“From the underground cave!” Yanbo replied with a smile.
Tong Xiaohuai knew he was teasing her, and curled her lips dismissively, "Fine, don't tell me then. I guess she got in through connections."
Yan Bo smiled without saying a word and reached out his hand.
Tong Xiaohuai instinctively backed away, staring at him, "What?"
Yan Bo pointed to her head, "There's a flower petal stuck to it..."
Tong Xiaohuai raised her hand and touched it; sure enough, she touched a purple petal.
"Meddlesome..." Tong Xiaohuai was embarrassed by her evasive behavior, but stubbornly refused to admit it.
"I have a question for you!" Yan Bo's expression remained unchanged as he withdrew his hand, but his gaze remained fixed on her face.
"Go ahead and ask! But I might not answer!"
Tong Xiaohuai looked down at the bouquet, her slender fingers tracing the petals as thin as cicada wings, thinking to herself, "These petals are so thin, they can hardly withstand the ravages of wind and rain."
Yan Bo gradually discovered that she was actually a rather proud and arrogant little girl.
However, he absolutely loved the way she looked at that moment, with her lips slightly pouting and her eyes lowered, like a naughty child who had clearly gotten her beloved toy but refused to admit it no matter what.
"I've sent you so many kinds of flowers, which one do you like?"
So far, Yanbo has sent more than a dozen kinds of flowers, and today's purple lisianthus is the first time he has sent the same type of flower repeatedly.
I like them both!
Tong Xiaohuai was still studying the structure of the bellflower. Yan Bo couldn't see the emotions in her eyes, but he could see her long eyelashes trembling, which was quite alluring.
Yan Bo was itching with desire, but dared not do anything out of line, and could only look at her with burning eyes.
Speaking of which, the Yan family is known for its abundance of beauties and handsome men. Both Yan Bo's father, Yan Zhong, and his brother, Yan Yuan, are very handsome, and his mother and second sister are also famous beauties.
Perhaps because of this, Yanbo used to think that no matter which girl he looked at, she was plain-looking and had nothing beautiful about her.
Only Tong Xiaohuai, with just a fleeting glimpse on the competition stage that day, was enough to stir his heart with adoration.
In the next few times they spent time together, he was able to see her clearly up close.
It's often said that distance creates beauty, but this doesn't apply to Tong Xiaohuai at all.
Because her features are the kind that grow on you the more you look at them, the more exquisite they become. Even though Yan Bo has seen many beautiful women and handsome men, he couldn't help but be mesmerized when he looked at her closely.
Tong Xiaohuai lowered her eyes and studied the situation for a while, sensing that the atmosphere around her was a bit strange.
Why does it suddenly seem so hot?
She lifted her eyelids and glanced at Yan Bo.
With that one glance, he met Yan Bo's dark, shining eyes, which seemed to have two flames leaping within them!
Tong Xiaohuai's heart began to pound wildly, the burning sensation spreading from her ears to her face.
"What are you looking at?" To hide her embarrassment and shyness, Tong Xiaohuai pretended to stare at him with wide eyes.
She thought he would at least try to avoid it, making up some lie to cover up his blatant spying.
Little did they know, Yan Bo's eyes remained bright, showing no sign of backing down.
"Look at you!" Yan Bo readily admitted.
Tong Xiaohuai had been deliberately keeping a straight face and pretending to be calm and collected, but his straightforward answer was like a needle piercing the inflated balloon.
Her carefully constructed composure deflated instantly.
"you!"
Her face flushed, and for a moment she couldn't find the words to scold him.
Actually, she can be quite formidable when she gets angry. After all, she has been mingling with rough men since she was eight or nine years old, and her verbal skills are an essential part of her fighting spirit.
"What's wrong with me?" Yan Bo looked at her face slowly turning red with amusement.
He didn't want to bully her, but the way she looked now made him really want to ravage her.
It was only at this moment that he realized that he harbored this sadistic nature deep within him.
Tong Xiaohuai wanted to call him a hooligan, but looking at his gentle, smiling, handsome face, she couldn't bring herself to say the word. After stammering for a moment, she finally managed to blurt out, "You! You're shameless!"
Yan Bo almost burst out laughing, but luckily he managed to hold it in. Otherwise, if he had laughed out loud, this young lady would have definitely thrown the flowers in her hand at his face and stormed off.
"I may be shameless, but tell me, what's the point of having a face for a grown man like me?"
Yan Bo's words made Tong Xiaohuai's chest heave with anger. Seeing that she was about to lose her temper, Yan Bo quickly put the coffee in front of her to her lips and coaxed her in a gentle tone.
"Okay, it's my fault! Let me have a cup of coffee to calm myself down!"
Tong Xiaohuai glared at him fiercely. She had known him for so long, but this was the first time she had witnessed his wicked side.
In her mind, she already considered him an old friend, someone she had known for quite some time.
But in fact, she and he have known each other for less than a month.
Speaking of which, Yan Bo is quite remarkable. In just over half a month, he not only broke down Tong Xiaohuai's defenses but also successfully influenced her emotions with his words and actions.
Moreover, Tong Xiaohuai, the person involved, was completely unaware of the situation.
Tong Xiaohuai took the coffee he handed her and took a big gulp. The anger in her heart was calmed down a lot without her realizing it.
"Xiao Huai, you are beautiful. Has no one ever told you that?"
Yan Bo placed his hands on the table with their folded hands, a gesture that posed no threat to Tong Xiaohuai.
Tong Xiaohuai took a deep breath and glared at him sideways.
"None of your business!" She was still angry!
Yan Bo raised an eyebrow slightly, staring at her, "Don't swear..."
Tong Xiaohuai then leaned closer, staring defiantly into his eyes, and repeated the word slowly and deliberately.
"none of your business!"
Yan Bo frowned slightly. To be honest, his good upbringing and strict family education made him extremely intolerant of profanity.
"Xiao Huai..."
He could no longer remain indifferent. After all, he was just a twenty-year-old young man, and the girl sitting opposite him was the girl he liked. His rationality had always been extremely weak in front of her.
"It's okay, it's my fault!" he said, taking the initiative to show weakness.
The hand that had been holding back finally reached out and touched her head without her noticing.
His large hand gently swept across her head, as if she were a little dog that had been robbed of its bone and was barking wildly at people.
Strangely enough, his attempt to comfort her was actually very effective.
Her face was already red, and now another wave of blush washed over her, making her cheeks look as red as if they were about to bleed. Instinctively, she leaned back.
Yan Bo's hand suddenly disappeared, hanging abruptly in mid-air. His eyes dimmed slightly, and he withdrew his hand, saying...
"I'm sorry! I was being presumptuous just now!"
