"Ring, ring, ring - ring, ring -"
The cell phone alarm rang on time. The girl sleeping in the bed opened her eyes in confusion with her eyelashes trembling slightly.
There was a throbbing pain in the solar plexus.
Chi Rui frowned, massaging his solar plexus with one hand, and using the other hand to support himself and sit up.
Having just woken up, her mind was still a little slow.
When the girl finally remembered what happened before she fell asleep last night, she stopped pressing her temples and her pretty little deer eyes widened.
She remembered that last night, in order to celebrate Lele's birthday, she went to her cousin's bar to listen to the live performance of the Z band. Then she and Lele went on stage and he sang a song for her.
Then when we went off the stage to drink, Brother Ye suddenly appeared, and then——
She took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, pestering him to not be angry, and feeding him candy...
The last image in her mind was Brother Ye hugging her and saying something in her ear...
Recalling this, Chi Rui's face was already dazed.
She covered her cheeks with her little hands, the heat continued to surge up, and her heart was beating fast.
"ah--"
The girl fell back on the bed and buried her face deeply in the pillow in shame and anger.
Oh, what did she do to Brother Ye last night? Oh, she doesn't want to see anyone anymore...
"Ring, ring, ring - ring, ring -"
Ten minutes later, the alarm that had just been turned off because I ignored it rang again.
Chi Rui buried his head in the pillow and pretended to be dead.
But after a while, her good self-discipline made her put down the pillow, follow the ringtone to find her bag, take out her cell phone and sit on the edge of the bed.
I turned off the alarm and used my fingerprint to lock the screen out of habit.
But what I saw was that the phone displayed the WeChat interface and a chat box was open.
At the top of the chat box where her nickname was displayed, there was only the word "Han" written on it, and in the chat history, there was only a smiling minion that she had sent.
Chi Rui widened his eyes again.
So she asked Brother Ye to add her WeChat last night?
Although she had no recollection of it, facts spoke louder than words. There was no record of Ye Minghan adding her in her address book interface.
She fell on the bed again and pulled the pillow over her head.
Woohoo, why is she like this after drinking? She never wants to drink again, never want to go to the bar again...
After a long while, Chi Rui pulled off the pillow, picked up his phone again, and looked at the smiling Minions on the screen.
But why would she send this expression to Brother Ye?
This emoticon has been abandoned by her for a long time? And she doesn't like this smiling expression at all.
After thinking about it for a while, Chi Rui couldn't remember anything, so she gave up. Maybe her brain circuits were different when she was drunk.
She never knew that her alcohol tolerance was so poor that she would pass out after just one glass. Fortunately, she met Brother Ye, otherwise, who knows what would have happened.
Thinking of this, the scene of her standing on tiptoe and feeding the milk candy to the man's mouth reappeared in her mind.
Brother Ye's eyes at that time were bright and gentle...
Chi Rui blushed and shook her head quickly.
She must have remembered it wrongly, right?
Seeing her acting like a drunk, Brother Ye must have found her annoying, so why would he look at her with such gentle eyes?
Chi Rui patted her hot cheeks with her little hands to calm herself down a little.
It’s almost time to go to school, and we can’t delay any longer.
She turned over and got out of bed. When she lowered her head to look for her slippers, she saw a silver signing pen lying at the foot of the bedside table.
Chi Rui bent down, picked up the pen, and looked through it in his hand.
The entire silver body of the signing pen is finely crafted, and it sparkles like stars in the dim light. It is low-key yet beautiful, and you can tell at first glance that it is not an ordinary pen.
Whose pen was it? How did it end up in her room?
She tilted her head, casually stuffed the pen into her bag, then went into the bathroom in her slippers to take a shower and change clothes.
After changing into a clean school uniform, Chi Rui went downstairs to prepare for dinner at the usual time.
But as soon as she entered the dining room, she froze in place.
A familiar tall figure was sitting at the dining table with his back to the door, holding a newspaper in his hand and reading it.
"Good morning, Miss Rui."
Butler Chen came out of the kitchen and greeted her with a smile when he saw her.
Chi Rui was startled, and the man sitting in the recliner put down the newspaper in his hand and looked over sideways.
His dark eyes met her gaze.
Chi Rui clenched her fingers, two faint blushes appeared on her face, she lowered her head slightly, avoiding his gaze.
"Good morning, Uncle Chen."
She spoke softly, walked to the opposite side of Ye Minghan, and sat in her usual seat.
Ye Minghan looked up at her with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
"Brother Han... Good morning..."
Noticing his gaze, Chi Rui's face became even hotter, but she still greeted him in a low voice.
Ye Minghan, who was standing opposite her, heard the embarrassment in her words, and seeing that she kept her head down and didn't dare to look at him, he couldn't help but pause.
Could it be that...she remembers everything that happened last night?
"Um."
He responded calmly, pursed his lips uncomfortably, and spread out the newspaper and pretended to read it.
Butler Chen looked at them, with a smile on his lips. After serving breakfast to Chi Rui, he sent the maid away and went into the kitchen together.
As for the dining room, it was left to the two young men.
Chi Rui drank the millet porridge absentmindedly, his deer eyes rolling around, his gaze falling on the man opposite from time to time.
The spread-out newspaper hid his face.
She couldn't see his expression, she could only see his fingers pinching the edge of the newspaper and hear the rustling sound of papers turning.
Brother Ye’s hands…are quite beautiful.
Chi Rui was a little distracted, and somehow he remembered the day when he helped him put on a Band-Aid.
Brother Ye’s hands are not delicate and beautiful like works of art, but they are full of strength and have a kind of beauty that makes people feel at ease.
Suddenly, her eyes paused, and then she blinked.
That little bear Band-Aid...why hasn't Brother Han taken it off yet?
Ye Minghan could feel the girl's gaze. He felt complicated and his thoughts were in a mess.
Those hidden emotions that were hidden deep in my heart and never shared with anyone were exposed to the sun and known by the person concerned...
Ye Minghan pursed his lips, propped up his face, put down the newspaper, and raised his eyes to meet the girl's gaze.
What did she think after she knew about his missing her?
Chi Rui's heart skipped a beat when she was suddenly caught peeking. She resisted the urge to cover her face and run away, and managed to calm herself down.
"Yesterday, last night...Aunt An and Uncle Ye also knew that I went to the bar?" She thought for a moment and asked softly.
Ye Minghan looked at her, not expecting her to ask such a question.
He shook his head, "They went to bed first."
It was just a casual question, but after hearing this, Chi Rui breathed a sigh of relief. Mom shouldn't know about this, right?
"Brother Han, can you keep this a secret for me?"
Chi Rui looked at Ye Minghan pitifully, "Last night was the first time I went to a bar, I promise I won't go there again..."
Ye Minghan frowned, feeling that her attitude was a little off. Could it be that...she only remembered part of it?
Seeing him frown, Chi Rui thought that he would not agree, and couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.
"Brother Han..."
She called him softly, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness that she herself was not aware of.
Ye Minghan raised his eyes, his dark eyes fixed on her.
She really didn't remember what happened afterwards, did she? He breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little lost.
Under Chi Rui's gaze, he nodded.
Just when the girl grinned in surprise, he said calmly: "I will go to your school in the afternoon."
"Ah?" Chi Rui blinked, "What are you doing in my school?"
Ye Minghan lowered his head and pretended to read the newspaper.
"Pick you up."
Chi Rui was stunned for a moment, but soon realized, Brother Ye...is he worried that she will go to the bar again?
She opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but in the end she said nothing. Because she found that she seemed quite happy when Brother Ye said he would pick her up...
She looked at Ye Minghan and smiled gently.
Moreover, their relationship did not become more strained because of last night, and seemed to have eased a little.
The girl grinned, revealing her sweet dimples.
"OK."
Her voice was clear, sweet and soft, without any hesitation.
Ye Minghan's heart moved slightly. He pursed his lips and tried hard to suppress the curve at the corners of his lips.
"Well, eat quickly, the time is almost up."
"Okay~"
Looking from behind the newspaper as the girl lowered her head to drink porridge, Ye Minghan's eyes became softer and softer.
A faint warmth flowed across the dining table, just like when they were little, and Butler Chen, who was secretly observing in the kitchen, nodded with satisfaction.
I really hope that Master and Miss Rui can continue like this...
Before going to school, Chi Rui passed by Ye Minghan and couldn't help but say, "Brother Han, you can tear off this Band-Aid now. It's not good for the wound if you keep it on for too long."
Ye Minghan couldn't help but stiffen for a moment, and his hands at his sides clenched into fists uncomfortably.
Of course he knew it, but... he just couldn't bear to let it go.
He thought about it, raised his hand and stretched it in front of the girl.
"Can you help me?" he whispered, his dark eyes staring at the girl.
Chi Rui blushed for no reason.
She nodded randomly and gently grasped his hand.
I don't know why, but I always feel the warmth coming from his palms is so clear and hot that it almost burns my hands.
She didn't dare to look up and carefully helped him tear off the Band-Aid.
The shallow wound had stopped bleeding long ago, but because the Band-Aid had been on it for too long, it was white and showed no signs of healing.
"You see, you can't keep a Band-Aid on for too long."
Chi Rui suddenly forgot to be shy, wrinkled her nose and muttered to him in a low voice.
Ye Minghan just glanced at the wound, then looked up at her again, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved.
"You should go to school," he whispered.
Chi Rui looked at him, and when she saw the smile in his eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
Why did Brother Ye suddenly laugh...
"Hmm?" Ye Minghan raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, then, I'm leaving."
Chi Rui came back to his senses, spoke in a panic, quickly picked up his backpack, turned around and ran out.
Watching her back disappear at the door, Ye Minghan smiled lightly, but when he caught a glimpse of Butler Chen walking out of the kitchen, he quickly put away his smile.
Chi Rui got into the car quickly. She covered her chest and took several deep breaths.
"Ms. Rui, there is still time and you won't be late." The driver comforted her.
Chi Rui grinned at him and slowly calmed down.
Before the car left the gate of the Ye family, she quietly looked back, but the trees in the garden blocked the house and she couldn't see anything...
She clenched her fingers and lowered her head silently.
During school hours, there are cars coming and going and people crowding in front of the school gate.
Most of the students who go to Dongxuan High School are young men and women from wealthy families. They are picked up and dropped off by special vehicles, which easily causes traffic jams.
Chi Rui got out of the car, waved goodbye to the driver, and turned to walk towards the school gate.
But she didn't notice that a bicycle was rushing straight towards her. When she noticed it, it was too late to dodge. At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and pulled her.
"call--"
A motorcycle whizzed past her.
The cyclist turned his head and said sorry to her in a hurry. Perhaps he had something urgent to do, as he twisted and turned in the crowd and disappeared in a flash.
Chi Rui calmed herself down and turned her head to look at the person who had just grabbed her.
She was a girl with long flowing hair, pretty and delicate features, and she looked a little familiar.
"Thank you for holding me."
Chi Rui curled her eyes and said to the girl gratefully, "I'm Chi Rui from Class 3 of Senior 3. Are you also in Senior 3?"
The girl looked at her carefully, and finally smiled softly.
"Yes, I'm Chen Yuyou from Class 1."
