Chapter 59 Slippery Skin

"Xie Yue." She lowered her voice, anger in her eyes, "You promised me not to gamble."

Xie Yue was stunned for a moment, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red, but soon his expression turned cold again.

He turned his face away, his voice deliberately distant:

"Are we familiar with each other?"

"It's none of your business to interfere in my affairs."

Of course he remembered what she had said.

But he didn't believe her.

In his eyes, Wen Nianchu was no different from those adults who needed to amuse others when they were bored.

When Xie Yue was a child, no one adopted him in the orphanage because he had a stutter.

Every time someone was attracted by his well-behaved appearance and wanted to take him home, they would hesitate and give up when they found out that he stuttered.

Later, thanks to the director's patient guidance, he was able to speak normally. But by the time he could express himself fluently, he was too old to be adopted. He could only stay in the orphanage and watch his former friends being taken away one by one to start new lives.

Those adults are always like this, giving him hope first and then taking it back at will.

She must be no exception.

"You don't believe me?"

Wen Nianchu opened his eyes wide, feeling that Xie Yue at this moment was not cute or well-behaved at all.

"Sister..." He began, his voice so steady that no emotion could be heard. "I don't know you, I don't know your name, and I have no idea where you came from."

"Why should I believe you?"

After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips and subconsciously took half a step back, his body ready to turn around and leave.

After all, promises are too light.

She could casually say that she would get the money in a week, but she never showed up on her own initiative during this week.

He knew nothing about her.

This complete unknown made him more alert than any known danger.

Wen Nianchu stopped him.

Her little face was tense:

"My name is..."

[Host, please do not mention the name Wen Nianchu, otherwise the author of this book will easily locate you.]

"My name is Shui Xindao, and I'm an orphan like you."

Seeing that the boy still had no expression on his face, she gritted her teeth and dropped a bombshell:

"You have to believe me, because...I'm your future girlfriend."

The air suddenly froze.

Xie Yue slowly raised his eyes, a trace of surprise rarely appeared in his usually cold eyes:

“......?”

silence.

A suffocating silence.

Does she know what she is talking about?

"Future...girlfriend?"

Xie Yue chewed these words over and over again between his lips and teeth, with a clear sense of absurdity in his tone.

But strangely, he didn't just turn around and leave like he usually did.

"right."

Wen Nianchu responded decisively, and suddenly took a step forward, placing his hands on the wall beside Xie Yue, trapping him between himself and the wall.

The boy froze for a moment. He looked up in surprise at the girl who had pressed him against the wall.

The distance is too close.

It was so close that he couldn't help but breathe lighter.

"Evidence?"

Xie Yue's voice stuttered for once, and the tips of his ears were so red they seemed to be dripping with blood.

He subconsciously leaned back, but only touched the cold wall.

Wen Nianchu stared at his dark eyes in a daze.

evidence?

She actually doesn’t understand Xie Yue either?

After all, they are just in a relationship and have just confirmed their relationship. They are not an old married couple who have been married for many years.

Seeing Wen Nianchu lost in thought, Xie Yue's gaze gradually cooled, and his voice was calm:

"You don't understand my lifestyle."

“I don’t know what I like.”

"So," he looked up at her, his dark eyes filled with fatigue that didn't suit his age, "why would my future self choose to be with someone who knew nothing about me?"

Wen Nianchu's head buzzed.

She had to admit, this logic... was impeccable.

But is that...the point?

Under Xie Yue's questioning, Wen Nianchu gritted his teeth and said:

"Of course it's because I'm pretty!"

Otherwise, why did he let her treat him like that at the convenience store, and why did he insist on giving her a piece of chewing gum and forcing her to eat it?

He treated her...

It must have been love at first sight!

Xie Yue frowned, speechless at this narcissistic and somewhat absurd answer.

He reached out, trying to push away the hand that was close to his ear.

However, as soon as he touched her wrist, a strange feeling rushed up like an electric current.

A fire suddenly ignited in his heart without any warning. It was not a scorching flame, but an unfamiliar, numbing heat that instantly spread to every part of his body.

Why... her skin is so smooth?

This thought popped up uncontrollably.

It was a touch he had never experienced before.

exquisite.

Warm and soft.

Could it be that there really are essential differences in the microscopic structure of the skin tissue of girls and boys?

His brain began to uncontrollably retrieve vague biological knowledge, trying to find a scientific and reasonable explanation for this sudden heart palpitations.

"etc……"

Wen Nianchu was afraid that he would leave, so he quickly thought about his understanding of Xie Yue and quickly organized his words:

"You have a regular life and a regular schedule, and you don't like exciting activities."

"I can cook, do housework, bake cakes, feed stray cats, and defuse bombs..."

She paused, raised her chin, and looked very self-important:

"Also... very obedient."

Now, Xie Yue will believe it.

Who else but her can accurately describe so many of this old-fashioned person's preferences?

Xie Yue's ears automatically ignored the three words "very obedient", and there was some surprise in his eyes:

"Can you defuse a bomb?"

How did she know?

The orphanage once suffered retaliation from extremists who were seeking revenge against society.

He happened to receive remote guidance from the police over the phone, temporarily learned the basic operations, and became interested after successfully defusing the bomb.

Afterwards, he studied a large number of donated military books.

While Xie Yue was stunned, Wen Nianchu had already reached out and pinched his cheek:

"Hurry up and believe me! I really am, little Xie Yue."

The young man turned his head, a hint of surprise flashed across his cold eyes, and then he regained his composure.

"You can't do this!"

He wouldn't believe a word the other party said until he was sure of the truth.

Wen Nianchu looked at the pretentious boy with great interest. His ears were already turning red, yet he was forcing himself to remain calm.

"Even my future girlfriend isn't okay?"

She pinched it again deliberately, and felt the warmth of the boy's skin on her fingertips.

Xie Yue is like a cute Capybara, so adorable.

The kind that is emotionally stable and won't bite.

She can only use rigid logic to prove that what she said was a joke.

"You..." Xie Yue sighed helplessly, a rare hint of frustration flashing in his eyes.

No retreat.

He didn't retreat at all.

Surrender. "I'm going to wash my hands," he said calmly.

"Okay, then don't hang out with them anymore. I'll have money after my match the day after tomorrow."

Xie Yue lowered his eyelashes and replied softly:

"Um."

Wen Nianchu:

"Are you free the day after tomorrow? Remember to come and watch my game."

Xie Yue: "I'm free."

The day after tomorrow is the weekend.

Wen Nianchu narrowed his eyes, and seeing that he was so frugal with words again, he had no choice but to threaten directly:

"I haven't missed this stage of your life. So you can't miss my glorious stage of life either."

"If I find out you're not here, I'll give you a good beating when I get back."

Xie Yue: "..."

The boy pursed his lips, his gaze lingering on her serious face for a moment, before finally lowering his head and uttering a muffled "hmm".

He was thinking silently in his mind:

If I have to beat him up, I'll beat him four years later. What does it have to do with him now?

But... he seems to have never studied how to fight with girls.

I will definitely study it carefully when he gets back.
