Chapter 96: Hot Palms



After being stunned for a long time, Lin Minjun put her hand on her face to cool down a little, and then said: "Brother Yan Li, don't you treat me as your sister? Are you kidding me?"

Yan Li looked at her and made eye contact with her frankly, "I'm not kidding you. It's true that I treated you as my sister before, and it's also true that I like you now. I wanted to tell you that night, but I always felt like I was taking advantage of you."

"Ah Jun, I'm not forcing you to date me now. I just want you to consider whether you are willing to accept me. I like you. If you don't want to, we can still be brother and sister in the future. I won't talk about this topic anymore."

Lin Minjun said nothing.

Erwa rubbed his hands and said, "Yes, sister, just think about it for a moment, think carefully, do you hate my brother?"

Lin Minjun put her face close to her, thinking calmly. Of course she didn't hate Brother Yan Li. On the contrary, ever since what happened that night, she could no longer completely regard Yan Li as a brother when she saw him again.

After a while, Lin Minjun said, "I don't know yet. Can you let me think about it and give it some thought?"

"Okay, I'll go to work." Yan Li didn't ask any further questions. He left Erwa in the store and left.

At night, it was almost time to go to school, and the sky was getting dark and gloomy.

Lin Minjun stood at the door of the store nervously. She waited and waited but Yan Li didn't show up. She estimated that Yan Li would not send her to school again until she gave a formal reply.

She took a deep breath, went to push her bicycle out, and prepared herself mentally to go to school alone today.

Unexpectedly, after pushing the bike for a while, I saw Brother Yan Li waiting at the intersection, which was exactly where they had met before.

Lin Minjun suddenly felt awkward, and at the same time, she was a little excited. She couldn't explain why. She curled her lips and said, "Let's go."

Apart from that, she really didn't know what to say, and everything she said would be awkward.

Yan Li's expression was the same as usual, and he even handed over something considerately.

Lin Minjun looked confused, "What?"

She suddenly recalled the TV dramas she had seen in her previous life. In those dramas, when men pursued women, they would give them gifts and flowers, and they called that romance.

Lin Minjun thought to herself: Could it be that Brother Yan Li is also so romantic?

Looking at the things he handed over, it was a bulging package that didn't look like flowers or candy. Lin Minjun couldn't help but wonder in her heart, what on earth was it?

Yan Li's words shattered her romantic fantasy, "Put on a coat. The weather is very cold. You'll catch a cold if you ride your bike after school tonight."

So he went back to the compound after get off work and got a coat for her?

Lin Minjun held the warm coat in her hands, and suddenly she felt delighted. Flowers and candies were no longer important. A windproof coat was romantic enough.

After all, she knew from her previous life that many men liked to look at girls' long, slender, white legs, and liked to see their skirts fluttering in the breeze.

But there were a few times when she could see the wind blowing and the girl was shivering with cold.

A coat proves that Yan Lige is at least not the kind of person who only cares about beauty.

For a moment, Lin Minjun even wanted to agree, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it out loud.

She needs to think carefully about whether or not to date Yan Li. After all, this is not a joke. In this era, there is a saying that dating without the purpose of marriage is hooliganism. She does not want to decide to get married too easily, nor does she want to treat love as a joke.

After a few days, Lin Minjun still did not give a formal reply.

But every night when it was time to go to school, when she walked to the intersection, she could see Yan Li waiting for her. Sometimes he would bring her a coat, sometimes a cup of hot tea. He always took care of her silently, making Lin Minjun feel that he cared about her.

I don't know when the atmosphere started to become ambiguous. Usually, on the way home from school, the two of us walked one after the other, and the atmosphere was no different from that of strangers. We didn't talk all the way.

We didn't talk now, but when our eyes met, it seemed as if something had changed.

Lin Minjun withdrew her gaze and thought to herself, what's wrong with this guy? He mentioned a partner in a hurry, but never mentioned it again. Does he want me to take the initiative to say that I want to have a partner?

When this thought just came to her mind, Lin Minjun herself was shocked. It turned out that she had unknowingly accepted the idea that she could be in a relationship with Brother Yan Li?

If you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with this.

First of all, Brother Yan Li is a public security officer who just came back from the battlefield. After spending such a long time together, she can see clearly that Brother Yan Li’s character and ability are absolutely fine. If she really stays with him, she will be like a wild flower sheltered by a big tree. From now on, wind and rain will have nothing to do with her.

If she finds someone, Lu Deping will give up and stop going crazy in front of her.

Secondly, Brother Yan Li himself owns a courtyard house that will be very valuable in the future. There are also many collections in the east wing of their house. Although Lin Minjun has never seen them, people in the yard say that those things are extremely valuable. Even if the two brothers divide them in half, it will still be a considerable fortune. He only owns a small shop, so it is impossible for him to covet these things.

Lin Minjun thought about it carefully and realized that when she was with Brother Yan Li, it seemed that she was the only one who benefited and never suffered any loss.

Besides, Brother Yan Li only has two brothers. It’s not like in his previous life, when once he gets together with his girlfriend, all the gossips will come out to stop him and make irresponsible remarks.

After thinking it over, Lin Minjun had already decided to agree in her heart, but Yan Liling never mentioned this matter again in the past few days, and the few conversations they had were also very dull.

"Have you eaten?" "What do you want to eat?" "Put on your coat and drink some hot water."

Since Lin Minjun didn't mention it, he planned to mention it himself, but then he thought, isn't it a bit too proactive to do so?

While hesitating, Yan Li in front stopped the car first, stood at the door and looked at Lin Minjun, "We're here."

Lin Minjun looked up and saw that she was inside the store. The lights were on, Aunt Cao was cleaning, and Erwa was doing his homework on the table. Although they did not turn around to look openly, they were secretly looking in this direction.

Lin Minjun was speechless for a moment. It was also the first time that she felt that this road was so short.

The next night, they still went to school. Seeing that Yan Li still had no intention of bringing up the matter, Lin Minjun refused to give in and decided to ask what was going on.

He came up to her out of nowhere and said he wanted to date her. She thought about it for a few days, but now he’s backing off before she’s given him an answer?

Lin Minjun went to find Yan Li in advance.

When they got there, seeing him standing alone on the side of the road with his back straight, Lin Minjun slowed down her pace.

The footsteps were very light, but Yan Li was very alert. He turned around suddenly, and the ice in his eyes melted instantly.

He looked at Lin Minjun, "Where's your car?"

"I forgot to ride a bike today." Lin Minjun said calmly.

In fact, she deliberately left her bike in the store, wanting to walk slowly with him and have a good chat about dating on the way.

Yan Li looked at his car and said decisively, "Then you ride my car and I'll follow behind."

These words immediately broke the happiness in Lin Minjun's heart. She was riding in front and he was running behind. What a picture that would be!

Lin Minjun said, "It doesn't matter. It's still early. Let's just walk there. It's not far anyway."

The two of them walked to school. On the way, Lin Minjun wanted to ask about this matter several times, but she just couldn't ask. Before she opened her mouth, her face and ears turned red.

The two of them walked side by side without saying a word. Because they were walking side by side, Lin Minjun could occasionally feel a gust of wind when there was movement.

Lin Minjun's face gradually turned red as she was absorbed in thinking about how to start the conversation.

"Ding-a-ling." The sound of bicycle bells rang behind me. "Please move aside. Please, please ...

Lin Minjun didn't react for a moment. She turned around and saw that the bicycle was almost rushing towards her. She widened her eyes and tried to dodge to the side, but her body had already frozen.

The next moment, someone grabbed him and dragged him to the side of the road.

"Be careful, walk inside." Yan Li said.

As he said this, he moved to the other side and let Lin Minjun walk on the empty side.

It was just the time for the workers to get off work. Some of them were impatient and rode their bicycles very fast on the way home, bringing a gust of wind along the way. The wind blew up the fallen leaves on the ground, making them swirl and then gently fall back.

After a while, another bicycle came, still in a hurry, and no one knew what it was rushing to do. Lin Minjun rubbed the thumb and index finger of her left hand together and felt slightly wet. Her palms were actually sweating!

When the bicycle approached, Lin Minjun grabbed Yan Li's hand without hesitation and whispered, "Watch out for the cars."

Lin Minjun thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with the question about the source and the object. It seemed particularly difficult to say such words out loud, which made her scalp tingle.

However, she thought of another way. She tried to hold Yan Li's hand. If he didn't let go, then he probably had that intention. If he let go immediately and still didn't mention anything about his partner, then Lin Minjun wouldn't mention it again and would just pretend that it had never happened.

The hand-holding thing was easier to explain; she just said she was worried he'd get hit by a car.

Lin Minjun held Yan Li's hand tightly. Her hands were small and his were big, so they could hardly hold each other.

His knuckles were distinct, and there was an old coil at the base of his thumb, the old coil that only people who have been holding guns for years have. She rubbed the coil subconsciously.

At this time, Yan Li still didn't react, didn't pull his hand back, and didn't say anything. Lin Minjun's heart immediately turned cold.

She guessed that Yan Li must be regretting asking her out for a date.

Let’s not talk about it anymore. Lin Minjun couldn’t explain what she felt in her heart, and she was ready to let go.

However, the next moment, a hand grabbed her hand that was about to run and held it firmly.

His hands were almost twice as big as hers, and he grasped them tightly, his palms burning.
