The light far away in the sky at that time was just like the light in the eyes of the young man right in front of him now. It was sincere and serious without a trace of the usual playfulness. Instead, it was more cherished and protected as if it were a treasure.
She fell in love with the stars and nodded involuntarily: "Okay."
After hearing her answer, his tense body relaxed.
He smiled and rubbed her head: "So good!"
Suddenly, he moved closer, his eyes fixed on her lips. He raised his chin and smiled, "You're so old, and you still have rice on your lips."
"Hmm? Where?"
Shen Yueyan reached out to wipe it, but he stopped her with one hand.
"I'll do it!"
As his hand was about to touch the rice grains at the corner of his mouth, he paused and looked up at her: "Your hands are not hygienic..."
"Then I'll get some tissues..."
"No, I have a way..."
After saying that, she smiled slightly, lowered her head and took the grain of rice into her mouth.
She froze.
He didn't get up immediately. After the rice grains entered his mouth and were swallowed by him, he moved to the side and kissed her lips...
The rain outside the house gradually became lighter, not as heavy as last night. Instead, it was dripping, and the sound was pleasant to the ears, as if it was accompanying the two people entangled in the house.
The two of them huddled together on the sofa, Shen Yueyan nestled in Ning Yifan's arms, covered with a thin blanket. She listened quietly to Ning Yifan telling her a story. The story was made up by him. She didn't want to listen, but he dragged her to listen. She had no choice but to stay in his arms and listen to him.
He cleared his throat and said, "Listen carefully, children. The name of today's story is "The Hunter and the Fox"."
Shen Yueyan smiled meaningfully and said, "Oh~ Hunter..."
He sighed sheepishly, "Don't interrupt."
"Okay, okay, I won't interrupt you. Just continue."
"One day, a hunter went hunting in the mountains. After catching nothing, he finally saw an extremely beautiful fox..."
"...The hunter fell in love with the fox, and in the end, to protect it, when another hunter shot at it, he stepped in front of it without hesitation, taking the bullet for him. He lay in the snow, watching the fox run away safely, and he closed his eyes peacefully. The snow fell on his face, and a happy smile froze in that moment."
End of story.
"How was it? Are you touched?"
Ning Yifan touched her hair, raised his eyebrows and asked proudly.
"It's all fake, what's there to be moved about?"
Shen Yueyan's light words made him anxious. He straightened Shen Yueyan and Shen Yueyan was forced to look at him.
He pouted in dissatisfaction, and a hint of grievance emerged in his affectionate peach blossom eyes: "Xiao Ning, you don't understand this story."
Shen Yueyan looked bewildered.
"Xiao Ning, what I want to say is..."
She was very confused by Ning Yifan's hesitation.
"What?"
Ning Yifan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and spoke out in one breath: "Oh, actually, what I want to talk about is the hunter game you heard last time!"
"Oh~that!" Shen Yueyan smiled meaningfully: "Didn't you succeed in hunting?"
"Listen to me, I admit that I had a hunting mentality towards you at the beginning. I thought it would be very impressive if I could conquer a girl like you, so I started this boring game."
"But during this process, you didn't show any affection for me at all. You didn't fall for my tricks at all. It made me feel very anxious. Every night when I closed my eyes, I could only see your shadow. Over time, you became my permanent resident."
He sighed: "The hunter eventually becomes the hunted."
Shen Yueyan couldn't help but smile in her heart. So that's how it is... It was almost right as she guessed.
She pretended to be angry, pushed him away and snorted, crossed her arms over her chest, and turned her face away from him.
He immediately became anxious and ran around the coffee table, squatted down at her feet, grabbed her arm, and quickly explained: "Xiao Ning, I'm sorry, I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay?"
Shen Yueyan glanced at him. He looked like a pitiful dog, and she couldn't help laughing.
He thought she was no longer angry, so he pretended to wipe the non-existent tears from his face and sniffed twice: "Xiao Ning, are you not angry with me anymore?"
How come I hadn't noticed before that this guy was so fond of acting like a spoiled child? He would cry and act wronged in front of her at every turn, and the key was that he acted quite convincingly. If it weren't for his dry face, she would have actually believed it.
She glanced down casually and suddenly noticed that he was barefoot, so she asked, "Where are your shoes?"
He followed Shen Yueyan's gaze and remembered that he had run so fast last night that he forgot to wear shoes.
"Uh... I was so worried when I heard you crying on the phone last night that I lost my shoes..."
"you……"
Shen Yueyan was about to speak when he was interrupted by him.
"Don't worry, I'll borrow a pair from my neighbor across the street. He should have them."
Neighbor across the street? Ai Ning?
Speaking of Aining, she remembered to send him a message to say hello. After all, he was alone at home and she was quite worried.
When she was about to pick up her phone to send a message, she found that the phone was out of battery and turned off. Ning Yifan came back at that time, so she asked him about it.
Ning Yifan chatted a few words casually, then pulled her into his arms and snuggled up on the sofa.
"Xiao Ning, are you not angry anymore?"
"You want me not to be angry? Then you have to agree to one condition."
He tightened his grip and said, "Okay, as long as our Xiao Ning doesn't get angry, let alone one condition, even ten or a hundred will do!"
