No one can be seen in the alley in the afternoon, but the sound of people rushing around on the main street ahead can be heard. Tranquility and noise meet in the alley. There is quietness in the noise and noise in the quietness. There is an inexplicable sense of leisure and contentment like fireworks.
Shen Yanli didn’t say anything for a while, with an expression of obvious disbelief on his stern face.
Zhou Yunwan tilted her head, locked eyes with him for a few seconds, then blinked and added seriously, "I'm really praising you."
Her watery eyes were full of innocence and purity, and her lips were softly curved, delicate and lovely, reaching directly into his heart and stirring up ripples of love.
The prerequisite is to ignore the cunning that flashed across her eyes.
In the shadow cast by the eaves, Chen Yanli deliberately said with a stern face: "If you say so, then so be it."
Seeing him like this, Zhou Yunwan knew that she could no longer fool him. He might not know the specific meaning, but he could definitely hear that it was not a good thing.
So she hugged his arm flatteringly and shook it slightly: "Oh, I was just kidding."
The tone is gentle and pleasant, full of coquettish meaning.
...
...
And the moment she came closer, Shen Yanli's unusually cold eyes could no longer be pretended, and a deep doting look overflowed. After a while, he smiled gently: "You, are so clever and eccentric."
The smile was faint and gentle, like a glimmer of light that penetrated the cold, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Zhou Yunwan was dazzled by his smile. She stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek. She lowered her voice and murmured in his ear: "Don't you like me like this?"
Her movements were so fast that before Shen Yanli could react, she had already pulled away, leaving only the slight touch of the two soft pieces falling on her skin, which was itchy and unsatisfactory.
Shen Yanli's Adam's apple rolled, his breathing became a little disordered, and his gaze fixed on her became a little hotter: "Wanwan, what do you think?"
His rhetorical question was so deep and powerful that people could almost immediately understand the answer behind it.
Zhou Yunwan clung to his arm, feeling the bulging and hard muscles. While taking advantage of him openly, she raised her eyebrows nonchalantly: "How would I know if you don't tell me?"
Shen Yanli noticed her unruly fingertips, his eyes darkened, he stretched out his hand to hold her waist, and said in a hoarse voice: “No matter what kind of you you are, I like you.”
Of course he knew that she was pretending not to understand. Asking questions knowing the answer is the most irritating. But he just fell for it and was willing to cooperate with her in teasing him deliberately.
Hearing the answer she liked, Zhou Yunwan squinted her eyes in satisfaction. Just as she was about to reward him with another kiss, the sound of loose tiles startled her. She subconsciously loosened her arms around him and looked towards the direction where the noise came from.
A tabby cat hopped lightly along the wall, and its soft cry made Zhou Yunwan feel uneasy.
“It turned out to be a cat.” Zhou Yunwan breathed a sigh of relief, supported her pounding chest, and leaned her head on Shen Yanli’s shoulder, trying to soothe her frightened heart.
Chen Yanli was touched by her series of cute actions and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. When he lowered his head, he saw that her shoelaces had come undone without knowing when.
“Stand still.” After Shen Yanli said this, he naturally squatted down to tie her shoelaces.
Zhou Yunwan was still wondering why he said that, until he squatted down and she looked down, she noticed that her shoelaces were untied.
Looking at his hunched back, she took a half step back and said with a red face, "I'll tie it myself."
But just as she finished her words, her ankle was suddenly grabbed, and his broad, slightly cool hand firmly fixed her in place.
Following his movement, Zhou Yunwan lunged forward uncontrollably, her upper body bent, and she subconsciously grabbed the nearest object to maintain her balance.
And that thing was his hair.
Zhou Yunwan grabbed his hair on both sides. From her perspective, it was like adding two ears to his original hairstyle, which was inexplicably humorous and funny.
Normally, she would have laughed, but now she just wanted to apologize. She didn't control her strength just now, so it must have hurt a little: "Sorry...hiss."
She had only said half of her apology when Shen Yanli's hand suddenly stroked her calf a short distance up. It was not obvious and very slight, but it made her ears red.
It was not only because of this ambiguous action, but also because of the strange voice that was getting closer and closer behind him.
Judging from the voices, they sound like two young women.
And the fact was just as she thought.
Around the corner, two young women arm in arm walked towards them.
When he saw someone in the alley, he immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking. His inquiring eyes lingered on the good-looking man and woman for a few seconds.
Zhou Yunwan noticed the approach of someone behind her, and her heart was in her throat. She silently loosened her hand that was holding Shen Yanli's hair, reminding him to stop wandering around.
But after he felt her little movement, he slightly raised his head and looked at her: "Does it hurt? Do you want me to carry you?"
The two incoherent sentences left Zhou Yunwan confused. While he was talking, he moved his slender fingers and began to knead the area above her ankle. The delicate soft flesh moved under his fingertips, giving her a faint feeling of comfort.
Zhou Yunwan realized it belatedly and wondered whether he meant for her to pretend that she had sprained her ankle?
She could only bite the bullet and respond, "No, it doesn't hurt that much."
The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone in the alley to hear.
Shen Yanli asked in a very gentle voice: "Is it better after rubbing it like this?"
Seeing that he was unmoved, Zhou Yunwan wanted to reach out and pull him up.
Zhou Yunwan didn't expect him to do this suddenly. She was so shy that she could only lower her head as much as possible, letting her hair cover most of her face. She gritted her teeth and said, "Much better. It's ok. You can get up first."
Perhaps hearing the anxiety and shyness in her tone, Shen Yanli changed the subject and said, “Then I’ll help you tie your shoelaces.”
As he said this, he finally stopped "massaging" her ankle and started helping her tie her shoelaces.
The two young women passed by them and heard the conversation between the two.
After they walked a little further away, the two looked at each other and saw the word gossip in each other's eyes.
"Wow, that man is so gentle. Not only does he help rub my feet, he also helps tie my shoelaces."
"Yeah, he's much better than the one in my family. As expected, all the good men are from other families."
“I’m so envious…”
The two men walked away. Zhou Yunwan barely heard what was said sporadically. Her face turned pale and blue. She couldn't help but stare at a man who was deliberately doing bad things but was praised by an unsuspecting passerby.
Shen Yanli was glared at by her, but he did not restrain himself. Instead, a smile of interest appeared at the corner of his lips.
