Chapter 17: Keep pretending!



A black and white sketch.

With just a few strokes, it is full of charm.

On the white paper on the left is him flipping through the instruction manual, and his little one kneeling on the ground building Lego.

Even the Hogwarts, which was almost finished, was drawn to life.

On the white paper to the right is a drawing of herself.

With her large, watery eyes almost taking up half her face, the kawaii manga version of Ye Li waved with a bright smile, "Hi, hello! I'm the most adorable and super cute Pear Sister in the universe!"

The two paintings have a great sense of space; at first glance, it seems as if Ye Li is waving to the two people in the other painting.

Fu Yanci paused slightly, then looked down at the girl sleeping soundly in his arms.

I thought she had stopped painting a long time ago.

Turns out, it wasn't lost after all!

Glancing at his little one, who was already lying obediently on the bed watching him, Fu Yanci opened his mouth and said, "Sleep well, goodnight!"

Xiao Bao nodded.

Fu Yanci carried Ye Li out the door and headed straight for the small courtyard where the two of them lived.

A cold wind blew by, carrying with it snowflakes falling from the trees.

Fu Yanci hugged Ye Li tightly.

Ye Li snuggled even tighter into that warm embrace.

Back in the bedroom, Fu Yanci gently placed Ye Li back on the bed and took off her boots.

The moment he pulled the blanket over her, Fu Yanci's eyes narrowed slightly.

Ye Li didn't dare to move an inch.

She had been awake for a while.

If she didn't realize it when Fu Yanci picked her up, she only vaguely knew that she had fallen asleep.

Then, when she went outside and was hit by the cold wind, she was completely awake.

But I don't want to wake up.

Walking in the snow and ice is nothing to worry about.

But two people can't just walk in silence, can they?

Talking about the weather is obviously inappropriate.

She's not good at talking about other things either.

Besides, given her curiosity-killing-the-cat nature, she'd definitely ask Xiao Bao's mother why she didn't want him, and why Fu Yanci didn't marry Xiao Bao's mother—all sorts of gossip.

When that time comes, Fu Yanci will have to answer her, and it will be incredibly awkward!

If he doesn't answer, it means he's plotting to strangle her.

There is no solution in either direction.

Since there is no solution, the best solution is to bury your head in the sand like an ostrich, hide away, and avoid facing the problem.

Anyway, she's asleep!

As expected, Fu Yanci remained completely oblivious, his expression unchanged and his heart pounding, and he carried her back to the room without even catching his breath.

She just had to pretend to wake up slowly, then take a shower and go to sleep.

Before you know it, a night has passed.

Tomorrow I'll have morning tea with my grandmother to pass the time, and then she'll pack up and head back to her dorm in the afternoon.

That means she won't have to be alone with Fu Yanci anymore, and there won't be so many awkward moments.

Absolutely...perfect!

As it turns out, imagination is wonderful, but reality is terrible!

Ye Li never dreamed that Fu Yanci, such a cold and aloof man, would be so considerate as to help her take off her clothes because he was worried she wouldn't be able to sleep well in them!

The man moved gently, lifting her upper body to lean against him, and carefully took off her down jacket.

Her cheek rested against his chest, so close that Ye Li could clearly smell the rich sandalwood scent on him and hear his pounding heartbeat.

The man hesitated for a moment, seemingly unsure how to help her take off her cashmere sweater without disturbing her.

Then, his fingers touched the hem of her sweater.

His warm fingertips gently traced the soft flesh of her waist, and Ye Li could feel goosebumps rising all over her skin as his fingertips touched the area.

A tingling sensation spread down my spine to my neck.

Ye Li's cheeks and ears felt as hot as boiling water, causing her mind to go blank for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Li trembled slightly and sat up from Fu Yanci's arms.
