If anyone else had said such caring words to her, Ye Qingcheng would have thought they had ulterior motives, but these words just happened to come from Bai Ye's mouth.
She subconsciously didn't believe Bai Ye would harbor any ulterior motives, and she said it from the bottom of her heart.
She suddenly realized that she was becoming a bit love-struck.
Bai Ye handed her a skewer of lamb: "Eat up."
Looking at Bai Ye's smile, she felt her whole body burning and wanted to escape his scorching gaze.
Ye Qingcheng's words were barely audible, like a mosquito buzzing: "Thank...thank you!"
The late-night snack didn't last long. Ye Qingcheng also had classes the next day and couldn't stay there for long. Before leaving, she repeatedly told him to reflect on his actions.
Ye Cheng nodded numbly.
After his sister finally finished speaking, he looked at Bai Ye and said, "You take my sister to school safely."
He didn't know that his sister was a content creator on social media, or rather, Ye Qingcheng had hidden it very well. He still thought his sister was living in the school dormitory.
Bai Ye's lips twitched: Is this how you ask someone for a favor?
At least try to stop looking so annoyed!
Bai Ye decided to let it go and not bother arguing with the child.
Bai Ye gave an OK sign: "Don't worry, you can leave it to me."
Ye Qingcheng awkwardly crossed her hands behind her back.
What do you mean by "I trust you with my life"? It's just taking me home, why are you making such a fuss...
But the corners of her mouth still unconsciously turned up.
...
It was 21:15.
On the way back, with the cold wind blowing, Ye Qingcheng looked somewhat hesitant.
She secretly glanced at Bai Ye's profile; it was an ordinary face, yet it seemed to possess a unique charm.
She pursed her lips and suddenly made up her mind.
The next second, she approached Bai Ye from behind and hugged him.
Resting her little head against Bai Ye's back, feeling Bai Ye's breath and heartbeat, she felt a tranquility she had never known before.
"Thanks."
This "thank you" has many meanings. It's thanking Bai Ye for accompanying her tonight, thanking him for helping her deal with her brother's situation, thanking him for his constant companionship, thanking...
The whistling night wind slightly drowned out the girl's voice, and Bai Ye didn't quite hear her: "What?"
He only felt that the girl suddenly hugged him for some reason, and then said something.
Ye Qingcheng was taken aback, and repeated, "Thank...thank you."
Bai Ye heard it clearly this time, but the mischievous instincts hidden in his blood suddenly came to life.
Bai Ye smiled, in a cheerful mood: "Say it again, you're being too lenient."
Although Ye Qingcheng was somewhat embarrassed and indignant, she still wanted the other party to hear her thanks. Just as she was about to shout it again, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Bai Ye's smiling face in the electric scooter's rearview mirror.
She instantly snapped back to reality, then gently bit her lip.
That jerk did it on purpose. He clearly heard it, but he pretended not to, wanting her to say it a few more times.
Fool!
Ye Qingcheng took a deep breath, and her small hand landed without hesitation near Bai Ye's earlobe.
She said gently, "Didn't you hear me? I'll say it again."
Bai Ye's pupils widened as he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Ye Qingcheng's tone suddenly softened; this is definitely going to be the end of us!
Sure enough, Bai Ye was in trouble the next second.
Ye Qingcheng gently grabbed Bai Ye's right ear with her small hand and then tugged at it.
Ye Qingcheng said with a half-smile, "Do I need to say it again?"
Bai Ye immediately begged for forgiveness: "I was wrong, I was wrong, Qingcheng, I know I was wrong."
Ye Qingcheng stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, saying with interest, "Really?"
"So what did you do wrong? Tell me, and if you get it right, I'll let you off the hook. If you get it wrong, I'll say goodbye to your ear."
Bai Ye's expression tightened: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have pretended not to hear. It's all my fault."
Ye Qingcheng was very satisfied, but she still didn't let him off the hook, gently kneading him.
"ah!"
Ye Qingcheng rolled her eyes; she hadn't even used any force.
She couldn't really pinch too hard, since Bai Ye was still driving, so she was only gently pinching him and was careful not to hurt him.
...
The two argued as they returned to their apartment building.
Bai Ye parked his electric scooter, came to her side, and was about to say goodbye and leave.
Ye Qingcheng tugged at Bai Ye's sleeve, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Bai Ye asked, "What's wrong?"
The next second, the girl suddenly threw herself into his arms. Bai Ye didn't react for a moment, took a few steps back, and then hugged the girl to steady himself.
Bai Ye's two hands were holding the girl's slender waist, and he subconsciously tightened his grip.
He quickly realized something was wrong and immediately let go of her hands, looking somewhat embarrassed at the dark sky.
The girl in his arms remained motionless, and Ye Qingcheng's brain seemed to short-circuit and stop functioning.
It took her a while to come to her senses after being hugged, and then she became shy.
Why did I suddenly pounce on Bai Ye? Have I given up all my ladylike modesty?
She asked herself these questions.
Although it was comfortable to be held like this, it wasn't good to keep doing it, especially since they were downstairs in the apartment complex: "Wh...what's wrong?"
Ye Qingcheng's body trembled slightly, and she clenched her hands tightly around Bai Ye.
A surge of emotion welled up inside her, and she, who had been suppressing it, could no longer bear it.
"Hey...Baiye, we're...friends, right?"
Bai Ye was slightly taken aback, wondering why she suddenly asked this question.
"Of course."
What type of girl do you like?
Bai Ye was stunned: "Huh?"
"No...don't misunderstand. As your friend, I'm worried that you might end up alone, which would be too pitiful. So, as your friend and boss, I'm planning to introduce you to a few girlfriends."
Bai Ye was both amused and exasperated. This girl was probably being arrogant again; she clearly just wanted to find out about him, and then...
Something's wrong! Ye Qingcheng, what's wrong with you? Something's not right!
You haven't fallen for me, have you?
Bai Ye suddenly had this suspicion.
But then he shook his head.
He doesn't want to be an ordinary man.
Could it be that Ye Qingcheng really sees him as single and wants to introduce him to her best friend?
Is there really such a good thing?
Actually, he was more inclined to believe that Ye Qingcheng might have feelings for him...
However, he always subconsciously denies it and dares not believe it.
Bai Ye was troubled; each and every one of them was making his mind very confused!
The five girls—Luo Qingyan, Xia Qingyue, Su Zhimeng, Yao Yuyan, and Ye Qingcheng—were stirring up his thoughts.
Xia Qingyue, a very wealthy woman, kept saying she wanted to support him and make him a kept man.
Luo Qingyan is still harboring feelings for him, even though he only sees her as a younger sister.
Yao Yuyan, his ex-girlfriend, suddenly turned into a yandere and clung to him relentlessly.
It's not quite right for Ye Qingcheng to suddenly hug him and say these things now.
As expected, only Angel Senior Sister can make him worry-free. I suddenly miss Angel Senior Sister.
