Chi Rui and Ye Minghan walked into the department store hand in hand, but they saw a familiar figure from afar.
"Isn't that Brother Lang?" Chi Rui blinked and pointed at the man who was stepping on the escalator in the distance.
And beside him, there stood a graceful figure.
Chi Rui originally thought that it was just a passerby, but she didn't expect that after Chi Lang stepped onto the escalator, he actually put his arm around the woman's slender waist and whispered in her ear.
That intimate behavior made Chi Rui open his mouth wide.
Ye Minghan also looked in the direction where she pointed, and sure enough, he saw Chi Lang standing on the escalator, having already reached the middle.
He frowned. Secretly, he didn't want to see his cousin Chi Rui.
After all, he caused such a big misunderstanding when they first met, and Chi Lang still had some prejudice against him...
But just when he was about to say that they were going to another shopping mall, the little girl next to him hugged his arm and pulled him to follow them secretly.
Chi Rui's eyes were moving at this moment, and his pair of deer eyes seemed to glow.
Brother Lang is 36 years old this year and has never been married. The elders in his family are actually quite worried about him. Even she has heard Sister Nuanxi mention it several times.
But Brother Lang remained unmoved. Not only did he never mention marriage, but I've never even heard of him having a romantic relationship.
And today, she actually saw him behaving so intimately with a strange woman! Chi Rui's gossiping spirit suddenly burned.
Ye Minghan looked at the girl hiding behind him, peeking around in a sneaky manner. He was speechless, but at the same time, he thought she was... quite cute.
But is it really useful for them to track like this?
After going up to the second floor, Chi Lang and the woman went into a clothing store together.
Seeing their figures disappear at the door, Chi Rui hurriedly pulled Ye Minghan over, stood outside the store, and looked inside through the glass.
Chi Lang and the woman had their backs to this side, and their silhouettes could be seen from a distance.
The woman was wearing a sexy red dress with a hollow back design, revealing a large area of snow-white and delicate skin.
She was choosing a tie, and Chi Lang... was touching her.
Chi Rui widened his eyes.
Perhaps because the place they were staying was relatively secluded and they didn't expect someone to be watching them from behind, Chi Lang became bolder.
The older brother who was usually gentle and reserved in front of her, at this moment, his hand, which was originally on the woman's waist, suddenly moved up, slowly reached into the woman's clothes, and caressed the delicate skin on her lower back...
However, despite being flirted with like this, the woman did not push him away. Instead, she glanced at him with a slightly coquettish look.
Even though Chi Rui was looking from afar, he could still feel the various charms in those eyes.
The little girl, who rarely came into contact with such things, couldn't help swallowing, and then... her eyes were covered again.
Why use "又"?
Chi Rui paused, then remembered what happened between Sister Ye and Brother Wen Shao last time.
She couldn't help but turn her head around, staring at Ye Minghan with her eyes wide open and full of resentment.
Ye Minghan felt a little uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and turned his head away. "You are still young..."
"I'm already 18 years old." Chi Rui protested.
Ye Minghan paused, lowered his head, and looked at her deeply.
Chi Rui was confused by his gaze and vaguely felt that something was wrong, but as she watched him gradually approaching, she was still a little panicked.
The girl stretched out her small hand to hold him, and stammered, "What...what are you going to do?"
The man leaned forward slightly, his dark eyes looking at her level, and he gently curled the corners of his lips.
"I should be the one asking you this."
"Ah?" Chi Rui was a little confused.
"Are you trying to seduce me?"
Ye Minghan looked at her, his voice was low and pleasant, but it made Chi Rui stunned.
She thought briefly about the conversation just now and what her mother had said to her in the morning, and she suddenly understood why he said that.
The girl's face instantly turned red, and she glared at Ye Minghan in shame and anger, "You...you are talking nonsense!"
Ye Minghan liked to see her blushing and shy like this. Even when she scolded him, her scolding was soft and without any strength, like a delicate little kitten, which made him want to take extra care of her.
"Where did I say that? That's not what you meant just now."
"Of course not. I just said that I'm grown up and can...can..."
"Can you what?"
Just then, a clear voice came from behind them.
Chi Rui was stunned and looked sideways, only to see Chi Lang and the woman in the red dress walking out of the store, just in time to run into them.
"Brother Lang..."
Chi Rui suddenly became timid and subconsciously hugged Ye Minghan, hiding behind him to hide her red cheeks.
"Rui Rui?" Chi Lang raised his eyebrows.
He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. He had persuaded Cheng Haila to accompany him shopping, but he just visited a store and met Chi Rui and Ye Minghan as soon as he came out.
Watching their intimate actions, Chi Lang's eyes became sharp again, and he looked at Ye Minghan with scrutiny.
Chi Rui also knew that hiding was not a solution. Since he had been seen, he could only come out obediently.
"Brother Lang, you guys are here to buy clothes too."
She smiled faintly, her eyes moving around, looking curiously at Cheng Haila who was standing next to Chi Lang.
The woman was wearing a red dress, looking sexy and charming, with delicate and gorgeous makeup on her face, but it did not steal the show at all, but instead fully highlighted her enchanting beauty.
The little girl's gaze was too intense for Cheng Haila to ignore. She was not embarrassed, but looked back at her with grace and even smiled.
The charm at that moment was so moving that Chi Rui felt moved even though she was also a girl.
This sister is so pretty! Will she be my future sister-in-law?
She looked at Chi Lang again, eagerly waiting for his introduction.
Chi Lang smiled bitterly, but he was eager to introduce Cheng Haila to his family. With more ties, he would have more chances to pursue her...
“Hela, let me introduce you. This is Chi Rui, my cousin.” Chi Lang looked at Ye Minghan, frowned, and said reluctantly, “This is Ye Minghan.”
After that, he introduced Cheng Haila to Chi Rui and the others.
"This is Cheng Haila, a friend of mine."
Hearing Chi Lang's introduction, Chi Rui couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Why wasn't she his girlfriend? But she thought about it again and thought that maybe Brother Lang was shy.
So she stepped forward and naturally took Cheng Haila's arm, "Sister Haila, are you going shopping with Brother Lang?"
The little girl is delicate and cute, and speaks in a soft voice, it's hard not to like her.
Cheng Haila smiled sweetly, patted her hands, and said, "Yes, you are here to buy clothes too?"
"Yes, yes, that's perfect, we can go shopping together."
So, led by the two ladies, this shopping trip quickly turned into a four-person trip.
Ye Minghan was a little depressed, but seeing the little girl so happy, he didn't know what to say, so he had to follow them and buy dresses to wear on New Year's Eve.
Chi Rui and Cheng Haila hit it off right away and soon started chatting animatedly.
The two of them picked out clothes for their respective male companions together, leaving them no room to interrupt.
Ye Minghan and Chi Lang had no choice but to take their clothes and go to the locker room, leaving Chi Rui and Cheng Haila waiting outside.
Seeing that Chi Lang was not there, Chi Rui hesitated again and again, but still couldn't help asking Cheng Haila: "Sister Haila, you and Brother Lang...are you his girlfriend?"
Cheng Haila picked up a tie and was looking at it. Hearing this, she couldn't help but chuckle and shook her head, "No."
“But I think you two are very close…”
Chi Rui blinked, a little confused. She had just seen Brother Lang do that to her! Isn't this something that only boyfriends and girlfriends, or even husband and wife, can do?
"Actually..." Cheng Haila glanced at her, then slowly leaned close to her ear, breathing softly, "Your brother and I...are bedmates."
Chi Rui was stunned again. This sentence contained too much information and she was a little stuck.
Bed...bedmate...
Is that what she meant?
Cheng Haila looked at her silly look and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pinch her pink cheeks and smiled gently: "Oh, little Ruirui, you are so cute!"
"You're still in high school, right? I'd better not tell you this."
She smiled, turned around and walked towards the shoe area.
Chi Rui stood there, watching her graceful figure gradually disappear into the distance, still in shock and confusion.
The world of adults is so complicated... but it always feels a little bit exciting...
After buying clothes that day, Chi Rui and Ye Minghan returned home.
Chi Lang, who had always taken good care of his sister, did not send her home this time. He just called a taxi for them and told her to call him when she got home.
Chi Rui had no objection to this. She sat in the car, looking at Chi Lang and Cheng Haila who were standing on the side of the road watching them leave, with a complicated look in her eyes.
"What are you thinking about?" Ye Minghan put his arm around her shoulders.
Chi Rui retracted his gaze, but did not answer. He just shook his head and silently reorganized his shattered worldview in his heart...
New Year's Eve is coming soon.
That evening, Liu Manzhi had a simple reunion dinner with her two children and then took them to the party.
When she walked into the gate, an acquaintance in the circle called out to Liu Manzhi.
Because it was cold on New Year's Eve, she asked the two children to sit down first and she would go in to find them later.
Chi Rui also felt a little cold, so she did not refuse her mother's kindness and took Ye Minghan's arm and walked into the club together.
The two of them attended the event today in their best attire, and with their elegant manners and temperament, they looked like a prince and princess who had walked out of a painting.
Some fans mistook them for stars and took photos crazily with their phones. Some reporters even approached them for interviews, but were a little surprised when they found out they were ordinary people.
Chi Rui lifted her skirt and walked towards the VIP seats with Ye Minghan.
Because the aisle was a bit crowded, even though she was very careful, she still accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt.
Ye Minghan had been keeping an eye on her. Seeing this, he hurriedly reached out his hand and was about to support her, but an arm stretched out from the side and supported the girl before him.
He frowned and looked at the owner of the arm with a little hostility.
He was a very handsome man, dressed in a suit and with a slicked-back hair. He should be about the same age as Chi Lang, but his temperament was more profound.
Ye Minghan didn't pay much attention to the film and television industry, but he recognized the person in front of him.
If he remembered correctly, his name was Xing Ye, and he seemed to be a movie emperor.
"Uncle Xing Ye." Chi Rui had already stood firmly. Looking at Xing Ye who suddenly appeared, she was stunned at first, then called out obediently.
Although she was polite, she was not as enthusiastic as she was when she met acquaintances in the past.
All this is because Xing Ye was once Liu Manzhi's artist, but the two parted ways unhappily.
Although no one knew the reason, it caused a lot of uproar at the time, and everyone in the circle knew that the old partners did not get along.
Chi Rui wasn't quite sure why, but since her mother didn't like Uncle Xing Ye, she naturally had to keep her distance from him, even though she had no ill feelings towards him.
"Rui Rui has grown up." Xing Ye looked at her and smiled slightly. He was not bothered by her distantness. "I didn't recognize you when I saw you for the first time just now."
Chi Rui smiled at him and was about to pull Ye Minghan away, but Liu Manzhi just happened to come over.
"Ruirui, Ahan..."
She called them and hurried over, but when she saw the man next to them, she paused.
"Xing Ye, why are you here?"
She frowned slightly, but when Xing Ye saw her, his eyes lit up.
His slightly gloomy black eyes suddenly burst out with an indescribable brilliance, just like the blooming of spring flowers and the melting of ice and snow...
