Fortunately, Ren Yaoqi came to her senses first. She bit her lip, tilted her head in annoyance and whispered softly, "Don't let go."
Ren Yaoqi came out of Baoping Hutong in the evening. It was gradually getting dark at this time. The two of them were standing in a sheltered place to talk. The two maids were tactful enough to avoid the intersection, so no one saw this scene.
Xiao Jingxi was distracted by Ren Yaoqi's rare shy and coquettish tone. He clearly wanted to let go of her hand, but for some reason he held it even tighter.
Then, after coming to his senses, he quickly let go of her hand, his face burning as he murmured softly, "I'm sorry, I'm not..."
Ren Yaoqi glared at him, turned around and ran away. Even after getting on the carriage, Ren Yaoqi could still feel his frantic heartbeat and the warmth of another person lingering in his palm.
Even after Ren Yaoqi's carriage disappeared at the end of the road, Xiao Jingxi remained standing. On Xiao Er's face were expressions of annoyance, regret, trance, and a subtle hint of shyness. But his usual imperturbable composure was missing. It was difficult to describe Xiao Er's true feelings at that moment.
That night, Ren Yaoqi tossed and turned in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep. She didn't know why, but whenever she closed her eyes, she would recall the moment when Xiao Jingxi had held her hand tightly. Only Ren Yaoqi herself understood the throbbing sensation at that moment. From beginning to end, she didn't feel any emotions like disgust or anger.
Ren Yaoqi almost did not sleep all night. She recalled in her mind everything that had happened between her and Xiao Jingxi since they met. There were some details that she thought she had forgotten or could not remember, but unexpectedly, she remembered them clearly.
"I wouldn't be..." Ren Yaoqi murmured softly at the moment when the day was about to dawn and he was about to fall asleep, but the last few words were not uttered aloud.
The next day, when Ren Yaoqi appeared in front of Ren Yaohua in a listless state, Ren Yaohua was startled and asked suspiciously, "Did you catch a cold last night and get sick?"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head and forced a smile, "I just didn't sleep well last night."
"Why can't you sleep well?" Ren Yaohua didn't remember that Ren Yaoqi had a problem of being particular about her bed. Besides, Ren Yaoqi had lived in the Ren family villa several times and was used to using the same bedding.
How could Ren Yaoqi tell Ren Yaohua that she had been thinking about her and Xiao Jingxi all night and hadn't slept well?
Fortunately, Ren Yaohua was not the type to ask questions until she got to the bottom of the matter. After Ren Yaoqi answered her questions perfunctorily for a few times, she stopped asking.
Ren Shimin's lectures in Yunyang City have come to an end, and he is going back to Baihe Town today. Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi will naturally go back with him.
On the way, Master Ren San was in a good mood, so he talked to Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua about coming to Yunyang City in the early spring of next year.
Ren Yaoqi asked, "Dad, where are we going to live then? If you go to the academy, it will be inconvenient if you still live in the Ren family villa, right?"
Ren Shimin thought for a moment and said, "I see that except for a few teachers who live in the academy, the rest of them rent courtyards near Baoping Hutong."
