Chapter 20 Brother Yu, help me zip up my jacket.

An Shixia could sense that Yan Lingyu was a little nervous, and she laughed through her tears: "Brother Yu, what are you doing~"

When Yan Lingyu saw her smile, he finally felt less nervous.

Just like when I was a kid, a little treat is all it takes to make me forget my troubles. I'm so easy to coax.

"I'm just worried that if you cry your eyes out, you won't look good on stage tomorrow."

Yan Lingyu is hypocritical.

An Shixia's sadness gradually dissipated, and she smiled, "Don't worry, I'll definitely look beautiful tomorrow!"

Yan Lingyu thought to himself, "When has Xia Xia ever not been beautiful? However, she could be even more beautiful."

What are you planning to wear tomorrow?

Yan Lingyu asked softly.

"Well... that white dress, I guess. I feel like it would look pretty much the same no matter what I wear."

An Shixia doesn't care about clothes.

In the past, Yan Lingyu always picked the contestants for her.

"Brother Yu, why don't you choose one for me? Your judgment is definitely sound."

An Shixia looked at Yan Lingyu ingratiatingly, but in reality, she just wanted to spend more time with him.

Yan Lingyu had already prepared the clothes, thinking he wouldn't be able to send them off this time.

But upon hearing An Shixia's words, he felt a surge of joy.

"Blue, you look even more radiant in blue."

Everyone says that shopping can strengthen a relationship, and An Shixia is ready to put that into action.

"But I don't have a blue one... How about you come with me to buy one?"

She shook Yan Lingyu's arm and said in a coquettish tone.

Yan Lingyu's eyes were practically overflowing with laughter as he reached out his other hand and patted An Shixia's head: "I'm going inside to get something, do you want to come with me?"

The dress had long been hanging in Yan Lingyu's wardrobe. Ever since the dress was made, he would imagine An Shixia wearing it every day.

Now we really have a chance to watch it.

An Shixia naturally wouldn't refuse Yan Lingyu's invitation and went inside with him.

Yan Lingyu went to the bedroom, then poured a glass of water in the living room. As if remembering something, she said, "Xiaxia, could you go to the dressing room and get something for me?"

"Okay, what should we get?"

As An Shixia spoke, she stood up and walked towards the dressing room.

"Get me a tie, from the same place as before."

An Shixia knew Yan Lingyu's habits of putting things away very well.

He liked to keep his ties in the last cabinet, arranged neatly, with even the distance between each tie exactly the same.

Every time An Shixia came over, she would make a mess of the ties while looking at them, but Yan Lingyu never got angry.

An Shixia would mess things up once, and he would tidy them up again without showing the slightest impatience.

Sometimes he would accompany An Shixia, just to look at the nice patterns on those ties.

An Shixia opened the door to the walk-in closet and walked towards the last cabinet, which was located at the innermost level and was a compartment.

Upon entering the cubicle, An Shixia paused.

She spotted the blue dress immediately. The fabric had a silky texture, with a layer of white embellishments on the bottom and neckline. When held up to the light, the gemstones embedded in it shone brightly.

So beautiful, An Shixia doesn't know what adjective to use to describe it.

"Is it pretty, Xiaxia?"

Yan Lingyu appeared behind her at some point and asked.

An Shixia nodded blankly: "Beautiful!"

"Shall we give it a try?"

An Shixia finally realized that she had fallen into someone's trap.

"Brother Yu, did you do this on purpose? You deliberately asked me what I was wearing, and then deliberately led me here."

"Yeah, it was intentional. I've wanted to give it to you for a while now. So, do you like it?"

An Shixia suddenly hugged Yan Lingyu tightly, her excitement overflowing: "Brother Yu, you're so wonderful! I love you so much!"

Yan Lingyu reached out to steady her. Hearing her say she liked it, his eyes were deep and eager to see An Shixia in her full dress: "Then go try it on. I'll wait for you outside."

An Shixia nodded, and Yan Lingyu turned and walked out of the fitting room, waiting at the entrance.

The blue dress wasn't long, but it had a zipper, which An Shixia couldn't reach, so she called out to Yan Lingyu helplessly.

"Brother Yu, could you come in and help me? I can't quite reach the zipper at the back."

Yan Lingyu froze, but his hands reacted faster than his brain, opening the door.

The girl was trying hard to pull the zipper on her back, but no matter how hard she tried, she could only pull it halfway up, revealing her fair back.

Yan Lingyu's eyes changed, and he stared intently at her.

An Shixia was still struggling with the zipper and didn't notice Yan Lingyu's appearance, but she knew that Yan Lingyu had come in.

"Please help me pull it up."

Yan Lingyu slowly walked forward, his gaze almost imperceptibly falling on her neck, and following her neck, he could faintly see the scenery in front of her.

Yan Lingyu forced himself to look away, but he couldn't help but steal a few glances. His eyes held a burning desire, and he made no attempt to hide his intense lust.

He blinked, his fingers gently landing on the zipper. His cool fingertips touched An Shixia's skin, causing her to shiver.

Xiaxia, you're so sensitive, he hasn't even touched you yet.

Seeing that he hadn't moved, An Shixia asked again, "Are you done pulling?"

Yan Lingyu withdrew his gaze, and the desire in his eyes was gradually replaced by reason.

The zipper was slowly pulled up, and An Shixia straightened her clothes, smiling brightly: "Brother Yu, does it look good?"

Blue really suits An Shixia; her already fair skin practically glows in Yan Lingyu's eyes.

He regretted it a little; he shouldn't have let Xiaxia dress so nicely.

He didn't want others to see how beautiful Xiaxia was; he wanted to keep her hidden away and admire her beauty himself.

Yan Lingyu stared intently at the girl, noticing her expectant gaze, and nodded gently: "Beautiful!"

An Shixia laughed, and her laughter was so infectious that Yan Lingyu instantly put away his dark thoughts.

Xiaxia naturally lives in the sunshine; he can't confine her. Xiaxia is meant to shine.

"Brother Yu, shall I play the piano for you?"

An Shixia's pleasant voice rang out.

Is that the piece you're playing tomorrow?

"No, it's a piece I wrote especially for Brother Yu~ Wearing the formal attire Brother Yu gave me, of course I have to play the first piece for Brother Yu."

Yan Lingyu smiled and said, "Okay, I'm honored. I'll take a picture later and look at it when I miss you."

"If you miss me, come see me. You don't need to watch the video."

Yan Lingyu's "look" was not just an ordinary look, but this could not be told to An Shixia.

He changed the subject: "Let's go to the music room first."

The music room was on the second floor. Although An Shixia's dress wasn't long, it was fine to walk up a few steps, but it was still a bit of a hassle to go up to the second floor.

Just as she was about to lift her skirt, Yan Lingyu reached out his hand and said, "Your skirt is inconvenient, let me carry you up."

It was the same when she was little. Whenever she didn't want to walk or was tired, Yan Lingyu would either carry her on his back or hold her in his arms.

Back then, there were no romantic feelings involved, but now that she understands her own feelings, An Shixia feels a little shy.

"Xiaxia, do you not want me to hug you?"
