"I-I want to drink lemonade."

The soft voice was almost inaudible, but Ye Fan heard it clearly in his ears. A light spot appeared in the black pupil. In the blink of an eye, the light spot spread to the entire eye socket.

"good."

A simple word, filled with a hint of joy.

"…Thanks."

Ning Xi lowered her head and took small steps, the temperature on her pretty face rising rapidly.

I just wanted to drink lemonade and had absolutely no other intentions.

Well, absolutely not!!!

Following the girl, Ye Fan walked very slowly. With every step he took, the affection in his eyes became stronger. When he approached the exit, the affection in his eyes almost became substance.

No more hiding.

He is very happy!

Although no one shared it, it did not affect his happiness.

Looking at the beautiful figure in front of him, Ye Fan took a deep breath, returned to his usual smiling appearance, and followed up.

The two walked out of the alley side by side.

Ning Xi nodded to Zhuang Li, the driver, and pointed to the entrance of the community not far away, lowering her head slightly with guilt.

"Let's go."

Ye Fan put his hands on Ning Xi's shoulders, forced her to turn around, and pushed her towards the community.

This scene made Zhuang Li's eyelids jump.

Can you beat someone up?!

But after his eyes fell on Ning Xi, his eyes were full of helplessness, and Ning Xi had no intention of refusing.

What is this thing called?!

Miss, where is your coolness? Where is your defensiveness?

"well!"

Zhuang Li sighed and started the car.

The heat coming from her shoulders, which the fabric of her clothes could not block, made Ning Xi's cheeks slightly red. She instinctively wanted to avoid it, but before she could act, another voice appeared in her heart.

"You are good friends, isn't this kind of behavior normal?"

"Besides, you don't hate Mark's behavior!"

The girl quickly shook her head, suppressed the thought, and began to deny the fact crazily.

Bah bah bah!

I hate this behavior!!!

"Then why don't you hide away?" the voice sounded again.

Ning Xi was speechless.

Yes, why don't you avoid it?

Because, because she and Mark are... good friends, that's all!

"Stop being in a daze and go upstairs."

At the top of the stairs, Ye Fan stopped and observed the confusion on the girl's face. The smile in his eyes was very obvious. After hesitating for two breaths, he slowly extended his right hand to the girl.

"Come."

Ning Xi stared at the big hand in front of her in a daze. Her first reaction was to turn her head and look behind her. When she saw that Zhuang Li was not following behind, she breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, she was caught in a battle between heaven and man, and her silver teeth bit her red lips habitually.

Do you want to hold hands again?

This seems wrong, but...

Ye Fan was not in a hurry and patiently waited for Ning Xi's decision.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, a soft little hand appeared in my hand.

His spirit perked up, the corners of his mouth raised vaguely, and he pulled Ning Xi upstairs.

The contact without distance made Ning Xi feel the temperature of Ye Fan's palm more clearly, and she couldn't help but feel confused.

Me, what's wrong with me?

why would……

"squeak--"

Ye Fan led Ning Xi into the living room, pressed her on the sofa, turned and walked to the refrigerator, and took out two glasses of iced lemonade.

This time, he did not sit across from Ning Xi, but chose to sit next to Ning Xi. His nose was filled with the girl's fragrance, and he felt more relaxed than ever.

"Drink."

"…Um."

Ning Xi held the water glass in her two little hands, lowered her head, and drank in small sips. However, the pink color on her cheeks could not dissipate.

"Xiao Xi."

"Um?"

"Have you ever thought about what you will do in the future?"

"I want to draw."

Ning Xi had a trace of distress on her face, "However, my talent in painting is not outstanding. My father wants me to play chess, saying it can cultivate my sentiments and cultivate my ability to meditate."

"What kind of chess are you playing? Chess?"

Ye Fan was very surprised by Ning Xi's answer.

In his last life, he had never heard Ning Xi mention this matter, nor did he know that Ning Xi could play chess.

"Go!"

Ning Xi raised her clear eyes slightly, her cheeks bulging high.

This person is so stupid. What kind of chess can a girl like her play? It must be Go!

Ye Fan was even more surprised and asked: "Can you play Go?"

"uh-huh."

A rare hint of arrogance appeared on Ning Xi's face.

The girl's appearance made Ye Fan very funny. He raised his head and touched her little head, and said warmly: "It doesn't matter if you draw or play Go; as long as you like it."

"Don't worry about other factors, just choose according to your heart."

"you……"

Ning Xi blushed and protested: "You, can you please stop touching my head? This is wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

"..."

Looking at Ye Fan with a smile on his face, Ning Xi's mouth opened slightly, and for a moment she couldn't think of the right words to retort.

Seeing that Ning Xi was silent, Ye Fan continued: "We are good friends. It's no big deal to touch our heads. You can also touch my head."

"Is that so?"

Ning Xi tilted her head, with a hint of suspicion in her expression.

Why is it different from what mom said?

However, there seems to be a little bit of truth...

"Don't be nervous tomorrow, just perform normally."

Ye Fan drank all the lemonade in the cup and whispered: "Those students participating in the competition are not simple people. You only need to perform to your own level to succeed. Do you understand?"

"…oh!"

Faced with Ye Fan's way of chatting, Ning Xi obviously couldn't keep up.

The light of the setting sun was scattered in the living room, and the girl's cute look was fixed in Ye Fan's eyes.

A light flashed in his eyes, the light belonging to Ning Xi.

After a few minutes of silence, Ning Xi gently put down the water glass, stood up and picked up her schoolbag, but before she could get it, someone beat her to it.

Ye Fan hung Ning Xi's schoolbag on his shoulder. He was facing the window, and his facial features were illuminated by the pale golden light of the setting sun.

"I send you."
