Chi Rui opened the door a crack, stuck his head out and peeked out. When he saw the familiar tall figure, his eyes lit up.
She was just about to go to bed when she heard some noise outside the door. She came out to check and to her surprise it was Ye Minghan who returned.
The girl grinned, looked up and was about to call him, but she met the man's burning gaze.
He stood in front of the door opposite, his dark and deep eyes staring straight at her, so bright as if there were crushed stars in them.
Chi Rui was stunned for a moment, "Um, Brother Han?"
Why are you looking at her like that? Could it be that she did something wrong?
Her gentle call brought Ye Minghan's thoughts back to reality.
He looked away in panic, calming himself down slightly and ignoring his irregular heartbeat.
Chi Rui blinked and tilted his head to look at him.
Noticing the girl's gaze, Ye Minghan pursed his lips uncomfortably.
"Aren't you going to sleep yet?" he asked in a nonchalant tone.
Chi Rui then remembered the reason why she ran out, but she suddenly didn't know how to say what she wanted to say just now.
"Um, well..." She responded hesitantly, "Did you just come back?"
She decided to make some pleasantries first and then follow the topic with her request.
Ye Minghan nodded and stared at her.
The girl stood at the door of the room, scratching the door unconsciously with her fingertips. He looked at her with soft eyes, and felt that her little movements were so cute no matter how he looked at them.
"Have you had dinner?" Chi Rui thought for a moment and asked again.
"Um."
Ye Minghan nodded, with starlight flickering in his dark eyes.
Is she... caring about him?
Chi Rui, who was trying hard to find a topic, didn't notice his abnormality. She was scratching the door, worrying about how to bring the topic back to what she wanted to say.
"Do you have something to say?" Ye Minghan also saw that she had something to say.
He took the initiative to ask, and Chi Ruiru was pardoned.
She looked at him happily and gave him a shy smile, "Well, I just wanted to ask, are you free tomorrow afternoon?"
Ye Minghan's heart moved and his eyes fell on the girl's face.
She looked at him with a smile, her fair little face flushed slightly with shyness, she was so cute that people wanted to pinch her.
He pursed his lips and looked away calmly.
"I'm free," he said calmly, "What's wrong?"
His eyebrows were slightly raised and his expression was casual, but if you looked closely, you would see that he was tilting his ear, obviously listening attentively.
Chi Rui tugged at her fingers awkwardly and looked down at her toes.
"Well...if you are free tomorrow, can you pick me up from school?" she asked shyly.
After talking to Sheng Qingle on the phone, Jiang Xingyang's matter has been weighing on her mind.
She was a little worried that Jiang Xingyang would bring people to block her again tomorrow.
Although she escaped today, who knows what will happen next? She also thought about whether to tell Aunt An, but after thinking about it, she decided to wait and see the situation first.
If Jiang Xingyang didn't do anything else, then there would be no need for her to make a big deal out of it, but just in case, she had to do something to prepare.
So, she thought of Ye Minghan.
She had seen his skills before; he could knock down an adult man of 1.8 meters in height in just a few moves.
It would be best if nothing happened afterwards, but if something really happened, she would feel more at ease with him around.
Although she was a little worried that he would reject her, she really had no one to turn to in Xuancheng.
However, thinking of what Butler Chen said, Chi Rui finally gained some confidence.
She raised her head and looked at Ye Minghan eagerly, her pair of bright and anticipatory eyes.
"Brother Han, are you okay?" she asked gently.
Ye Minghan listened to her soft girlish voice and almost responded directly.
The little girl actually asked him to pick her up? He felt the little excitement in his heart bursting out.
He pursed his lips, thinking about how to answer her without appearing too out of place.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chi Rui thought he was unwilling, and his eyes gradually dimmed.
"If it's really inconvenient, then..."
“No inconvenience!”
Chi Rui was stunned and stared at him blankly.
Realizing that he was a little too anxious, Ye Minghan couldn't help but clear his cough and said calmly, "I mean yes."
"Really?"
Chi Rui was a little surprised. She thought he really didn't like her, so he refused to agree.
She couldn't help but grin and smile sweetly at him.
"Thank you, Brother Han."
Seeing her so happy, Ye Minghan paused, and the corners of his lips, which had been suppressed, also curved up.
Although it was a shallow smile, the expression on his face completely softened.
Chi Rui blinked. Brother Ye...are you smiling?
It was the first time she saw him smile.
The girl's surprised look froze Ye Minghan, and he quickly put on a stern face again, "It's late, go to bed."
Chi Rui nodded and was about to say goodbye to him, but accidentally glanced at his hand on the door handle.
"Brother Han, why are you injured?"
Ye Minghan frowned and looked down in the direction she was looking, only to find that a cut had appeared on the back of his hand at some point.
It must have been accidentally scratched when I was beating someone just now.
"It's okay, just a minor injury." He said indifferently.
"But it's all bleeding."
Chi Rui wrinkled her nose and pulled his sleeve to stop him from leaving. "Wait for me here."
After saying that, he turned and went into his room.
Ye Minghan stood there, lowered his eyebrows and looked at the sleeve that she had just pulled, a little dazed.
Soon, Chi Rui ran back from the room.
"Give me your hand."
She stood in front of him and said seriously.
Ye Minghan pursed his lips, and under the girl's gentle gaze, he obediently raised his hand and held it in front of her.
Chi Rui held his hand lightly, took a cotton swab, and carefully helped him wipe the blood around the wound.
I don’t know how he got injured. He was fine in the afternoon.
As she thought this, she loosened the strength in her hands a little.
Ye Minghan lowered his eyes and looked at her.
The girl's soft fingertips were slightly cold, and she touched his hand vaguely, showing a bit of caution.
Her palm was still so small that he could wrap it completely around her.
He raised his eyes and fell on the top of her head again. She was so small, did she not eat well?
His fingers were a little cold, and looking at her thin nightgown, Ye Minghan couldn't help but frown.
In early autumn, the weather has begun to turn cooler, especially at night, when the temperature is much lower than during the day.
She came out wearing so little, no wonder her hands are so cold.
Chi Rui happened to look up at him, caught a glimpse of his expression, and couldn't help asking, "Does it hurt?"
Ye Minghan didn't answer, but just urged: "Are you done?"
"Yeah, almost there."
Chi Rui quickly clamped the blood-stained cotton swab between his fingers, took out a Band-Aid from his pocket, tore off the sticker, and carefully put it on his wound.
"This Band-Aid is waterproof, so you don't have to worry about it getting wet when washing your hands." The girl said with a smile.
Ye Minghan had been staring at her without paying much attention. When he heard what she said, he nodded and withdrew his hand.
He frowned and opened his mouth to send her back to her room.
At this moment, there was a noise at the stairs.
After a while, Butler Chen came over with a tray under their gaze.
"Miss Rui, are you still awake?" Butler Chen was a little surprised to see Chi Rui.
Chi Rui smiled shyly, "Hello, Uncle Chen."
She greeted him, but her eyes fell on the tray in his hand, on which was a glass filled with milky liquid that gave off a faint milky aroma.
This is……
Butler Chen looked at Ye Minghan and said, "Master, your hot milk."
Chi Rui blinked. So Brother Ye likes to drink milk?
Ye Minghan's face was slightly stiff, and he was obviously a little uncomfortable.
He pursed his lips, suddenly picked up the glass of milk, then pulled Chi Rui's hands, put the glass of milk in her hands, and asked her to hold it.
"For you."
After saying that, he turned around coolly, opened the door and entered the room.
Chi Rui looked at him, then at the cup of milk in his hand.
The glass containing hot milk is not hot at all, but rather warm, and feels particularly comfortable when held in the palm of your hand.
She grinned, said good night to Butler Chen, then happily returned to her room holding the glass of milk.
Butler Chen stood in the corridor, looking at the closed doors on both sides, and then glanced at the tray in his hand.
It seems that I need to prepare two glasses of milk in the future.
He chuckled, then turned and left with the tray.
In the room, Young Master Ye was looking at the back of his hand with a somewhat frozen expression.
All I saw was a Band-Aid on the back of his hand. There were two cartoon bears, one big and one small, printed on the beige tape, with a few pink flowers dotted around them.
Such a cute style...
The great devil Ye, who is 1.9 meters tall, is always cold and arrogant, and is feared when fighting. It is inevitable that he falls into deep entanglement.
In the next room, Chi Rui drank the milk and lay down happily.
Thinking of the cold Brother Ye with the bear Band-Aid on his face, she covered her mouth with her hands and smiled secretly, then pulled up the quilt to cover her head.
The author has something to say: Young Master Ye: This is not cool at all!
Chi Rui: I think it’s very cute. If you don’t like it, just tear it off.
Young Master Ye: Wait, it would be such a waste to tear it off... (after a long time) Is it really cute?
