"Only Act Like a Baby to Me"
Wen's favorite plum wine
It is early September and the remaining heat of summer has not yet completely dissipated.
Several planes flew across the sky, leaving behind several intertwined faint white lines on the blue sky.
The girl, dragging a lotus pink suitcase, walked slowly out of the airport corridor along with her fellow passengers.
Her long black hair gently draped over her shoulders, and she wore a beige baseball cap neatly on her head. Under the wide brim of the hat, her pink cheeks and delicate chin were faintly visible.
She was looking down at her phone.
On the phone screen with the cherry blossom sticker on it, the boot animation has come to an end, and the Chibi Maruko-chan themed screensaver slowly appears.
She skillfully entered the power-on password and then clicked into the address book.
"Mom, I'm getting off the plane."
A sweet and soft girl's voice sounded, well-behaved and with a slight smile.
"Rui Rui, we're getting off the plane."
Liu Manzhi's efficient and clear voice came from the microphone.
"Your Aunt An just contacted me. She had something urgent and couldn't go to the airport, so she asked her son to pick you up. Did you meet him?"
Aunt An, also known as An Xin, is Liu Manzhi’s best friend. Chi Rui will live in her house until the college entrance examination.
Chi Rui heard from her mother that she lived with Aunt An for a period of time when she was a child.
But she has no impression of it now.
"Not yet." She said softly, "I just walked out and haven't reached the exit yet."
The girl held the cell phone in her fair little hands and looked up as she walked.
She has a pair of lively almond-shaped eyes, which are watery and embedded in her palm-sized face. She is like a newborn deer, making people feel an inexplicable desire to protect her.
Several people waiting to be picked up at the exit were stunned by her sudden look up, with surprise in their eyes.
Chi Rui ignored the gazes from others.
She dragged her suitcase to the exit and stood there, looking around.
This is the first time she has come to Xuancheng since she grew up.
The temperature in Xuancheng was lower than that in Nancheng. She was only wearing a mid-length sleeve chiffon dress and felt the coolness as soon as she got off the plane.
"What does Aunt An's son look like?" she asked softly.
"What did he look like..." Liu Manzhi recalled.
"He's tall and thin, very handsome, with a distinctive temperament. You can spot him at a glance even if he's standing in a crowd."
Chi Rui listened and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
Her mother is a gold medal agent with very high standards. To receive such an evaluation from her, Aunt An's son must be very handsome.
"That's right." At this time, Liu Manzhi's voice sounded again.
"His name is Ye Minghan."
Ye Minghan... Chi Rui whispered the name and felt something strange in his heart.
"He is three years older than you. When you meet him, you have to call him brother, okay?"
"Okay, Mom."
"Forget it. Wait a minute. I'll go look through your Aunt An's photo album and send you the photos when I find them."
Liu Manzhi hung up the phone.
Chi Rui put away his phone, raised his head again, and looked for someone who fit the description at the exit.
"Tall, thin, and good-looking?"
Not far away, a figure half leaning on the railing caught her attention.
He was a tall young man, about 20 years old.
He was wearing a snow-white shirt and royal blue suit pants. He had a tall and straight figure, deep-cut facial features, and was handsome and noble, with a clean and elegant temperament.
He crossed his long legs slightly, his posture was casual, his expression was calm and indifferent, giving people a cold and distant feeling.
Chi Rui couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Such a good-looking person is rare even on TV. Could he be the person my mother was talking about?
She hesitated for a moment and was about to walk over with her suitcase.
But just as she took a step, a figure suddenly flashed in front of her and someone blocked her way.
Ye Minghan was leaning against the railing, talking on the phone with his head tilted to one side.
"Hey, Mr. Ye, there are a lot of things waiting for you to deal with in the company. Where have you been this afternoon?"
The sound on the other end of the phone was a bit loud, and it was obvious that the person over there was in a state of panic.
Ye Minghan frowned and held the phone further away.
After the person over there finished nagging, he said, "You can do whatever you want. I have something important to do over here."
"Business? What business is so important?"
"You don't need to know, hang up."
As soon as I hung up the phone, the WeChat message alert on my phone vibrated a few times.
[Ahan, did you go to pick up Ruirui? It's five o'clock now, she should have arrived.] [My cocktail party will end at about 6 o'clock. I will try to leave early. You take Ruirui home first. And you better control your bad temper and don't scare the little girl, okay?] [Picture] [This is Ruirui's current photo. I forgot to send it to you this morning.] [You little bastard, why don't you write me a reply! I'm telling you, if you dare not pick up Ruirui, I'll make you suffer when I get home!] Ye Minghan curled his lips, ignoring his mother's threatening words, and his eyes fell on the photo she sent.
The girl was about 16 or 17 years old, petite, and her blue and white school uniform was a little loose on her. She stood at the school gate with "Nancheng No. 1 Middle School" printed on it, smiling at the camera.
Pure, sweet, and full of vitality.
Ye Minghan stared at the photo for about ten seconds before he looked away. His expression was indifferent, but his slender fingers had already tapped the screen to save the photo.
"Little girl, are you waiting for someone?" At this time, a man's voice sounded beside him.
Ye Minghan's heart moved and he looked over in the direction of the voice.
A few meters away from him, there stood a scoundrel-looking man who was stopping a girl to talk.
The girl had her back to this side, and her slender and frail body looked particularly petite in front of the man.
She tightly gripped the handle of the suitcase, her fair and delicate hands turning red from the force.
"Uncle, I don't know you."
The girl's voice was gentle, with a hint of the soft Wu dialect, but one could also hear a hint of vigilance.
"uncle?"
Ren Fang's face froze. Although he had a beard, he was only 25 years old, okay? He couldn't be called uncle, right?
But looking at the delicate little fairy in front of him, he sneered again: "Hey, I'm not an uncle. It's your Aunt An who asked me to pick you up."
"Aunt An?" Chi Rui blinked and looked at the man in front of him hesitantly.
He is indeed tall and not fat.
Although he had an untidy beard, his facial features were quite handsome. It was the teasing and mocking look between his brows that made her frown.
Finally, her eyes fell on the suitcase he was dragging with his left hand.
Ren Fang also noticed her gaze, rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, I just came back from abroad, and Aunt An asked me to pick you up on the way."
Aunt An? Chi Rui noticed something was wrong.
She stared at him warily and took two steps back.
"Hey, stop talking and come with me. The car is waiting outside." Seeing Chi Rui dodging, Ren Fang reached out to grab her hand regardless.
He had just been listening nearby and knew that this girl was in Xuancheng for the first time and she didn't even know what the person who answered the phone looked like.
He had to get her away quickly. Once outside, this little girl would never be able to escape from his grasp.
His movements were so sudden that Chi Rui couldn't dodge in time and was about to be grabbed by him by the wrist.
At this moment, a white and slender hand suddenly stretched out from the side.
The hand passed over her and grabbed Ren Fang. At the same time, a low and cold voice sounded from behind her.
"With you? Where are you taking her?"
Chi Rui felt his heart skip a beat.
She turned her head slightly and saw a tall figure who had come to her side without her noticing.
The man was very tall, much taller than the man who was stopping her.
He stared at the bad guy, his lips tightly pursed, his brows sharp, a little unruly, and with an indescribable coldness.
Isn’t this... the person standing by the railing just now?
Chi Rui blinked and suddenly realized the current situation - he grabbed the man's hand from behind her and half-protected her in his arms.
They were so close that she could faintly feel the warmth coming from him. A blush crept up the girl's cheeks, and even the tips of her ears were stained with a light red.
Chi Rui lowered his head slightly and moved to the side quietly.
"You...what are you doing? Let go!" After being caught, Ren Fang was a little furious.
"Minding your own business, huh? Don't think you're great just because you're handsome. Believe it or not, I'll beat you up so hard that you won't even recognize your parents."
Ye Minghan glanced at him indifferently without saying anything, but just exerted some force with his hands.
Ren Fang's face turned pale and he fell to the ground screaming in pain.
"Let go...let go!"
He struggled hard but couldn't get free. He got mad and clenched his other hand into a fist and hit Ye Minghan in the face.
Chi Rui screamed in fright.
However, Ye Minghan stretched out his hand to block and easily pushed him away. When Ren Fang bent his knees to charge at him, Ye Minghan dodged him nimbly and kicked him behind the knee. Ren Fang fell to the ground and was restrained by his hands behind his back.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I won’t dare to do it again. I won’t dare to do it again. Please forgive me…”
Their fight attracted a crowd of onlookers. People were whispering and discussing the fight, and some even took out their cell phones to record the scene.
The commotion here attracted the attention of the airport staff, and several people who looked like security guards ran over.
Only then did Ye Minghan let go of his hand.
At this time, Ren Fang's palm had been deformed by his pinching, and it was swollen like a sausage and he couldn't move it at all.
"What's going on?" The leading security guard frowned and looked at Chi Rui and Ye Minghan.
"Uncle, he is a bad guy." Chi Rui said quickly, "I don't know him, but he insisted on taking me away."
The girl was petite, pretty, and spoke softly and sweetly, which reminded the security guard of his own daughter who was still in school. He made a judgment in his mind, and his attitude towards Ren Fang became worse.
"It's unfair! I...I came to pick her up..." Ren Fang defended.
"Then tell me, what is my name?"
Although Chi Rui's voice was soft, she remained calm. Facing so many people watching, she did not show any fear.
Ren Fang remained silent. He was not the person who picked her up at the airport, so how could he know her name?
The situation became clear at once. No one would help this kind of black-hearted person who pretended to be a pick-up person to defraud money and sex, and might even abduct and sell women and children. Otherwise, what would they do if they were considered as an accomplice?
The airport staff asked for some more information and then took Ren Fang away.
There was nothing exciting to watch, so the crowd dispersed. Chi Rui stood there, and his nervous mood slowly calmed down.
She curled the corners of her lips and was about to thank the man next to her when she saw him suddenly turn his head and meet her gaze.
He has a pair of peach blossom eyes with slightly raised corners, and his pupils are as black as ink, with an indescribable coldness and unruliness.
He stared at her straight, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Chi Rui looked back at him puzzledly, with clear eyes.
"I'm Ye Minghan."
The man lowered his eyebrows and slightly raised his thin lips. Although his voice was flat, it seemed to carry a bit of warmth.
Chi Rui blinked and nodded politely:
"Ah, hello, I'm Chi Rui."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the temperature around her drop by a few degrees. The man in front of her, who had been a little gentle, turned cold again.
Chi Rui clenched her little hands and looked at him in confusion.
Did she say something wrong? Why did she feel like he was angry?
"Let's go." Ye Ming said coldly, and without paying any attention to her, he walked straight to the exit of the hall.
"Ah?" Chi Rui stood there in a daze, "Where are you going?"
"go home."
"But I..."
Just as she was about to say that she didn't know him, she suddenly stopped.
Wait, he just said... his name is Ye Minghan?
"Are you not leaving yet?" Ye Minghan turned sideways and looked at her impatiently.
Chi Rui hesitated for a moment, then followed him in small steps. While walking behind him, she cautiously made a phone call.
"Rui Rui, you're here?"
The call was quickly connected, and Ye's mistress An Xin said enthusiastically on the other end, "Aunt An suddenly had something to do today, so she won't be back until later. I asked A-Han to pick you up. Did you see him?"
Ahan?
Chi Rui glanced at the man's back and nodded: "Yeah, I saw him."
"Oh, that's great." An Xin smiled, "Rui Rui, let him answer the phone. I want to talk to him."
"Oh, okay, Aunt An." Chi Rui responded.
Just looking at Ye Minghan's cold back and thinking of his cold face just now, she couldn't help but hesitate.
"Ye...Brother Ye..."
Her voice was gentle and soft, and seemed a little quiet in the noisy airport.
Just when she thought Ye Minghan didn't hear her and was about to shout again, the man walking in front of her suddenly stopped.
She failed to stop in time and almost hit his back.
Ye Minghan turned his head to look at her, his dark eyes staring straight at her.
Chi Rui blushed a little and quickly took a few steps back to put some distance between them.
Just as I was about to hand him the phone, I saw the man narrow his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice: "What did you call me just now?"
Chi Rui observed his expression, unsure whether he was angry or not, and swallowed the word "brother" unconsciously.
She thought about it and changed her words:
"Mr. Ye...Mr. Ye, Auntie An wants you to answer the phone."
Mr. Ye?
Ye Minghan stared at the girl, his thin lips pursed into a straight line.
However, he didn't say anything. He just snatched her phone with a dark face, put it to her ear, and said in a somewhat aggressive tone: "What?"
"You little brat, why haven't you replied to the message I just sent you?"
An Xin threatened on the other end of the phone.
"You better control your bad temper. If you scare Rui Rui, I will never forgive you!"
Ye Minghan rolled his eyes, said a few perfunctory words and then hung up the call.
"Return it to you."
He took the girl's hand and placed the phone in her palm.
The back of her hand was held by the man's big palm, their skin touching, and Chi Rui could feel the scorching temperature from his palm.
She pulled her hand back quickly as if she was burned.
"Oh...oh, okay."
n bs She held the phone tightly, lowered her head and responded softly.
The brim of the hat covered her little face, and Ye Minghan couldn't see her expression at the moment.
He frowned and reached out to take off her baseball cap.
Suddenly, there was a light in front of his eyes. Chi Rui was stunned for a moment and raised his head blankly. The two people's eyes were intertwined.
Looking at the girl's clear face, Ye Minghan raised his eyebrows slightly, and finally a hint of satisfaction appeared in his expression.
"Let's go."
He took her baseball cap in his hand, played with it, and walked straight ahead.
Chi Rui stood there in a daze for a moment. Seeing him walking away, he hurriedly dragged his suitcase to catch up with him, and followed Ye Minghan closely.
"Gulululu-Gulululu-"
The two of them didn't speak along the way, with only the sound of the suitcase wheels rolling across the ground.
Ye Minghan's car was parked not far away and they arrived soon.
He opened the trunk and stood there waiting, without any intention of showing any gentlemanly manners in front of the girl.
Chi Rui was not squeamish either. She retracted the suitcase handle, grabbed the handle tightly, and lifted the suitcase up.
It’s just that the height of the trunk was a bit awkward, and she tried very hard but was still just a little bit short.
Seeing that the girl's face was slightly red from holding back her thoughts, and she didn't ask him for help after failing several times, Ye Minghan couldn't help but pursed his lips.
Just when Chi Rui was about to lose hold, a hand reached out from the side and held the handle of the suitcase together with hers.
She felt her hand lighten and subconsciously raised her head, meeting Ye Minghan's gaze.
There was not much emotion in his eyes; they were dull, distant and cold.
She blinked slightly, loosened her hand and took a step back, watching him put the suitcase away and then slam the trunk shut.
"Thanks."
Chi Rui breathed a sigh of relief, patted her red little hands, and said to Ye Minghan with a smile.
However, Ye Minghan had already turned and walked towards the driver's seat without responding to her.
Chi Rui tilted his head and looked at him. Seeing him get into the car, he did not dare to be negligent and followed him to sit in the passenger seat.
As soon as she fastened her seat belt, the cell phone in her bag vibrated.
It’s a WeChat message from Liu Manzhi.
Mother: [Picture]
Mom: [Rui Rui, did you see him? I sent you a photo, but it's a little blurry, take a look first.] Chi Rui: [Yeah, I saw him, he just got in the car.] As for the little episode that just happened, she didn't tell her.
Liu Manzhi sent another message.
Mom: [That's good. Remember to say thank you.] Mom: [Be careful on the road. I'm going to be busy now. Let me know when you get to Ye's house.] Chi Rui looked at Liu Manzhi's message and thought of how Ye Minghan had just helped her out. She hesitated for a moment, but turned her head to look at him.
At this moment the car has started and is heading towards the highway.
The man stared straight ahead intently, his sexy thin lips pursed into a straight line, his face still with that expression that kept people at a distance.
"Mr. Ye...Mr. Ye."
Although it felt a bit strange to call him that, Chi Rui really couldn't think of a more polite way to call him.
She pursed her lips and said softly: "Thank you today..."
"Don't misunderstand me."
However, Ye Minghan interrupted her and said coldly, "I just happened to be passing by."
"oh oh."
Chi Rui nodded slightly, but he couldn't help feeling a little confused.
Misunderstanding? What did she... misunderstand?
