Chapter 114: Waiting for the Rabbit
It must be said that Xu Xiaoyue's nervous mood was relieved by the man's interruption.
Liu Ye frowned. She still couldn't understand why the girl suddenly wanted to move out when she was living well there.
"Xiaoyue, have you thought it through?" Liu Ye looked at the person and asked.
"Aunt Liu, I have made my decision. Thank you all for taking care of me over the past few months."
Xu Xiaoyue knew that Liu Ye was concerned about her, so she widened her eyes and imitated the adults, expressing her gratitude in a serious manner.
The girl's eyes were wide open and her tone was full of seriousness. Seeing her like this, Yan Ye was inexplicably reminded of a puppy he had raised in the yard when he was a child.
It’s not accurate to say that it’s raised. It’s just a little fellow that wandered here and ate food from many families.
Yan Ye was not interested in small animals, but when the stray puppy would wag its tail and stare at him with its round black eyes, he would occasionally give it some food.
The girl's expression at this moment was exactly the same as that of the little stray dog.
"Aunt." Zheng Jiaojiao spoke at the right time. She almost hated Liu Ye in her heart.
Why should she let herself go back? Even though that bitch Xu Xiaoyue said she wanted to leave, she was reluctant to let her go.
"You are all adults, just make your own decisions." Liu Ye said lightly.
With her words, Xu Xiaoyue's tense expression relaxed. She realized belatedly that Yan Ye was still holding her hand under the table. She pulled hard before pulling it out.
The small hand wrapped in the big palm was suddenly pulled out, leaving only the residual warmth.
The man next to him raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, his dark eyes looked at Xu Xiaoyue with an ambiguous look.
He is really an expert at destroying bridges after crossing them. Once he gets the benefits, he won't want to keep them for even a minute.
Xu Xiaoyue is really afraid of this man now. They had agreed to have a secret relationship, but now the man is almost standing on the stool and announcing it to the world.
The man was like a frog in boiling water, forcing her to adapt and get used to it step by step.
After dinner, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Xu Xiaoyue took her clothes and looked out the door again.
The water heater in the room was broken, so if she wanted to take a shower she had to go downstairs. Thinking of the experience of running into Yan Ye last night, Xu Xiaoyue learned her lesson this time.
She went down at the exact time, 11 o'clock in the evening, so there was no way she would run into anyone who was still awake.
The living room was quiet at night. There were no lights on, and only a hint of light came through the moonlight coming through the window.
Xu Xiaoyue has always been afraid of the dark. Not only that, she also has mild night blindness.
But compared to lying in bed in her pajamas covered in dust and dirt after walking outside all day, she felt that night blindness and fear of the dark were nothing.
Xu Xiaoyue quietly walked to the bathroom, holding on to the wall, and quietly turned on the light in the bathroom. When she was about to take a shower quietly, the person sitting on the sofa spoke.
"At this time, I almost thought there was a thief in the house."
It was pitch dark when a man's voice suddenly came. Xu Xiaoyue was so scared that she almost screamed, but she calmed down after hearing the second half of the sentence.
In this family, only Yan Ye can speak with such an insulting tone.
Perhaps because someone was with her, Xu Xiaoyue's fear disappeared. "You are not sleeping at night. As an old man, you should pay more attention to your health."
The man chuckled and said calmly, "Yes, I am not like the young people. It is so late and they still have the energy to come down to take a shower."
Yan Ye cleverly used the word "move" to vividly show Xu Xiaoyue's tiptoeing image.
The teasing meaning in Yan Ye's words was obvious. Xu Xiaoyue lowered her head out of guilt and did not dare to refute. After all, that was how she came down.
The lights were on, but from Xu Xiaoyue's position, she still couldn't see the expression on Yan Ye's face. A gust of wind blew in from the window, and she shrank her neck.
"If you don't wash now, the water will get cold." The man urged.
"You don't need to tell me." Xu Xiaoyue muttered softly as she closed the door and quietly turned on the shower.
The moment the hot water falls on your body, the temperature is just right.
A few days ago, she came down to take a shower. Because it was too late and the water heater in the bathroom was not turned on, it had almost cooled down and it was still a little cold when it got on her body.
The water temperature tonight is much higher than before, and it is just the right temperature for showering on the body.
Outside, Yan Ye was still sitting on the sofa with a majestic look on his face. He subconsciously touched his pocket, but put his hand back the moment it touched the cigarette box.
The man's black eyes stared straight at the bathroom through the glass door. The sound of water splashing could be heard from inside, and mist spread from inside the door to outside.
It was already late autumn, and Yan Ye felt a little hot for no reason. He lowered his head and took a sip of cold water.
After waiting for so many days, I finally got something.
Taking advantage of the hot water today, Xu Xiaoyue washed herself carefully from hair to heels. After more than half an hour, the bathroom door finally opened with a "click".
Water was still dripping from her hair. She quickly wiped it with a towel and went upstairs.
"Did you finish washing?"
Yan Ye glanced at his watch. Almost forty minutes had passed and it was already twelve o'clock in the morning.
"Why are you still here?" Xu Xiaoyue paused on the stairs, her tone sounding a little incredulous.
She took a rather long bath this time, and she was thinking that Yan Ye had already left.
Just as he was surprised, Yan Ye came forward with a tense face, grabbed a handful of the wet hair, and frowned, "You're going upstairs without drying your hair? Is your family in need of a hair dryer or something?"
He spoke to her with the same attitude as he was training his soldiers. Xu Xiaoyue was upset and pulled her hair out of the man's hand.
"Your hair dryer is too hot and very heavy."
The hair dryers of this era were completely different from those of later generations. Not only could the wind speed not be controlled, but they were also very heavy and your hands would become sore after using them for two minutes.
Except for the first time when she used it because it was novelty, Xu Xiaoyue never used a hair dryer again. She would rather let her hair dry slowly while it is wet.
Yan Ye was stunned for a moment after hearing this. The hair dryer at home was basically used by Liu Ye. He got it from the army. Many people wanted it but couldn't buy it. This was the first time he heard that a hair dryer was not easy to use.
The man was silent for a moment, picked up the handkerchief beside him and carefully wiped the ends of Xu Xiaoyue's hair, then draped his clothes over her shoulders.
"Come upstairs and I'll blow you."
The older generation said that if you don't dry your hair after washing it, you will have headaches when you get old. Just looking at Xu Xiaoyue's nonchalant look, you can tell that she has no such awareness at all.
Xu Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, looked up and met the man's eyes, and inexplicably felt a sense of danger.
Her intuition told her that it would be best to listen to the man at this time.
The hair dryer was buzzing beside her ears. Yan Ye actually held the hair dryer in one hand and fiddled with her black hair with the other hand. He started blowing her hair and asked her if she felt hot while doing so.
Xu Xiaoyue shook her head and took the time to look around the man's bedroom.
The whole house is decorated in black and gray, with cold and serious tones, which is very consistent with this person's image.
The only color in the room right now was the light yellow pajamas she was wearing. She was like a little lamb that had strayed into a wolf's den, still looking around in confusion.
