Chapter 40

  Ye Chenyi pulled out the chair beside him, then gestured with his eyes for me to sit down. My movements seemed a bit stiff, carefully sitting down, carefully picking up the cold drink, and carefully glancing at him.

  Then, as if caught stealing, I coincidentally met Ye Chenyi's gaze.

  "Chen Yi, aren't you going to play?"

  "I didn't plan to come and play anyway." He smiled and turned sideways, selecting food from the self-service area right next to us. I stared at his hands in admiration - as expected of Ye Chenyi, the dishes he chose were a perfect balance of meat and vegetables, looking very appetizing!

  Although I never had the intention of eating vegetarian and non-vegetarian food together.

  But I was laughing at Ye Chenyi's choice just a few minutes later, and resolutely abandoned the combat position that I had adhered to for 16 years.

  Although I was sulking, I still took the plate he handed over and to be honest, I really didn't think this plate was prepared for me. Although it's a bit of a grievance, but it was immediately squeezed out by Ye Chenyi's gentle affection!

  Even the bitter vegetables that were hard to swallow in the past seem especially lovely now!

  However, I couldn't ignore the information revealed in his eyes: this kid is in a particularly good mood! I gave him a weird look and then looked down to examine myself again, but except for changing into my swimsuit, there was no other change.

  But what is he happy about?

  "Xiao Fei..." He suddenly spoke up and startled me.

  I looked at him inquiringly.

  "I'm so happy, you're mine." He smiled with narrowed eyes, looking languid like a lazy cat. But I didn't blush or get excited, instead my face turned pale.

  I put down the fork in my hand and looked up at him with a somewhat mournful tone: "Ye Chenyi, what am I to you?"

  He was taken aback, furrowed his brow, seemingly not understanding why I said that. I didn't pay attention to his expression and continued saying the words that had been pent up in my heart for a long time: "Is it something you can dispose of at will? Is that what you think? Oh, how could I have forgotten, when you first asked me out, you defined me as a discounted commodity." After a brief pause, I went on to say: "It seems that all along, I was just overthinking things. Well, I concede then."

  As the words fell, I picked up the hair that had slipped to my ear and combed it back behind my ear, then took the dinner plate away to put it in its place, and once again chose to turn around and leave. Maybe he's wondering now why I'm being so moody and unreasonable?

  Her face turned even paler.

  ……

  All the way along the seaside, I walked slowly, and I didn't know what had fascinated me. All the way, there was only one person in my mind with long hair fluttering, and I knew I still looked forward to him catching up. But after all, it's Ye Chenyi, always making me realize how foolish I am.

  The sea breeze messed up my hair that I had just tied up, and it also made the tears that I had just wiped away flow out again. I think Cheng Xiaofei is so spineless, clearly she was the one who said those words, clearly she understood long ago, why did she cry? If someone we know saw her, how embarrassing would that be?

  In the midst of tearful eyes, I was suddenly pulled to one side by a strong force, and then a huge billboard fell down from where I originally stood, it turned out to be a sign from a nearby construction site.

  I secretly blamed myself for being so unguarded, and when I turned around, I unexpectedly saw Ye Chenyi's gloomy face, his complexion was so dark it was frightening. I involuntarily became more cautious.

  "Chen, Chen Yi, what are you doing here?" I asked cleverly, but he glared at me fiercely and pulled my hand in, almost crushing my wrist.

  I couldn't help but wonder, logically speaking, in a situation like the one we just had, it's unlikely that he would speak to me again so soon, and yet here he is, scolding me with such a clear conscience after only ten minutes.

  Strange things happen every year, but this year is especially numerous.

  "Do you want to die like this?!" He walked all the way to the hotel corridor, and suddenly burst out with a loud roar. After I heard it, I hurriedly looked around, fortunately there were not too many people at this time. Moreover, Ye Chenyi and I were invited as guests, and our rooms were also on a separate floor.

  Suddenly, a hand grasped my chin, stopping me from looking around wildly. Before I could even react, I felt a familiar touch on my lips - an icy and soft sensation that belonged to Ye Chenyi.

  Sakura apologizes to everyone here, as the stored drafts have been used up. Sakura's typing speed is also extremely slow, so from today on, there will be one update per day instead of two. I'm really sorry.
