Xiao Ran skillfully grabbed the girl's leg and walked upstairs step by step.
Only after they reached her bedroom did they carefully place her on the bed.
He turned around, his tone comforting, "Get some rest, get some sleep, that's what you need most right now."
The girl nodded understandingly, her expression towards Xiao Ran incredibly sweet. "Yes, thank you, brother."
These words made Xiao Ran a little embarrassed.
"Don't talk nonsense. You've already called me 'brother,' isn't this what I should do?"
After saying that, he turned around and went downstairs.
......
Back in his study, Xiao Ran continued to revise the manuscript as required.
After all, we agreed on two days, and today is already the second day.
In the bedroom on the second floor, the girl, preoccupied with her thoughts, turned over in bed.
Then she hugged the pink Hello Kitty toy to her chest, her mind uncontrollably replaying what had just happened.
An angry older sister, and her ex-brother-in-law who is protecting her.
Actually, the kindness he showed me went beyond that.
Scenes from the past resurfaced one by one.
He smiled and said to himself, "Your cooking is really great."
He taught himself how to ride an electric bike step by step.
He sincerely encouraged himself to do what he wanted to do.
He woke himself up.
He saw the worried look in his eyes when he was injured, and the flutter in his heart when he carried him upstairs.
And that strange dream.
Every time I think of it, my heart is warmed, my heart races, and I can't help but secretly smile.
That feeling of tension and excitement was something I had never experienced before.
At that moment, even a girl who had never been in a relationship before finally understood that this might not be familial love...
The girl, finally realizing that something was wrong, blushed slightly.
She was startled by her own audacious idea.
Good heavens, how could she do this!
Xiao Ran has always treated her like a younger sister.
If he finds out that I actually had designs on him...
Just thinking about it makes the girl feel ashamed.
The naive girl was now completely panicked.
After all, this was the first time she had ever felt this way about someone, and the feeling made her both excited and nervous.
But the thought that this person was Xiao Ran, who treated her like a younger sister, made her feel ashamed and embarrassed.
There was even a sense of guilt.
"It's over!"
The girl placed her fair hands on her forehead, looking utterly dejected.
......
However, Xiao Ran downstairs had no idea what kind of struggle the girl was going through.
After working hard for two hours, I finally finished all the manuscripts that Liu Min wanted.
Looking at the manuscript he had finished writing, Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, took a couple of sips of water from the glass on the table, and then calmly picked up his phone to call Liu Min.
Liu Min had just finished showering and was sitting on the bed, wearing a tank top and loungewear shorts, carefully applying body lotion to herself.
Question: Why do older women still look so young?
Answer: Of course, it's maintenance!
Just like Liu Min now, it's not just about her consistent practice of yoga over the years.
Even body lotion is a daily necessity.
Especially the knees and elbows, which are prone to darkening, should not be overlooked!
You must ensure that your skin is constantly moisturized to maintain its suppleness.
As I was carefully applying iris-scented body lotion to my knees, my phone on the bed rang without warning.
She quickly turned slightly to the side and took the phone.
Seeing that it was Xiao Ran calling, he answered without hesitation.
She greeted the person on the other end of the phone in a cheerful tone, "Hello, Teacher Xiao."
"Sister Liu, it's like this, my manuscript is finished, when is it convenient for you?"
Because tomorrow is Monday and he has to go to work, Xiao Ran was actually quite anxious.
Upon hearing this, Liu Min smiled and said, "It's convenient for me anytime."
After saying that, I glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table; the electronic screen displayed 15:03 in large letters.
She hesitated for a moment, then said in a pleading tone, "How about this, four o'clock? I'll pick you up at four o'clock, what do you think?"
For 29-year-old women, they are really good at cultivating goodwill.
After all, the law doesn't stipulate that only boys should pick up girls.
After all, boys are precious too!
"I can't accept that, I'll go by myself."
"No, no, I'll come pick you up. It's settled then. Besides, our director would like to meet you and hear your opinion. If you don't mind, I'll invite them over, and we can have dinner together tonight, how about that?"
Liu Min's tone was filled with anticipation.
Xiao Ran thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll trouble you, Sister Liu."
After all, it's a rare treat to have a director dine with you.
"You're too kind!"
How can serving such a talented and handsome person be considered troublesome?
This is clearly just luck!
The two were still talking when they heard a knock on the door. The sudden knock startled Xiao Ran.
It can't be that Yan Li has come back again.
He hurriedly said into the phone, "Sister Liu, see you in a bit. Someone's knocking on the door, I'll go check it out first."
