the door and was about to go to the back room to tally up the day’s accounts when she heard a knock at the back door.
If it was a customer, they would usually knock at the front door. The back door could only mean…
Thinking about how she had run away today, she felt a bit guilty, so she consciously asked towards the back door: “Who is it?”
As expected, it was that deep voice: “It’s me!”
Nan Feng was even more nervous!
She opened the door to find Brother Ye standing outside, his face clouded over, looking as if it was about to rain.
Nan Feng’s first reaction was: He really is mad, what do I do now?
As they say, ’You don’t hit a person who has a smile on his face,’ Nan Feng thus put on an unbothered facade and said with a smile, “You’re here? Would you like to come in and sit for a while?”
Regardless, Brother Ye remained silent, neither stepping inside nor denying the invitation, he simply stood in place, not looking at Nan Feng but staring at a far-off street corner.
He certainly was moody and proud.
Nan Feng immediately backed off, no longer daring to joke around, she muttered, “Brother Ye, let’s go inside and talk, okay?”
Brother Ye still didn’t reply or even move an inch.
Nan Feng realized she couldn’t avoid apologizing today, so she humbly said, “I’m sorry, Brother Ye. I shouldn’t have left without saying goodbye today.”
Only then did Brother Ye turn his gaze towards her, but his face remained expressionless.
Seeing that he was finally looking at her, Nan Feng quickly approached him, taking his arm, “Shall we go inside and talk?”
Of course, Brother Ye wasn’t truly angry. If he were, he wouldn’t have come all this way. Now that Nan Feng was acting all coy and had apologized, he followed her inside. He still didn’t say anything, maintaining a straight posture.
…
The room was a bit dark, so Nan Feng lit a candle, asked Brother Ye to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea. Then, she watched him nervously, like a child who had done something wrong.
Nan Feng apologized again, “You… were taking a bath, and I suddenly realized it was time to open the shop, so I ran… I left.”
“You should have told me,” Brother Ye finally spoke.
“Yes, I’m sorry, the next time I need to run away… no, when I need to leave, I’ll be sure to tell you.”
But Brother Ye still didn’t look pleased, in fact, he looked even more irritated.
Nan Feng couldn’t understand why he was still so angry, she thought, Brother Ye usually isn’t such a petty person.
Only after drinking the cup of tea Nan Feng had poured for him did he finally say seriously, “When you left, you forgot to close the door!”
It seemed like that was the case.
Nan Feng had no choice but to again admit her mistake, “Yes, I ran out so quickly that I forgot, next time I leave, I’ll definitely close the door for you.”
Brother Ye’s face looked even longer, so Nan Feng rushed to pour another cup of tea for him. Brother Ye downed it in one gulp, then finally spoke, “Another person randomly ran in, I thought it was you!”
“What?” Nan Feng shot up from her seat, then, realizing she had lost her composure, sat back down and nervously asked Brother Ye, “Who was it? Male or female? What did you do to that person?”
Ever since they went public with their relationship, Brother Ye is practically walking hormones. He could get in the mood at any time, and if he thought the person who entered was herself, then…
Nan Feng asked again, “Did you… put that person in the bucket and…”
Oh god, the image of water splashing everywhere was too shocking, Nan Feng couldn’t continue.
But Brother Ye pulled Nan Feng over, held her in his lap, still looking unhappy, “Do I look like such a violent person?”
Nan Feng didn’t want to argue with Brother Ye. Right now, this action was pretty aggressive and erotic.
“Who… who was the person who came in later?” she timidly asked.
