Before Zhou Yunwan could react, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her restless hand out of her warm sweater.
Feeling the pain in her wrist, Zhou Yunwan screamed and complained, "Brother, you hurt me."
“I didn’t even try hard.” Shen Yanli retorted in a hoarse voice.
"You just pushed too hard. My hand hurts."
Seeing that she didn’t seem to be pretending, Shen Yanli’s gaze gradually moved downwards, landing on the little hand he was holding.
The two people's wrists formed a sharp contrast, the strength and weakness were obvious at a glance. Her wrist was so slender that it was only half of his. If he wanted to, he could break it in two with a slight twist.
"..."Maybe he really hurt her accidentally.
Shen Yanli moved his lips, wanting to explain, but he didn't know how to say it. He swore that he really didn't use even two points of strength. After all, he couldn't let her touch his dangerous area like that...
Thinking of this, his eyes became darker and two blushes appeared on his face.
...
...
Her abnormal behavior today really overturned his impression of her. He used to think she was just a delicate and simple girl, but he never thought she could be so charming and attractive, making him completely unable to resist.
The cold wind at night was bleak, and staying outside was not a long-term solution. Shen Yanli's big hand holding her wrist moved, and he took two deep breaths to calm down. He sighed softly: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
After apologizing, he imitated the gentle tone of coaxing a child and softened his voice to persuade: "It's cold outside, and you've drunk too much again. Can we go home first?"
Zhou Yunwan opened her beautiful eyes and glared at him: "I didn't drink too much, I really only drank one glass."
"..." It seems that she can no longer drink alcohol from now on.
Chen Yanli pursed his thin lips, only to feel more pain on his forehead. He just couldn't be angry with her at all. He was even more angry at himself for not stopping her from coming here.
He looked around. Both sides of the street were empty and the door to the house was locked so he couldn't see outside. However, he was afraid that if he delayed any longer, someone would accidentally pass by and see this scene, and he wouldn't be able to explain it.
He lowered his head slightly and coaxed her in her ear: "Be good? Hmm?"
The warm breath lightly swept across the tip of her ear, bringing a subtle itch. Zhou Yunwan's heart was pounding, as if he was tickling her heart with a feather.
Her long, curly eyelashes fluttered twice, and she subconsciously followed his words. With his wrist held by hers, she unconsciously walked slowly forward, step by step, gradually moving away from the tree where they had just stood.
At some point, the sound of fireworks exploding suddenly rang out in the sky again. The fireworks blossomed one after another, and the brightness that cut through the sky shone behind them, casting two shadows, one long and one short, on the ground.
Zhou Yunwan exhaled a breath of hot air. The cold wind blowing in her face made her shrink her neck. She couldn't help but lean towards the person next to her and muttered softly, "It's so cold."
Shoulder to shoulder, she hid her little head behind him, trying to use her body to block the strong wind. The effect was quite good, at least the two balls of wool on her hat would not run to the sides.
Noticing her little action, Shen Yanli consciously acted as her shield.
Zhou Yunwan's head was still confused. In addition to her cold face and neck, her hands were also very cold. She was held by his big hands and stayed outside for a long time. In just a short while, she was almost frozen to unconsciousness.
She pouted and glanced at the oblivious man, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She moved her arms, pried his hand apart with her other hand, and then took the initiative to clasp his fingers together and put them into his coat pocket.
The wide pocket seemed to still retain his body temperature, making him warm and comfortable, much better than being cold outside.
Zhou Yunwan squinted her eyes in satisfaction, but still felt it was not enough, so she simply put her arm around the man next to her and pressed her whole body against him. The man's coat was thick and soft, and felt great to the touch.
Hehehe, it turns out that this kind of cold weather is the best time to huddle together for warmth.
She was only concerned with making herself comfortable and didn't notice Shen Yanli's blushing ears at all.
But with her behavior of standing on tiptoe to kiss him just now as a prelude, it was just holding hands, so his reaction would not be too extreme.
This was the second time he held her hand. Her hand was small, slender and extremely soft. Compared to the last time when it was just an ordinary hand holding, this time it was more intimate. The posture of holding hands with ten fingers tightly together was clearly something that only young couples in love would do.
He was a university professor and often came across young lovers engaging in all kinds of intimate behaviors in secluded groves or classrooms. Some of them were like they were doing now, hugging each other, holding hands, and leaning against each other tightly.
But they are not a couple, how can...
"Brother, are you nervous? Your palms are starting to sweat." The girl tilted her head back, her round, crystal clear eyes looking at him in confusion. Her delicate features were hidden in her woolen hat. Her red lips slightly parted, and she used the purest face to say the most blushing words.
Shen Yanli swallowed imperceptibly, pretending to be calm and denied: “No, maybe you held it too tightly.”
As he spoke, he suddenly realized something, stared at her and added: "Doesn't your coat have pockets too? Why do you want to squeeze in with me?"
Zhou Yunwan blinked and did not answer immediately. Instead, she looked away, looking straight ahead with her face turned to him. However, not only did she not loosen her grip, she held it even tighter.
The road was very quiet, so quiet that the only sound you could hear was the sound of firecrackers that had not yet been extinguished in the distance.
Shen Yanli looked at her profile for a while, and just when he thought she would not answer and was about to look away, the girl's soft yet firm voice suddenly sounded again beside him.
"Because I want to hold your hand."
She lowered her eyelashes, and her pretty little face was even redder than before. He didn't know if it was because the alcohol had not yet dissipated, or because of the cold wind, or maybe it was the reason he least wanted to admit.
He pursed his thin lips into a straight line and hesitated for two seconds before finally pretending not to hear what he said.
At this moment, he just wanted to go home quickly, because if he stayed with her any longer, he really couldn't guarantee that his soul wouldn't be sucked dry by the little goblin in front of him, and then he would do something that he would definitely regret.
When I got home, all the lights were off and it seemed that everyone was asleep.
With the help of moonlight, Chen Yanli held Zhou Yunwan's hand, walked lightly, and slowly walked through the living room and upstairs.
The whole process went surprisingly smoothly. Until he reached the door of her room, opened it and led her inside, she was obedient and didn't make any noise.
Chen Yanli originally wanted to stop there and let her go back to bed and fall asleep, but when he turned his head, he found that she was so sleepy that she was yawning, and her eyelids were fighting, not knowing whether to close or not. She didn't look like she could understand what he said.
Helplessly, he could only watch her go and let her sit down on the bed. He squatted down and wanted to take off her shoes for her, but she refused to let go of his hand. Even after he struggled a little, she frowned in dissatisfaction.
"No, I don't want to let go." Zhou Yunwan pouted to show her resistance.
Her voice sounded particularly clear in the dark night. Chen Yanli was afraid that she would get angry and wake up her parents on the other side, so she quickly bent down and made a hushing gesture.
She seemed to understand and stopped talking, but pulled his hand hard and they both fell to the ground.
