The last sentence from Zhen Yu was too suggestive, making Han Mingyue blush in an instant! So he hastened to hiss a warning, "Zhen Yu!"
Even he could feel the stark contrast between the coolness of the door panel and the heat on his face! A restless urge inside him seemed suddenly ready to rear its head...
Suddenly called by her full name, Zhen Yu pouted, "What?"
Han Mingyue warned vaguely: "...Don’t test my limits!!"
"Hey, look at my short temper!"
He shouldn’t have said that because, for Zhen Yu, her behavior was mostly just for fun. Her true thought was ’if he doesn’t let me see, then so be it.’
Yet now, her stubbornness suddenly spiked at the mention of ’limits’!
"Who exactly is feverish, you or me?" Zhen Yu asked rather rhetorically, "Just lifting the shirt for a peek at the abs is your limit? In the summer, the streets are full of shirtless men, all bare-chested and bellies out, are they all challenging your limits? Who do you think you are? On some sort of ultimate challenge?!"
After asking that, Zhen Yu couldn’t keep her laughter in and let out a "hehehe."
Han Mingyue had the truth but couldn’t voice it out! The frustration in his heart, let’s not even mention it! Plus Zhen Yu’s continuous laughter ringing in his ears, it made him freeze on the spot.
In the end, he had to argue poorly: "...People are different!"
Zhen Yu mockingly pressed on Han Mingyue, her tone teasing, "Fine! I’ll consider you different from them! But so what? When you were little, I definitely saw your belly! What’s wrong with seeing it again? Don’t talk about your limits, it’s not even your bottom, cough! Cough cough cough..." Zhen Yu managed to stop herself in time, but still embarrassingly coughed several times!
Guessing what she was about to say, Han Mingyue forcefully closed his eyes! On the outside, he seemed unfazed. But actually, he was mentally preparing to be embarrassed...
"I’m not an X-ray machine! My eyes aren’t laser scanners! A glance won’t make you lose a chunk of flesh! So are you going to let me see or not?!"
Seeing her talk so much without his response, Zhen Yu eventually issued an ultimatum!
"If you don’t speak, I’ll force you..."
This stubborn and tsundere Zhen Yu, Han Mingyue hadn’t seen for a long time.
He seemed to see the little girl again who stubbornly waited for Mrs. Zhen to return home by squatting at the doorstep! Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveIꜰire.net
Even if it was completely dark, even if she was shivering with fear, she still refused to step inside the house! She would keep saying one thing: she must wait for her mother until she returns! Even Zhen Yan couldn’t do anything about her.
In the end... didn’t he just have to silently wait with her...
So this time, Han Mingyue could only take a deep breath! He asked her with a complex tone, "...Must you see it?"
Hearing the shift in Han Mingyue’s tone, Zhen Yu immediately firmed up her stance!
"Then, let go of me first."
Zhen Yu huffed proudly and let go of Han Mingyue.
"It was you who insisted!" Han Mingyue said, quickly turning around and with his back against the door panel, he yanked up the hem of his shirt!
"It’s not that I insisted on looking... What’s with that..." Zhen Yu’s words got stuck halfway, and although she forced herself to finish, she quickly turned red and closed her eyes!
Right before she closed them, a flicker of annoyance passed through her eyes. She kept muttering to herself, "He, he, he... This is just too unexpected! Who would have thought he would actually..."
In a split second, the world seemed to turn upside down! While Han Mingyue was intently watching her reaction, he took advantage of the moment she closed her eyes, grabbed her shoulders, and spun her around 180 degrees! Then, they found themselves in reversed positions.
"Have you seen enough?!"
The voice of Han Mingyue was deep and husky, a sensation entirely different from the usual conversations with him, especially now that she was listening with closed eyes, feeling her hair stand on end.
Zhen Yu, even redder than Han Mingyue, opened her eyes and let out a sound as small as a mosquito’s buzz.
It was the first time Han Mingyue discovered she could be so timid and nervous, which suddenly made him a lot bolder! Although his face was beet-red too, he licked his lips and teased her again. "Do you...still want to look?"
Zhen Yu shook her head decisively and quickly!
"Heh... you wanted to look, and now you don’t. It’s always you." Han Mingyue gently pressed his lips to Zhen Yu’s ear and whispered, "Xiao Yu, do you really think I’m that easy to bully?!"
The warm breath he exhaled blew right into her ear, tickling her so much that she shivered and hurriedly turned to look at Han Mingyue!
The words Zhen Yu wanted to say died in her womb, because Han Mingyue had lain in wait like a hunter...
After Han Mingyue left the bedroom, Zhen Yu suddenly squatted behind the door, lost in thought.
Although they had revealed their feelings to each other a long time ago, they had never done anything out of line before, at most holding hands or occasionally embracing.
However, today he suddenly kissed her! Even though it was just a light touch, the implications were different. Could it be a signal from him?
The thought that Han Mingyue might do the same in the future immediately made Zhen Yu feel as if it was happening a bit too soon... And the thought of ’too soon’ reminded her that Han Mingyue would be of age by this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival.
"He’s going to be eighteen soon!" Zhen Yu muttered to herself in astonishment, "Time really does fly!"
In the blink of an eye, she had been reborn for nearly four years! And Han Mingyue had transformed from the beautiful young boy he was into the calm and restrained young man he is today. Truly standing as graceful as orchids, his smile bright as the moon in one’s embrace...
In this moment, Zhen Yu suddenly came to a clear realization that the past was all history. Like the clouds above and the rain below, some unreachable, some turned into dust...
"Xiao Yu? Xiao Yu, why are you squatting here?" Han Mingyue asked in surprise when he found her behind the door.
Hearing his voice, Zhen Yu’s vacant gaze started to focus, "Ah? It’s nothing, let’s get on with our calligraphy practice!"
Han Mingyue extended his right hand and Zhen Yu naturally placed her hand on his, but as soon as she stood up, she twisted her face in pain and inhaled sharply, "Hiss! My foot’s gone numb..."
Han Mingyue didn’t say a word and lifted her horizontally right away, took a few steps to the bed, and sat her down on the edge.
People with six-pack abs really are something else...
