Perhaps he was not used to sleeping with someone around him and was afraid of Liu Manzhi's sudden attack, so Chi Rui woke up before dawn.
When he turned his head, he saw Ye Minghan sleeping with his eyes closed.
He placed one arm on her waist and rested his head lightly on her shoulder. His thick black hair was a little messy, and it gently touched her skin, making her feel a little itchy.
At this moment, he was sleeping soundly, with his brows relaxed, showing a rare gentleness in his eyes.
Chi Rui looked at him, the corners of her mouth slightly curved, revealing a faint smile.
Brother Han just held her in his arms to sleep as he promised last night and did nothing else.
But when she thought about it, she felt a little disappointed.
Chi Rui quickly shook her head to get rid of the strange thoughts in her mind, then lowered her head and her little hand groped for the birthday present he gave her last night.
The small nameplate is exquisite and unique, she likes it very much.
At this moment, there were slight footsteps outside the bedroom door.
Although he deliberately lowered his footsteps, Chi Rui still heard it.
Thinking of the decision she made before going to bed last night, she gently removed the man's arm from her waist, then sat up and put the necklace back into her clothes.
She got out of bed quietly and carefully covered Ye Minghan with a quilt. Then she put on a coat, opened the door and walked out of the bedroom.
Liu Manzhi had already changed her clothes and was washing rice and cooking in the kitchen.
Hearing the noise, she looked over and saw Chi Rui. She couldn't help but blink and asked, "Rui Rui, so early? Since it's a holiday, you should sleep a little longer."
Chi Rui smiled and shook his head, saying softly, "I'm used to it. I can't sleep."
"Okay then." Liu Manzhi didn't force her and said softly, "The gift is in the living room, go and take a look."
"Okay." Chi Rui narrowed his eyes and smiled, "What's the gift?"
"You'll know once you see it."
Chi Rui came to the living room and saw the gift box on the glass table at a glance.
A pink envelope is placed on the gift box.
She opened the envelope, took out the letter inside and read it. The letter contained Liu Manzhi's blessings, expectations, and encouragement for her.
Chi Rui looked at the letter, and the smile on her face gradually dimmed. She remembered what she had hidden from her mother.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Liu Manzhi walked out of the kitchen.
Chi Rui quickly put away the expression on his face, folded the letter and put it back into the envelope, then said to her with a smile: "I haven't opened it yet."
She stood up and opened the gift box.
There was a skirt and a pair of high heels of the same color in the box.
Chi Rui's eyes lit up, she took out the skirt and tried it on herself.
The color of the skirt is pink yet elegant, and the one-shoulder design is a little sexy, which is her favorite style.
"It's just a coincidence this year. Tomorrow night is New Year's Eve."
Liu Manzhi looked at her and smiled softly, "Tomorrow night, you wear this skirt and we will go to the party together."
Chi Rui nodded, "Okay, thank you, Mom."
Looking at her sweet smile, Liu Manzhi couldn't help but reach out and touch the top of her head.
"Well, go ahead and give it a try."
"No need, mom will definitely choose the right one."
Chi Rui happily put the skirt back into the box, closed the lid, looked up at her mother, and said solemnly: "Mom, I have something to tell you."
Liu Manzhi was startled, "What's the matter?"
"Please sit down first." Chi Rui pulled her to sit on the sofa.
"Rui Rui?" Liu Manzhi had a bad feeling in her heart.
"I originally wanted to tell you after the college entrance examination." Chi Rui pinched her fingers, "But now, I think I shouldn't hide it from you."
Liu Manzhi frowned and vaguely guessed what she wanted to say.
"I want to tell you that Brother Han and I are in love." Chi Rui mustered up the courage to say, "I'm sorry, I clearly promised you before, but I broke the agreement."
"But I promise you that it won't affect my studies. Please believe me again."
Looking at her daughter's hesitant look, Liu Manzhi couldn't help but sigh.
What is coming will come, and she has no way to stop it.
The original intention of preventing the daughter from falling in love too early is for her own good. If this incident creates a rift between mother and daughter, it would go against the original intention.
"Do you really like him so much?" Liu Manzhi took her daughter's hand and asked softly.
Seeing that Liu Manzhi did not react too violently, Chi Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just her problem, and it makes her feel shy. Ever since she fell in love with Ye Minghan, she has never shared her feelings with anyone.
"Yeah." She replied softly.
"What do you like about him?" Liu Manzhi continued to ask.
"Although Brother Han looks cool and doesn't like to talk, he is actually a very gentle person..."
Chi Rui couldn't help but hug a pillow in her arms. When she talked about her sweetheart, her face was full of joy.
She shared with her mother all the details of their interactions over the past six months, as well as her feelings towards Ye Minghan, using soft words to express her girlish thoughts.
"Brother Han was very fierce at first. He didn't even let me call him brother. I changed my name to call him sir, and he got unhappy again..."
"His hand was injured, so I put a bear band-aid on it. You have no idea how cute his expression was at that time. It's so funny when I think about it..."
"I'll tell you a secret. Brother Han wore skirts when he was a child. They were super pretty and beautiful! And I heard that I pestered him to wear them, but I don't remember anymore..."
Liu Manzhi listened to the girl's smiling story. Gradually, a smile appeared on her face and her eyes became gentle.
If Ye Minghan was really like what her daughter said, it was no wonder that she fell in love with him. And she could see that Rui Rui had already fallen in love with him, and it was probably too late for her to stop him.
However, she couldn't think of any reason to stop such an outstanding boy who loved Ruirui so much.
"Okay, as long as you like it." Finally, Liu Manzhi finally compromised, "But there is one thing, it must not affect your studies. Your focus now should still be on studying."
"I know, Mom."
Chi Rui nodded vigorously, very happy that her mother supported her in this way.
"Oh, there's one more thing."
At this moment, Liu Manzhi pulled her daughter back and spoke to her earnestly.
"I know you're grown up now, and I'm a very open-minded parent."
Chi Rui blinked and looked at her in confusion, then she heard her mother continue, "Regarding premarital sex, mom doesn't object, but safety measures must be taken. Girls must know how to protect themselves, understand?"
Chi Rui's face instantly turned red, "Mom...Mom, what are you talking about?!"
Looking at her flushed face, Liu Manzhi shook her head and said, "I'm just giving you a heads-up. Although I don't object, you are not allowed to cross the line before you graduate from high school, understand?"
Chi Rui stared at her, her little face had turned red, as if she had been stained with rouge.
"I... Of course I know, Mom, you... You are so annoying!"
Having said that, he hurried towards the bedroom holding the gift box.
Liu Manzhi shook her head helplessly, looked at her back and said, "There is a prepared breakfast in the kitchen, remember to eat it later, I'm going out first."
For the gala, she still has to make final confirmations today.
Without further delay, Liu Manzhi took her bag and walked out the door.
On the other side, Chi Rui couldn't listen to what her mother said at all, and she quickly walked back to her room.
Just as I opened the door, I was suddenly bumped into an embrace, and the gift box in my hands almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the man covered her mouth in time to prevent her from screaming, and caught the box, so as not to attract Liu Manzhi's attention.
Hearing the sound of the door closing outside, Ye Minghan breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the hand that was covering Chi Rui.
Chi Rui stared at him, his face full of shame and anger.
When he let go of her hand, she said in a tender voice: "You...did you hear everything just now?"
Ye Minghan was a little confused.
He had just gotten up and walked to the door when he vaguely heard the mother and daughter talking. He was just about to listen and then go back to his room while they were not paying attention, but when he got to the door, the little girl rushed in angrily...
"You...you get out! I don't want to see you!"
Chi Rui became furious and grabbed his arm, pushed him out of the door, and finally slammed the door.
Ye Minghan looked at the closed door with a confused look on his face.
So, what did he hear?
Ye Minghan stood in the corridor for a while, and seeing that the little girl really refused to pay attention to him, he had to go back to his room to wash up.
In the end, he had to work very hard to coax the little girl into silence.
Although he didn't figure out how he had offended her until he went out with Chi Rui, so that even though she had reconciled with him, she still kept her distance from him and refused to let him hold her hand...
"Yiyi, I'm going out."
Chi Rui was talking on the phone, "By the way, I might have to bring a friend with me, is that okay? Okay, see you later!"
Ye Minghan and Chi Rui stood in front of the subway station, looking at the girl who was about the same height as him, with somewhat resentful eyes.
After Chi Rui finished talking on the phone, she turned around and met his gaze.
She looked at the people around her and felt that something had misunderstood her. She couldn't help but say, "The car at home has been driven away by my mother, and there is a serious traffic jam on the road now. It's faster for us to take the subway."
Ye Minghan nodded without comment. Looking at her apologetic eyes, he finally couldn't help but take a step forward and put his arm around her shoulders.
As soon as he approached, Chi Rui remembered what her mother said in the morning, and a blush suddenly appeared on her cheeks.
She stammered and tried to break free from him, but the man held her tighter.
"Don't move." Ye Minghan said coldly, his sharp eyes looking a little fierce.
Chi Rui froze in place and was held obediently in his arms.
Ye Minghan was satisfied then and kissed her on the forehead, causing the people around them to look at them.
It’s not entirely because of their intimate behavior, but because this young couple is so good-looking. If Ye Minghan’s aura wasn’t so strong, some people would have probably taken pictures with their mobile phones.
Chi Rui's face turned even redder. She lowered her head like a little wife, angry but not daring to speak.
She bit her lip and called him softly, "Brother Han..."
"Um?"
"Don't kiss... kiss me in front of Yiyi and the others later..."
Ye Minghan raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at her, "It depends on your performance."
At this time, seeing the subway door opened, he hugged her and walked in.
