"It's me, Wanwan. The whole compound has a power outage, so I found two flashlights to illuminate."
Shen Yanli’s deep and pleasant voice came through a door, seeming a little vague.
There were rarely power outages in the compound, and the flashlights were kept in the storage room, so it took him some effort to find them.
"So there really was a power outage."
Zhou Yunwan couldn't help but mutter, then quickly pushed her hair out of her collar, raised her voice and said "wait a moment", and wanted to walk over to open the door.
Who knew that as soon as she took a step forward, she accidentally slipped and almost fell into the bathtub next to her that had not been cleaned up yet. Fortunately, she reacted in time and quickly grabbed the cabinet next to her for storage.
Otherwise you'll have to get wet in this cold weather.
Then her knee accidentally hit the cabinet, and her wrists and elbows felt a sharp pain, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Shen Yanli heard the noise coming from inside and frowned, “Are you okay?”
...
...
Listening to Shen Yanli's concerned voice, Zhou Yunwan ignored the pain in various parts of her body, her mind worked quickly, and she immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to enhance her relationship, and immediately swallowed back the word "it's okay" that came to her lips.
She then squeezed out two pitiful tears and sobbed, "Something happened! Wuuwuwu..."
Shen Yanli’s heart trembled.
After a while, the door in front of him opened a crack.
The person inside stuck out half of her head. She looked at him with red eyes and grievance. Her watery fox eyes were like a pool of autumn water, and tears were dangling on her eyelashes. It seemed that she could easily suck people in with just one glance. She looked pitiful and lovable.
Because of the fall just now, one of the sandals she was wearing when taking a shower was lost. The lighting was poor and she had no idea where it had fallen. She could only put one foot in the other shoe and hold on to the door frame to steady herself.
The bathroom floor was full of water, and she could easily slip if she wasn't careful. Seeing that she was about to collapse, Shen Yanli subconsciously reached out to hold her shoulders. His palms were cold, and he noticed that she hadn't dried her hair yet.
Her hair, as black as seaweed, was wet and was pushed aside to hang in front of her chest. Her fair and flawless skin was washed by the hot water, showing a faint pink color. The water drops that she hadn't had time to wipe dry rolled down her snow-white neck into her collar, making her look sexy and charming.
The distance was too close, and it was not right to withdraw my hand, nor was it right not to withdraw it, so I could only place my hand on it lightly, and my voice was hoarse and hoarse: "Why are you crying?"
"The floor was too slippery and I couldn't see clearly, so I accidentally slipped when I opened the door. My hands and legs hit the cabinet. It hurt so much, wuwuwu..." She was trying to act pitiful and weak, but she was really hurt.
Seeing that her eyes were filled with tears, Shen Yanli looked like she was really hurt, so he changed the hand that was supporting her shoulder to supporting her arm, and suggested: "I'll help you sit on the sofa first."
"Okay." Zhou Yunwan blinked her eyelashes and cooperated with him as she walked towards the living room.
Noticing her whole body leaning against him weakly, Shen Yanli froze all over, and quietly stepped aside. But as soon as he made a move, the person next to him said tenderly that she couldn't stand steadily, so he had no choice but to lean back again.
Waves of sweet and light fragrance kept flowing into his nose, as if it was wafting from her hair, or like the body odor emanating from her, occupying all his senses and invading his will.
Chen Yanli had never felt that the few steps from the bathroom to the living room were so far, but fortunately, no matter how far it was, there was an end. He helped her sit down on the sofa, and immediately wanted to withdraw his hand to get rid of the current situation that made his heart beat faster.
Leaving a flashlight behind, he returned to the bathroom, took two deep breaths, and his heartbeat calmed down. The mist condensed in the air blurred his vision. He glanced around twice and successfully found her left coat, shoes and towel on the clothes rack.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yunwan stared at the man's back as he walked away without hesitation, and sighed softly, thinking that he was really unromantic. She couldn't help but think that maybe he just didn't like women taking the initiative?
But you like the kind of little white flower who is reluctant but willing, with a blushing face?
But she has always adhered to the principle of taking the initiative. It's not that she is narcissistic, but with her appearance and figure, if not 100%, at least 80% of men have a good impression of her. On this basis, taking the initiative is the most efficient.
Chen Yanli has a good family background, high IQ and EQ, outstanding abilities, and a handsome appearance. This kind of configuration would make him a big shot at the level of the male protagonist in any period novel. Naturally, his vision is much higher than that of ordinary people, which can be seen from the fact that he still has no partner.
In order to get on board with this powerful person, she has been trying to please him intentionally or unintentionally since the beginning of Dahe Village. After all, no matter how the future develops, it is always a good idea to build a good relationship.
But ever since she had developed "bad thoughts" about him on the train, she had set her main goal on making him her boyfriend.
With the occasional casual physical contact and ambiguous verbal teasing, he was mostly overwhelmed and shy. It turned out that her taking the initiative was quite effective, at least at the beginning.
But in recent days, he seemed to have seen through her clumsy tricks and started to avoid her.
Not only did he go out early and come back late, but his attitude was not as enthusiastic as before. When he saw her, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He would hide if he could, and would just say hello and run away if he couldn't.
However, judging from the way he was worried about her just now, it didn't seem like he hated her...
In short, when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Just at this moment, the man came out of the bathroom. His tall figure was particularly prominent in the darkness. Before he came up to her, she pursed her lips and hummed in a teasing tone, "Brother, why are you so slow? I've been waiting for you for a long time. It's so cold."
Shen Yanli paused.
Although they were clearly complaints, they sounded so ambiguous and tender coming out of her mouth, with an upward ending, as charming as if she was acting coquettishly with her boyfriend.
Boy friend?
Shen Yanli was shocked by the word that popped up in his mind. Why did he think of this word? Could it be because of those beautiful and absurd dreams I had recently?
He frowned immediately and forced himself to put the inappropriate thoughts behind him.
Without saying a word, he walked over and put his coat on her, wrapped her hair with a towel, and finally placed soft cotton slippers at her feet.
After doing all this, he wanted to get up, but at this moment, a pair of cool little hands suddenly held up his face, and his sight was forced to move upwards to meet the pair of crimson fox eyes.
She stared at him and asked softly, "Brother, do you hate me?"
