Chapter 77 (First Release)
Mu Xijue's style of doing things has always been that of a villain who is up to no good, making him unpredictable. The fact that he knows in advance what is going to happen in the East District proves this point.
Ning Wanwan even suspected that the other party might be the final boss in the story.
But for the "final boss" to actually change the signature on an invitation letter that had just left her hands is just too... too low-class!
If it's really just about watching her make a scene... that's ridiculous. It's more likely that there's some kind of conspiracy or trickery involved.
"Wanwan, what's wrong?" Zhou Yanyao asked when Ning Wanwan didn't speak for a long time. "Is there a problem?"
Ning Wanwan snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head: "No..."
She glanced at Zhou Yanyao; his expression seemed genuine, his dark eyes revealing both doubt and concern.
The problem with the invitation letter probably has nothing to do with him, and he did such a diligent job, keeping the letter with him at all times and checking it so carefully.
Mu Xijue's involvement has nothing to do with Zhou Yanyao; it's all because of her.
Realizing this, Ning Wanwan felt a little guilty. How could she doubt such a good and trustworthy important male supporting character?
And then, so coldly and heartlessly, they said they didn't remember the request.
If someone else has fulfilled their promise and done what they promised, but you claim you don't remember it, wouldn't that be seen as cheating in their eyes?
Thinking of this, Ning Wanwan realized her own willfulness, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quietly tried to smooth things over by bringing up the promise she had previously denied.
“Excuse me, I remember now… You can tell me what you need now.”
The girl lowered her head, seemingly feeling somewhat guilty. A light blush spread across her cheeks like blooming cherry blossoms. Her other hand gripped the hem of her clothes, her slender, white fingers curling nervously.
Seeing the girl's helpless expression, Zhou Yanyao suddenly smiled.
"Wanwan, you are so cute."
Ning Wanwan, caught off guard by the praise: "
She was somewhat bewildered, and under Zhou Yanyao's focused gaze, her cheeks flushed even more. She couldn't help but glare at him: "Why, why are you suddenly saying that?"
"I just suddenly felt like sighing, sighing." Zhou Yanyao rested his chin on his hand, his gaze slowly scanning the changes in the girl's expression.
His smile deepened, and his voice lowered slightly.
“I always felt that Wanwan was a very distant person. She didn’t like to talk to others and her emotions rarely changed.”
"But today, it seems like I saw a different Wanwan. She looks cute when she's unhappy, and she looks cute when she blushes."
Ning Wanwan: "..."
I was so embarrassed I blushed! What's so interesting about that!
Even after being given the cold shoulder, he can still smile so happily!
Ning Wanwan took a deep breath, trying to shake off the conversation and steer the topic back on track.
"So Zhou Yanyao, what is your request?"
I hope you won't make any overly difficult requests.
Ning Wanwan thought for a moment, then quickly added, "But I have something urgent to do today. If your request isn't urgent, I'll do it for you later..."
"There's no rush."
Zhou Yanyao shook his head, his face still bearing a bright smile and an undisguised, urgent longing.
"Moreover, for you, Wanwan, it is a very, very simple thing."
"And Wanwan, you can do it now."
His eyes lingered on her for a moment, then his gaze shifted downwards, landing on her hand holding the ice cream.
The boy still didn't get up, tilting his head slightly back and pressing his face close to her calf, like a warm and loyal big dog.
However, his tall, muscular physique and the deep, dark eyes that gazed at her inexplicably exuded a sense of aggression.
Ning Wanwan was a little nervous and couldn't help but want to move away, but because she was trapped in the chair, she could only lean back slightly to try to move away a little.
"What do you want me to do?" Ning Wanwan pursed her slightly dry lips and asked softly.
Zhou Yanyao blinked and said in a relaxed tone, "Wanwan, it's really simple. What I want to say is, can you give me some ice cream?"
Ning Wanwan paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the ice cream in her hand: "But this is for Jiang Chengran..."
"But Jiang Chengran isn't with you right now. We don't even know where he is. If you don't eat it soon, this ice cream will melt."
Zhou Yanyao's tone was very considerate of her, and impeccable.
"And," he sighed again, his eyes drooping, and said with a hint of grievance, "I'm so hot, Wanwan."
When Ning Wanwan heard his words, she instinctively looked at him and noticed details she hadn't seen before, such as his sweaty hair and the beads of sweat sliding down his forehead.
Ning Wanwan suddenly remembered why he was so hot: it was because she had twisted her ankle, and Zhou Yanyao was so worried that he had carried her all the way here in his heavy mascot costume.
Thinking back to how she had doubted him before, and how he was so sincere, Ning Wanwan felt a little guilty again.
What's more, I promised to grant the other party one request, but all they made was such a simple request: they wanted an ice cream.
Thinking about it this way, I feel even more guilty.
“…Okay, then you can have this ice cream.” Ning Wanwan held up the ice cream that Jiang Chengran had specifically requested, intending to hand it to Zhou Yanyao.
Zhou Yanyao seemed to hesitate for a moment, then shook his head and did not take it.
Ning Wanwan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Wanwan, my hands just had some ointment on them, and the smell is a bit strong. It's not really appropriate for me to hold food like that." Zhou Yanyao looked at her with some difficulty.
Ning Wanwan: "...Eh?"
She looked at Zhou Yanyao's hands. His fingers were long and well-defined, showing great strength. His fingertips were clean, with no trace of anything on them.
However, it's perfectly normal for the other person to have just applied ointment and massaged my ankle, so there's still a lingering smell of medicine.
It doesn't seem quite appropriate to be holding an ice cream.
"Then, what should we do?" she asked, somewhat confused. "How about I buy you a new one next week when school starts..."
Zhou Yanyao shook his head again, a smile playing on his lips: "Wanwan, there's no need for that."
He pointed to Ning Wanwan's hand and said quite naturally, "You can just feed me."
Ning Wanwan: "..."
Ning Wanwan looked at him blankly, "I...I'll feed you."
“Yes, but Wanwan, you don’t need to move. You can just sit here,” Zhou Yanyao said. “I’ll take care of the rest, like this.”
As he finished speaking, he leaned his upper body closer to Ning Wanwan, as if demonstrating, and slowly bent down and took a bite of the ice cream in Ning Wanwan's hand.
Then he ate the slightly melted tip of the ice cream, looked up at Ning Wanwan, and smiled as if stars were twinkling in his dark eyes.
"Wanwan, is this okay?"
During this process, Ning Wanwan could even feel his hot breath spraying onto the back of her hand.
Ning Wanwan: "..."
For some reason, even though the other person didn't do anything out of line or touch her at all, Ning Wanwan still felt very uncomfortable.
"Wanwan, is it okay?" His voice lowered further, and he moved his upper body closer to her, as if waiting for her answer.
His every gesture conveyed the message that he wanted to get closer and closer to her.
Unfortunately, Ning Wanwan wasn't sensitive to these things. She just felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, but upon closer reflection, it seemed there was no reason to refuse.
"Maybe...?" she said uncertainly in a low voice.
A bright smile spread across Zhou Yanyao's handsome face.
"Okay, I'll continue."
He lowered his head again and took a bite of ice cream.
A black head rested beside her hand. Ning Wanwan froze, hoping the other person would finish the ice cream quickly.
There was a strange, subtle feeling, like feeding and soothing a somewhat restless wild beast, but that feeling quickly faded away.
After all, Zhou Yanyao is a very rational, good-tempered, sunny, and cheerful person who has nothing to do with wild animals.
If we're talking about wild beasts, Jiang Chengran is more like one.
As Zhou Yanyao raised his head, Ning Wanwan saw that the ice cream in her hand had been finished and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to throw away the paper cup that held the ice cream, Zhou Yanyao gently held her fingers and removed the paper cup.
"Thank you..." Ning Wanwan hadn't finished speaking when she saw Zhou Yanyao staring intently at her hand and asking with concern.
"Wanwan, your fingers are dirty, can I clean them for you?"
Ning Wanwan looked at her hands and realized that melted ice cream syrup had dripped onto her fingers and the back of her hands and was still sliding down, almost staining her cuffs.
"!" Ning Wanwan quickly tried to find some tissues to wipe her hands.
Zhou Yanyao muttered to himself, "Never mind, it's almost too late."
"It wouldn't be good if you got Wanwan's clothes dirty."
Then he lowered his head again.
Ning Wanwan immediately felt a warm sensation licking her fingertips.
And there was a tendency to continue licking the syrup clean down his fingers.
Ning Wanwan: "!!!"
She immediately pulled her fingers away from Zhou Yanyao, shoved his head, and her cheeks flushed red: "What are you doing?!"
Why did you suddenly lick her hand?
The girl's voice was trembling.
So cute, Wanwan.
Zhou Yanyao stared at the girl without blinking, but did not answer her question.
Instead, they made increasingly demanding requests.
"Wanwan, it's not clean yet... I'll clean it for you, then you can stop yelling at me, okay?"
"Then, you can scold me however you want."
Ning Wanwan looked back at him in shock. She had thought that Zhou Yanyao would regain his senses and realize that he had done wrong under her resistance.
But she never expected that he would say something that would leave her completely stunned.
He actually wanted to continue!
How could you possibly ask that!
You can tell right away that there's no way you could agree to that!
"No way." Ning Wanwan refused without hesitation, taking it for granted.
She was about to stand up and get away from Zhou Yanyao, who seemed a little abnormal, when she heard him pause for a moment, sigh, and continue speaking.
"Wanwan, didn't you want to know the location of the amusement park's control room?"
Ning Wanwan paused as she was about to leave, her gaze sharpening as she looked at him.
"Wanwan, would you like to make another transaction that's very simple for you?"
