"Nianhua, have you finished showering?"
Su Xi had just brought some things inside when she saw Pei Yicheng and Xu Nianhua so close they could kiss!
She instantly turned around and quickly said, "Sorry for interrupting, go ahead."
As soon as she said that, Su Xi swiftly ran out and even thoughtfully closed the door.
"Brother, maybe we should call Nianhua later." Su Xi happened to bump into Su Lie and pulled him out.
"Oh no, oh no!"
Xu Nianhua pushed Pei Yicheng away. Just thinking about the scene, her face blushed even more like the clouds at sunset.
"We are a couple, being close is normal, right?" Pei Yicheng was unbothered; he wanted to announce to the world that Nianhua was his girlfriend.
"I can’t face Xiaoxi now." Xu Nianhua covered her face as she stood up, but she didn’t stand firmly and fell to the side.
"Careful."
Pei Yicheng caught Xu Nianhua by the waist. With a turn, he was lying on the bed, and Xu Nianhua fell on top of him. Pei Yicheng held her waist and whispered in her ear, "She saw us, shouldn’t we do something to make it worthwhile?"
After he spoke, Xu Nianhua felt a warmth on her lips.
...
Xu Nianhua patted her flushed face. Even after washing with cold water several times, she still felt her face was burning!
Pei Yicheng!
Is he like a dog?
Xu Nianhua looked at her noticeably reddened lips in the mirror, wishing she didn’t have to go out today—how was she supposed to face people!
Xu Nianhua felt like crying but had no tears, dawdling for a long time while Su Xi had already urged her for the third time from outside.
"It’s nothing, you’re a couple, I can understand, nothing to be shy about." Su Xi glanced at her cloud-like red face, recalling the scene she had witnessed; it truly made her eyes almost pop out—it was her first time seeing Pei Yicheng look at a girl so tenderly.
She remembered back in high school when someone confessed to Pei Yicheng, he’d directly respond with a cold face. She sometimes wondered if Pei Yicheng could ever smile?
But just then, that gaze, truly unforgettable for Su Xi’s lifetime!
"A hero can’t withstand the charms of a beauty, hardened steel softens around a delicate finger—this saying is absolutely true."
"Auntie and the others are waiting for you; if you don’t go, they’re coming over!" Su Xi dragged the shy Xu Nianhua downstairs to the restaurant.
Faced with Su Xi’s teasing, Xu Nianhua, initially embarrassed, became numb to it over time.
The restaurant was lit not by very bright lights but warm ones, allowing Xu Nianhua to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sis, why is your face so red?" Xu Nian’an looked at Xu Nianhua worriedly, reaching out to feel her forehead.
Xu Nianhua’s face reddened even more—Second brother, can you not bring up what’s sensitive?
"Second brother, I’m just hot!"
Xu Nianhua said, using her hand as a fan, "Maybe the restaurant is warm; I’m just hot."
Xu Nian’an didn’t feel her feverish, so he didn’t think much of it. When he later saw his sister glaring at Pei Yicheng, he seemed to understand something!
...
The next day, Jiang Wanru, exhausted from traveling back and forth, was resting on the bed with Su Jinrong watching over her at the hotel.
Su Xi then accompanied Xu Nianhua to Hai City Publishing House, while Pei Yicheng volunteered to go with them.
Xu Nian’an went to find the boss of Qiquan Electronics for some inventory, while Su Lie’s family of three took Su Hong’en for a stroll to a park near Hai City to help him get accustomed and learn more, beneficial for his condition as well.
