The plane gradually rose higher.

Chi Rui looked at the man next to him. Although he was wearing a blindfold, he could still clearly feel the tenseness of his muscles.

Chi Rui couldn't help but feel touched when she thought that even though he was afraid of heights, he still took a special plane to S City to find her.

"Brother Han." She called him.

"Um?"

"The plane is flying so high. Looking down from the window, the scenery is so beautiful~"

Hearing the teasing in her tone, Ye Minghan was silent for a moment.

"Oh." He nodded, trying to ignore the feeling of weightlessness brought by the turbulence of the plane. "Then you watch me. I'll take a nap."

He slumped back in the chair, looking calm and composed.

Chi Rui smiled secretly and looked at him blatantly.

The handsome and noble man leaned back on the chair with his head slightly tilted back, revealing his smooth and perfect jawline.

The black eye mask covered his charming peach blossom eyes and made his high nose bridge even more perfect.

And those light-colored thin lips are sexy and make people want to... kiss them.

Chi Rui blinked and blushed at her thoughts just now.

She looked away, straightened her back, and while holding onto the armchair with both hands, she accidentally touched the man's warm palm.

She froze involuntarily, but did not withdraw her hand.

She secretly raised her little finger and placed it lightly on the man's pinky finger. Seeing that he did not react, she moved her ring finger calmly.

She smiled gently after successfully seducing him again, but the next second, the man who should have fallen asleep held her hand instead.

The man's big hand completely wrapped around her, held her in his palm, and then led her over.

Under her gaze, his sexy thin lips kissed her tender white palm, as if kissing the tip of her heart.

“Thump, thump—”

Chi Rui felt her heart beating rapidly, and the place where she was kissed seemed to be burned.

She wanted to pull back, but the man held her tightly.

"Be good."

He whispered softly, then placed his palm against hers, interlocking their fingers.

Chi Rui's face turned slightly red, but she still calmed down. She let him hold her hand, tilted her head to the side, and leaned lightly on his shoulder.

The man did not push her away.

After a while, his head tilted over and rested lightly against the top of her head.

The two of them leaned their heads against each other and fell asleep together.

The plane was flying smoothly, leaving a white tail in the sky...

By the time they arrived in South City, it was already evening.

When the plane finally stabilized, Ye Minghan took off his blindfold and turned his head to look out the window.

He didn't know if it was because he didn't get enough rest or the flying experience was just too bad, but he felt a little dizzy and seemed a little sleepy.

"Brother Han?" Chi Rui tilted his head to look at him.

"Well, I went down."

The two of them got off the plane together with their luggage.

"Mom said she would come pick us up."

Chi Rui said as he and Ye Minghan walked out of the airport.

Ye Minghan paused slightly. Was she about to meet her mother?

He had only met Liu Manzhi once.

It was when she came to his house to pick up Chi Rui when he was a child. I remember that she was a rather serious aunt.

"I told my mother that you came with me." Chi Rui looked at the phone and said softly.

"What did she say?"

Ye Minghan pursed his lips and asked calmly.

"She agreed to spend the New Year together in South City." Chi Rui smiled, "She also said she would treat you well."

Ye Minghan relaxed slightly, hummed softly, took her hand, and went to the airport gate to wait together.

"Rui Rui!"

As soon as I stood still, a woman's voice called out.

Following the sound, I saw a short-haired woman wearing a black coat and long boots walking quickly towards me from a distance, waving at me as she walked.

Seeing the woman's figure, Chi Rui quickly broke away from Ye Minghan's hand.

In just a few seconds, Liu Manzhi had already run in front of them.

"Mom." Chi Rui looked at her mother and smiled softly.

"Mom is late. Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, we just got here."

Chi Rui hugged her mother's arm affectionately, her eyes bright and full of admiration.

Liu Manzhi patted the back of Chi Rui's hand and carefully looked at her daughter. Seeing that she was in good condition, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Ye Minghan.

"Are you Minghan?" she asked softly.

"Aunt Liu." Ye Minghan stood up straight, feeling a little nervous.

Liu Manzhi was so smart that she could tell something was wrong with him at a glance. Moreover, when she ran over just now, she clearly saw the two children holding hands.

In fact, when her daughter told her that Ye Minghan had also come to Nancheng, she had vaguely guessed it.

After all, as An Xin's best friend, she had often heard her complain that her son was too aloof and not good at getting along with others.

If he didn't have something going on with his daughter, why would he follow her so eagerly?

She didn't rush to expose him and smiled at him kindly.

"Let's go, let's go home first."

Ye Minghan nodded, dragged Chi Rui's luggage and followed the mother and daughter.

He looked at Liu Manzhi's back, his expression revealing a complexity.

Liu Manzhi's expression just now, as if she saw through him, really made him a little concerned...

They got in the car quickly. Along the way, Liu Manzhi asked her daughter about her well-being and spoke to Ye Minghan from time to time. Under her leadership, the atmosphere was quite warm.

"Are you hungry?" Liu Manzhi said, "How about we go eat first?"

The two young people had no objection, so Liu Manzhi took them to the restaurant and waited until night fell before returning home together.

Chi Rui and Liu Manzhi live in an upscale residential area in the city center. Although it is not as luxurious as the Ye family's, the living environment is not bad.

Ye Minghan followed them out of the elevator and, under the guidance of Liu Manzhi, entered their house together.

The first time he stepped into the place where Chi Rui had lived since he was a child, his heart was beating fast. He didn't know if it was because he was too excited, but his steps felt a little unsteady.

"The nanny went back to her hometown for the New Year, and the house is a bit messy."

Liu Manzhi turned on the light and hurriedly picked up the clothes that were scattered on the sofa.

"Just make do with it for now. I'll ask my assistant to come and clean up tomorrow."

"No need, I'll do it."

Chi Rui was already accustomed to this kind of situation. She turned her head and looked at Ye Minghan somewhat embarrassedly.

"Brother Han, please sit down for a while. I'll go clean up the guest room for you."

"I'll help you." Ye Minghan followed her.

Chi Rui glanced at her mother, then looked away guiltily.

"Yeah, over here."

She took Ye Minghan to the end of the corridor, came to the door of a room, and pushed it open.

Ye Minghan glanced at the next room.

There were cute ornaments hanging on the door, and he guessed that this was probably the girl's boudoir.

He withdrew his gaze and walked into the guest room.

The two of them cleaned the room briefly. The nanny had already washed the sheets and quilts, so they could just use them directly.

"The air conditioner seems to be broken."

Chi Rui took the remote control and tried a few times but there was no response.

There is no floor heating in the south, so heating and air conditioning can make the room temperature a little higher.

Chi Rui frowned, "Maybe the battery is dead. I'll go look in the living room."

Ye Minghan nodded, watched her leave the room, then sat on the edge of the bed and looked around the small guest room.

Although it is much smaller than his room, it is warm and cozy everywhere.

He sat there bored and casually opened a drawer.

Originally he just had nothing to do, but when his eyes fell on the drawer, he couldn't help but pause, and then frowned deeply.

He reached into the drawer, took out a small square box, gently opened it, and sure enough, he saw the neatly arranged cigarettes inside.

How could there be cigarettes in Chi Rui's guest room?

Ye Minghan frowned and put the box of cigarettes back to its place.

Seeing that Chi Rui had been out for so long and had not come back yet, he couldn't help but get up and walk out of the room and into the living room.

Chi Rui was seeing her mother off.

As the New Year is approaching, the artists from Liuman Ribbon Weaving will be performing at a TV station's evening party and are now rehearsing intensively.

Something went wrong just now, and they called her to come over and deal with it.

Seeing Ye Minghan coming out, Liu Manzhi gave him some instructions and then hurried out.

Chi Rui didn't feel anything special about Liu Manzhi going out after sitting for a while. She found the batteries, installed the remote control, and went to the guest room to try it, but there was still no response.

"It seems to be really broken. We have to call someone to repair it tomorrow." Chi Rui walked back and said to Ye Minghan.

Seeing that he didn't say anything and just stared at her, she couldn't help feeling a little strange.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Minghan shook his head, looking puzzled.

Chi Rui frowned and looked at him, then walked to the sofa and turned on the TV.

"You watch TV for a while, I'll go cut some fruit."

Seeing her busy figure, Ye Minghan felt a little distressed, but the waves of sleepiness and fatigue that came over him made him sit down on the sofa.

When Chi Rui came out of the kitchen with a fruit plate, she saw the man leaning on the sofa with his head tilted back and his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep.

He seemed particularly tired today. He ate very little at dinner just now.

Chi Rui put the fruit plate on the coffee table, walked over and sat on him, poking his arm with her finger.

"Brother Han, go back to your room and sleep. You will catch a cold here." She said gently.

Ye Minghan frowned and raised his eyelids to look at her.

He felt his consciousness was a little fuzzy, but he could still barely hear what she was saying, and nodded slightly.

He forced himself to go back to his room, take a shower, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Chi Rui sent him back to the guest room, and just as he closed the door, his cell phone rang.

After checking the caller ID, she quickly picked up the phone.

"Brother Lang."

"Well, I'm in South City and I'm already at home...Are you coming over tomorrow?"
