January 1, 3 a.m.
Xu Yuanfei had just taken a shower. At this moment, she was sitting on the sofa with a thin blanket draped over her body. She was watching a certain TV station’s New Year’s Eve gala rerun. Her long hair hung down on both sides. Perhaps because she had just taken a shower, her hair was slightly curled and covered her slightly red face.
Outside the window, the sky was full of snow, and the heating in the room was surging.
Hearing footsteps slowly approaching, her body stiffened slightly, and the blood in her entire body started to heat up.
It was as if the lingering warmth at the corner of her mouth had started burning again.
!!
From the corner of her eye, she saw him approaching. He sat down beside her. The sofa sank, and her heart trembled.
After changing their relationship, neither of them seemed to be used to it.
Just as Xu Yuanfei reached out to pull up the fallen blanket, someone gently held her hand.
Their bodies were close, and their palms were warm.
“Not sleepy yet?” His voice was a little hoarse from the alcohol.
“Yeah,” she murmured in response. Her heart softened a little when he rubbed her hand gently.
“Were you awake that day in your study on the third floor?” Xu Yuanfei was still brooding over this matter and thought that she had done it flawlessly. Little did she know…
“Yeah.”
“Then, why didn’t you say anything and just let me…”
“I was afraid of scaring you away.” Jing Hanchuan rubbed her fingers. “Besides, I was happy deep down.”
Xu Yuanfei hummed in response, not knowing what to say.
“Do you know who I am?” Jing Hanchuan still treated her as an ordinary girl in his heart.
“Who are you?”
“Everyone outside says that I’m notorious for killing people like flies. Aren’t you afraid?”
Xu Yuanfei started to feel guilty and shook her head.
“Are you really not afraid?” Jing Hanchuan saw her lowered head, thought she was shy, and leaned closer.
“I think you’re very good.”
Then she felt a warmth on her forehead.
Her heart was in a mess again.
…
The two of them sat next to each other and chatted until four in the morning before returning to their rooms. They were in the same suite to begin with, and the distance between their rooms was only a few steps away. Jing Hanchuan still insisted on sending her to the door.
“Then, I’ll go back first.”
It seemed that there were times when people in love didn’t want to be separated and just wanted to stick to each other.
Jing Hanchuan didn’t say anything, but his hands suddenly pressed down on her shoulders. He took a step forward, aimed at her lips, and pecked them.
His breathing was heavy as his hot breath whispered into her ear, “Good night.”
When Xu Yuanfei returned to her room, she stared at the wall in a daze. Her mind was full of the few light kisses just now. Even the feeling of his fingers gently brushing against the side of her face seemed to still be in her heart.
Her nerves were trembling.
For the entire night, she felt flustered, surprised, and uneasy.
Xu Yuanfei couldn’t sleep at all.
***
The next day…
Because it was New Year’s Eve last night, everyone slept late. Other than the two elders of the Fu family, who woke up on time, the other juniors slept until almost noon.
Song Fengwan got out of bed and washed up. When she went out, she found that the living room was empty. When she went to the hotel lobby, she saw Fu Chen holding her brother and sitting on a sofa, watching the snow.
There was no snow in Nanjiang in all seasons. Little Mr. Yan was leaning against the window and watching Fu Chen write his name on the glass window seriously. His dark eyes were dazzlingly bright.
As soon as Song Fengwan sat down beside him, she saw Jing Hanchuan and Xu Yuanfei arrive.
The two of them weren’t saying much, and they didn’t even have any physical contact. But everyone sensed something unusual.
Xu Yuanfei looked a little flustered and uneasy. She was a little distracted when she greeted them, and there were obvious red veins and dark circles under her eyes.
On the other hand, Jing Hanchuan was calm and collected, no different from usual.
Xu Yuanfei was also a little depressed about this.
Why was he so calm? The contrast really stood out.
Everyone gathered and went to the restaurant. Then everyone saw Jing Hanchuan holding Xu Yuanfei’s hand very skillfully and calmly…
Yesterday, the two of them were still ambiguous, but today, they were holding hands in public?
Xu Yuanfei was a little embarrassed. She kept her head lowered and let him pull her to sit down.
“Hanchuan.” At this moment, Old Madam Fu walked over with Sun Qionghua following beside her, holding a thermos flask for her.
“Grandma Fu.” Jing Hanchuan immediately stood up, and Xu Yuanfei followed closely behind him.
Actually, according to Jing Hanchuan and Fu Chen’s friendship, the seniority was a little messy. But everyone still followed the usual titles. Otherwise, it would really be a mess.
“This is…” Old Madam Fu narrowed her eyes. She didn’t see her clearly yesterday, so she took the opportunity to take another look today.
Her eyes and facial features were exactly the same as Old Madam Xu’s.
Coupled with the surname Xu, how could there be such a coincidence in this world?
Her smile became deeper and stranger, making Xu Yuanfei’s heart skip a beat.
“This is my girlfriend,” Jing Hanchuan introduced generously.
“Girlfriend…” Old Madam Fu’s smile deepened. “Not bad. She’s very beautiful.”
Sun Qionghua was a little surprised. Wasn’t she the lady boss of the dessert store? How did she become Jing Hanchuan’s girlfriend?
What happened in just one night?
But Xu Yuanfei was frightened by Old Madam Fu’s smile. Her eyes were slightly turbid, but they seemed to be able to see through her. She lowered her head guiltily.
Old Madam Fu smiled. “You’re a good match. When young people are in love, they have to treat each other seriously and get along well.
“Especially you, Hanchuan.”
“Huh?” Jing Hanchuan frowned.
“You can’t abandon her after getting her. Otherwise, her parents won’t let you off. Your life will be in danger.”
Xu Yuanfei’s heart skipped a beat. Her entire heart was in her mouth, and her body froze.
She had only suspected it just now. But now, she was almost certain that Old Madam Fu knew her identity. She was panicked and flustered.
Her tone was half-joking. Moreover, she was just a girl from an ordinary family. If she was abandoned, her parents would definitely be angry. To Jing Hanchuan, there was nothing wrong with her words. He smiled and agreed.
“I know.”
“Bring her home to play when you have time.” With that, Old Madam Fu walked away with a smile.
Only then did Jing Hanchuan turn his head to look at the person beside him. “The two elders of the Fu family don’t put on any airs. They’re completely different from on TV. You don’t have to be so nervous.”
Why is her face pale?
“Okay.” Xu Yuanfei sat down awkwardly, feeling flustered.
Fu Chen’s original schedule was to leave tomorrow, but Xu Yuanfei used the excuse that she had something urgent at home and returned early. Jing Hanchuan naturally left with her.
Originally, there should have been only the two of them, and they could have been intimate for a while on the way. But…
Jing Hanchuan turned his head to look at the person in the back of the car and couldn’t help frowning.
“Achoo—” Duan Linbai wiped his nose. He had a hot water bag in his arms and a box of tissues.
“Damn it. I just came out to play. Do I need to suffer like this? I have a bad cold.” Duan Linbai’s voice was hoarse and very nasally.
Jing Hanchuan looked at him. “After the game ended yesterday, I heard that you and Jiang Ershao played another round. You lost all your clothes and went out naked?”
“Damn it. I won, okay?” Duan Linbai snorted coldly.
“It’s because of Fu Chen’s proposal. When I went out to cheer him on, I was only wearing a singlet. When I came back, I felt a little uncomfortable.
“Do you know that there are many beasts online? When Third Fu proposed last night, someone posted the photos. I was in one of them, and someone circled me alone and said…
“The revelry of a single dog!”
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Xu Yuanfei laughed softly. “By the way, just drop me off at the intersection ahead later. It’s very close to my house. Send Young Master Duan to the hospital.”
“I’ll send you home. It’s cold.” Jing Hanchuan was obsessed with this.
Xu Yuanfei had already rejected him countless times about him sending her home.
“There’s really no need. I can get out for a walk. My legs are numb from sitting for too long.” Xu Yuanfei smiled bitterly.
If he really sent her home, someone would probably die.
Xu Yuanfei’s attitude was very clear. At this moment, Duan Linbai was still sitting in the car, so he couldn’t force her too much. He dropped her off at the intersection.
Duan Linbai held back his laughter. “Liuliu, haven’t you two confirmed your relationship? What’s the matter? Aren’t you going to send her home?
“Haha, I’m dying of laughter. Are you sure you two are dating? Don’t tell me it’s one-sided.
“Or is it…
“She thinks you’re unpresentable and shameful?”
Screech! He slammed on the brakes.
Duan Linbai was caught off guard, and his entire face hit the back of the driver’s seat. He was so dizzy that he saw stars.
“Are you trying to disfigure me? Fortunately, my nose is real. Otherwise, it would have collapsed.”
Jing Hanchuan snorted coldly. “It’s not disfigurement. I want to kill you.”
Duan Linbai felt cold. Our brotherhood is fake.
