In the room, a girl with a ponytail was lying on the bed, listening to the phone while swinging her pair of tender white legs.
At the desk next to the window, a young boy was sitting in front of a computer, his eyes fixed on it, but he was actually listening to the girl talking with his ears perked up.
"See you tomorrow then... Oh, by the way, Ruirui, remember to call me before you go out. I'm afraid I won't have enough time to put on my makeup. You know I'm slow."
"Yeah, okay, see you tomorrow."
After Roy Yi finished speaking, he ended the call.
Looking at the phone screen, he was grinning with a smug look on his face, but he heard the boy sitting at the desk say unhappily: "The last two sentences you said are a bit redundant. What if Rui Rui guesses it?"
Luo Yiyi immediately stopped smiling, picked up the pillow and threw it at his twin brother, "Luo Xiaofei, you are the unnecessary one! How long are you going to play on the computer here? Get out of here!"
Luo Xiaofei grabbed the pillow she threw at him and said shamelessly, "Let me play for a while. You know my computer was confiscated by my parents. I'm so pitiful."
"Then just be quiet!" Roy rolled his eyes.
Luo Xiaofei didn't say anything else, but after a while, he couldn't help asking, "Sister, when will Ruirui come tomorrow?"
"It's about ten or eleven in the morning."
Roy Yi had sat up and was fiddling with a gift box.
"Oh." Luo Xiaofei nodded, turned around and started playing the game happily.
That night, Liu Manzhi finally didn't work overtime and returned home early.
Seeing the house cleaned up so neatly, she was a little surprised and felt a little guilty.
These things should have been arranged by her...
"Mom, you're back."
Chi Rui was very happy to see Liu Manzhi coming back so early.
She came up to her, hugged her arm and asked with a smile: "Mom, have you noticed anything different at home?"
Liu Manzhi smiled slightly, touched her hair and said, "I found out, did you do a thorough cleaning today?"
"Yes, but I'm not the only one." Chi Rui didn't take credit for it, and said with a smile, "Brother Han also helped. He did a lot of the work."
The little girl stayed close to her mother, chattering away, but she would talk about Ye Minghan every few sentences.
Maybe if she likes someone, no matter how hard she tries to hide it, it will show up inadvertently, and subconsciously, she also hopes that the person she likes can get the approval of her mother.
Liu Manzhi naturally saw everything, but she didn't expose it. She sat with her on the sofa in the living room and talked about her life in Xuancheng in the past six months.
She came back too late last night and caught the two children in a relationship. In such a hurry, she didn't have time to talk to her daughter properly.
As far as she could remember, she hadn't had a casual chat with her daughter for a long time.
Hearing that Liu Manzhi had returned, Ye Minghan also came out of the guest room and sat for a while.
But not long after, seeing the mother and daughter having a heart-to-heart talk, he tactfully returned to his room.
He also knew that some things could not be achieved hastily. Anyway, there was still time before Chi Rui graduated from high school. He had the patience to slowly gain Liu Manzhi's recognition and trust.
Liu Manzhi did not go out again, so Ye Minghan did not have the chance to be alone with Chi Rui that night.
He stayed alone in the guest room, playing with a small box in his hands and looking at the alarm clock on the wall from time to time, as if waiting for something.
The second hand ticked away, the sound was crisp and slow, and it was a bit torturous.
After a while, Ye Minghan stood up and walked around the room.
Then he came to the door, opened it and listened to the noise outside.
The sound of the TV playing could be heard in the living room, and from time to time, the voices of Chi Rui and Liu Manzhi could be heard. He waited for a moment, then closed the door and went back into the room.
He placed the small box in his hand on the bedside table. He opened the drawer and saw the cigarettes inside.
He reached out and took it out, then paused, remembering the girl's pouting look, then put the cigarette box back and lay on the bed in a daze.
It seemed like he hadn't experienced such anxiety for a long time, and he hadn't felt time pass so slowly for a long time.
The last time I had this feeling was when I was a child and was locked in the back of a car by that madman and spent three days and three nights in the dark.
The difference is that back then there was pain, anger and despair with no future to be seen, but now there is only passion and tenderness that is about to overflow.
Why doesn't time go faster?
Ye Minghan tilted his head, looked at the clock on the wall, and counted the time silently in his heart.
Finally, when he was about to fall asleep while waiting, he heard footsteps outside the door and the door next door opened and closed.
After a while, the door of the master bedroom was opened, and then there was the sound of the door closing.
Ye Minghan looked at the time. It was just after eleven o'clock in the evening.
He thought about it, picked up his phone, edited the WeChat message, and sent it to Chi Rui.
Brother Han: [Are you asleep? ]
Chi Rui saw his message after she came out of the shower. She quickly replied: [I just took a shower and haven't slept yet.] As soon as she sent the message, Ye Minghan replied to her.
Brother Han: [Well, blow dry your hair first.]
Chi Rui blinked, a little confused, but still replied "OK" and then blew her hair dry.
By the time she finished combing her hair, it was already eleven fifty.
She looked at the time and sent a message to Ye Minghan.
Rui: [Brother Han, I'm done. Are you asleep?] She put down her phone and heard a ding-dong sound. She picked it up and saw that Ye Minghan had only replied with two words.
"Open the door."
Chi Rui was startled, and quickly got up and walked to the door. When he opened it, he saw Ye Minghan standing outside.
He leaned one hand on the door frame, and when she paused slightly because she suddenly saw him, he had already grasped the door handle and slipped into her room from outside.
Chi Rui blinked and was about to ask him what was the matter, but Ye Minghan lightly pressed his index finger on her lips, signaling her not to speak.
She nodded and watched him close the door gently.
They were the only two people in the room.
Although he had tried it before when he was in the Ye family, the feeling was completely different after they officially started dating.
She clenched her fingers, feeling a little nervous and embarrassed.
"Brother Han, is there anything you need?" she asked in a low voice.
Ye Minghan did not answer immediately. He glanced at the girl's boudoir and was somewhat curious about the place where she grew up.
Noticing his gaze, Chi Rui blushed. Although she had already dressed neatly and there was nothing shameful about her, she still felt a little shy when he looked at her like that.
"Brother Han..." She pulled his sleeve and called him softly.
Only then did Ye Minghan turn around and look at her.
The girl, who had just finished taking a shower, still had some water vapor on her face. She opened her watery little eyes and looked at him questioningly, dazed and innocent.
There was a faint scent of jasmine coming from her, his heart moved slightly and he moved closer to her.
Seeing him approaching, Chi Rui subconsciously stepped back until his back was against the door panel and he stopped only when he had nowhere to retreat.
The man opened his arms and placed them on both sides of her, trapping her in his arms.
Looking at the handsome face of the man slowly approaching, Chi Rui couldn't help but cover his chest, feeling his heart beating frighteningly fast.
"Xiao Rui." He raised his thin lips slightly, and his dark eyes looked straight at her.
Chi Rui felt that his voice must have cast a spell, which was why she was bewitched all of a sudden. She looked at his slightly open lips with a slightly dazed look in her eyes.
When he wanted to continue talking, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and pecked his lips lightly.
Ye Minghan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the girl who kissed him and then lowered her head shyly. He couldn't help but chuckle.
Hearing his laughter, Chi Rui's face turned even redder and his head drooped even lower.
"Don't be in a hurry." Ye Minghan said in a low voice.
Chi Rui blinked. Hmm? What does this mean?
She secretly looked at him and saw him take out his cell phone, look at it, put it back in his pocket, then looked at her and said, "I have something in my other pocket, help me get it out."
Chi Rui did as he was told, reached into the pocket he mentioned and fumbled around, and sure enough, he felt something.
She took it out and found it was a small, slightly flat box.
"Is this it?" she asked.
Ye Minghan nodded, "Open it and take a look."
Chi Rui looked at him, then at the small box, and at his signal, gently opened the box.
There was a silver necklace on the velvet cushion.
The pendant of the necklace is a silver nameplate dotted with pink diamonds like stars, with the word "ja□□ine" written in the center.
Chi Rui softly recited the English word, thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and asked: "Is this the English word for jasmine?"
"Yeah." Ye Minghan nodded, staring at her, and said gently, "Xiao Rui, happy birthday."
Although she had guessed it a little bit, Chi Rui couldn't help but grin when he said the birthday wishes, revealing a bright and sweet smile.
"Thank you," she said sweetly, "Can you put it on for me?"
"It's my great honor."
Ye Minghan took out the necklace, carefully put it around her slender neck, and then carefully fastened the buttons.
Chi Rui stroked the nameplate, turned over the back of the plate, and actually saw his own name on it.
She blinked her eyes gently, put her hands around Ye Minghan's waist, looked up at him and smiled: "Are you saying that I am like a jasmine flower?"
Ye Minghan curled his lips, raised his chin and kissed her on the forehead.
"Happy Quinceañera, my princess."
The pointer on the wall just pointed to twelve o'clock.
On her 18th birthday, he was the first to offer his blessings.
Listening to his whispers in her ears, Chi Rui felt her heart filled with a feeling of happiness, making her feel like she was floating in the clouds.
She grinned and responded sweetly, "Thank you, my Lord Knight."
Ye Minghan couldn't help but pause, lowered his eyebrows to look at her, and raised his voice slightly: "Not a prince?"
Seeing his slightly dissatisfied look, Chi Rui giggled, hugged him tighter with both hands, and buried her little face in his chest.
"But I like knights," she said softly.
Ye Minghan thought about it and nodded reluctantly, "Okay, then I will be your knight."
"Why does it sound so forced?"
Chi Rui couldn't help but look up, pouting her lips and looking at him in dissatisfaction.
But Ye Minghan didn't answer at all. When she looked up at him, he finally couldn't control the desire in his heart. He put his arms around her waist and gently kissed the girl's pink lips...
