Chapter 24: He wants to see
"Didn't you say last time that you would return my clothes to me?"
"That's right, now we don't have to go through so much trouble."
The man spoke slowly, his dark eyes looking at the woman's pretty face with a meaningful look.
These words completely cut off Xu Xiaoyue's retreat.
No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't find any reason to refuse.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoyue deeply experienced what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.
But Yan Ye was still fiddling with the bell, urging, "Get in the car, it will be dark if you delay any longer."
Xu Xiaoyue had to sit in the back seat.
"Where do you live?" Yan Ye asked.
"I live in the alley on Lianda Street, east of the state-owned supermarket."
Yan Ye raised his eyebrows slightly. He was very familiar with that place. The hutongs were demolished two years ago and many people moved away.
He knew the remaining families, but had never seen Xu Xiaoyue.
Xu Xiaoyue was still unaware that her little trick had been seen through. She grabbed the man's clothes and quietly raised her eyes to look at his back.
She realized belatedly that the man in the cabin was in a bad mood, and it seemed that he was dissatisfied with her answer when he asked about their relationship.
But they had no relationship at all. If you tried to link them together, it was just a few accidental encounters and a life-saving favor.
Furthermore, when Xu Xiaoyue thought of the plot in the book, she had a natural fear of Yan Ye.
However, no matter how slow Xu Xiaoyue was, she still noticed some clues at this time.
In that era of strict separation between men and women and scarcity of supplies, who would invite a lesbian whom he was not very familiar with to have two meals for no reason, and sit so close to her in a small room?
Could it be that... this guy is interested in her?
Xu Xiaoyue is still confident in her charm.
She can be said to be a model of beauty from childhood to adulthood. Even when she was in kindergarten, whenever there was a stage performance, the teacher would always arrange her to be the first one.
Of course, she also met many people who were jealous of her. Someone once came up to her and swore that people who were good-looking when they were young would often become ugly when they grew up, and even cited several celebrities as examples to make her case.
Unfortunately, whether in her childhood or adolescence, Xu Xiaoyue has never been ugly, and she has always had many suitors around her.
Humans are visual animals, and Xu Xiaoyue doesn't think there is anything wrong with appreciating beautiful things.
But the person he is facing is Yan Ye. Will he really have a crush on her just because of her appearance?
Before she could think further, the man pressed the brakes and stopped steadily. "arrive."
His tone was calm, without a trace of unnecessary emotion, as if he was just a most competent driver.
Xu Xiaoyue let go of her hand and jumped out of the car carefully.
"Come on, it's getting dark, I'll take you inside."
Yan Ye parked the car with one hand and stood in front of the woman.
Xu Xiaoyue quickly shook her head, "No, no need, I can go back by myself."
"How can that be? I'm still waiting to wear that dress." Yan Ye's mouth corners slightly raised. He was obviously smiling, but Xu Xiaoyue felt a chill on her back, as if her thoughts were seen through.
If she really told him her address, Yan Ye might immediately find out that she lived next door to him, just separated by a wall.
"I'll give you the clothes tomorrow. It's not convenient today." Xu Xiaoyue lowered her head, not daring to look at the man.
"Comrade Xu, please tell me why it's so inconvenient." His voice was low and mellow, which made Xu Xiaoyue's ears itchy.
But that's not the point.
The point is, this man insisted on going home with her.
Xu Xiaoyue bit her fingers and was silent for a moment. When she raised her head again, her eyes were filled with tears.
"You wouldn't know."
The woman cried, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Yan Ye was slightly stunned, "What happened again?"
"I am staying at my aunt's house. My aunt's brother-in-law...is not very friendly to me."
"If she knew it was a man who sent me back home so late at night, she might have made up stories about me behind my back."
She seemed to have made a great decision before she spoke out these words.
When Yan Ye heard this, his face instantly turned cold, his eyes were as cold as ice, and his lips were tightly pursed. This look alone was enough to scare people.
“They dare!”
Xu Xiaoyue secretly observed the man's expression, and just by looking at it he looked like he was furious.
Xu Xiaoyue licked her lips and said the second half of the sentence without blushing or beating her heart.
"You have never experienced what it's like to live under someone else's roof. Last time, he lectured me in front of everyone and told me to read books and try to be a good citizen."
She didn't lie. Wasn't the book that Yan Ye asked that person to bring to her a lesson to her in front of everyone?
"That's outrageous."
The man spat out these words one by one from his thin lips, with a biting chill, and his brows were furrowed so tightly that it seemed as if he could pinch a mosquito to death.
After a few brief contacts with Xu Xiaoyue, Yan Ye could feel the purity in her. When she smiled, her curved almond eyes showed a naivety that was ignorant of the world.
She didn't expect that someone would dare to make her suffer like this when he couldn't see her.
Hearing her words, Yan Ye felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.
This is exactly the effect Xu Xiaoyue wanted, so she struck while the iron was hot.
"So, if the neighbors see me, they will talk about me behind my back."
"It's okay to talk about me behind my back, but I'm afraid that my brother-in-law will hear about it and think I'm a dishonest person..."
Xu Xiaoyue's voice became lower and lower, and she stopped there.
"This is really too much. Bullying a female comrade like you is nothing." His tone was full of suspicion.
"Yes, I don't think he's a real man at all, just a villain!"
"Shameless guy." Yan Ye cursed, unable to hold back his expression for a rare time.
Xu Xiaoyue curled the corners of her mouth hard to hold back from laughing out loud.
I didn't expect that one day, she would be able to complain about me in front of me, and the key is that she got recognition.
"So, don't make it difficult for me. If you really follow me back today, the rumors about me will spread everywhere tomorrow."
"As for the clothes, I'll find time to bring them to you, okay?"
Xu Xiaoyue blinked her watery eyes and looked at the man with hope in her eyes.
Although they had not been together for long, she had gotten to know the man's temper a little bit. If she tried to force it with him, she would definitely not be able to win.
Only if you are gentle and go along with his temper will he be obedient.
Just like now, Yan Ye agreed without much consideration.
As Xu Xiaoyue's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, the sky gradually darkened.
Yan Ye took a long stride, got on his bicycle, and followed the woman slowly.
He wanted to see who the uncle was who dared to bully Xu Xiaoyue.
