At the age of five, Chi Rui went to live with the Ye family and met Ye Minghan, the young master of the Ye family.
The first time they met, the cool young boy coldly said, "Who allowed yo...
The black cabinet has smooth lines and is simple and elegant yet also has a cool and hard feel.
Looking at the tutorial books divided into two piles and placed on top, with the words "Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years of Simulation" printed on them, it seems unharmonious no matter how you look at it.
But when Chi Rui looked at the book, a ripple appeared in his heart.
She reached out, pulled out a book, and opened it carefully.
This book is very new and the pages are quite clean. Only the key knowledge is underlined, and I also picked out some typical examples at the back to do.
These books belong to Brother Ye, right?
She touched the cover of the book, her eyes sparkling and her heart slightly softened.
Did Brother Ye buy it for her?
Chi Rui grinned and carefully put the book back.
Maybe Brother Ye wanted to give her a surprise, so she shouldn't expose it in advance.
Just as she was about to stand up with the mineral water in her hand, the office door creaked open and someone walked in.
"Chi Rui?"
The man's low and slightly cold voice suddenly sounded in the quiet office.
Chi Rui's heart skipped a beat, and he stood up subconsciously -
After a dull "bang" sound, there was the sound of a girl screaming.
Ye Minghan frowned and strode towards the desk following the sound. When he lowered his head, he saw the girl squatting on the ground with her hands covering her head and a frown on her face.
"Brother Han..." Chi Rui covered the back of his head with his hands and called him pitifully.
"What are you doing?"
Ye Minghan reached out and pulled her up, holding her shoulders and letting her sit on the office chair.
"I didn't do anything..." Chi Rui explained, "My bottle of mineral water fell under the table and I wanted to pick it up..."
Ye Minghan saw tears in the corners of her eyes and couldn't help but frowning deeply.
"Does it hurt?" he asked.
"It's okay, it will be fine after a while." Chi Rui wiped his eyes embarrassedly and said in a low voice while enduring the pain.
Ye Minghan's brows did not relax.
He thought about it, turned around, opened the refrigerator, took out an ice pack from the freezer, and gently covered the place where she had just been hit.
Feeling the coolness, Chi Rui squinted his eyes comfortably.
"Are you feeling better?" Ye Minghan asked her softly.
"Yeah, much better."
Chi Rui quickly opened her eyes and nodded with a red face.
"Be careful next time and don't be so reckless all the time." Ye Minghan said in a low voice with a somewhat stern tone.
Having said that, Chi Rui still heard the nervousness in his tone.
She felt a little warm in her heart, so she nodded gently and said obediently: "Okay, I will be careful next time."
Then she raised her head again, grasped the hem of his clothes with her small hands, looked at him pitifully with her beautiful watery eyes, and spoke softly.
"Then Brother Han, please don't be angry, okay?"
Looking at her aggrieved little appearance, how could Ye Minghan still have any temper?
He pursed his lips and looked away uncomfortably, "I'm not angry."
Chi Rui smiled gently.
The laughter was soft, like a feather scratching Ye Minghan's heart, making it itchy and a little numb.
His eyes flickered and he was about to say something, but he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and his heart sank.
He turned his head mechanically, and his eyes moved downward to the cabinet under the desk.
From his angle, he could only vaguely see what was on top of the cabinet, but couldn't see it clearly.
But when he just walked over, Chi Rui was squatting below...
So, she saw everything?
Chi Rui had been observing him secretly. Noticing that he had a strange expression on his face, she followed his gaze and realized what he was looking at.
She blinked, as if she couldn't pretend she didn't see it anymore...
Ye Minghan had a stern face.
"Those tutorial books..." He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to continue.
Hearing him bring it up, Chi Rui slightly curved her lips, looking at him with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, "Brother Han, are you..."
"no."
Before Chi Rui finished speaking, Ye Minghan subconsciously denied it, "I just want to see how much the high school curriculum differs from the university curriculum."
He spoke a little too fast. Chi Rui blinked and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
But on second thought, he thought that maybe he didn't teach her well that day. For Brother Ye, who has always been excellent, this is something that he cares about very much.
"oh……"
She lowered her head, and let go of the little hands that were tugging at the hem of his clothes, her eyes slightly dimmed.
Ye Minghan also realized his own gaffe.
He pursed his lips, glanced at Chi Rui with lowered eyebrows, coughed lightly, and said, "I'll teach you after I finish reading it all."
Chi Rui was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him with some surprise.
"Really?"
The girl's bright eyes were filled with joy, yet also with a hint of uneasiness.
Seeing her so happy, Ye Minghan's mouth curled slightly, nodded slightly, and responded in a low voice: "Yeah."
“That’s great.”
Chi Rui looked at him with a smile, her two dimples were sweet and cute, "Brother Han is so good to me."
Looking at her bright and cheerful smile, Ye Minghan felt relieved and his expression softened a lot.
"Does it still hurt?" He took off the ice pack.
Chi Rui reached out and touched it, and the pain was no longer felt.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." She shook her head obediently.
Ye Minghan stuffed the ice pack back into the refrigerator and bent down to pick up the mineral water under the table.
"I still have a few emails to deal with. Can you do some homework first?"
Chi Rui nodded, "Well, you are busy, I won't bother you."
She quickly stood up to give up her seat and sat down on the chair opposite with her backpack.
Ye Minghan turned on the computer and browsed through it carefully, while Chi Rui also took out the test paper and started doing math problems.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows are towering office buildings.
As night falls and the lights come on, colorful lights light up in the office buildings.
Those gorgeous lights, either combined into advertisements or simply changing effects, add a touch of brilliant and dynamic color to the city night.
But this office on the top floor is very quiet.
The only sounds were the whirring of the exhaust fan, the occasional typing of keyboards, and the rustling of pens across paper.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Minghan pressed the Enter key and finally sent out several important emails.
He breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyes, but paused.
In the huge office, only the desk lamp in front of his desk was on.
Half of the girl's body was hidden in the darkness, her back slightly straightened and her head lowered, revealing a small section of her snow-white swan neck.
She looked at the test paper intently in the light.
The gentle white light shone on her, like the only light in the dark night, illuminating his heart.
Ye Minghan looked at the girl, and his eyes softened.
At this moment, a strand of the girl's hair fell down, but she was concentrating on the calculations and didn't pay attention to it.
Ye Minghan stared at her and stretched out his hand slightly towards her.
Chi Rui wrote down the answer he calculated, then suddenly realized something and looked up.
The man had finished his work at some point and reached out to her. Feeling his sudden approaching breath, Chi Rui's back stiffened slightly.
She looked at him and let his warm fingertips hook the hair that fell on her forehead behind her ears.
His movements were so natural, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Have you finished your homework?"
Ye Minghan sat back with a calm expression, not realizing that there was anything wrong with his intimate behavior just now.
Chi Rui came back to his senses, "Not yet... not yet."
"Well, let's go eat first, and we'll do the rest when we get home."
"Okay, okay."
Chi Rui responded and lowered his head to organize his things, and his movements were obviously a little flustered.
"No rush, take your time."
Ye Minghan raised his eyes to look at her and said with rare consideration.
Chi Rui smiled at him, but as soon as she saw him, the image of him leaning over and gently touching her hair appeared in front of her eyes.
She quickly lowered her eyelashes and felt her face getting hotter.
Finally, after she packed her things, they left the office and took the elevator to the parking lot to pick up the car.
But Ye Minghan was driving her and didn't go home.
"Brother Han, where are we going?" Chi Rui asked.
"Have a meal."
"Aren't you going home to eat?"
"Yeah." Ye Minghan nodded, "Change the taste and eat something different."
Ye Minghan took her to a high-end Western restaurant.
He was obviously a regular here. When the manager on duty saw him, he greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Han, good evening." Seeing Chi Rui, he showed a bit of surprise, and then said with a smile, "Hey, this lovely little sister, is she Mr. Han's guest?"
Chi Rui smiled shyly, and Ye Minghan glanced at him coldly and asked him to lead the way.
The manager didn't care and took them to the location with the best view.
"Then Mr. Han, I have something else to do first, please go ahead."
The manager said this with a smile, and waved for a waiter to come and greet them.
"What do you want to eat?" Ye Minghan looked at the menu and asked Chi Rui.
"They all look delicious. Hmm... let Brother Han have some. You are more familiar with this place."
The little girl behaved in a graceful and confident manner and was not at all reserved.
Ye Minghan nodded, took the menu and ordered a few signature dishes from the waiter.
Chi Rui picked up the soda water and took a sip, then couldn't help but look up at the man opposite her.
The lights in the restaurant were dimmed. The two of them sat face to face by the floor-to-ceiling window under the beautiful night sky. It just felt... so romantic.
She grinned slightly, revealing a shallow dimple on her lips.
Ye Minghan closed the menu and looked up, then he saw the girl smiling sweetly and was stunned.
The strange feeling in my heart spread again.
"Brother Han."
"Um?"
Ye Minghan responded to her, picked up the soda water and took a sip in a disguised manner.
Chi Rui smiled and spoke to him in a low voice.
Although he doesn't talk much and his face has no expression, he is very patient and always looks like he is listening attentively.
Obviously, what they were talking about were just some meaningless topics, but Chi Rui felt very happy.
As long as I'm with Brother Ye, I'm... very happy.
Soon, the steak they ordered arrived.
Chi Rui looked at the steak, feeling a little embarrassed.
Although she likes it, she is still used to using chopsticks.
Just as she gritted her teeth, picked up the knife and fork, and was about to cut it casually, a hand reached out.
Ye Minghan took the plate in front of her and placed his portion in front of her.
I saw that the steak, which was fried to medium-rare, had been cut into small pieces, each piece was just the right size to eat.
Chi Rui blinked and stared at him blankly.
However, Ye Minghan acted very naturally, as if it was not the first time he had done this.
"Eat." He held a knife and fork in his hand and was cutting her portion.
Noticing her gaze, he looked up at her and whispered.
Chi Rui nodded hurriedly.
She picked up the fork, put a piece of steak into her mouth and chewed it gently.
The perfectly fried beef was tender and tasty, and the slightly spicy taste was also very much to her liking.
It’s just… this steak should have been added with honey, otherwise why does she feel it’s so sweet?
Ye Minghan looked at the girl opposite him, slightly curling the corners of his lips. Under the dim light, his eyes were so gentle.
The way he eats is still the same as when he was a child, it hasn't changed at all.
The next day, when Cen Shen arrived at the company, he clearly felt his boss's happy mood.
Although his face was still expressionless, he finally stopped emitting cold air! Just when Cen Shen was secretly rejoicing, Ye Minghan called him into the office again.
Looking at Mr. Xiao Ye's unfathomable icy face, Cen Shen felt a little confused.
Could it be that because he caught him working on "Wu San", the boss finally wanted to settle the score with him?
"Cen Shen."
"exist!"
Ye Minghan looked at him strangely and continued to look at the corner of the office.
"Contact the furniture company. I want to add another table here."
Oh, so that’s how it is.
Cen Shen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out his notebook to write it down.
Then, he heard his boss say in his cold voice: "Tell them to go for a girly style, like... Hello Kitty."
